Item 1.01

Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

Business Combination Agreement

On May 16, 2022, Executive Network Partnering Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “ENPC”), Granite Ridge Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), ENPC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ENPC Merger Sub”), GREP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GREP Merger Sub” and, together with ENPC Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), and GREP Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GREP”), entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) pursuant to which ENPC and GREP shall enter into a business combination.

The terms of the Business Combination Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions and other terms relating to the Mergers (defined below) and the other Transactions (defined below) contemplated thereby, are summarized below. Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement.

Structure of the Transaction

The acquisition is structured as a “double dummy” transaction, resulting in the following:

•

Each of Parent, ENPC Merger Sub and GREP Merger Sub are newly formed entities that were formed for the sole purpose of entering into and consummating the transactions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Parent is a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of ENPC and both ENPC Merger Sub and GREP Merger Sub are wholly-owned direct subsidiaries of Parent.

•

On the Closing Date, each of the following transactions will occur in the following order: (a) ENPC Merger Sub will merge with and into ENPC (the “ENPC Merger”), with ENPC surviving the ENPC Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent; and (b) immediately following the ENPC Merger, GREP Merger Sub will merge with and into GREP (the “GREP Merger,” together with the ENPC Merger, the “Mergers”), with GREP surviving the GREP Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the transactions contemplated by the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) the “Business Combination,” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”).

Effect of the Business Combination on Existing ENPC Equity

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will result in, among other things, the following:

•

495,357 shares of ENPC Class F common stock shall be converted into 1,238,393 shares of ENPC Class A common stock (of which 371,518 shares of ENPC Class A common stock shall, upon conversion to Parent common stock, be subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in the Sponsor Agreement (as defined herein)), the remainder of ENPC Class F common stock outstanding will automatically be cancelled without any conversion, payment or distribution with respect thereto (the “ENPC Class F Conversion”);

•

all other shares of ENPC Class A common stock held by Sponsor and the directors of ENPC shall automatically be cancelled without any conversion, payment or distribution (the “Sponsor Share Cancellation”);

•

all shares of ENPC Class B common stock outstanding will be deemed transferred to ENPC and be surrendered and forfeited for no consideration (the “ENPC Class B Contribution”);

•

immediately prior to the ENPC Class F Conversion, Sponsor Share Cancellation and ENPC Class B Contribution, any and all ENPC CAPS^TM, which are composed of one share of ENPC Class A common stock and one-fourth of one ENPC warrant, shall be immediately and automatically detached and broken into their constituent parts, such that a holder of a CAPS^TM shall be deemed to hold one share of ENPC Class A common stock and one-fourth of one ENPC warrant and such underlying constituent securities shall be converted or cancelled (the “CAPS^TM Separation”);

•

following the ENPC Class F Conversion, Sponsor Share Cancellation, ENPC Class B Contribution and CAPS^TM Separation, each share of ENPC Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the ENPC Merger will be converted into a right to receive one share of Parent common stock;

•

immediately prior to the effective time of the ENPC Merger, all ENPC private placement warrants and ENPC working capital warrants will be deemed transferred to ENPC and will be surrendered and forfeited for no consideration; and

•

at the effective time of the ENPC Merger, each ENPC public warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the ENPC Merger, entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of ENPC Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (after giving effect to the Stock Split and subject to further adjustment), will be converted into the right to receive a warrant to purchase one share of Parent common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment) upon consummation of the Business Combination.

Consideration

The aggregate consideration to be paid in the Transactions to the direct or indirect owners of GREP will consist of 130.0 million shares of Parent’s common stock. The number of shares of the equity consideration was determined based on a $10.00 per share value for Parent’s common stock.

Redemption Offer

Pursuant to ENPC’s charter and in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, ENPC will be providing its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Transactions in ENPC’s Trust Account (which holds the proceeds of the ENPC’s initial public offering, less taxes payable).

Listing of New Parent Common Stock

Shares of Parent common stock and Parent warrants are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) upon the closing of the Business Combination under the symbols “GRNT” and “GRNT WS,” respectively.

Representations and Warranties and Covenants

Each of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement have made representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement that are customary for transactions of this nature.

Conditions to Each Party‘s Obligations

Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is subject to customary conditions of the respective parties, and conditions customary to special purpose acquisition companies, including the approval of ENPC’s stockholders.

In addition, consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is subject to other closing conditions, including, among others: (a) the expiration of the waiting period (or extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”), (b) the absence of any government orders, decrees, rulings, injunctions or other actions in effect that restrain, enjoin, or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the Transactions, and no law having been adopted that makes consummation of the Transactions illegal or otherwise prohibited, (c) the Business Combination Proposal having been approved by the

ENPC stockholders at the special meeting, (d) the closing of the Redemption Offer (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (e) the ENPC proxy statement/prospectus and Registration Statement shall have become effective, no stop order shall have been issued by the SEC and remain in effect and no proceeding seeking such a stop order shall have been threatened or initiated by the SEC and remain pending, (f) ENPC having net tangible assets (as defined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of at least $5,000,001, (g) the representations and warranties of (i) GREP, in the case of ENPC, Parent, ENPC Merger Sub and GREP Merger Sub, and (ii) ENPC, Parent, ENPC Merger Sub and GREP Merger Sub, in the case of GREP, being true and correct (subject to customary bring-down standards), (h) material compliance by (i) GREP, in the case of ENPC, Parent, ENPC Merger Sub and GREP Merger Sub, and (ii) ENPC, Parent, ENPC Merger Sub and GREP Merger Sub, in the case of GREP with their respective covenants under the Business Combination Agreement, (i) delivery by the other parties of all closing deliveries, documents and other items required to be delivered by such parties as required by the Business Combination Agreement, and (j) the occurrence of all of the pre-closing transactions under the Business Combination Agreement.

Additionally, GREP’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are also subject to the conditions that (a) the shares of Parent common stock and the Parent warrants are approved for listing on the NYSE, and (b) ENPC shall have transferred, or as of the closing shall transfer, to Parent certain cash or immediately available funds equal to the funds in the Trust Account (net of the ENPC Stockholder Redemption Amount (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and payment of any transaction expenses of ENPC), together with the net cash proceeds to ENPC resulting from any issuance of ENPC Class A common stock after the execution date and before the closing..

Termination

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned prior to the closing of the Transactions as follows:

•

By mutual written consent of ENPC and GREP;

•

By either ENPC or GREP if any governmental entity having jurisdiction over a party issues any order, decree, ruling or injunction or takes any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or injunction or other action shall have become final and nonappealable or if there shall be adopted any law that makes consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited; provided, however, that the right to terminate shall not be available to the terminating party if the failure to fulfill any material covenant or agreement under the Business Combination Agreement by ENPC, Parent, ENPC Merger Sub or GREP Merger Sub (in the case where ENPC is the terminating party) or GREP (in the case where GREP is the terminating party) has been the cause of or resulted in the circumstances described in the foregoing;

•

By either ENPC or GREP in the event that any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant would cause the failure of a condition relating to such matters, and such breach cannot be or has not been cured by the earlier of thirty (30) days after notice is given and December 18, 2022 (“Terminable Breach”); provided, however, that neither the party terminating nor its affiliates is also in Terminable Breach of the Business Combination Agreement;

•

By either ENPC or GREP if, after the final adjournment of the special meeting at which a vote of ENPC’s stockholders has been taken, the requisite approval of ENPC’s stockholders has not been obtained with respect to the Business Combination Proposal; and

•

By either ENPC or GREP, if the transactions have not been consummated on or before 5:00 p.m., Dallas time on December 18, 2022; provided, however, that the right to terminate will not be available to the terminating party if failure to fulfill any material covenant or agreement by ENPC, Parent, ENPC Merger Sub or GREP Merger Sub (in the case where ENPC is the terminating party) or GREP (in the case where GREP is the terminating party) has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the consummation of the transactions on or before such date.

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, subject to certain exceptions, the parties will have no liability or obligation under such agreement; provided, however, that no party will be relieved or released from any liabilities arising out of any Willful and Material Breach (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) of a covenant, agreement or obligation thereunder. Each party to the Business Combination Agreement will only bear its own termination expenses, except as otherwise provided by the Business Combination Agreement.

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

Certain Related Agreements

The Sponsor Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ENPC, Parent, the Sponsor, GREP and certain holders of ENPC Class F common stock (such holders, together with the Sponsor, the “Class F Holders”) entered into the Sponsor Agreement (the “Sponsor Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Class F Holders agreed to (a) vote their respective shares of ENPC Class F common stock, ENPC Class B common stock and ENPC Class A common stock and other voting securities in favor of approving the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions, (b) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in ENPC’s organizational documents or any other anti-dilution or similar protection to which they are entitled with respect to their shares of Class F common stock and (c) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to their shares of Class F common stock and other equity securities of ENPC prior to the closing.

Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement, 371,518 of the shares of Parent common stock issuable to the Class F Holders in connection with the Mergers (the “SPAC Vesting Shares”) will be unvested as of the closing and will vest (and shall not be subject to forfeiture) if on the 90th calendar day following the closing (such date, the “Adjustment Date”), the volume weighted average price of a share of Parent common stock for the trailing twenty trading days ending on the day prior to the Adjustment Date (“Adjustment VWAP”) is less than $10.00. In such case, all or a portion of the SPAC Vesting Shares shall vest such that the product of (i) the vested SPAC Vesting Shares plus all other shares of Parent common stock issued to the Class F Holders in the Mergers, multiplied by (ii) the Adjustment VWAP shall equal $8,668,750; provided that the Adjustment VWAP shall be no less than $7.00 for purposes of the foregoing calculation. Any SPAC Vesting Shares not vesting in accordance with the foregoing will be deemed to be transferred by the forfeiting holder to Parent for no consideration and shall be cancelled by Parent and cease to exist.

The obligations under the Sponsor Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (x) the closing of the Transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and (y) the date on which the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. The Sponsor Agreement also provides for the waiver of certain appraisal and dissenters’ rights.

This description of the Sponsor Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Voting Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Parent will enter into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement (the “RRA and Lock-Up Agreement”) with Parent, Sponsor, certain stockholders of ENPC and the Existing GREP Members with respect to the shares of Parent common stock that will be issued as consideration under the Business Combination Agreement. The RRA and Lock-Up Agreement includes, among other things, the following provisions:

•

Registration Rights. Parent will be required to file a resale shelf registration statement on behalf of the Parent security holders promptly after the closing of the Transactions. The RRA and Lock-Up Agreement will also provide certain demand rights and piggyback rights to the Parent security holders, subject to certain specified underwriter cutbacks and issuer blackout periods. Parent shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the resale shelf registration statement, any demand registration statement, any underwritten takedown, any block trade, any piggyback registration statement and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under the RRA and Lock-Up Agreement, whether or not the registration statement becomes effective.

•

Lock-Up. Existing GREP Members will not be able to transfer any shares of Parent common stock beneficially owned or otherwise held by them for a period that is the earlier of (a) 180 days from the date of closing; (b) the date on which the closing price of the Parent common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and similar transactions) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period or (c) the date on which Parent completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of Parent’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Parent common stock for cash, securities or other property.

•

Termination of Letter Agreement. In connection with the consummation of the Transactions, the letter agreement, dated September 15, 2020, by and among ENPC, Sponsor and the other parties thereto, will be terminated at closing and Sponsor and such parties will not be restricted from transferring any shares of Parent common stock beneficially owned or otherwise held by them.

This description of the RRA and Lock-Up Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the RRA and Lock-Up Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Management Services Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Parent will enter into a Management Services Agreement (the “MSA”) with Grey Rock Administration, LLC (“Manager”). Under the MSA, Manager will provide general management, administrative and operating services covering the oil and gas assets and other properties of Parent (the “Assets”) and the day-to-day business and affairs of Parent relating to the Assets. Parent shall pay Manager an annual services fee of $10 million and shall reimburse Manager for certain Parent group costs related to the operation of the Assets (including for third party costs allocated or attributable to the Assets). The initial term of the MSA expires on April 30, 2028; however, the MSA will automatically renew for additional consecutive one-year renewal terms until terminated in accordance with its terms. Upon any termination of the MSA, Manager shall continue to provide transition services for a period of up to 90 days.

If Parent terminates the MSA for convenience prior to the end of the initial term or any renewal term if less than 90 days’ notice is given by Parent, or upon a change of control of Parent (or a sale of all or substantially all the Assets of Parent), or if Manager terminates the MSA due to Parent’s uncured material breach of the MSA, then Parent will be required to pay a termination fee to Manager equal to the lesser of $10 million or 50% of the remaining unpaid annual service fee applicable to the remainder of the initial term or to any renewal term, as applicable. Parent will not be required to pay a termination fee if the MSA is terminated by notice (a) by Parent with at least 90 days’ notice prior to expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, or (b) by Parent (i) upon a change of control or bankruptcy of Manager, (ii) upon the occurrence of certain key person events, (iii) upon the occurrence of uncured circumstances of malfeasance by Manager or certain of its employees or (iv) upon Manager’s uncured material breach of the MSA.

Manager is obligated to provide the services in good faith, in a workmanlike, reasonable and prudent manner, with at least the same degree of care, judgment and skill as historically provided by Manager with respect to the Assets prior to the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, in accordance with customary oil and gas industry practices and standards and in material compliance with contractual requirements affecting the Assets and all applicable laws. Manager will also indemnify Parent for (x) Manager’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct and actual fraud and (y) any claims by Manager’s (and its affiliates’) employees or consultants relating to the terms and conditions of their employment or arrangement with Manager or such affiliate, except and excluding claims under agreements with Parent or its subsidiaries.

During the term of the MSA, each of Manager and Parent will be required to present to the other all opportunities sourced by it to acquire or invest in upstream oil, gas or other hydrocarbon assets located in North America. During the Term, each such opportunity will be offered 75% to Parent and 25% to Fund IV (as defined in the MSA) (or any additional oil and gas-focused funds or investment vehicles formed by affiliates of Manager admitted as a party to the MSA in accordance with its terms).

This description of the Management Services Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Management Services, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 16, 2022, ENPC issued a press release announcing the execution of the Business Combination Agreement. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

A copy of the investor presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein.

The foregoing (including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and will not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Additional Information

Parent intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), which will include a preliminary proxy statement of ENPC and a preliminary prospectus of Parent, in connection with the Transactions. After the Registration Statement is declared effective, ENPC will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents to its stockholders. ENPC’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus in connection with ENPC’s solicitation of proxies for its stockholders’ meeting to be held to approve the Transactions because the proxy statement/prospectus will contain important information about ENPC, Parent, GREP and the Transactions. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to stockholders of ENPC as of a record date to be established for voting on the Transactions. Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the documents filed by ENPC and Parent may be obtained free of charge from ENPC at https://www.enpc.co. Alternatively, these documents, when available, can be obtained free of charge by directing a request to: Executive Network Partnering Corporation, 137 Newbury Street, 7th Floor, Boston, MA, 02116.

Participants in the Solicitation

ENPC, Parent, GREP and their respective directors, executive officers and other members of their management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of ENPC stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction. Investors and securityholders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of ENPC’s directors and officers in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022 and is available free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to ENPC’s stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus for the proposed transaction when available.

Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements contained in this Current Report that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance, business strategies, expectations for our business, and the timing and ability for us to complete the Business Combination and any other statements of a future or forward-looking nature, constitute “forward-looking statements” for the purposes of federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements about the parties’ ability to close the Business Combination, the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, the financial conditions, results of operations, earnings outlook and prospects of ENPC, Parent and GREP and may include statements for the period following the consummation of the Business Combination.

In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this proxy statement/prospectus may include, for example, statements about the benefits of the Business Combination and the future financial performance of ENPC, Parent or GREP following the Business Combination.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us and/or Parent. We cannot assure you that future developments affecting us and/or Parent will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our, Parent’s and/or GREP’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: the timing to complete the Transactions; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us, Parent, GREP and others following announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and transactions contemplated therein; the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain our stockholders’ approval; our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following the Business Combination; Parent’s ability to obtain the listing of its common stock and warrants on NYSE following the Business Combination; the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of GREP as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; unexpected costs related to the proposed Business Combination; the management and board composition of Parent following the proposed Business Combination; limited liquidity and trading of Parent’s securities; the use of proceeds not held in the Trust Account or available from interest income on the Trust Account balance; geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that GREP, Parent or ENPC may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; operational risk; the possibility that the COVID-19 pandemic, or another major disease, disrupts GREP’s business; litigation and regulatory enforcement risks, including the diversion of management time and attention and the additional costs and demands on GREP’s resources; and the risks that the consummation of the Business Combination is substantially delayed or does not occur.

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. ENPC, Parent, and GREP do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Disclaimer

This communication is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or buy any securities or the solicitation of any vote in any jurisdiction pursuant to the proposed transactions or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer or securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law.

The Aggregate Transaction Consideration, dividends or other distributions with respect to Parentco Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.12(g) paid upon the surrender of and in exchange for shares of ENPC Common Stock or Company Interests in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such ENPC Common Stock or Company Interests and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the books and records of (i) the First Surviving Company of the shares of ENPC Common Stock that were outstanding prior to the First Merger Effective Time, or (ii) the Second Surviving Company of Company Interests that were outstanding prior to the Second Merger Effective Time. If, after the Second Merger Effective Time, Company Certificates or ENPC Certificates are presented to the either the First Surviving Company or the Second Surviving Company for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Aggregate Transaction Consideration issuable in respect of the shares of ENPC Common Stock or Company Interests, as applicable, previously represented by such ENPC Certificates or Company Certificates, as applicable, and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.12(g), without any interest thereon (as applicable).

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the former holders of ENPC Common Stock or Company Interests on the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parentco, upon demand, and any former stockholders of ENPC or holders of Interests in the Company who have not theretofore received the Aggregate Transaction Consideration, and any dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Company Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.12(g), in each case without interest thereon (as applicable), shall thereafter look only to Parentco for payment of their claim for such amounts.

(e) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, Parentco, the First Surviving Company or the Second Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder of Company Interests or ENPC Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) for any amount of Aggregate Transaction Consideration properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with this Section 2.12. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Interests or ENPC Common Stock as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parentco free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Company Certificate or ENPC Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact (a “Lost Certificate Affidavit”) by the Person claiming such Company Certificate or ENPC Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parentco, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parentco may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Certificate or ENPC Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate or ENPC Certificate the Aggregate Transaction Consideration issuable or payable, as applicable, in respect of the Company Interests or shares of ENPC Common Stock formerly represented by such Company Certificate or ENPC Certificate, respectively, and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.12(g), in each case, without any interest thereon (as applicable).

Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Company Certificates or ENPC Certificates, Parentco shall promptly deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Second Merger Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parentco Common Stock.

(h) Adjustments to Aggregate Transaction Consideration. The Aggregate Transaction Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to (i) Company Interests occurring on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Second Merger Effective Time to provide the holders of shares of Company Interests immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event, and (ii) ENPC Common Stock occurring on or after the Execution Date and prior to the First Merger Effective Time to provide the holders of shares of ENPC Common Stock immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; and in each case such items so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the relevant portion of the Aggregate Transaction Consideration.

(i) No Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parentco Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Mergers, and any time that shares of Parentco Common Stock are distributed to any Person pursuant to this Agreement, such amount of shares (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parentco Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such Person in connection with such distribution) shall be rounded-down to the nearest whole number.

2.13 Payment of Expenses.

(a) No sooner than five (5) or later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to ENPC a written report setting forth a list of all of the following fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company and its Affiliates in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this

(b) No sooner than five (5) or later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, ENPC shall provide to the Company a written report setting forth (i) a list of all fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by or on behalf of ENPC, Parentco or the Merger Subs for outside counsel, agents, advisors, consultants, experts, financial advisors and other service providers engaged by or on behalf of ENPC, Parentco or the Merger Subs in connection with the Transactions or otherwise in connection with ENPC’s operations, and (ii) a list of all Indebtedness, including the Sponsor Loans (in each case, together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof) (collectively, the “Outstanding ENPC Transaction Expenses”). Unless otherwise agreed by ENPC and the Company, the Outstanding ENPC Transaction Expenses directly related to legal fees, accounting fees and due diligence costs shall not exceed $15,400,000. On the Closing Date following the Closing, ENPC shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Outstanding ENPC Transaction Expenses.

2.14 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Second Merger Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the First Surviving Company and the Second Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of ENPC Merger Sub and Company Merger Sub, respectively, the then-current officers and directors of First Surviving Company, Second Surviving Company and Parentco are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

2.15 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the Parties that (i) the Mergers collectively qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code, (ii) the First Merger qualifies as a reorganization described in Section 368(a)(1) of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder and (iii) the ENPC Recapitalization qualifies as a “recapitalization” described in Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code.

2.16 Withholding of Tax. Parentco (or any other payor) shall be entitled (but not obligated except as required by applicable Law) to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to the holders of Company Interests or ENPC Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parentco shall determine in good faith are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. Prior to withholding, Parentco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to a holder of Company Interests or ENPC Common Stock that withholding is required with respect to such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice is required in respect of any compensatory amounts or amount required to be withheld as a result of a failure to provide the certificates described in Section 2.3(a)(ix) or Section 2.3(b)(iv). To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holders of Company Interests or ENPC Interests, as applicable.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as set forth in the disclosure schedules delivered by the Company on the Execution Date (the “Company Disclosure Schedules”), the section numbers of which are numbered to correspond to the section

numbers of this Agreement to which they refer, the Company hereby represents and warrants to ENPC, as of the Execution Date and as of the Closing (or, if a representation and warranty is specifically made as of another date, such other date), as follows:

3.1 Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries.

(a) Each of the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company following the Company Pre-Closing Transactions (each a “Company Subsidiary”) is a limited liability company, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. The Company and each Company Subsidiary (together, each a “Grey Rock Entity”) has the requisite limited liability company power and authority and all necessary governmental approvals to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to have such power, authority and governmental approvals has not had, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Grey Rock Entities, taken as a whole (a “Company Material Adverse Effect”). Each Grey Rock Entity is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the business it is conducting, or the operation, ownership or leasing of its properties, makes such qualification necessary, other than where the failure to be duly organized, validly existing, to so qualify, to be in good standing or to have such requisite power and authority has not had, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has heretofore made available to ENPC complete and correct copies of the Organizational Documents of each of the Grey Rock Entities and each of the Grey Rock Funds Governing Documents, each as in effect on the Execution Date. As of the Closing, the Organizational Documents of the Grey Rock Entities have not been amended in any respect from those made available to ENPC, except for any amendments expressly permitted by this Agreement and made in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions.

(b) Schedule 3.1(b) sets forth a true and complete list of all of the Company Subsidiaries, and with respect to each Company Subsidiary (a) its jurisdiction of organization, (b) its authorized membership interests or other equity interests (if applicable), and (c) the percentage of or number of issued and outstanding Interests and the record holders and beneficial owners thereof (as of both the Execution Date and immediately following the completion of the Company Pre-Closing Transactions). Other than the Company Subsidiaries following the Company Pre-Closing Transactions, the Company does not, and at the Closing will not, directly or indirectly own any Interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Interest in, any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture or business association or other entity.

3.2 Capital Structure.

(a) Prior to giving effect to the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, as of the Execution Date all of the issued and outstanding Interests of each Grey Rock Entity are set forth on Schedule 3.2(a), along with the beneficial and record owners of such equity interests as of both (i) the Execution Date and (ii) immediately following the completion of the Company Pre-Closing Transactions, but prior to giving effect to the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all of which such Interests are owned, and at the Closing will be owned, free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances). All of the outstanding Interests of the Grey Rock Entities (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and non-assessable (except to the extent non-assessability may be affected by Section 18-607 of the DLLCA); (ii) were issued in compliance in all material respects with applicable Law; and (iii) were not issued in breach or violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights.

(b) There are no options, warrants, calls, rights (including preemptive rights), commitments or agreements to which any Grey Rock Entity is a party or by which it is bound in any case obligating such Grey Rock Entity to issue, deliver, sell, purchase, redeem or acquire, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, purchased, redeemed or acquired, Interests in such Grey Rock Entity, or obligating such Grey Rock Entity to grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, commitment or agreement. There are not any voting or other

agreements to which a Grey Rock Entity is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any equity interests in any Grey Rock Entity. No Grey Rock Entity owns any Interest in any other Person or has any option, warrant, call, right, commitment or agreement to acquire any Interest in any other Person. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(b), no Interests in any Grey Rock Entity are issuable and no rights in connection with any Interests of the Grey Rock Entities will accelerate or otherwise become triggered (whether as to vesting, exercisability, convertibility or otherwise) as a result of the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.

(c) Except as disclosed in the Grey Rock Funds Financial Statements, as contemplated in the Company Pre-Closing Transactions and for the Permitted Distributions, since December 31, 2021, (i) none of the Grey Rock Entities (i) has declared or paid any distribution or dividend in respect of its equity interests or (ii) has repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired any equity interests of such Grey Rock Entity, and the board of managers of the Company have not authorized any of the foregoing.

6.4 Access to Information.

(a) ENPC shall afford to the Company and its Representatives, during the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the earlier of the Closing Date and the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Article VIII, reasonable access, at reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice, to the officers, key employees, agents, properties, offices and other facilities of the Parent Parties and to their books, records, contracts and documents and shall furnish reasonably promptly to the Company and its Representatives such information concerning their and their Subsidiaries’ respective business, properties, contracts, records and personnel as may be reasonably requested, from time to time, by or on behalf of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4, (A) no Party or its Subsidiaries shall be required to, or to cause any of its Subsidiaries to, grant access or furnish information to any other Party or any of their respective Representatives to the extent that such information is subject to an attorney/client or attorney work product privilege or that such access or the furnishing of such information is prohibited by applicable Law or an existing contract or agreement and (B) no Party or its Representatives shall have access to personnel records of another Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information, the disclosure of which, in such other Party’s good faith opinion, could subject such disclosing Party or any of its Subsidiaries to risk of liability.

(a) Each of the Parties shall: (i) cooperate with each other in timely making all filings required under this Agreement to complete the Transactions, (ii) cooperate with each other in timely making all other filings with, and timely seeking all other consents, permits, authorizations or approvals from, Governmental Entities as necessary or appropriate to consummate the Transactions, and (iii) supply to any Governmental Entity as promptly as practicable any additional information or documents that may be requested by such Governmental Entity. The Company shall notify ENPC if: (A) after the date of this Agreement, the Company obtains Knowledge that any investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to any Grey Rock Entity is commenced or threatened, other than those the outcome of which is not reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, or (B) a Grey Rock Entity receives any written communication after the Execution Date from a Governmental Entity that alleges that a Grey Rock Entity is not in compliance with, in all material respects, or is in default or violation, in any material respect, of, any applicable Law. The Parent Parties shall notify the Company if: (A) after the date of this Agreement, the Parent Parties obtain Knowledge that any investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to any Parent Party is commenced or threatened, other than those the outcome of which is not reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, an ENPC Material Adverse Effect, or (B) a Parent Party receives any written communication after the Execution Date from a Governmental Entity that alleges that a Parent Party is not in compliance with, in all material respects, or is in default or violation, in any material respect, of, any applicable Law. Nothing in this Section 6.5(a) shall require either Party to share information reflecting the value of the Transactions or subject to any applicable privilege unless the Parties have entered into a mutually agreeable joint defense agreement.

(b) If a filing is required by the HSR Act, the Parent Parties shall or shall cause their Ultimate Parent Entity to and the Company shall or shall cause its Ultimate Parent Entity to: (i) as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, file, or cause to be filed (and not withdraw), a Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) in connection with the Transactions; and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to (A) respond as promptly as practicable to all inquiries received from the FTC or the Antitrust Division for additional information or documentation, (B) cause the waiting period under the HSR Act to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date and (C) avoid each and every impediment under the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event not later than the End Date).

(c) No Party shall take any action that would hinder or delay the obtaining of clearance or the expiration of the required waiting period under the HSR Act.

6.6 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) Without limiting any other rights that any Indemnified Person may have pursuant to any employment agreement or indemnification agreement in effect on the Execution Date or otherwise, from the Closing and until the six year anniversary of the Closing, Parentco shall, and shall cause the Second Surviving Company and the Property Entities to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement or who becomes prior to the Closing, a manager or officer of any Grey Rock Entity or is or was serving at the request of a Grey Rock Entity as a manager, director or officer of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, Employee Benefit Plan, trust or other enterprise (the “Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, fines, penalties, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (with the approval of the indemnifying party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), of or incurred in connection with any threatened or actual Proceeding to which such Indemnified Person is a party or is otherwise involved (including as a witness) based, in whole or in part, on or arising, in whole or in part, out of the fact that such Person is or was a manager or officer of a Grey Rock

Entity or is or was serving at the request of a Grey Rock Entity as a director, manager or officer of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, Employee Benefit Plan, trust or other enterprise or by reason of anything done or not done by such Person in any such capacity, whether pertaining to any act or omission occurring or existing prior to, at or after the Closing and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing (“Indemnified Liabilities”), including all Indemnified Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to, this Agreement or the Transactions, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and Parentco shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Parentco to, pay expenses incurred in connection therewith in advance of the final disposition of any such Proceeding to each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any such Proceeding is brought or threatened to be brought against any Indemnified Persons (whether arising before or after the Closing), (i) the Indemnified Persons may retain any Parent Party’s regularly engaged legal counsel or other counsel satisfactory to them, and Parentco shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Parentco to, pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Persons as promptly as statements therefor accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation are received and (ii) Parentco shall, and shall cause the Second Surviving Company to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to assist in the defense of any such matter. Any Indemnified Person wishing to claim indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 6.6, upon learning of any such Proceeding, shall notify Parentco or the Second Surviving Company (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve Parentco from any obligations that it may have under this Section 6.6 except to the extent such failure materially prejudices Parentco’s position with respect to such claims). With respect to any determination of whether any Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification by Parentco, the Second Surviving Company or any Property Entity under this Section 6.6, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to require that such determination be made by special, independent legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and approved by Parentco (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and who has not otherwise performed material services for Parentco or the Indemnified Person within the last three (3) years.

(b) None of Parentco or any of its Subsidiaries (including the First Surviving Company and the Second Surviving Company) shall, or shall permit any of their respective Subsidiaries, to amend, repeal or otherwise modify any provision in the Organizational Documents of any Grey Rock Entity in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Person to indemnification, exculpation and advancement except to the extent required by applicable Law.

(c) Subject to the following sentence, Parentco shall, and shall cause the Second Surviving Company and the Property Entities to, indemnify any Indemnified Person against all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), such amounts to be payable in advance upon request as provided in Section 6.6(a), relating to the enforcement of such Indemnified Person’s rights under this Section 6.6 or under any Organizational Documents. Each Indemnified Person shall agree to refund all such amounts so paid by Parentco if it shall ultimately be determined by a final and non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder or thereunder.

(d) In the event that Parentco, the Second Surviving Company, any Property Entity 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 of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of such entity, as applicable, shall assume, or otherwise be bound by the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6. The provisions of this Section 6.6 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Parties and each Person entitled to indemnification or expense advancement pursuant to this Section 6.6, and such Person’s heirs and Representatives.

6.7 Agreement to Defend. In the event any Proceeding by any Governmental Entity or other Person is commenced that questions the validity or legality of the Transactions or seeks damages in connection therewith, the Parties agree to cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to defend against and respond thereto.

6.8 Confidentiality; Public Announcements.

(a) ENPC and the Company acknowledge that the information being provided to them in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to apply to all confidential information furnished hereunder or thereunder and any other activities contemplated hereby until terminated as set forth therein.

(b) The Parties shall issue a joint press release promptly following the execution of this Agreement, in form and substance mutually agreeable to the Parties. Following the Execution Date, a Party or its Representatives may issue a public announcement or other public disclosures required by applicable Law (including the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any offering or other documents prepared in connection with any financing by any Party) subject to such Party using reasonable best efforts to afford the other Parties an opportunity to first review the content of the proposed disclosure and provide reasonable comment regarding same. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict in any manner (a) any Party’s ability to communicate with its employees and financial and legal advisors in connection with the Transactions or the fact that the such Party has entered into this Agreement or (b) any Party’s ability to communicate with its equityholders and other investors (including future investors) the fact that such Party has entered into this Agreement. Except as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.8, the Parties will not, and will cause their respective Representatives not to, issue any other public announcements or make other public disclosures regarding this Agreement (including with respect to the execution of this Agreement) or the transactions contemplated hereby, without the prior written approval of the Company, in the case of a public announcement by ENPC or any other Parent Party, or ENPC, in the case of a public announcement by the Company.

6.9 Advice of Certain Matters; Control of Business. Subject to compliance with applicable Law, ENPC, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall confer on a regular basis with each other, report on operational matters and shall promptly advise each other orally and in writing of any change or event having, a Company Material Adverse Effect, an ENPC Material Adverse Effect or Material Adverse Effect on any other Party, any Parent Party or any Property Entity, as the case may be, but the failure to so promptly advise in accordance with the foregoing shall not affect the rights or remedies of any Party to this Agreement. Except with respect to the HSR Act as provided in Section 6.5, the Parent Parties, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall promptly provide each other (or their respective counsel) copies of all filings made by such Party or its Subsidiaries with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions; provided, however, that materials provided to the another Party or its outside counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of any Party and its Subsidiaries or as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns. Without limiting in any way any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall give any Party, directly or indirectly, the right to Control or direct the other Parties and their respective Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing, each of the Parties shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete Control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

6.10 Tax Matters.

(a) The Company shall be responsible for all Company Taxes, including any Taxes arising from the Company Pre-Closing Transactions, but specifically excluding any Taxes under Sections 6221 through 6224 of the Code. From the Execution Date until the Closing Date, the Company shall be responsible for preparing and filing, or causing to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of the Company or the Property Entities that are required to be filed after the Execution Date but on or prior to the Closing Date. All Tax Returns described in this Section 6.10(a) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by applicable Law or this Agreement). The Company shall pay, and cause the Property Entities to pay, any Taxes reflected on such Tax Returns (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes with respect to Flow-Through Tax Returns for Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date) described in this Section 6.10(a) and the Company shall be responsible for any failure to file such Tax Returns and to make such payments.

(b) Parentco or the Second Surviving Company shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company or the Property Entities (other than the Tax Returns set forth in Section 6.10(a)) which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any Tax Return required to be filed by the Company or the Property Entities after the Closing Date. All Tax Returns described in this Section 6.10(b) with respect to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by applicable Law or this Agreement). Parentco shall pay or cause the Second Surviving Company or the Property Entities to pay any Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes with respect to Flow-Through Tax Returns for Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date) described in this Section 6.10(b) and shall be responsible for any failure to file such Tax Returns and to make such payments.

(c) The Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are relevant to any such Tax Return or audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees or representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Grey Rock Entities shall make a “push-out” election under Section 6226(a) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state or local Law) with respect to any imputed underpayment with respect to any Tax period that does not begin on or after the Closing Date, and the Parties and their Affiliates shall take such actions as are necessary to effectuate such election.

(e) The Parties shall not cause ENPC to engage in any transaction or make any election that would result in a liquidation of ENPC for U.S. federal income tax purposes within two years after the Closing Date.

6.11 Transfer Taxes. The Parties do not expect any Transfer Taxes to arise by reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent that any Transfer Taxes are assessed, such Transfer Taxes will be borne by ParentCo other than Taxes as a result of issuing shares in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Company Certificates or ENPC Certificates. The Parties will cooperate in good faith in the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes and with respect to minimizing, to the extent permissible under Law, the amount of any Transfer Taxes.

6.12 Tax Reporting. The Parties intend, for U.S. federal income (and applicable state and local) tax purposes, that (a) the First Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code to the extent that the applicable requirements are otherwise satisfied, (b) the Mergers taken together qualify (in whole or in part) for nonrecognition of gain or loss pursuant to Sections 351 of the Code, and (c) the ENPC Recapitalization qualifies as a “recapitalization” described in Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. Unless required to do so as a result of a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code, each of the Parties agrees not to make any tax filing or otherwise take any position inconsistent with the Mergers, taken together, qualifying as an exchange of the interests in ENPC and the Company described in Section 351 of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”) and to cooperate with each other Party to make any filings, statements or reports required to effect, disclose or report the Mergers, taken together, as qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

6.13 The Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Special Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Execution Date, ENPC and the Company will prepare and ENPC and Parentco will file with the SEC a proxy statement and registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the Transactions and the Redemption Offer (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) in preliminary form. The ENPC Board Recommendation shall be included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall also include the registration of shares of

Parentco Common Stock and Parentco Warrants to be issuable as Aggregate Transaction Consideration and the registration of Parentco Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any such Parentco Warrants. ENPC shall provide copies of the proposed final form of Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the Company such that the Company and its Representatives are afforded a reasonable amount of time prior to the dissemination or filing thereof to review such materials and comment thereon prior to such dissemination or filing, and ENPC shall consider in good faith any comments of such Persons and shall make ENPC’s Representatives available to discuss such comments with such Persons. ENPC shall provide the Company with copies of any written comments and inform the Company of the material terms of any oral comments that ENPC or Parentco receives from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus promptly after the receipt of such comments and ENPC and the Company shall prepare any proposed written or material oral responses to such comments and ENPC shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to review and comment on any final form of proposed written or material oral responses to such comments and ENPC shall reasonably consider such comments in good faith. ENPC will cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be transmitted to the holders of ENPC Common Stock and ENPC CAPS^™ as promptly as practicable following the date on which the SEC confirms it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

(b) ENPC will take, in accordance with applicable Law, NYSE rules, the rules of any other applicable stock exchange and the Organizational Documents of ENPC, all action necessary to call, hold and convene a special meeting of holders of ENPC Common Stock (including any adjournment or postponement, the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote upon (i) the Business Combination Proposal, (ii) proposals relating to differences between the First Amended Charter and the certificate of incorporation of ENPC as in effect on the date of the Special Meeting (if required to be approved by ENPC’s stockholders), (iii) a proposal to approve and adopt the LTIP, (iv) such other proposals as reasonably agreed by ENPC and the Company to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Transactions, and (v) adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt any of the foregoing ((i) through (v), collectively, the “Transaction Proposals”) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in definitive form with the SEC. Subject to any adjournment in accordance with this Section 6.13, ENPC will convene and hold the Special Meeting not later than 30 days following the mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the holders of ENPC Common Stock. Once the Special Meeting to consider and vote upon the Transaction Proposals has been called and noticed, ENPC will not postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting without the consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, other than (i) for the absence of a quorum, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that ENPC has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the holders of ENPC Common Stock prior to the Special Meeting or (iii) an adjournment or postponement of up to 10 Business Days to solicit additional proxies from holders of ENPC Common Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the ENPC Board may make a Change in Recommendation if it determines in good faith that a failure to make such Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law and (y) nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the ENPC Board from approving the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. For the avoidance of doubt, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, any Change in Recommendation will not (I) change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the ENPC Board or (II) relieve ENPC of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including its obligation to hold the Special Meeting.

The headings, if any, of the individual sections of each of the Company Disclosure Schedules and the ENPC Disclosure Schedules are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part thereof or a part of this Agreement.

9.11 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each Party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages) to seek and obtain (on behalf of itself and the third Party beneficiaries of this Agreement) (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each Party further agrees that no other Party to this Agreement or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 9.11, and each Party to this Agreement irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

(b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Parties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. No agreement on the part of a Party to this Agreement to any such extension or waiver shall be effective or enforceable unless set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party.

9.14 Trust Account Waiver. The Company acknowledges that ENPC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Partnering Transaction (as defined in ENPC’s Organizational Documents). The Company further acknowledges that substantially all of ENPC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of ENPC’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of ENPC, certain of its public stockholders and the underwriters of ENPC’s initial public offering. For and in consideration of the Parent Parties entering into this Agreement, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, contracts or agreements with any Parent Party; provided that (a) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against any Parent Party pursuant to this Agreement for legal relief against monies or other assets of any Parent Party held outside the Trust Account or, subject to Section 9.11, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or for fraud and (b) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future pursuant to this Agreement against the assets or funds of any Party to this Agreement or any of their respective Subsidiaries that are, in each case, not held in the Trust Account.

SPONSOR AGREEMENT

This SPONSOR AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 16, 2022, is made by and among ENPC Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), the other holders of ENPC Class F Common Stock set forth under the heading “Other Class F Holders” on the signature pages to this Agreement (the “Other Class F Holders,” and together with Sponsor, collectively, the “Class F Holders”), Executive Network Partnering Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ENPC”), Granite Ridge Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parentco”) and GREP Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”). Sponsor, the Other Class F Holders, ENPC, Parentco and the Company shall be referred to in this Agreement from time to time collectively as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, ENPC, Parentco, GREP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parentco, ENPC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parentco, and the Company entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Business Combination Agreement contemplates that the Parties will enter into this Agreement concurrently with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement by the parties thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, (1) the Class F Holders will agree to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions (including the Mergers), (2) the Class F Holders will agree to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the ENPC Organizational Documents or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to such Class F Holder’s shares of ENPC Class F Common Stock, (3) the Class F Holders agree to subject the Additional Shares (as defined in this Agreement) received as a result of the Mergers to the vesting provisions set forth in Section 3 below and (4) the Class F Holders will agree to vote by written consent their Class F Common Stock, voting as a single class, and their Class B Common Stock, voting as a single class, in favor of approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions; and

WHEREAS, as an inducement to ENPC, Parentco and the Company to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, the Parties desire to agree to certain matters as set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Binding Effect of the Business Combination Agreement. Each Class F Holder hereby acknowledges that it has read the Business Combination Agreement and this Agreement and has had the opportunity to consult with its tax and legal advisors. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier to occur of (a) the First Merger Effective Time, and (b) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 8.1 thereof (the “Expiration Time”), each Class F Holder shall be bound by and comply with Section 6.21 of the Business Combination Agreement (and any relevant definitions contained in any such Sections) as if (x) such Class F Holder was an original signatory to the Business Combination Agreement with respect to such provisions, and (y) each reference to “ENPC” contained in such provisions also referred to each such Class F Holder.

2. Agreement to Vote.

(a) Each Class F Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees from the date hereof until the Expiration Time, to vote at any meeting of the stockholders of ENPC or in any other circumstance in which the vote or consent of the stockholders of ENPC is sought (and appear at any such meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause all of such holder’s Subject ENPC Securities (as defined below) to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum) all of such Class F Holder’s ENPC Class F Common Stock and ENPC Class B Common Stock (together with any ENPC Class A Common Stock, ENPC CAPS^™, and any other equity securities or other voting securities of ENPC that such Class F Holder holds of record or beneficially, as of the date of this Agreement, or acquires record or beneficial ownership of after the date hereof, and any ENPC Class A Common Stock received in exchange therefore, collectively, the “Subject ENPC Securities”):

(i) in favor of the Transaction Proposals,

(ii) against any Third Party Proposal (other than the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions); and

(iii) against any proposal, action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VII of the Business Combination Agreement not being fulfilled.

(b) Each Class F Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees, from the date hereof until the Expiration Time, not to redeem, elect to redeem or tender or submit any of its Subject ENPC Securities for redemption in connection with the Business Combination Agreement or the Transactions.

(c) The obligations of Class F Holders specified in this Section 2 shall apply whether or not the Mergers, any of the Transactions or any action described above is recommended by the ENPC Board or the ENPC Board has affected a Change in Recommendation.

(d) Each Class F Holder hereby waives, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Transactions that each Class F Holder may have pursuant to the DGCL or otherwise by virtue of ownership of the Subject ENPC Securities.

(e) Each Class F Holder agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against ENPC, Parentco, Merger Subs, the Company or any of their respective successors or directors (i) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (ii) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the Business Combination Agreement.

(f) Each of ENPC and the Class F Holders, by execution of this Agreement, hereby agrees and consents to the termination of the Registration and Stockholder Rights Agreement, dated as of September 5, 2020 (the “Rights Agreement”) effective as of the First Merger Effective Time, without any further liability or obligation to ENPC. The termination of the Rights Agreement shall terminate the rights of the parties thereto to enforce any provisions of such agreement that expressly survive the termination of the Rights Agreement. Each Class F Holder hereby waives any right to notice, right of first offer, right of first refusal or similar rights with respect to the Transactions, in each case that such Class F Holder may have under the Rights Agreement.

3. Vesting.

(a) The Class F Holders and Parentco agree that, as of the Closing, 371,518 of the shares of Parentco Common Stock issuable to the Class F Holders in connection with the Mergers (the “Additional Shares”) shall become subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in this Section 3 (pro rata based on each Class F Holder’s relative ownership of Parentco Common Stock (“Pro Rata Share”)).

(b) The Additional Shares shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Parentco Common Stock occurring on or after the Closing. The Parties will take all necessary action so that (i) the Additional Shares shall appear as issued and outstanding on the balance sheet of Parentco and shall be legally outstanding under applicable state law but shall not be vested and shall be subject to forfeiture as described in this Agreement, (ii) all dividends paid on the Additional Shares shall be distributed to the Class F Holders during the Adjustment Period, and (iii) all voting rights in respect of such Additional Shares while they remain unvested shall be exercisable by or on behalf of the persons who would be entitled to receive such Additional Shares assuming the vesting of such Additional Shares pursuant to this Section 3.

(c) If on the 90th calendar day following the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Date”), the Adjustment VWAP (as defined below) of the Parentco Common Stock is less than $10.00, then all or a portion of the unvested Additional Shares (together with any corresponding dividends) shall vest (and shall no longer be subject to forfeiture) based on their Pro Rata Share such that the product of (i) the vested Additional Shares, plus all other shares of Parentco Common Stock issued to the Class F Holders in the Mergers, multiplied by (ii) the Adjustment VWAP equals $8,668,750. Any Additional Shares that do not vest in accordance with the previous sentence shall be forfeited to Parentco (together with the repayment of any corresponding dividends, if any, that have been received prior to the Adjustment Date) and shall be deemed to be transferred by the forfeiting holder to Parentco without any consideration and shall be cancelled by Parentco and cease to exist. For purposes of this Agreement, “Adjustment Period” means the period from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Adjustment Date, and “Adjustment VWAP” means, subject to the following sentence, the volume weighted average price of a share of Parentco Common Stock, as reported on the NYSE, determined for the trailing twenty trading days ending on the day prior to the Adjustment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Adjustment VWAP would be less than $7.00, the Adjustment VWAP will be deemed to be $7.00 for purposes of sub-clause (ii) above.

(d) Each holder of Additional Shares shall be responsible for making an election in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Code in respect of its Additional Shares. IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH SUCH HOLDER OF ADDITIONAL SHARES, AND NOT OF SPONSOR, ENPC OR PARENTCO (OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES), TO MAKE AN ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER REQUESTS THAT SPONSOR, ENPC OR PARENTCO (OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES) ASSIST IN MAKING SUCH ELECTION. EACH SUCH HOLDER THAT MAKES AN ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ADDITIONAL SHARES SHALL PROVIDE A COPY OF SUCH ELECTION TO PARENTCO ON OR BEFORE THE DUE DATE FOR MAKING SUCH ELECTION.

(e) The Additional Shares shall be non-certificated shares represented by book-entry. Parentco may enter stop transfer instructions on the Additional Shares with Parentco’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Additional Shares until the end of the Adjustment Period, and will instruct the transfer agent and registrar that the Additional Shares should bear, in addition to any legends required by applicable law or other agreement, a legend in substantially the following form (provided that such legend will be removed with respect to vested Additional Shares promptly following, and in any event within two Business Day of, the end of the Adjustment Period):

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, DISCOUNTED, EXCHANGED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE ENCUMBERED OR DISPOSED OF IN ANY MATTER, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE TERMS OF THE SPONSOR AGREEMENT DATED MAY 16, 2022, A COPY OF WHICH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICES OF THE CORPORATION.

(f) The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, after giving effect to the Transactions (including the Mergers), Exhibit A hereto sets forth the number of shares of Parentco Common Stock held by each Class F Holder.

4. Waiver of Anti-dilution Protection and Conversion.

(a) Each Class F Holder (i) irrevocably waives, subject to, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by Law and the ENPC Organizational Documents, and (ii) agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protection with respect to the rate that the ENPC Class F Common Stock held by him, her or it converts into ENPC Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.3(d) of ENPC’s Certificate of Incorporation or any other adjustments or anti-dilution protections with respect to such ENPC Class F Common Stock.

(b) Each Class F Holder acknowledges and jointly and severally agrees that, immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, and subject to Section 4(a), the 495,357 shares of ENPC Class F Common Stock outstanding that are not cancelled as a result of the Business Combination Agreement shall collectively convert into 1,238,393 shares of ENPC Class A Common Stock (which shall be subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions set forth in Section 3, and ordinary equitable adjustments on account of any stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like).

(c) The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that it is intended that the transactions described in Section 4(b), the ENPC Class B Contribution and the ENPC Private Warrant Contribution qualify as a “recapitalization” described in Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code.

(d) Except as expressly contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, each Class F Holder waives any and all rights to convert any Sponsor Loans made by such Class F Holder or any of its Affiliates into CAPS^™ or any other securities that may be issuable upon conversion of such Sponsor Loans. Each Class F Holder represents and warrants that it has not made any loans to ENPC, other than the Sponsor Loans.

5. Transfer of Shares. Subject to the following sentence, each Class F Holder agrees that prior to the Expiration Time, such Class F Holder shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), hypothecate, place a lien on, pledge, dispose of, grant any option to purchase, distribute or otherwise encumber any of such Class F Holder’s Subject ENPC Securities or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing (each, a “Transfer”), (b) deposit any of such Class F Holder’s Subject ENPC Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of such Class F Holder’s Subject ENPC Securities that conflicts with any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer (including by operation of law) or other disposition of any of such Class F Holder’s Subject ENPC Securities, (d) engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to, or which would (either alone or in connection with one or more events, developments or events (including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent)), lead to or result in a sale or disposition of such Class F Holder’s Subject ENPC Securities or (e) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the performance of such Class F Holder’s obligations under this Agreement. The foregoing shall not apply to any Transfer (i) to such Class F Holder’s employees, officers or directors, or family members of any of such Class F Holder or any Affiliates of such Class F Holder; (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an estate planning vehicle, or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an Affiliate of such Person or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) by distributions from Sponsor to its members, partners or shareholders pursuant to Sponsor’s Organizational Documents; and (vi) by virtue of the laws of Delaware or Sponsor’s Organizational Documents upon liquidation or dissolution of Sponsor, so long as the applicable transferee of any Transfer of the type set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) must

For the purpose of this Section 8, (x) “ENPC Non-Party Affiliate” means (i) any officer, director, employee, partner, member, manager, direct or indirect equityholder or Affiliate of either ENPC or Sponsor and (ii) each of the former, current or future Affiliates, Representatives, successors or permitted assigns of any of the Persons in clause (i) (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, ENPC) or any family member of the foregoing Persons and (y) “Company Non-Party Affiliate” means (i) any officer, director, employee, partner, member, manager, direct or indirect equityholder or Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Grey Rock Entities) or any family member of the foregoing Persons and (ii) each of the former, current or future Affiliates, Representatives, successors or permitted assigns of any of the Persons in clause (i) (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).

9. Further Assurances. Each Class F Holder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be delivered, such additional documents, including the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, and take, or cause to be taken, all such further actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary (including under applicable Laws), or reasonably requested by ENPC or the Company, to effect the actions and consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement (including the Transactions and the other Transaction Agreements), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and in this Agreement and in the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable.

10. Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) no Class F Holder makes any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in any capacity (including, in the case of each Other Class F Holder, in such Other Class F Holder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of ENPC) other than in such Class F Holder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of the Subject ENPC Securities, and (b) nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by each Other Class F Holder or any representative of Sponsor in such holder’s capacity as a member of the board of directors (or other similar governing body) of ENPC or as an officer, employee or fiduciary of ENPC, in each case, acting in such Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of ENPC.

ARTICLE 2

REGISTRATIONS

Section 2.1 Shelf Registration.

2.1.1 Filing. Parentco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), file with the Commission a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”) covering, subject to Section 3.5, the public resale of all of the Registrable Securities owned by (i) the Sponsor Equityholders and (ii) the Grey Rock Equityholders (determined as of two Business Days prior to such filing) on

a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Form S-1 Shelf to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or the 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies Parentco that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing Date and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date Parentco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Such Form S-1 Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. Parentco shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Following the filing of a Form S-1 Shelf, Parentco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”) as soon as reasonably practicable after Parentco is eligible to use Form S-3. As soon as practicable following the effective date of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 but in any event within one (1) Business Day of such date, Parentco shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Parentco’s obligation under this Section 2.1.1 shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4 hereto.

2.1.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, Parentco shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two Business Days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, Parentco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if Parentco is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that Parentco is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. Parentco’s obligation under this Section 2.1.2 shall, for the avoidance of doubt be subject to Section 3.4 hereto.

2.1.3 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. (A) At any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, (i) holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities held collectively by the Sponsor Equityholders (the “Demanding Sponsor Holders”) and (ii) following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, holders of at least ten percent (10%) in interest of the then outstanding number of Registrable Securities, held collectively by the Grey Rock Equityholders (the “Demanding Grey Rock Holders” and together with the Demanding Sponsor Holders, the “Demanding Holders” and each, a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”) and (B) to the extent Parentco is not eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-3 after twelve months after the date of this Agreement, the Demanding Holders may require Parentco file a Registration on Form S-1 to effect an Underwritten Offering of all or any portion of its Registrable Securities (“Underwritten Demand Offering”); provided in each case that Parentco shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Offering if such offering

shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder(s) with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $25 million or (y) all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns or Underwritten Demand Offerings shall be made by giving written notice to Parentco, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Offering. Subject to Section 2.3.3, the Demanding Holders shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to Parentco’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Sponsor Equityholders may collectively demand not more than one (1) Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.1.3. The Demanding Grey Rock Holders may demand Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.1.3 so long as the Grey Rock Holders collectively hold at least ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding shares of common stock of Parentco. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parentco may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.

2.1.4 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Underwritten Demand Offering, in good faith, advises Parentco and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other Parentco Common Stock or other equity securities that Parentco desires to sell and Parentco Common Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then Parentco shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Grey Rock Holders and Sponsor Equityholders, on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder who is requesting inclusion that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), Parentco Common Stock or other equity securities that Parentco desires to sell, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) through (ii), Parentco Common Stock or other equity securities of other persons or entities that Parentco is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.1.5 Withdrawal. Prior to the pricing of an Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Underwritten Demand Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Underwritten Offering, pursuant to a Registration under Section 2.1.1 shall have the right to withdraw from a Registration pursuant to such Underwritten Offering for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to Parentco and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw provided that the Demanding Holder may elect to have Parentco continue an Underwritten Offering if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Offering by the Demanding Holders. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Offering shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Offering for purposes of Section 2.1.3, unless either (i) the Demanding Holder has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Offering or (ii) the Demanding Holder reimburses Parentco for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Offering; provided that, if a Grey Rock Equityholder or a Sponsor Equityholder elects to continue an Underwritten Offering pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Offering shall instead count as an Underwritten Offering demanded by the Grey Rock Equityholders or Sponsor Equityholders, as applicable, for purposes of Section 2.1.3. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, Parentco shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parentco shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an

Underwritten Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.5, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.1.5.

2.1.6 Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.1, in the event the Commission informs Parentco that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, Parentco agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Shelf Registration as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Shelf Registration and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to Parentco for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, Parentco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that Parentco used commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event Parentco amends the Shelf Registration or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, Parentco will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to Parentco or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Shelf Registration, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

2.1.7 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1.3 or Section 2.1.5 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) Parentco has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify Parentco in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election; provided, further, that Parentco shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to an Underwritten Demand Offering becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.

Section 2.2 Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. Subject to Section 2.3.3., if, at any time on or after the date Parentco consummates the Mergers, Parentco proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of Parentco (or by Parentco and by the stockholders of Parentco including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to Parentco’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible

into equity securities of Parentco, (iv) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act) or (v) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then Parentco shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). Parentco shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of Parentco included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders selling their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this Section 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by Parentco.

2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises Parentco and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of Parentco Common Stock that Parentco desires to sell, taken together with (i) Parentco Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) Parentco Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of Parentco, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Registration is undertaken for Parentco’s account, Parentco shall include in any such Registration (A) first, Parentco Common Stock or other equity securities that Parentco desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)), which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Parentco Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of Parentco, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(b) If the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then Parentco shall include in any such Registration (A) first, Parentco Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, Pro Rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Registration, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Parentco Common Stock or other equity securities that Parentco desires to sell,

which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), Parentco Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that Parentco is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to Parentco and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration. Parentco (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parentco shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to an Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Underwritten Demand Offering effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

Section 2.3 Block Trades and Alternative Transactions.

2.3.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, at any time and from time to time, when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission and effective, if a Demanding Grey Rock Holder wishes to engage in (i) a Block Trade, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, either (x) $25 million or (y) all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Grey Rock Holder (the “Minimum Block Threshold”), or (ii) any Alternative Transaction, including entering into customary agreements with respect to such Alternative Transactions, then notwithstanding the time periods provided for in Section 2.1.4, such Demanding Grey Rock Holder need only to notify Parentco of the Block Trade or Alternative Transaction at least five (5) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and Parentco shall as expeditiously as possible use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Alternative Transaction; provided, that the Demanding Grey Rock Holders of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Alternative Transaction shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with Parentco and any Underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Alternative Transaction.

2.3.2 Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or Alternative Transaction, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Grey Rock Holders initiating such Block Trade or Alternative Transaction shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to Parentco and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Alternative Transaction provided that any other Demanding Grey Rock Holder(s) may elect to have Parentco continue a Block Trade or Alternative Transaction if the Minimum Block Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Block Trade or Alternative Transaction by the Demanding Grey Rock Holder(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parentco shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a block trade prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.3.2.

2.3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 hereof shall not apply to a Block Trade or Alternative Transaction initiated by a Demanding Grey Holder pursuant to this Agreement.

2.3.4 The Demanding Grey Rock Holder in a Block Trade shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such Block Trade (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), which Underwriter or Underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.

Section 2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (A) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to Parentco’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Parentco initiated Registration and provided that Parentco has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Underwritten Demand Offering pursuant to Section 2.1.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and Parentco and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be seriously detrimental to Parentco and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case Parentco shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to Parentco for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, Parentco shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that Parentco shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than twice in any 12-month period.

Section 2.5 Opt-Out Notices. Any Holder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to Parentco requesting that such Holder not receive notice from Parentco of the proposed filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1.1 or 2.1.3, the proposed filing of any Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 2.2.1, the withdrawal of any Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 2.2.3 or any suspension of sales pursuant to Section 3.4; provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently revoked), Parentco shall not deliver any such notice to such Holder pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 3.4, as applicable, and such Holder shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and each time prior to a Holder’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, such Holder will notify Parentco in writing at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a suspension of sales was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 2.5) and the related suspension period remains in effect, Parentco will so notify such Holder, within one (1) Business Day of such Holder’s notification to Parentco, by delivering to such Holder a copy of such previous notice of the suspension of sales, and thereafter will provide such Holder with the related notice of the conclusion of such suspension of sales immediately upon its availability.

ARTICLE 3

PARENTCO PROCEDURES

Section 3.1 General Procedures. If at any time on or after the date Parentco consummates the Mergers, Parentco is required to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities, Parentco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto Parentco shall, as expeditiously as possible:

3.1.1 prepare and file with the Commission as soon as practicable a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold;

3.1.2 prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus, as may be requested by any Holder or any

Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by Parentco or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and each such Holder’s legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;

3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of Parentco and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that Parentco shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by Parentco are then listed;

3.1.6 provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

3.1.8 at least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities and its counsel, including, without limitation, providing copies promptly upon receipt of any comment letters received with respect to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus;

3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;

3.1.10 permit a representative of the Holders (such representative to be selected by a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders), the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or

Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause Parentco’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parentco, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from Parentco’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Registration which the participating Holders may rely on, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.12 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing Parentco for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;

3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of Parentco’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

3.1.15 if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of Parentco to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

Section 3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by Parentco. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

Section 3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of Parentco pursuant to a Registration initiated by Parentco hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by Parentco and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

Section 3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from Parentco that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that Parentco hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by

Parentco that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require Parentco to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to Parentco for reasons beyond Parentco’s control, Parentco may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by Parentco to be necessary for such purpose. In the event Parentco exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. Parentco shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4 and, upon the expiration of such period, the Holders shall be entitled to resume the use of any such Prospectus in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.

Section 3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, Parentco, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by Parentco after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. Parentco further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Parentco Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, Parentco shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE 4

LOCK-UP

Section 4.1 Lock-Up.

4.1.1 Except as permitted by Section 4.1.2 and Section 4.2, for a period of 180 days from the date hereof, none of the Grey Rock Equityholders shall Transfer any shares of Parentco Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by such holder immediately following the Closing (the “Lock-Up Shares”), in each case until the date that is the earlier of (x) 180 days from the date hereof; (y) the date on which the closing price of Parentco Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and similar transactions) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period or (z) the date on which Parentco completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of Parentco’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Parentco Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-up Period”).

4.1.2 Underwriter-Requested Lock-Up.

Provided, however, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to sections 4.2.2 through 4.2.10, each donee, distributee or other transferee shall agree in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parentco, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

Section 5.1 Indemnification.

5.1.1 Parentco agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Parentco by such Holder expressly for use therein. Parentco shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

5.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to Parentco in writing such information and affidavits as Parentco reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Parentco, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls Parentco (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

5.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which

settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

5.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. Parentco and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event Parentco’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

5.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 5.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 5.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 5.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 6.5 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the approval of the independent directors of the Board and written consent of Parentco and the Holders of at least a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of Parentco, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected; provided, further, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects the Sponsor Equityholders shall require the consent of the Sponsor. No course of dealing between any Holder or Parentco and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or Parentco in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or Parentco. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

Section 6.6 Rule 144. Parentco covenants that it shall use reasonable best efforts to file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.

Section 6.7 Other Registration Rights.

Further, Parentco represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. This Agreement supersedes the ENPC Prior Agreement.

Section 6.8 Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon the date as of which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in

Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission)) provided that the rights of any Holder under Article II and III hereunder shall terminate when the Holder is permitted to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144 (or any similar provision) under the Securities Act without limitation on the amount of securities sold or the manner of sale. The provisions of Section 3.5 and Article IV shall survive any termination.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above.
