ITEM 1.01

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

Stock Purchase Agreement

On August 17, 2015, NN, Inc. (“NN”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with PEP Industries, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), pursuant to which NN agreed to acquire from Seller (the “Acquisition”) all of the outstanding capital stock of Precision Engineered Products Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PEP”).

The purchase price NN has agreed to pay in connection with the Acquisition is $615 million in cash (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment for PEP’s indebtedness, working capital and cash balance at the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”). The Purchase Price is also subject to adjustment for certain Acquisition-related expenses and tax benefits. The Purchase Price includes: (i) $2,000,000, which will be held in escrow following the Closing to satisfy any potential working capital adjustments; (ii) $6,150,000, which will be held in escrow for twelve months following the Closing to satisfy any potential indemnification claims; and (iii) $5,000,000, which will be held in escrow to satisfy a portion of certain earnout obligations of Seller and/or PEP owed to certain persons that had previously sold certain business units to PEP.

The Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants by each party. The Closing of the Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. NN’s obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement are not conditioned on receipt of financing. Each of NN and Seller are obligated, subject to certain limitations, to indemnify the other under the Stock Purchase Agreement for certain customary and other specified matters, including breaches of representations and warranties, nonfulfillment or breaches of covenants and for certain liabilities and third-party claims.

NN is obligated to pay to Seller a termination fee of $30,750,000 in the event that the Stock Purchase Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances.

The foregoing descriptions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated by reference herein. The Stock Purchase Agreement has been included as an exhibit hereto solely to provide NN’s investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to be a source of financial, business or operational information about NN or its subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement: (i) are made only for purposes of the Stock Purchase Agreement and are made as of specific dates; (ii) are solely for the benefit of the parties; (iii) may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts; and (iv) may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. NN’s investors and security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of NN or its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

Debt Commitment Letter

In connection with entering into the Stock Purchase Agreement, on August 17, 2015, NN also entered into a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc.,

KeyBank National Association, SunTrust Bank, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., Regions Capital Markets and Regions Bank (collectively, the “Commitment Parties”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Commitment Parties have committed to provide senior secured loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $625 million (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), consisting of a term loan facility in the amount of up to $525 million and a revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $100 million. The Debt Commitment Letter also provides for senior unsecured increasing rate loans (the “Bridge Loans”) under a bridge facility in an amount not to exceed $300 million (the “Bridge Credit Facility” and, together with the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the “Facilities”). Funds received from the Facilities will be used, together with cash on hand, to finance a portion of the Purchase Price of the Acquisition, to pay certain fees and expenses in connection therewith and to refinance certain existing indebtedness of NN, its subsidiaries and PEP.

In lieu of the Bridge Credit Facility, NN may issue senior notes (the “Notes”) either by private placement or an underwritten public sale, subject to certain terms and conditions.

If the Notes have not been issued on or prior to the time of the Closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, certain of the Commitment Parties will be obligated to provide the Bridge Loans to finance a portion of the Acquisition. The Bridge Loans would be guaranteed by all of NN’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its Senior Secured Credit Facility and initially bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 7.25% per annum (the “Applicable Margin”). The Applicable Margin would increase 0.5% per annum upon the 90-day anniversary of the Closing Date, and an additional 0.5% upon each subsequent 90-day period. The Bridge Loans would mature twelve months following the Closing Date. Any unpaid principal relating to the Bridge Loans existing more than twelve months after the Closing Date would automatically convert to a term loan on terms and conditions that are likely to be significantly less favorable to NN.

Some of the Commitment Parties or their respective affiliates from time to time have provided in the past and may provide in the future investment banking, commercial lending and financial advisory services to NN and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

The foregoing description of the Debt Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Debt Commitment Letter which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements about the expected timing, completion and effects of the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter and all other statements herein and therein, other than historical facts, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and any such forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the following cautionary statements.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof and are based on current expectations and involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. NN may not be able to complete the Acquisition on the terms described above or other acceptable terms or at all because of a number of factors, including without limitation, the following: (i) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement; (ii) the failure to satisfy the closing conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement; (iii) risks related to disruption of management’s attention from NN’s ongoing business operations due to the transaction; and (iv) the effect of the announcement of the Acquisition on the ability of the parties to retain and hire key personnel, maintain relationships with their customers and suppliers, and maintain their operating results and business generally.

Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. In addition, the forward-looking statements represent NN’s views as of the date on which such statements were made. NN anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause its views to change. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing NN’s views as of any date subsequent to the date hereof. Additional factors that may affect the business or financial results of NN are described in the risk factors included in NN’s filings with the SEC, including NN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which factors are incorporated herein by reference. NN expressly disclaims a duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or other occurrences, except as required by law.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER

Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

6.1 Organization and Good Standing. Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate properties and carry on its business.

6.2 Authorization of Agreement. Purchaser has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated by this Agreement or to be executed by Purchaser

in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (the “Purchaser Documents”), and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and each Purchaser Document have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on behalf of Purchaser. This Agreement has been, and each Purchaser Document will be at or prior to the Closing, duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto and thereto) this Agreement constitutes, and each Purchaser Document when so executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

6.3 Conflicts; Consents of Third Parties.

(a) The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement or the Purchaser Documents does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or compliance by Purchaser with any of the provisions hereof or thereof will not, (i) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws, of Purchaser; (ii) subject to HSR Approval, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Law or Order applicable to Purchaser; or (iii) except as set forth on Schedule 6.3 require the consent, notice or other action by any Person under any Contract to which Purchaser is a party; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made in the foregoing clauses (ii) or (iii) with respect to matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the operation of the business of Purchaser.

(b) No Consent, Order or Permit of, or declaration or filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Body is required on the part of Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Purchaser Documents or the compliance by Purchaser with any of the provisions hereof or thereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for (i) compliance with the applicable requirements of the HSR Act or (ii) Consents, Orders or Permits that, if not obtained, would not reasonably be expected to impair Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.4 Investment Intention. Purchaser is acquiring the PEP Companies pursuant to the Share Sale for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the distribution (as such term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) of the PEP Companies’ capital securities. Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and cannot be sold under the Securities Act unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and investments in general that make it capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges

that it has been afforded: (a) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the PEP Companies concerning the merits and risks of investing in the PEP Companies; (b) access to information about the PEP Companies, their results of operations, financial condition and cash flow, and their businesses generally, in each case sufficient to Purchaser’s satisfaction to enable Purchaser to evaluate whether or not to proceed with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (c) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that Purchaser believes is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.5 Financial Advisors. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.5 hereto, no Person has acted, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder or financial advisor for Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no Person is entitled to any fee or commission or like payment in respect thereof.

6.6 Debt Financing.

(a) Purchaser has delivered to the Company a true and correct copy of an executed debt commitment letter addressed to Purchaser from KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc., KeyBank National Association, SunTrust Bank, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Inc., Regions Bank and Regions Capital Markets (the “Committed Lenders”) (including all exhibits, annexes, schedules and term sheets thereto together with each executed fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) associated therewith (which may be redacted in a customary manner, including, without limitation, with respect to fee amounts, post-closing securities demand provisions, economic terms, flex terms and required “hold” levels), collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter”, and the financing contemplated thereby, the “Debt Financing”), dated on or before the date hereof, pursuant to which the Committed Lenders have committed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to lend Purchaser the amounts set forth therein for the purpose of financing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser’s cash on hand, together with the aggregate amount of the funding to be provided in the Debt Financing (including after giving effect to all “flex” provisions contained therein), is sufficient to pay all amounts required to be paid by Purchaser hereunder and all related fees and expenses hereunder and under the Debt Financing. As of the date hereof, the Debt Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and has not been withdrawn or terminated or otherwise amended or modified in any respect, and no such amendment or modification is pending or contemplated. The Debt Commitment Letter is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, the other parties thereto, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws from time to time in effect affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Purchaser has entered into the Engagement Letter

(as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) contemplated by the last paragraph of Section 2 of the Debt Commitment Letter (the “Note Engagement Letter”) and such Note Engagement Letter is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, the other parties thereto, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws from time to time in effect affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Except for the Debt Commitment Letter and the Note Engagement Letter (and the related fee credit letter), there are no other agreements, side letters, undertakings or arrangements relating to the Debt Financing to which Purchaser is a party. To Purchaser’s knowledge, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Purchaser under any term or condition of the Debt Commitment Letter. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies, including any subsequent approval process, related to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing, other than the Financing Conditions, and the Debt Commitment Letter does not provide that the parties thereto may impose additional conditions or other contingences to such funding. Purchaser has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Debt Commitment Letter to be paid by it on or prior to the date hereof. As of the date hereof, Purchaser is not aware of any fact or occurrence that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to (i) make any of the assumptions or any of the statements set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter inaccurate in any material respect; (ii) result in any of the terms or conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter not being satisfied; (iii) cause the Debt Commitment Letter to be ineffective; or (iv) otherwise result in the Debt Financing not being available on a timely basis in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. None of (x) the provisions redacted in the Fee Letter, or (y) the provisions of the Note Engagement Letter (or the related fee credit letter) will limit, prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Debt Financing in any manner.

(b) Purchaser confirms that it is not a condition to Closing or any of its other obligations under this Agreement that Purchaser obtain financing for or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.7 Litigation. There is no legal, administrative arbitral or other proceeding by or before any Governmental Body or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened against Purchaser, nor to the knowledge of Purchaser is there any pending investigation by any Governmental Body, which would give any third party the right to enjoin or rescind the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise prevent Purchaser from complying with the terms and provision of this Agreement. Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller if any change, event or condition arises or occurs after the date hereof that would have made the foregoing representation untrue had such change, event or condition arisen or occurred on or prior to the date hereof or that could possibly materially delay the Closing.

6.8 Solvency. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser and each of its Subsidiaries (including the PEP Companies) shall collectively be able to pay their debts as they become due and shall own property having a fair saleable value in the ordinary course of business greater than the amounts required to pay their debts as they become due.

6.9 No Knowledge of Misrepresentations or Omissions. As of the date hereof: (a) neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has any actual knowledge that the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement and the Disclosure Schedules or otherwise are not true and correct in all material respects; and (b) neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has any actual knowledge of any material errors in, or material omissions from, any Schedule to this Agreement.

6.10 Informed Decision. Purchaser has (i) conducted its own independent review and analysis of, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the business, assets, condition and operations of the PEP Companies and (ii) has been furnished with or given access to such documents and information about the PEP Companies and their respective businesses and operations as it has deemed necessary to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.10 is intended to modify or amend any of the representations and warranties in Articles IV and V or affect Purchaser’s reliance thereon.

(b) Following the Closing and until any applicable statute of limitations (including periods of waiver) has expired, Purchaser agrees to retain all Books and Records in existence on the Closing Date and to grant to Seller and its representatives during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to Purchaser, the right, at the expense of Seller, (i) to inspect and copy the Books and Records and (ii) to have personnel of Purchaser made available to them or to otherwise cooperate to the extent reasonably requested by Seller, including in connection with (A) preparing and filing Tax returns and/or any Tax inquiry, audit, investigation or dispute, or (B) any litigation, audit, dispute, claim or investigation.

7.9 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Covenants.

(i) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added, and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Company Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by the Purchaser when due. The Purchaser shall, and shall cause the PEP Companies to, at their own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Seller shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(ii) Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the PEP Companies after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period. Any such Tax Return prepared prior to the final determination of the Closing Assumed Indebtedness pursuant to Section 2.3(c) or with respect to which Seller may have any continuing liability pursuant to Section 9.2 shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by Purchaser to the Seller (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by the Seller, supporting documentation) at least thirty-five (35) days before the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If the Seller objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Purchaser in writing that it so objects, specifying any such item and stating the basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such items. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by Purchaser of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm, and any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be final. The Accounting Firm shall resolve any disputed items within ten (10) days of

having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Accounting Firm is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Purchaser (incorporating such changes as have been agreed pursuant to this Section 7.9(a)(ii)) and then amended to reflect the Accounting Firm’s resolution. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm under this Section 7.9(a)(ii) shall be borne by Purchaser and Seller in inverse proportion to their success on the merits in the resolution of the items in dispute.

(iii) Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall (or shall cause or permit any PEP Company to) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax Return relating in whole or in part to any PEP Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (or with respect to any Straddle Period) without the written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Seller.

(b) Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Except for any existing Tax sharing agreements between or among the PEP Companies, any and all existing Tax sharing agreements binding upon the PEP Companies shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date, none of the PEP Companies shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

(i) After the Closing, each party to this Agreement (whether Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be) shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any demand, claim or notice of the commencement of an audit received by such party from any Governmental Body or any other Person with respect to Taxes for which such other party is liable pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 of this Agreement; provided, however, that a failure to give such notice will not affect such other party’s rights to indemnification under Article IX, except to the extent that such party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing the asserted Tax liability and shall include copies of the relevant portion of any notice or other document received from any Governmental Body or any other Person in respect of any such asserted Tax liability.

(ii) Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense, of any Action, audit, claim for refund, or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability or refund with respect to any PEP Company (any such Action, audit, claim for refund, or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.2(a) referred to herein as a “Tax Claim”) relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

(d) Procedure Regarding Tax Claims. In the case of any Tax Claim with respect to any PEP Company with respect to any Straddle Period, or any Pre-Closing Tax Period which Seller has not elected to control pursuant to Section 7.9(c),

Purchaser shall control the conduct of such Tax Claim, but Seller shall have the right to participate in such Tax Claim at its own expense and, with the written consent of Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, and at its expense, may assume control of the conduct of such Tax Claim. Neither Purchaser, nor the PEP Companies shall settle, compromise and/or concede such Tax Claim without the consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Purchaser fails to assume control of the conduct of any such Tax Claim within a reasonable period following the receipt by Purchaser of notice of such Tax Claim, Seller shall have the right to assume control of such Tax Claim and shall be able to settle, compromise and/or concede such Tax Claim in its sole discretion

(e) Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Seller and Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Section 7.9 or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the PEP Companies. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records, and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the PEP Companies for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Before transferring, destroying, or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the PEP Companies for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Seller or Purchaser (as the case may be) shall provide the other party with reasonable written notice and offer the other party the opportunity to take custody of such materials. Any information obtained under this Section 7.9 shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of a Tax Claim or other Tax proceeding.

(f) Tax Elections. Purchaser shall not, without the prior consent of Seller (which may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold such consent), make, or cause to permit to be made, any Tax election, or adopt or change any method of accounting, or undertake any extraordinary action on the Closing Date, that would affect the Seller or any PEP Company for any period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

(g) Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article IX may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Section 7.9, the provisions of this Section 7.9 shall govern.

(h) No 338 Election. Purchaser shall not make any election under Section 338 of the Code (or any similar provision under state, local, or foreign Law) with respect to the acquisition of the Company and its Affiliates.

(i) Consolidated Group Issues. Purchaser and Seller intend that the Company will join Purchaser’s U.S. consolidated Tax group upon the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares and as a result the Tax year of the Company will end for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the Closing Date. Seller and Purchaser agree that the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the PEP Companies for such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall be prepared in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii) and that (x) none of Purchaser, Seller, Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall make a ratable allocation election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2) or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law, and (y) in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76 and any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law, any Tax imposed with respect to any transaction not within the ordinary course of business that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, Company or any PEP Company) causes to occur on the Closing Date after the Closing shall be the responsibility of Purchaser and shall be allocable to the taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date for all purposes of this Agreement.

7.10 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) From the date hereof through the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article X and the Closing, as applicable, Seller shall not and shall cause each of the PEP Companies and its and their representatives not to, directly or indirectly (except with respect to Purchaser and its Affiliates), solicit or invite any inquiries, proposals or indications of interest, or enter into any discussions, negotiations, understandings, arrangements or contracts relating to the direct or indirect disposition, whether by sale, merger or otherwise, of all or any material portion of the PEP Companies or their respective businesses or assets or the Shares or any other capital stock of any PEP Company.

(b) From the date hereof through the earlier of the Closing Date and the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article X, as applicable, Seller shall not conduct any discussions or negotiations, and shall cause the PEP Companies and representatives to, cease and terminate immediately any existing discussions or negotiations with respect to or in furtherance of any transaction described in clause (a) above.

7.11 No Other Representations or Warranties. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) the PEP Companies and Seller are not making any representations or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given by the Company in Article IV (as modified by the Disclosure Schedules hereto as supplemented or amended) and those expressly given by Seller in Article V (as modified by the Disclosure Schedules hereto as supplemented or amended), and (b) except for the representations and warranties contained in such provisions of this Agreement, the assets and the business of the PEP Companies are being transferred on a “where is” and, as to condition, “as is” basis. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that none of the PEP Companies, nor Seller or any of their respective Affiliates nor any other Person has made any representation or

warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the PEP Companies, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not expressly set forth within this Agreement, and Purchaser is not relying on anything other than the express provisions of this Agreement in entering into this Agreement. None of the PEP Companies, nor Seller, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to Purchaser or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Purchaser or its representatives of or Purchaser’s use of, any such information, including any confidential memoranda distributed on behalf of Seller or the PEP Companies relating to the PEP Companies or other publications, representations, warranties, forecasts, statements or information, including any information provided in a “data room”, “management presentation”, “break-out session” or otherwise to Purchaser or its Affiliates or representatives, or any other document or information in any form provided to Purchaser or its representatives in connection with the Share Sale and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the representations and warranties made by the PEP Companies and Seller in this Agreement (as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules) supersede, replace and nullify in every respect all other information, whether written or oral, made available to Purchaser, its Affiliates or its representatives.

7.12 Compliance with Connecticut Transfer Act. Seller and Purchaser agree and acknowledge that this stock purchase transaction constitutes a “transfer of an establishment” under the CT Act with respect to the Site. Prior to the Closing Seller and Purchaser shall work together to cause the PEP Companies to (a) engage a Connecticut Licensed Environmental Professional to prepare an Environmental Condition Assessment Form (“ECAF”) for the Site and any other documents that may be required pursuant to the CT Act or by the CTDEP as a result of the consummation of this stock purchase transaction and (b) deliver a copy of the ECAF and such other documents to Seller and Purchaser. The EFAC shall state that Lacey and the other PEP Companies may rely on the EFAC. After the Closing, the Purchaser shall cause the PEP Companies to file a Form III and an ECAF with the CTDEP and otherwise comply with the applicable provisions of the CT Act in connection with this stock purchase transaction, including without limitation completing and filing at or promptly following the Closing all forms and documents required by the CT Act in connection herewith, causing Lacey to execute the same as the Certifying Party (as that term is defined under the CT Act), pursuant to which Lacey shall pay all applicable filing fees associated therewith, and conduct and complete at Lacey’s expense all investigation and remediation of environmental conditions as required under the CT Act. Lacey shall be responsible for the costs of investigation of environmental conditions as required under the CT Act, and shall assume all CT Act Liabilities; provided that Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser obligations to cause the PEP Companies to prepare and file any forms required under this Section 7.12.

7.13 Employees and Benefits.

(a) For a period of one year following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the PEP Companies to, provide each Closing Date Business Employee (including, without limitation, those on temporary layoffs or approved leaves

of absence) with job responsibilities, wages, compensation and other employee benefits (not including any executive-level benefit) in the aggregate not materially less favorable than those applicable to each such Closing Date Business Employee immediately before the Closing Date.

(b) On or after Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for any and all notices, liabilities, costs, payments and expenses arising from any action by Purchaser or the PEP Companies occurring after the Closing (including breach of contract, defamation or retaliatory discharge) regarding any Closing Date Business Employee, including any such liability (i) under any applicable Law that relates to employees, employee benefit matters or labor matters, (ii) for dismissal, wrongful termination or constructive dismissal or termination, or severance pay or other termination pay, or (iii) under or with respect to any Company Benefit Plan, program, contract, policy, commitment, or arrangement of the PEP Companies, including with respect to severance or retention plans, or to the extent such severance or retention plans provide payments or benefits with respect to any Business Employee; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of Purchaser and the PEP Companies shall be subject to Section 11.8.

(c) In any termination or layoff of any Closing Date Business Employee by Purchaser or the PEP Companies on or after the Closing, Purchaser and the PEP Companies will comply fully, if applicable, with the WARN Act and all other applicable foreign, federal state and local laws, including those prohibiting discrimination and requiring notice to employees. Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the PEP Companies not to, at any time prior to sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as those terms are defined in the WARN Act) affecting in whole or in part any facility, site of employment, operating unit or employee of the PEP Companies without complying fully with the requirements of the WARN Act. Purchaser and the PEP Companies will bear the cost of compliance with (or failure to comply with) any such Laws.

(d) For periods on and after the Closing Date, the PEP Companies shall continue to have all obligations and liabilities under and with respect to the Company Benefit Plans and to or with respect to all persons entitled to benefits under the provisions of each such Company Benefit Plan, including, without limitation, the obligation to provide or make available welfare benefits to retired or disabled employees of the PEP Companies.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing contained in this Section 7.13, whether express or implied, shall (i) confer upon any employee of Purchaser or any PEP Company any entitlement, rights, or remedies (including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period), of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 7.13 or (ii) restrict Purchaser or any PEP Company from terminating the employment of any individual, including without limitation any Business Employee or Closing Date Business Employee. No provision of this Section 7.13 is intended to modify, amend or create any employee benefit plan of Purchaser or any PEP Company.

7.14 Financing.

(a) Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts (and Purchaser shall cause each of its subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts) to obtain the Debt Financing at Closing on the terms and conditions (including flex provisions) described in the Debt Commitment Letter (provided that Purchaser may amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify the Debt Commitment Letter, including, without limitation (x) to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof or (y) to implement any flex provisions applicable thereto provided that no such amendment, restatement, supplement or modification shall be permitted if, in any such case, taking into account the expected timing of the Marketing Period, such amendment, restatement, supplement or modification would reasonably be expected to (i) delay or prevent the Closing, (ii) impose any additional conditions to the Debt Financing or amend or modify any Financing Condition in a manner materially adverse to the Purchaser or Seller (iii) modify or amend the date on which the commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter expire or terminate in any manner that results in such date of expiration or termination becoming a date earlier than the date specified in the Debt Commitment Letter or (iv) adversely impact the ability of the Purchaser to enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter), including using reasonable best efforts to (1) take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things (other than the commencement of litigation or Legal Proceedings) reasonably necessary, proper or advisable in connection therewith, (2) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter and the Note Engagement Letter until the consummation of the Closing hereunder, (3) taking into account the expected timing of the Marketing Period, satisfy on a timely basis all of the Financing Conditions and any other conditions to the Debt Financing in the Debt Commitment Letter (including promptly preparing and furnishing to the Committed Lenders and the Financial Institutions (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) the Purchaser Financing Information), and otherwise comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter, (4) negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions (including, to the extent the same are exercised, the flex provisions) contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or on other terms acceptable to Purchaser that would not (I) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing or (II) impose any new or additional conditions precedent to the receipt of the Debt Financing or modify or amend any Financing Condition, (5) if all of the conditions to funding in the Debt Commitment Letter have been satisfied or waived, consummate the Debt Financing at Closing and (6) so long as the conditions in the immediately preceding clause (5) have been satisfied, enforce (other than the commencement of litigation or Legal Proceedings) their rights under the Debt Commitment Letter, and (6) comply with, and fulfill all of its obligations under, the Note Engagement Letter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall give the Company prompt notice: (A) of any material breach or default by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter; (B) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Debt Financing Source with respect to any (x) breach, default, termination or repudiation of the Debt Commitment Letter by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or (y) material dispute between or among Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Debt Financing Sources, on the other hand, with respect to the availability

of the Debt Financing; (C) if for any reason Purchaser believes in good faith that (x) there is a material dispute between or among Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Debt Financing Sources, on the other hand, with respect to the availability of the Debt Financing or (y) there is a material possibility that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter; and (D) if for any reason any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter; provided that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to disclose any information to the extent that (1) such information is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege (but only if such privilege is asserted in good faith) or (2) the disclosure of which would be prohibited or restricted by applicable Law. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within three (3) Business Days, after the date the Company delivers to Purchaser a written request, Purchaser shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) of the immediately preceding sentence. Without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not permit any assignment of rights or obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event; it being understood that (x) Purchaser shall have no obligation to accept terms that are materially less favorable, taken as a whole (after taking into account any flex provisions), to Purchaser than those included in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof, and (y) without the prior written consent of the Company, the Purchaser shall not obtain any Alternative Financing that contains any conditions or contingencies to the funding thereof other than the Financing Conditions as in effect on the date hereof. Purchaser shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (subject to any applicable restrictions in the Debt Commitment Letter). Purchaser shall promptly provide a true, correct and complete copy of any Alternative Financing commitment (together with a copy of any related fee letter with only the fee amount redacted), and, to the extent applicable, thereafter (x) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” shall include the debt financing contemplated by such commitment letters (including fee letters) for the Alternative Financing, (y) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letter” or the “Committed Lenders” shall be deemed to be the commitment letters (including fee letters) for the Alternative Financing and the lenders or other providers of such Alternative Financing, respectively, and (z) any reference in this Agreement to the Financing Conditions shall include the conditions to the Alternative Financing set forth in the commitment letters for the Alternative Financing referred to in the prior clause (y). For purposes of this Agreement, the definitions of “Debt Commitment Letter,” “Debt Financing” and related definitions shall include the Debt Commitment Letter and, if entered into prior to Closing, any document related thereto as the same may be amended, waived, modified or replaced pursuant to this Section 7.14(a).

(b) Until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article X, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (and the Company shall cause each of its Company Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts) to provide Purchaser, and shall use each of their respective reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to provide Purchaser, in each case, with Purchaser’s reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (in accordance with the reimbursement provisions of Section 11.2), all customary cooperation reasonably requested by Purchaser that is necessary in connection with arranging and obtaining the Debt Financing (or, if applicable, any Alternative Financing) contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (provided that such requested cooperation is consistent with applicable Law), including using reasonable best efforts in connection with (i) promptly furnishing Purchaser the Company Financing Information as and when it becomes available, (ii) participating in a reasonable number of meetings at reasonable times (including customary one-on-one meetings with the parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for, and prospective lenders and purchasers of, the Debt Financing and members of senior management and representatives of the Company), presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies in connection with the Debt Financing, in each case with reasonable advance notice, (iii) assisting Purchaser with the preparation by Purchaser of (A) offering documents and confidential information memoranda for any portion of the Debt Financing (including the “Required Information” as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter (solely to the extent related to a PEP Company and specifically excluding any Purchaser Financing Information)) and (B) reasonable and customary materials for rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda and similar documents reasonably and customarily required in connection with the Debt Financing (including the delivery of any consents of accountants for use of their reports); provided, however, that any offering memorandum, offering documents, confidential information memorandum, rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda or similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing shall (x) contain disclosure reflecting Purchaser and/or one or more post-Closing Affiliates thereof as the obligor(s), and (y) contain disclosures exculpating the Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates with respect to any liability related to the contents or use thereof by the recipients thereof, in each case, other than as set forth in the customary representation letters to the Company’s accountants as contemplated by (v) below, (iv) executing and delivering, effective as of the Closing, any pledge and security documents and otherwise facilitating the pledging of collateral, (v) obtaining customary accountant’s comfort letters (including the delivery of customary representation letters to the Company’s accountants in connection therewith), local counsel opinions, and customary payoff letters and Lien releases in respect of existing Company Indebtedness of the PEP Companies, in each case, as required by the Debt Commitment Letter and effective only at the Closing (except with respect to the accountant comfort letters), and (vi) at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, providing all documentation and other information about the Company as is reasonably requested in writing by Purchaser at least seven Business Days prior to the Closing Date in connection with the Debt Financing that relates to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this

Agreement, (a) irrespective of the above, nothing in this Section 7.14 shall require any PEP Company to incur any liability or enter into any binding certificate, agreement, document or instrument (or to take any action under any certificate, agreement document or instrument) that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing, (b) nothing herein shall require such cooperation or actions to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the PEP Companies in any material respect, (c) none of the PEP Companies shall be required to issue any offering document, (d) none of the PEP Companies shall be obligated to provide (and Purchaser shall not disclose) any information about the PEP Companies to the extent that (1) such information is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege (but only if such privilege is asserted in good faith) or (2) the disclosure of which would be prohibited or restricted by applicable Law or any agreement or contract, (e) nothing in this Section 7.14 shall require Seller or any PEP Company to make any representation or warranty, or incur any liability, in connection with the Debt Financing or the marketing or arrangement thereof (except, in the case of the PEP Companies, any such representation or warranty that is effective only at or following the Closing or, solely to the extent necessary to be delivered to the accountants of the Company in connection with any comfort letters required hereunder, with respect to the Company Financing Information), (f) no PEP Company shall be required to prepare or deliver any financial statements or other financial information or data under this Section 7.14 other than the Company Financing Information, (g) no member of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of any PEP Company shall be required to consent to or approve any written consent, resolution or similar approval in respect of the Debt Financing or any agreements or instruments entered into in connection therewith and (h) no personal liability shall be imposed on the officers, directors, managers, employers or agents involved; provided, further, that none of the PEP Companies shall be required to bear any cost or expense or pay any commitment fee or other fee (other than a liability (x) that is contingent upon the Closing occurring or (y) in respect of which the Purchaser has agreed to provide reimbursement, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Section 7.14 or Section 11.2 hereof) with respect to the Debt Financing prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the PEP Companies and their respective Representatives and Affiliates from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement or marketing of, or any assistance or cooperation provided in respect of, or otherwise arising out of, the Debt Financing (including any action taken pursuant to this Section 7.14(b)) and any information utilized in connection therewith. Whether or not the Closing Date occurs, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller, the Company and their respective Affiliates in connection with the cooperation contemplated by this Section 7.14(b) in accordance with Section 11.2. All material non-public information provided by the PEP Companies or any of their representatives pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall be kept confidential, except that Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose such information to its advisors, the Debt Financing Sources and the affiliates, employees, representatives, agents and advisors of any Debt Financing Source and other potential sources of capital, rating agencies and prospective lenders and investors during syndication of the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing subject to the potential sources of capital, ratings agencies and prospective lenders and investors entering into customary confidentiality undertakings

with respect to such information (including through a notice and undertaking in a form customarily used in confidential information memoranda for senior credit facilities). The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of the PEP Companies’ names, marks and logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such names, marks and logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended or not reasonably likely to harm or disparage the PEP Companies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller and the Company shall not be deemed in default of, or otherwise in breach of its obligations under, this Section 7.14, and the condition set forth in Section 8.1(b) as it relates to this Section 7.14(b) shall be deemed satisfied, unless such breach materially contributed to a failure to obtain the Debt Financing. Until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article X, the Purchaser shall promptly pay any fees that become due in connection with the Debt Financing.

7.15 Termination of Management Consulting Agreement. The Management Consulting Agreement shall be terminated at or immediately prior to Closing.

7.16 Earnout Escrow Amount. The Earnout Escrow Amount will be deposited in the Escrow Account for the sole purpose of serving as a limited source to pay earnout obligations of the PEP Companies under the Trigon Agreement with respect to the periods ending (a) December 31, 2015, (b) April 30, 2016, (c) April 30, 2017 and/or (d) April 30, 2018. The parties shall promptly execute and deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to release all or a portion of the Earnout Escrow Amount for payment pursuant to the Trigon Agreement to the extent that such amount has been earned pursuant to such Trigon Agreement. To the extent that funds remain in the Earnout Escrow after the final scheduled potential earnout payment date pursuant to the Trigon Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall promptly execute and deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent to release any remainder in the Earnout Escrow to Seller. Through the end of the final payment period pursuant to the earnout under the Trigon Agreement, Purchaser hereby covenants that it will and will cause the PEP Companies to (i) not amend the earnout terms and conditions in a manner that is adverse to Seller and (ii) use good faith efforts to ensure that the PEP Companies do not overpay their earnout obligation pursuant to the Trigon Agreement and enforce their rights under the Trigon Agreement. For so long as funds remain in the Earnout Escrow, Purchaser shall promptly provide Seller with a copy of any financial reporting information related to the earnout that the PEP Companies are obligated to provide to the sellers in the Trigon Agreement.

7.17 280G Issues. If required to avoid the imposition of Taxes under Section 4999 of the Code with respect to any payment or benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall (a) no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, solicit from each “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code) with respect to the PEP Companies who has received or will receive any payment or benefits that would constitute a “parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code) a waiver of such disqualified individual’s rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) so that all remaining payments and/or benefits, if any, shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) and (b) no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing

Date, with respect to each individual who agrees to the waiver described in clause (a), submit to a vote of the Class A Unit holders of Seller (along with adequate disclosure satisfying the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(ii) of the Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder) the right of any such “disqualified individual” to receive or retain the Waived 280G Benefits. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to soliciting such waivers and distributing such approval materials, Seller shall provide drafts of such waivers and approval materials to Purchaser for its reasonable review and approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If any of the Waived 280G Benefits fail to be approved in accordance with the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) as contemplated above, such Waived 280G Benefits shall not be made, provided or retained, as the case may be. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser evidence reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that a vote of the Class A Unit holders of Seller was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.17 and that either (i) the payment of the Waived 280G Benefits was approved in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(i) (the “280G Approval”) or (ii) the 280G Approval was not obtained, and, as a consequence, the Waived 280G Benefits shall not be made, provided or retained, as the case may be. In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser shall provide the Seller with all relevant terms of any employment contracts or other arrangements that will be entered with the “disqualified individuals” on or prior to the Closing Date that could result in payments and other terms (including, rights to severances, retention bonuses or signing bonuses) that need to be approved (or disclosed) to ensure that any such payments or other terms are included in the Waived 280G Benefits, if applicable, and the materials soliciting member approval in accordance with this Section 7.17 are complete and accurate. To the extent such information provided by Purchaser is incorrect or incomplete in any respect, all Taxes of the PEP Companies for any Taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date shall be computed for purposes of this Agreement assuming that no payment made by any of the PEP Companies (including any payments included in the Transaction Tax Benefits) is nondeductible under Section 280G of the Code, but only to the extent that the incorrect or incomplete information provided by Purchaser is the sole cause for a payment being nondeductible under Section 280G.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), including the representations and warranties in Section 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Section 4.2 (Authorization of Agreement), Section 4.4 (Capitalization), Section 4.17 (Financial Advisors), and Section 5.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Section 5.2 (Authorization of Agreement), Section 5.4 (Ownership) and Section 5.5 (Financial Advisors) (collectively, the “Seller Fundamental Representations”). All pre-Closing covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period and all post-Closing covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein shall survive Closing for the period explicitly specified herein. None of the survival periods contained herein shall apply to

any claims related to Fraud. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party before the expiration date of the Survival Period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

9.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, and its Affiliates, and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses asserted against, incurred, sustained by or imposed against any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any Third Party Claim) as a result of, arising out of or relating to:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or Seller contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto; and

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company or Seller contained in this Agreement.

9.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses asserted against, incurred, sustained by or imposed against the Seller Indemnified Parties as a result of, arising out of or relating to:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto; and

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

9.4 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no indemnification claims for Losses shall be asserted by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Article IX unless and until: (i) the amount of Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.2(a) (other than with respect to Losses to the extent arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation) arising out of any particular inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or Seller in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement exceeds $50,000 (the “Per Claim Threshold”) (it being agreed and understood that all Losses, whether in a single claim or in a group of related claims, relating to a particular fact, event, circumstance or occurrence (or a series of related facts, events, circumstances or occurrences, or facts, events, circumstances or occurrences having the same

underlying, non-generic factual or legal basis) shall be aggregated for this purpose), and once the Per Claim Threshold has been exceeded, Seller shall be required to indemnify, compensate and reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for all such Losses from the first dollar, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 9.4(a); and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.2 exceeds (except for breaches of Seller Fundamental Representations, which are not subject to this limitation) Six Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($6,150,000) (the “Basket”), and the Seller, shall be required to pay or be liable for all Losses in excess of the Basket. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.2 shall not exceed the Indemnification Escrow Amount. The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses in respect of any claim or otherwise obtain reimbursement or compensation more than once with respect to any indemnification claim hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Losses as a result of, or based upon or arising from, any liability to the extent such liability was included in Closing Working Capital or Company Indebtedness in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price. Excluding the Purchaser’s obligations to pay the full Purchase Price in connection with the Closing, the Termination Fee and Seller’s expenses pursuant to Section 7.14(b) (which amounts shall not be subject to the following cap), the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Purchaser shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.3 shall not exceed Six Million Dollars ($6,150,000).

(b) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover under this ARTICLE IX with respect to any Losses (and no such Losses shall be aggregated for purposes of Section 9.4(a) or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) arising from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision contained in this Agreement, or in any exhibit, Schedule or document delivered hereunder, if the Purchaser had actual knowledge prior to the date hereof of such breach.

(c) For purposes of this Article IX, any breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty; provided, however, that such qualification shall (i) not be read out of any defined term that incorporates such materiality qualification (e.g. “Material Contract”, “Material Customer”, “Material Supplier”) and (ii) not apply to (A) definition of Permitted Liens, (B) Section 4.1(a) and (b) (qualification), (C) Section 4.3 (Conflicts; Consents of Third Parties), (D) Section 4.5 (Financial Statements), (E) Section 4.6 (No Undisclosed Liabilities), (F) Section 4.7 (Absence of Certain Developments), (G) Section 4.8 (Taxes); (I) Section 4.9 (Intellectual Property), (J) definition of Company Intellectual Property, (K) Section 4.10 (Material Contracts), (L) definition of Material Contract, and (M) Section 4.24 (Customers and Suppliers).

9.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Order of Claims. Losses indemnifiable by the Seller pursuant to Section 9.2 shall first be payable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties by wire transfer of

immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from the Escrow Fund. Purchaser shall have the ability to pursue the recovery of Losses in excess of the Escrow Fund from the Purchaser R&W Insurance Policy in accordance with the procedures and subject to the limitations set forth therein.

(b) Non-Third Party Claims Process. The Purchaser Indemnified Party or the Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”) will deliver a written notice (a “Claims Notice”) to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”), and, to the extent such Claim is covered by the Purchaser R&W Insurance Policy, to the Purchaser R&W Insurance Provider, promptly upon its discovery of any matter for which the Indemnifying Party may be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim, which Claims Notice shall (i) describe such claim in reasonable detail and state the amount or estimated amount of Losses, (ii) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates in good faith that it will incur liability for Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) if paid or accrued, state the date such item was paid or accrued, provided, however, that no delay or failure to give such prompt written notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.

9.6 Third Party Claims.

(a) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claims Notice to the Indemnifying Party, as soon as practicable, describing such claim in reasonable detail and stating the amount or estimated amount of such Losses; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of an Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve an Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder unless the Indemnifying Party is thereby actually prejudiced (and then solely to the extent of such prejudice).

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claims Notice, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (and the parties hereby acknowledge that for the purposes of the foregoing it is stipulated that Locke Lord LLP and Mayer Brown LLP are satisfactory). If the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within the time period

set forth in this Section 9.6(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing; (ii) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim; or (iii) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

9.7 Escrow.

(a) Escrow Fund. To provide a fund against which a Purchaser Indemnified Party may assert claims of indemnification under this Article IX (each a “Purchaser Indemnification Claim”), the Escrow Amount shall be deposited into escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement in accordance with Section 2.2(b). The Escrow Fund shall be held and distributed in accordance with this Article IX, Section 2.3 and the Escrow Agreement. Each Purchaser Indemnification Claim shall be made only in accordance with this Article IX, Section 2.3, and the Escrow Agreement provided that Purchaser shall have the ability to pursue the recovery of Losses in excess of the Escrow Fund from the Purchaser R&W Insurance Policy in accordance with the procedures and subject to the limitations set forth therein. A Purchaser Indemnified Party shall seek monetary recourse for Purchaser Indemnification Claims solely as set forth in Section 9.5(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the limitations set forth in this Article IX shall apply to any action for specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedy, provided however, that post-Closing, such actions by Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be limited to enforcement of post-Closing covenants of the Seller.

(b) Reserved Amounts in the Escrow Fund; Release in respect of Claims. In the event any Purchaser Indemnification Claim is made by a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to a Claims Notice delivered to Seller prior to the Final Escrow Release Date, such Purchaser Indemnified Party and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement upon the amount on deposit in the Indemnification Escrow that should be reserved in respect of such Claims Notice (a “Reserved Amount”). If such Persons are unable to reach agreement as to the Reserved Amount by the Final

Release Date, then the Reserved Amount with respect to such Claims Notice shall be the amount in good faith specified by the Purchaser Indemnified Party in the Claims Notice based on the Purchaser Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment. Upon the agreement by the Seller and the Purchaser Indemnified Party or as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in respect of any Claims Notice, any amounts payable with respect to any Losses in a Claims Notice to the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be payable in accordance with Section 9.5(a). Seller and Purchaser shall deliver executed instructions directing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Purchaser such amount.

(i) At the expiration of the Survival Period (the “Final Release Date”), the Seller and the Purchaser shall deliver executed instructions, directing the Escrow Agent to, subject to the terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement, disburse to Seller the remaining portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount which exceeds any Reserved Amounts in respect of Purchaser Indemnification Claims pending, but not yet paid.

(ii) Following the Final Release Date, from time to time, upon resolution of any Claims Notice in respect of any Purchaser Indemnification Claim and the appropriate amount, if any, from the Indemnification Escrow Amount having been paid to the Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of such Claims Notice, the Seller and Purchaser shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Seller the excess of the then-current balance in the Escrow Fund over the aggregate Reserved Amounts in respect of all remaining unresolved Purchaser Indemnification Claims made prior to the Final Release Date, subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(iii) Any Claims by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to any Losses following the expiration of the Final Release Date or the depletion of the Escrow Fund, may also be made against the Purchaser R&W Insurance Policy in accordance with the procedures and subject to the limitations set forth therein.

(d) No Escrow Offsets. Purchaser Indemnified Parties may not offset funds held in or released from (i) the Earnout Escrow against any claims against any Seller Indemnified Party, including Purchaser Indemnification Claims or an adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3, (ii) the Adjustment Escrow against any claims against any Seller Indemnified Party, including Purchaser claims pursuant to Section 7.16 or Purchaser Indemnification Claims or (c) the Indemnification Escrow against any claims against any Seller Indemnified Party, including Purchaser claims pursuant to Section 7.16.

9.8 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication as set forth in Section 9.5(a) or, if payable to a Seller Indemnified Party, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an

Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 4.0%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a calendar year.

9.9 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law, and the parties shall file their Tax Returns accordingly.

9.10 Calculation of Losses.

(a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be net of any amounts (i) actually recovered by any Indemnified Party under insurance policies or any other source of indemnification with respect to such Loss including the Alternative Arrangements, and (ii) accrued on the balance sheet of each of the PEP Companies as of the Closing Date and taken into account in the calculation of the Purchase Price with respect to such Loss, and shall be reduced to take into account any Tax Benefit.

(b) In determining the amount of any indemnification payment for a Loss suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of such Loss shall be decreased to take into account any deduction, credit or other tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss (“Tax Benefits”). In computing the amount of any such Tax Benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss; provided, that, if a Tax Benefit is not realized in or prior to the taxable period during which an Indemnifying Party makes an indemnification payment or the Indemnified Party incurs or pays any Loss, the Indemnified Party shall thereafter make payments to the Indemnifying Party at the end of each subsequent taxable period to reflect the Tax Benefit realized in each such subsequent taxable period. For purposes of clarity, a Tax Benefit shall be treated as realized when it is actually realized or when it is available to be realized through reasonable best efforts taken by the relevant party.

(c) Each Purchaser Indemnified party shall use reasonable best efforts to make any claims for insurance, indemnification and/or other amounts available from third party(ies) with respect to Losses for which it will seek indemnification hereunder and to diligently pursue such claims in good faith. If any such insurance proceeds, indemnification and/or other amounts are received or realized by a Purchaser Indemnified Party after payment by the Seller of any amount otherwise required to be paid to a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall repay to the Seller, promptly after receiving or realizing such insurance proceeds, indemnification and/or other amounts, the amount that the Seller would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article IX had such insurance proceeds, indemnification and/or other amounts been received or realized by the Purchaser Indemnified Party prior to the Seller’s payment under this Article IX.

9.11 Exclusive Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except (a) with respect to any disputes to be resolved under Section 2.3 hereof, (b) for any claim under the terms of the Escrow Agreement, (c) for any claim of Fraud and (d) claims by Purchaser Indemnified Parties against the Purchaser R&W Insurance Policy in accordance with the procedures and subject to the limitations set forth therein, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy, at Law or in equity, with respect to any and all claims for any and all breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement made from and after Closing, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX, (which means, for example, that the survival periods and liability limits set forth in this Article IX shall control notwithstanding any statutory or common law provisions or principles to the contrary). In furtherance of the foregoing, (1) all statutes of limitations or other claims periods with respect to claims for Losses based on the matters that are subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.4 shall be shortened to the applicable claims periods and survival periods set forth in Section 9.1; and (2) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties irrevocably waive any and all rights they may have to make claims against Seller under statutory and common law with respect to any breach of this Agreement by the Seller or the PEP Companies. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims, and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX. Nothing in this Section 9.11 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled for breach of any Closing or post-Closing covenants (including Purchaser’s right to enforce Seller’s obligation to deliver the Shares in connection with the Closing) or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s Fraud. Except for the Seller, no current or former director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, agent, attorney or representative of any of the Sellers, the PEP Companies or their respective Affiliates, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Seller under this Agreement, the Company Documents or any other agreements contemplated hereunder or thereunder, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

9.12 Release.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, each of Purchaser and the PEP Companies (each a “Releasor”), on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, representatives, successors and assigns, hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Seller, and each of its respective past, present or future officers, managers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, Affiliates, employees, counsel and agents (each a “Releasee”) of, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, judgments, debts, dues and suits of

every kind, nature and description whatsoever (collectively “Claims”) which such Releasor or its heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns ever had, now has or may have on or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, arising out of or relating to any circumstance, agreement, activity, action, omission, event or matter related to the PEP Companies or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement occurring or existing, in each case, prior to the date of the Closing whether known or unknown, other than Claims with respect to (i) any rights or claims of Purchaser under this Agreement, any Company Document or any Purchaser Document, including with respect to any breach, non-performance, action or failure to act by Seller or any PEP Company and (ii) any Fraud committed by any Releasee or any of their respective Affiliates (collectively, “Released Claims”). Each Releasor agrees not to, and agrees to cause its respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries not to, assert any Released Claim against any Releasee.

(b) Effective as of the Closing Date, Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, legal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Purchaser, all PEP Companies and each of their current officers and directors (the “Purchaser Related Parties”) of, from and against any and all Claims which Seller, its Affiliates or their heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns ever had, now has or may have on or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, arising out of or relating to any circumstance, agreement, activity, action, omission, event or matter related to the PEP Companies or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement occurring or existing, in each case, prior to the date of the Closing whether known or unknown, other than Claims with respect to (i) any rights or claims of Seller under this Agreement, any Company Document, or any Purchaser Document, including with respect to any breach, non-performance, action or failure to act by Purchaser, (ii) any rights pursuant to or referenced in Section 7.6 (D&O Protections), (iii) PEP Company employee rights to earned but unpaid compensation and rights under employment agreements, or (iv) Claims with respect to the commercial relationships of the PEP Companies in the Ordinary Course of Business (collectively, “Purchaser Released Claims”). Seller agrees not to, and agrees to cause its respective Affiliates not to, assert any Purchaser Released Claim against the Purchaser Related Parties. On or before the date hereof, Seller has delivered to Purchaser releases, in a form acceptable to Purchaser, executed by at least ninety percent (90%) in interest of its holders of Class A Units (x) releasing the Purchaser Related Parties from all Purchaser Related Claims and (y) agreeing not to assert any such claims against such parties.

Business Day for each calendar day between August 24, 2015 and the date on which all of the Company Financing Information is delivered, and provided further, if all of the Company Financing Information is delivered on August 31, 2015, the Company Financing End Date shall be October 16, 2015; (ii) all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.1 have been satisfied (other than any condition the failure of which to be satisfied is attributable to a breach by the Purchaser of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein and other than those conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until Closing but which are fully capable of being satisfied at Closing); (iii) Seller and the Company have confirmed in a written notice to the Purchaser that they are ready, willing and able to perform their obligations to effect the Closing; and (iv) Purchaser fails to fulfill its obligation to effect the Closing within two (2) Business Days of the written notice of the Seller and the Company pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (iii). Acting reasonably and in good faith, Seller and Purchaser shall execute a joint writing in which Seller and Purchaser agree to the date that Seller has delivered the Company Financing Information and, based on the date of such delivery and consistent with the methodology set forth in this paragraph, the date that shall be the Company Financing End Date.

10.2 Procedure Upon Termination. In the event of termination by the Purchaser or the Seller, or both, pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, the terminating party shall forthwith deliver notice thereof to the other party or parties in accordance with Section 11.6, and this Agreement shall terminate and become void and of no effect and no party to this Agreement shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder to any other party hereto (including for costs and expenses incurred by other parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent provided in Section 7.14(b)), except that the obligations of the parties set forth in Sections 7.5, 7.7 and 7.14(b), this Section 10.2 and Article XI hereof shall survive any such termination and shall be enforceable hereunder. In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Seller pursuant to Section 10.1(f) or (g), then the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller as liquidated damages and not as a penalty a fee of Thirty Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($30,750,000) (the “Termination Fee”) in immediately available funds within three (3) Business Days after such termination by the Seller, and the payment by the Purchaser of the Termination Fee shall relieve the Purchaser from all further liability and obligations under this Agreement. The Company, the Seller, and the Purchaser each acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 10.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Company, the Seller, and the Purchaser would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Purchaser fails to timely pay the Termination Fee when due and, in order to obtain such payment, the Seller commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Purchaser for the payment of such Termination Fee, the Purchaser shall pay the Seller its and the Company’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the unpaid Termination Fee at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made to (but excluding) the date such payment was actually received. Without limiting the generality of Section 11.9 hereof, in the event that Purchaser is required to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 10.2 and Purchaser timely pays the full Termination Fee, payment of such fee shall be the sole and exclusive

remedy of Seller, the Company and their Affiliates against Purchaser (other than in connection with the enforcement of the Confidentiality Agreement and reimbursement of expenses of Seller and the PEP Companies pursuant to Section 7.14(b)), the Financing Sources, the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties and any of their respective former, current and future Affiliates, representatives, shareholders, members, managers, partners, successors and assigns for any Losses suffered or incurred as a result of or under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the failure of the Closing to occur and Seller and the Company shall not bring or permit any of their respective Affiliates to bring any action, suit or other proceeding in connection with any such failure of the Closing to occur.

The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

11.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.8 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement except (a) as contemplated by Sections 7.6, 9.2, 9.3, 11.9, 11.11 and 11.12 and (b) the Debt Financing Sources and Debt Financing Sources Related Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, this Section 11.8 and Sections 11.4, 11.5, 11.9 and 11.10. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by the Seller, the Company or Purchaser, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, however that, after the Closing, (i) Purchaser may assign all of its rights to payment under this Agreement for Collateral security purposes to any lender providing financing to Purchaser pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter, but no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of any liability or obligation hereunder and (ii) Seller may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a liquidating trust or similar entity in connection with the liquidation of Seller. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the parties hereto of any such obligations. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

11.9 No Recourse or Personal Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and except, from and after the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action for breach of this Agreement may only be made against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto and no other Person (including, without limitation, any Debt Financing Source and any Debt Financing Sources Related Party) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in

respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith and, subject to the rights of Purchaser and its applicable Affiliates under the Debt Commitment Letter, the parties hereto and their former, current and future Affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives, shareholders, members, successors and assigns, shall not have any rights or claims against, and agree not to commence (and if commenced agree to dismiss or otherwise terminate) any action or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, against any Debt Financing Source or Debt Financing Sources Related Party in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Debt Financing (including any dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof) and neither the Company, Seller nor any of their former, current or future Affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives, shareholders, members, successors and assigns shall be entitled to seek specific performance of any rights of Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof to cause the Debt Financing to be funded.

11.10 Remedies. Subject in all respects to Sections 9.11, 10.2, and 11.9 and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that one of the parties hereto does not perform its obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

11.11 Retention of Advisors. In any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement following the Closing, Seller and its owners shall have the right, at their election, to retain Adler Pollock & Sheehan P.C., Alvarez & Marsal, Locke Lord LLP and/or Mayer Brown LLP to represent them in such matter, even if such representation shall be adverse to Purchaser and/or the PEP Companies. Purchaser and the PEP Companies, for themselves and for their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably consent to any such representation in any such matter. Purchaser and the PEP Companies, for themselves and for their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably waive any actual or potential conflict arising from any such representation in the event of: (1) any adversity between the interests of

Seller and its owners on the one hand and Purchaser and the PEP Companies on the other hand, in any such matter; (2) any communication between Adler Pollock & Sheehan P.C., Locke Lord LLP and/or Mayer Brown LLP and any PEP Company, its Affiliates or employees, whether privileged or not, or any other information known to such counsel, by reason of such counsel’s representation of any of the PEP Companies prior to Closing; and/or (3) any communication between Alvarez & Marsal and any PEP Company, its Affiliates or employees, whether privileged or not, or any other information known to such advisor, by reason of such advisor’s representation of any of the PEP Companies prior to Closing.

11.12 Protected Communication. The parties to this Agreement agree that, immediately prior to the Closing, without the need for any further action (a) all right, title and interest of any PEP Company in and to all Protected Communications shall thereupon transfer to and be vested solely in Seller and its successors in interest, and (b) any and all protections from disclosure, including, but not limited to, attorney client privileges and work product protections, associated with or arising from any Protected Communications that would have been exercisable by any PEP Company shall thereupon be vested exclusively in Seller and its successors in interest and shall be exercised or waived solely as directed by Seller or its successors in interest. None of the PEP Companies, Purchaser or any Person acting on any of their behalf shall, without the prior written consent of Seller or its successors in interest, assert or waive or attempt to assert or waive any such protection against disclosure, including, but not limited to, the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, or to discover, obtain, use or disclose or attempt to discover, obtain, use or disclose any Protected Communications in any manner, including in connection with any dispute or legal proceeding relating to or in connection with this Agreement, the events and negotiations leading to this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated herein, provided, however, the foregoing shall neither prohibit Purchaser from seeking proper discovery of such documents nor Seller from asserting that such documents are not discoverable to the extent that applicable attorney client privileges and work product protections have attached thereto. Seller and its successors in interest shall have the right at any time prior to or following the Closing to remove, erase, delete, disable, copy or otherwise deal with any Protected Communications in whatever way they desire, and the Companies and Purchaser shall provide full access to all Protected Communications in their possession or within their direct or indirect control and shall provide reasonable assistance at the expense of the Person requesting such assistance in order to give full force and effect to the rights of Seller and its successors in interest hereunder.

11.13 No Waiver of Privilege, Protection from Disclosure or Use. The parties hereto understand and agree that nothing in this Agreement, including the foregoing provisions regarding the assertions of protection from disclosure and use, privilege and conflicts of interest, shall be deemed to be a waiver of any applicable attorney-client privilege or other protection from disclosure or use. Each of the parties understands and agrees that it has undertaken reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of Protected Communications. Notwithstanding those efforts, the parties understand and agree that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement could result in the inadvertent disclosure of information that may be confidential, eligible to be subject to a

claim of privilege, or otherwise protected from disclosure. The parties further understand and agree that any disclosure of information that may be confidential, subject to a claim of privilege, or otherwise protected from disclosure will not constitute a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any claim of confidentiality, privilege, or protection from disclosure, including, but not limited to, with respect to information involving or concerning the same subject matter as the disclosed information. The parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to return any inadvertently disclosed information to the disclosing party promptly upon becoming aware of its existence. The parties further agree that promptly after the return of any inadvertently disclosed information, the party returning such information shall destroy any and all copies, summaries, descriptions and/or notes of such inadvertently disclosed information, including electronic versions thereof, and all portions of larger documents or communications that contain such copies, summaries, descriptions or notes.

11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile or PDF file, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

11.15 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties set forth in the Facilities Documentation relating to organizational existence of the Borrower and the Guarantors (as defined in the Term Sheets) and good standing of the Borrower and each Guarantor in their respective jurisdictions of organization; organizational power and authority and due authorization, execution and delivery, in each case, as they relate to entering into and performance of the Facilities Documentation; enforceability of the Facilities Documentation; no conflicts with or consent under organizational documents of the Borrower and the Guarantors or material laws, in each case, as they relate to the entering into and performance of the Facilities Documentation; solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; use of proceeds; subject to the parenthetical in the immediately preceding sentence, creation, validity, priority (subject to permitted liens) and perfection of security interests in the Collateral (provided, that, creation, validity, priority and perfection of security interests in the Collateral shall not be a Specified Representation with respect to the Bridge Loan Facility); Federal Reserve margin regulations; OFAC; the USA PATRIOT Act; FCPA; and the Investment Company Act.

This paragraph, and the provisions contained herein, shall be referred to as the “Limited Conditionality Provision.”

4. Syndication.

(a) The Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication of the Facilities promptly upon your acceptance of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter. You agree, until the Syndication Assistance Termination Date (as hereinafter defined), to actively assist, to cause your subsidiaries to actively assist, and to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target and its subsidiaries to actively assist, the Lead Arrangers in achieving a syndication of the Facilities that is satisfactory to us and you. Such assistance shall include your (i) providing and causing your advisors, and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause advisors of the Target, to provide the Commitment Parties upon request with all information reasonably deemed necessary by the Lead Arrangers to complete syndication, including, but not limited to, information and evaluations prepared by you, the Target and your and its advisors, or on your or its behalf, relating to the Transactions (including the Projections (as hereinafter defined), the “Information”), (ii) assisting in the preparation of confidential information memoranda and other materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (collectively with the Term Sheets

- 5 -

(“S&P”), and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), respectively, together with ratings and recovery ratings for the Senior Credit Facilities, for the Notes, and if reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers, for the Bridge Loan Facility, from such rating agencies, in each case, prior to the Marketing Period Commencement Date and to participate actively in the process of securing such ratings, including having your senior management and (to the extent reasonable and practical) appropriate members of management of the Target meet with such rating agencies, and (v) otherwise assisting the Lead Arrangers in their syndication efforts, including by making your officers and advisors and the officers and advisors of the Target and its subsidiaries available from time to time to attend and make presentations regarding the business and prospects of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, as appropriate, at one or more meetings of prospective Lenders.

(b) It is understood and agreed that KBCM will manage and control all aspects of the syndication with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities, and STRH will manage and control all aspects of the syndication with respect to the Bridge Loan Facility, in each case in consultation with you and the other Lead Arrangers, including decisions as to the selection of prospective Lenders and any titles offered to proposed Lenders, when commitments will be accepted and the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders. Subject to clause (c) below and effective only upon the funding of the Facilities (or in the case of the Bridge Loan Facility, the issuance of Notes in lieu thereof) on the Closing Date, in connection with the syndication of each of the Facilities, as each new Lender is added to any Facility, the commitments of each of KeyBank, SunTrust Bank and Regions to such Facility shall be reduced pro rata based on their respective commitments to such Facility. It is understood that no Lender participating in the Facilities will receive compensation from you in order to obtain its commitment, except on the terms contained herein and in the applicable Term Sheet. It is also understood and agreed that the amount and distribution of the fees among the Lenders will be at the sole and absolute discretion of the Lead Arrangers.

(c) Notwithstanding the right of the Lead Arrangers to syndicate the Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto or to assign their respective commitments hereunder, (i) no Initial Senior Lender and no Initial Bridge Loan Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder, including its obligation to fund its commitment to the respective applicable Facilities on the Closing Date, in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of any of such Facilities, including its commitment in respect thereof, until funding of such Facilities (or, in the case of the Bridge Loan Facility, the issuance of Notes in lieu thereof) on the Closing Date and (ii) each Initial Senior Lender and each Initial Bridge Loan Lender shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the respective applicable Facilities, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred, in each case unless you otherwise agree in writing. Without limiting your obligations to assist with the syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the commitments of the Initial Senior Lenders and the Initial Bridge Loan Lenders hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of the Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of the syndication of the Facilities, nor your compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4 or any other provision of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Facilities Documentation (in each case, other than the provisions of the Conditions Annex), constitute a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date.

- 6 -

(d) The provisions of this Section 4 shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest of (i) 90 days following the Closing Date, (ii) the later of (x) completion of a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) on or after the Closing Date, and (y) the completion of a Successful Bridge Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) on or after the Closing Date, and (iii) the termination of this Commitment Letter pursuant to the last paragraph hereof other than as a result of the occurrence of the Closing Date (the “Syndication Assistance Termination Date”).

(e) In consideration of the time and resources that the Commitment Parties will devote to the Facilities, you agree that, until the occurrence of the Syndication Assistance Termination Date, you will not, and will cause your subsidiaries (after giving effect to the Acquisition) not to, solicit, initiate, entertain or permit, or enter into any discussions in respect of, any offering, placement or arrangement of any competing indebtedness or bank financing by, or on behalf of, the Borrower, the Target or any of their respective subsidiaries.

MATURITY:		The Initial Term Loans shall be subject to repayment according to the Scheduled Amortization (as defined below), with the final payment of all amounts outstanding, plus accrued interest, being due seven (7) years after the Closing Date.

		The final maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility will occur on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “*Revolving Credit Maturity Date*”), and the commitments with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility will automatically terminate on such date.

SCHEDULED AMORTIZATION:		The Initial Term Loan will be subject to quarterly amortization of principal equal to (a) on the last day of each fiscal quarter after the Closing Date (commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter after the fiscal quarter in which the Closing Date occurs), 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the Initial Term Loan and (b) on the maturity date for the Initial Term Loan, all remaining outstanding principal amounts, in each case as adjusted for any optional or mandatory prepayments (collectively, the “*Scheduled Amortization*”).

MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS:		In addition to the amortization set forth above, (a) commencing with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016 (and for each fiscal year thereafter), 50% of Excess Cash Flow (to be defined in the loan documentation) and with leverage-based step-downs to 25% when the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio (to be defined in the loan documentation) is less than 3.00x but greater than or equal to 2.50x, and 0% when the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio is less than 2.50x), provided that voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan Facility made during such fiscal year shall reduce Excess Cash Flow payments on a dollar-for-dollar basis for such applicable fiscal year (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any voluntary prepayments funded with indebtedness), (b) 100% of all net cash proceeds from sales of property and assets and insurance and condemnation events of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (excluding asset sales in the ordinary course of business and other thresholds and exceptions to be agreed upon in the loan documentation), subject to reinvestment in other assets useful in the business of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries within 365 days of such sale or insurance and condemnation event or, if so committed to reinvestment pursuant to a legally binding contract within such 365-day period, reinvested within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period; and (c) 100% of all net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence after the Closing Date of additional debt of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries to the extent not permitted under the loan documentation shall, in each case of clauses (a) through (c) above, be applied to the prepayment of the Senior Credit Facilities. Mandatory prepayments shall

		be applied first, to the next four scheduled amortization payments of the Term Loan Facility in direct order and thereafter to the remaining scheduled amortization payments of the Term Loan Facility on a pro rata basis and then to the Revolving Credit Facility (without a permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder).

		In addition, if for any reason the outstandings under the Revolving Credit Facility exceed the lesser of the maximum amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower shall, no later than the next business day, prepay the loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS:		The Initial Term Loans may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty (other than as set forth in the section entitled “Call Protection” below), subject to reimbursement of the Term Loan Lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in the case of prepayment of LIBOR borrowings.

CALL PROTECTION:		Notwithstanding the foregoing section, if on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, a Repricing Event (as defined below) occurs, the Borrower will pay a premium (the “*Call Premium*”) in an amount equal to 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loan that is subject to such Repricing Event.

		As used herein, the term “*Repricing Event*” shall mean (a) any prepayment or repayment of the Initial Term Loan (or any portion thereof) with the proceeds of, or any conversion of the Initial Term Loan (or any portion thereof) into, any new or replacement loans or similar bank indebtedness bearing interest with an “effective yield” (taking into account, for example, upfront fees, interest rate spreads, interest rate benchmark floors and OID) less than the “effective yield” applicable to the Initial Term Loan subject to such event (as such comparative yields are determined by the Administrative Agent) and (b) any amendment to the loan documentation which reduces the “effective yield” applicable to all or a portion of Initial Term Loan (it being understood that any Call Premium with respect to a Repricing Event shall apply to any required assignment by a non-consenting Term Loan Lender in connection with any such amendment pursuant to so-called “yank-a-bank” provisions).

		Overdue principal, interest, fees and other amounts shall bear interest at the applicable Interest Rate plus 2.00% per annum.

MATURITY:		The Extended Term Loans will mature on the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date.

Exchange Notes

At any time on or after the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, upon five or more business days’ prior notice, the Extended Term Loans may, at the option of any Lender, be exchanged for a principal amount of Exchange Notes equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans so exchanged (plus any accrued interest thereon not required to be paid in cash). The Borrower will issue Exchange Notes under an indenture (the “Indenture”) that complies with the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Borrower will appoint a trustee acceptable to the Lenders.


INTEREST RATE:		Each Exchange Note will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Total Cap.

		Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears. Default interest will be payable on demand.

		Overdue principal, interest, fees and other amounts shall bear interest at the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum.

MATURITY:		The Exchange Notes will mature on the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION:		Exchange Notes will be non-callable until the third anniversary of the Closing Date (subject to a 35% “equity clawback” provision customary

		for publicly traded high yield debt securities). Thereafter, each Exchange Note will be callable at par plus accrued interest plus a premium equal to 75% of the coupon on such Exchange Note, which premium shall decline to 50%, then to 25% and then to zero, on each of the next three succeeding anniversaries of the Closing Date.

CHANGE OF CONTROL:		The Borrower will be required to offer to repurchase the Exchange Notes following the occurrence of a “change of control” (to be defined in a manner customary for publicly traded high yield debt securities) at 101% of the outstanding principal amount thereof.

DEFEASANCE PROVISIONS:		Customary for publicly traded high yield debt securities.

COVENANTS:		Customary for publicly traded high yield debt securities.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT:		Customary for publicly traded high yield debt securities.

MODIFICATION:		Customary for publicly traded high yield debt securities.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS:		Within 270 days after the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, the Borrower shall file a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause such shelf registration statement to be declared effective within 90 days of such filing and to keep such shelf registration statement effective, with respect to resales of the Exchange Notes, for as long as it is required or requested by the holders to resell the Exchange Notes. Upon failure to comply with the requirements of the registration rights agreement (a “*Registration Default*”), the Borrower shall pay liquidated damages to each holder of Exchange Notes with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default in an amount equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the principal amount of Exchange Notes held by such holder. The amount of the liquidated damages will increase by an additional one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the principal amount of Exchange Notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated damages for all Registration Defaults of 1.0% per annum. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of liquidated damages payable hereunder is in addition (and not otherwise subject) to any other interest rate caps or limitations contained in the Fee Letter or otherwise.
