Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The Merger Agreement
On April 21, 2026, LivePerson, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LivePerson”), entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among LivePerson, SoundHound AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SoundHound”) and Lightspeed Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SoundHound (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into LivePerson (the “Merger”), with LivePerson surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SoundHound. All capitalized terms used in this summary of the Merger Agreement that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the date and time the Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of LivePerson (“LivePerson Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than certain excluded shares) will be automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Class A common stock of SoundHound, par value $0.0001 per share (“SoundHound Common Stock”) equal to (a) the Closing Merger Consideration (as defined below), divided by (b) the total number of shares of LivePerson Common Stock that are issued and outstanding, or that are issuable upon the conversion, exercise or settlement in full of any rights to acquire LivePerson Common Stock, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (such number of shares, the “Fully Diluted Common Number”, and the result of the calculation set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). It is intended that the Merger be treated as a transaction in which gain or loss is recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The aggregate amount of consideration payable by SoundHound to holders of LivePerson Common Stock in connection with the Merger pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement will be a number of shares of SoundHound Common Stock equal to the quotient of (a) the Aggregate Consideration Amount (as defined below), divided by (b) the SoundHound Closing Stock Price (the “Closing Merger Consideration”).
The “Aggregate Consideration Amount” refers to an amount equal to (a) $42,784,532.64, minus (b) the LivePerson Shortfall Cash (as defined below), plus (c) the aggregate dollar amount of the exercise prices of all In-the-Money Options (as defined below) (other than options assumed by SoundHound and converted into an option to acquire shares of SoundHound Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement). “LivePerson Shortfall Cash” refers to an amount equal to (x) $74,000,000 (or, solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement, $71,000,000 if the Closing occurs in July), minus (y) the aggregate principal amount of LivePerson’s 0% convertible notes due 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes”) repurchased by LivePerson between April 1, 2026 and the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) (the figure resulting from clause (x) minus clause (y), the “LivePerson Minimum Cash”), minus (z) the cash and cash equivalents on LivePerson’s balance sheet as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on the date on which the Closing occurs (the “Closing Date”) (net of certain LivePerson transaction expenses as of the Closing) (the foregoing clause (z), the “LivePerson Cash Balance”); provided that, if a negative number results from such calculation, “LivePerson Shortfall Cash” will be $0. The “SoundHound Closing Stock Price” refers to the price per share of SoundHound Common Stock derived from the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of a share of SoundHound Common Stock on the Nasdaq on each of the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day that is three (3) trading days prior to the Closing Date, rounded down to the nearest penny, as reported by Bloomberg; provided that, in the event such price per share (I) exceeds $12 per share, “SoundHound Closing Stock Price” will be $12 per share or (II) falls below $7 per share, “SoundHound Closing Stock Price” will be $7 per share.
The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, (i) each option to purchase shares of LivePerson Common Stock (a “LivePerson Option”) with a per-share exercise price less than the product of the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the SoundHound Closing Stock Price (each, an “In-the-Money Option”) and held by any individual who is not an “employee” of SoundHound within the meaning of Form S-8 as of immediately after the Effective Time will be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration applicable to the number of shares covered by such LivePerson Option, net of the applicable exercise price and less applicable tax withholdings; (ii) each LivePerson Option that is not an In-the-Money Option will be cancelled for no consideration; (iii) restricted stock units with respect to shares of LivePerson Common Stock (the “LivePerson RSUs”) held by non-employee directors of LivePerson and each LivePerson RSU that has vested but not yet settled will be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of each LivePerson RSU, less applicable tax withholdings; (iv) all other In-the-Money Options and LivePerson RSUs will be assumed by SoundHound and converted into corresponding awards denominated in shares of SoundHound Common Stock in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement and (v) all warrants to purchase shares of LivePerson Common Stock will be cancelled for no consideration. The Merger Agreement also provides that in the event the treatment, as set forth in (i)–(iv) above, of any LivePerson Options or LivePerson RSUs held by persons outside of the United States would be administratively burdensome to SoundHound, SoundHound may either cash out such equity awards or convert them into cash-based awards that continue to vest on the same schedule.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others (a) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of LivePerson; (b) the absence of any law, order or other legal impediment prohibiting the consummation of the Merger; (c) the receipt of approvals under certain applicable foreign direct investment laws; (d) the approval for listing the shares of SoundHound Common Stock issuable to the stockholders of LivePerson pursuant to the Merger Agreement on the Nasdaq; (e) the effectiveness of SoundHound’s registration statement on Form S-4; (f) the accuracy of the parties’ respective representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement, subject to specified materiality qualifications; (g) the performance or compliance by SoundHound and LivePerson with the covenants in the Merger Agreement in all material respects; (h) the absence of a material adverse effect on LivePerson (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and (i) the consummation of the Notes Restructuring Transactions (as defined below).
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of SoundHound, Merger Sub and LivePerson, including, among others, covenants by LivePerson regarding the conduct of its business during the pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, public disclosures and other matters. LivePerson is required, among other things, not to solicit alternative business combination transactions and, subject to certain exceptions, not to engage in discussions or negotiations regarding an alternative business combination transaction.
Both SoundHound and LivePerson may terminate the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including (a) if the Merger is not completed by October 21, 2026 (which date may be extended to December 5, 2026 if certain regulatory approvals have not been obtained); (b) if LivePerson fails to obtain stockholder approval; (c) if the board of directors of LivePerson (the “LivePerson Board”) makes an adverse recommendation change with respect to the Merger or commits a material breach of its non-solicitation obligations; (d) if the LivePerson Board terminates to accept a superior acquisition proposal; or (e) if the Notes Restructuring Transactions are terminated for any reason. The Merger Agreement further provides that LivePerson is required to pay SoundHound a termination fee of $5,000,000, plus SoundHound’s transaction expenses, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances, including if the LivePerson Board changes or withdraws its recommendation of the Merger, terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into an agreement with respect to a superior acquisition proposal or if the Notes Restructuring Transactions terminate for any reason or otherwise fail to consummate by the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), except where such termination or failure to consummate primarily resulted from SoundHound’s material breach of the Notes Restructuring Agreement; provided that where a termination fee is payable in connection with the failure to consummate, or termination of, the Note Restructuring Transactions, the obligation to reimburse SoundHound’s transaction expenses will be capped at $3,750,000.
The Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger (collectively, the “Transactions”) have been unanimously approved by the LivePerson Board, and the LivePerson Board has resolved to recommend to the stockholders of LivePerson to adopt the Merger Agreement, subject to its terms and conditions.
The Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about SoundHound, Merger Sub or LivePerson. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement are qualified by information in a confidential disclosure letter provided by LivePerson to SoundHound in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement and in filings of the parties with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The confidential disclosure letter contains information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties and certain covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement. Moreover, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were used for the purposes of allocating risk between SoundHound and LivePerson rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement should not be relied on as characterization of the actual state of facts about SoundHound, Merger Sub or LivePerson.
The Notes Restructuring Agreement
On April 21, 2026, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, SoundHound entered into a Notes Restructuring Agreement (the “Notes Restructuring Agreement”) with LivePerson and each of the holders of LivePerson’s First Lien Convertible Secured Notes due 2029 (the “First Lien Secured Notes”) and LivePerson’s Second Lien Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Second Lien Secured Notes” and, together with the First Lien Secured Notes, the “Secured Notes”), pursuant to which and on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, among other things, the holders of the Secured Notes have agreed to release and deem satisfied the Secured Notes for the consideration contemplated thereby (the transactions contemplated by the Notes Restructuring Agreement, “Notes Restructuring Transactions”).
Upon consummation of the Notes Restructuring Transactions, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Notes Restructuring Agreement, each holder of First Lien Secured Notes has agreed to accept, in full and complete satisfaction of all obligations of LivePerson to such holder, (a) a number of shares of SoundHound Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) $178,007,733.68 (the “First Lien Holder Aggregate Consideration Amount”), divided by (ii) the SoundHound Closing Stock Price and (b) an amount in cash paid by LivePerson concurrently with Closing in the amount of (i) accrued and unpaid interest on the First Lien Secured Notes held by such holder, plus (ii) 65% of any LivePerson Excess Cash.
Upon consummation of the Notes Restructuring Transactions, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Notes Restructuring Agreement, each holder of Second Lien Secured Notes has agreed to accept, in full and complete satisfaction of all obligations of LivePerson to such holder, such holder’s pro rata portion of (a) a number of shares of SoundHound Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) $83,207,733.68 (the “Second Lien Holder Aggregate Consideration Amount”), divided by (ii) the SoundHound Closing Stock Price and (b) an amount in cash equal to (i) the principal amount of any 2026 Convertible Notes repurchased and retired by LivePerson between April 1, 2026 and the Closing, minus (ii) the amount of cash paid to repurchase such 2026 Convertible Notes, plus (iii) 35% of LivePerson Excess Cash.
“LivePerson Excess Cash” refers to the difference of (a) the LivePerson Cash Balance, minus (b) the LivePerson Minimum Cash; provided that, if a negative number results from such calculation, “LivePerson Excess Cash” shall be $0.
The shares of SoundHound Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Notes Restructuring Transactions are expected to be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Notes Restructuring Agreement provides SoundHound the option to elect, at any time before the close of business two business days prior to the Closing Date, to substitute an amount of cash in lieu of all or a portion of the stock consideration paid to the holders of Secured Notes, provided that (a) each holder of Secured Notes receives the same proportion of its consideration in cash and shares of SoundHound Common Stock; (b) regardless of the SoundHound Closing Stock Price, the proportion of consideration satisfied in cash shall be calculated assuming the stock consideration is worth the First Lien Holder Aggregate Consideration Amount and the Second Lien Holder Aggregate Consideration Amount, respectively and (c) in the event SoundHound Closing Stock Price is greater than $12 per share, SoundHound shall not be entitled to substitute cash for more than 50% of the stock consideration.
Under the terms of the Notes Restructuring Agreement, completion of the Notes Restructuring Transactions is subject to customary closing conditions, including (a) the absence of any order or other legal impediment prohibiting the consummation of the Notes Restructuring Transactions; (b) the closing conditions under the Merger Agreement being satisfied or waived (other than the consummation of the Notes Restructuring Transactions); (c) the requisite securities law filings having been made; (d) the approval for listing the shares of SoundHound Common Stock issuable to the holder of the Secured Notes pursuant to the Notes Restructuring Agreement on the Nasdaq; (e) the accuracy of the parties’ respective representations and warranties in the Notes Restructuring Agreement, subject to specified materiality qualifications; (f) the performance or compliance by SoundHound, LivePerson and the holders of Secured Notes with the covenants in the Notes Restructuring Agreement in all material respects; (g) the delivery of all required payments under the Notes Restructuring Agreement; (h) the entry into a registration rights agreement in respect of the shares of SoundHound Common Stock issuable to the holders of the Secured Notes; and (i) the substantially contemporaneous consummation of the Notes Restructuring Transactions by the holders of the First Lien Secured Notes and the holders of the Second Lien Secured Notes.
The Notes Restructuring Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of the parties, including, among others, that the shares of SoundHound Common Stock issued in connection with the Notes Restructuring Transactions will be eligible for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by SoundHound with the SEC. The holders of Secured Notes are required, among other things, not to solicit alternative business combination or note restructuring transactions and not to engage in discussions or negotiations regarding an alternative business combination or note restructuring transaction.
The Notes Restructuring Agreement automatically terminates upon any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. Additionally, each of the parties may terminate the Notes Restructuring Agreement under specified circumstances, including if the Notes Restructuring Transactions are not completed on or prior to the fifth business day following the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The holders of the First Lien Secured Notes are entitled to terminate the Notes Restructuring Agreement upon (a) any failure by LivePerson to pay amounts due under the indenture or other agreements governing the First Lien Secured Notes or (b) a breach of certain provisions of the indenture governing the First Lien Secured Notes, in each case, subject to cure rights of LivePerson and SoundHound.
The Notes Restructuring Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Notes Restructuring Agreement.
Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On April 21, 2026, prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the LivePerson Board adopted an amendment to LivePerson’s Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws Amendment”). The By-Laws Amendment adds a new Article X, which provides that, unless LivePerson otherwise consents to an alternative forum in writing, (i) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is designated as the sole and exclusive forum for certain specified legal actions involving LivePerson and (ii) the federal district courts of the United States of America, to the fullest extent permitted by law, are designated as the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The foregoing description of the By-Laws Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the By-Laws Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 21, 2026, LivePerson and SoundHound issued a joint press release announcing execution of the Merger Agreement and the Notes Restructuring Agreement. 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.

Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and stockholders and other potential investors must recognize that actual results may differ materially from expectations as a result of a variety of factors, including, without limitation, those discussed below. Such forward-looking statements are based upon management’s current expectations and include known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which SoundHound and LivePerson are unable to predict or control, that may cause actual results, performance or plans to differ materially from any future results, performance or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (a) the risk that the transactions described herein will not be completed or will not provide the expected benefits; (b) the failure to timely or at all obtain LivePerson stockholder approval for the Merger; (c) the inability to obtain required regulatory approvals for the Merger; (d) the timing of obtaining such approvals and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transactions; (e) the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed transactions may not be satisfied on a timely basis or at all; (f) the possible occurrence of an event, change or other circumstance that would give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (g) the risk of stockholder litigation in connection with the Merger, including resulting expense or delay in closing of the proposed transactions; (h) the failure of the proposed transactions to close for any other reason; (i) the diversion of the attention of SoundHound and LivePerson management from ongoing business operations; (j) unexpected costs, liabilities, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transactions; (k) the risk that the integration of SoundHound and LivePerson will be more difficult, time-consuming or expensive than anticipated; (l) the risk of customer loss or other business disruption in connection with the proposed transactions, or of the loss of key employees; (m) the fact that unforeseen liabilities of SoundHound or LivePerson may exist; (n) changes in applicable laws or regulations and extensive and evolving government regulations that impact SoundHound’s or LivePerson’s operations and business; (o) investigations, claims, disputes, enforcement actions, litigation and/or other regulatory or legal proceedings, including with respect to AI technology; (p) risks that SoundHound may not be able to manage strains associated with its growth; (q) dependence on key personnel; (r) stock price volatility; (s) SoundHound’s and LivePerson’s ability to protect their intellectual property and litigation risks; (t) the risk that LivePerson’s usage patterns, customer renewals, customer outcomes and similar metrics differ from expectations; (u) the risk of cybersecurity incidents or breaches impacting LivePerson’s business; (v) the risks related to the use and regulation of artificial intelligence and machine learning; (w) general economic, financial, legal, political and business conditions; and (x) other risks inherent in SoundHound’s and LivePerson’s businesses.
All such factors are difficult to predict, are beyond SoundHound’s and LivePerson’s control, and are subject to additional risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in SoundHound’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and those detailed in LivePerson’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. These risks, as well as other risks related to the proposed transaction, will be included in the Form S-4 and proxy statement/prospectus (each as defined below) that SoundHound and LivePerson intend to file with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management at the time the statements are made. Neither SoundHound nor LivePerson undertakes any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication is not intended to be, and shall not constitute, an offer to sell, buy or exchange or the solicitation of an offer to sell, buy or exchange any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.

The definitive proxy statement/prospectus (if and when available) will be filed with the SEC by, and mailed to shareholders of, LivePerson. Each of SoundHound and LivePerson may also file other relevant documents with the SEC regarding the proposed transaction.

Section 4.03 Representations and Warranties of the Holders. Each Holder,
severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to and covenants and agrees with the Issuer and the Acquiror as follows:

Organization and Good Standing. It is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of organization.
(b)
Authorization; Enforceability. Such Holder has full power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform
its obligations under this Agreement. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by such Holder have been duly authorized by all necessary action. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Holder,
enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general
principles of equity.
(c)
Ownership of Secured Notes. Such Holder is the direct legal or beneficial owner of the Secured Notes or
is the nominee, investment manager, or advisor for beneficial holders of the Secured Notes, as set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A, free and clear of all Liens, other than customary Liens attributable to securities or notes held
by a bank, prime-broker, or broker-dealer on behalf of a Holder. Except as otherwise permitted hereunder, such Holder has not assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of any interest in such Secured Notes, other than
customary Liens attributable to securities or
12
notes held by a bank, prime-broker, or broker-dealer on behalf of a Holder. As of the date of this Agreement, other than customary Liens attributable to securities or notes held by a bank,
prime-broker, or broker-dealer on behalf of a Holder, such Holder has not, in whole or in part, (i) assigned, transferred, hypothecated, pledged or otherwise disposed of all or any portion of its Secured Notes or its rights in or to all or any
portion of its Secured Notes, or (ii) given any person or entity any transfer order, power of attorney or other authority of any nature whatsoever with respect to all or any portion of its Secured Notes which would limit such Holder’s
power to surrender its Secured Notes hereunder in exchange for Holder’s respective portion of the Consideration. Such Holder covenants that it shall not take any of the actions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Such
Holder has the full power and authority to surrender its Secured Notes as provided in this Agreement and its Secured Notes are not subject to any agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect thereto, other than customary Liens attributable to
securities or notes held by a bank, prime-broker, or broker-dealer on behalf of a Holder. No additional consideration for any purpose shall be due to such Holder at the Closing with respect to its Secured Notes, other than the payment to such Holder
of its respective portion of the Consideration as provided herein. As of the date of this Agreement, no event of default under the terms of such Holder’s Secured Notes has been declared by such Holder under its Secured Note and, to the
knowledge of such Holder, no event of default under the terms of such Holder’s Secured Notes exists or is continuing with respect to its Secured Notes.
(d)
Accredited Investor Status. Such Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule
501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
(e)
Short Position. As of the date hereof, (i) such Holder does not own, beneficially or of record,
greater than 3% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Issuer (“Issuer Securities”) and (ii) neither such Holder nor any Affiliate thereof that is managed or advised by
the same investment advisor or manager and that does not operate independently of such Holder pursuant to customary “information barriers” (such Affiliate, a “Related Fund”) owns, beneficially or of record,
greater than 3% of the issued and outstanding Acquiror Securities.
(f)
Investment Intent. Such Holder is acquiring the Holder Shares for its own account for investment
purposes only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Such Holder understands that the Holder Shares have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, and that the Holder Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or
unless an exemption from such registration is available.
(g)
Information; Sophistication; Independent Investigation. Such Holder has had access to such information
relating to the business, finances, and operations of the Acquiror and the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby (including but not limited to the offer and sale of the Holder Shares) as it deems necessary to make an informed
decision. Such Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Acquiror regarding such transactions to the extent such Holder deems necessary to make
13
an informed decision. Such Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. Such Holder has made an independent decision to sell its Secured Notes based on all information available to it, which such Holder acknowledges and agrees is adequate to allow it to make such decision. In making the decision to sell
its Secured Notes pursuant to this Agreement, such Holder has relied solely upon such Holder’s own independent investigation and diligence and has not relied on any statements, representations or warranties, investigation (including with
respect to the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of the Issuer’s and the Acquiror’s public disclosure) or other information provided by or on behalf of (i) any former, current or future, direct or indirect, director, manager,
officer, employee, consultant, general or limited partner, member, stockholder, security holder, Affiliates, controlling person, successor, assignee, predecessor, financing source, attorney, advisor, agent or representative (or any of their
respective successors or assigns), of the Acquiror, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) any former, current or future, direct or indirect, holder of any equity interests or securities of the Acquiror, Merger Sub or any of
their respective Affiliates (or any of their respective successors or assigns), or (iii) any former, current or future, direct or indirect, director, manager, officer, employee, consultant, general or limited partner, member, stockholder,
security holder, Affiliates, controlling person, successor, assignee, predecessor, financing source, attorney, advisor, agent or representative of any of the foregoing (or any of their respective successors or assigns) concerning the Issuer, the
Acquiror, Merger Sub, the transactions contemplated hereby or the risks associated therewith.
(h)
No General Solicitation. Such Holder is not obtaining the Holder Shares as a result of any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Acquiror Common Stock published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or
general advertisement.

Section 8.09 Restrictions on Transfers. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.09 or with the prior
written consent of the Acquiror, each Holder covenants and agrees that it shall not, between the date hereof and the earlier to occur of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.17, directly or indirectly

Agreement at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of the Transfer. Such transferee, upon consummation of a Transfer in accordance herewith shall be deemed to make all of the representations, warranties and covenants of a
Holder set forth in this Agreement, and shall be deemed to be a Party and a Holder for all purposes under this Agreement upon compliance with the foregoing. Any Transfer made in violation of this Section 8.09 shall be void ab initio.

forward contracts and other similar arrangements that create or are intended to create economic exposure with respect to a number of Acquiror Securities (collectively, a “Short Position”) that exceed the aggregate amount of
Acquiror Securities held by such Holder together with its Related Funds (inclusive of any Acquiror Securities contemplated to be received by such Holder and its Related Funds as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby and the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and excluding any Short Position held by such Holder or Related Fund prior to the date hereof) or (b) otherwise take actions with the intent to depress, manipulate, or artificially influence the price of
the Acquiror Securities in order to obtain additional or increased consideration in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
19
Section 8.11 Relationship Among Parties. It is understood and agreed
that no Holder owes any fiduciary duty or duty of trust or confidence of any kind or form to any other Party. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Holder may trade in Secured Notes without the consent of the Issuer, the Acquiror or
any other Holder, subject to applicable securities laws, the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the applicable Note Documents. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Parties shall in any way affect or
negate this understanding and agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is entered into by the Holders solely in the capacity of creditors of the Issuer, and that the rights and obligations set forth herein relate exclusively
to the Secured Notes held by the Holders. The Parties have no agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities (including the Notes and the Holder
Shares) of the Issuer or the Acquiror and do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13d-5 promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding any other

the Exchange Act) of any equity securities of the Issuer or the Acquiror. All rights under this Agreement are separately granted to each Holder, and the use of a single document is for the convenience of the Issuer and the Acquiror. The decision to
commit to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been made independently.
Section 8.12 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein with respect to the Released Parties, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or
implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 8.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart by email (including in .pdf format) or other electronic means shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart.
Section 8.14 Construction. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, (a) all references to Articles, Sections, and Exhibits are to Articles, Sections, and Exhibits of this Agreement, (b) words in the singular
include the plural and vice versa, (c) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereto,” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, (d) the term “including”

connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided all fees and expenses of counsel to the Holders incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Issuer,
subject to the
20
terms of, and in accordance with, pre-existing fee reimbursement agreements (the “Holders Counsel Fees”) simultaneously with
Closing; provided further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.17, the Issuer’s reimbursement obligations under this
Section 8.15 shall survive with respect to any and all such fees and expenses earned or incurred on or before the date of termination, and such termination shall not automatically terminate any applicable fee or engagement
letters, if any, between the Issuer and the applicable party or professional.
Section 8.16 Specific Performance.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms, and that the Parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in
addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.
Section 8.17 Termination. Any Party may terminate this Agreement
if (a)(i) there has been a material breach by another Party of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, (ii) a non-breaching Party provides written notice to the other
Parties of such material breach and (iii) such material breach is not cured by the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the date of delivery of such written notice; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in no event shall a Holder be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) as a result of a material breach by another Holder or (b) the Closing has not taken place on or prior to the fifth Business
Day following Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided, that, except with respect to the automatic extension of the Initial Outside Date contemplated by Section 8.1(b) of the Merger Agreement, Issuer and Acquiror shall not be
permitted to extend the Outside Date without the prior written consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders and provided, further, that a termination of this Agreement by any Holder of Second Lien Secured Notes shall require notice of termination
from Holders of at least a majority of outstanding Second Lien Secured Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, without any further action by any Party hereto, upon the termination of the Merger Agreement
in accordance with its terms. Upon any termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, and no Party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that such termination
shall not relieve any Party of liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination. The holders of the First Lien Secured Notes may terminate this Agreement (x) upon any failure by the Issuer to pay principal,
interest or any other amount due and payable as and when required under the First Lien Notes Indenture or the other First Lien Notes Documents or (y) upon any breach of Section 4.24 (Minimum Qualified Cash) of the First Lien Secured Notes
Indenture, in each case, if such failure to pay or such breach has not been cured by Issuer or the Acquiror within fifteen (15) Business Days after the later of the Issuer’s and the Acquiror’s receipt of written notice thereof from
the holders of the First Lien Secured Notes; provided that, with the prior written consent of the holders of the First Lien Secured Notes (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in the event the Acquiror and/or the Issuer
is working in good faith to cure such failure to pay or breach by the end of such fifteen (15) Business Day period, such fifteen (15) Business Day period shall extend to twenty (20) Business Days. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Section 7.02, Section 8.01, Section 8.02, Section 8.03, Section 8.04, Section 8.05, Section 8.06, Section 8.07, Section 8.08, Section 8.11, Section 8.12, Section 8.13, Section 8.14 and
Section 8.15 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
