 AMENDMENT NUMBER 2 TO 
 SOLAR WAFER SUPPLY AGREEMENT 
 This Amendment
Number 2 to Solar Wafer Supply Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of July 23, 2009, by and between MEMC SINGAPORE PTE. LTD., a Singapore corporation (“MEMC Singapore”) and wholly-owned subsidiary
of MEMC ELECTRONIC MATERIALS, INC., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 501 Pearl Drive (City of O’Fallon), St. Peters, Missouri 63376, United States of America (“MEMC”), or such other designated
majority-owned subsidiary of MEMC, and SUNTECH POWER HOLDINGS CO., LTD., a Cayman Islands company with its principal place of business at 9 Xin Hua Road, 6th Floor, New District, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province 214028, People’s Republic of China
(“Suntech”) or its designated majority-owned subsidiary. MEMC Singapore and Suntech together shall be referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”. 
 RECITALS: 
 WHEREAS, on July 25, 2006, MEMC and Suntech entered into that certain Solar Wafer Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which MEMC agreed to supply and Suntech agreed to purchase certain quantities of solar
wafers, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, on October 6, 2006, pursuant to Section 7.6 of the
Agreement, MEMC assigned the Agreement to its wholly-owned subsidiary, MEMC Singapore; and 
 WHEREAS, on February 5, 2009,
MEMC Singapore and Suntech entered into that certain Amendment Number 1 to Solar Wafer Supply Agreement (the “First Amendment”), pursuant to which MEMC Singapore and Suntech agreed to certain changes to the Agreement related to 2009
price and volume; and 
  

 1 

 WHEREAS, the Parties hereto now wish to amend the Agreement, as amended by the First
Amendment and as provided herein by this Second Amendment, effective for the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2009, as of the effective date of this Second Amendment: 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, MEMC Singapore and Suntech agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 AMENDMENT TO SELECTED SECTIONS OF THE AGREEMENT 
 1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. 
 1.2 Revision of Attachment B to the Agreement
and Attachment B-1 to the First Amendment. Notwithstanding the price and volume schedules set forth in the Agreement or the First Amendment, the Parties have agreed to amend and revise the price and minimum volumes for the remainder of Contract
Year three (calendar year 2009) only by amending the Multi Wafer Price and Yearly Minimum Quantity rows for Contract Year three (calendar year 2009) on Attachment B to the Agreement (as revised as set forth on Attachment B-1 to the
First Amendment) as is set forth on Attachment B-2 to this Amendment. 
 1.3 Roll-forward of Revenue Requirement.

 (a) Required Share. Pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of the Agreement, Suntech is required to purchase
*** of Suntech’s then current solar wafer demand (measured in Watts), provided that MEMC Singapore can accommodate *** of Suntech’s actual then current solar wafer demand, all as further described in Section 2.2(a). MEMC Singapore
hereby affirms that it can accommodate at least *** of Suntech’s actual then current solar wafer demand for at least the next 18 months after the date of this First Amendment. Pursuant to Section 1.3 of the First Amendment, Suntech agreed
to certain minimum quarterly quantities of Wafers for Contract Year three (calendar year 2009) as was set forth on Attachment B-1 to the First Amendment. 
 (b) Rolling Forecasts and Binding Purchase Orders. Pursuant to Section 2.2(e) of the Agreement, Suntech is
required to provide twelve month rolling forecasts to MEMC Singapore, and pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Agreement, Suntech is required to maintain at all times binding purchase orders with MEMC Singapore for at least the next ninety
(90) days. Suntech affirms that it will use best efforts to comply with the binding purchase orders requirement of Section 2.3 of the Agreement and the twelve month rolling forecast requirement of Section 2.2(e) of the Agreement. MEMC
Singapore acknowledges that any rolling forecasts provided by Suntech beyond day 90 are not intended to be binding on Suntech. 
 (c) Minimum Revenue Requirement. In connection with the First Amendment, the Parties agreed to a revised (lower) price for Contract Year 3, in conjunction with an increased Yearly Minimum Quantity
commitment from Suntech in Contract Year 3, as was set forth on Attachment B-1 to the First Amendment, as well as a quarterly minimum demand schedule for Suntech as was set forth on Attachment B-1 to the First Amendment. The net end
result of the revisions reflected in the First Amendment described above and in Section 1.3(a) was to maintain the same aggregate revenue commitment from Suntech to MEMC Singapore for Contract Year 3 (the “Contract Year 3 Revenue
Amount”) as Suntech had previously committed to MEMC Singapore in the Agreement and in the First Amendment. Suntech has now requested a

  

 2 

 
further price reduction, and as a result, the Parties have agreed with this Second Amendment to a revision to Suntech’s Yearly Minimum Quantity for Contract Year three (calendar year 2009)
as is set forth on Attachment B-2 to this Second Amendment, at the prices set forth on Attachment B-2 to this Second Amendment. The amount by which the aggregate revenue to MEMC Singapore from actual purchases made by Suntech in
Contract Year 3 (notwithstanding the increased Contract Year 3 Yearly Minimum Quantity on Attachment B-2) is less than the Contract Year 3 Revenue Amount is the “Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall.” 
 (d) Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall – Possible Deferral. The Parties now hereby agree in this Second Amendment
that the payment to MEMC Singapore of the Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall in accordance with the timetable set forth in Section 2.2(d) and Section 3.1 of the Agreement may be deferred by Suntech if all of the following conditions are
met (and should Suntech meet all of its obligations set forth in this Section 1.3(d), including the purchase of the deferred quantities below, then MEMC Singapore agrees that it would waive all other rights and remedies it may otherwise have in
the case of a Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall, and MEMC Singapore will not exercise any such rights and remedies that it would have regarding a Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall unless and until any such time as one or more of the requirements
set forth below in this Section 1.3(d) are breached or not complied with by Suntech): 
 (i) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Second Amendment, Suntech agrees that the quantities of Wafers actually purchased and paid for by Suntech from MEMC Singapore in the third quarter of Contract Year 3 and the fourth quarter of Contract Year 3 shall be at
least equal to the minimum quarterly volumes for each of those calendar quarters as was set forth on Attachment B-1 to the First Amendment; and 
 (ii) If, as of January 31, 2010, Suntech is current in all payments due to MEMC Singapore, in accordance with the terms of Section 2.7 of the Agreement; and 
 (iii) If, by no later than the required dates set forth in the Agreement, Suntech has provided the required Loan/Security
Deposit Amount and Letter of Credit Amount (and Letter of Credit) for Contract Year 4 to MEMC Singapore (as the same may be agreed by the Parties in the future). 
 If all of the foregoing conditions are met, then Suntech may defer the payment to MEMC Singapore of the Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall, and perhaps eliminate some or all of it, by purchasing
(A) additional Wafers in Contract Year 4 (above the Yearly Minimum Quantities for Contract Year 4 currently set forth in the Agreement and the First Amendment) with additional incremental aggregate revenue to MEMC Singapore equal to twenty
percent (20%) of the amount of the Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall; and (B) additional Wafers in Contract Year 5 (above the Yearly Minimum Quantities for Contract Year 5 currently set forth in the Agreement and the First
Amendment) with additional incremental aggregate revenue to MEMC Singapore equal to twenty percent (20%) of the amount of the Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall; and (C) additional Wafers in Contract

  

 3 

 
Year 6 (above the Yearly Minimum Quantities for Contract Year 6 currently set forth in the Agreement and the First Amendment) with additional incremental aggregate revenue to MEMC Singapore equal
to twenty percent (20%) of the amount of the Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall; and (D) additional Wafers in Contract Year 7 (above the Yearly Minimum Quantities for Contract Year 7 currently set forth in the Agreement and the
First Amendment) with additional incremental aggregate revenue to MEMC Singapore equal to twenty percent (20%) of the amount of the Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall; and (E) additional Wafers in Contract Year 8 (above the Yearly
Minimum Quantities for Contract Year 8 currently set forth in the Agreement and the First Amendment) with additional incremental aggregate revenue to MEMC Singapore equal to twenty percent (20%) of the amount of the Contract Year 3 Purchase
Shortfall. If the Parties subsequently reduce pricing for all or a portion of any future Contract Year, then the Yearly Minimum Quantities for such future Contract Years will increase by a corresponding amount (all with the purpose of maintaining
the same aggregate revenue commitment from Suntech to MEMC Singapore for such Contract Year and/or the life of the Agreement), and the quantity of Wafers equal to the additional incremental Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall amount will be added to
this revised Yearly Minimum Quantity for each such Contract Year. The pricing for any such Wafers would be at the then prevailing price per Watt under the Agreement or any Amendments thereto. 
 (e) Yearly Minimum Quantity Amounts for future Contract Years. Assuming that Suntech’s actual Wafers purchased in
Contract Year 3 produces a Contract Year 3 Purchase Shortfall, then the Yearly Minimum Quantity required to be purchased by Suntech (without triggering a right for MEMC Singapore to recover immediately for a Purchase Shortfall in that Contract Year
pursuant to Section 2.2(d) of the Agreement) in any particular future Contract Year shall be equal to (A) the Yearly Minimum Quantity for such Contract Year plus (B) the quantity of Wafers equal to the amount of the Contract Year 3
Purchase Shortfall required to be purchased in that Contract Year as described in Section 1.3(d) above. 
 (f) Other Revenue. Both parties specifically agree that both “mono” and “multi” solar wafers, as well as polysilicon, and any other product sold by MEMC Singapore (or an Affiliate thereof), may be counted towards
any revenue shortfall referred to above, including the Year 3 Purchase Shortfall Amount, and that any revenue derived from such sales shall decrease Suntech’s purchase obligations (from the Yearly Minimum Quantities for Contract Year
“X” currently set forth in the Agreement and the First Amendment). Any sales of products not specifically set forth in this Amendment, the Agreement or the First Amendment intended to “count” for this purpose shall be on terms
and conditions mutually agreed by both parties. 
 1.4 Amendment to Section 2.5(a) of the Agreement.
Section 2.5(a) is hereby amended such that the third sentence of that Section, which begins “Notwithstanding the foregoing Ex Works . . .” is deleted in its entirety. The effect of such revision is that Suntech shall from the date
hereof bear 100% of the transportation costs of the Wafer purchases, instead of the 50% split between the Parties as set out in the Agreement. 
  

 4 

 1.5 Section 2.10 – Continuous Improvement. Pursuant to Section 2.10 of
the Agreement, the Parties agreed to work together on continuous improvement efforts to Wafers and Wafer specifications. In order to allow MEMC Singapore to offer the Wafer price reduction offered by this Amendment, the Parties have now agreed to
cooperate with each other to reach a *** Wafer thickness as soon as reasonably practicable. 
 ARTICLE II 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 2.1
No Other Changes. Other than with respect to the Sections of the Agreement and Attachments to the Agreement specifically enumerated above, this Amendment does not modify, change or delete any other addendum, term, provision, representation,
warranty or covenant (the “Provisions”) relating to or contained in the Agreement or any Attachment, and all such Provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 2.2 Amendment. This Amendment may be amended, modified or supplemented only in writing signed by MEMC Singapore and Suntech.

Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

 (v) $460,830 in cash (the “Unitholder Expense Contribution” and, together with the Preferred Unitholder
Initial Cash Payment, Preferred Unitholder Initial Stock Payment, Indemnification Escrow Cash Amount and the Indemnification Escrow Shares, the “Initial Merger Consideration”); plus 
 (vi) The amount, if any, of the Earnout Consideration payable in a combination of shares of Parent Common Stock and cash in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1.12. 
 (b) The Pro Rated Excess Unitholder Transaction Expenses shall be
paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.11(b) and shall reduce the Merger Consideration payable to the Unitholders. 
 (c) The Net Merger Consideration shall be paid by Parent as follows: 
 (i) the Preferred Unitholder Initial Merger Payment shall be paid to the Preferred Unitholders in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1.7 and 1.9;

Sections 1.7 and 1.12.

 1.6 Effect on Units and Cashout UARs. 
 (a) Effect on Units and Cashout UARs. Subject to Section 1.7(f) and any applicable backup or other withholding
requirements, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof: 
 (i) each Preferred Unitholder’s Preferred Units shall be converted into and become the right to receive an amount, in the aggregate, equal to such Preferred Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage of the Preferred Unitholders’
Distributed Merger Consideration. The amount to which any particular Preferred Unitholder is entitled pursuant to this Section 1.6(a)(i) is referred to as such Preferred Unitholder’s “Preferred Merger
Consideration.” 
 (ii) each Common Unitholder’s Common Units shall be converted into and become
the right to receive an amount, in the aggregate, equal to such Common Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage of the Common Unitholders’ Distributed Merger Consideration. The amount to which any such Common Unitholder is entitled pursuant to
this Section 1.6(a)(ii) is referred to as such Common Unitholder’s “Common Merger Consideration.” 
 (iii) each Cashout UAR Holder’s Cashout UARs shall be converted into and become the right to receive an amount, in the aggregate, equal to such Cashout UAR Holder’s Allocable Percentage of the
Cashout UAR Holders’ Distributed Merger Consideration. The amount to which any such Cashout UAR Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 1.6(a)(iii) is referred to as such Cashout UAR Holder’s “Cashout UAR Merger
Consideration.” 
 (b) Unpaid Distributions. Other than the amounts payable as part of the Merger Consideration,
any and all undeclared or unpaid dividends or distributions on the Units or unit appreciation rights of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled at the Effective Time. All the Units held in the treasury of the Company
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and no consideration of any kind shall be delivered in exchange therefor under this Agreement. 
 (c) Rights upon Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Units and Cashout UARs shall cease to represent any rights with respect thereto, and, subject to applicable Law and this Agreement,
shall only represent the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration payable hereunder with respect to such Units or Cashout UARs, as applicable. 
 1.7 Form of Payment Consideration. 
 (a) Payment of the amounts set forth in
Section 1.5(a) shall be effectuated as follows: 
 (i) Each Preferred Unitholder shall receive:

  

	 	(1)	an amount in cash equal to such Preferred Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage of the Preferred Unitholder Initial Cash Payment; 

  

 8 

	 	(2)	a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to such Preferred Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage of the Preferred Unitholder Initial Stock Payment;

  

	 	(3)	an amount in cash equal to the product of such Preferred Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage of Earnout Consideration payable to Preferred Unitholders in cash
pursuant to Section 1.12(c); 

  

	 	(4)	a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) such Preferred Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage of Earnout Consideration payable to
Preferred Unitholders in shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.12(c), divided by (B) the Parent Common Stock Value; 

  

	 	(5)	if a portion of the Indemnification Escrow Cash Amount and the Indemnification Escrow Shares is distributed to the Preferred Unitholders pursuant to the terms of the
Indemnification Escrow Agreement, each Preferred Unitholder shall receive an amount equal to such Preferred Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage of the amount distributed to the Preferred Unitholders pursuant to such Indemnification Escrow
Agreement, either in cash or shares of Parent Common Stock (valued at the Parent Common Stock Value), as applicable, as set forth therein; and 

  

	 	(6)	if a portion of the Expense Escrow Amount is distributed to the Preferred Unitholders pursuant to the terms of the Expense Escrow Agreement, each Preferred Unitholder
shall receive an amount equal to such Preferred Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage of the amount distributed to the Preferred Unitholders pursuant to such Expense Escrow Agreement in cash. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Closing, any Preferred Unitholder may exchange with any other Preferred Unitholder, all or a
portion of the cash that such Preferred Unitholder is entitled to under this Section 1.7(a)(i) for an equal value of shares of Parent Common Stock that such other Preferred Unitholder is entitled to under this
Section 1.7(a)(i), and vice versa, pursuant to Consideration Exchange Agreements, and any changes to the Allocable Percentages set forth in the updated Preferred Unitholder Schedule to be delivered on the Closing Date shall
reflect each Preferred Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock (including as a result of such Consideration Exchange Agreements, if any), and the Exchange Agent shall distribute the Merger Consideration
accordingly. 
 (ii) Each Common Unitholder shall receive: 
  

	 	(1)	if such Common Unitholder has made or is deemed to have made a Common Unitholder Cash Election pursuant to Section 1.8(a), an amount in cash equal to such
Common Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage of Common Merger Consideration; or 

  

 9 

	 	(2)	if such Common Unitholder has made a valid Common Unitholder Stock Election, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of such Common
Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage of Common Merger Consideration divided by (B) the Parent Common Stock Value; 

  

	 	(3)	if a portion of the Indemnification Escrow Cash Amount and the Indemnification Escrow Shares is distributed to the Common Unitholders pursuant to the terms of the
Indemnification Escrow Agreement, each Common Unitholder shall receive an amount equal to such Common Unitholder’s Allocable Percentage of the amount distributed to the Common Unitholders pursuant to such Indemnification Escrow Agreement,
either in cash or shares of Parent Common Stock (valued at the Parent Common Stock Value), as applicable, as set forth therein; and 

  

	 	(4)	if a portion of the Expense Escrow Amount is distributed to the Common Unitholders pursuant to the terms of the Expense Escrow Agreement, each Common Unitholder shall
receive an amount equal to its Allocable Percentage of the amount distributed to the Common Unitholders pursuant to such Expense Escrow Agreement in cash; 

 provided, however, that if and at such time as the Common Unitholders shall receive pursuant to this Section 1.7(a)(ii) an amount in cash and value of shares of Parent Common
Stock calculated at the Parent Common Stock Value equal to $21,525 per Common Unit (“Cashout UAR Threshold Amount”), the Cashout UAR Holders shall receive in cash, in respect of each Cashout UAR (for the avoidance of doubt, from and
out of the Net Merger Consideration), any amount payable to the Common Unitholders in respect of each Common Unit in excess of the Cashout UAR Threshold Amount as if each Cashout UAR was a Common Unit for purposes of this
Section 1.7(a)(ii) (therefore reducing the amount payable (in stock and/or cash, as applicable) to the Common Unitholders). 
 (b) Payment Priority. All payments of Net Merger Consideration (whether payments of Initial Merger Consideration, distributions to the Unitholders of any portion of the Indemnification Escrow
Amount, distributions to the Unitholders of any portion of Expense Escrow Amount or payment of the Earnout Consideration) shall be made in the following priority, consistent with the terms of the Operating Agreement as in effect immediately prior to
the Effective Time: 
 (i) First, such payments shall be made to the Preferred Unitholders, pro rata based on the
Allocable Percentage of each Preferred Unitholder, until the Preferred Merger Payments equal the Preferred Units Preference Amount; and 
 (ii) Second, payments in respect of Net Merger Consideration in excess of the Preferred Units Preference Amount, if any, shall be made to the Common Unitholders and the Cashout UAR Holders (if applicable)
pro rata based on the Allocable Percentage of each Common Unitholder and each Cashout UAR Holder (if applicable). 
  

 10 

 (c) Effect of Distribution of Preferred Units Preference Amount. For purposes of
clarity, the Parties acknowledge that the purpose of the foregoing payment provisions in Section 1.7(b) is to give effect to the relative distribution preferences and priority of the Preferred Units pursuant to the terms of the Operating
Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. The effect of this priority, when taken together with the fact that a portion of the Merger Consideration is subject to indemnification and expense escrow arrangements as well as the
earnout, means that the Common Unitholders and Cashout UAR Holders may not ultimately receive any payment of Merger Consideration. 
 (d) Stock Splits and Similar Events. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in connection with the Net Merger Consideration (including the Preferred Unitholder
Initial Stock Payment, the Indemnification Escrow Shares and the stock portion of the Earnout Consideration) shall be adjusted proportionately for any stock splits, subdivisions, reverse stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations, dividends,
distributions and the like. 
 (e) Example. Attached hereto as Annex A is an illustrative example of the
calculation and payment of Merger Consideration pursuant to the foregoing terms of this Agreement. 
 (f) Withholding.
Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from each Unitholder’s respective portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the
making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of United States federal, state or local, or any foreign, Tax Law. Such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Unitholders in respect
of which Parent made such deduction and withholding. 
 1.8 Election Mechanics. 
 (a) Common Unitholders. 
 (i) Generally. Each Common Unitholder shall make, or be deemed to have made, an election to receive all of its Common Merger Consideration (1) in shares of Parent Common Stock (a
“Common Unitholder Stock Election”) or (2) in cash (a “Common Unitholder Cash Election”) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.8. 
 (ii) Election Form; Accredited Investor Questionnaire. Promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall mail (by
U.S. Mail, reputable overnight delivery service or to the email address of such Person in the Company’s possession) to each Person who was a Common Unitholder of record as of the date hereof (1) a form, reasonably acceptable to Parent
(“Form of Election”), pursuant to which each Common Unitholder shall be entitled to elect to receive all of its Common Merger Consideration in either cash or shares of Parent Common Stock and (2) an Accredited Investor
Questionnaire, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent (an “AIQ Form” and, together with the Form of Election, the “Election Materials”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly make
available the Election Materials to any holder of Common Units who requests such materials following the initial mailing of the Election Materials and prior to the Election Deadline. In no event shall the initial mailing of Election Materials to the
Common Unitholders be made less than five (5) days prior to the Election Deadline. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have the option to mail the Election Materials in the same mailing as the Proxy Statement/Offering Memorandum.

  

 11 

 (iii) Election. 
  

	 	(1)	To make a valid Common Unitholder Stock Election, a Common Unitholder must deliver to the Company prior to the Election Deadline an executed and properly completed
(A) Form of Election making a Common Unitholder Stock Election and (B) an AIQ Form indicating that such Common Unitholder is an Accredited Investor. For clarity, any Common Unitholder who is not an Accredited Investor shall not be
entitled to make a Common Unitholder Stock Election and will receive his, her or its portion of the Common Merger Consideration, if any, in cash. 

  

	 	(2)	A Common Unitholder shall be deemed to have made a Common Unitholder Cash Election if such Common Unitholder: 

  

	 	a.	delivers to the Company prior to the Election Deadline an executed and properly completed Form of Election making a Common Unitholder Cash Election; or

  

	 	b.	does not deliver to the Company both (i) an executed and properly completed Form of Election prior to the Election Deadline and (ii) an AIQ Form indicating
that such Common Unitholder is an Accredited Investor; or 

  

	 	c.	otherwise has not satisfied the requirements of Section 1.8(a)(iii)(1) to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company on or prior to the Election Deadline.

 Any reasonable determination by the Company with respect to whether a Common Unitholder has or has not made a
valid Common Unitholder Stock Election shall be final, binding and unappealable. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions
of this Agreement are intended to provide that any Unitholder who has not executed and delivered an AIQ Form indicating that he, she, or it is an Accredited Investor shall receive cash in the Merger and not shares of Parent Common Stock. 

(iv) Schedule Update. Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver
(A) an updated Common Unitholder Schedule to Parent and the Exchange Agent which schedule shall indicate each Common Unitholder’s Common Unitholder Stock Election or Common Unitholder Cash Election and (B) an updated Cashout UAR
Holder Schedule to Parent and the Exchange Agent which schedule shall indicate each Cashout UAR Holder’s portion of the Common Unitholders’ Distributed Merger Consideration, if any. 
 (v) Election Deadline. Any election pursuant to this Section 1.8(a) shall have been made properly only if
the Company shall have received, by the Election Deadline, a Form of Election and AIQ Form with respect to any Common Unitholder Stock Election properly completed and signed and reasonably acceptable to the Company. As used herein, “Election
Deadline” means 9:00 a.m. Central time on the date of the Company Unitholder Meeting. 
  

 12 

 (b) Elections Irrevocable. All elections shall be irrevocable once made and shall be
binding on the Unitholder and any subsequent transferee of any Units. 
 1.9 Initial Preferred Unitholder Payment
Mechanics. 
 (a) Pursuant to an Exchange Agent Agreement between Parent and the Exchange Agent in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Representatives (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”), as of the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with an exchange agent selected by Parent with the Company’s prior approval, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Units, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock to be exchanged for Units in respect of the Preferred
Unitholder Initial Stock Payment to be paid in connection with the Merger and any cash necessary to pay the Preferred Unitholder Initial Cash Payment to be paid in connection with the Merger (such cash and such certificates for shares of Parent
Common Stock being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund,” it being understood that any and all interest earned on funds deposited therein pending payment shall be turned over to Parent and that Parent shall pay all of the
fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent). At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Parent shall enter into the Exchange Agent Agreement with the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, make
the payments provided for in this Section 1.9 and the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. 
 (b)
Parent will cause the Exchange Agent, on or prior to the Closing Date, to deliver to each Unitholder at the address set forth opposite such Unitholder’s name on Schedule 1.9(b) (as updated from time to time in writing by the Company) a
merger payment processing form and instructions for obtaining payment hereunder in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Representatives (a “Merger Payment Processing Form”). Upon submission of a completed Merger Payment
Processing Form to the Exchange Agent, the holder of the Units to which such Merger Payment Processing Form relates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash (without interest) and/or shares of Parent Common Stock, as applicable,
representing such holder’s respective portion of the Merger Consideration calculated in accordance with, and payable when and as provided in, this Agreement. Following the Effective Time and pending a Unitholder’s submission of a Merger
Payment Processing Form, each such Unitholder of outstanding Units will be deemed, for all purposes, to hold an irrevocable right to receive that amount of cash and/or shares of Parent Common Stock equal to his, her or its respective portion of the
Merger Consideration into which such Unitholder’s Units shall have been so converted in accordance with this Agreement. 
 (c) Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver, no later than four (4) Business Days after submission of a properly completed Merger Payment Processing Form by a Unitholder (but in no event prior to the Closing), cash (without
interest) and/or shares of Parent Common Stock, as applicable, representing such Unitholder’s respective portion of the Initial Merger Consideration calculated and payable in accordance with this Agreement. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent
to deliver, not later than four (4) Business Days after the later of submission of a properly completed Merger Payment Processing Form by a Unitholder or the date upon which the Earnout Consideration is paid to the Exchange Agent pursuant to
Section 1.12(c), cash (without interest) and/or shares of Parent Common Stock, as applicable, representing such Unitholder’s respective portion of the Earnout Consideration calculated and payable in accordance with this Agreement.

 (d) At or after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the transfer books of the Company of the Units that were
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. 
  

 13 

 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent
Common Stock will be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any holder of Units entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in lieu thereof an amount in cash
(without interest) determined by multiplying such fraction (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a share) by the Parent Common Stock Value. 
 (f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by a Preferred Unitholder six (6) months after the Effective Time, and any portion of the Earnout Consideration that remains unclaimed by a
Unitholder six (6) months after the date it is paid to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 1.12(c), shall be delivered to Parent and any such Unitholder who has not returned a Merger Payment Processing Form in accordance with
this Section 1.9 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of such Unitholder’s portion of the Initial Merger Consideration or Earnout Consideration, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Surviving Company, the Representatives or any other party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar
Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Units two (2) years after the Effective Time or two (2) years after the date it is paid to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 1.12(c) (or, in either case, such earlier date
immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Government authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of
any Person previously entitled thereto. 
 1.10 Indemnification Escrow. 
 (a) Indemnification Escrow Account. On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay (or cause to be paid), by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, the Indemnification Escrow Cash Amount and deliver the Indemnification Escrow Shares, in each case to U.S. Bank, National Association, as escrow agent (“Indemnification Escrow Agent”), such Indemnification Escrow
Amount to be held in escrow to satisfy, at least in part (and only to satisfy), the indemnity obligations described in Section 7.2(a) of this Agreement. The Indemnification Escrow Agent shall hold the Indemnification Escrow Amount in a
segregated account (“Indemnification Escrow Account”) and invest, and make payments of, the Indemnification Escrow Amount solely in accordance with the terms of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit G (“Indemnification Escrow Agreement”). 
 (b) The Representatives. Upon any
claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2, the Representatives shall serve as the designated representative of the Unitholders for purposes of receiving notices, contesting claims, authorizing payments for such claims and all
such other proper purposes in all respects consistent with the provisions of Section 1.13 below. 
 (c) Remaining
Balance in Indemnification Escrow Account. Upon the expiration of the Indemnification Escrow Period, Parent and the Representatives shall cause the Indemnification Escrow Agent (in accordance with the terms of the Indemnification Escrow
Agreement) to pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Cash Amount or distribute any remaining Indemnification Escrow Shares to such account(s) designated by the Representatives (on behalf of
the Unitholders), any amounts and shares remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Account not then subject to claims for indemnification made by Parent in accordance with the provisions of Article 7, for distribution to the Unitholders in
accordance with the terms of the Indemnification Escrow Agreement and this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, “Indemnification Escrow Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and concluding on the 15 month
anniversary of the Closing Date. 
  

 14 

 (d) Merger Consideration Adjustments. Except for any interest amount(s) paid thereon
(which interest, together with all dividends on Indemnification Escrow Shares, shall be paid to (i) Parent with respect to any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount distributed to Parent and (ii) the Unitholders with respect to any
portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount distributed to the Unitholders), any amounts distributed to Parent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.10 shall be deemed to be and treated for all purposes as adjustments to the
Merger Consideration. 
 1.11 Payment Mechanics of Unitholder Transaction Expenses. 
 (a) Estimated Unitholder Transaction Expenses. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall
provide to Parent an estimate which has been approved in advance by the Representatives (which estimate shall include such reserves as the Company determines in good faith to be appropriate for any expenses that are not then known or determinable)
of the Unitholder Transaction Expenses (segregated by payee, to the extent reasonably known or anticipated) that have been incurred prior to the Closing and that will be incurred at or after the Closing (“Estimated Unitholder Transaction
Expenses”), in each case whether or not paid prior to the Closing. For purposes of this Agreement, “Unitholder Transaction Expenses” means all expenses for legal, investment banking and/or financial advisory fees of the
Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without
limitation, the Merger), including fees and expenses, whether or not paid prior to the Closing, in respect of such matters of Goodwin Procter LLP, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, LLP, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and any other Person other
than Ernst & Young LLP (including any fees or expenses incurred in connection with preparation of the Revised Financial Statements), the Indemnification Escrow Agent or the Exchange Agent. 
 (b) Payment of Estimated Unitholder Transaction Expenses. On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay (by wire transfer of immediately
available funds): (i) to Goodwin Procter LLP, the amount indicated in the Estimated Unitholder Transaction Expenses as payable to Goodwin Procter LLP; (ii) to Morgan Stanley the amount indicated in the Estimated Unitholder Transaction
Expenses as payable to Morgan Stanley; (iii) to Goldman Sachs the amount indicated in the Estimated Unitholder Transaction Expenses as payable to Goldman Sachs; (iv) to Orrick Herrington Sutcliffe LLP the amount indicated in the Estimated
Unitholder Transaction Expenses as payable to Orrick Herrington Sutcliffe LLP; and (v) to any other Person (other than Ernst & Young LLP, the Indemnification Escrow Agent and the Exchange Agent) indicated in the Estimated Unitholder
Transaction Expenses, the amount indicated in the Estimated Unitholder Transaction Expenses as payable to such Person. An amount equal to 92.166% of any Unitholder Transaction Expenses in excess of $5,000,000 (the “Pro Rated Excess
Unitholder Transaction Expenses”) shall be paid out of the Preferred Unitholder Initial Cash Payment. 
 1.12
Earnout. 
 (a) Earnout Consideration. If the Surviving Company achieves the Qualified MWs as calculated pursuant
to Schedule 1.12 (the “Earnout Calculation Schedule”), then Parent shall pay to the Unitholders the amount of consideration set forth on and in accordance with the Earnout Calculation Schedule (the “Earnout
Consideration”). Any portion of the Earnout Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.7 to the (i) Preferred Unitholders shall be paid 30% in shares of Parent Common Stock and 70% in cash based on their respective
Allocable Percentages, unless otherwise provided for in the Consideration Exchange Agreements and (ii) Common Unitholders shall be paid in shares of Parent Common Stock and/or cash in proportions as are determined by reference to each Common
Unitholder’s Earnout Consideration Stock Election Percentage or Earnout Consideration Cash Election Percentage. Parent Common Stock shall be valued at the Parent Common Stock Value for purposes of payment of the Earnout Consideration.

  

 15 

 (b) Earnout Period. Within 15 days following the expiration of the period commencing
on January 1, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2010 unless the Closing has not occurred by January 1, 2010, in which case the period shall commence on the Closing Date and end 12 months following the Closing Date (as applicable, the
“Earnout Period”), Parent shall (i) deliver a statement (the “Earnout Statement”) to the Representatives containing Parent’s calculation of the Earnout Consideration (the “Preliminary Earnout
Consideration”). Parent shall permit the Representatives and their accountants to review promptly upon reasonable request, on-site or otherwise, during normal business hours as mutually agreed, all records, work papers and other information
prepared or used by Parent in connection with the preparation of the Earnout Statement. The Representatives shall have up to 15 Business Days after receipt of the Earnout Statement and all requested records, work papers and other information
prepared or used by Parent in connection with the preparation of the Earnout Statement to dispute any or all amounts or elements of such Earnout Statement pursuant to Schedule 5.10(e). 
 (c) Final Determination. No later than one (1) Business Day following the Final Determination Date of such Earnout Statement,
Parent shall pay to the Exchange Agent (for the account of the Unitholders) by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds or certificates, as applicable, an amount equal to the Earnout Consideration due pursuant to the final
determination of such Earnout Statement pursuant to Section 1.12(b) and instruct the Exchange Agent to distribute such Earnout Consideration within four (4) Business Days thereafter in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Closing in the event that Parent claims that any Parent Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification or other payments under this
Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (to the extent permitted in accordance with Article 7 or Section 9.7(b) hereof) in an amount (the “Excess Amount”) in excess of (i) any
remaining Cash Escrow Funds (as defined in the Indemnification Escrow Agreement) or Escrowed Shares (as defined in the Indemnification Escrow Agreement and valued at the Parent Common Stock Value) less (ii) any Claimed Amount (as defined in the
Indemnification Escrow Agreement) which has not been previously paid to Parent, then Parent shall be entitled to retain such Excess Amount from the Earnout Consideration until the claims of any such Parent Indemnified Persons have been resolved;
provided, however, that the Excess Amount shall not be greater than the Adjustable Earnout Setoff Amount with respect to those indemnification rights of Parent Indemnified Persons that are subject to the Parent Special Matters Cap (it
being understood that if Releases are executed by 100% of the Unitholders, the Adjustable Earnout Setoff Amount shall be zero (0) and (except in instances of breach, fraud or intentional misrepresentation) Parent shall not be entitled to retain
any portion of the Earnout Consideration with respect to those indemnification rights of Parent Indemnified Persons that are subject to the Parent Special Matters Cap); provided, further, that (except in instances of willful breach,
fraud or intentional misrepresentation) Parent shall pay any portion of the Earnout Consideration in excess of the Excess Amount to the Exchange Agent (for the account of the Unitholders) by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available
funds or certificates, as applicable. Promptly following the resolution of any such claims, Parent shall pay to the Exchange Agent (for the account of the Unitholders) by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds or
certificates, as applicable, the portion, if any, of the Excess Amount to which the Parent Indemnified Persons are not entitled and to the applicable Parent Indemnified Persons the portion, if any, of the Excess Amount to which they are entitled.

 (d) Tax Treatment. The Unitholders and Parent shall to the extent permitted by applicable Law treat and report for
applicable Tax reporting purposes any Earnout Consideration as payment of additional Merger Consideration, except that a portion of the Earnout Consideration shall constitute interest as determined using the appropriate applicable federal rate (as
defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder), and shall be treated and reported by Unitholders and Parent as interest for such purposes. 
  

 16 

 (e) Covenants. Section 5.10 and Schedule 5.10 set forth certain
covenants with respect to the operation of the Surviving Company during the Earnout Period and certain methodologies to be followed in determining whether the Qualified MWs have been achieved and whether the Earnout Consideration, if any, will be
payable to Unitholders in accordance with this Agreement. 
 1.13 Unitholders’ Representatives; Actions. 

(a) Thomas Melone (“Preferred Representative”), Carlos Domenech (“Common Representative”) and Peter J.
Lee (“Independent Representative” and, together with the Preferred Representative and the Common Representative, the “Representatives”) have been appointed as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the
Unitholders for all matters in connection with this Agreement, the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, the Expense Escrow Agreement, the Exchange Agent Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to and by virtue of the requisite approval
of this Agreement by the Unitholders. The Representatives will act on behalf of the Unitholders with respect to all matters requiring action by the Unitholders under this Agreement, the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, the Expense Escrow Agreement,
the Exchange Agent Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and any other agreement to which the Representatives will be a party in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The
Representatives hereby accept such appointment. Such Representatives may be changed from time to time upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Parent. A vacancy in the position of (i) the Preferred Representative
(and any successor thereto) may be filled by the vote of the Preferred Unitholders holding a majority of the Preferred Units, (ii) the Common Representative (and any successor thereto) may be filled by the vote of the Common Unitholders holding
a majority of the Common Units and (iii) the Independent Representative (and any successor thereto) may be filled by the vote of the Unitholders holding a majority of all Units. In the event of the incapacity of any Representative, a successor
representative will be appointed by the Unitholders entitled to fill the vacancy as described in the foregoing sentence. 
 (b)
At all times, an agreement among two of the three Representatives shall be required to take any action in their capacity as the Representatives (on behalf of the Unitholders) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Subject to the
foregoing sentence, the Representatives shall have the full power and authority to take all actions required to be taken by the Unitholders under this Agreement, the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, the Expense Escrow Agreement, the Exchange Agent
Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Unitholder Representative Agreements”) and may take any action contemplated by any Unitholder Representative Agreement which it believes is necessary or appropriate
under such Unitholder Representative Agreement, including, without limitation, executing each Unitholder Representative Agreement, authorizing payments to be made with respect hereto or thereto, objecting to such payments, giving and receiving
notices and communications permitted or required under any Unitholder Representative Agreement, obtaining reimbursements as provided for herein for all out-of-pocket fees and expenses and other obligations of or incurred by the Representatives in
connection with any Unitholder Representative Agreement, disputing calculation of the Earnout Consideration, defending all indemnity claims against the Indemnification Escrow Account or Unitholders pursuant to this Agreement (an “Indemnity
Claim”), consenting to, compromising or settling all Indemnity Claims, agreeing to, negotiating, entering into settlements and compromises of, and demanding arbitration and complying with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with
respect to such claims, conducting negotiations with Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Person and their respective agents regarding such claims and dealing with Parent or any other Parent Indemnified Person, the Exchange Agent, the Expense
Escrow Agent and the Indemnification Escrow Agent under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Representatives shall have the full power and authority to interpret (on behalf of the Unitholders) the terms and
provisions of each Unitholder Representative Agreement including, without

  

 17 

 
limitation, to consent to any amendment or waiver of any provision hereof or thereof in their capacity as Representatives. By giving notice to the Representatives in the manner provided by
Section 9.1, Parent shall be deemed to have given notice to all Unitholders. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representatives, including an amendment, extension or waiver of any provision of any Unitholder Representative
Agreement, shall require an agreement of two of three Representatives and shall constitute a decision of the Unitholder(s) for whom such action was taken and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon such Unitholder(s). Any action taken by two of
three the Representatives may be considered by Parent, each other Parent Indemnified Person, the Exchange Agent, the Expense Escrow Agent and the Indemnification Escrow Agent to be the action of the Unitholder(s) for whom such action was taken for
all purposes of such Unitholder Representative Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 
 (c) In the event that Parent
gives notice to the Representatives of a claim for which indemnification may be sought, the Representatives shall have the authority to determine, in their sole judgment, whether to retain counsel (and to select that counsel) to protect the
Unitholders’ interests, subject to Section 7.5, whether to assume the defense of or otherwise to control the handling of the claim, whether to consent to indemnification and to make all other decisions required to be made by the
Unitholders pursuant to any Unitholder Representative Agreement, including without limitation whether to consent or withhold their consent to any settlement or compromise of a claim. 
 (d) The Representatives shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or the performance of services as the Representatives, a fiduciary
relationship with any Unitholders. The Representatives shall not be liable to any Unitholder for any act or omission taken pursuant to or in conjunction with this Agreement, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Representatives shall be indemnified and held harmless first from the Expense Escrow Fund, second from any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount and Earnout Consideration to be distributed to the Unitholders and Cashout UAR Holders and third
from the Unitholders and Cashout UAR Holders, severally and not jointly, against any and all Loss, liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel) which may arise out of any action taken or
omitted by them as the Representatives in accordance with this Agreement, the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, the Expense Escrow Agreement, the Exchange Agent Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified or
supplemented, except such Loss, liability or expense as may result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Representative. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The Indemnification Escrow Agent, Expense
Escrow Agent, Exchange Agent, Parent and each other Parent Indemnified Person are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representatives. 
 (e) The Representatives agree that within a commercially reasonable time after receipt of notice of a claim, they shall give each Unitholder
notice of the same and shall from time to time keep the Unitholders reasonably apprised as to developments with respect to such claim. Such notices shall be sent to the Unitholders at their respective addresses as may be communicated to the
Representatives in writing by the Unitholders. 
 (f) The Unitholder Expense Contribution shall be paid into the Expense Escrow
Fund out of the Merger Consideration for the benefit of the Unitholders and the Unitholders shall retain all right, title and interest in such amount and $39,170 shall be paid into the Expense Escrow Fund out of Parent’s cash on hand and does
not represent any portion of the Merger Consideration (the “Parent Expense Contribution”). All disbursements from the Expense Escrow Fund shall be made pro rata as between the Unitholder Expense Contribution and the Parent Expense
Contribution. As of the expiration or termination of the Expense Escrow Agreement or as otherwise contemplated thereby, any remaining portion shall be distributed to the Unitholders (in accordance with the preference and payment provisions set forth
in this Agreement) and Parent, pro rata based on the initial contribution amounts. At the

  

 18 

 
Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Unitholder Expense Contribution and the Parent Expense Contribution (the “Expense Escrow Amount”) to be deposited on behalf of the
Unitholders and certain employees of the Company with U.S. Bank, National Association (the “Expense Escrow Agent”), such deposit to constitute the expense escrow fund for the benefit and use of the Representatives should it be
necessary as provided herein (the “Expense Escrow Fund”). The Expense Escrow Fund shall be used to reimburse the out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal, accounting and other advisors’ fees and expenses, if applicable)
incurred by the Representatives in performing all of its duties and obligations as the Representatives. Each Unitholder hereby authorizes the Representatives to enter into an Escrow Agreement (the “Expense Escrow Agreement”) with
the Expense Escrow Agent, under such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Expense Escrow Agent consistent with the terms hereof and in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent. If any portion of the Expense Escrow
Amount is disbursed to the Unitholders from the Expense Escrow Fund at the discretion of the Representatives, such disbursement shall be allocated among the Unitholders pursuant to the provisions of the Expense Escrow Agreement and this Agreement.

 1.14 Allocation. The Company and Parent agree to treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance
with Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432 (Situation 1) (A) as a sale of Units with respect to Unitholders and (B) with respect to Parent, as a purchase by Parent of all of the assets of the Company attributable to such Units and
assumption by Parent of all of the Company’s liabilities attributable to such Units (other than liabilities for which Parent is required to be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement). The Parties agree, to prepare jointly a valuation, based
upon the Merger Consideration (and all other capitalized costs) and using principles of Section 1060 of the Code for purposes of applying Section 751 of the Code to Unitholders in the Company and Section 1060 of the Code to Parent, of
the assets owned by the Company attributable to such Units, which valuation shall be binding upon Parent, Acquisition Subsidiary and the Company. Such valuation shall be completed no later than 15 days prior to the Closing Date, and the joint
agreement of the Parties to such valuation shall be a condition to the Closing as set forth in Sections 6.2(n) and 6.3(p). The Parties agree that with respect to Parent, the Merger Consideration, the liabilities of the Company and
any other relevant items shall be allocated among the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder and on a basis consistent with such valuation. The Representatives, the Company and
Parent and their Affiliates shall report, act, and file Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such valuation. The Company and Parent shall timely and properly prepare, execute, file, and deliver all such documents, forms,
and other information as may reasonably requested in preparing such valuation. None of the Representatives, the Company, the Surviving Company or Parent shall take any tax position (whether in audits, tax returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent
with such allocation.

Class D Units. As of the date of this Agreement, 1,243.3250 Class A Units, 200 Class B Units, 1,840.0482 Class C Units and 41.3708 Class D Units (each, a “Unit” and, collectively, the “Units”)
are issued and outstanding. Schedule 2.3(a) lists each holder of record of the Units and the class and number of Units owned by such holder as of the date of this Agreement. All equity interests in the Company are owned by the Unitholders, of
record, and constitute the only issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company. To the Knowledge of the Company, each such holder owns his, her or its Units in the Company free and clear of any Lien. All of the Units were duly authorized and

Preferred Unitholder Schedule will be true, correct and complete and will accurately reflect the number of issued and outstanding Units of the Company. None of the restrictions on the rights of transfer or disposition which are set forth in the
Operating Agreement apply to or are implicated by the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.3(a) (all of which will be terminated at the Closing) and subject in the case of the HSH Warrants to Parent’s compliance with its obligations pursuant to
Section 5.11, (i) there are no authorized or outstanding (A) equity securities of the Company other than the Units or (B) warrants, preemptive rights, other rights or options with respect to any equity securities of the
Company or any equity securities or right convertible into, exchangeable for, or evidencing the right to subscribe for, any equity securities of the Company other than the Warrants listed on Schedule 2.3(b), and (ii) neither the Company

Common Unitholder Schedule and Preferred Unitholder Schedule as issued and outstanding. 
 (c) Except for such agreements
contained in the Operating Agreement or as set forth on Schedule 2.3(c), there are no equity agreements, buy-sell agreements, voting trusts, preemptive rights or other agreements to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a
party or by which it is bound under applicable Law with respect to any of its Units or other equity interests. To the Knowledge of the Company, there are no equity agreements, buy-sell agreements, voting trusts, preemptive rights or other agreements
to which any of the Unitholders is a party or is bound under applicable Law, other than the Operating Agreement and those set forth on Schedule 2.3(c).

applicable federal and state securities laws. 
 (e) Each of the unit appreciation rights, the 2008 Unit Plan, the UAR Plan and
the Warrants may, in accordance with their respective terms, be terminated in the manner provided for in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Cashout UARs shall be treated in accordance with this Agreement. The Company does not
have more than 1,403,985 Cashout UARs issued and outstanding. Set forth on Schedule 2.3(e) is a true, complete and correct list of all Cashout UAR Holders, together with

  

 21 

 
the number of Cashout UARs held by each such Cashout UAR Holder (collectively, the “Cashout UAR Holder Schedule”). All of the amounts payable to the Cashout UAR Holders pursuant
to this Agreement have been determined in accordance with, and not in violation of, the terms of the Operating Agreement and the UAR Plan (including, in each case, with respect to the Cashout UAR Threshold Amount) and shall be deducted from the Net
Merger Consideration payable to the Unitholders. Schedule 2.3(e) sets forth the manner in which the Cashout UAR Threshold was determined. 
 (f) Each of the amounts payable to the holders of the Class A Units, Class B Units, Class C Units, Class D Units and Cashout UARs under this Agreement has been calculated and will be paid (when paid
in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement) in accordance with and subject to all terms of the Seventh Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Company dated as of May 8, 2008, as amended on July 31,
2008, September 29, 2008 and December 18, 2008 (the “Operating Agreement”), the UAR Plan and any other agreements binding upon the Company or to which the Company is subject and all applicable Laws. The Company has
made available to Parent a true, correct and complete copy of the Operating Agreement. 
 2.4 Enforceability;
Noncontravention; Consents. 
 (a) The Company has the limited liability company power and authority to enter into this
Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and, subject to obtaining the Required Unitholder Approval, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company has previously obtained the Required Board Approval. Assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of Parent and Acquisition Subsidiary, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective
terms, except to the extent that enforceability hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and general equitable principles. 

(b) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents by the Company or the Representatives, the
performance by the Company and the Representatives of their obligations hereunder or thereunder, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will violate, conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the
organizational documents (including the Operating Agreement) of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Representatives. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(b) and subject to obtaining the Required Unitholder Approval, neither of the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Representatives is subject to or bound under applicable Law by any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree of any court, administrative or regulatory body, governmental
agency, arbitrator, mediator or similar body, which would (i) conflict with or be violated by, in any material respect, the execution, delivery or performance by them of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) prevent, in any material respect, the carrying out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents. 
 (c) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(c) and subject to obtaining the Required Unitholder Approval, neither of the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries or any of the Representatives is a party to, subject to or bound under applicable Law by any material note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, lien, agreement, lease or contract which would (i) conflict with or be
breached or violated or the rights or the obligations thereunder accelerated, increased, extinguished or terminated (whether or not with notice or lapse of time or both), in any material respect, by the execution, delivery or performance by them of
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) prevent, in any material respect, the carrying out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other
Transaction Documents. 
  

 22 

 (d) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4(d), no material permit, consent, waiver,
approval or authorization of, or declaration to or filing or registration with, any third Person or any Government is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the
Company or the Representatives or the consummation by the Company or the Representatives of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents, except for: (A) the filing of a pre-merger notification and report form by
the Company under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR Act”), and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period thereunder; and (B) the filing of the Certificate of Merger
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in the creation of any material Liens against the Company or its
Subsidiaries or any of the properties or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries. As used in this Agreement, “Liens” means any, lien, claim, encumbrance, security interest, charge, pledge, equitable interest or other restriction
except for Permitted Liens and “Permitted Liens” means (i) Liens reflected in the Balance Sheet, (ii) Taxes, fees, assessments or other governmental charges which are not delinquent or remain payable without penalty, or
which are being challenged in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (iii) mechanics’, materialmens’, carriers’, workers’, repairmen’s, landlords’ and other similar liens arising or incurred in the Ordinary Course
of Business with respect to charges not yet due and payable, (iv) any matters which an accurate survey of the Real Property would show, (v) any matters set forth in any instrument recorded or filed in the applicable land records for the
Real Property, (vi) imperfection of title which are not material in character, amount or extent and which do not materially interfere with the current use of such Real Property and assets subject thereto or affected thereby and (vii) Liens
imposed by the Company Credit Facilities, working capital facilities and Project financings. The Company’s tangible assets and Real Property are adequate, in all material respects, for the conduct of the Company’s business in substantially
the same manner and to substantially the same extent as presently conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
 (e) Except
to the extent required pursuant to this Agreement, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Class A Units, Class B Units and Class C Units, voting together as a single class (the “Required Unitholder Approval”) is
the only vote of the Unitholders of any of the Company’s equity necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger, and the approval mechanisms described in Sections 7.01 and 7.09 of the Company’s Operating Agreement (the
“Required Board Approval” and, together with the Required Unitholder Approval, the “Required Approvals”) are the only vote of the members of the Company Board necessary in connection with the consummation of the
Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the Company Unitholder Meeting, the Company Unitholder Approval. 
 2.5 Financial Statements. 
 (a) Set forth on Schedule 2.5 are (i) the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the related audited statements

balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2008 shall be considered the “Audited Balance Sheet,” and the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2009 shall be considered the
“Balance Sheet.” The Company has made available to Parent copies of the documentation creating or governing all outstanding material securitization transactions and on-going material “off-balance sheet arrangements”

 23 

 
Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Securities Act”)) effected by the Company, and such documentation is true, complete

complete in all material respects and contain materially accurate and complete records of all meetings held of, and action taken by, the members or shareholders, as applicable, the board of managers or directors, as applicable, and the committees of

and such books and records (i) are true, correct and complete except to the extent the failure to be so true, correct and complete would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect and (ii) contain accurate and
complete records of all meetings held of, and action taken by, the members or shareholders, as applicable, the board of managers or directors, as applicable, and the committees of the board of managers or directors of each such Subsidiary, except to

its Subsidiaries will be in the possession or control of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Intertrust (Fortis). 
 (b) Each of
the Company and its Subsidiaries has established commercially reasonable accounting and financial controls to operate the Company’s business. 
 2.7 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material liabilities or obligations, whether known or unknown, accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or
otherwise (and there is no valid basis for any such liability or obligation or any valid claim in respect thereof), other than: 
 (a) to the extent and for the amount reflected as a liability on the Balance Sheet; 
  

 24 

 (b) liabilities or obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business since the date of
the Balance Sheet (none of which is reasonably expected to have an adverse impact in any material respect upon the Company) that are not required to be set forth in a Schedule hereto; 
 (c) obligations for performance (but not for breach) under contracts; and 
 (d) the other obligations and liabilities disclosed on Schedule 2.7. 
 As used in this Agreement, “Ordinary Course of Business” means, (i) with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, only the ordinary course of commercial operations
customarily engaged in by the Company and its Subsidiaries consistent with past practices, and specifically does not include (A) activity involving the purchase or sale of such Person or any product line or business unit thereof, or
(B) the incurrence of any liability for any tort or any breach or violation of or default under any contract or Law and (ii) with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, only the ordinary course of commercial operations customarily
engaged in by Parent and its Subsidiaries consistent with past practices, and specifically does not include the incurrence of any liability for any tort or any breach or violation of or default under any contract or Law. 
 2.8 Taxes. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.8: 
 (a) The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed, or caused to be filed on a timely basis (including any extensions) all income Tax Returns and all other material Tax Returns required to be filed by each
of them, and such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has entered into any “listed transactions” as defined in Treasury regulation 1.6011-4(b)(2), and the Company and
its Subsidiaries have properly disclosed all reportable transactions as required by Treasury regulation 1.6011-4, including filing Form 8886 with Tax Returns and with the Office of Tax Shelter Analysis, and there has been no act or omission on the
part of the Company and its Subsidiaries that has resulted or could result in the imposition of a penalty under Section 6707A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). 
 (b) Schedule 2.8 lists all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company and its Subsidiaries for periods up to the Closing Date
(whether or not the period ends on such date) that have not been filed on or before the Closing Date. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries currently is the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return.

 (c) All Taxes reflected on the income Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and all material Taxes reflected
on all other Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, have been timely (after taking into account any extensions thereof) and fully paid. To the Company’s Knowledge there are no reasonable grounds for the assertion or assessment
of additional material Taxes against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets. 
 (d) The
Company and its Subsidiaries have timely and properly withheld and paid all material Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with any amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, member or stockholder,
as applicable, or other third party (whether arising on or prior to the Closing Date or out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), including, but not limited to, amounts required to be withheld under Sections 1441 and 1442 of the
Code (or similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Law). 
 (e) The unpaid Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries
(i) do not exceed the reserves for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) reflected in the Interim Financials and on the Balance Sheet

  

 25 

 
and (ii) will not exceed such reserves, as adjusted for operations and transactions through the Closing Date in accordance with GAAP and with the past custom and practice of the Company and
its Subsidiaries in filing their Tax Returns. 
 (f) There are no material Liens for Taxes (other than for current Taxes not yet
due and payable) upon any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 (c) Schedule 2.14(c) (A) sets forth a list of each of the material Company
proprietary products and services currently produced, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold, furnished, distributed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each of the foregoing cases, solely to the extent made generally commercially
available (each a “Company Product or Service”), and (B) identifies, for each such Company Product or Service, whether the Company or its Subsidiary provides support or maintenance for such Company Product or Service. The
operation of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business as currently conducted (including the use, development, manufacture, marketing, license, sale or furnishing of any Company Product or Service) does not infringe or misappropriate
any Intellectual Property right of any third party other than any patent of a third party, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, the operation of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business as currently conducted (including the use,
development, manufacture, marketing, license, sale or furnishing of any Company Product or Service) does not infringe any patent of any third party. Except as set forth Schedule 2.14(c), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received any written notice asserting that any process, machine, manufacture or composition of matter used, sold, offered for sale, distributed, exported or imported by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the proposed use, sale, offer for
sale, distribution, export or import of any process, machine, manufacture or composition of matter by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries conflicts with or infringes, or would conflict with or infringe, the Intellectual Property or other rights
of any third party, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice from any third party offering a license under any such third party Intellectual Property or other right to avoid litigation or other claims.

 (d) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.14(d), no current or, to the Company’s Knowledge, former employee,
consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries: (i) is in violation of any term or covenant of any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement, invention assignment agreement, nondisclosure agreement,
noncompetition agreement or any other Contract with any third party by virtue of such employee, consultant or independent contractor being employed by, or performing services for, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or using Trade Secrets or
other Intellectual Property of others without permission; (ii) has developed any technology, Software or other copyrightable, patentable or otherwise proprietary work for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is subject to any Contract
under which such employee, consultant or independent contractor has assigned or otherwise granted to any third party any Intellectual Property or other right in or to such technology, Software or other copyrightable, patentable or otherwise
proprietary work; or (iii) who participated in the creation of any of the Company’s Intellectual Property, has failed to deliver an enforceable written Contract assigning the rights to such employee’s, consultant’s or independent
contractor’s material contributions to the Company IP Rights that may be owned by such Persons or that the Company does not otherwise own by operation of law. To the Company’s Knowledge, neither the employment of any employee of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor the use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of the services of any consultant or independent contractor subjects the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any obligation to any third party for improperly
soliciting such employee, consultant or independent contractor to work for the Company or such Subsidiary, whether such obligation is contractual or otherwise. To the Company’s Knowledge, no third party has or will have the right to revoke any
assignment of material Company IP Rights or the right to revoke any license of material Company IP Rights other than for cause. 
 (e) The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable steps consistent with industry standard practices to protect, preserve and maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of Trade Secrets in the Company IP Rights. Except as set forth on
Schedule 2.14(e), no current or former employee, officer, director, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any right, license, claim or interest whatsoever in or with respect to any Company IP
Rights.

interest in Company IP Rights, including all Patents, Copyrights and Trademarks, and, where applicable, the jurisdiction in which each of the items of Company IP Rights has been applied for, filed, issued or registered, and (iii) all inter
parties proceedings or actions before any court or tribunal (including the United States Patent and Trademark Office or equivalent authority anywhere else in the world) related to any of Company IP Rights and to which the Company is a party. All
material registered Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks and Domain Names held by the Company are valid, enforceable and subsisting, and the Company is the record owner thereof. All necessary registration, maintenance and renewal fees in connection with
such Company-Owned IP Rights (and Company-Licensed IP Rights in which the Company has a contractual right or obligation to pay registration, maintenance and renewal fees) have been paid and all necessary documents and articles in connection with
such Company IP Rights have been filed with the relevant patent, copyright, trademark or other authorities in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, as the case may be, for the purposes of maintaining such Company-Owned IP Rights (and
Company-Licensed IP Rights in which the Company has a contractual right or obligation to pay registration, maintenance and renewal fees), except for such issuances, registrations or applications that the Company has permitted to expire or has
canceled or abandoned in its reasonable business judgment. 
 (g) The Company owns all right, title and interest in and to all
Company-Owned IP Rights free and clear of any and all Liens.

Company’s Knowledge, there is no material unauthorized use, disclosure, infringement or misappropriation of any Company IP Rights by any third party, including any employee or former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 (i) None of the Company-Owned IP Rights has been adjudicated invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. No Company-Owned
IP Right is subject to any outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, settlement or other disposition of any dispute regarding any Company IP Right.

Property” means the rights associated with or arising out of any of the following: (i) domestic and foreign patents and patent applications, together with all reissuances, divisionals, continuations, continuations-in-part, revisions,
renewals, extensions, and reexaminations thereof, and any identified invention disclosures (“Patents”); (ii) trade secret rights and corresponding rights in confidential information and other non-public information (whether or

invention disclosures, unpatented blueprints, drawings, specifications, designs, plans, proposals and technical data, business and marketing plans, market surveys, market know-how and customer lists and information (“Trade

Closing, be materially complete and accompanied by a complete copy, in the English language, of documentation and other explanatory materials to the extent reasonably needed by a computer programmer possessing ordinary skills and experience to
independently compile, maintain, support and further develop such Proprietary Software, except where the failure to do so would not result in an adverse impact in any material respect upon the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. 
 (m) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.14(m) and other than the original owners or developers of such Proprietary Software, or
any independent contractors engaged by Company or its Subsidiaries, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries has licensed or provided to any Person, or otherwise permitted any Person to access or use, any source code or related materials for any of
the Proprietary Software, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, there are no facts that would give rise to a right on the part of any Person to obtain the release or disclosure of any such source code or related materials. 
 (n) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.14(n), no material open source or public library software (including any version of any
software licensed pursuant to any GNU public license) (“Open Source Software”), was incorporated into or used by any Proprietary Software. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.14(n), the use of such Open Source Software does not
obligate the Company or its Subsidiaries to make available to third parties the source code for such Proprietary Software other than such Open Source Software. 
 (o) Each item of Proprietary Software performs substantially in accordance with its documentation and other written material used in connection with such Proprietary Software and is free of material
defects in programming and operation, is in machine-readable form, is the current version of such Software and includes computer programs, materials, tapes, object and source codes, other written materials, know how and processes related to such

Person of any confidential information of any of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (B) providing the assignment by such Person of any Proprietary Software or related intellectual property arising out of such Person’s employment by,
engagement by or contract with any of the Company and its Subsidiaries. No such Person is in material default or breach of any term of any employment agreement, non-disclosure agreement, and assignment of invention agreement or similar agreement
with any of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.2 shall not constitute an acknowledgment or admission of a breach under this Agreement. 
 4.3 Disclosure Schedules. The Company shall deliver to Parent by no later than 8:00 a.m. Central Time on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date a true and complete schedule of changes (the “Update

hereof but as to which a schedule would have been required hereunder to have been created on or before the date hereof if such changes had existed on the date hereof), which changes are required as a result of events or circumstances occurring
subsequent to the date hereof which would render any representation or warranty inaccurate or incomplete at any time after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, which Update Schedule shall be dated as of the Closing Date (and for

 4.7 Company Unitholder Approval.

 (a) The Company shall cause a special meeting of its Unitholders (the “Company Unitholder Meeting”) to be
duly called and held as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the mailing of the Proxy Statement/Offering Memorandum pursuant to Section 4.7(b)) for the purpose of voting on the

 4.8 Termination and/or Amendment of Certain Employment Agreements. Effective contemporaneously with the Closing, the Company will
terminate and/or amend the employment agreements listed on Schedule 4.8, in the manner contemplated by Schedule 4.8.

recommend, adopt or approve or publicly propose to recommend, adopt or approve an Acquisition Proposal, or take any action or make any statement inconsistent with the Company Recommendation (any of the foregoing in this clause (v), an
“Adverse Recommendation Change”). In addition, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective Agents, will grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class
of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries unless the Company Board shall have determined in good faith that the failure to grant such waiver or release would be inconsistent with its duties to the Unitholders under applicable
Law. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries set forth in this Section 4.9 by any Agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be a breach of
this Section 4.9 by the Company. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective Agents to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with
any Third Party conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the Company, its Subsidiaries and Agents may communicate with any such Third Parties for the purpose of complying with
the next sentence. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Third Party (or its agents or advisors) in possession of confidential information about the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on
behalf of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Agents within the last 12 months in connection with consideration of an Acquisition Proposal to return or destroy all such information. During the term of this Agreement,
subject to Section 4.9(c), neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the Unitholders shall take any actions to make any state takeover statute (including any Delaware state takeover statute) or similar statute inapplicable
to any Acquisition Proposal except upon termination of this Agreement in connection with a Superior Proposal entered into in compliance with this Agreement.

contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from, at any time prior to receipt of the Required Unitholder Approval, but subject to compliance with Section 4.9(d), participating in negotiations or discussions with, or
disclosing any information to, any Third Party that makes after the date hereof an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal in writing, if, prior to taking such action, (i) the Company Board determines in good faith after consulting
with its legal counsel and financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, and (ii) the Company (A) provides Parent with any information to be provided to such Third
Party which Parent has not previously been provided prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party, and (B) has received from such Third Party an executed confidentiality agreement (a
copy of which shall be provided, promptly after its execution, for informational purposes only to Parent), with confidentiality provisions and other restrictive covenants no less favorable to the Company (other than with respect to exclusivity) than
those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement or the Exclusivity and Confidentiality Agreement dated as of August 7, 2009 by and between Parent and the Company, as amended. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.9, but subject to compliance with Section 4.9(d), at

counsel and financial advisors that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its duties to Unitholders under applicable Law, then the Company Board may (i) make an Adverse Recommendation Change and (ii) enter into a definitive
agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal if it concurrently terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(viii). 
 (d) The Board of Managers of the Company shall not take any of the actions referred to in Section 4.9(b) or Section 4.9(c) unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior
written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action, and the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed after taking such action of the status and material terms of any discussions and negotiations with the Third Party. In
addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, or of any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that has stated that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, which
notice shall be provided orally and in writing and shall identify the Third Party making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal or request (including any material changes thereto). The Company shall keep Parent
reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the material status and material details of any such Acquisition Proposal or request (including any material changes thereto) and shall promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours after
receipt) provide to Parent copies of all material correspondence and other written materials sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that describes any such material terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal.

inquiry relating to, or any Third Party indication of interest in, (A) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or over 20% of any class of equity or voting
securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than 20% of the consolidated assets of the Company, (B) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer
that, if

  

 59 

 
consummated, would result in such Third Party beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or
in the aggregate, constitute more than 20% of the consolidated assets of the Company, or (C) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, sale of substantially all the assets, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation,

account all the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement and all the surrounding circumstances (including any governmental and other approval requirements) would result in a transaction (i) that if consummated, is
more favorable to Unitholders from a financial point of view than the Merger (if applicable, as modified by any written proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement (which proposal is in the form of a proposed written amendment to this
Agreement) taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement and all the surrounding circumstances (including any Government and other approval requirements)), (ii) that is reasonably capable of being
completed on the terms proposed, taking into account the identity of the Person making the proposal, any approval requirements and all other financial, legal and other aspects of such proposal and (iii) for which financing, if a cash
transaction (whether in whole or in part), is then fully committed or reasonably determined to be available by the Board of Managers of the Company.

 4.10 Unitholder Litigation. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall promptly notify Parent and give Parent the opportunity to participate, at its sole cost and expense prior to the Closing, in the
defense or settlement of any Action brought by any Unitholder against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no settlement of any such Action shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior
written consent, unless the aggregate amount of such settlement shall be less than $250,000 and the settlement shall not contain any material non-monetary terms.

accountants’ review under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100 of the Company’s interim financial statements for each period for which such statements are required to be included, or are included, in the Closing Registration
Statement or any other filing of Parent with the SEC, including a subsequent events review from the Company’s auditors for the period from December 31, 2008 through September 30, 2009 (the “Revised Financial

accountants to audit the financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.

their respective terms, such that no warrants shall remain outstanding at or following the Effective Time; provided, however, that as it pertains to any warrant issued to HSH Nordbank, AG, New York Branch (the “HSH
Warrants”), the foregoing covenant is expressly conditioned on Parent’s satisfaction of its payment obligations pursuant to Section 5.11. 
 4.14 Takeover Statutes. If any “business combination,” “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other similar anti-takeover statute or
regulation enacted under state or federal Laws in the United States (each a “Takeover Statute”) is or may become applicable to the Merger or any the other transactions contemplated hereby, the Company and the members of the Company
Board will grant such approvals, and will take such other actions as are necessary so that the Merger or any the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby or thereby and
will otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Statute on the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Return for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or any Straddle Period, without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if the effect of such
amended Tax Return is to increase Taxes payable by the Unitholders or Taxes for which the Unitholders are liable.

 (a) The Proxy Statement/Offering Memorandum, in the form delivered to the Unitholders, together with any and
all amendments or supplements thereto (the “Proxy Statement/Offering Memorandum”), shall constitute a disclosure document for the offer and issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in accordance with this Agreement
and a proxy statement for purposes of obtaining approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by the

  

 72 

 
Unitholders. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement/Offering Memorandum, the Company, Parent and Acquisition Subsidiary
shall cooperate in delivering any such amendment or supplement to all Unitholders as promptly as reasonably practicable. 
 (b)
Parent, Acquisition Subsidiary and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuance of Parent Common Stock in the Merger to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, by reason of Rule 506 of
Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or otherwise, and otherwise to comply with all requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws. 
 (c) Parent agrees promptly to advise the Company if, at any time prior to the Closing, to Parent’s knowledge any information relating
to Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary in the Proxy Statement/Offering Memorandum is or becomes incorrect or incomplete in any material respect. The Company agrees promptly to advise the Parent if, at any time prior to the Closing, to the
Company’s Knowledge any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the Proxy Statement/Offering Memorandum is or becomes incorrect or incomplete in any material respect. Such notifying party will take such steps as may be
necessary in order to cause the Proxy Statement/Offering Memorandum, insofar as it relates to such party (or any of its Subsidiaries), to continue to comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act after the
delivery thereof to the Unitholders 
 6.9 Director and Officer Liability. 
 (a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have purchased a six-year tail policy for its officers’ and directors’ liability
insurance with an aggregate premium not in excess of $81,000 and on terms consistent with those in effect for the Company on July 7, 2009 and those set forth in the policies listed on Schedule 6.9 (which policies have been made available
to Parent), and following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to maintain such policy in full force and effect throughout the term of such policy (with no obligation to extend the policy beyond its six-year term), and to
continue to honor its obligations thereunder. 
 (b) Parent and Acquisition Subsidiary agree that all rights to indemnification
or exculpation existing in favor of, and all limitations on the personal liability of, each present and former director, officer, employee, fiduciary and agent of the Company and its Subsidiaries provided for in the respective operating agreement,
charters or by-laws or otherwise in effect as of July 7, 2009 or pursuant to the policies listed on Schedule 6.9 shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time and Parent and
Acquisition Subsidiary shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to perform the same; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claims (each a “Claim”) asserted or made within such
period shall continue until the disposition of such Claim. From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Company also agree to indemnify and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of the Company and its
Subsidiaries in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time to the extent provided in any written indemnification agreements between the Company and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries in effect as of July 7, 2009 or the
policies listed on Schedule 6.9. 
 (c) The obligations under this Section 6.9 shall not be terminated or
modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.9 applies without the prior written consent of each Person affected thereby (it being expressly agreed that the Persons to whom this
Section 6.9 applies, including the present and former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.9 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained
herein). 
  

 73 

 (d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or
assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or Surviving Company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets
to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, assume and have the financial ability to fully perform the
obligations set forth in this Section 6.9. 
 6.10 Blocker Purchase. 
 (a) Subject to Section 6.10(c), immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause a direct wholly owned subsidiary of
Parent to purchase all of the outstanding equity interests (“Blocker Interests”) of the tax blocker entities affiliated with the Persons set forth on Schedule 6.10 (“Blocker Entities”) that are, or will be
prior to the Effective Time, Unitholders of the Company but only insofar as such Blocker Entities do not own in excess of the percentage of Units set forth next to the name of the Persons affiliated with such Blocker Entities as set forth on
Schedule 6.10. Prior to the date hereof, Parent, Company and certain of the Blocker Entities have worked together in good faith to negotiate a form of Blocker Purchase Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (each, a
“Blocker Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which agreement such purchases shall occur. As of the date hereof, certain of the Persons contemplated to be parties thereto have agreed to certain provisions of the Blocker Purchase
Agreements, as reflected in the attached exhibit, but acknowledge and agree that there are additional material provisions of the Blocker Purchase Agreements that remain to be finalized and certain related amendments to this Agreement that will be
required to ensure each of the Company, the Unitholders, the Blocker Owners (as defined below) and Parent are in substantially the same position (after disregarding the effect of the Blocker Entities) as a result of the transactions contemplated by
any Blocker Purchase Agreement that such Person would have been if Parent had acquired all of the Units by virtue of the Merger pursuant to this Agreement (including the escrow arrangements and indemnification rights of the Persons contemplated
hereby), subject, however, to the rights and obligations under the Blocker Purchase Agreements of the Blocker Owners, Parent and the wholly owned subsidiary of Parent that is contemplated to be a party to the Blocker Purchase Agreements. 

(b) During the ten (10) Business Day period following the date hereof, Parent and the Company shall negotiate in good faith
(including with the Blocker Entities and Blocker Owners) and finalize the Blocker Purchase Agreements and any related amendments to this Agreement with the objectives of: 
 (i) ensuring that the corporate mechanics will be treated as sale of the Blocker Interests to a directly wholly owned
subsidiary of Parent for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes and not as sale of the underlying Units held by the Blocker Entities; 
 (ii) ensuring that the Merger will be effectively consummated in accordance with applicable Law and that, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of and fulfillment of the covenants
and agreements by the Blocker Owners in the form of the Blocker Purchase Agreement as finalized pursuant to this Section 6.10, the only detriment to the Parent of consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Blocker Purchase
Agreement is the loss of the Foregone Tax Benefit; 
  

 74 

 (iii) providing reasonable assurances that a holder of Blocker Interest(s)
(a “Blocker Owner”) shall have no greater and no fewer rights or obligations with respect to the transactions, agreements, covenants, indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement than such Blocker Owner would have had if,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Units held by the Blocker Entity had instead been held directly by such Blocker Owner (in proportion to such Blocker Owner’s interest in the Blocker Entity) and been acquired by the Parent by virtue
of the Merger pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the rights or obligations of any Blocker Owner with respect to such Blocker Entity as expressly provided in the Blocker Purchase Agreements; 
 (iv) providing reasonable assurances that each Parent Indemnified Person shall have no greater and no fewer rights or
obligations with respect to the transactions, agreements, covenants, indemnities and other provisions of this Agreement than such Parent Indemnified Person would have had if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Units held by the Blocker
Entity had instead been held directly by such Blocker Owner (in proportion to such Blocker Owner’s interest in the Blocker Entity) and been acquired by the Parent by virtue of the Merger pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall limit the rights or obligations of any Parent Indemnified Person with respect to such Blocker Entity as expressly provided in the Blocker Purchase Agreements; 
 (v) amending this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document as is reasonably necessary or advisable to account for the
fact that, as of the Effective Time, Parent shall be the indirect owner of certain Units as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Blocker Purchase Agreements and that any Units so indirectly owned by Parent as of
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall not be entitled to consideration or any other rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Units and shall be “carved out” of the transactions contemplated hereby and none of the
Parent Indemnified Persons shall have any obligations (including indemnity obligations) with respect to such ownership of those Units or as a Unitholder under this Agreement; and 
 (vi) taking such other actions and reaching such other agreements as are reasonably necessary to assure that, when taken
together, the transactions contemplated by the Blocker Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement equitably reflect the relative rights and obligations of the respective parties (including the rights of the Parent
Indemnified Persons and the Unitholders hereunder) that are otherwise reflected entirely within this Agreement on the date hereof, but for the intention of Parent and its wholly owned subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Blocker Owners, on the other
hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Blocker Purchase Agreements on the terms set forth in this Section 6.10. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 6.10, if a Blocker Owner refuses or otherwise does not enter into a form of Blocker Purchase Agreement on terms which are consistent
with the terms of this Section 6.10, then the Parent shall have no obligation to cause its wholly owned subsidiary to purchase the Blocker Interest owned by such Blocker Owner, and in lieu thereof, the Units owned by the applicable
Blocker Entity shall be acquired by Parent by virtue of the Merger pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 ARTICLE 7 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
 7.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties
and Covenants. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Parties made herein shall survive the Closing and continue in effect until 15 months following the Closing Date;
provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1 (Organization, Qualification and Power), 2.2(a) (Subsidiaries), 2.3 (Capitalization and Related Matters), 2.4(a),
(b) and the first sentence of (e) (Enforceability; Noncontravention; Consents), and 2.32 (Brokers, Finders) shall survive in perpetuity and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.8
(Taxes) and 2.21 (Environmental Matters) shall survive the Closing and continue in effect until 30 days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations with respect to the matters addressed therein (including any extensions or
tollings thereof). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Parent Indemnified Person or Unitholder Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover for any Losses unless such party shall have delivered to the
indemnifying party (and, in the case of any claim by a Parent Indemnified Person, the Representatives) a written notice within the applicable survival period contemplated by this Section 7.1, and if such a notice is given, the survival
period for the claim asserted in such claim notice shall continue until such claim is fully resolved. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all covenants, agreements and obligations made by any Party herein shall continue to be
enforceable in accordance with their terms and, if no specific term is specified, in perpetuity. The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1 (Organization, Qualification and Power), 2.2(a) (Subsidiaries), 2.3
(Capitalization and Related Matters), 2.4(a), (b) and the first sentence of (e) (Enforceability; Noncontravention; Consents) and 2.32 (Brokers, Finders), shall be referred to herein as the “Company
Fundamental Reps.” 
 7.2 Indemnification of Parent. 
 (a) From and after the Closing, pursuant to this Agreement and the Indemnification Escrow Agreement and subject to the limitations contained
in this Article 7, Parent and its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, the Surviving Company) and the present and former directors, officers, partners, employees, successors, assigns, representatives and agents of each of them
in their capacities as such (the “Parent Indemnified Persons”), shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against, any and all claims, losses, judgments, orders, damages, liabilities, expenses or costs including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses (“Losses”) actually incurred by any of them, resulting from or arising out of: 
 (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in Article 2 of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; 
 (ii) any breach by the Company of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
that is to be performed prior to the Merger or was required to have been performed prior to the Merger or any breach by the Representatives of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; 
 (iii) the matters set forth on Schedule 7.2(a)(iii) (the “Scheduled Indemnity Matters”); 

(iv) the Unitholder Transaction Expenses (the “Expenses Indemnity”) (it being acknowledged and agreed
that the Pro Rated Excess Unitholder Transaction Expenses which are paid out of the Preferred Unitholder Initial Cash Payment shall not be deemed Losses of Parent for any purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation for purposes of the
Parent Cap or Parent Special Matters Cap); 
  

 76 

 (v) any continuing indemnification or similar obligation under any
engagement letter with Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs, whether or not such engagement letter shall have been terminated (the “Engagement Letter Indemnification Indemnity”); 
 (vi) any claims (including claims made against the Company, the Surviving Company or their respective directors, officers or
managers) made by current (i.e., those as of the date of this Agreement or those who become such between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date) or former (A) direct or indirect holders of equity interests of the Company (including the
Unitholders and the Blocker Owners) or (B) holders of unit appreciation rights or other rights to acquire equity interests in the Company of any kind or nature whatsoever, in their capacity as a holder of equity interests or holder of any such
rights or any other capacity, in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, and whether arising under any agreement or understanding (other than claims against Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary for breach
of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any of the other agreements executed and delivered by Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary in connection herewith) or otherwise at law or equity, and whether asserted prior to, at or after the
Effective Time (other than claims for which the facts or circumstances giving rise to such claim first occur following Closing) (the “Unitholder Claims”); or 
 (vii) (X) the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Taxes or their liability, if any (for example, by reason of
transferee liability or application of Treasury regulation 1.1502-6) for Taxes of others, including, but not limited to, Unitholders or any Affiliate of any Unitholder, or indemnified Losses payable with respect to Taxes claimed or assessed against
the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (A) for any Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date or as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) for any Tax period resulting from a breach of any of
the representations or warranties or the covenants contained in Sections 2.8 and 6.7 hereof, or (C) for a Tax period of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company ending after the Closing Date arising out of the settlement or
other resolution of a proposed Tax adjustment that relates to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, in each case other than Taxes in the amounts and to the extent reflected in the Balance Sheet, as such reserve is adjusted for the
passage of time through the Closing Date in the Ordinary Course of Business, and in accordance with past custom and practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries in filing their Tax Returns, whether paid or unpaid, and (Y) any Foregone Tax
Benefit in excess of $2,500,000 (collectively, the “Tax Indemnity” and, together with the Scheduled Indemnity Matters, the Expenses Indemnity, the Engagement Letter Indemnification Indemnity and the Unitholder Claims, the
“Special Indemnity Matters”); provided, however, the obligation to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons for any Tax shall be limited to any Tax properly attributable to taxable periods, or portions thereof, ending
on or before the Closing Date; provided, further, that the obligation to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons for any Tax shall not include any employment Taxes payable by the Company with respect to cash retention bonus under the
Cash Bonus Plan. 
 (b) Subject to Section 7.6(d), Section 7.6(g), Section 7.7(b) and
Section 9.7(b), from and after the Closing, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover any indemnified Losses to which they are entitled hereunder in accordance with Section 7.7(f), from the Indemnification
Escrow Account and by exercising its right of setoff against $42,450,000 of any Earnout Consideration otherwise payable (the “Adjustable Earnout Setoff Amount”); provided, however, that to the extent that the Company
shall deliver to Parent, at Closing, Unitholder Releases from Unitholders holding more than

  

 77 

 
50% of the Units (or, in the case of the Blocker Entities, the Unitholder Releases shall be executed by the Blocker Owners and the Units that were held by such Blocker Entities prior to the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Blocker Purchase Agreements shall be deemed to be included in such percentage) (the “Minimum Release Threshold Percentage”), the Adjustable Earnout Setoff Amount shall be reduced
on a pro rata basis between the Minimum Release Threshold Percentage and 100% in the manner contemplated by Schedule 7.2(b) (it being understood that if Releases are executed and delivered by 100% of the Unitholders, the Adjustable Earnout
Setoff Amount shall be zero (0)). None of Parent, the Surviving Company, any other Parent Indemnified Person or any of their respective Affiliates shall have a right to setoff against payment of any Earnout Consideration due to Unitholders under
Article 1 except to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement (including Sections 7.6(d) and 9.7(b)). 
 7.3 Indemnification of the Unitholders. From and after the Closing, pursuant to this Agreement and subject to the limitations contained in this Article 7, Parent shall hold the Unitholders, and the present and former
directors, officers, partners, employees, successors, assigns, representatives and agents of each of them in their capacities as such (the “Unitholder Indemnified Persons”) harmless and indemnify each of them from and against any
and all indemnified Losses incurred or to be incurred by any of them, resulting from or arising out of: 
 (a) any breach of any
representation or warranty made by Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or 
 (b) any breach by Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary of any covenant or agreement of Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including any breach by the Company of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document that is to be performed following the Merger). 
 7.4 Notice of Claim. In the event that Parent seeks indemnification on behalf of a Parent Indemnified Person, or the Representatives or a Unitholder seeks indemnification on behalf of a Unitholder
Indemnified Person, such Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give reasonably prompt written notice in accordance with Section 9.1 to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying
Party”) specifying in reasonable detail the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted; provided, however, that the right of a Person to be indemnified hereunder
shall not be adversely affected by a failure to give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. If the claim for Losses does not arise from a Third Person Claim (which
such claims shall be addressed as specified in Section 7.5 below), the Indemnifying Party shall have 45 days after receipt of notice of such Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party to object to such claim by giving notice to the
Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party has not so objected to the Claim Notice by the close of business on such 45th day, the total amount of the Indemnity Claim shall thereupon become chargeable to and payable by the Indemnifying
Party in accordance with the terms and conditions, and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 7. If the Indemnifying Party objects timely to the Claim Notice and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable to
settle any such dispute, both Persons shall have all rights and remedies at law or in equity subject to the limitations set forth herein, and either the Indemnified Party or any Indemnifying Party may commence an action or proceeding to resolve such
dispute and determine any amounts due hereunder from the Indemnifying Party. 
 For purposes of this Article 7, the
Representatives have the full authority to act on behalf of the Unitholders and the Unitholder Indemnified Persons as either an Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, provided that, as set forth in this Agreement, Parent shall be deemed to
have given notice to all Unitholders pursuant to giving notice to the Representatives. 
  

 78 

 7.5 Right to Contest Claims of Third Persons. 
 (a) If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder because of a claim asserted by any claimant other than an Indemnified
Person hereunder (a “Third Person”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt notice thereof after such assertion is actually known to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the
right of an Indemnified Party to be indemnified hereunder in respect of claims made by a Third Person shall not be adversely affected by a failure to so give such notice unless, and then only to the extent that, an Indemnifying Party is materially
prejudiced thereby. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.5, the Indemnifying Party shall then have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (a “Defense Notice”) within 30 days after receipt from
the Indemnified Party of notice of such claim, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to investigate, contest, or settle the claim alleged by such Third Person (a “Third Person Claim”), provided
that the Indemnifying Party has unconditionally acknowledged to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligation to indemnify the Persons to be indemnified hereunder with respect to such Third Person Claim and to discharge any cost or expense arising
out of such investigation, contest or settlement. The Indemnified Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Person Claim with its own counsel at its own expense. Unless and until the Indemnifying Party so
acknowledges its obligation to indemnify, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter and to look to the Indemnifying Party for the full amount of the reasonable costs of defense. In the
event that the Indemnifying Party shall fail to give the Defense Notice within said 30 day period, (i) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have the control over said defense and settlement of the subject claim, (ii) the Indemnifying
Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnified Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by
counsel of its own choosing, and the Indemnifying Party, if it is required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, will be liable for all costs and settlement amounts paid or incurred in connection therewith. 
 (b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party delivers a Defense Notice with respect to such Third Party Claim within 30 days after receipt
thereof and thereby elects to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have control over said defense and, subject to the provisions set forth below, settlement of the subject claim,
(ii) the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance, personnel and materials as it may reasonably request, and (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have the rights at its expense to
participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing. In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed unless (x) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person; (y) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying
Party and (z) the Indemnified Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third Person Claims effected without its consent, in which cases the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required.

 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.5, the Indemnifying Party shall not be
entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control, including the right to select defense counsel, over the defense or settlement of any claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining
order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, (ii) that involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party, (iii) that, if unsuccessful, (A) would set a precedent that
would materially interfere with, or have a material adverse effect on, the business or financial condition of the Indemnified Party or (B) would reasonably be expected to exceed the Parent Cap, the Parent Special Matters Cap, the Unitholder
Special Matters Cap or the Unitholders’ Cap, as applicable, in any case as mutually

  

 79 

 
determined by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or, if such a determination is not made within 15 days after the date on which the Indemnified Party responds to the Defense Notice
by asserting its rights under this Section 7.5(c), in accordance with its reasonable judgment or (iv) subject to clause (iii)(B) above, that imposes liability on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is
not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In such event, the Indemnifying Party will still be subject to its obligations hereunder but the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 7.6 Limitations on Indemnity.

 (a) The Parent Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to indemnification in respect of indemnified Losses pursuant to
Section 7.2(a)(i) unless and until such indemnified Losses exceed, in the aggregate, the threshold set forth on Schedule 7.6(a)-1 (the “Indemnification Threshold”), but then to the full extent of each such
indemnified Loss that exceeds the De Minimis Threshold (it being understood that any indemnified Loss that is equal to or less than the De Minimis Threshold shall not be deemed to be an indemnifiable Loss or count toward the Indemnification
Threshold). In no event shall Losses that count toward the Special Deductible also count toward the Indemnification Threshold and vice-versa. No claim for indemnification may be asserted in respect of indemnified Losses pursuant to
Section 7.2(a)(i) except to the extent that the dollar value of each such Loss exceeds the threshold set forth on Schedule 7.6(a)-2 (the “De Minimis Threshold”), provided that, for purposes of this
determination, a “claim” will be deemed to arise from a single circumstance or a collection of circumstances based on similar facts that give rise to a single claim or cause of action, whether or not such cause of action is pursued in any
court proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Indemnification Threshold limitation nor the De Minimis Threshold limitation shall apply in any manner whatsoever to any breach of the Company Fundamental Reps
or in instances of willful breach, fraud or intentional misrepresentation by such Party. 
 (b) The Parent Indemnified Persons
shall not be entitled to indemnification in respect of indemnified Losses related to the Special Indemnity Matters under Sections 7.2(a)(iii), 7.2(a)(iv), 7.2(a)(v) or 7.2(a)(vi) unless and until such indemnified Losses
exceed, in the aggregate, the threshold set forth on Schedule 7.6(b) (the “Special Deductible”) and then only to the extent of any such excess. All Unitholder Transaction Expenses paid by Parent at Closing pursuant to
Section 1.11 shall be counted toward the Special Deductible and, if such Unitholder Transaction Expenses paid by Parent at Closing are equal to or in excess of the Special Deductible (which, for the avoidance of doubt, they shall be if
there shall exist any Pro Rated Excess Unitholder Transaction Expenses), shall fully satisfy the Special Deductible. In no event shall Losses related to the Special Indemnity Matters that count against the Special Deductible also count toward the
Indemnification Threshold and vice-versa. 
 (c) Parent shall have no obligation to indemnify Unitholder Indemnified Persons in
respect of indemnified Losses pursuant to Section 7.3(a) unless such indemnified Losses exceed, in the aggregate, the Indemnification Threshold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnification Threshold
limitation shall not apply in any manner whatsoever to any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.1 (Organization; Qualification and Power; Enforceability; Noncontravention), 3.2 (Capitalization and Related
Matters) or 3.5 (Brokers; Finders) (the “Parent Fundamental Reps”) or in instances of willful breach, fraud or intentional misrepresentation by such Party. 
 (d) The aggregate amount of Losses that may be recovered by the Parent Indemnified Persons from and after the Closing (i) under
Section 7.2(a)(i) for any matter other than a breach of a Company Fundamental Rep or Section 2.9(a) shall not exceed the Indemnification Escrow

  

 80 

 
Amount (the “Parent Cap”) or (ii) under Section 7.2(a)(i) with respect to a breach of a Company Fundamental Rep or Section 2.9(a), or pursuant to
Section 7.2(a)(iii), 7.2(a)(iv), 7.2(a)(v), 7.2(a)(vi) or 7.2(a)(vii) in respect of a Special Indemnity Matter (each a “Parent Cap Carveout Matter”) shall not exceed the Parent Cap plus the
Adjustable Earnout Setoff Amount (as such Adjustable Earnout Setoff Amount may be reduced in accordance with Section 7.2(b)) (the “Parent Special Matters Cap”). For purposes of clarity, any Losses recovered by a Parent
Indemnified Person in respect of the matters subject to the Parent Cap shall count toward the Parent Special Matters Cap but Losses that count toward the Parent Special Matters Cap shall not count toward the Parent Cap. Notwithstanding the first
sentence of this Section 7.6(d), neither the Parent Cap nor the Parent Special Matters Cap shall apply in instances of willful breach, fraud or intentional misrepresentation. In addition, neither the Parent Cap nor the Parent Special
Matters Cap shall apply to indemnification rights under or pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii), and it is agreed that the Parent Indemnified Persons shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to any Parent
Indemnified Person (including Parent) under the terms of this Agreement, to set-off against the Earnout Consideration in full with respect to such indemnification rights. 
 (e) The aggregate amount of indemnified Losses that may be recovered by the Unitholder Indemnified Persons from and after the Closing (i) under Section 7.3(a) for any matter other than a
breach of a Parent Fundamental Rep shall not exceed the amount set forth on Schedule 7.6(e) (the “Unitholder Cap”) or (ii) under Section 7.3(a) with respect to a breach of a Parent Fundamental Rep (a
“Unitholder Cap Carveout Matter”) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Unitholder Cap plus the Adjustable Earnout Setoff Amount (the “Unitholder Special Matters Cap”). For purposes of clarity, any Losses
recovered by a Unitholder Indemnified Person in respect of the matters subject to the Unitholder Cap shall count toward the Unitholder Special Matters Cap but Losses that count toward the Unitholder Special Matters Cap shall not count toward the
Unitholder Cap. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 7.6(e), neither the Unitholder Cap nor the Unitholder Special Matters Cap shall apply to the obligations of any Party hereto in instances of willful breach, fraud or
intentional misrepresentation by such Party. In addition, neither the Unitholder Cap nor the Unitholder Special Matters Cap shall apply to indemnification rights under or pursuant to Section 7.3(b). 
 (f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons in respect
of the Special Indemnity Matters pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii), 7.2(a)(iv), 7.2(a)(v) and 7.2(a)(vi) shall expire and be of no further force and effect on the date that is 36 months following the Closing Date and
the obligations to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons in respect of the Special Indemnity Matters pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(vii) shall expire and be of no further force and effect on the date that is 30 days after the expiration
of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the matters addressed therein (including any extensions or tollings thereof). 
 (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the rights of Parent as contained in Section 1.12(c), Section 7.6(d) or Section 9.7(b), from and after the Closing the
Parent Indemnified Persons shall first recover any Losses from the Indemnification Escrow Account before exercising their right of setoff (only up to the amount of the Adjustable Earnout Setoff Amount, if any, except as otherwise set forth in this
Agreement, including in Section 1.12(c), Section 7.6(d) or Section 9.7(b)) against the Earnout Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement or making any claim for Losses against any Unitholder individually on
a several, not joint, basis. 
 7.7 Additional Indemnification Matters. 
 (a) For all Tax purposes, all indemnification payments under this Article 7 shall be treated by the Parties as adjustments to the
Merger Consideration to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
  

 81 

 (b) For all purposes hereunder, from and after the Closing a Parent Indemnified Person shall
be permitted to claim for indemnification for only (i) 92.166% of any Parent Indemnified Person’s Losses, until the aggregate amount of indemnified Losses paid to the Parent Indemnified Persons under this Article 7 and the
Indemnification Escrow Agreement shall equal the Indemnification Escrow Amount and (ii) 100% of any Parent Indemnified Person Losses in excess thereof; provided, however, that, prior to this clause (ii) taking effect, 7.834%
of any Parent Indemnified Person’s indemnified Losses referenced in the foregoing clause (i) shall be recovered by Parent on behalf of such Parent Indemnified Person in accordance with the Cash Bonus Plan. By way of illustrative example,
if a Parent Indemnified Person suffers an indemnifiable Loss of $10,000,000 for which it desires to seek indemnification pursuant to any section of this Article 7, the amount for which it shall be permitted to make a claim for indemnification
is $9,216,600. However, if the Parent Indemnified Persons suffer indemnifiable Losses, in the aggregate, of $32,551,000, the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which they shall be entitled to recover under this Article 7 and the
Indemnification Escrow Agreement shall equal $30,001,000 (it being understood that an additional $2,550,000 of indemnifiable Losses shall be recovered by Parent on behalf of Parent Indemnified Person in accordance with the Cash Bonus Plan).

 (c) A Parent Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 7 for any Losses in
respect of the first matter listed on Schedule 7.2(a)(iii) only to the extent that such Losses exceed the amount described on Schedule 7.7(c). 
 (d) No information or knowledge acquired, or investigations conducted, by Parent or its representatives, of the Company or otherwise, shall in any way limit, or constitute a waiver of, or a defense to,
any claim for indemnification by Parent or any Parent Indemnified Person under this Agreement. No information or knowledge acquired, or investigations conducted, by the Company, any of the Unitholders or their respective representatives, of Parent
or otherwise, shall in any way limit, or constitute a waiver of, or a defense to, any claim for indemnification by the Unitholders or any Unitholder Indemnified Person under this Agreement. 
 (e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall
give rise to any right on the part of a Parent Indemnified Person, Unitholder Indemnified Person or any other party or third party beneficiary hereto, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to rescind this Agreement or any
of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (f) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided to any Parent
Indemnified Person under this Article 7 shall, from and after the Closing, be net of any amounts actually recovered under insurance policies maintained by the Company in effect immediately prior to Closing and applicable to such Losses, net
of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the Parent Indemnified Person in obtaining such recovery. Parent will use its commercially reasonably efforts to promptly seek full recovery under the insurance policies referenced in the
foregoing sentence; provided, however, that the Parent Indemnified Person (including Parent) shall have no obligation to first submit or to collect upon any applicable insurance coverage as a precondition to making a claim for
indemnification hereunder or obtaining indemnification for Losses therefor, and the Parties hereto agree, without limiting any other rights any Indemnifying Party may have against Parent, not to delay in any manner the payment to Parent or any
Parent Indemnified Person of such indemnification based on Parent’s non-fulfillment of the foregoing obligation at the time any such claim is made. To the extent that any insurance payment is actually recovered by a Parent Indemnified Person
after the related indemnification payment has been made pursuant to this Agreement; the Parent Indemnified Person will pay over to the Indemnification Escrow Agent (to the extent that (a) amounts have been paid to Parent out of the
Indemnification Escrow Account and (b) the Indemnification Escrow Agreement remains in effect) or to the Exchange Agent (or, if the Exchange Agent is no longer engaged, to the Representatives) for distribution to the applicable

  

 82 

 
Unitholders (in any other circumstance) the amounts of such insurance payments promptly after they are actually recovered. If permitted under the terms of the applicable insurance policies, in
lieu of the foregoing, the Parent Indemnified Person may subrogate or assign its rights to recover under such insurance policies to the Representatives (on behalf of the Unitholders) or their designee. 
 (g) Except for Losses related to Special Indemnity Matters and indemnification under or pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) (to which
this Section 7.7(g) does not apply), from and after the Closing, the Loss of a Parent Indemnified Person for breach of representations and warranties of the Company pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) shall be net of any reserves
established on the Balance Sheet in respect of the matter to which the Loss relates. 
 (h) In the absence of willful breach,
fraud or intentional misrepresentation, under no circumstance shall any Parent Indemnified Person or Unitholder Indemnified Person be entitled to indemnification for any punitive or exemplary damages unless any of the foregoing is actually paid to a
third party. 
 (i) Any Loss for which any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article 7 shall be
determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Loss constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement but nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict the ability of
the Indemnified Party to select the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement upon which to base the Indemnified Party’s claim. 
 (j) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or elsewhere to the contrary, and except for the materiality qualification in Section 2.17(a), all “material” or similar materiality
type qualifications (including “Company Material Adverse Effect” and “Company Material Adverse Change”) contained in the representations and warranties (or definitions used in the representations and warranties) set forth in
Article 2 of this Agreement shall be ignored and not given any effect for purposes of the indemnification provisions hereof, including, without limitation, for purposes of determining whether or not a breach of a representation or warranty
has occurred, determining whether the thresholds in Section 7.6 have been surpassed and/or determining the amount of any indemnifiable Losses; provided, however, that the terms “Material Contracts” and
“Material Permits” shall have the meaning ascribed to that term as set forth therein without effect of this Section 7.7(j). 
 (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to Sections 7.2(b), 7.6(d), 7.6(g) and 9.7(b), Parent shall be entitled to set-off against payment of
any Earnout Consideration due to any Unitholders under Section 1.12 hereof any amount payable (to the extent permitted under Section 1.12, Section 7.2(b), Section 7.6(d), Section 7.6(g) or
Section 9.7(b) hereof) to any Parent Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided for in or contemplated by Section 9.7(b), Parent shall not be entitled to set-off in
excess of the Adjustable Earnout Setoff Amount with respect to those indemnification rights of Parent Indemnified Persons that are subject to the Parent Special Matters Cap (it being understood that if the Adjustable Earnout Setoff Amount is zero
(0), none of Parent, the Surviving Company, any other Parent Indemnified Person or any of their respective Affiliates shall have a right to set-off against payment of any Earnout Consideration due to Unitholders under Article 1, except as
provided for in or contemplated by Section 9.7(b), with respect to those indemnification rights of Parent Indemnified Persons that are subject to the Parent Special Matters Cap). 
  

 83 

 ARTICLE 8 
 TERMINATION 
 8.1 Termination. 
 (a) This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time only
as follows, whether before or after the Required Unitholder Approval has been obtained: 
 (i) by mutual consent
of the Company and Parent (on behalf of itself and Acquisition Subsidiary); 
 (ii) by either the Company or
Parent (on behalf of itself and Acquisition Subsidiary) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2009 (the “Drop Dead Date”); provided that no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this clause (ii) if such Party’s failure to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement shall be the primary reason for the failure of the Closing to occur on or before said date; provided, further, that if any
Government authority or applicable Law requires the Company and Parent to postpone the Closing Date in order to obtain a consent or approval (which is required prior to the consummation of the Merger) from such Government authority, or any waiting
period under any applicable Antitrust Law has not expired or been terminated, such date shall automatically be extended to such date as required by such Government authority or as of which such waiting period has expired or been terminated (which
shall be in no event later than January 31, 2010); 
 (iii) by either the Company or Parent, at any time
after the Company Unitholder Meeting, if the Company has not obtained the Required Unitholder Approval by such time; 
 (iv) by Parent, at any time after the Company Unitholder Meeting, if the Company has not obtained the Company Unitholder Approval by such time; 
 (v) by either the Company or Parent, if any Government authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (including
the failure to have taken an action) which, in either such case, has become final and non-appealable and makes consummation of the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibits consummation of the Merger (a “Governmental Order”);

 (vi) by Parent, if (A) an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred or the Company Board
authorizes the Company to enter into a definitive agreement concerning a Superior Proposal or (B) the Company Board shall have failed to publicly confirm the Company Recommendation within five (5) Business Days of a written request by
Parent that it do so; 
 (vii) by Parent if the Company shall have materially breached any of its obligations
under Section 4.9 such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) would be incapable of being satisfied; 
 (viii) by the Company, if the Company Board authorizes the Company, subject to complying with the terms of this Agreement, to enter into a definitive agreement concerning a Superior Proposal;
provided, however, that (x) the Company shall have paid any amounts due pursuant to Section 9.6(b) in accordance with the terms, and at the times, specified therein and (y)

  

 84 

 
this Agreement may be terminated on this basis only at a time that is after 5:00 p.m. Central time on the fifth (5th) Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company that the Company Board is
prepared to take such action, and at the end of such period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal
relative to the Merger, as supplemented by any Counterproposal (defined below) that Parent has submitted to the Company. Any such written notice shall attach the most current version of such agreement (or a description of all material terms and
conditions thereof), and state that the Company Board otherwise intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change (subject to compliance with this Agreement), and/or to terminate this Agreement and to enter into a binding written agreement concerning
an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal. During any such five (5) Business Day period, Parent shall be entitled to deliver to the Company a counterproposal to such Acquisition Proposal (a “Counterproposal”)
and Parent and the Company shall negotiate in good faith in respect of any such Counterproposal (it being understood that the Company may not terminate this Agreement or enter into any such binding agreement during such five (5) Business Day
period, and that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company and an additional three (3) Business Day period); 
 (ix) by Parent if (A) there shall have been a breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Company set
forth in this Agreement, or (B) there shall have been a breach by the Company or any of the Representatives of any of its covenants or agreements hereunder, such that, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), the conditions set forth in
Section 6.3(a) would be incapable of being satisfied by the Drop Dead Date and Parent has provided the Company with detailed written notice of such circumstance not less then 15 days prior to terminating the Agreement pursuant to this
provision (except that such 15 day period shall be decreased to a period equal to the number of days, if any, prior to the Drop Dead Date if there are not 15 days remaining prior to the Drop Dead Date at the time of the delivery of such written
notice, and it being agreed that the Parent shall be entitled to exercise its termination rights under this Section 8.1(a)(ix) on the Drop Dead Date in any case if there shall have been a Company Material Adverse Effect), provided
that, with respect to clauses (A) and (B) above, Parent has not materially breached any of its obligations hereunder and failed to timely cure such breach; or 
 (x) by the Company if (A) there shall have been a breach of any representation or warranty on the part of Parent or
Acquisition Subsidiary set forth in this Agreement, or (B) there shall have been a breach by Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary of any of their respective covenants or agreements hereunder, such, that in the case of either clause (A) or (B),
the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) would be incapable of being satisfied by the Drop Dead Date and the Company has provided Parent with detailed written notice of such circumstance not less then 15 days prior to terminating the
Agreement pursuant to this provision, provided that, with respect to clauses (A) and (B) above, the Company has not materially breached any of its obligations hereunder and failed to timely cure such breach. 
 The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding clauses (ii) through (xi) shall give written notice of such termination
to the other party in accordance with Section 9.1 below. 
 (b) Effect of Termination. In the event of
termination pursuant to this Article 8, the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by the Parties hereto and this Agreement shall terminate, and there shall be no liability under this Agreement on the
part of any Party hereto, except as set forth in the last sentence of Section 4.4(a) and in Sections 6.5, 8.1 and 9.6 hereof,

  

 85 

 
which provisions shall remain in full force and effect. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to redeliver all documents,
work papers and other material (including any copies thereof) of any other Party relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether obtained before or after the execution hereof, to the Party furnishing the same. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall relieve any party from any liability for any willful inaccuracy, willful misrepresentation or willful breach of this Agreement or any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein prior to termination.

Transaction Documents and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings
relative to such subject matter. 
 9.3 Assignment; Binding Agreement. This Agreement and the various rights and
obligations arising hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, devisees, legatees, legal representatives and permitted assigns (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,

(by operation of Law or otherwise) by Parent without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or by the Representatives or the Company without the prior written consent of Parent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Parent shall have the right to transfer and assign its and Acquisition Subsidiary’s rights hereunder to any entity which is controlled by Parent. 
 9.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures may be transmitted by facsimile, pdf, email or similar form of electronic transmission.

 9.5 Headings; Interpretation. The Article and Section headings contained in this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of the Agreement. Each reference in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit, unless otherwise indicated, shall mean an
Article or a Section of this Agreement or a Schedule or Exhibit attached to this Agreement, respectively. References herein to “days,” unless otherwise indicated, are to consecutive calendar days. Each Party hereto has participated
substantially in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and each Party agrees that any ambiguity herein should not be construed against the draftsman. Whenever required by the context, any gender shall include any other gender, the singular
shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” shall mean and include an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a limited liability company, a trust,
an association, an unincorporated organization, a Government authority and any other entity and “Affiliate” of a Person shall mean any other Person who directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with, such Person. For purposes of this Agreement, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words
“without limitation.” 
 9.6 Expenses. 
 (a) Parent shall pay the fees and expenses of its and Acquisition Subsidiary’s counsel, accountants, experts, other representative and
all other expenses incurred by any of them incident or relating to the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and the performance by it of its obligations hereunder. All Unitholder
Transaction Expenses shall be paid pursuant to Section 1.11 if the Closing shall occur or by the Company if this Agreement is terminated. 
 (b) If a Payment Event occurs pursuant to clause (w) in the definition of Payment Event below, the Company shall pay Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) a fee in an amount equal
to $10,000,000 less the amount of fees and expenses of Parent previously reimbursed by the Company pursuant to this Section 9.6(b). If a Payment Event occurs pursuant to clause (x) in the definition of Payment Event below, the
Company shall pay Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) a fee equal to $10,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”). If a Payment Event occurs pursuant to clause (y) in the definition of Payment Event below, the
Company shall (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), reimburse Parent for all of its documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of Parent (or its Affiliates) in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, financing costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of lawyers, accountants, consultants, financial advisors and investment bankers up to an aggregate maximum of $2,000,000. If a
Payment Event occurs pursuant to clause (z) in the definition of Payment Event below, the Company shall (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), reimburse Parent for all of its documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually
incurred by or on behalf of Parent (or its Affiliates) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, financing costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of lawyers, accountants,
consultants, financial advisors and investment bankers up to an aggregate maximum of $1,000,000 and pay Parent the Termination Fee. As used in this Agreement, “Payment Event” means the termination of this Agreement pursuant to
(w) Section 8.1(a)(iii) if, within twelve (12) months following the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, a Qualifying Acquisition Proposal,
(x) Section 8.1(a)(vii), (y) Sections 8.1(a)(iii), 8.1(a)(iv) or 8.1(a)(ix) or (z) Sections 8.1(a)(vi) or 8.1(a)(viii). Any payment pursuant to this Section 9.6(b) shall be
made within two (2) Business Days of the occurrence of the Payment Event if

  

 88 

 
Parent shall have terminated this Agreement or simultaneously with the occurrence of such Payment Event if the Company shall have terminated this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Qualifying Acquisition Proposal” means, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any offer, proposal or inquiry relating to, or any Third Party indication of interest in, (A) any acquisition or purchase,
direct or indirect, of 40% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or over 40% of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate,
constitute more than 40% of the consolidated assets of the Company, (B) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in such Third Party beneficially owning 40% or more of any class of
equity or voting securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than 40% of the consolidated assets of the Company, or (C) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business
combination, sale of substantially all the assets, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute
more than 40% of the consolidated assets of the Company. 
 (c) The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this
Section 9.6 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Parent and Acquisition Subsidiary would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to
pay any amount due to Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 9.6, it shall also pay any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary in connection with a
legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment against the Company for such amount, together with interest on any amount of the Termination Fee at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal)
in effect on the date such payment should have been made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any termination (or attempted termination) of this Agreement
in circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable in accordance with Section 9.6(b), the payment by the Company to Parent of the Termination Fee (and, where applicable, the reimbursement by the Company of expenses as contemplated by
Section 9.6(b) in addition to payment of the Termination Fee) shall constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which Parent would otherwise be entitled to assert against the Company or any of
the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets, or against any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, or unitholders, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and
shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that, in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages with respect to the foregoing upon any termination of
this Agreement in circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable in accordance with Section 9.6(b), the rights to payment under Section 9.6(b): (i) constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be
suffered by reason of any actual termination of this Agreement and (ii) shall be in full and complete satisfaction of any and all damages arising as a result of the foregoing. 
 9.7 Remedies. 
 (a) Prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement (including the right to seek specific performance) are cumulative and without prejudice to any other
rights or remedies under Law. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that either Parent, on the
one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, without the posting of any bond, to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof
in any court specified in Section 9.10, in addition to any other remedy

  

 89 

 
to which it is entitled under this Agreement; provided, however, that if, following a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(viii) and the related
payment of the Termination Fee and reimbursement of expenses under Section 9.6(b), Parent files a lawsuit purporting to challenge the validity of such termination and purporting to seek specific performance of the Company’s
obligation to consummate the Merger, Parent shall, prior to filing any such lawsuit, return to the Company all amounts previously paid under Section 9.6(b) together with interest on the amount so returned at a rate per annum equal to the
prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) in effect on the date such payment was originally made for the period between Parent’s receipt of such amounts and the Company’s receipt of such amounts when returned. Nothing in this
Section 9.7(a) (including, without limitation, the proviso to the preceding sentence) is intended to, or shall be interpreted as, amending, modifying or superseding the provisions of Section 9.6(c) such that, in the event of
a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to which the Termination Fee (and, where applicable, the reimbursement by the Company of expenses as contemplated by Section 9.6(b) in addition to payment of the Termination Fee) is payable
under Section 9.6(b), the payment of the Termination Fee (and, where applicable, the reimbursement by the Company of expenses as contemplated by Section 9.6(b) in addition to payment of the Termination Fee) shall constitute
liquidated damages. 
 (b) From and after the Effective Time, the rights of the Parent Indemnified Persons and the Unitholder
Indemnified Persons to indemnification relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be strictly limited to those contained in Article 7, and such indemnification rights shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of
the Parent Indemnified Persons and the Unitholder Indemnified Persons, as applicable, subsequent to the Effective Time with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith except that the foregoing shall
not limit any rights in instances of fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Closing, in instances of willful breach, fraud or intentional
misrepresentation, then Parent shall be entitled to any and all remedies at law or in equity, including without limitation rights of setoff against the Earnout Consideration or otherwise. 
 9.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the
State of Delaware, without reference to its choice of law rules. 
 9.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH
PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 9.9. 
 9.10 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to
this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by a Party hereto or its successors or assigns may be brought and determined in the state courts located in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware,
County of New Castle State of 
  

 90 

 
Delaware, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim, or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement,
(a) any claim that a Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named court for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 9.10, (b) that it or its property is

 Schedule 1.12(a) 
 EARNOUT CALCULATION SCHEDULE 
  

	 	1.	During the Earnout Period, the methodology described below under Schedule 1.12(i) shall be utilized by Parent and the Surviving Company in respect of the Earnout and
the potential achievement of the Maximum Earnout Target. Upon the termination of the Earnout Period, the Earnout Statement to be delivered by Parent under Section 1.12(b) shall state the Aggregate Qualified Adjusted MWs of Financially Closed
Projects (as defined below) and, subject to the provisions of Section 1.12, Parent shall pay the Unitholders the consideration specified in paragraph (ii) below in accordance with the terms of Section 1.12. 

 

	 	2.	Subject to Section 1.12(c) for pending claims and Parent’s setoff rights under Section 7.7(k) in order to satisfy Parent’s right to receive
indemnification, notwithstanding the term of the Earnout Period, within fifteen (15) Business Days following the achievement of 80MWs of Aggregate Qualified Adjusted MWs of Financially Closed Projects, Parent shall cause the early payment of
the Earnout Consideration to be paid to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 1.12 for distribution to the Unitholders pursuant to Section 1.12. As used herein, Early Payment means the lesser of (i) $[*] or (ii) an amount
equal to the greater of (x) $[*] minus the Adjustable Earnout Setoff Amount or (y) $0. To the extent that all or a part of any such Early Payment is delayed by the operation of Section 7.7(k) but not actually used for such
set-off purposes during the Earnout Period, it shall be released as part of the Earnout consideration at the end of the Earnout Period in accordance with section 1.12. 

  

	 	3.	On a monthly basis the Surviving Company financial, planning and analysis team will present to the CEO of Parent, with a copy to the Representatives, the information
required to be provided under Schedule 5.10 and the cumulative qualified MWs completed and a quarterly forecast for the remainder of the year. The Parent CEO and president of the Surviving Company will as part of a monthly meeting ensure that the
Earnout execution and Parent’s goals are aligned, with any material deviation to be subject to the prior written consent of the Representatives. In furtherance of the foregoing, by mutual written agreement, Parent and the Representatives may
agree to amend the Earnout methodology contained in this Schedule 1.12 as necessary or advisable as long as it is for the benefit of the combined business and it is not unfair to the recipients of the Earnout Consideration. 

 

	 	4.	Pursuant to the Surviving Company’s efforts to achieve the Maximum Earnout Target, Parent and Surviving Company shall develop a mutually approved rolling quarterly
module supply roadmap (the “Module Supply Plan”), describing what modules, and at what prices, Surviving Company can obtain modules that include Parent wafers. The Module Supply Plan shall be dated as of Closing Date and
updated on no less than a quarterly basis. The Representatives shall receive a copy of the Module Supply Plan and such updates as they are developed. 

  

	 	5.	 In the event (x) Parent and/or a third-party module company described in the Module Supply Plan are unable to deliver such modules on the terms
and conditions (including, without limitation, price, warranty, efficiency, regulatory and technology approval) provided for in the Module Supply Plan or (y) Parent does not timely provide such Module Supply Plan, then Surviving Company may
purchase modules not in conformity

  

 2 

	 	 
with the Module Supply Plan (in all other situations, Surviving Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase modules in conformity with the Module Supply Plan).

  

	 	6.	In the event a solar development project requires modules that are not viable from a third-party module company utilizing Miyagi wafers (including, without limitation,
due to technological, cost, permitting or other reasons), Surviving Company may purchase modules not in conformity with the Module Supply Plan 

  

	 	7.	If a project is not completed on a timely basis, or if the cost of such project is increased due to a failure of Parent to abide by the Module Supply Plan, such project
shall be deemed to have achieved a GPM of [*]% or IRR of [*]%, as applicable, for such Development MWs (as defined in Schedule 1.12(i), sub-sections II(a) and III(a) below) (the “Automatic MW Qualification”);
provided, however, that in no event shall the failure of a third party supplier to meet its commitments to Parent or Surviving Company under the agreed upon Module Supply Plan trigger the deemed completion of such a project unless such
failure is attributable in whole or in substantial part to the actions or inactions of Parent. 

 Section 1.12(i) 
 The Unitholders of the Surviving Company shall be entitled to an Earnout based on
the Aggregate Qualified Adjusted MWs of Financially Closed Projects if the Aggregate Qualified Adjusted MWs exceed the thresholds set forth in Section 1.12(ii). The Aggregate Qualified Adjusted MWs of Financially Closed Projects shall be equal
to the sum of (i) the Development MWs (and the Revised Development MWs, if applicable) achieved during the Earnout Period that satisfy either the GPM Test or IRR Test, as defined below and (ii) the Automatic MW Qualification (as defined in
paragraph 7 above). 
  

	 	I.	Earnout calculation generally; Definitions 

  

	 	a.	“Development MW” shall mean the MWs of nameplate capacity, DC, for solar photovoltaic projects where: 

  

	 	i.	The Surviving Company directly develops a project 

  

	 	ii.	The Surviving Company develops a project through its channel partner program in the U.S. if the Surviving Company facilitates the provision of the modules for
installation by the channel partner 

  

	 	iii.	The Surviving Company installs projects through a joint venture (e.g., SkyPower) and the Surviving Company, directly or indirectly through a subsidiary, is the general,
prime or sub-contractor engineering, procurement and construction provider 

  

	 	iv.	100% of international joint venture or licensing structures (e.g., the Sun IS Solar Energy Ltd. joint venture, the “Israel JV”)) if the
Surviving Company facilitates the provision of modules for installations 

  

	 	b.	A Development MW shall be determined as of the Financial Close for a project: 

  

	 	i.	“Financial Close” shall mean: 

  

	 	1.	 The full, or partial in the event of a staged-project, financial closing pursuant to a project finance transaction (e.g., sale-leaseback;

  

 3 

	 	 
cash-sale; partnership flip; term debt facility (whether system is kept on our books or sold)) occurring after January 1, 2010 and on or prior to December 31, 2010

  

	 	2.	A Development MW shall also count for the purpose of this earnout in the event such Financial Close occurs in January 2011, but only to the extent of the percentage of
installation completion for such project as of 12/31/2010 

  

	 	a.	For the avoidance of doubt, a project will be deemed fully completed when a final building permit from the municipality, or comparable permit, is obtained

  

	 	ii.	A project that includes both a partial sale and a build and hold component (i.e., where a portion, but not all, of the equity is sold to a third-party and where the
decision to hold the project on the company’s balance sheet was part of the project plan) shall be divided between the GPM Test and IRR Test below based on the percentage of such project sold and/or retained by Surviving Company

  

	 	c.	Module costs 

  

	 	i.	For the purpose of the GPM Test and IRR Test below (and other than with respect to projects developed pursuant to Section IV below), a photovoltaic module will be
priced at $[*] per watt. 

  

	 	1.	For the purposes of calculating the GPM Test or IRR test, when projects are outside the U.S., the $[*] per watt module cost shall be converted into the
applicable currency at the exchange rate as of the signing date of the Agreement, as published in the Wall Street Journal. 

  

	 	ii.	Surviving Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain modules in a manner consistent with the Module Supply Plan (as provided in Schedule 1.12)

  

	 	d.	“Earnout Adjustment” 

  

	 	i.	Notwithstanding the GPM Test of [*]% and IRR Test of [*]%, to the extent the GPM Test or IRR Test (as defined below) yield a result less than [*]%
and [*]%, respectively (but not less than [*]% and [*]%, respectively), the Development MWs, that are included in the Aggregate Qualified Adjusted MWs of Financially Closed Projects shall be calculated pursuant to the following
formula: 

  

	 	1.	For the GPM Test: Development MWs-[(1-(Actual GPM/[*]%)) * [*] * Development MWs] = the “Revised Development MWs”

  

	 	2.	For the IRR Test: Development MWs-[1-(Actual IRR/[*]%)) * [*] * Development MWs] = the “Revised Development MWs”

  

	 	3.	E.g., assuming 150MW at a [*]% GM achieved, would result in: 150 – [(1-([*]/[*])) * [*] * 150 = [*]MW 

 

 4 

	 	II.	Gross margin calculation (the “GPM MWs”) 

  

	 	a.	The “GPM Test”: The cumulative number of Development MWs that in the aggregate achieve a GPM of => [*]% 

  

	 	b.	Development MWs subject to the GPM Test shall include any project sold in a cash-sale, or sale-leaseback transaction, to a third-party (collectively,
“Project Sales”) 

  

	 	c.	“GPM” = Development Margin / Sale Proceeds 

  

	 	i.	“Development Margin” is the difference between the Sale Proceeds and the COGS 

  

	 	1.	Development Margin shall also include: 

  

	 	a.	License fees from Israel JV and similar JV (with less than 50% Surviving Company control)/license fee structures (this royalty amount would go into the numerator of the
GPM calculation) 

  

	 	b.	The amount by which actual Surviving Company 2010 SG&A is more than or less than $[*], as a downward or upward adjustment, respectively; provided,
however, that the $[*] SG&A amount for the purpose herein shall be adjusted accordingly due to capitalization decisions or accounting changes that differ from Surviving Company’s 2010 Business Plan; and provided further
that this clause (b) shall not have the effect of reducing the Development Margin unless the Representatives have agreed that such reduction is consistent with achieving the Maximum Earnout Target 

  

	 	c.	The sale, if any, in calendar year 2010, of the residual value of 2010 development projects otherwise deemed Project Sales 

  

	 	ii.	“COGS” is the direct cost of project construction, and shall include only modules, inverters, balance of system costs, permit costs, contractor
costs and external commissions; provided, however, that for any and all costs that should be included in a Surviving Company-only profit and loss statement, such costs must be either SG&A or COGS, with no exceptions. 

  

	 	iii.	“Sale Proceeds” is the sum of (i) gross purchase price as described in the bill of sale or similar agreement contracted to Surviving
Company for Project Sales, (ii) the proceeds from the sale of any retained interest in the project that is not otherwise included in clause (i), and (iii) the proceeds from any rebates, grants or other similar revenue not transferred in
the bill of sale or similar agreement referred to in clause (i)

  

	 	III.	Internal rate of return calculation (the “IRR MWs”). 

  

	 	a.	The “IRR Test”: the cumulative number of Development MWs that in the aggregate meet an IRR => [*]% 

  

	 	b.	 Development MWs subject to the IRR MWs shall include any project not sold to a third-party and kept either on Surviving Company’s balance sheet or
as part of a Surviving Company equity fund or other financial structure in lieu of a third-party sale (collectively, “Retained Projects”); for the avoidance of doubt, (i) any

  

 5 

	 	 
projects not constituting Project Sales shall be considered Retained Projects and (ii) the decision to hold the project on the company’s balance sheet was part of the project plan.

  

	 	c.	“IRR” = a solar project’s levered pre-tax cash internal rate of return on equity: 

  

	 	i.	Measured at the time of Financial Close, based on a baseline pro forma model using commercially reasonable assumptions 

  

	 	ii.	And by including the following items as additional pre-tax cash flows: 

  

	 	1.	the deduction for depreciation allowed to the Surviving Company in each relevant period multiplied by 35%, subject to any depreciation recapture, if any;

  

	 	2.	in the case of U.S. projects, the deduction taken by the Surviving Company under Section 199 of the Internal Revenue Code multiplied by 35%, subject to any
depreciation recapture, if any; 

  

	 	3.	The amount of the investment tax credit or the grant in lieu thereof recognized by the Surviving Company, subject to any recovery or recapture, if any.

  

	 	IV.	Additional MWs 

  

	 	a.	In addition to the provisions relating to the Earnout otherwise described in this Schedule 1.12(i), the CEO of Parent and head of the Surviving Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to agree on up to an additional 15MWs of incremental projects for the purpose of determining Development MWs for completion in the Earnout Period that (x) are not part of Surviving Company’s current Business
Plan as of the Closing Date, (y) shall qualify for the Earnout described herein, and (z) shall utilize the actual module prices obtained by the Surviving Company’ for determination of the GPM Test and/or IRR Test set forth above (as
opposed to the $[*] per watt price specified above).

 Schedule 5.10 
 OPERATION OF SURVIVING COMPANY DURING THE EARNOUT PERIOD 
 (a) Except as Parent and the Representatives may otherwise agree in writing, from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the Earnout Period, Parent shall cause Surviving Company to, and
Surviving Company shall, operate in the Ordinary Course of Business consistent with the conduct of the Company’s Business prior to the Closing Date, and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the ability of the Surviving
Company to achieve the Maximum Earnout Target amounts, which would result, absent any allowed indemnification claims under Article 7, in the payment by Parent of the full Earnout Consideration (i.e., the full $89 million) by virtue of the Surviving
Company having completed 150 MW of Installed Projects by the end of the Earnout Period (the “Maximum Earnout Target”). It is the express intent of the Parties that the Surviving Company be operated, consistent with this Schedule
5.10 and Section 5.10 of the Agreement, in such a manner during the Earnout Period as to facilitate the ability of the Surviving Company to achieve the Maximum Earnout Target. During the Earnout Period, again consistent with this Schedule 5.10
and Section 5.10 of the Agreement, neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall take, agree to take, or commit to take, or fail to take, directly or indirectly, any action that would reasonably be expected to result in Surviving
Company’s inability to achieve the Maximum Earnout Target unless to do so is otherwise commercially reasonable (and not done with the intention of impacting the Surviving Company’s ability to achieve the Maximum Earnout Target). Without
limiting the foregoing, during the Earnout Period, except as Parent and the Representatives may otherwise agree in writing, from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the Earnout Period, Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not, and
shall not permit the Surviving Company to, and the Surviving Company shall not: 
 (i) mortgage, otherwise
encumber or subject to any senior or first priority Lien any of the Surviving Company’s properties or assets, and not otherwise encumber or subject to any Lien solar projects or assets intended to be financed by sale-leaseback, cash sale,
partnership flip or debt financings, other than in the Ordinary Course of Business of the Surviving Company; 
 (ii) enter into any binding contract or agreement related to any commercial development of a power plant or project that will utilize any of the sources of financing to be provided or arranged by Parent for Surviving Company’s under
this Schedule 5.10 and Section 5.10 of the Agreement, including without limitation the working capital (including SG&A expense funding), or project finance facilities of, or to be made available to, the Surviving Company, and the Parties
hereby agree that no such project shall be included in the Earnout calculation; provided, however, that if Parent does enter into any such binding contract or agreement (or requires the Surviving Company to do so), the Parties agree that
(A) such project shall not utilize any of the sources of financing described above, and (B) the work or efforts required by employees of the Surviving Company to effect such transactions, in the aggregate, if any, shall be of a magnitude
such that they do not interfere in any material respect with the Surviving Company’s efforts to achieve the Maximum Earnout Target; 
 (iii) except with the consent of the Representatives, terminate or demote other than for Cause any two of the four employees set forth on Schedule 5.10A (each an “Earnout Key Employee);
provided that “Cause” for this purpose shall mean when used in connection with the termination of a Earnout Key Employee, the termination of the Earnout Key Employee by the Parent or Surviving Company on account of (i) the
failure of the Earnout Key Employee to make a good faith effort to substantially perform his duties (other than any such failure due to the

  

 8 

 
Earnout Key Employee’s disability) or Participant’s insubordination with respect to a specific directive of the Earnout Key Employee’s officer to which the Earnout Key Employee
reports directly or indirectly; (ii) Earnout Key Employee’s dishonesty, gross negligence in the performance of his duties or engaging in willful misconduct, which in the case of any such gross negligence, has caused or is reasonably
expected to result in direct or indirect material injury to the Surviving Company or Parent; (iii) breach by Earnout Key Employee of any material provision of any written agreement with the Surviving Company or Parent or material violation of
any material Company policy applicable to the Earnout Key Employee; (iv) Earnout Key Employee’s commission of a crime that constitutes a felony or other crime of moral turpitude or fraud; or (v) material neglect or negligence in the
performance of such Earnout Key Employee’s duties, obligations and responsibilities; provided, however, that such Earnout Key Employees shall be provided with at least 10 business days advance written notice and an opportunity to cure
such breaches or problems as described in Subsections (i), (iii) and (v) above; 
 (iv) establish any
compensation or other benefit arrangements that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of impairing in any material respect the Surviving Company’s employees’ motivation to apply their best efforts to achieve the full Maximum
Earnout Target or breach Section 5.10; provided, however, that the parties agree that so long as (i) the salaries at the Effective Time and the Inducement Grants for such employees are maintained (and not decreased or increased
during the Earnout Period (except as may be permitted in clause (ii) hereof)) and (ii) unless 80MW of Aggregate Qualified Adjusted MWs of Financially Closed Projects are achieved pursuant to the Earnout, no additional compensation is
provided to the Earnout Key Employees during the Earnout Period and for a period of one year thereafter, other than (x) the compensation in place as of the Effective Time, including without limitation the Inducement Grants, (y) normal
vesting of equity compensation and contractual bonuses and (z) such other adjustments or increases generally applicable to other Parent executives in comparable positions, this covenant shall be deemed met; 
 (v) reorganize, consolidate or otherwise take steps to transfer any portion of the Surviving Company’s business to an
entity other than the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries or to expand, alter or change the type or nature of the Surviving Company’s business from the business conducted by the Surviving Company immediately prior to the Effective Time;

 (vi) unreasonably require the Surviving Company to cut staff, capital expenditures and general and
administrative expenses or take other actions that are not commercially reasonable (if the same would be inconsistent with the Company’s practices prior to the Effective Time) and/or a prudent business practice, provided, however, that
it is not reasonably foreseeable that such actions would materially undermine the Surviving Company’s efforts and ability to achieve the Maximum Earnout Targets; 
 (vii) require or allow the Surviving Company to engage in any activity for the intended purpose of increasing the long term
growth of the Business at the expense of achieving the Maximum Earnout Targets, except as Parent and the Representatives may otherwise agree in writing, which agreement could include credit towards or adjustment of one or more Earnout targets or
thresholds; 
 (viii) materially change, modify or alter the Surviving Company’s pricing, marketing, sales,
financing or operations in such a manner as would reasonably be expected to hinder or impair in any material respect its achievement of the Maximum Earnout Target (unless not to do the same would be commercially unreasonable); and 
  

 9 

 (ix) compete with the Surviving Company for project development
opportunities; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Parent from (A) continuing to participate in its existing joint venture with Q-Cells International or similar joint ventures or (B) investing or providing
capital to companies engaged in project development; notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in respect of any new business development opportunities not in Parent’s current pipeline or currently under consideration by
Parent, the Surviving Company shall have a right of first refusal with regard to any Parent photovoltaic pipeline acquisitions, or Parent corporate acquisitions primarily valued based on the photovoltaic project pipeline, in each case for the
acquisition of projects or pipeline only in the United States (which right of first refusal shall include the right to negotiate with Parent about the acquisition, including the terms, such as financing terms, thereof). 
 (b) In addition, during the Earnout Period, Parent shall: 
 (i) fund (by way of contribution of cash for common equity) the Surviving Company’s Business Plan for its planned level
of SG&A of $[*] in 2010, subject to Section II of Schedule 1.12(i), accounting adjustments to $[*] amount; for the avoidance of doubt, Parent’s funding of such SG&A expense shall be a separate and distinct obligation from,
and in addition to, Parent’s obligations to provide capital investment funds or arrange revolving credit pursuant to Subsections (ii) and (iii) below; provided, further, that Parent’s failure to fund less than the $[*]
SG&A target but in no event less than 90% of such target shall not result in automatic MW credit for the earnout but instead shall be accounted for in sub-section II(c)(i)(1)(b) of the earnout methodology below; 
 (ii) fund (by way of contribution of cash for common equity) not less than an aggregate of One Hundred Million ($100,000,000)
in working capital to the Surviving Company, in such increments as are requested by the Surviving Company, subject to such internal controls and financial policies and procedures as are consistent with the Parent’s controls, policies and
procedures regarding capital distributions to its Subsidiaries, and consistent with the Business Plan, with such funding to be provided within five (5) Business Days of the Surviving Company’s request but, in any event no later than
(A) Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) on the Closing Date (in excess of any amount used by Parent to pay off the Company’s note with HSH), (B) Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) no later than January 2, 2010 and
(C) Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) by April 1, 2010; 
 (iii) if the need for such facility is
required by the Business Plan and it is commercially reasonable for Parent to do so, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and make available to the Surviving Company a revolver or working capital facility (which revolver or working capital
facility would be either a portion of Parent’s facility or a separate Surviving Company facility on similar terms) from a bank or financial institution suitable to the scale of the Surviving Company’s business, as set forth in the Business
Plan, in order to achieve the Maximum Earnout Target; 
 (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to
cooperate with the Surviving Company, where prudent, advisable or in the best interests of Parent and the Surviving Company to do so, to provide or fund additional project financing or project equity or otherwise provide additional credit support in
connection with government loan guarantee programs; provided, however, that in no event pursuant to this Schedule 5.10 and Section 5.10 of the Agreement shall Parent be required to provide parent guaranties except for
(A) performance guaranties of operations and maintenance contracts consistent with the past practices of the Surviving Company prior to the Effective Time or (B) additional credit support in connection with

  

 10 

 
government loan guarantee programs, where prudent and advisable; and provided, further, that in no event pursuant to this Schedule 5.10 and Section 5.10 of the Agreement shall Parent
be required to provide letters of credit in connection with renewable energy credit contracts or EPC contracts except where such letters of credit are (A) consistent with the past practices of the Surviving Company prior to the Effective Time
and (B) necessary to obtain a specific project or projects; and 
 (v) provide commercially reasonable
assistance to Surviving Company to obtain modules, consistent with the Module Supply Plan agreed by the parties prior to Closing, as mutually agreed and updated during the Earnout Period; 
 (c) During the Earnout Period the Surviving Company and Parent shall provide to the Representatives updates no less frequently than monthly
providing in reasonable detail information regarding the operation and result of the Surviving Company, the outstanding MW pipeline and MW backlog, the total MWs of installed projects during the prior calendar month and the total MWs of installed
projects that satisfied the IRR Test and GPM Test during the prior calendar month, together with any other information reasonably necessary to allow the Representatives to assess the Surviving Company’s progress towards achievement of the
Maximum Earnout Target, and Parent, its Subsidiaries and the Surviving Company’s compliance with the covenants set forth in this Section 5.10. If the Representatives believe that there has been the occurrence or non-occurrence of
any event, occurrence or circumstance that in the Representatives’ reasonable good faith judgment is reasonably likely to have a material effect on the achievement or non-achievement of the Maximum Earnout Target, or in the event the
Representatives disagree with the calculations in a monthly report from the Parent or that the Representatives believe that there has been a material breach of any covenant set forth in Section 5.10, (an “Alleged Earnout Covenant
Breach”), then the dispute resolution and arbitration provisions of Section 5.10(e) below shall be utilized to achieve resolution of such Alleged Earnout Breach, which resolution could included extension of the Earnout Period for an
appropriate period of time or the acceleration of some or all of the entire amount of the Earnout Consideration (i.e. Eighty Nine Million Dollars ($89,000,000)). 
 (d) If, during the Earnout Period, there is (i) a Sale of the Company or (ii) if there is (x) a Parent Acquisition, then the Maximum Earnout Target shall be deemed to have been met as of
the date of the Sale of the Company or Parent Acquisition (as the case may be) and the full Earnout Consideration (i.e. Eighty Nine Million Dollars ($89,000,000) shall be due and payable pursuant to the payment and allocation provisions of Article
1. As used in this Schedule 5.10, the term “Sale of the Company” means any transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which any Person other than Parent or a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent acquires
(Y) units or membership interests of the Surviving Company possessing the voting power to elect a majority of the Surviving Company’s board of directors (whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, sale or transfer of
the Company’s units or membership interests or otherwise) or (Z) all or substantially all of the Surviving Company’s assets determined on a consolidated basis. As used in this Schedule 5.10, “Parent Acquisition” means any
(A) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of 50% or more of the consolidated assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries or over 50% of any class of equity or voting securities of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries whose assets,
individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than 50% of the consolidated assets of Parent, (B) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any Person (including as such term is
defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such Person) beneficially owning 50% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than 50% of the consolidated assets of Parent, (C) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, sale of substantially all the assets, reorganization,
recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction

  

 11 

 
involving Parent or any of its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than 50% of the consolidated assets of Parent or (D) a change in the composition
in more than 50% of the directors, excluding directors whose nomination was approved by a majority of the existing directors (and any previously approved directors). 
 (e) Disputes. In the event any dispute arises between at least two of the Representatives and Parent (or any of its Subsidiaries which expressly includes the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries and the
respective successors and assigns of each of the foregoing) the Company (each an “Earnout Party”) in connection with the Earnout or any of the covenants, agreements or calculations (including any calculation of the Aggregate
Qualified Adjusted MWs of Financially Closed Projects, Earnout Statement or the Preliminary Earnout Calculation) or any of its component parts) set forth on this Schedule 5.10, the Earnout Parties agree that such dispute will be resolved as follows:

 (i) Mediation. The Earnout Parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute by themselves through the
participation in such endeavor of the Chief Executive Officer of Parent and the Representatives. In the event that the Earnout Parties are unable to resolve such dispute themselves within ten business days that an Earnout Party has provided notice
to the other Earnout Parties of such dispute (the “Initial Period”), then, within three (3) Business Days following the end the Initial Period, the Earnout Parties shall submit it to non-binding mediation through a neutral mediator
selected by mutual agreement. In the event that the Earnout Parties are unable to resolve such dispute by mediation within fifteen (15) business days following such submission (the “Mediation Period”), it shall be resolved by binding
arbitration as set forth below. 
 (ii) Rules. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, the
arbitration proceeding shall be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time a demand for arbitration is made. To the extent that there is any conflict between the rules of the
American Arbitration Association and this Schedule 5.10, this Schedule 5.10 shall govern and determine the rights of the Earnout Parties. 
 (iii) Location; Selection of Arbitrators. The arbitration will take place in New York, New York, before a single arbitrator which arbitrator shall have experience in matters and industries relevant
to such dispute, provided, however that if the amount in controversy exceeds $25 million, then either the Parent or the Representatives shall have the right to require that three arbitrators be used. In the event that the Earnout Parties cannot
agree on a single arbitrator within five (5) Business Days following the end of the Mediation Period, then the arbitrator shall be selected as follows: either Earnout Party may request the American Arbitration Association to provide a list of
five (5) proposed arbitrators, all of whom must be retired judges with at least ten (10) years of judicial experience, but who may still be active in the practice of law; provided that any such prospective arbitrator shall have
experience in earnout matters relevant to such dispute. If the Earnout Parties are unable to mutually select an arbitrator from such list, the Earnout Parties to such dispute shall then take turns crossing off the names one at time until one name
remains, who shall thereupon be appointed the arbitrator. The Earnout Parties to such dispute shall select by lot which of them strikes the first name from the list of proposed arbitrators. If the person selected in this method to be the arbitrator
declines or is otherwise unavailable to serve as the arbitrator of the dispute, the arbitrator shall be selected from the same list of proposed arbitrators selected in the reverse order to which those proposed arbitrators’ names were struck
from the list until one of those individuals elected to be the arbitrator accepts the appointment and is able to serve as the arbitrator. 
  

 12 

 (iv) Arbitration Procedures. The arbitrator selected in the manner
set forth herein (the “Arbitrator”) shall be requested to honor the intention of the Earnout Parties hereto to resolve the dispute quickly and in accordance with the intent of the parties expressed in this Schedule 5.10. All
decisions shall be made with this intention in mind. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on all Earnout Parties, their successors and assigns as applicable. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Arbitrator shall
determine the manner in which the arbitration proceeding is conducted, including, without limitation, the time and place of all hearings, the order or presentation of evidence and all of the questions that arise with respect to the arbitration
proceeding. The arbitration shall entitle both parties to conduct discovery consistent with the applicable rules of civil procedure for federal courts situated in New York, New York. If deemed necessary by the Arbitrator, the Arbitrator shall have
the right to retain a nationally recognized accounting firm to aid in the Arbitrator’s consideration of the dispute which accounting firm must be reasonably acceptable to both Earnout Parties. The Arbitrator shall be required to determine all
issues in accordance with Delaware law. The arbitration shall be conducted in “baseball arbitration” style, whereby each Earnout Party shall submit their proposed result, and the Arbitrator may only choose one or the other proposed result.
Either Earnout Party to the arbitration may seek a judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the award of the Arbitrator. 
 (v) Costs. The cost of arbitration, including administrative fees, fees for recording a transcript, and the Arbitrator’s fees, shall be borne equally by the Earnout Parties to the arbitration.
Each Earnout Party shall bear the costs of the fees charged such Earnout Party by its own counsel; provided, however, that the Arbitrator shall have the discretion and the right, but not the obligation, to award reasonable attorneys’
fees to the Earnout Party determined by the Arbitrator to be the prevailing party (which shall be the Earnout Party whose proposed result is chosen by the Arbitrator).
