Section 1.5 Dissenting Shares . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to each share of Company Common Stock as to which the holder thereof shall have properly complied with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL as to appraisal rights (each, a “ Dissenting Share ”), if any, such holder shall be entitled to payment, solely from the Surviving Corporation, of the appraisal value of the Dissenting Shares to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL; provided , however , that if any holder of Dissenting Shares (a) affirmatively withdraws his demand for appraisal of such Dissenting Shares under the circumstances permitted by and in accordance with the DGCL, (b) fails to establish his entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in the DGCL or (c) takes or fails to take any action the consequence of which is that such holder is not entitled to payment for his shares under the DGCL, such holder or holders (as the case may be) shall forfeit the right to appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock and such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon cease to constitute Dissenting Shares and if such

5

forfeiture shall occur following the Effective Time, each such share of Company Common Stock shall thereafter be deemed to have been converted into and to have become, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive, without interest thereon, the Merger Consideration. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock or any written threats thereof, any written withdrawal or purported withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not settle, make any payments with respect to, offer to settle, approve the withdrawal of any claim or agree to any of the foregoing with respect to Dissenting Shares, in each case, without the written consent of Parent.

Section 1.6 Stock Options and Equity Awards .

(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “ Company Stock Option ”), whether or not vested, shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock, and shall thereafter constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including any provisions for acceleration, the number (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock subject to any such Company Stock Option at and after the Effective Time shall be an amount (rounded up to the nearest one hundredth of a cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio. For purposes of this Section  1.6 , the “ Stock Award Exchange Ratio ” shall mean the sum of (i) the Exchange Ratio plus (ii) the fraction resulting from dividing the Per Share Cash Amount by the closing price per share of the Parent Common Stock on the NYSE on the last trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “ Parent Closing Price ”).

(b) At the Effective Time, each award of restricted stock units (each, a “ Company RSU Award ”) that corresponds to shares of Company Common Stock that is outstanding as of the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall cease to represent a Company RSU Award with respect to Company Common Stock and shall thereafter constitute a restricted stock unit award (a “ Parent RSU Award ”), on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including any provisions for acceleration, with respect to the number (rounded to the nearest whole number) of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio.

(c) Pursuant to the resolutions of the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted as of April 11, 2019 and provided to Parent prior to the date hereof (the “ PU Resolutions ”), at the Effective Time, each performance unit (a “ Company PU Award ”) granted under any Company Benefit Plan that is

6

outstanding as of the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall immediately vest, shall cease to represent a Company PU Award with respect to Company Common Stock and shall thereafter represent the right to receive at such time specified in the PU Resolutions the amount provided in the PU Resolutions.

(d) At the Effective Time, each award of shares of restricted Company Common Stock (each, a “ Company RS Award ”) granted under any Company Benefit Plan, outstanding as of the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall cease to represent a Company RS Award with respect to Company Common Stock and shall thereafter constitute an award, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company RS Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including any provisions for acceleration, with respect to the number (rounded to the nearest whole number) of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RS Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio.

(e) At the Effective Time, each deferred stock award granted or deferred under any Company Benefit Plan (each, a “ Company Deferred Stock Award ”) granted to a non-employee member of the Company’s Board of Directors that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Combination and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled and converted into the right to receive, within five Business Days following the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Deferred Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Company Deferred Stock Award that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that is not permitted to be paid as described in the immediately preceding sentence without triggering a Tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall be made at the earliest time permitted under the applicable Company Stock Plan and Award Agreement that will not trigger a Tax under Section 409A of the Code.

(f) Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company and/or the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company shall adopt resolutions approving the treatment of the Company equity awards pursuant to the terms of this Section  1.6 .

(g) (i) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to assume as of the Effective Time the Company’s obligations under the Company Stock Options, Company RSU Awards, Company PU Awards and Company RS Awards and reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section  1.6 . (ii) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time and in any event no later than five days after the Effective Time, Parent shall file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) a registration statement on an appropriate form or a post-effective amendment to a previously filed registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Parent Common Stock subject to options and other equity-based awards described in this Section  1.6 and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the current status of the prospectus contained therein, as well as comply with any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, for so long as such options or other equity-based awards remain outstanding.

ARTICLE II

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Surrender and Payment .

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank, trust company or nationally recognized stockholder services provider or such other Person reasonably acceptable to the Company as the exchange agent (the “ Exchange Agent ”) for the purpose of exchanging Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing shares of Company Common Stock. Parent will make available to the Exchange Agent, as needed, the Merger Consideration to be delivered in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent will send, or will cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock as of the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal for use in such exchange (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) in such form as the Company and Parent may reasonably agree, for use in effecting delivery of shares of Company Common Stock to the Exchange Agent. Exchange of any Book-Entry Shares shall be effected in accordance with Parent’s customary procedures with respect to securities represented by book entry.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, will be entitled to receive (A) one or more shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section  1.4 and (B) a check in the amount equal to the cash portion of the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section  1.4 and this Article  II , including cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section  2.2 and dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section  2.1(f) . No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares or unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to the registration thereof that the surrendered Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other similar Taxes required as a result of such registration in the name of a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. Delivery of the aggregate Merger Consideration, as applicable, with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. For purposes of this Agreement, “ Person ” means an individual, a corporation, a limited liability company, a partnership, an association, a trust or any other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or any agency or instrumentality thereof.

8

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or the Parent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article  II .

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section  2.1(a) that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged his shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section  2.1 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of the Merger Consideration in respect of such holder’s shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares for any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property laws. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock three years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any governmental body, agency, authority or entity) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares until such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are surrendered as provided in this Section  2.1 . Following such surrender, there shall be paid, without interest, to the record holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor (i) at the time of such surrender, all dividends and other distributions payable in respect of such shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of such surrender and not previously paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to such surrender. For purposes of dividends or other distributions in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock, all shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be entitled to dividends pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time.

(g) The Exchange Agent shall invest the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration delivered by Parent pursuant to Section  2.1(a) as directed by Parent; provided that no losses on such investments shall affect the cash payable to former holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Article  II . Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid promptly to Parent. Any portion of the Merger Consideration deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section  2.1 to pay for shares for which appraisal rights shall have been perfected shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

9

Section 2.2 Fractional Shares .

(a) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of Company Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be entitled to receive, from the Exchange Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section  2.2 and subject to the provisions of Section  2.1 , a cash payment (without interest and rounded to the nearest cent) in lieu of such fractional shares of Parent Common Stock representing such holder’s proportionate interest, if any, in the proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent in one or more transactions of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the excess of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent pursuant to Section  2.1(a) over (y) the aggregate number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock to be distributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to Section  2.1(b) (such excess being herein called the “ Excess Shares ”). The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for the holders of the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing shares of Company Common Stock, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on the New York Stock Exchange (“ NYSE ”) in the manner provided in the following paragraph.

(b) The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent, as agent for the holders that would otherwise receive fractional shares, shall be executed on the NYSE through one or more member firms of the NYSE and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the proceeds of such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (the “ Common Shares Trust ”). The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of the Common Shares Trust to which each holder of shares of Company Common Stock shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate proceeds comprising the Common Shares Trust by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder of shares of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of shares of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled.

(c) As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of shares of Company Common Stock in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts to such holders of shares of Company Common Stock without interest, subject to and in accordance with Section  2.1 .

Section 2.3 Lost Certificates . If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate as contemplated by this Article  II .

10

Section 2.4 Withholding Rights . Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to Articles I and II such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the applicable governmental body, agency, authority or entity, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company represents and warrants to Parent that, except as disclosed (i) in the Company SEC Documents or the MLP SEC Documents (as hereinafter defined) filed or furnished prior to the date hereof (excluding any disclosures in such Company SEC Documents or MLP SEC Documents in any risk factors section, in any section related to forward looking statements and other disclosures that are predictive or forward-looking in nature) or (ii) in the correspondingly numbered section of the disclosure schedules delivered by the Company to Parent simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the “ Company Disclosure Schedules ”) (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection of this Agreement to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent, notwithstanding the omission of a cross-reference to such other section or subsection):

Section 3.1 Corporate Existence and Power . The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all corporate powers and all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals required to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, except for those the absence of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the property owned or leased by it or the nature of its activities or the ownership or leasing of its properties make such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.1 Corporate Existence and Power . Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary 1 and Merger Subsidiary 2 is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all corporate powers and all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals required to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, except for those the absence of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). Parent is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the property owned or leased by it or the nature of its activities or the ownership or leasing of its properties make such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “ Parent Material Adverse Effect ” means any Effect that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, assets or continuing results of operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided , however , that in no event shall any of the following Effects, alone or in combination, be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account, in determining whether there has been, or would be, a Parent Material Adverse Effect: (A) any changes in general United States or global economic conditions or securities, credit, financial or other capital markets conditions, (B) any changes or conditions affecting the oil and gas industry in general (including changes to commodity prices, general market prices and regulatory changes affecting the

Section 6.3 Director and Officer Liability .

(a) Without limiting any other rights that any Indemnified Person may have pursuant to any employment agreement or indemnification agreement, from the Effective Time and until the six (6) year anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries, other than the MLP and its Subsidiaries, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer or employee of the Company or of such Subsidiary, as applicable, or who acts as a fiduciary under any Company Benefit Plan or is or was serving at the request of the Company or of such Subsidiary as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise (the “ Indemnified Persons ”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, fines, penalties, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement, of or incurred in connection with any threatened or actual claim (including a claim of a violation of applicable law), action, audit, demand, suit, proceeding, investigation or other proceeding at law or in equity or order or ruling, in each case whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise and whether or not such claim, action, audit, demand, suit, proceeding, investigation or other proceeding or order or ruling results in a formal civil or criminal litigation or regulatory action (“ Proceeding ”) to which such Indemnified Person is a party or is otherwise involved (including as a witness) based, in whole or in part, on or arising, in whole or in part, out of the fact that such Person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or of such Subsidiary, a fiduciary under any Company Benefit Plan or is or was serving at the request of the Company or of such Subsidiary as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise or by reason of anything done or not done by such Person in any such capacity, whether pertaining to any act or omission occurring or existing prior to, at or after the Effective Time and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (“ Indemnified Liabilities ”), including all Indemnified Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to, this Agreement or the Transactions, in each case to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or such Subsidiary to pay expenses incurred in advance of the final disposition of any such Proceeding to each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law). Any Indemnified Person wishing to claim indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section  6.3(a) , upon learning of any such Proceeding, shall notify the Surviving Corporation (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve a party from any obligations that it may have under this Section  6.3(a) except to the extent such failure materially prejudices such party’s position with respect to such claims). Parent will have the right, upon written notice to any applicable Indemnified Person, to assume the defense of any Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is or would be sought hereunder employing counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section  6.3 , an Indemnified Person shall only be entitled to the rights provided in this Section  6.3 after providing a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined under applicable law that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified.

53

(b) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any provision in the organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries other than the MLP and its Subsidiaries (and Parent shall not authorize or consent to any such amendment, repeal or other modification of the organizational documents of the MLP or any of its Subsidiaries) in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Person to indemnification, exculpation or expense advancement, except to the extent required by applicable law. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries other than the MLP and its Subsidiaries to fulfill and honor any indemnification, expense advancement or exculpation agreements between the Company or any of such Subsidiaries and any of its or their directors, officers or employees existing immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries (other than the MLP and its Subsidiaries) to indemnify any Indemnified Person against all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), such amounts to be payable in advance upon request as provided in this Section  6.3 , relating to the enforcement of such Indemnified Person’s rights under this Section  6.3 ; provided , that, any such Indemnified Person shall only be entitled to the rights provided in this Section  6.3(c) after providing a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined under applicable law that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified.

(d) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to put in place, and Parent shall fully prepay no later than immediately prior to the Closing, “tail” insurance policies with a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time placed with insurance companies having the same or better AM Best Financial rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance companies with terms and conditions providing retentions, limits and other material terms no less favorable than the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company with respect to matters, acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided , however , that Parent may elect in its sole discretion, but shall not be required, to spend more than 300% (the “ Cap Amount ”) of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof for the six (6) years of coverage under such “tail” policy; provided , further , that if the cost of such insurance exceeds the Cap Amount, and Parent elects not to spend more than the Cap Amount for such purpose, then Parent shall purchase as much coverage as is reasonably available for the Cap Amount.

(e) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section  6.3 . Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not sell, transfer, distribute or otherwise dispose of any of their assets or the assets of any Subsidiary in a manner that would reasonably be expected to render Parent or Surviving Corporation unable to satisfy their obligations under this Section  6.3 . The provisions of this Section  6.3 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the parties and any and all Persons entitled to indemnification or insurance coverage or expense advancement pursuant to this Section  6.3 , and their heirs and representatives.

54

Section 6.4 Form  S -4 . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC under the Securities Act the Form S-4, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Form S-4 to be declared effective by the SEC a sufficient time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting to allow the Company to mail the Company Proxy Statement to the Company stockholders, as required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting.

Parent and the Company hereby agree that the consummation of the Combination shall constitute a “ Change in Control ” for purpose of any employee arrangement and all other Company Benefit Plans, pursuant to the terms of such plans in effect on the date hereof. No provision of this Section  6.6(a) shall be construed as a limitation on the right of Parent to amend or terminate any Company Benefit Plans which the Company would otherwise have under the terms of such Company Benefit Plan, and no provision of this Section  6.6(a) shall be construed to create a right in any employee or beneficiary of such employee under a Company Benefit Plan that such employee or beneficiary would not otherwise have under the terms of such plan.

(b) For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, Parent shall continue to provide to each individual who is employed by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time who remains employed with Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent (“Affected Employees”), for so long as such Affected Employee remains employed by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent (i) base compensation that is no less favorable than was provided to the Affected Employee immediately before the Effective Time, (ii) short- and long-term incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable in the aggregate than were provided to the Affected Employee immediately before the Effective Time and (iii) all other compensation and employee benefits (excluding severance) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than were provided to the Affected Employee immediately before the Effective Time; provided, that for purposes of determining whether such compensation and employee benefits are no less favorable in the aggregate, (x) retention, sale, stay or change in control payments or awards or any similar compensation or benefit, shall not be taken into account, (y) in lieu of

55

equity awards, Parent may substitute other forms of cash-based compensation having substantially equivalent value and equivalent vesting terms and (z) Parent may determine the value of defined benefit pension plan benefits provided immediately prior to the Effective Time in its good faith discretion; provided, however, that defined benefit pension plan benefits shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining under clause (iii) whether compensation and employee benefits are no less favorable in the aggregate for any particular Affected Employee, if Parent provides such Affected Employee with retirement benefits (excluding retiree welfare benefits) that are no less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries (it being understood that an employee of Parent and its Subsidiaries who participates in a frozen defined benefit pension plan shall not be deemed to be similarly situated to an Affected Employee). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms and conditions of employment for any Affected Employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, works council agreement, or other contract or agreement with any labor union, works council or other employee representative organization shall be governed by such contract or agreement and the foregoing provisions of this Section  6.6(b) or the provisions of Section  6.6(a) , Section  6.6(c) or Section  6.6(d) shall be inapplicable thereto.

(c) Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, give Affected Employees full credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (other than benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension or post-employment or retiree health or welfare plan that, in each case, is not a Company Benefit Plan) under any employee benefit plans or arrangements maintained by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent for such Affected Employees’ service with the Company or any Subsidiary to the same extent recognized by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent that such credit would result in a duplication of benefits or compensation for the same period of service.

(d) Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Affected Employees under any welfare benefit plans that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Time, other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied as of the Effective Time under any welfare plan maintained for the Affected Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) for the year in which the Effective Time occurs, provide each Affected Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any welfare plans that such employees are eligible to participate in after the Effective Time.

(e) Parent and the Company agree to the additional items set forth on Section 6.6(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedules.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section  6.6 , express or implied, shall (i) be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement, (ii) limit the ability of Parent or the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, except as permitted by the terms of such plan, program,

56

agreement, contract, policy or arrangement, (iii) create any third-party beneficiary rights or obligations in any person (including any employee) or any right to employment or services or continued employment or service or to a particular term or condition of employment or service with Parent or the Company or any of their Subsidiaries, or any of their respective affiliates or (iv) limit the right of Parent or the Company (or any of their Subsidiaries or their respective affiliates) to terminate the employment or service of any employee or other service provider following the Closing at any time and for any or no reason.

(g) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall have reasonably cooperated with Parent to provide to Parent such information reasonably requested by Parent to enable Parent to calculate the impact of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, either alone or in combination with another event.

COVENANTS OF PARENT AND THE COMPANY

The parties hereto agree that:

Section 7.1 Best Efforts .

(a) Subject to Sections  5.2 , 7.1(b) and 7.1(c) , the Company and Parent shall each cooperate with the other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective best efforts to promptly (i) take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable laws to consummate and make effective the Combination and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable, including, without limitation, preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents and (ii) obtain as soon as practicable all approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations required to be obtained from any third party or governmental body, agency, authority or official which are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Combination and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall submit the notifications required under the HSR Act relating to the Combination within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement. Prior to Closing, and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, the Company and Parent shall each keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Combination and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required approvals or consents of any governmental agency, body, authority or entity in connection with the Combination. The Company and Parent shall have the right to review in advance, and each will consult the other to provide any necessary information with respect to all filings made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any governmental agency, body, authority or entity in connection with the Combination and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall each promptly inform the other party, and if in writing, furnish the other party with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the other party orally of) any communication from any governmental agency, body, authority or entity regarding

57

the Combination, and provide the other party with the opportunity to participate in any meeting with any governmental agency, body, authority or entity in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that Parent will lead all such processes; but provided , further , that the foregoing shall not limit in any respect any party’s obligations under this Agreement. If either party receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any governmental agency, body, authority or entity with respect to the Combination, then such party will use its reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, promptly and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Subject to applicable laws or any request made by any applicable governmental agency, body, authority or entity (including the staff thereof), the Company and Parent shall each furnish to each other copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between it and any such governmental agency, body, authority or entity with respect to this Agreement and the Combination, and furnish the other party with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of filings or submissions of information to any such governmental agency, body, authority or entity; provided that materials provided pursuant to this Section  7.1(a) may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual obligations, and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns.

(b) Without limiting Section  7.1(a) , Parent and the Company shall, subject to Section  7.1(c) , as applicable:

(i) each use its best efforts to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order, or judgment that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing, on or before the End Date (as defined in Section  9.1(b)(i) ), including without limitation defending through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in any court by any Person; and

(ii) each use its best efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation law that may be asserted by any governmental agency, body, authority or entity with respect to the Combination (collectively, “ Antitrust Laws ”) so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event no later than the End Date), including, without limitation, (x) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of such businesses, product lines or assets of Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries and (y) otherwise taking or committing to take actions that after the Closing Date would limit Parent or its Subsidiaries’ freedom of action with respect to, or its or their ability to retain, one or more of the businesses, product lines or assets of Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries, in each case as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the Closing. Parent and, if requested by Parent, the Company shall agree to divest, sell, dispose of, hold separate, or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or Parent or Parent’s Subsidiaries’ ability to retain, any of the businesses, product lines or assets of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that any such action is conditioned upon the consummation of the Combination. The Company agrees and acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the

58

contrary in this Section  7.1 , in connection with any filing or submission required, action to be taken or commitment to be made by Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to consummate the Combination or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of the Company’s Subsidiaries shall, without Parent’s prior written consent, sell, divest, or dispose of any assets, license of any Company Intellectual Property, commit to any sale, divestiture or disposal of businesses, product lines or assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries or any license of Company Intellectual Property or take any other action or commit to take any action that would limit the Company’s, Parent’s or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ freedom of action with respect to, or their ability to retain any of, their businesses, product lines or assets or Company Intellectual Property; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any party of its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, neither the provisions of this Section  7.1 nor any other provision of this Agreement shall be construed to require Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries to undertake (or to request or authorize the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries to undertake) any efforts or to take any action if such efforts or action would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in a Substantial Detriment. “ Substantial Detriment ” shall mean changes or effects which would, individually or in the aggregate (and after giving effect to any reasonably expected proceeds of any divestiture or sale of assets), result in, or be reasonably likely to result in, a Company Material Adverse Effect, at or after the Effective Time; provided that any requirement to divest or hold separate, or limit the operation of, any division, Subsidiary, interest, business, product line, asset or property relating to the operations conducted by Parent and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to result in a Substantial Detriment if such action with respect to a comparable amount of assets or businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken together with all other actions taken pursuant to this Section  7.1 , would be reasonably likely, in the aggregate, to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, at or after the Effective Time.

Section 7.2 Certain Filings . The Company and Parent shall cooperate with one another (a) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency, authority or official is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any material contracts, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) in seeking any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith or with the Company Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.

Section 7.3 Access to Information . From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company and Parent will, during normal business hours and upon reasonable request, (a) give the other party and its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives access to the offices, properties, books and records of such party and its Subsidiaries, (b) furnish to the other party and its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives such financial and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request and (c) instruct its employees, counsel and financial advisors to cooperate with the other party in its investigation of the business of the Company or Parent, as the case may be; provided that such investigation shall not disrupt the Company’s or Parent’s operations; and provided , further , that no such

59

investigation shall affect any representation or warranty given by either party hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Parent, on the other hand, shall be required to provide any information which it reasonably believes it may not provide to the other by reason of any applicable law, which constitutes information protected by attorney/client privilege, or which it is required to keep confidential by reason of contract or agreement with any third Person. Each party shall use reasonable efforts to make reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. All information obtained by Parent or the Company pursuant to this Section  7.3 shall be kept confidential in accordance with, and shall otherwise be subject to the terms of, the Confidentiality Agreement dated as of February 20, 2019 between Parent and the Company (the “ Confidentiality Agreement ”). Without limiting the foregoing, from the date of the Agreement to the Effective Time, the Company shall, subject to the terms and limitations of this Section  7.3 , cooperate in good faith to provide Parent as promptly as practicable with the information described in Section 7.3 of the Company Disclosure Schedules.

Section 7.4 Tax Treatment . Neither Parent nor the Company shall, nor shall they permit their Subsidiaries to, take any action that would prevent or impede, or could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede, the Combination from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and, Parent and the Company intend to report the Combination for U.S. federal tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; provided that none of Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary of either thereof shall have any liability or obligation to any holder of Company Common Stock should the Combination (or the First Merger taken separately) fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Section 7.5 Public Announcements . Parent and the Company will consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any press release or public statement as may be required by applicable law or any listing agreement with any national securities exchange may be issued prior to such consultation, if the party making the release or statement has used its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party, and (b) a party may, without such consultation, issue a press release or make a public statement that is consistent with prior press releases issued or public statements made in compliance with this Section  7.5 or any communication plan or strategy previously agreed to by Parent and the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section  7.5 shall prevent Parent or the Company from issuing any press release or making any public statement in the ordinary course that does not relate specifically to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.6 Further Assurances . At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company, Merger Subsidiary 1 or Merger Subsidiary 2, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take any other actions and do any other things, in the name and on behalf of the Company, Merger Subsidiary 1 or Merger Subsidiary 2, reasonably necessary to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Combination.

(iii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings (A) commenced or (B) to the best of its knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

provided , however , that no such notification (and no other notification required to be given under any other Section of this Agreement) shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

Section 7.8 No Solicitation .

(a) The Company and its Subsidiaries will not, and the Company will direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ respective officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, consultants, attorneys, accountants, agents and other representatives not to, directly or indirectly, take any action to solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage or facilitate the making of any Acquisition Proposal (including without limitation by amending, or granting any waiver under, Article NINTH of the Company Charter or Section 203 of the DGCL) or any inquiry with respect thereto or engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect thereto (except to notify such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section  7.8 ), or disclose any nonpublic information or afford access to properties, books or records to any Person that has made, or to the Company’s knowledge is considering making, any Acquisition Proposal, or approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, option agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or propose publicly or agree to do any of the foregoing relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from (i) complying with Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) making any disclosure if, in the case of this clause (ii), in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, after consultation with outside counsel, the failure to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law; provided , however , that any such disclosure that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a Change in the

61

Company Recommendation unless the Company’s Board of Directors reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to the first sentence of Section  7.8(b) , prior to (but not after) the date of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company may, directly or indirectly through its advisors, agents or other intermediaries, (A) furnish information and access, but only in response to a request for information or access, to any Person making a bona fide , written Acquisition Proposal to the Board of Directors of the Company after the date hereof which was not obtained in breach of Section  5.2 or this Section  7.8 and (B) participate in discussions and negotiate with such Person or its representatives concerning any such unsolicited Acquisition Proposal, if and only if, in any such case set forth in clause  (A) or (B)  of this sentence, (1) the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith, after (x) receipt of the advice of a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and (y) taking into account any revisions to the terms of the Combination or this Agreement proposed by Parent after being notified pursuant to Section  5.2(b) , that failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law and (2) (x) the Company receives from the Person making such an Acquisition Proposal, prior to engaging in any of the activities described in clause (A)  or (B) of this sentence, an executed confidentiality agreement the material terms of which, as they relate to confidentiality, are (without regard to the terms of such Acquisition Proposal) in all material respects (i) no less favorable to the Company and (ii) no less restrictive to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and (y) any information provided to such Person has previously been provided to Parent or is provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person. The Board of Directors of the Company shall not take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (A)  and (B) unless the Company shall have first delivered to Parent written notice advising Parent that the Company intends to take such action.

(b) In the event that on or after the date of this Agreement the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal, or any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company by any Person that has made, or to the Company’s knowledge may be considering making, an Acquisition Proposal, the Company will (A) promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt thereof) notify (which notice shall be provided orally and in writing and shall identify the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or request and set forth the material terms thereof) Parent thereof, (B) keep Parent reasonably and promptly informed of the status and material terms of (including with respect to changes to the status or material terms of) any such Acquisition Proposal or request and (C) as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt) provide to Parent unredacted copies of all material correspondence and written materials (whether or not electronic) sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that describes any terms or conditions thereof, including any proposed transaction agreements (along with all schedules and exhibits thereto and any financing commitments related thereto), as well as written summaries of any material oral communications relating to the terms and conditions thereof. The Company (x) shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, consultants, attorneys, accountants, agents and other

For purposes of this Agreement, “ Superior Proposal ” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal for or in respect of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets on terms that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with, and taking into account the advice of, a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation, as well as any revisions to the terms of the Combination or this Agreement proposed by Parent after being notified pursuant to Section  5.2(b) ) (i) is more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the Combination and the Transactions and (ii) constitutes a transaction that is reasonably likely to be consummated on the terms so proposed, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal.
