Merger Agreement

On December 18, 2019, Superior Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with New NAM, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“NAM”), Forbes Energy Services Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“Forbes”), Spieth Newco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Forbes (“Holdco”), Spieth Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“NAM Merger Sub”), and Fowler Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Fowler Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, NAM Merger Sub will merge with and into NAM (the “NAM Merger”) and Forbes Merger Sub will merge with and into Forbes (the “Forbes Merger,” and together with the NAM Merger, the “Mergers”), with each of NAM and Forbes continuing as surviving entities and wholly owned subsidiaries of Holdco. On December 17, 2019, the board of directors of the Company and the board of directors of Forbes each unanimously approved the Merger Agreement.

Prior to the effective time of the Mergers (the “Effective Time”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries will enter into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) setting forth the terms of the consolidation of the Company’s U.S. service rig, coiled tubing, wireline, pressure control, flowback, fluid management and accommodation services lines (the “Superior U.S. Business”) under the ownership of NAM as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Separation Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries party thereto will enter into a series of transactions to effectuate an internal reorganization (the “Reorganization”) such that, after giving effect to the Reorganization, the Superior U.S. Business will be separated from the Company and consolidated under NAM.

At the Effective Time, the Company, through its subsidiaries, will, by virtue of the NAM Merger, receive (i) 49.9% of the issued and outstanding voting Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Holdco (“Holdco Class A Common Stock”), (ii) 100% of the issued and outstanding non-voting Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Holdco (“Holdco Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Holdco Class A Common Stock, “Holdco Common Stock”) and (iii) Holdco Secured Notes (as defined below) issued pursuant to the Exchange Financing (as defined below) (such shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock, shares of Holdco Class B Common Stock and Holdco Secured Notes collectively, the “NAM Merger Consideration”). The Holdco Common Stock issued to the Company as NAM Merger Consideration will represent an approximate 65% economic interest in Holdco. At the Effective Time, the holders of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Forbes (“Forbes Common Stock”) that are (i) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time or that constitute Exchange Shares (as defined below) or (ii) issuable upon conversion of the Forbes Convertible PIK Notes (as defined below) in accordance with the Merger Agreement, will, by virtue of the Forbes Merger, have the right to receive 50.1% of the Holdco Class A Common Stock (the “Forbes Merger Consideration”). The Holdco Common Stock issued to holders of Forbes Common Stock as Forbes Merger Consideration will collectively represent an approximate 35% economic interest in Holdco. Forbes’s economic interest in Holdco will be subject to adjustment within certain parameters based on its net debt position immediately prior to the closing of the Mergers.

Each award of restricted stock units and performance stock units of Forbes will be treated as follows:

2

Prior to the Effective Time, Forbes will cause the aggregate principal amount of its 5.00% Subordinated Convertible PIK Notes due June 30, 2020 (the “Forbes Convertible PIK Notes”) outstanding at such time that is not held by Ascribe Capital LLC or its affiliates (collectively, “Ascribe”) or Solace Capital Partners, L.P. or its affiliates (collectively, “Solace”) to convert into shares of Forbes Common Stock in accordance with the indenture governing the Forbes Convertible PIK Notes.

Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange and Contribution Agreement, dated effective as of the date of the Merger Agreement, by and among Forbes, Holdco, Ascribe and Solace (the “Forbes Exchange and Contribution Agreement”), immediately prior to the record date for the special meeting of stockholders of Forbes to be held to approve the Merger Agreement, Ascribe and Solace will exchange an equal amount of Forbes Convertible PIK Notes (including all accrued interest thereon) then held by Ascribe and Solace for such number of shares of Forbes Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”), that will result in Ascribe and Solace collectively holding an aggregate amount of Forbes Common Stock representing 51% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Forbes Common Stock.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the portion of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under Forbes’ existing term loan that is held by Ascribe and Solace as of the date of the Merger Agreement, together with accrued interest thereon, will be exchanged for approximately $30 million in new mandatory convertible preferred shares of Holdco (the “Holdco Convertible Preferred Shares”) pursuant to the terms of the Forbes Exchange and Contribution Agreement. The Holdco Convertible Preferred Shares will be entitled to cash dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, payable bi-annually, and on the third anniversary of the closing of the Mergers will be subject to mandatory conversion into a number of shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock that would result in the Company’s economic interest in Holdco at the closing of the Mergers being 52% on a fully diluted basis. It is anticipated that Holdco will retire the remaining balance of the Forbes term loan with proceeds from the ABL Facility (as defined below).

Forbes has agreed, subject to certain exceptions with respect to unsolicited proposals, not to directly or indirectly solicit competing acquisition proposals or to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any unsolicited alternative acquisition proposals. However, if Forbes receives an unsolicited, written and bona fide acquisition proposal that did not result from a material breach of the non-solicitation provisions of the Merger Agreement and that Forbes’s board of directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such unsolicited, written and bona fide acquisition proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a superior offer, Forbes may furnish non-public information regarding Forbes or any of its subsidiaries to any person and engage in discussions and negotiations with any person in response to an unsolicited, written and bona fide acquisition proposal; provided that Forbes provides notice and furnishes any non-public information provided to the maker of the acquisition proposal to the Company substantially concurrently with providing such non-public information to the maker of the acquisition proposal.

The completion of the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including: (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of at least a majority of the shares of Forbes Common Stock outstanding as of the record date for the meeting of Forbes

3

shareholders; (ii) absence of any court order or regulatory injunction prohibiting completion of the Mergers, (iii) expiration or termination of review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iv) effectiveness of Holdco’s registration statement on Form S-4 to register the Holdco Common Stock to be issued in the Mergers, (v) relief (whether by waiver, amendment, consent, termination or otherwise) from the provisions of the Company’s credit agreement that would otherwise prohibit the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (vi) consummation of the Exchange Financing (as defined below) on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, (vii) commitment from lenders to fund a new asset-based credit facility of Holdco on the terms described in the Merger Agreement (the “ABL Facility”), (viii) receipt by the boards of directors of the Company, Holdco and Forbes of opinions from an appraisal firm of national standing to the effect that, immediately following the Effective Time, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and by the other transaction documents contemplated by the Merger Agreement, each of the Company and Holdco will be solvent, (ix) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party and (x) compliance by the other party in all material respects with its covenants.

The Company and Forbes have made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including covenants and agreements relating to (i) the conduct of each of the Company’s business, the Superior U.S. Business and Forbes’s business between the date of the signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing date of the Mergers and (ii) the efforts of the parties to cause the Mergers to be completed, including using their reasonable best efforts to cooperate with one another in (A) determining which filings are required to be made prior to the Effective Time with, and which consents, approvals, permits or authorizations are required to be obtained prior to the Effective Time from, governmental or regulatory authorities, and (B) timely making all such filings and timely seeking all such consents, approvals, permits or authorizations.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Forbes. The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, (i) the Company may be required to pay Forbes a termination fee equal to either $3.0 million or $5.0 million or (ii) Forbes may be required to pay to the Company a termination fee equal to $1.0 million.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, and incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference in its entirety. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Forbes, Holdco or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of the parties to the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specified dates. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Forbes or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s, Forbes’s or Holdco’s public disclosures.

Voting and Support Agreements

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company, Holdco and Forbes entered into a voting and support agreement (collectively, the “Voting and Support Agreements”) with each of Ascribe, Solace, John E. Crisp (the Chief Executive Officer of Forbes), and L. Melvin Cooper (the Chief Financial Officer of Forbes) (each, a “Designated Stockholder” and, collectively, the “Designated Stockholders”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting and Support Agreements, each Designated Stockholder has agreed to, among other things, vote all of the shares in Forbes owned by such Designated Stockholder as of the record date for the Forbes stockholder meeting (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, (ii) against any acquisition proposal or any other transaction, proposal, agreement or action made in opposition to adoption of the Merger Agreement or in competition or inconsistent with the Mergers or matters contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iii) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Merger Agreement and (iv) against any other action that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, postpone or adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, Ascribe and Solace have agreed not to transfer any of their shares in Forbes or deposit any such shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such shares (except as otherwise provided in the Voting and Support Agreements) until the termination date of the Voting and Support Agreements.

The foregoing summary of the Voting and Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Voting and Support Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, and incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference in their entirety.

Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation

As a condition of the Mergers, SESI, L.L.C. (“SESI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, intends to consummate (1) an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) up to $500 million of its $800 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 7.125% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Original Notes”) for up to $500 million of newly issued longer-dated notes (the “New Notes”) and (2) a concurrent consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) to amend the lien covenant in the indenture governing the Original Notes (the “Original Notes Indenture”) to permit the issuance of the Superior Secured Notes (as defined and described below) (the “Proposed Amendment”). SESI intends to launch the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation during the pendency of the Mergers. The indenture governing the New Notes will contain restrictive covenants similar to the Original Notes after giving effect to the Proposed Amendment. Eligible holders of Original Notes who validly tender and do not validly withdraw Original Notes prior to the early participation date in 2020 to be specified (the “Early Participation Date”) are expected to be entitled to receive an aggregate principal amount of New Notes equal to the Original Notes validly tendered and accepted.

Substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Mergers, the New Notes will automatically exchange into (1) up to $250 million of Senior Second Lien Secured Notes to be issued by Holdco (the “Holdco Secured Notes” and such exchange, the “Exchange Financing”) and (2) only to the extent that consents are received in the consent solicitation from holders holding at least a majority of the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of Original Notes (the “Requisite Consents”), up to $250 million of Senior Second Lien Secured Notes to be issued by SESI (the “Superior Secured Notes”). The indenture governing the Holdco Secured Notes will contain restrictive covenants customary for issuances of high-yield secured notes of this type, and the indenture governing the Superior Secured Notes will contain restrictive covenants similar to those contained in the indenture governing SESI’s Senior Notes due 2024.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Mergers, and assuming the Exchange Offer is fully subscribed, SESI expects to keep the remaining $300 million aggregate principal amount of its Original Notes outstanding. However, if the Mergers are not consummated by May 31, 2020 or are earlier terminated or abandoned, the New Notes issued in the Exchange Offer will be automatically exchanged for an equal principal amount of Original Notes to be issued as “Additional Notes” under the Original Notes Indenture.

5

The Exchange Offer will only be made to, and a confidential offering memorandum and other documents relating to the Exchange Offer will only be distributed to, holders who complete and return an eligibility letter confirming that they are (i) “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or (ii) outside the United States and persons other than “U.S. persons” as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S, who are “non-U.S. qualified offerees” (as defined in the eligibility letter) (such persons, “Eligible Holders”).

SESI will make the Exchange Offer only to Eligible Holders through, and pursuant to, the terms of a confidential offering memorandum. SESI and its affiliates will not make any recommendation as to whether Eligible Holders should exchange or refrain from exchanging their Original Notes.

On December 18, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement and the entry into the foregoing transactions. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

All statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K (and oral statements made regarding the subjects of this Current Report on Form 8-K) other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company, Forbes and Holdco, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to: statements regarding the expected benefits of the proposed transaction; the anticipated completion of the proposed transaction and the timing thereof; the expected future results of operations and growth of the Company and Holdco; and plans and objectives of management for future operations of the Company and Holdco.

While the Company believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors that could impact the future performance or results of its and Holdco’s business. Among the factors that could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are: the failure to realize the anticipated costs savings, synergies and other benefits of the transaction; the possible diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; the risk that the requisite approvals to complete the transaction are not obtained or other closing conditions are not satisfied; local, regional and national economic conditions and the impact they may have on the Company, Forbes, Holdco and their customers; conditions in the oil and gas industry, especially oil and natural gas prices and capital expenditures by oil and gas companies; the debt obligations of the Company and Holdco following the transaction and the

6

potential effect of limiting the Company’s and/or Holdco’s ability to fund future growth and operations and increasing their respective exposure to risk during adverse economic conditions; the financial condition of the Company’s and Holdco’s customers; any non-performance by customers of their contractual obligations; changes in customer, employee or supplier relationships resulting from the transaction; changes in safety, health, environmental and other regulations; the results of any reviews, investigations or other proceedings by government authorities; and the potential additional costs relating to any reviews, investigations or other proceedings by government authorities or shareholder actions.

These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors, forward-looking statements and challenges and uncertainties described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and those set forth from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available at www.superiorenergy.com. Except as required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or buy or an invitation to purchase or subscribe for any securities or the solicitation of any vote in any jurisdiction pursuant to the proposed transaction or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. Subject to certain exceptions to be approved by the relevant regulators or certain facts to be ascertained, the public offer will not be made directly or indirectly, in or into any jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of such jurisdiction, or by use of the mails or by any means or instrumentality (including without limitation, facsimile transmission, telephone and the internet) of interstate or foreign commerce, or any facility of a national securities exchange, of any such jurisdiction.

Important Additional Information Regarding the Transaction Will Be Filed With the SEC

In connection with the proposed transaction, Holdco will file a registration statement on Form S-4, including a joint proxy statement/prospectus of Holdco and Forbes, with the SEC. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY AND FORBES ARE ADVISED TO CAREFULLY READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS (INCLUDING ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSACTION, THE PARTIES TO THE TRANSACTION AND THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSACTION. A definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to security holders of Forbes in connection with the Forbes shareholder meeting. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the joint proxy statement/prospectus (when available) and other relevant documents filed by the Company, Forbes and Holdco with the SEC from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Security holders and other interested parties will also be able to obtain, without charge, a copy of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents (when available) from www.superiorenergy.com under the tab “Investors” and then under the heading “SEC Filings.” Security holders may also read and copy any reports, statements and other information filed with the SEC at the SEC public reference room at 100 F Street N.E., Room 1580, Washington D.C. 20549.

The Company, Forbes and their respective directors, executive officers and certain other members of management may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from their respective security holders with respect to the transaction. Information about these persons is set forth in the Company’s proxy statement relating to its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 26, 2019, and Forbes’ proxy statement relating to its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 25, 2019, and subsequent statements of changes in beneficial ownership on file with the SEC.

ARTICLE IV.

EFFECT OF THE MERGERS ON THE CAPITAL STOCK AND EQUITY AWARDS

Section 4.01 Conversion of Capital Stock of NAM, Fowler and Merger Subs.

(a) At the Effective Time, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Spieth (“New Spieth”), as holder of all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of NAM (“NAM Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of NAM Common Stock to be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor pursuant to Section 4.01(c)) shall, by virtue of the NAM Merger, have the right to receive (i) a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Holdco (“Holdco Class A Common Stock”) or Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Holdco (“Holdco Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Holdco Class A Common Stock, “Holdco Common Stock”) equal to the product of (A) the NAM Exchange Ratio multiplied by (B) 5,000,000 (the “Holdco Common Stock Number”) and (ii) Holdco Bonds (such shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock, shares of Holdco Class B Common Stock and Holdco Bonds received by the holders of NAM Common Stock are collectively referred to herein as the “NAM Merger Consideration”) in exchange for all of the shares of NAM Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Holdco Common Stock portion of the NAM Merger Consideration shall be allocated among Holdco Class A Common Stock and Holdco Class B Common Stock as follows: (i) first, a number of shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock such that New Spieth holds 49.9% of the shares of Holdco Class A Common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the Effective Time and (ii) the balance of the Holdco Common Stock portion of the NAM Merger Consideration shall be paid in shares of Holdco Class B Common Stock. Each such share of NAM Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and Spieth shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of NAM Common Stock, except the right to receive, without interest, shares of Holdco Common Stock in accordance with this Section 4.02. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of NAM Merger Sub shall be converted, by reason of the NAM Merger, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the NAM Surviving Entity.

4

(b) At the Effective Time, the holders of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Fowler (“Fowler Common Stock”) (i) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that constitute Fowler Outstanding Common Stock or that constitute Exchange Shares and (ii) issuable upon conversion of Fowler Convertible PIK Notes in accordance with Section 7.18(a), in each case, other than any Dissenting Shares, shall, by virtue of the Fowler Merger, have the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock that, when taken together with the shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock issued upon the contribution of Fowler Convertible PIK Notes to Holdco immediately prior to the Fowler Merger in accordance with Section 7.18(c), is equal to the product of (A) the Fowler Exchange Ratio and (B) the Holdco Common Stock Number (“Fowler Merger Consideration” and together with NAM Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). An aggregate of 1.5% of the Fowler Merger Consideration shall be allocated, pro rata, to the shares of Fowler Outstanding Common Stock and each share of Fowler Outstanding Common Stock shall have the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock equal to the Fowler Common Exchange Ratio. An aggregate of 98.5% of the Fowler Merger Consideration shall be allocated, pro rata, to (x) the Fowler Convertible PIK Notes converted into shares of Fowler Common Stock in accordance with Section 7.18(a), (y) the Exchange Notes exchanged in accordance with Section 7.18(b) and (z) the Contribution Notes contributed in accordance with Section 7.18(c). Each share of Fowler Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, which shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, shares of Fowler Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Fowler Convertible PIK Notes (other than shares of Fowler Common Stock to be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor pursuant to Section 4.01(c) and shares of Fowler Common Stock held by Holdco, which shall remain outstanding as shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Fowler Surviving Entity and shall not be entitled to any portion of the Fowler Merger Consideration) shall cease to be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such share of Fowler Common Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such share of Fowler Common Stock, except the right to receive, without interest, shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.02, any unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.02(c) and cash for fractional shares in accordance with Section 4.02(e) upon the surrender of the relevant Certificate; provided, however, that the rights of any holder of Dissenting Shares will be as set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Fowler Merger Sub shall be converted, by reason of the Fowler Merger, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Fowler Surviving Entity.

(c) Each share of NAM Common Stock issued and held in NAM’s treasury shall, at the Effective Time and by virtue of the NAM Merger, cease to be issued and shall be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor, and no shares of Holdco Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. Each share of Fowler Common Stock issued and held in Fowler’s treasury shall, at the Effective Time and by virtue of the Fowler Merger, cease to be issued and shall be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor, and no shares of Holdco Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(d) Fowler Incentive Awards.

(i) Restricted Stock Units. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding award of a Fowler restricted stock unit granted under Fowler’s equity compensation plans (the “Fowler Stock Plans”) that is subject to time-based vesting requirements (“Fowler RSUs”) shall immediately vest and thereupon be cancelled and converted into a share of Fowler Common Stock. Such shares of Fowler Common Stock shall, for the avoidance of doubt be taken into account in calculating the Fowler Common Exchange Ratio and, at the Effective Time, the holder of each such share of Fowler Common Stock shall have the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable shares of Holdco Common Stock in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Section 4.01(b). In the event that a holder previously completed a deferred settlement agreement in respect of Fowler RSUs under the Fowler Stock Plans, settlement of such holder’s Holdco Common Stock shall occur on the date set forth in the deferred settlement agreement.

(ii) Performance Stock Units. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding award of a Fowler restricted stock unit granted under the Fowler Stock Plans that is subject to performance-based vesting requirements (“Fowler PSUs” and, together with the Fowler RSUs, the “Fowler Equity Awards”) shall immediately vest and thereupon be cancelled and converted into a share of Fowler Common Stock. Such shares of Fowler Common Stock shall, for the avoidance of doubt be taken into account in calculating the Fowler Common Exchange Ratio and, at the Effective Time, the holder of each such share of Fowler Common Stock shall have the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Holdco Common Stock equal to the Fowler Exchange Ratio in exchange for each share of Fowler Common Stock in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Section 4.01(b).

Section 4.02 Exchange of Certificates Representing Fowler Common Stock.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Holdco shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to Fowler to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”). Holdco shall, when and as needed, deposit, or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Fowler Common Stock for exchange in accordance with this Article IV, (i) shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book-entry form) issuable pursuant to Section 4.01 and delivered pursuant to this Section 4.02 in exchange for outstanding shares of Fowler Common Stock, promptly after the Effective Time and (ii) when and as needed, cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.02(e) (such cash and shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time and in any event no later than the fifth business day following the Effective Time, Holdco shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of one or more shares of Fowler Common Stock: (A) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Holdco may reasonably specify and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or book-entry notation representing shares of

6

Fowler Common Stock (in each case, “Certificates”) in exchange for the applicable portion of the Fowler Merger Consideration, any unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.02(c) and cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 4.02(e). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (x) that number of whole shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock and (y) a check representing the amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, and unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV and after giving effect to any required withholding tax, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash in lieu of fractional shares and unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, payable to holders of Certificates. If any portion of the Fowler Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to the registration of such Fowler Merger Consideration that the surrendered Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such delivery of the Fowler Merger Consideration shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of such registration in the name of a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.02(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable portion of the Fowler Merger Consideration, any unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.02(c) and cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 4.02(e). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Fowler Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of Fowler, the proper number of shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock, together with a check for any unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock and/or the cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares may be issued to such a transferee if the Certificate representing such Fowler Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. All shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock issued upon the exchange of Fowler Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article IV (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 4.02(c) or Section 4.02(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued or paid, as the case may be, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Fowler Common Stock.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate of Fowler Common Stock with respect to the shares of Holdco Common Stock issuable upon surrender of such Certificate as a result of the exchange provided in this Article IV until such Certificate is surrendered as provided herein. Subject to the effect of Applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the Certificate so surrendered, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date prior to surrender payable with respect to the number of whole shares of

7

Holdco Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 4.01, less the amount of any withholding taxes, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock, less the amount of any withholding taxes.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Fowler Surviving Entity of the shares of Fowler Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to Holdco or the Exchange Agent, the presented Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged for certificates representing shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares and any unpaid dividends on Holdco Class A Common Stock, if any, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article IV.

(e) No fractional shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock shall be issued in the Fowler Merger, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote, or to any other rights of a stockholder of Holdco. All fractional shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock that a holder of shares of Fowler Common Stock otherwise would be entitled to receive as a result of the Fowler Merger shall be aggregated by the Exchange Agent, and the Exchange Agent shall cause the whole shares obtained thereby to be sold on behalf of such holders of shares of Fowler Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock in the Fowler Merger, in the open market or otherwise, in each case at then-prevailing market prices, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time. Subject to Section 4.02(i), the Exchange Agent shall pay the net proceeds thereof, subject to the deduction of brokerage charges, commissions and transfer taxes, on a pro rata basis, without interest, as soon as practicable to the holders of Fowler Common Stock that otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock in the Fowler Merger. The payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock to holders of Fowler Common Stock is solely for the purpose of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Holdco of issuing fractional shares and does not represent separately bargained for consideration.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof and any certificates for shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock) that remains undistributed to the former stockholders of Fowler one year after the Effective Time shall, subject to any abandoned property, escheat or similar law, be delivered to Holdco. Any former stockholders of Fowler who have not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Holdco for delivery of shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares and for any unpaid dividends and distributions on the shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock deliverable to such former stockholder pursuant to this Agreement. None of Holdco, NAM, NAM Merger Sub, Fowler, Fowler Merger Sub, the Surviving Entities, or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any portion of the Exchange Fund (or dividends or distributions with respect to Holdco Class A Common Stock) or any cash delivered to a public official in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(g) None of Holdco, Spieth, any Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any person for any portion of the Exchange Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

8

(h) 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, if required by Holdco, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Holdco may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, certificates representing the shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Holdco Class A Common Stock, as provided in Section 4.02(c), in each case, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) Each of NAM, Fowler, the Surviving Entities, the Exchange Agent and Holdco shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable or deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amount as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under Applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid or delivered to the Persons otherwise entitled thereto in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 4.03 Adjustment of Exchange Ratios. If a Fowler Exchange Ratio Adjustment Event shall occur, the Fowler Exchange Ratio shall be decreased on a pro rata basis by 0.25% for each $700,000 of Fowler Net Debt in excess of the Fowler Target Net Debt (provided that such decrease shall in no event exceed 0.73%), and the NAM Exchange Ratio shall be increased by the same percentage, such that the sum of the NAM Exchange Ratio and the Fowler Exchange Ratio shall always equal one hundred percent (100%) as of the Effective Time.

Section 4.04 Rule 16b-3 Approval. Prior to the Closing, Holdco and Fowler, and their respective Boards of Directors or committees thereof, shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions to cause any dispositions of Fowler Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Fowler Common Stock) or acquisitions of Holdco Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Holdco Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby by each holder who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in no-action letters issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in similar transactions.

Section 4.05 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to each Dissenting Share, such Dissenting Share shall not be converted into the right to receive the Fowler Merger Consideration but instead shall be cancelled and shall represent the right to receive only the payment, solely from Holdco, of the appraisal value of the Dissenting Shares to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such Person shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such Person to receive those rights under Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease and such shares of Fowler Common Stock shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and shall represent only the right to receive the Fowler Merger Consideration, without interest thereon. Fowler shall give Spieth prompt notice of any demands received by Fowler for appraisal of shares

9

of Fowler Common Stock, any written withdrawal or purported withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to Fowler prior to the Effective Time that relates to such demand, and Spieth shall have the right to control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Fowler shall not settle, make any payments with respect to or offer to settle, any claim with respect to Dissenting Shares without the written consent of Spieth, in Spieth’s sole discretion. Any portion of the Fowler Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 4.02(a) to pay for Fowler Common Stock for which appraisal rights have been perfected as described in this Section 4.05 shall be returned to Holdco, upon demand.

ARTICLE V.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF FOWLER

Except as set forth in the disclosure letter delivered to NAM by Fowler at or prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Fowler Disclosure Letter”) and making reference to the particular subsection of this Agreement to which exception is being taken (provided that any information set forth in one section or subsection of the Fowler Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to apply to each other section or subsection thereof to which its relevance is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure), Fowler represents and warrants to NAM that:

Section 5.01 Existence; Good Standing; Corporate Authority. Fowler is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Fowler is duly qualified to do business and, to the extent such concept or a similar concept exists in the relevant jurisdiction, is in good standing under the laws of any jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it therein or in which the transaction of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and is not reasonably likely to have a Fowler Material Adverse Effect. Fowler has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted. The copies of Fowler’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws previously made available to NAM are true and correct and contain all amendments as of the date of this Agreement.

Section 5.02 Authorization, Validity and Effect of Agreements. Fowler has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement to which it is, or at the Effective Time will be, a party and, upon receipt of the Fowler Stockholder Approval, the requisite power and authority to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution by Fowler of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is, or at the Effective Time will be, a party, and the consummation by Fowler of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on behalf of Fowler, other than the receipt of the Fowler Stockholder Approval. Fowler has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered or will dully execute and deliver prior to the Closing each of the other Transaction Agreements to which it is, or at the Effective Time will be, a party. Assuming this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement to which it is, or at the Effective Time will be, a party, constitutes or will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the other parties hereto or thereto, this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements to which Fowler is, or at the Effective Time will be, a party will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation

10

of Fowler, enforceable against Fowler in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.21, Fowler has taken all action necessary to render the restrictions set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL, and any other applicable takeover law restricting or purporting to restrict business combinations, inapplicable to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

As of the date of this Agreement, except as set forth in this Section 5.03, and the Voting Agreements there are no outstanding shares of capital stock and there are no options, warrants, calls, subscriptions, convertible securities or other rights, agreements or commitments which obligate Fowler or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, transfer, sell or register any shares of capital stock or other voting securities of Fowler or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, each Fowler Material Contract is in full force and effect, and Fowler and each of its Subsidiaries have in all material respects performed all obligations required to be performed by them to date under each Fowler Material Contract to which they are party, except where such failure to be in full force and effect or such failure to perform, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and is not reasonably likely to have a Fowler Material Adverse Effect. Except for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not reasonably likely to have a Fowler Material Adverse Effect, neither Fowler nor any of its Subsidiaries (x) knows of, or has received written notice of, any breach of or violation or default under (nor, to the knowledge of Fowler, does there exist any condition which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would result in such a violation or default under) any Fowler Material Contract or (y) has received written notice of the desire of the other party or parties to any such Fowler Material Contract to exercise any rights such party has to cancel, terminate or repudiate such contract or exercise remedies thereunder. Each Fowler Material Contract is enforceable by Fowler or a Subsidiary of Fowler in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity, except where such unenforceability does not constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a Fowler Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.22 Capital Expenditure Program. As of the date of this Agreement, Section 5.22 of the Fowler Disclosure Letter accurately sets forth in all material respects the capital expenditures that are forecast to be incurred in 2020 on a quarterly basis.

Section 5.23 Takeover Statutes; Rights Plans. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.21, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not cause to be applicable to the Fowler Merger the restrictions on “business combinations” set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL or any similar provision (a “Takeover Statute”). Fowler does not have any preferred share purchase rights plan or similar rights plan in effect to which Fowler or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, party or otherwise bound.

24

Section 5.24 Property. Except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Fowler Material Adverse Effect, each of Fowler or its Subsidiaries owns and has good and valid title to all of its owned real property and good and valid title to all its owned personal property, and has good and valid leasehold interests in all of its leased real properties free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, in each case, to an extent necessary and sufficient to conduct their respective businesses as currently conducted and proposed by the Board of Directors of Fowler to be conducted. Except as has not had and is not reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Fowler Material Adverse Effect, all leases under which Fowler or any of its Subsidiaries lease any real or personal property (“Fowler Leases”) are valid and effective against Fowler or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of Fowler, the counterparties thereto, in accordance with their respective terms, and there is not, under any of such Fowler Leases, any existing material default by Fowler or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of Fowler, the counterparties thereto, or any event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a material default by Fowler or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of Fowler, the counterparties thereto.

Section 5.25 Financing. Fowler has entered into and has delivered to Holdco a true, complete and accurate fully executed copy of the (a) the Commitment Letter and (b) the related fee letters; provided that such fee letters may be redacted solely with respect to economic terms in a customary manner (the “Fee Letters”), including all exhibits, schedules, annexes and amendments to such letters in effect as of the date hereof, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 5.25 (the “Financing Letters”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Financing Sources party thereto have committed to provide the amounts set forth therein (the provision of such funds as set forth therein, the “ABL Financing”) for the purposes set forth in such Financing Letters. The Financing Letters (i) have not been amended, restated or otherwise modified or waived prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the respective commitments contained therein have not been withdrawn (to the knowledge of Fowler), rescinded (to the knowledge of Fowler), amended, restated or otherwise modified in any respect prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and (ii) to the knowledge of Fowler, no such withdrawal, rescission, amendment, restatement, modification or waiver is contemplated (other than any such amendment, modification, or restatement to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who have not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof). To the knowledge of Fowler, as of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred or circumstance exists which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach or default on the part of Fowler under the Commitment Letter or otherwise result in any portion of the ABL Financing not being available. As of the date of this Agreement, Fowler is not aware of any fact, event or other occurrence that makes any of the representations or warranties of Fowler or its affiliates in the Financing Letters that constitutes a condition precedent to the provision of the ABL Financing on the Closing Date inaccurate in any material respect. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.25, no representation or warranty is made by Fowler pursuant to this Section 5.25 with respect to any matter arising out of any action, inaction or omission by Spieth, NAM or their respective Subsidiaries.

Except as set forth in the disclosure letter delivered to Fowler by Spieth and NAM at or prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “NAM Disclosure Letter”) and making reference to the particular subsection of this Agreement to which exception is being taken (provided that any information set forth in one section or subsection of the NAM Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to apply to each other section or subsection thereof to which its relevance is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure), each of Spieth and NAM jointly and severally represents and warrants to Fowler that:

Section 6.01 Existence; Good Standing; Corporate Authority. Each of Spieth and NAM is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of Spieth and NAM is duly qualified to do business and, to the extent such concept or a similar concept exists in the relevant jurisdiction, is in good standing under the laws of any jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it therein or in which the transaction of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and is not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect. Each of Spieth and NAM has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted. The copies of the certificates of incorporation and bylaws of Spieth and NAM previously made available to Fowler are true and correct and contain all amendments as of the date of this Agreement.

Each of Spieth and NAM has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Transaction Agreement to which it is, or at the Effective Time will be, a party, and the requisite power and authority to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution by each of Spieth and NAM of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is, or at the Effective Time will be, a party, and the consummation by each of Spieth and NAM of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on behalf of each of them. Each of Spieth and NAM has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered or will dully execute and deliver prior to the Closing each of the other Transaction Agreements to which it is, or at the Effective Time will be, a party.

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.20, NAM has taken all action necessary to render the restrictions set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL, and any other applicable takeover law restricting or purporting to restrict business combinations, inapplicable to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

To the knowledge of NAM, there are no past or present facts, conditions or circumstances that interfere with the conduct of any of their respective businesses in the manner now conducted or which interfere with continued compliance with any Environmental Law currently in effect, except for any non-compliance or interference that, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and is not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect.

36

(b) Except as set forth in Section 6.15 of the NAM Disclosure Letter, (i) no judicial or administrative proceedings or governmental investigations are pending or, to the knowledge of NAM, threatened against NAM or its Subsidiaries that allege the violation of or seek to impose liability pursuant to any Environmental Law, and (ii) to the knowledge of NAM or its Subsidiaries, there are no past or present facts, conditions or circumstances at, on or arising out of, or otherwise associated with, any current or former businesses, assets or properties of NAM or any Subsidiary of NAM, including but not limited to on-site or off-site disposal, release or spill of any Hazardous Materials, in each case, which violate Environmental Law or are reasonably likely to give rise under Environmental Law to (A) costs, expenses, liabilities or obligations for any investigations, monitoring cleanup, remediation, disposal or corrective action, (B) claims arising for personal injury, property damage or damage to natural resources, or (C) fines, penalties or injunctive relief, except in the case of clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.16 Intellectual Property. NAM and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate licenses or other valid rights to use all Intellectual Property Rights used or held for use in connection with their respective businesses as currently being conducted, except where the failure to own or possess such licenses and other rights, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and is not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect, and there are no assertions or claims challenging the validity of any of the foregoing that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect. Section 6.16 of the NAM Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list as of the date hereof of all registered, issued, and applied-for Intellectual Property Rights owned or purported to be owned by NAM and its Subsidiaries. The conduct of NAM’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted does not conflict with any patents, patent rights, licenses, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights or copyrights of others, except for such conflicts that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not constitute a NAM Material Adverse Effect, NAM and its Subsidiaries have taken such steps as are reasonably necessary to protect their respective rights in material trade secrets. There is no material infringement of any proprietary right owned by or licensed by or to NAM or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect. NAM and its Subsidiaries maintain commercially reasonable policies and procedures regarding data security and privacy, including procedures reasonably designed to detect and remedy data security breaches and unauthorized access or unauthorized use of NAM’s and its Subsidiaries’

37

information technology systems, including systems that store or process personal data. NAM and its Subsidiaries are, in all material respects, in compliance with NAM’s privacy policies and all applicable privacy laws. To the knowledge of NAM, as of the date of this Agreement, there have been no material losses or thefts of material data or security breaches with respect to personal data. For the past five years, NAM and its Subsidiaries have not been involved in any action related to personal data, privacy policies, or privacy laws.

Section 6.17 Decrees, Etc. Except for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect, (a) no order, writ, fine, injunction, decree, judgment, award or determination of any court or Governmental Authority or any arbitral or other dispute resolution body has been issued or entered against Spieth (in relation to the operation of the NAM Business), NAM or any of their respective Subsidiaries that continues to be in effect that materially affects the ownership or operation of any of their respective assets and (b) since January 1, 2016, no criminal order, writ, fine, injunction, decree, judgment or determination of any court or Governmental Authority has been issued against Spieth (in relation to the operation of the NAM Business), NAM or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

Section 6.18 Insurance.

(a) Except for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect, NAM and its Subsidiaries maintain insurance coverage with financially responsible insurance companies in such amounts and against such losses as are customary in the industries in which NAM and its Subsidiaries operate on the date of this Agreement.

(b) Except for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect, no event relating specifically to NAM or its Subsidiaries has occurred that could reasonably be expected, after the date of this Agreement, to result in an upward adjustment in premiums under any insurance policies they maintain. Excluding insurance policies that have expired and been replaced in the ordinary course of business, no excess liability or protection and indemnity insurance policy has been canceled by the insurer within one year prior to the date of this Agreement, and no threat in writing has been made to cancel (excluding cancellation upon expiration or failure to renew) any such insurance policy of NAM or any Subsidiary of NAM during the period of one year prior to the date of this Agreement. Prior to the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred, including the failure by NAM or any Subsidiary of NAM to give any notice or information or by giving any inaccurate or erroneous notice or information, which materially limits or impairs the rights of NAM or any Subsidiary of NAM under any such excess liability or protection and indemnity insurance policies.

(c) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements will not impair the rights of NAM and its Subsidiaries in respect of any insurance policies covering the NAM Business in respect of any period prior to the Effective Time and, immediately following the Effective Time, NAM and its Subsidiaries will have the right to assert claims and receive coverage under such insurance policies to the same extent that Spieth and its Subsidiaries were entitled to assert claims and receive coverage under such insurance policies prior to the Effective Time.

38

Section 6.19 No Brokers. Neither Spieth or NAM has entered into any contract, arrangement or understanding with any Person or firm which may result in the obligation of Holdco, Fowler, or NAM to pay any finder’s fees, brokerage or other like payments in connection with the negotiations leading to this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except that Spieth has retained Lazard Frères & Co. LLC (“Lazard”), as its financial advisor, the fees of which shall not exceed those set forth in Section 6.19 of the NAM Disclosure Letter.

Section 6.20 Opinion of Financial Advisor. The Board of Directors of Spieth has received the opinion of Lazard to the effect that, subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations relating to such opinion, the NAM Merger Consideration to be paid to Spieth and its Subsidiaries in the NAM Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to Spieth, it being agreed that such written opinion is solely for the benefit of the Board of Directors of Spieth and that none of Holdco, Fowler, NAM or the Merger Subs has any rights with respect to such opinion, nor may they rely on such opinion.

Section 6.21 Fowler Stock Ownership. Neither NAM nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any shares of capital stock of Fowler or any other securities convertible into or otherwise exercisable to acquire shares of capital stock of Fowler. NAM is not an “interested stockholder” (within the meaning of Section 203 of the DGCL) with respect to Fowler and NAM has not, within the last three years, been an “interested stockholder” with respect to Fowler.

Section 6.22 Certain Contracts.

(a) Except for this Agreement and except as set forth on Section 6.22 of the NAM Disclosure Letter, neither NAM nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any “material contract” (as such term is defined in item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K of the SEC) (all contracts of the type described in this Section 6.22(a) being referred to herein as the “NAM Material Contracts”).

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, each NAM Material Contract is in full force and effect, and NAM and each of its Subsidiaries have in all material respects performed all obligations required to be performed by them to date under each NAM Material Contract to which they are party, except where such failure to be in full force and effect or such failure to perform, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and is not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect. Except for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not reasonably likely to have a NAM Material Adverse Effect, neither NAM nor any of its Subsidiaries (x) knows of, or has received written notice of, any breach of or violation or default under (nor, to the knowledge of NAM, does there exist any condition which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would result in such a violation or default under) any NAM Material Contract or (y) has received written notice of the desire of the other party or parties to any such NAM Material Contract to exercise any rights such party has to cancel, terminate or repudiate such contract or exercise remedies thereunder. Each NAM Material Contract is enforceable by NAM or a Subsidiary of NAM in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity, except where such unenforceability does not constitute, individually or in the aggregate, a NAM Material Adverse Effect.

39

Section 6.23 Capital Expenditure Program. As of the date of this Agreement, Section 6.23 of the NAM Disclosure Letter accurately sets forth in all material respects the capital expenditures that are forecast to be incurred in 2020 on a quarterly basis.

Section 6.24 Takeover Statutes; Rights Plans. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.20, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not cause to be applicable to the NAM Merger any Takeover Statute. NAM does not have any preferred share purchase rights plan or similar rights plan in effect to which NAM or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, party or otherwise bound.

Section 6.25 Property. Except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a NAM Material Adverse Effect, each of NAM or its Subsidiaries owns and has, or will at the Effective Time own and have, good and valid title to all of its owned real property and good and valid title to all owned personal property used in the NAM Business, and has or will at the Effective Time have, good and valid leasehold interests in all of the leased real properties used in the NAM Business free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, in each case, to an extent necessary and sufficient to conduct their respective businesses as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a NAM Material Adverse Effect, all leases under which the NAM Business leases any real or personal property (the “NAM Leases”) are valid and effective against NAM or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of Spieth and NAM, the counterparties thereto, in accordance with their respective terms and there is not, under any of such NAM Leases, any existing material default by Spieth or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of Spieth and NAM, the counterparties thereto, or any event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a material default by Spieth or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of Spieth and NAM, the counterparties thereto.

Section 6.26 Financing. Spieth has entered into and has delivered to Holdco a true, complete and accurate fully executed copy of (a) the Commitment Letter and (b) the Financing Letters, pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Financing Sources party thereto have committed to provide the ABL Financing for the purposes set forth in such Financing Letters. The Financing Letters (i) have not been amended, restated or otherwise modified or waived prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the respective commitments contained therein have not been withdrawn, rescinded, amended, restated or otherwise modified in any respect prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and (ii) to the knowledge of Spieth, no such withdrawal, rescission, amendment, restatement, modification or waiver is contemplated (other than any such amendment, modification, or restatement to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who have not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof). As of the date of this Agreement, the Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of SESI and, to the knowledge of Spieth, the other parties thereto, subject in each case to bankruptcy laws and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity. There are no conditions precedent or contingencies to the provision of the ABL Financing pursuant to the Financing

40

Letters, other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter. At the Closing, and assuming the availability of the ABL Financing, Holdco will have sufficient funds to pay all of Holdco’s obligations under this Agreement and all other amounts required to be paid by NAM and Fowler in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. To the knowledge of Spieth, as of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred or circumstance exists which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach or default on the part of Holdco, NAM Merger Sub or Fowler Merger Sub under the Commitment Letter or otherwise result in any portion of the ABL Financing not being available. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no side letters or other agreements or contracts that could affect the availability of the ABL Financing on the Closing Date other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Letters. SESI has paid in full any and all of the commitment fees and other fees it is required to pay on or prior to the date hereof under the terms of the Financing Letters and will pay all other commitment fees and other fees as required to be paid as a condition to the provision of the ABL Financing under the terms of the Financing Letters on or prior to the Closing. As of the date of this Agreement, Spieth is not (A) aware of any fact, event or other occurrence that makes any of the representations or warranties of SESI or its affiliates in the Financing Letters that constitutes a condition precedent to the provision of the ABL Financing on the Closing Date inaccurate in any material respect and (B) assuming the accuracy of representations and warranties of each of the other parties set forth in this Agreement and performance by each of the other parties of their respective obligations hereunder, has any reason to believe that, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article IX, any of the conditions to the ABL Financing contemplated by the Financing Letters will not be satisfied on a timely basis or that the ABL Financing contemplated by the Financing Letters will not be made available on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.26, no representation or warranty is made by Spieth pursuant to this Section 6.26 with respect to any matter arising out of any action, inaction or omission by Fowler or its respective Subsidiaries.

Section 7.02 No Solicitation by Fowler.

(a) Fowler shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other advisor, agent or representative (collectively, “Representatives”) retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly through another person, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage, or take any other action designed to, or which could reasonably be expected to, facilitate, any inquiry or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Fowler Takeover Proposal or (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any confidential information in connection with, any Fowler Takeover Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any Representative of Fowler or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not such person is purporting to act on behalf of Fowler or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, shall be a breach of this Section 7.02 by Fowler. Fowler shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Fowler Takeover Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining Fowler Stockholder Approval, in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Fowler

Takeover Proposal that the Board of Directors of Fowler determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Fowler Superior Proposal, and which Fowler Takeover Proposal was made after the date of this Agreement and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 7.02, Fowler may, if its Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Fowler under Applicable Laws, and subject to compliance with Section 7.02(c) and after giving NAM written notice of such determination, (x) furnish information with respect to Fowler and its Subsidiaries to the person making such Fowler Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of such person than the Confidentiality Agreement, provided that such customary confidentiality agreement need not contain standstill provisions and provided that all such information has previously been provided to NAM or is provided to NAM prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such person, and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Fowler Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Fowler Takeover Proposal.

(b) Neither the Board of Directors of Fowler nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to NAM), or propose to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to NAM), the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by such Board of Directors or any such committee thereof of this Agreement, the Fowler Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) recommend, adopt or approve, or propose to recommend, adopt or approve, any Fowler Takeover Proposal or (C) fail to reaffirm within a reasonable period of time upon request by NAM (publicly if so requested) its recommendation of this Agreement, the Fowler Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any such action or failure described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Fowler Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or allow Fowler or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement constituting or related to, or that is intended to or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Fowler Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 7.02(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining Fowler Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of Fowler may make a Fowler Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Fowler Takeover Proposal if the Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Fowler under Applicable Laws; provided, however, that no Fowler Adverse Recommendation Change may be made until after the fifth business day following NAM’s receipt of written notice, whichever is later (a “Fowler Notice of Adverse Recommendation”) from Fowler advising NAM that the Board of Directors of Fowler intends to make a Fowler Adverse Recommendation Change and specifying the terms and conditions of the Fowler Superior Proposal, if any, that is related to such Fowler Adverse Recommendation Change (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Fowler Superior Proposal shall require a new Fowler Notice of Adverse Recommendation and a new five business day period).

45

Fowler shall (i) keep NAM informed of the status and material terms and conditions (including any change therein) of any such Fowler Takeover Proposal or inquiry and (ii) provide to NAM as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof with copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to Fowler or any of its Subsidiaries from any person that describes any of the material terms and conditions of any Fowler Takeover Proposal.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 7.02 shall prohibit Fowler from (x) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (y) from issuing a “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided that any such disclosure that addresses or relates to the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Board of Directors of Fowler with respect to this Agreement or a Fowler Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be a Fowler Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Board of Directors of Fowler in connection with such communication publicly states that its recommendation with respect to this Agreement has not changed or refers to the prior recommendation of the Board of Directors of Fowler.

THIS VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT, dated as of December 18, 2019 (the “Agreement”), by and among Superior Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NAM Parent”), New NAM, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NAM”), Forbes Energy Services Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Ascribe Capital LLC (the “Holder”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, NAM Parent, NAM, the Company, Spieth Newco, Inc , a Delaware corporation (“Holdco”), Spieth Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“NAM Merger Sub”), and Fowler Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Fowler Merger Sub”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the mergers as described in Section 1.01 of the Merger Agreement, as a result of which NAM Merger Sub will merge with and into NAM, with NAM surviving such merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco and Fowler Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving such merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (collectively, the “Mergers”), all on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Holder is the Beneficial Owner (as defined below) of (a) 1,286,306 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) and (b) any shares of Company Common Stock that will be issued at any time following the date hereof and prior to or on the record date of the meeting of Fowler’s stockholders to obtain the Fowler Stockholder Approval, pursuant to a conversion of (i) the Fowler Convertible PIK Notes or (ii) the Fowler Term Loan Agreement, and, in each case, held by the Holder (all such shares of Company Common Stock, collectively, the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and an inducement to NAM Parent, NAM and the Company entering into the Merger Agreement, the Holder is entering into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, each of NAM Parent, NAM and the Company desires that the Holder agree, and the Holder is willing to agree, subject to the limitations herein, not to Transfer (as defined below) any of its Shares, and to vote its Shares in a manner so as to facilitate consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and to undertake certain additional obligations in connection with the Mergers.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

GENERAL

1.1 Definitions. This Agreement is one of the “Voting Agreements” as defined in the Merger Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.

“Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such Rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or not such Rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, Beneficially Own and Beneficial Ownership shall also include record ownership of securities.

“Beneficial Owners” shall mean Persons who Beneficially Own the referenced securities.

“Transfer” means (a) any direct or indirect offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, grant of a security interest, hypothecation, disposition or other similar transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), either voluntary or involuntary, or entry into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to any offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, hypothecation, disposition or other transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), of any Shares owned by Holder (whether beneficially or of record), including in each case through the Transfer of any Person or any interest in any Person or (b) in respect of any capital stock or interest in any capital stock, to enter into any swap or any other agreement, transaction or series of transactions that results in an amount of Shares subject to Article III that is less than the amount of Shares subject to Article III as of the date hereof.

ARTICLE II

AGREEMENT TO RETAIN SHARES

2.1 Transfer and Encumbrance of Shares.

(a) From the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Holder shall not, with respect to any Shares Beneficially Owned by the Holder, (i) Transfer any such Shares or (ii) deposit any such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Shares or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein) or power of attorney with respect thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), the Holder may: (i) Transfer Shares to one or more Affiliates who (A) is a party to an agreement with NAM Parent and NAM with substantially similar terms as this Agreement or (B) if, as a condition to such Transfer, the recipient agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and delivers a copy of such executed written agreement to NAM Parent, NAM and the Company prior to the consummation of such transfer or (ii) Transfer Shares with the prior written consent of each of NAM Parent, NAM and the Company.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit direct or indirect transfers of equity or other interests in a Holder or any Shares by the Holder to an Affiliate of the Holder; provided, that a Transfer described in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to each of NAM Parent, and NAM, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Additional Purchases; Adjustments. The Holder agrees that any shares of Company Common Stock and any other shares of capital stock or other equity of the Company that the Holder purchases or otherwise acquires or with respect to which the Holder otherwise acquires voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Shares as of the date hereof, and the Holder shall promptly notify the Company of the existence of any such after acquired Shares. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of the Company affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities.

2.3 Unpermitted Transfers; Involuntary Transfers. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Shares in violation of this Article II shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void ab initio. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Holder hereby authorizes and instructs the Company to instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Shares, subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company following the termination of this Agreement. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Holder’s Shares shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

AGREEMENT TO VOTE

3.1 Agreement to Vote. Prior to the Termination Date, the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), however called, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum and vote, or cause to be voted at such meeting, and consent to any written consent of the stockholders of the Company, all Shares:

(a) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approving any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers (the “Transaction Matters”); and

(b) against (A) any agreement, transaction or proposal that relates to a Fowler Takeover Proposal or any other transaction, proposal, agreement or action made in opposition to adoption of the Merger Agreement or in competition or inconsistent with the Mergers or matters contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (B) any action or agreement that would reasonably be

expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contained in the Merger Agreement or of the Holder contained in this Agreement; (C) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in (1) any condition to the consummation of the Mergers set forth in Article X of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or (2) any change to the voting rights of any class of shares of capital stock of the Company (including any amendments to the Company’s Organizational Documents); and (D) any other action that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, postpone or adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, or this Agreement. Any attempt by the Holder to vote, consent or express dissent with respect to (or otherwise to utilize the voting power of), the Shares in contravention of this Section 3.1 shall be null and void ab initio. If the Holder is the Beneficial Owner, but not the holder of record, of any Shares, the Holder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the holder of record and any nominees to vote (or exercise a consent with respect to) all of such Shares in accordance with this Section 3.1.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 3.1 shall not require any Holder to be present (in person or by proxy) or vote (or cause to be voted), any of the Shares to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that reduces the amount, changes the form of the Merger Consideration payable, imposes any material restrictions on or additional material conditions on the payment of the Merger Consideration, extends the Termination Date or otherwise adversely affects such Holder of the Company (in its capacity as such) in any material respect, and the Holder shall not be obligated to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement if it is amended in any such respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Holder shall remain free to vote (or execute consents or proxies with respect to) the Shares with respect to any matter other than as set forth in Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.1(b) in any manner such Holder deems appropriate, including in connection with the election of directors of the Company.

3.2 Change in Company Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Board of the Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) makes a Fowler Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Merger Agreement (the “Trigger Event”), the obligations of the Holder under Section 3.1 above shall be modified such that the number of Shares voted by the Holder in accordance with Section 3.1 above that the Holder must vote as set forth in Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.1(b) shall be equal to (rounded up to the nearest whole share):

(a) The number of Shares that would represent as of the time of the Trigger Event 17.5 percent of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote thereon.

3.3 Proxy. The Holder hereby irrevocably appoints as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, NAM Parent and any person designated in writing by NAM Parent, each of them individually, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to consent to or vote the Shares as indicated in Section 3.1 above. The Holder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and unconditional during the term of this Agreement and coupled with an interest and will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effect the intent of this proxy, and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by the Holder with respect to the Shares (and the Holder hereby represents that any such proxy is revocable). The proxy granted by the Holder shall be automatically revoked upon the occurrence of the Termination Date and NAM Parent may further terminate this proxy at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Holder.

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

4.1 Waiver of Appraisal Rights; Litigation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise, any rights of appraisal (including under Section 262 of the DGCL) relating to the Mergers (on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement) that the Holder may have by virtue of the ownership of any Shares. The Holder further agrees not to commence, join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against NAM Parent, NAM, Holdco or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates and each of their successors or directors relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any claim (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the Closing) or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Company Board in connection with the negotiation and entry into this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives any claim or rights whatsoever with respect to any of the foregoing. For purposes of this Section 4.1, “Merger Agreement” shall mean the Merger Agreement as of the date hereof and any amendments thereto in respect of which the Holder has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.5.

4.2 Further Assurances. The Holder agrees that from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date, the Holder shall take no action that would reasonably be likely to adversely affect or delay the ability to perform its respective covenants and agreements under this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDER

5.1 Representations and Warranties. The Holder hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Ownership. The Holder has, with respect to the Shares, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will continue to have, Beneficial Ownership of, good and valid title to and full and exclusive power to vote, issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth in Article III, agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement and to Transfer the Shares. The Shares constitute all of the shares of Company Common Stock owned of record or Beneficially Owned by the Holder as of the date hereof. Other than this Agreement, (i) there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or otherwise, to which the Holder is a party obligating the Holder to Transfer or cause to be Transferred to any Person any of the Shares and (ii) other than the Merger Agreement, no Person has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Shares.

(b) Organization; Authority. The Holder is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation. The Holder has full power and authority and is duly authorized to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Holder and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by NAM Parent and NAM) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms (except in all cases as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other Applicable Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at Applicable Law), and no other action is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by the Holder or the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder.

(c) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Holder of this Agreement will not (i) violate any order, judgment or decree applicable to the Holder or any of its Affiliates or (ii) conflict with, or result in a breach or default under, any agreement or instrument to which the Holder or any of its Affiliates is a party or any term or condition of its limited liability company agreement, except where such conflict, breach or default would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have an adverse effect on the Holder’s ability to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

(d) Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery by the Holder of this Agreement does not, and the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder will not, require the Holder or any of its Affiliates to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any Person or governmental or regulatory authority, except such filings and authorizations as may be required under the Exchange Act.

(e) Absence of Litigation. To the knowledge of the Holder, as of the date hereof, there is no proceeding pending against, or threatened in writing against the Holder that would prevent the performance by the Holder of its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, on a timely basis.

(f) Absence of Other Voting Agreements. Other than pursuant to Permitted Liens, none of the Shares is subject to any voting trust, proxy or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to voting, in each case, that is inconsistent with this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 No Solicitation. The Holder shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers or employees or any Representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly through another person, take any of the actions listed in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.02(a) of the Merger Agreement (without giving effect to any amendment or modification of such clauses after the date hereof). The Holder shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Fowler Takeover Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished. In addition, the Holder agrees to be subject to Section 7.02(c) of the Merger Agreement (without giving effect to any amendment or modification of such clauses after the date hereof) as if the Holder were “Fowler” thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company complies with its obligations under Section 7.02 of the Merger Agreement and participates in discussions or negotiations with a Person regarding a Fowler Takeover Proposal, Holder and/or any of its Representatives may engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person to the extent that the Company can take such actions under Section 7.02 of the Merger Agreement.

This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement and not otherwise), no past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor, consultant or Representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of or made under this Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) or of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.3 No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in NAM Parent or NAM any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Holder, and neither NAM Parent nor NAM shall have any authority to manage, direct, restrict, regulate, govern or administer any of the policies or operations of the Company or exercise any power or authority to direct the Holder in the voting or disposition of any Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

8.4 Disclosure.

Nothing in the Merger Agreement shall relieve the Holder from any liability arising out of or in connection with a breach of this Agreement.

8.6 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed on behalf of each of the Holder, NAM Parent, NAM, and the Company.

Except as provided in this Agreement, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, or delay or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default hereunder by any other party shall be deemed to impair any such right power or remedy, nor will it be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereunder.

8.19 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will, to the extent possible, be modified in such a manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable but so as to retain most nearly the intent of the parties as expressed herein, and if such a modification is not possible, that provision will be severed from this Agreement, and in either case the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

8.20 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery or any federal court located in the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware.

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and an inducement to NAM Parent, NAM and the Company entering into the Merger Agreement, the Holder is entering into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, each of NAM Parent, NAM and the Company desires that the Holder agree, and the Holder is willing to agree, subject to the limitations herein, not to Transfer (as defined below) any of its Shares, and to vote its Shares in a manner so as to facilitate consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and to undertake certain additional obligations in connection with the Mergers.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

GENERAL

1.1 Definitions. This Agreement is one of the “Voting Agreements” as defined in the Merger Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.

“Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such Rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or not such Rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, Beneficially Own and Beneficial Ownership shall also include record ownership of securities.

“Beneficial Owners” shall mean Persons who Beneficially Own the referenced securities.

“Transfer” means (a) any direct or indirect offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, grant of a security interest, hypothecation, disposition or other similar transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), either voluntary or involuntary, or entry into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to any offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, hypothecation, disposition or other transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), of any Shares owned by Holder (whether beneficially or of record), including in each case through the Transfer of any Person or any interest in any Person or (b) in respect of any capital stock or interest in any capital stock, to enter into any swap or any other agreement, transaction or series of transactions that results in an amount of Shares subject to Article III that is less than the amount of Shares subject to Article III as of the date hereof.

ARTICLE II

AGREEMENT TO RETAIN SHARES

2.1 Transfer and Encumbrance of Shares.

(a) From the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Holder shall not, with respect to any Shares Beneficially Owned by the Holder, (i) Transfer any such Shares or (ii) deposit any such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Shares or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein) or power of attorney with respect thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), the Holder may: (i) Transfer Shares to one or more Affiliates who (A) is a party to an agreement with NAM Parent and NAM with substantially similar terms as this Agreement or (B) if, as a condition to such Transfer, the recipient agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and delivers a copy of such executed written agreement to NAM Parent, NAM and the Company prior to the consummation of such transfer or (ii) Transfer Shares with the prior written consent of each of NAM Parent, NAM and the Company.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit direct or indirect transfers of equity or other interests in a Holder or any Shares by the Holder to an Affiliate of the Holder; provided, that a Transfer described in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to each of NAM Parent, and NAM, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Additional Purchases; Adjustments. The Holder agrees that any shares of Company Common Stock and any other shares of capital stock or other equity of the Company that the Holder purchases or otherwise acquires or with respect to which the Holder otherwise acquires voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Shares as of the date hereof, and the Holder shall promptly notify the Company of the existence of any such after acquired Shares. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of the Company affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities.

2.3 Unpermitted Transfers; Involuntary Transfers. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Shares in violation of this Article II shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void ab initio. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Holder hereby authorizes and instructs the Company to instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Shares, subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company following the termination of this Agreement. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Holder’s Shares shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

AGREEMENT TO VOTE

3.1 Agreement to Vote. Prior to the Termination Date, the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), however called, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum and vote, or cause to be voted at such meeting, and consent to any written consent of the stockholders of the Company, all Shares:

(a) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approving any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers (the “Transaction Matters”); and

(b) against (A) any agreement, transaction or proposal that relates to a Fowler Takeover Proposal or any other transaction, proposal, agreement or action made in opposition to adoption of the Merger Agreement or in competition or inconsistent with the Mergers or matters contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (B) any action or agreement that would reasonably be

expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contained in the Merger Agreement or of the Holder contained in this Agreement; (C) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in (1) any condition to the consummation of the Mergers set forth in Article X of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or (2) any change to the voting rights of any class of shares of capital stock of the Company (including any amendments to the Company’s Organizational Documents); and (D) any other action that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, postpone or adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, or this Agreement. Any attempt by the Holder to vote, consent or express dissent with respect to (or otherwise to utilize the voting power of), the Shares in contravention of this Section 3.1 shall be null and void ab initio. If the Holder is the Beneficial Owner, but not the holder of record, of any Shares, the Holder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the holder of record and any nominees to vote (or exercise a consent with respect to) all of such Shares in accordance with this Section 3.1.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 3.1 shall not require any Holder to be present (in person or by proxy) or vote (or cause to be voted), any of the Shares to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that reduces the amount, changes the form of the Merger Consideration payable, imposes any material restrictions on or additional material conditions on the payment of the Merger Consideration, extends the Termination Date or otherwise adversely affects such Holder of the Company (in its capacity as such) in any material respect, and the Holder shall not be obligated to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement if it is amended in any such respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Holder shall remain free to vote (or execute consents or proxies with respect to) the Shares with respect to any matter other than as set forth in Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.1(b) in any manner such Holder deems appropriate, including in connection with the election of directors of the Company.

3.2 Change in Company Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Board of the Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) makes a Fowler Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Merger Agreement (the “Trigger Event”), the obligations of the Holder under Section 3.1 above shall be modified such that the number of Shares voted by the Holder in accordance with Section 3.1 above that the Holder must vote as set forth in Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.1(b) shall be equal to (rounded up to the nearest whole share):

(a) The number of Shares that would represent as of the time of the Trigger Event 17.5 percent of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote thereon.

3.3 Proxy. The Holder hereby irrevocably appoints as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, NAM Parent and any person designated in writing by NAM Parent, each of them individually, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to consent to or vote the Shares as indicated in Section 3.1 above. The Holder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and unconditional during the term of this Agreement and coupled with an interest and will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effect the intent of this proxy, and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by the Holder with respect to the Shares (and the Holder hereby represents that any such proxy is revocable). The proxy granted by the Holder shall be automatically revoked upon the occurrence of the Termination Date and NAM Parent may further terminate this proxy at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Holder.

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

4.1 Waiver of Appraisal Rights; Litigation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise, any rights of appraisal (including under Section 262 of the DGCL) relating to the Mergers (on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement) that the Holder may have by virtue of the ownership of any Shares. The Holder further agrees not to commence, join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against NAM Parent, NAM, Holdco or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates and each of their successors or directors relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any claim (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the Closing) or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Company Board in connection with the negotiation and entry into this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives any claim or rights whatsoever with respect to any of the foregoing. For purposes of this Section 4.1, “Merger Agreement” shall mean the Merger Agreement as of the date hereof and any amendments thereto in respect of which the Holder has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.5.

4.2 Further Assurances. The Holder agrees that from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date, the Holder shall take no action that would reasonably be likely to adversely affect or delay the ability to perform its respective covenants and agreements under this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDER

5.1 Representations and Warranties. The Holder hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Ownership. The Holder has, with respect to the Shares, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will continue to have, Beneficial Ownership of, good and valid title to and full and exclusive power to vote, issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth in Article III, agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement and to Transfer the Shares. The Shares constitute all of the shares of Company Common Stock owned of record or Beneficially Owned by the Holder as of the date hereof. Other than this Agreement, (i) there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or otherwise, to which the Holder is a party obligating the Holder to Transfer or cause to be Transferred to any Person any of the Shares and (ii) other than the Merger Agreement, no Person has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Shares.

(b) Organization; Authority. The Holder is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation. The Holder has full power and authority and is duly authorized to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Holder and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by NAM Parent and NAM) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms (except in all cases as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other Applicable Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at Applicable Law), and no other action is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by the Holder or the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder.

(c) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Holder of this Agreement will not (i) violate any order, judgment or decree applicable to the Holder or any of its Affiliates or (ii) conflict with, or result in a breach or default under, any agreement or instrument to which the Holder or any of its Affiliates is a party or any term or condition of its limited liability company agreement, except where such conflict, breach or default would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have an adverse effect on the Holder’s ability to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

(d) Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery by the Holder of this Agreement does not, and the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder will not, require the Holder or any of its Affiliates to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any Person or governmental or regulatory authority, except such filings and authorizations as may be required under the Exchange Act.

(e) Absence of Litigation. To the knowledge of the Holder, as of the date hereof, there is no proceeding pending against, or threatened in writing against the Holder that would prevent the performance by the Holder of its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, on a timely basis.

(f) Absence of Other Voting Agreements. Other than pursuant to Permitted Liens, none of the Shares is subject to any voting trust, proxy or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to voting, in each case, that is inconsistent with this Agreement. None of the Shares is subject to any pledge agreement pursuant to which the Holder does not retain sole and exclusive voting rights with respect to the Shares subject to such pledge agreement at least until the occurrence of an event of default under the related debt instrument.

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 No Solicitation. The Holder shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers or employees or any Representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly through another person, take any of the actions listed in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.02(a) of the Merger Agreement (without giving effect to any amendment or modification of such clauses after the date hereof). The Holder shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Fowler Takeover Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished. In addition, the Holder agrees to be subject to Section 7.02(c) of the Merger Agreement (without giving effect to any amendment or modification of such clauses after the date hereof) as if the Holder were “Fowler” thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company complies with its obligations under Section 7.02 of the Merger Agreement and participates in discussions or negotiations with a Person regarding a Fowler Takeover Proposal, Holder and/or any of its Representatives may engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person to the extent that the Company can take such actions under Section 7.02 of the Merger Agreement.

Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement and not otherwise), no past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor, consultant or Representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of or made under this Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) or of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.3 No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in NAM Parent or NAM any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Holder, and neither NAM Parent nor NAM shall have any authority to manage, direct, restrict, regulate, govern or administer any of the policies or operations of the Company or exercise any power or authority to direct the Holder in the voting or disposition of any Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

Nothing in the Merger Agreement shall relieve the Holder from any liability arising out of or in connection with a breach of this Agreement.

This Agreement and the other Voting Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreements, the Merger Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules thereto), the Stockholders and Registration Rights Agreement and any other documents delivered by the parties in connection with the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect thereto.

8.15 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply.

8.16 Assignment; Binding Effect; Benefit. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except for the provisions of Article II, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto or their respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

8.17 Enforcement of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

8.18 Waiver. Except as provided in this Agreement, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, or delay or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default hereunder by any other party shall be deemed to impair any such right power or remedy, nor will it be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereunder.

8.19 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will, to the extent possible, be modified in such a manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable but so as to retain most nearly the intent of the parties as expressed herein, and if such a modification is not possible, that provision will be severed from this Agreement, and in either case the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

8.20 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery or any federal court located in the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware.

8.21 Delivery by Facsimile or Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

WHEREAS, the Holder is the Beneficial Owner (as defined below) of 118,084 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”);

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and an inducement to NAM Parent, NAM and the Company entering into the Merger Agreement, the Holder is entering into this Agreement with respect to the Shares; and

WHEREAS, each of NAM Parent, NAM and the Company desires that the Holder agree, and the Holder is willing to agree, subject to the limitations herein, not to Transfer (as defined below) any of its Shares, and to vote its Shares in a manner so as to facilitate consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

GENERAL

1.1 Definitions. This Agreement is one of the “Voting Agreements” as defined in the Merger Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.

“Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such Rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or not such Rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, Beneficially Own and Beneficial Ownership shall also include record ownership of securities.

“Beneficial Owners” shall mean Persons who Beneficially Own the referenced securities.

“Transfer” means (a) any direct or indirect offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, grant of a security interest, hypothecation, disposition or other similar transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), either voluntary or involuntary, or entry into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to any offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, hypothecation, disposition or other transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), of any Shares owned by Holder (whether beneficially or of record), including in each case through the Transfer of any Person or any interest in any Person or (b) in respect of any capital stock or interest in any capital stock, to enter into any swap or any other agreement, transaction or series of transactions that results in an amount of Shares subject to Article III that is less than the amount of Shares subject to Article III as of the date hereof.

ARTICLE II

AGREEMENT TO RETAIN SHARES

2.1 Transfer and Encumbrance of Shares.

(a) From the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Holder shall not, with respect to any Shares Beneficially Owned by the Holder, (i) Transfer any such Shares or (ii) deposit any such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Shares or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein) or power of attorney with respect thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), the Holder may Transfer Shares with the prior written consent of each of NAM Parent, NAM and the Company and if such consent is provided, as a condition to such Transfer, the recipient agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and delivers a copy of such executed written agreement to NAM Parent, NAM and the Company prior to the consummation of such Transfer.

2.2 Additional Purchases; Adjustments. The Holder agrees that any shares of Company Common Stock and any other shares of capital stock or other equity of the Company that the Holder purchases or otherwise acquires or with respect to which the Holder otherwise acquires voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Shares as of the date hereof, and the Holder shall promptly notify the Company of the existence of any such after acquired Shares. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of the Company affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities.

2.3 Unpermitted Transfers; Involuntary Transfers. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Shares in violation of this Article II shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void ab initio. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Holder hereby authorizes and instructs the Company to instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Shares, subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company following the termination of this Agreement. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Holder’s Shares shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

AGREEMENT TO VOTE

3.1 Agreement to Vote. Prior to the Termination Date, the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), however called, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum and vote, or cause to be voted at such meeting, and consent to any written consent of the stockholders of the Company, all Shares:

(a) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approving any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers (the “Transaction Matters”); and

(b) against (A) any agreement, transaction or proposal that relates to a Fowler Takeover Proposal or any other transaction, proposal, agreement or action made in opposition to adoption of the Merger Agreement or in competition or inconsistent with the Mergers or matters contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (B) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contained in the Merger Agreement or of the Holder contained in this Agreement; (C) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in (1) any condition to the consummation of the Mergers set forth in Article X of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or (2) any change to the voting rights of any class of shares of capital stock of the Company (including any amendments to the Company’s Organizational Documents); and (D) any other action that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, postpone or adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, or this Agreement. Any attempt by the Holder to vote, consent or express dissent with respect to (or otherwise to utilize the voting power of), the Shares in contravention of this Section 3.1 shall be null and void ab initio. If the Holder is the Beneficial Owner, but not the holder of record, of any Shares, the Holder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the holder of record and any nominees to vote (or exercise a consent with respect to) all of such Shares in accordance with this Section 3.1.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 3.1 shall not require any Holder to be present (in person or by proxy) or vote (or cause to be voted), any of the Shares to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that reduces the amount, changes the form of the Merger Consideration payable, imposes any material restrictions on or additional material conditions on the payment of the Merger Consideration, extends the Termination Date or otherwise adversely affects such Holder of the Company (in its capacity as such) in any material respect, and the Holder shall not be obligated to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement if it is amended in any such respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Holder shall remain free to vote (or execute consents or proxies with respect to) the Shares with respect to any matter other than as set forth in Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.1(b) in any manner such Holder deems appropriate, including in connection with the election of directors of the Company.

3.2 Change in Company Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Board of the Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) makes a Fowler Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Merger Agreement, the Holder shall not be obligated to vote the Shares in accordance with Section 3.1.

3.3 Proxy. The Holder hereby irrevocably appoints as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, NAM Parent and any person designated in writing by NAM Parent, each of them individually, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to consent to or vote the Shares as indicated in Section 3.1 above. The Holder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and unconditional during the term of this Agreement and coupled with an interest and will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effect the intent of this proxy, and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by the Holder with respect to the Shares (and the Holder hereby represents that any such proxy is revocable). The proxy granted by the Holder shall be automatically revoked upon the occurrence of the Termination Date and NAM Parent may further terminate this proxy at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Holder.

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

4.1 Waiver of Appraisal Rights; Litigation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise, any rights of appraisal (including under Section 262 of the DGCL) relating to the Mergers (on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement) that the Holder may have by virtue of the ownership of any Shares. The Holder further agrees not to commence, join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against NAM Parent, NAM, Holdco or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates and each of their successors or directors relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement as of the date hereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any claim (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the Closing) or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Company Board in connection with the negotiation and entry into this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives any claim or rights whatsoever with respect to any of the foregoing. For purposes of this Section 4.1, “Merger Agreement” shall mean the Merger Agreement as of the date hereof and any amendments thereto in respect of which the Holder has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4.

4.2 Further Assurances. The Holder agrees that from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date, the Holder shall take no action that would reasonably be likely to adversely affect or delay the ability to perform its respective covenants and agreements under this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDER

5.1 Representations and Warranties. The Holder hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Ownership. The Holder has, with respect to the Shares, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will continue to have, Beneficial Ownership of, good and valid title to and full and exclusive power to vote, issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth in Article III, agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement and to Transfer the Shares. The Shares constitute all of the shares of Company Common Stock owned of record or Beneficially Owned by the Holder as of the date hereof. Other than this Agreement, (i) there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or otherwise, to which the Holder is a party obligating the Holder to Transfer or cause to be Transferred to any Person any of the Shares and (ii) other than the Merger Agreement, no Person has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Shares.

(b) Authority. The Holder is an individual resident of Texas. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Holder and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by NAM Parent, NAM and the Company) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms (except in all cases as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other Applicable Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at Applicable Law), and no other action is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by the Holder or the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder.

(c) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Holder of this Agreement will not (i) violate any order, judgment or decree applicable to the Holder or any of its Affiliates or (ii) conflict with, or result in a breach or default under, any agreement or instrument to which the Holder or any of its Affiliates is a party or any term or condition of its limited liability company agreement, except where such conflict, breach or default would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have an adverse effect on the Holder’s ability to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

(d) Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery by the Holder of this Agreement does not, and the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder will not, require the Holder to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any Person or governmental or regulatory authority, except such filings and authorizations as may be required under the Exchange Act.

(e) Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no proceeding pending against, or threatened in writing against the Holder that would prevent the performance by the Holder of its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, on a timely basis.

(f) Absence of Other Voting Agreements. Other than pursuant to Permitted Liens, none of the Shares is subject to any voting trust, proxy or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to voting, in each case, that is inconsistent with this Agreement.

7.11 Interpretation. The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles or Sections, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” References to “the date hereof” shall mean the date of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the “knowledge” of the Holder means the actual knowledge of the Holder after due inquiry. As used herein, (a) the term “Person” means 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 and (b) an “Affiliate” mean with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly, controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such Person, through one or more intermediaries or otherwise; provided, however, that solely for purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Holder.

7.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof each signed by less than all, but together signed by all of the parties hereto.

7.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Voting Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreements, the Merger Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules thereto), the Stockholders and Registration Rights Agreement and any other documents delivered by the parties in connection with the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect thereto.

7.14 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply.

7.15 Assignment; Binding Effect; Benefit. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except for the provisions of Article II, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto or their respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

7.16 Enforcement of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

7.17 Waiver. Except as provided in this Agreement, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, or delay or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default hereunder by any other party shall be deemed to impair any such right power or remedy, nor will it be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereunder.

7.18 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will, to the extent possible, be modified in such a manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable but so as to retain most nearly the intent of the parties as expressed herein, and if such a modification is not possible, that provision will be severed from this Agreement, and in either case the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

GENERAL

1.1 Definitions. This Agreement is one of the “Voting Agreements” as defined in the Merger Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.

“Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such Rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or not such Rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, Beneficially Own and Beneficial Ownership shall also include record ownership of securities.

“Beneficial Owners” shall mean Persons who Beneficially Own the referenced securities.

“Transfer” means (a) any direct or indirect offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, grant of a security interest, hypothecation, disposition or other similar transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), either voluntary or involuntary, or entry into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to any offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, hypothecation, disposition or other transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), of any Shares owned by Holder (whether beneficially or of record), including in each case through the Transfer of any Person or any interest in any Person or (b) in respect of any capital stock or interest in any capital stock, to enter into any swap or any other agreement, transaction or series of transactions that results in an amount of Shares subject to Article III that is less than the amount of Shares subject to Article III as of the date hereof.

ARTICLE II

AGREEMENT TO RETAIN SHARES

2.1 Transfer and Encumbrance of Shares.

(a) From the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Holder shall not, with respect to any Shares Beneficially Owned by the Holder, (i) Transfer any such Shares or (ii) deposit any such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Shares or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein) or power of attorney with respect thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), the Holder may Transfer Shares with the prior written consent of each of NAM Parent, NAM and the Company and if such consent is provided, as a condition to such Transfer, the recipient agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and delivers a copy of such executed written agreement to NAM Parent, NAM and the Company prior to the consummation of such Transfer.

2.2 Additional Purchases; Adjustments. The Holder agrees that any shares of Company Common Stock and any other shares of capital stock or other equity of the Company that the Holder purchases or otherwise acquires or with respect to which the Holder otherwise acquires voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Shares as of the date hereof, and the Holder shall promptly notify the Company of the existence of any such after acquired Shares. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of the Company affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities.

2.3 Unpermitted Transfers; Involuntary Transfers. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Shares in violation of this Article II shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void ab initio. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Holder hereby authorizes and instructs the Company to instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Shares, subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company following the termination of this Agreement. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Holder’s Shares shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

AGREEMENT TO VOTE

3.1 Agreement to Vote. Prior to the Termination Date, the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), however called, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum and vote, or cause to be voted at such meeting, and consent to any written consent of the stockholders of the Company, all Shares:

(a) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approving any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers (the “Transaction Matters”); and

(b) against (A) any agreement, transaction or proposal that relates to a Fowler Takeover Proposal or any other transaction, proposal, agreement or action made in opposition to adoption of the Merger Agreement or in competition or inconsistent with the Mergers or matters contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (B) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contained in the Merger Agreement or of the Holder contained in this Agreement; (C) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in (1) any condition to the consummation of the Mergers set forth in Article X of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or (2) any change to the voting rights of any class of shares of capital stock of the Company (including any amendments to the Company’s Organizational Documents); and (D) any other action that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, postpone or adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, or this Agreement. Any attempt by the Holder to vote, consent or express dissent with respect to (or otherwise to utilize the voting power of), the Shares in contravention of this Section 3.1 shall be null and void ab initio. If the Holder is the Beneficial Owner, but not the holder of record, of any Shares, the Holder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the holder of record and any nominees to vote (or exercise a consent with respect to) all of such Shares in accordance with this Section 3.1.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 3.1 shall not require any Holder to be present (in person or by proxy) or vote (or cause to be voted), any of the Shares to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that reduces the amount, changes the form of the Merger Consideration payable, imposes any material restrictions on or additional material conditions on the payment of the Merger Consideration, extends the Termination Date or otherwise adversely affects such Holder of the Company (in its capacity as such) in any material respect, and the Holder shall not be obligated to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement if it is amended in any such respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Holder shall remain free to vote (or execute consents or proxies with respect to) the Shares with respect to any matter other than as set forth in Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.1(b) in any manner such Holder deems appropriate, including in connection with the election of directors of the Company.

3.2 Change in Company Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Board of the Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) makes a Fowler Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Merger Agreement, the Holder shall not be obligated to vote the Shares in accordance with Section 3.1.

3.3 Proxy. The Holder hereby irrevocably appoints as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, NAM Parent and any person designated in writing by NAM Parent, each of them individually, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to consent to or vote the Shares as indicated in Section 3.1 above. The Holder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and unconditional during the term of this Agreement and coupled with an interest and will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effect the intent of this proxy, and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by the Holder with respect to the Shares (and the Holder hereby represents that any such proxy is revocable). The proxy granted by the Holder shall be automatically revoked upon the occurrence of the Termination Date and NAM Parent may further terminate this proxy at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Holder.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise, any rights of appraisal (including under Section 262 of the DGCL) relating to the Mergers (on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement) that the Holder may have by virtue of the ownership of any Shares. The Holder further agrees not to commence, join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against NAM Parent, NAM, Holdco or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates and each of their successors or directors relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement as of the date hereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any claim (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the Closing) or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Company Board in connection with the negotiation and entry into this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives any claim or rights whatsoever with respect to any of the foregoing.
