Merger Agreement

On September 15, 2019, Energy Transfer LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“ET”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Nautilus Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of ET (“Merger Sub”), and SemGroup Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SemGroup”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into SemGroup (the “Merger”), with SemGroup continuing as the surviving entity and a subsidiary of ET. On September 15, 2019, the board of directors of ET’s general partner, and the board of directors of SemGroup unanimously approved the Merger Agreement.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of SemGroup (such shares, collectively, the “SemGroup Common Stock” and each, a “Share”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive the following merger consideration: (i) $6.80 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Cash Amount”), and (ii) 0.7275 (the “Exchange Ratio”) common units representing limited partner interests in ET (the “ET Common Units” and such consideration collectively, the “Merger Consideration”). In accordance with that certain Certificate of Designations of Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock of SemGroup Corporation, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 19, 2018 (the “Certificate of Designations”), each share of Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of SemGroup (the “SemGroup Preferred Stock”) that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will, at the election of the holders of a majority of such shares, either (i) convert into Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time and receive the Merger Consideration, (ii) be exchanged for a “Substantially Equivalent Security” (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) or (iii) be redeemed by SemGroup for cash at a price per share equal to 101% of the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Certificate of Designations).

Each award of restricted share units, restricted shares and performance share units of SemGroup will be treated as follows:

SemGroup 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 SemGroup 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 SemGroup’s board of directors, or any committee thereof, 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, SemGroup may furnish non-public information regarding SemGroup 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 SemGroup provides notice and furnishes any non-public information provided to the maker of the acquisition proposal to ET substantially concurrently with providing such non-public information to the maker of the acquisition proposal.

The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including: (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of SemGroup Common Stock and SemGroup Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis), voting as a single class, entitled to vote thereon, (ii) absence of any court order or regulatory injunction prohibiting completion of the Merger, (iii) expiration or termination of review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), (iv) effectiveness of ET’s registration statement on Form S-4 to register the ET Common Units to be issued in the Merger, (v) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (vi) the authorization for listing of ET Common Units to be issued in the Merger on the NYSE, and (vii) compliance by the other party in all material respects with its covenants.

ET and SemGroup 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 ET’s and SemGroup’s business between the date of the signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing date of the Merger and (ii) the efforts of the parties to cause the Merger to be completed, including actions which may be necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, ET must take any and all steps necessary to obtain antitrust clearance in order to facilitate closing of the Merger, including by agreeing to divest assets, modify contracts or restrict operations, in each case in order to obtain any approvals, consents, clearances, expirations or terminations of waiting periods, registrations, permits, authorizations or other confirmations or to avoid the commencement of any action to prohibit the Merger, or to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any action or proceeding seeking to prohibit the Merger or delay the Closing beyond June 30, 2020 (or, if the HSR clearance has not yet been received, September 30, 2020).

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for ET and SemGroup. The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, SemGroup may be required to reimburse ET’s expenses up to $27.25 million or pay ET a termination fee equal to $54.5 million.

(g) No Liability.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. If withholding is taken in Common Units, Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent (as applicable) shall be treated as having sold such Common Units for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such Common Units at the time of such deemed sale.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4(e) and Section 5.4(f), neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof may: (i) withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify, the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent, including by failing to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus; (ii) approve, adopt, authorize, resolve or recommend, or propose to approve, adopt, authorize, resolve or recommend, or allow the Company 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 Contract or any tender or exchange offer providing for, with respect to, or in connection with, any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) fail to reaffirm the Company Recommendation within five (5) business days of a request therefor by Parent following the date on which any Acquisition Proposal or material modification thereto is received by the Company or is published, sent or communicated to the Company’s stockholders; provided that if the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled to be held within five (5) business days of such request, within three (3) business days after such request and, in any event, prior to the date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (provided, that Parent may not make any such request on more than two (2) occasions with respect to each Acquisition Proposal, which for these purposes includes any revision, amendment, update or supplement to such Acquisition Proposal); (iv) fail to publicly announce, within five (5) business days after a tender offer or exchange offer relating to the securities of the Company shall have been commenced, a statement disclosing that the Board of Directors of the Company recommends rejection of such tender offer or exchange offer and affirms the Company Recommendation; or (v) approve any transaction under, or any third party becoming, an “interested stockholder” under, Section 203 of the DGCL (or similar concepts under any other applicable Takeover Law) (any action described in this Section 5.4(d), a “Change of Recommendation”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company may at any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, make a Change of Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h), if (and only if): (i) (A) a written Acquisition Proposal (that did not result from a material breach of Section 5.4(a)) is made by a third party after the date hereof, and such Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn, (B) the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Offer and (C) following consultation with outside legal counsel, the Board of Directors of the Company determines that the failure to make a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Board of Directors of the Company to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; and (ii) (A) the Company provides Parent seventy-two (72) hours’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall include the information with respect to such Superior Offer that is specified in Section 5.4(b), (B) after providing such notice and prior to making such Change of Recommendation in connection with a Superior Offer or taking any action pursuant to Section 7.1(h) with respect to a Superior Offer, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with Parent during such seventy-two (72) hour period (to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement, such that the Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Offer, and (C) the Board of Directors of the Company

- 50 -

shall have considered in good faith any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent, and following such seventy-two (72) hour period, shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the Acquisition Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Offer if such changes of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent were to be given effect; provided that, in the event that the Acquisition Proposal is thereafter modified by the party making such Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide written notice of such modified Acquisition Proposal and shall again comply with this Section 5.4(e), except that the required seventy-two (72) hour period for notice, negotiation and consideration in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this Section 5.4(e) shall be shortened to a forty-eight (48) hour period in each instance.

(f) Other than in connection with a Superior Offer (which shall be subject to Section 5.4(e) and shall not be subject to this Section 5.4(f)), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Board of Directors of the Company from making a Change of Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event to the extent that (i) the Board of Directors of the Company, or any committee thereof, determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors of the Company to effect a Change of Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (ii) (A) the Company provides Parent seventy-two (72) hours’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall specify the reasons therefor, (B) after providing such notice and prior to making such Change of Recommendation, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with Parent during such seventy-two (72) hour period (to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement as to obviate the need for the Board of Directors to make a Change of Recommendation pursuant to this Section 5.4(f), and (C) the Board of Directors of the Company, or any committee thereof, shall have considered in good faith any changes to the terms of this Agreement offered in writing by Parent, and following such seventy-two (72) hour period, shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Board of Directors of the Company to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure that addresses or relates to the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation unless the Board of Directors of the Company 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 the Company.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Form S-4, which will include the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing and to keep the Form S-4 effective as long as necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. The Company will cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as soon as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act.

- 53 -

reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. Parent or the Company, as applicable, will advise the other promptly after it receives oral or written notice of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the Common Units issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information, and will promptly provide the other with copies of any written communication from the SEC or any state securities commission. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.

(b) The Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Laws and the Company Organizational Documents to duly give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders, to be held as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, to consider the adoption of this Agreement (the “Company Stockholders’ Meeting”). The Company will, except in the case of a Change of Recommendation, through its Board of Directors, recommend that its stockholders adopt this Agreement and will use reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of its stockholders required by the rules of the NYSE or applicable Laws to obtain such approvals.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in consultation with Parent, postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (i) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (ii) if there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock present to constitute a quorum to conduct business at such meeting, (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and/or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Company has determined after consultation with outside legal counsel is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the stockholders of the Company prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting or (iv) if the Company has delivered any notice contemplated by Section 5.4(e) and the time periods contemplated by Section 5.4(e) have not expired.

Section 5.6 Equity-Based Awards.

(a) Each award of restricted share units that corresponds to Shares and vests solely based on the passage of time (each, a “Company RSU Award”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, as of the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Parent and converted into a restricted unit award with respect to

- 54 -

Common Units (each an “Assumed RSU Award”). Each Assumed RSU Award shall be converted into a restricted unit award to receive a number of Common Units equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Shares subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) a ratio equal to (A)(1) the Per Share Cash Amount divided by (2) the closing price of one Common Unit on the NYSE on the day prior to the Closing Date plus (B) the Exchange Ratio (such ratio, the “Equity Exchange Ratio”), rounded up or down to the nearest whole Common Unit. Each Assumed RSU Award shall (i) otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and issuance) as were applicable to the Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) fully accelerate upon a termination without “cause,” for “good reason” or a result of the holder’s death or disability (as such terms are defined in Section 5.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule).

(b) Each award of performance share units that corresponds to Shares (each, a “Company PSU Award”), that is outstanding and vested as of the Effective Time, shall, as of the Effective Time, be cancelled in exchange for the payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to the number of Shares equal to the total number of Shares with respect to which such Company PSU Award has vested prior to the Effective Time. The Surviving Corporation shall issue to the holders of Company PSU Awards the Merger Consideration in respect of the applicable number of Shares described in the immediately preceding sentence, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, within five business days following the Effective Time. Each Company PSU Award that is outstanding and unvested as of the Effective Time shall automatically, and without any required action of the holder thereof, be cancelled without consideration.

(c) Each award of restricted Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Restricted Shares,” together with the Company RSU Awards and the Company PSU Awards, the “Company Equity Awards”) shall be assumed by Parent and converted into a restricted unit award with respect to Common Units (each an “Assumed Restricted Stock Award”). Each Assumed Restricted Stock Award shall be converted into a restricted unit award representing a contractual right upon vesting to receive a number of Common Units equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Shares subject to such Assumed Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Equity Exchange Ratio, rounded up or down to the nearest whole Common Unit. Each Assumed Restricted Stock Award shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and issuance) as were applicable to the Company Restricted Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Assumed Restricted Stock Award shall (i) otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and issuance) as were applicable to the Company Restricted Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) have distribution equivalent rights, and (iii) fully accelerate upon a termination without “cause,” for “good reason” or a result of the holder’s death or disability (as such terms are defined in Section 5.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule).

- 55 -

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Company Restricted Share and Company RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by a non-employee director of the Board of Directors (a “Director Restricted Share Award”) shall, as of the Effective Time, become fully vested and shall be cancelled in exchange for the payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to the total number of Shares subject to such Director Restricted Share Award. The Surviving Corporation shall issue to the holders of Director Restricted Share Awards the Merger Consideration in respect of the applicable number of Shares described in the immediately preceding sentence, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, within five (5) business days following the Effective Time.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions (including obtaining any necessary determinations and/or resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof, and, if appropriate, amending the terms of the ESPP) that may be necessary or required under the ESPP and applicable Laws to ensure that (i) no new offering period under the ESPP shall begin after September 30, 2019; (ii) with respect to the current offering period set to end on September 30, 2019 any remaining contributions held in the participant accounts under the ESPP after the purchase of shares of Company Common Stock at the end of such offering period shall be returned to the participant (without interest) after the last business day of the offering, (iii) the ESPP shall terminate in its entirety immediately prior to the Closing and no further rights shall be granted or exercised under the ESPP thereafter. Notwithstanding any restrictions on transfer of stock in the ESPP, all shares of Company Common Stock purchased under the ESPP shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.1(a).

(f) The Company shall take any and all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.6.

Section 5.7 Employee Matters.

(a) Following the Effective Time and until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, provide the individuals who are employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time (the “Current Employees”) and who continue employment during such time period with (i) annual base salary or wages (as applicable) that are no less favorable than the annual base salary or wages (as applicable) provided to such Current Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits in effect for such Current Employees as immediately prior to the Effective Time, as set forth on Section 5.7(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and (iii) other compensation and employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to either, at Parent’s election, (A) the other compensation and employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries, or (B) the other compensation and employee benefits provided to such Current Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding equity compensation, defined benefit and supplemental pensions and retiree medical benefits).

(b) For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and, solely for vacation and paid time off policies, severance plans and policies, and disability plans and policies, determining levels of benefits (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Current Employees after the Effective Time (the “New

- 56 -

Plans”), each Current Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Current Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan in which such Current Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Current Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to a Company Benefit Plan in which such Current Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Current Employee, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless and to the extent the individual, immediately prior to entry in the New Plans, was subject to the same such conditions under the comparable Old Plans, and (iii) credit amounts paid under any Old Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits under any corresponding New Plan for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the New Plan with respect to the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs. For purposes of this Agreement, “Benefit Plans” means any (i) “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)), (ii) bonus, incentive or deferred compensation or equity or equity-based compensation plan, program, policy or arrangement, including employer stock and incentive plans, (iii) severance, change in control, employment, consulting, retirement, retention or termination plan, program, agreement, policy or arrangement or (iv) other compensation or benefit plan, program, agreement, policy, practice, contract, arrangement or other obligation, whether or not in writing and whether or not subject to ERISA, including all bonus, cash or equity-based incentive, deferred compensation, stock purchase, health, medical, dental, disability, accident, life insurance, or vacation, paid time off, perquisite, fringe benefit, severance, change of control, retention, employment, separation, retirement, pension, or savings, plans, programs, policies, agreements or arrangements.

(c) Each Current Employee who as of immediately prior to the Effective Time is eligible for an annual bonus under a Company Benefit Plan for 2019, is employed by the Surviving Corporation or its affiliates on December 31, 2019 and is not terminated for cause (as defined in Section 5.7(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) shall receive an annual bonus for 2019 (to the extent such bonus is not otherwise paid prior to the Effective Time) in an amount equal to not less than 100% of the target amount of such bonus (the “2019 Annual Bonuses”); provided that if such Current Employee is terminated without cause (as such term is defined in Section 5.7(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) prior to December 31, 2019, such Current Employee shall remain entitled to receive a pro-rated portion of his or her 2019 Annual Bonus based on the number of days such Current Employee was employed during the 2019 calendar year. The 2019 Annual Bonuses shall be payable no later than date annual bonuses are paid to Parent’s other similarly situated employees, but in any event before March 15, 2020.

- 57 -

(d) Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Company Benefit Plans will occur at or prior to the Effective Time, as applicable.

(e) If requested by Parent, subject to the terms of any such Company Benefit Plan and applicable Law, the Company shall both (i) terminate any Company Benefit Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and containing a Code Section 401(k) cash or deferred arrangement (a “Company 401(k) Plan”) and (ii) fully vest each Current Employee in his or her account balance in such Company 401(k) Plan, in each case, effective at least one day prior to the Closing Date (the “ERISA Effective Date”). Prior to the ERISA Effective Date, the Company shall provide Parent with executed resolutions of its or, as applicable, its Subsidiary’s Board of Directors authorizing such termination and amending any such Company 401(k) Plan commensurate with its termination to the extent necessary to comply with all applicable Laws. The Company shall also take and/or cause its Subsidiaries to take such other actions in furtherance of the termination of each Company 401(k) Plan as Parent may reasonably require, including such actions as Parent may require prior to the Effective Time to support Parent obtaining a determination letter with respect to the termination of each Company 401(k) Plan following the ERISA Effective Date.

(f) In the event of the termination, pursuant to Section 5.7(d), of any Company 401(k) Plan (each such terminated Company 401(k) Plan, a “Terminated Company 401(k) Plan”), Parent or its applicable Subsidiary shall cause a defined contribution plan that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, that includes a cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code and that is established or maintained by Parent or its applicable Subsidiary (a “Parent 401(k) Plan”) to immediately accept eligible rollover distributions (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from current and former employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to such individuals’ account balances (including loans) under such Terminated Company 401(k) Plan, if elected by any such individuals. The rollovers described herein shall comply with applicable Law, and Parent and its Subsidiaries shall make all filings and take any actions required of such party under applicable Law in connection therewith. Current and former employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are participants in a Terminated Company 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be eligible immediately as of the Effective Time to participate in a Parent 401(k) Plan.

(g) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take all actions necessary to amend the Key Employee Severance Plan and the Severance Pay Plan as set forth on Section 5.7(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(h) Nothing in this Section 5.7 shall be construed as an amendment of, or undertaking to amend, any Benefit Plan or to prevent the amendment or termination of any Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms. Nothing in this Section 5.7 shall limit the right of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Current Employee at any time, subject to any rights to severance or other separation benefits accrued as of the applicable termination date under a Company Benefit Plan. Without limiting the generality of Section 8.13, the provisions of this Section 5.7 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former director, officer, employee, other service provider or independent contractor or any other person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Company Benefit Plan or other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement (including any Benefit Plan of Parent or its Subsidiaries) for any purpose.

In the event that any litigation, administrative or judicial action or other proceeding is commenced challenging the Merger or any of the proposed transactions, each of the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such litigation, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Each of the Company and Parent agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to satisfy the conditions to closing identified in Section 6.1 of this Agreement, including (i) responding to and complying with, as promptly as reasonably practicable, any request for information or documentary material regarding the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement from any relevant Governmental Entity and (ii) using reasonable best efforts to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event, prior to the End Date.

(d) Parent agrees to take, or cause to be taken (including by its Subsidiaries and Affiliates), any and all steps and to make, or cause to be made, any and all undertakings necessary to resolve such objections, if any, that a Governmental Entity may assert under Regulatory Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under Regulatory Laws that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than the End Date, including without limitation, (x) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, (i) the sale, divestiture, license, transfer or other disposition of any businesses, assets, equity interests, product lines or properties of Parent (or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), (ii) the creation, termination, amendment, modification or divestment of any contracts, agreements, commercial arrangements, relationships, ventures, rights or obligations of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (iii) any restrictions, impairments, agreements or actions that would limit Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, or their ability to own, manage, operate, conduct and retain, any of their businesses, assets, equity interests, product lines or properties or (iv) any other remedy or condition of any kind, in each case in order to obtain any approvals, consents, clearances, expirations or terminations of waiting periods, registrations, permits, authorizations or other confirmations or to avoid the commencement of any action to prohibit the Merger, or to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any action or proceeding seeking to prohibit the Merger or delay the Closing beyond the End Date.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, now existing in favor of the current or former, directors, officers or employees, as the case may be, of the Company or its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents or in any agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect any and all exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s and any of its Subsidiaries’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws or similar organizational documents in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or in any indemnification agreements of the Company or its Subsidiaries with any of their respective current or former directors, officers or employees in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions or the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses provisions of the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who immediately before the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any

- 61 -

claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and honor, guaranty and stand surety for, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor and perform, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 5.11 without limit as to time.

(b) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall jointly and severally, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing) each current and former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and each person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”), in each case against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to the extent required by with the Company Organizational Documents and the DGCL to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Action”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission by them in their capacities as such occurring or alleged to have occurred whether before or after the Effective Time (including acts or omissions in connection with such Indemnified Party serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company). In the event of any such Action, the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

(c) For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the coverage provided by the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the date hereof by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters existing or arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverages (the “Maximum Amount”) required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. If the Company in its sole discretion elects, then the Company may, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a “tail policy” with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time that were committed or alleged to have been committed by such Indemnified Parties in their capacity as such; provided that in no event shall the cost of such policy exceed six (6) times the Maximum Amount and, if such a “tail policy” is purchased, Parent shall have no further obligations under this Section 5.11(c). If a “tail policy” is purchased, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

- 62 -

(d) Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.11.

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the certificates of incorporation or bylaws or other organization documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, the DGCL or otherwise.

(f) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations of such party set forth in this Section 5.11. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.11 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

(g) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.11 shall not be terminated, amended or modified in any manner so as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party (including their successors, heirs and legal representatives) to whom this Section 5.11 applies without the consent of such Indemnified Party. It is expressly agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may be to the contrary, (i) the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.11 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.11, and (ii) this Section 5.11 shall survive consummation of the Merger and shall be enforceable by such Indemnified Parties and their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives against Parent and the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 5.12 Control of Operations. Without in any way limiting any party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, the parties understand and agree that (a) nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the other party’s operations prior to the Effective Time and (b) prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company and Parent shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations.

Section 5.13 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) or acquisitions of Common Units (including derivative securities with respect to Common Units) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Parent, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

- 63 -

Section 5.14 Intended Tax Treatment. Parent and the Company each acknowledges and agrees that, for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local tax purposes and pursuant to the Merger, each holder of Company Common Stock will be deemed to contribute its Company Common Stock to Parent in exchange for Merger Consideration and the deemed assumption of each such holder’s share of the liabilities of Parent pursuant to Section 752 of the Code. Parent and Company each acknowledges and agrees that, for U.S. federal income and applicable state and local tax purposes, such deemed transaction is intended to qualify for non-recognition of gain or loss pursuant to Section 721 of the Code but will be characterized as a disguised sale transaction described in section 707(a)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to any amounts treated as a transfer of consideration pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-3(a)(1) (such treatment, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Unless required to do so as a result of a “determination” as defined in Section 1313 of the Code, each of Parent and Company agrees not to make any tax filings or otherwise take any position inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and to cooperate with the other party to make any filings, statements, or reports required to effect, disclose or report the Intended Tax Treatment.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to, upon reasonable request, (i) furnish the report of the Company’s auditor on the three most recently available audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of such auditor to the use of such reports, including in documents filed with the SEC under the Securities Act, in accordance with normal custom and practice and use reasonable best efforts to cause such auditor to provide customary comfort letters to the arrangers, underwriters, initial purchasers or placement agents, as applicable, in connection with any such financing; (ii) furnish any additional financial statements, schedules, business or other financial data relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably necessary to consummate any such financing; it being understood that Parent shall be responsible for the preparation of any pro forma financial information or pro forma financial statements required pursuant to the Securities Act or as may be customary in connection with any such financing; (iii) provide direct contact between (x) senior management and advisors, including auditors, of the Company and (y) the proposed arrangers, lenders, underwriters, initial purchasers or placement agents, as applicable, and/or Parent’s auditors, as applicable, in connection with any

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.16 to the contrary, in fulfilling its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.16, (i) none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Representatives shall be required to (x) pay any commitment or other fee, provide any security or incur any other liability in connection with any financing prior to the Effective Time, (y) enter into any definitive agreement the effectiveness of which is not conditioned upon the Closing; or (z) give any indemnities that are effective prior to the Effective Time, (ii) any requested cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (iii) Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries from and against any and all losses or damages actually suffered or incurred by them directly in connection with the arrangement of any such financing (other than to the extent related to information provided by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives). In addition, no action, liability or obligation of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument relating to any financing will be effective until the Effective Time, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to take any action pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument that is not contingent on the occurrence of the Closing or that must be effective prior to the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 5.16 will require the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives to execute, deliver or enter into, or perform any agreement, document or instrument, including any definitive financing document, with respect to any financing or adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and/or instruments pursuant to which any financing is obtained or pledge any collateral with respect to any financing prior to the Closing. Nothing in this Section 5.16 shall require (A) any officer or Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to deliver any certificate or take any other action under this

- 65 -

Section 5.16 that could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to such officer or Representative; or (B) the Board of Directors of the Company to approve any financing or contracts related thereto prior to the Effective Time (it being understood and agreed that all such certificates, opinions or resolutions shall be delivered by any officer or board members of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time). The Company and its Subsidiaries and Representatives shall not be required to deliver any legal opinions or solvency certificates.

(c) At the request of Parent, the Company shall deliver to Parent at least two business days prior to the Closing Date payoff letters from any third-party lenders (or agents therefor), trustees, or other holders of indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries (or representatives therefor), as applicable, in the customary forms of such lenders, trustees or other holder of indebtedness or otherwise in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, with respect to the indebtedness or obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries set forth in Section 5.16(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. At the sole cost and expense of Parent, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent in replacing any letters of credit issued pursuant to the facilities evidencing the above referenced indebtedness or obligations.

(d) The Company shall, at the request of Parent, (i) call for prepayment or redemption, or prepay or redeem, (ii) attempt to renegotiate the terms of, (iii) commence an offer to purchase and/or consent solicitation or (iv) satisfy and discharge or defease any then-existing indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to make or cause to become effective any such action (nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to incur any cost or liability in respect thereof) prior to the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, any redemption, prepayment or other payment made to satisfy and discharge or defease such portion of the Company Indebtedness prior to or at the Closing shall be the obligation of Parent. Parent shall prepare all necessary and appropriate documentation in connection with any action described above, and provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such documents. Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with each other in the preparation of such documents.

Section 6.10 Remedies.

It is hereby agreed that, prior to the valid termination

- 10 -

of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1, the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach, to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and to specifically enforce compliance with this Agreement. In connection with any request for specific performance or equitable relief, each of the parties hereto hereby waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to such party. The parties further agree that, by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 6.10, no party hereto shall in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement, including monetary damages in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 6.10 are not available or otherwise are not granted.

Section 6.11 Severability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is illegal, void, invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any illegal, void, invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is legal, valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the illegal, void, invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto shall replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the original economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 6.12 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Merger Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the actions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

Section 6.13 Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer, 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; provided, however, that Parent and Merger Sub may transfer or assign their rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part or from time to time in part, to one or more of their Affiliates to which their rights are assigned pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement at any time. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto) any rights or remedies hereunder.
