EXCHANGE

4.1 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) Initial Merger. At the Initial Effective Time, as a result of the Initial Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub I:

(i) Merger Consideration. Each share of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Founder Shares (the “Shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time (other than (x) Shares owned by any of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and the Company, (y) Shares that are owned by shareholders (“Dissenting Shareholders”) who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (each such Share referred to in clauses (x) and (y) above, an “Excluded Share” and, collectively, “Excluded Shares”) and (z) Shares owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or Parent (other than Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II) (each such Share referred to in clause (z), a “Subsidiary-Owned Share”)) shall be converted into the right to receive (A) the Per Share Cash Amount without interest (the “Cash Consideration”) and (B) 0.305 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of common stock, $0.01 par value, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) per Share, subject to Section 4.2(i) with respect to fractional shares (the “Stock Consideration” and, together with the Cash Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.2(i), the “Merger Consideration”). At the Initial Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and (1) each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares or Subsidiary-Owned Shares) and (2) each book-entry account formerly representing any uncertificated Shares (“Uncertificated Shares”) (other than Excluded Shares or Subsidiary-Owned Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, each Certificate and Uncertificated Share formerly representing Subsidiary-Owned Shares shall represent only the right to receive an amount of Parent Common Stock referred to in Section 4.1(a)(iii), and each Certificate and Uncertificated Share formerly representing Shares owned by Dissenting Shareholders shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the payment of which reference is made in Section 4.3.

(ii) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Subject to Section 4.3, each Excluded Share shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(iii) Conversion of Subsidiary-Owned Shares. Each Subsidiary-Owned Share shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded to the nearest share) equal to (A) the Exchange Ratio plus (B) the quotient of (x) the Cash Consideration divided by (y) the last reported sale price of Parent Common Stock on the NYSE (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually selected by Parent and the Company) on the last complete trading day prior to the date of the Initial Effective Time. As promptly as practicable following the Initial Effective Time, Parent shall make arrangements for the surrender and cancellation of any Certificates formerly representing Subsidiary-Owned Shares and for the delivery to each holder of Subsidiary-Owned Shares of the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock into which the aggregate number of Subsidiary-Owned Shares held by each such holder shall have been converted pursuant to this Section 4.1(a)(iii).

(iv) Merger Sub I. Each common share, $0.01 par value, of Merger Sub I issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time shall be converted into one common share, $0.01 par value, of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Corporation Share”).

(b) Subsequent Merger. At the Subsequent Effective Time, as a result of the Subsequent Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or Merger Sub II (i) the limited liability company interests of Merger Sub II issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Subsequent Effective Time shall be converted into the limited liability company interests of the Surviving Company and (ii) the Surviving Corporation Share shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

4.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the transfer agent for the Parent common stock (or, if such Person is unwilling or unable to serve in such capacity, another paying and exchange agent selected by Parent with the Company’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (the “Paying Agent”), (i) an aggregate amount of cash, for the benefit of the holders of Shares (other than the Excluded Shares and the Subsidiary-Owned Shares), comprising the amount of Cash

Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i) in respect of Shares (other than the Excluded Shares and the Subsidiary-Owned Shares), (ii) an aggregate number of uncertificated, book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock, for the benefit of the holders of Shares (other than the Excluded Shares and the Subsidiary-Owned Shares), comprising the number of shares of Stock Consideration required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i) in respect of Shares (other than the Excluded Shares and the Subsidiary-Owned Shares) (such cash and uncertificated, book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) and (iii) make available to the Surviving Company, for the benefit of the holders of the Warrants, cash and shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to make payment of the amounts payable with respect to the Alternative Issuance (to the extent such amounts are payable). The Paying Agent shall invest the cash portion of Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided that (A) such investments shall be an obligation of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers’ acceptances of commercial banks and (B) no such investment (or losses thereon) shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Shares pursuant to Section 4.1(a). To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt cash payment of the Cash Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall as promptly as practicable replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund lost through such investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make such cash payments. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, Parent shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which confirmation of satisfaction shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to effect the applicable terms of this Agreement.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Initial Effective Time (and in any event within four (4) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Certificates (other than Excluded Shares and the Subsidiary-Owned Shares) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”) in customary form with such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Initial Merger and the conversion of its Shares into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 4.2(e)) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 4.2(e)) and for receiving the Merger Consideration. As soon as reasonably practicable upon the delivery of a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of the

Letter of Transmittal, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of full shares of Stock Consideration (which shall be in uncertificated, book-entry form) and the amount of Cash Consideration (together with any amounts to be paid in respect of any dividends or other distributions to which holders are entitled pursuant to Section 4.2(h) and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.2(i)), into which the aggregate number of Shares formerly represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i) (and in each case, after giving effect to any required Tax withholding provided in Section 4.2(f)) and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable in connection with the Mergers, including the Merger Consideration. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued and/or paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer or similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, Governmental Entity or other entity of any kind or nature.

(c) Transfers. From and after the Initial Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time. From and after the Initial Effective Time, the holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect to Shares formerly represented thereby, except as otherwise provided herein or by Law.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the former shareholders of the Company for one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the Initial Effective Time shall be delivered, at Parent’s option, to Parent. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of any payment of cash (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(f)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 4.2(e)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Company, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, immediately prior to the date any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, such Merger Consideration shall become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by the Paying Agent or Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, the Paying Agent or the Surviving Company with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration that would have been issuable or payable pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(f)) had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

(f) Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts (i) shall, to the extent required by applicable Law, be remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Any applicable Taxes required to be deducted or withheld shall first reduce the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, and then, only if the cash portion of the Merger Consideration is insufficient to satisfy such Tax withholdings, the stock portion of the Merger Consideration.

(g) Uncertificated Shares. Promptly after the Initial Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to (i) mail to each holder of Uncertificated Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Subsidiary-Owned Shares) materials advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Initial Merger and the conversion of its Shares into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and (ii) deliver to each holder of Uncertificated Shares (other than Excluded Shares and the Subsidiary-Owned Shares) the number of full shares of Stock Consideration (which shall be in uncertificated, book-entry form) and the amount of Cash Consideration, into which the aggregate number of Uncertificated Shares held by each such holder shall have been converted pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i) (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(f)), without interest thereon.

(h) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Certificates. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Initial Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder would be entitled

to receive upon surrender of such Certificate. Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate in accordance with Section 4.2(b), there shall be paid to such holder of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable as Stock Consideration in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly after the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Initial Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Initial Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock.

(i) No Fractional Shares of Parent Common Stock. No certificates or scrip representing less than one share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of a Share converted pursuant to Section 4.1(a) who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account Shares held by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the last reported sale price of Parent Common Stock on the NYSE (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually selected by Parent and the Company) on the last complete trading day prior to the date of the Initial Effective Time.

(j) No Further Ownership Rights in the Shares. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued and cash paid upon conversion of the Shares (including the Founder Shares) in accordance with the terms of this Article IV shall be deemed to have been issued or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares (including the Founder Shares).

4.3 Dissenters’ Rights. No Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive cash pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV unless and until the holder thereof shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to dissent from the Initial Merger under the DGCL, and any Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to Shares owned by such Dissenting Shareholder. If any Person who otherwise would be deemed a Dissenting Shareholder shall have failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent under Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that the Dissenting Shareholder is not entitled to relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any Shares, such Shares shall thereupon be treated as though such Shares had been converted, as of the Initial Effective Time, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest and less any required Tax withholding. The Company shall give Parent (a) prompt written notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law received by the Company relating to shareholders’ rights of appraisal and (b) the opportunity to direct all

negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily offer to make or make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

4.4 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that either party changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such Shares, in each case issued and outstanding prior to the Initial Effective Time as a result of a stock distribution, reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision, or other similar transaction undertaken in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of such event on the Merger Consideration.

4.5 Treatment of Founder Shares. At the Initial Effective Time, each Founder Share and all restrictions in respect thereof, shall, by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, cease to exist, and each Founder Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i) in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article IV.

4.6 Treatment of Company Warrants. The holders of the Warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time shall, following the Initial Effective Time, have the right to purchase from the Surviving Company the Alternative Issuance (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and the Warrant Agreement.

(c) Corporate Authority and Approval; Financial Advisor Opinions. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the Company’s corporate powers and, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company except for obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval (as defined below) and the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of the State of Delaware, and no other corporate action on the part of the Company is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby. The adoption of this Agreement by a majority of the outstanding Shares at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company or by written consent of shareholders in lieu of a meeting is the only vote of the holders of any of the Company’s capital stock necessary in connection with the consummation of the Mergers (the “Company Shareholder Approval”). As of the date hereof, the Written Consent Parties collectively hold, in the aggregate, at least 51,708,944 Shares. Upon the execution and delivery of the Shareholder Written Consent by the Written Consent Parties in accordance with Section 6.4(c), the Company Shareholder Approval shall have been obtained. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”). As of the date of this Agreement, the board of directors of the Company has unanimously (i) (A) determined that the Mergers are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders, (B) approved the Mergers, (C) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and (D) subject to Section 6.2, resolved to recommend the adoption of this Agreement to the holders of the Shares (the “Company

any agreement, lease, license, contract, consent, settlement, note, mortgage, indenture, arrangement, understanding or other obligation (“Contracts”) binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby) the filings, notices, reports, consents, registrations, approvals, permits, expirations of waiting periods and authorizations referred to in Section 5.1(d)(i) are made or obtained and receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, under any Law, Order or License to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject or (C) any change in the rights or obligations under any Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, except, in the case of clauses (B) and (C) above, for any such breach, violation, default, termination, modification, payment, acceleration, creation or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2(e), upon the occurrence of any Company Intervening Event, the Company’s board of directors may, at any time prior to (x) the time the Support Agreements are delivered and executed in accordance with Section 6.4(a) or (y) in the event of a Company Shareholder Meeting Election following a Support Agreement Failure, the time the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained, make a Company Change in Recommendation if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Company Intervening Event and the rationale for the Company Change in Recommendation and (2) state expressly that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company’s board of directors has determined to effect a Company Change in Recommendation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (B) prior to making such a Company Change in Recommendation, engaged in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to engage) during such five (5)-Business Day period to negotiate and consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in such a manner that the failure of the Company’s board of directors to make a Company Change in Recommendation in response to the Company Intervening Event in accordance with clause (ii) below would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(ii) the Company’s board of directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that in light of such Company Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms proposed by Parent, the failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(h) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal or state Law with regard to a Company Acquisition Proposal; provided that this paragraph (h) shall not be deemed to permit the Company or the Company’s board of directors to effect a Company Change in Recommendation except in accordance with Section 6.2(f).

6.3 Parent Acquisition Proposals.

(a) No Solicitation or Negotiation. Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.3, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees not to, and shall instruct, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, its and their respective Representatives not to:

(ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding any Parent Acquisition Proposal;

(iii) provide any non-public information or data concerning the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person in connection with any Parent Acquisition Proposal; or

(iv) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, lease agreement or other agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.3(b) entered into in compliance with this Section 6.2(a)) relating to any Parent Acquisition Proposal (a “Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

Parent shall, and Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, (A) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions and negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Parent Acquisition Proposal, or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, (B) promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours of the execution of this Agreement) terminate access by any third Person to any physical or electronic data room relating to any Parent Acquisition Proposal, or any proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, and (C) except as otherwise directed by the Company, promptly (and, in any event, within seventy-two (72) hours of the execution of this Agreement) request the prompt return or destruction of any confidential information provided to any third Person within the nine (9) months immediately

preceding the date of this Agreement in connection with any Parent Acquisition Proposal, or any proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.2(a) to the contrary, Parent shall not grant any waiver or release under, or fail to enforce, any standstill or similar agreement; provided that, prior to the time the Parent Shareholder Approval is obtained, the foregoing shall not restrict Parent from permitting a Person to request the waiver of a “standstill” or similar obligation or from granting such a waiver, in each case, if the Parent’s board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Parent shall provide written notice to the Company of any waiver or release of any standstill by Parent, including the disclosure of the identity of the party thereto and a summary of the material circumstances related thereto.

(b) Fiduciary Exception to No Solicitation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2(a), prior to, but not after, the time the Parent Shareholder Approval is obtained, Parent may, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Parent Acquisition Proposal which Parent Acquisition Proposal was made after the date of this Agreement and did not result from a breach of Section 6.2(a), (i) provide access to non-public information regarding Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to the Person who made such Parent Acquisition Proposal; provided that such information has previously been made available to the Company or is provided to the Company substantially concurrently with the time such information is made available to such Person and that, prior to furnishing any such material non-public information, Parent receives from the Person making such Parent Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement with terms at least as restrictive in all material respects on such Person as the Confidentiality Agreement’s terms are on the Company, and (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person regarding such Parent Acquisition Proposal (subject to promptly and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, notifying the Company of the status and material details thereof, including providing copies of any documentation that is material to such Parent Acquisition Proposal) if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, Parent’s board of directors determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that (A) based on the information then available and after consultation with an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation that such Parent Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Parent Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c) Notice. At any time prior to the Closing, Parent shall promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) notify the Company if (i) any written or other bona fide inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to a Parent Acquisition Proposal are received by Parent, (ii) any non-public information is requested in connection with any Parent Acquisition Proposal from Parent or (iii) any discussions or negotiation with respect to a Parent Acquisition

Proposal are sought to be initiated or continued with Parent, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and, without limiting Section 6.2(a), Parent shall advise the Company if Parent determines to begin providing information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning any Parent Acquisition Proposal and thereafter shall keep the Company informed, on a current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations.

(d) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

“Parent Intervening Event” means a material effect that was not known to, or reasonably foreseeable by, the board of directors of Parent prior to the execution of this Agreement (or if known or reasonably foreseeable, the material consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable), which effect, or any material consequence thereof, becomes known to, or reasonably foreseeable by, the board of directors of Parent prior to the time the Parent Shareholder Approval is obtained; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the receipt, existence or terms of a Parent Acquisition Proposal or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof constitute a Parent Intervening Event and (ii) in no event shall any event or events that has or have an adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets, business or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, constitute a Parent Intervening Event unless such event or events has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Plastics Material Adverse Effect.

(e) No Parent Change in Recommendation or Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Except as provided in Section 6.3(f) and Section 6.3(g), Parent’s board of directors and each committee of Parent’s board of directors shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify) the Parent Recommendation or approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable any Parent Acquisition Proposal, or make or authorize the making of any public statement (oral or written) that has the substantive effect of such a withdrawal, qualification or modification, (ii) fail to include the Parent Recommendation in the Parent Proxy Statement or (iii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to enter into a Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement (any of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Parent Change in Recommendation”).

(f) Fiduciary Exception to Company Change in Recommendation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.3(e), following receipt of a written Parent Acquisition Proposal by Parent after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.3 and Parent’s board of directors determining in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Parent Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal, Parent’s board of directors may, at any time prior to the time the Parent Shareholder Approval is obtained, make a Parent Change in Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.3(f)(ii), if all of the following conditions are met:

Agreement and all other documents (other than immaterial documents) related to such Parent Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term or condition of such Parent Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional three (3)-Business Day period) and (3) that, subject to clause (ii) below, Parent’s board of directors has determined to effect a Parent Change in Recommendation, and (B) prior to making such a Parent Change in Recommendation, (x) engaged in good faith with the Company (to the extent the Company wishes to engage) during such notice period to negotiate and consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Parent Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal, and (y) in determining whether to make a Parent Change in Recommendation, the board of directors of Parent shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by the Company and any other information provided by the Company in response to such notice; and

(ii) Parent’s board of directors shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Parent Acquisition Proposal and taking into account any revised terms proposed by the Company, such Parent Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal and that the failure to make such Parent Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g) Parent Change in Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.3(e), upon the occurrence of any Parent Intervening Event, Parent’s board of directors may, at any time prior to the time the Parent Shareholder Approval is obtained, make a Parent Change in Recommendation if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) Parent shall have (A) provided to the Company five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Parent Intervening Event and the rationale for the Parent Change in Recommendation and (2) state expressly that, subject to clause (ii) below, Parent’s board of directors has determined to effect a Parent Change in Recommendation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (B) prior to making such a Parent Change in Recommendation, engaged in good faith with the Company (to the extent the Company wishes to engage) during such five (5)-Business Day period to negotiate and consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in such a manner that the failure of Parent’s board of directors to make a Parent Change in Recommendation in response to the Parent Intervening Event in accordance with clause (ii) below would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(ii) Parent’s board of directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that in light of such Parent Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms proposed by the Company, the failure to make a Parent Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(h) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to prohibit Parent from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal or state Law with regard to a Parent Acquisition Proposal; provided that this paragraph (h) shall not be deemed to permit Parent or Parent’s board of directors to effect a Parent Change in Recommendation except in accordance with Section 6.3(f).

6.4 Shareholder Written Consent; Company Shareholder Meeting; Preparation of the Consent Solicitation Statement and/or Proxy Statement and Registration Statement.

(a) The Company will use reasonable best efforts to cause the Written Consent Parties to execute and deliver in accordance with Section 9.6 to the Company and Parent their respective Support Agreements within twenty-four (24) hours after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto. If the Support Agreements are not executed and delivered in accordance with this Section 6.4(a) within such twenty-four (24)-hour period after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto (a “Support Agreement Failure”), Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.4(c).

(b) Parent and the Company shall cooperate to prepare and file as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof a registration statement on Form S-4 or other applicable form (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by Parent with the SEC pursuant to which shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in the Initial Merger will be registered with the SEC, which shall contain (i) (A) if the Support Agreements are executed and delivered in accordance with Section 6.4(a), a consent solicitation statement in connection with the solicitation by the Company of written consents from the holders of the Shares to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”) in preliminary form of the type contemplated by Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, prepared by the Company in consultation with Parent and its counsel as provided in Section 6.4(f) or (B) in the event of a Company Shareholder Meeting Election, a proxy statement in connection with the solicitation by the Company of proxies from the holders of the Shares to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Proxy Statement”) in preliminary form of the type contemplated by Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act in consultation with Parent and its counsel as provided in Section 6.6 and (ii) a proxy statement in connection with the solicitation by Parent of proxies from the holders of the shares of Parent Common Stock to obtain the Parent Shareholder Approval (the “Parent Proxy Statement”) in preliminary form of the type contemplated by Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act in consultation with the Company and its counsel as provided in Section 6.6, in all cases describing this Agreement, the Mergers, the Parent Share Issuance and the other transactions contemplated hereby. In the event of a Company Shareholder Meeting Election, the Company Proxy

Statement shall include, subject to Section 6.2, the Company Recommendation, and any resolution required by Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Merger Materials” shall mean the Registration Statement, including the prospectus forming a part thereof and the Consent Solicitation Statement or the Company Proxy Statement, as applicable, and the Parent Proxy Statement, and any amendment thereto.

(c) If the Support Agreements are executed and delivered in accordance with Section 6.4(a), in lieu of calling a meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the Company shall provide a form of shareholder written consent to the Company’s shareholders as promptly as practicable following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective (and, in the case of the Written Consent Parties, within twenty-four (24) hours of the Registration Statement becoming effective). The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Written Consent Parties to duly execute and deliver shareholder written consents substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Shareholder Written Consent”) in respect of the Shares beneficially owned by each such Written Consent party (which represent more than a majority of the outstanding Shares) in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL within twenty-four (24) hours of the Registration Statement becoming effective. As promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of the Shareholder Written Consent by the Written Consent Parties to the Company, the Company shall deliver to Parent a copy of such Shareholder Written Consent in accordance with Section 9.6 of this Agreement. In connection with the Shareholder Written Consent, the Company shall take all actions necessary to comply, and shall comply in all material respects, with applicable Law and applicable legal requirements, including Section 228 and Section 262 of the DGCL, the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company Bylaws and the Exchange Act, including Regulation 14C and Schedule 14C promulgated thereunder, as applicable. If the Written Consent Parties fail to deliver their Shareholder Written Consents to the Company within twenty-four (24) hours of the Registration Statement becoming effective (a “Written Consent Failure”), Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.4(c). In the event of a Written Consent Failure, the Company shall, if and only if Parent makes a Company Shareholder Meeting Election, cooperate with Parent to amend the Registration Statement as promptly as practicable following such Written Consent Failure to include a Company Proxy Statement instead of a Consent Solicitation Statement.

(d) Without prejudice to Parent’s rights or ability to seek and obtain specific enforcement under the Support Agreements of the Written Consent Parties’ obligation to execute and deliver the Shareholder Written Consent, in the event of a Support Agreement Failure or a Written Consent Failure, if Parent does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4(c) and if Parent so requests within seventy-two (72) hours of either a Support Agreement Failure or Written Consent Failure, as applicable (and, for the avoidance of doubt, only if Parent so requests) (such a request, following a Support Agreement Failure or a Written Consent Failure, a

“Company Shareholder Meeting Election”), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective, cause a meeting of its shareholders (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”) to be duly called and held as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.3(c) during the pendency of any suit by Parent seeking to enforce the Support Agreements following a Written Consent Failure. In such event, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval at the Company Shareholder Meeting and otherwise comply with Law and all legal requirements applicable to such meeting, including the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company and the Exchange Act, including Regulation 14A and Schedule 14A promulgated thereunder, as applicable.

(e) Parent shall, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective, cause a meeting of its shareholders (the “Parent Shareholder Meeting”) to be duly called and held as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Shareholder Approval and, unless a Parent Change in Recommendation shall have occurred, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Parent Shareholder Approval at the Parent Shareholder Meeting. Parent shall comply with Law and all legal requirements applicable to such meeting, including the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent and the Exchange Act, including Regulation 14A and Schedule 14A promulgated thereunder, as applicable. Parent shall include, subject to Section 6.3, the Parent Recommendation in the Parent Proxy Statement.

(f) The Company and Parent shall each use its reasonable best efforts to promptly provide responses to the SEC with respect to all comments received on Merger Materials from the SEC and each of the Company and Parent shall cause the definitive Merger Materials to be mailed to their respective shareholders as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes effective. Each party shall furnish all information concerning it and its Affiliates to the other party and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the other party to be included in the Merger Materials and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other party in the preparation of the Merger Materials and the resolution of any comments received from the SEC. If any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Merger Materials so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by

and in compliance with applicable Law, disseminated to the shareholders of the Company and Parent. The Company shall notify Parent promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Merger Materials or for additional information and shall supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Merger Materials or the Mergers. No response to any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC relating to the Merger Materials will be made by the Company without providing Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon unless pursuant to a telephone call initiated by the SEC.

6.5 Filings; Other Actions; Notification.

(a) The Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other and use, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use, their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws and Orders to consummate and make effective the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as expeditiously as practicable, including (i) preparing and filing all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings (and in any event, by filing within twenty (20) Business Days after the date of this Agreement the notifications required to be filed under the HSR Act and as promptly as practicable in the case of all other filings required under any Foreign Competition Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby) and to obtain as expeditiously as practicable, and in any event prior to the Termination Date, all consents, registrations, approvals, permits, expirations of waiting periods and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries or requests for information received from any Governmental Entity, (iii) satisfying the conditions to consummating the Mergers, (iv) defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Mergers, (v) obtaining (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent, approval of, waiver or any exemption by, any non-governmental third party, in each case, to the extent necessary, proper or advisable in connection with the Mergers and (vi) executing and delivering any reasonable additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to Section 6.5(b), in the event that the parties receive a request for additional information and documentary material pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws (a “Second Request”), unless otherwise agreed to by the Company, the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to substantially comply with and submit appropriate responses to such Second Request as promptly as practicable and advisable, and counsel for both parties will

closely cooperate during the entirety of any such Second Request review process. Except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3, as applicable, none of the parties shall knowingly take, cause, or permit to be taken any action that is reasonably likely to materially delay or prevent consummation of the contemplated transactions, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties. As used in this Agreement, the term “Antitrust Laws” means the Xxxxxxx Antitrust Act, as amended, the Xxxxxxx Antitrust Act of 1914, as amended, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and all other federal, state and foreign statutes, rules, regulations, orders, decrees and other Laws and Orders that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization, substantial lessening of competition, or restraint of trade or competition.

(c) Subject to applicable Antitrust Laws relating to the exchange of information, Parent shall have the right to devise and direct the strategy for obtaining any clearances required under any Antitrust Law in connection with the Mergers; provided that such strategy shall be designed to obtain such clearances as promptly as reasonably practicable and in no event later than the Termination Date. No party or its counsel shall independently participate in any meeting or substantive call relating to the Antitrust Laws with any Governmental Entity in respect of such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other party or its counsel prior notice of such call or meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. In furtherance of the foregoing and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) each party shall notify the other of any filing, communication or inquiry it or any of its Subsidiaries intends to make with any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Section 6.5, (ii) prior to submitting any such filing or making any such communication or inquiry, such party shall provide the other party and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review, and shall consider in good faith the comments of the other party in connection with, any such proposed filing, communication or inquiry, (iii) promptly following the submission of such filing or making such communication or inquiry, provide the other party with a copy of any such filing or, if in written form, communication or inquiry and (iv) consult with the other party in connection with any inquiry, hearing, investigation or litigation by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Entity relating to the Mergers, including the scheduling of, and strategic planning for, any meetings with any Governmental Entity relating thereto. In exercising the foregoing cooperation rights, the Company and Parent each shall act reasonably and as promptly as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, materials provided pursuant to this Section 6.5 may be reasonably redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company and the Mergers, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, (C) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns, or (D) as otherwise required by Law, provided, further, that any competitively or commercially sensitive material provided may be designated as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel and approved outside economic consultants of the recipient and will not be disclosed to employees, representatives, officers, or directors of the recipient without written consent of the party providing such materials.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 6.5, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity in connection with the HSR Act, any other applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and to avoid the entry of, or effect the dissolution of, any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. For the purposes of this Section 6.5, “reasonable best efforts” shall include taking any and all actions necessary to obtain the consents, approvals, permits, waiting period expirations or authorizations required to consummate the Mergers as soon as practicable, and in any event prior to the Termination Date, including but not limited to (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to, effecting and agreeing to, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the divestiture, license, hold separate, sale or other disposition of the businesses, assets, or products of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) creating, terminating, or amending any existing relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations of Parent, the Company, or their respective Subsidiaries, and (iii) otherwise taking or committing to any action that would limit Parent’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain or hold, any businesses, assets, product lines or properties of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries (each such action in clauses (i)-(iii) a “Divestiture Action”); provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be required to take or agree or offer to take, and the Company shall not take or agree or offer to take, any Divestiture Action that meets both of the following criteria: (A) such Divestiture Action would be of or with respect to businesses, assets, or products representing, in the aggregate, in excess of $125,000,000 of annual sales revenues for (x) the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 in the case of Divestiture Actions with respect to the Company or (y) the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 in the case of Divestiture Actions with respect to Parent and (B) such Divestiture Action would be of or with respect to more than two (2) existing distribution centers in the aggregate. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no party shall be required to take or agree to take any action with respect to its business or operations in connection with obtaining the approval of any Governmental Entity in connection with the Mergers unless the effectiveness of such action or agreement is conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing.

(e) Information. Subject to Section 6.6(b), the Company and Parent each shall, upon request by the other, promptly furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Merger Materials and any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Status. The Company and Parent each shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notice or other communications received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than immaterial communications.

(a) Upon reasonable notice, and except as may otherwise be required by applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford Parent’s Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Initial Effective Time, to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ employees, properties, assets, books, records and contracts and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Parent all information concerning any of the foregoing as may reasonably be requested by Parent; provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company or Parent; and provided, further, that the foregoing shall require neither the Company nor Parent to permit any inspection or to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 6.6 to the extent that (i) in the reasonable good faith judgment of such party, any applicable Law requires such party or its Subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information, (ii) in the reasonable good faith judgment of such party, the information is subject to confidentiality obligations to a third party or (iii) disclosure of any such information or document would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege; provided, further, that with respect to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 6.6(a), Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall (A) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of any such third party to provide such inspection or disclosure, (B) use reasonable best efforts develop an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters that is reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company and (C) in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to remove the basis for the objection, including by arrangement of appropriate clean room procedures, redaction or entry into a customary joint defense agreement with respect to any information to be so provided, if the parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the disclosure of such information without violating applicable Law or jeopardizing such privilege. In no event shall this

Section 6.6 permit either Party’s Representatives to conduct invasive sampling or invasive testing of any environmental media or building material. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the other party.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company, as it deems advisable and necessary, may reasonably designate competitively sensitive material provided to the other as “Outside Counsel Only Material,” “Outside Antitrust Counsel Only Material,” or with similar restrictions. Such material and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient, or otherwise as the restriction indicates, and be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the parties. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. To the extent that any of the information or material furnished pursuant to this Section 6.6 or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement may include material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, the parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All such information that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine. Prior to the Initial Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall reasonably cooperate in identifying any actions or practices of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could require remediation under applicable Law and, to the extent identified, shall cooperate in taking commercially reasonable actions or practices and other customary actions to reduce the risks related to such actions where the failure to remediate would reasonably be likely to result in substantial fines or penalties.

(c) Each of the Company and Parent shall give prompt notice to one another of any change, effect, circumstance or development that would reasonably be likely to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect, Plastics Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect (as applicable), or of any reasonably likely failure of any condition to Parent’s or the Company’s obligations to effect the Mergers (as applicable).

6.7 Stock Exchange De-listing and De-registration.

6.9 Employee Benefits.

(a) Parent agrees that each Company Employee who continues to remain employed with the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries (a “Continuing Employee”) shall, during the period commencing at the Initial Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the date on which the Initial Effective Time occurs (the “Continuation Period”), be provided with (i) a base salary or base wage that is no less favorable than the base salary or base wage provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time and (ii) target annual cash bonus opportunities and target long-term incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the target annual cash bonus opportunities and target long-term incentive compensation opportunities provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries. Parent agrees that Continuing Employees shall, during the Continuation Period, be provided with employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries. Additionally, Parent agrees that each Continuing Employee shall, during the period commencing at the Initial Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Initial Effective Time, be provided with severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time. Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Company to honor and assume all obligations under the employment agreement and severance plans listed on Section 6.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule in accordance with the terms of such agreement and plans as in effect on the date hereof.

(b) Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Company to provide that no pre-existing conditions, exclusions or waiting periods shall apply to Company Employees under the benefit plans provided for those employees except to the extent such condition or exclusion was applicable to an individual Company Employee prior to the Initial Effective Time. With respect to the plan year during which the Initial Effective Time occurs, Parent shall provide each Company Employee with credit for deductibles and out-of-pocket requirements paid prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any Parent plan in which such Company Employee is eligible to participate following the Closing Date.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Company to, provide credit (without duplication) to Company Employees for their service recognized by the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Initial Effective Time for purposes of eligibility, vesting, continuous service, determination of service awards, vacation, paid time off, and severance entitlements to the same extent and for the same purposes as such service was credited under the Company Plans, provided that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits and provided, further, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Company Employee who is, or becomes, subject to a CBA, all compensation and benefits treatment and terms and conditions of employment afforded to such Company Employee shall be provided in accordance with such CBA or other agreement with a labor union or like organization and the terms of this Section 6.9 shall not apply.

(e) From and after the Initial Effective Time, Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) shall honor all Company Plans in accordance with their terms (including any rights to amend, modify or terminate such Company Plans) as in effect immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement shall limit the ability of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) to provide compensation and benefits to Continuing Employees in accordance with this Agreement through plans of Parent or its Subsidiaries after the Initial Effective Time.

(f) Each employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who is employed for any portion of the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2018 and who participates in an annual bonus program of the Company (each, a “Bonus Eligible Employee”) shall be eligible to receive a pro rata portion of such individual’s annual bonus with respect to the “stub” period between September 30, 2018 and the Closing Date, based on actual results as of the Closing (the “Pro Rata Bonus”); provided, however, that the applicable performance criteria may

be equitably adjusted by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors to the extent that the Compensation Committee determines that any such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company consistent with its fiduciary duties, taking into account the consummation of the Mergers and the anticipated Closing, in each case relating to the Merger and only to the extent not taken into account in establishing the applicable performance goals; provided, further, however, that the Company shall consult in good faith with Parent reasonably in advance of making any such adjustments and the Company shall consider Parent’s input in good faith prior to making such adjustments. Subject to the immediately following sentence, the Pro Rata Bonus shall be payable at such time as the Company pays annual bonuses to its employees in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. Each Bonus Eligible Employee who experiences a termination of employment, other than for “Cause” (as defined in the Company’s Severance Plan for U.S. Officers and Executives, amended and restated, effective as of June 9, 2016), prior to the payment of the Pro Rata Bonus shall be entitled to receive the Pro Rata Bonus, if any, payable as soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which the employment termination occurs; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to the extent that an employee has the right to receive a pro-rated bonus for the year in which employment termination occurs under a Company Plan. The Company shall consult in good faith with Parent regarding (1) the applicable performance goals for the Company’s 2019 Fiscal Year (including applicable goals for any abbreviated periods during such time) and (2) the determination of the Pro Rata Bonus payout levels.

(g) The provisions of this Section 6.9 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and neither any union nor any current or former employee, nor any other individual associated therewith, is or shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary to this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 9.8(d)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, (i) constitute the establishment of, or an amendment to, any Company Plan or any employee benefit plan of Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates, (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent to amend, modify or terminate any Company Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (iii) give any third party any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.9, (iv) prevent Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates, after the Initial Effective Time, from terminating the employment of any Company Employee or (v) be deemed to confer upon any such individual or legal representative any rights under or with respect to any plan, program or arrangement described in or contemplated by this Agreement, and each such individual or legal representative shall be entitled to look only to the express terms of any such plan, program or arrangement for his or her rights thereunder.

(h) If, at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Initial Effective Time, Parent provides written notice to the Company directing the Company to terminate its 401(k) plan(s) and/or its excess benefit plan, the Company shall terminate any and all 401(k) plans and/or the excess benefit plan effective as of the day immediately preceding the day on which the

Initial Effective Time occurs (the “Plan Termination Date”). In the event that Parent requests that such 401(k) plan(s) and the excess benefit plan be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that such 401(k) plan(s) and the excess benefit plan have been terminated pursuant to resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors at least two (2) Business Days prior to the day on which the Initial Effective Time occurs; provided that prior to terminating the Company’s 401(k) plan or the excess benefit plan, the Company shall provide Parent with the form and substance of any applicable resolutions for review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Company 401(k) plan or the excess benefit plan is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.9(h), then as soon as practicable following the Plan Termination Date, Parent shall permit all Continuing Employees who were eligible to participate in the Company 401(k) plan or the excess benefit plan immediately prior to the Plan Termination Date to participate in Parent’s 401(k) plan or Parent’s excess benefit plan, as applicable, and shall permit each such Continuing Employee to elect to transfer his or her account balance when distributed from the terminated Company 401(k) plan, including any outstanding participant loans, to Parent’s 401(k) plan, except to the extent that accepting such transfers would adversely affect the tax-qualified status of Parent’s 401(k) plan or as may be prohibited by Parent’s 401(k) plan.

6.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.5 and 8.5, whether or not the Mergers are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expense, except that expenses incurred in connection with the filing fee for the Merger Materials and printing and mailing the Merger Materials shall be shared equally by Parent and the Company.

6.11 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Initial Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company determined as of the Initial Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Initial Effective Time (including this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby)), arising out of the fact that such Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Person prior to the Initial Effective Time, in each case, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Initial Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under Delaware Law, any applicable indemnification agreement to which such Person is a party, the Company Certificate of Incorporation or Company Bylaws in effect on the date of this

Agreement to indemnify such Person (and Parent and the Surviving Company shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced shall provide an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification). Parent shall ensure that the organizational documents of the Surviving Company shall, for a period of six (6) years from and after the Initial Effective Time, contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and its Subsidiaries than are presently set forth in the Company Certificate of Incorporation and Company Bylaws. Any right of indemnification of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified at any time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of such Indemnified Party as provided herein.

(b) Prior to the Initial Effective Time, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company as of the Initial Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from and after the Initial Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with benefits and levels of coverage at least substantially as favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Initial Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company expend for such policies a premium amount in excess of three-hundred percent (300%) of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for the D&O Insurance; and, provided, further that if the premium for the D&O Insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(c) If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then and in each such case proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent shall assume all of the obligations of Parent set forth in this Section 6.11.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.11 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives. The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 6.11 shall be in addition to any rights such individual may have under Delaware Law, any applicable indemnification agreement to which such Person is a party, the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the Company Bylaws.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.11 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

6.12 Takeover Statute. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and its board of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise use reasonable best efforts to act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

6.13 Control of the Company’s or Parent’s Operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or the Company, directly or indirectly, rights to control or direct the operations of the other prior to the Initial Effective Time. Prior to the Initial Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision of its operations.

6.14 Section 16(b). The board of directors of each of the Company and Parent (or, in each case, a duly authorized committee thereof) shall, prior to the Initial Effective Time, take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual, including by deputization, who is a director or executive officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.15 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Parent will use reasonable best efforts to obtain Financing (or in the event any portion or all of the Committed Financing becomes unavailable (after giving effect to any other financing that may then be available to cover such unavailable amount) and such amount is necessary to pay the Merger Amounts, alternative debt financing (in an amount sufficient, together with the remaining Financing, if any, and any other sources available to Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II, to fund the payment of the Merger Amounts) from the same or other sources (any such alternative debt financing that Parent obtains if any portion or all of the Committed Financing becomes unavailable, a “Replacement Financing”)) required to fund the payment of the Merger Amounts on the Closing Date. It is understood and agreed that in no event will the reasonable best efforts of Parent be deemed or construed to require Parent to pay any fees materially in excess of those contemplated by the Commitment Letter (or the related fee

letter) (including market flex provisions set forth therein) as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or agree to any market flex provision less favorable to Parent than the market flex provisions contained in the fee letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement (in either case, whether to secure waiver of any conditions contained therein or otherwise). Upon request by the Company, Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonable basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing. Parent shall give the Company prompt notice upon becoming aware of, or receiving written notice with respect to, any material breach of or default under, or any event or circumstance that (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach of or default under, the Commitment Letter by a party thereto or any termination, withdrawal or rescission of the Commitment Letter. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the availability nor terms of the Financing are conditions to the obligations of Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II to consummate the Mergers, and each of Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II reaffirms its obligation to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement subject only to the express conditions set forth in Article VII, irrespective and independent of the availability or terms of the Financing.

To the extent required by Parent following such delivery, the Company shall meet to discuss such Related Party Arrangements and other Contracts with Parent, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Related Party Arrangements and other Contracts designated by Parent (after considering in good faith the discussions with the Company and its representatives) to be terminated effective as of or prior to the Closing, without any further right, obligation or liability of any Person thereunder. The Parties acknowledge that any failure by the Company to terminate such Related Party Arrangements and other Contracts, in and of itself and so long the Company has complied with its reasonable best efforts obligation to do so, shall not constitute a failure to comply with the Company’s covenants set forth in this Section 6.22.
