ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed to represent for all purposes the number of shares of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Cancellation of Certain Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock owned by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Merger Sub immediately before the Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) shall be canceled automatically and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid for those Excluded Shares.

(i) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares, Dissenting Shares and Company Restricted Shares) shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive $1.40 per share (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and subject to applicable withholding in accordance with Section 2.7, payable upon surrender of such shares in accordance with Section 2.2.

(ii) All shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) shall be canceled automatically and shall cease to exist, and the holders of shares represented by book-entry immediately before the Effective Time (the “Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to those shares, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2.

(d) Equitable Adjustment. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall occur as a result of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change with respect to Company Common Stock, then the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

2.2 Surrender of Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and/or Merger Sub shall (i) appoint Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to act as the paying agent (or such

other nationally recognized paying agent agreed to between Parent and the Company) for the payment of the amounts to be paid pursuant to this Article II (the “Paying Agent”) and (ii) enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent on terms and conditions that are satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable discretion. Parent shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Paying Agent.

(b) Payment Fund. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent and/or Merger Sub shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Book-Entry Shares, for payment in accordance with this Article II by the Paying Agent, sufficient funds for the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration (such funds provided to the Paying Agent are referred to as the “Payment Fund”).

(i) Letter of Transmittal. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to deliver (through mail or electronically) the following to each holder of record of a share of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i): (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form, specifying that delivery shall be effected upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal; and (B) instructions for returning such letter of transmittal in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration.

(ii) Surrender of Shares. Upon delivery of a duly executed letter of transmittal and any other documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the holder of that Book-Entry Share shall be deemed to have surrendered his, her or its Book-Entry Share and entitled to receive, and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay in exchange therefor, the Merger Consideration payable and issuable in respect of the number of shares formerly evidenced by such Book-Entry Share less any required withholding of Taxes. Any Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be canceled immediately. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any amount payable upon surrender of Book-Entry Shares.

(iii) Unregistered Transferees. If any Merger Consideration is to be paid and issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Book-Entry Share is registered, then the Merger Consideration may be paid or issued to such a transferee so long as (A) the surrendered Book-Entry Share shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and is accompanied by all documents reasonably required by Parent to evidence and effect that transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment or issuance (x) pays any applicable transfer Taxes or (y) establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent and the Paying Agent that all such transfer Taxes have already been paid or are not applicable.

(iv) No Other Rights. Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.2(c), each Book-Entry Share in respect of shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of any Book-Entry Share in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Book-Entry Share.

(d) No Further Transfers. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately before the Effective Time.

(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the parties hereto, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Investment of Payment Fund. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation; provided, that such investments shall be (I) in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, (II) in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, (III) in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $5 billion, or (IV) in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three (3) months. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Payment Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt payment of the Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Payment Fund lost through investments or other events so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments.

(g) Termination of Payment Fund. Parent is entitled to require the Paying Agent to return to Parent or Parent’s designee any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Book-Entry Shares on or after the first (1^st) year anniversary of the Effective Time. Thereafter, any holder of Book-Entry Shares who has not complied with this Article II shall look only to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, which shall remain responsible for payment and issuance of the applicable Merger Consideration. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent or its designee, free and clear of all claims of interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Neither the Paying Agent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of a Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property or escheat law.

2.3 Company Equity Awards.

(a) Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Option”) that has been granted under any Company Stock Plan will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders thereof, be treated as follows:

(i) as of the Effective Time, each In-the-Money Company Option that is outstanding, vested and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (any such portion of such Company Option, a “Vested In-the-Money Option”) will be canceled in exchange for

payment to the holder of such Vested In-the-Money Option of an amount in cash equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) the Merger Consideration that would be payable in accordance with Section 2.1(c) in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such In-the-Money Option had such In-the-Money Option been exercised in full prior to the Effective Time exceeds (B) the aggregate exercise price for such In-the-Money Option (such payment to be net of Tax withholdings) (the “Company Option Cash Out Amount”);

(ii) as of the Effective Time, each In-the-Money Company Option that is outstanding, unvested and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (any such portion of such Company Option, an “Unvested In-the-Money Option”) shall automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof or the Company be canceled and converted into a Converted Cash Award. Such Converted Cash Award shall remain subject to the same vesting terms, termination-related provisions and other conditions that applied to the associated Unvested In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(iii) all Company Options that are not In-the-Money Options will be canceled at the Effective Time without payment of any consideration therefor.

(b) At the Effective Time, each restricted share of Company Common Stock that is outstanding and is not vested immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Company Restricted Shares”) shall automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof or the Company be canceled in exchange for payment to the holder of such Restricted Shares of a contingent cash amount equal to the Merger Consideration that would be payable in accordance with Section 2.1(c) in respect of a share of Company Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth on Section 2.3(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(c) Each Company RSU that is outstanding as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, or the holders thereof, shall be treated as follows:

(i) as of the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Vested Company RSUs”) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration that would be payable in accordance with Section 2.1(c) in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon settlement of the Vested Company RSU had the settlement occurred immediately prior to the Effective Time (such payment to be net of Tax withholdings) (the “Company RSU Cash Out Amount”); and

(ii) as of the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is not vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Unvested Company RSUs”) shall be canceled and converted as of the Effective Time into a Converted Cash Award. Such Converted Cash Award shall remain subject to the same time-vesting terms and conditions that applied to the associated Unvested Company RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Each Company Option, Company RSU, Company Restricted Share, in each case, whether or not vested, that is outstanding and unsettled immediately prior to the Effective Time, and rights under the Company Stock Plans will terminate as of the Effective Time, and, following the Effective Time, no holder of any Company Option, Company RSU or Company Restricted Share or any other rights under any of the Company Stock Plan will have any right to acquire any equity securities of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or the Surviving Corporation as a result of such holder’s Company Options, Company RSUs or other rights under any of the Company Stock Plans.

(e) Payment of the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration for each Vested In-the-Money Option and each Vested Company RSU will be made as follows: No later than ten Business Days after the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, deliver to the holder of any Vested In-the-Money Option the applicable portion of the Company Option Cash Out Amount or the Company RSU Cash Out Amount, as applicable, net of Tax withholdings. To the extent that such Taxes are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, the amounts thereof will be treated for all purposes hereunder as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Restricted Shares as provided for under this Section 2.3 under the Company Stock Plans, under all Contracts governing the terms of all Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Restricted Shares and under any other applicable plan or arrangement to which the Company is a party or by which the Company may be bound with respect to such Company Options, Company RSUs or Company Restricted Shares, including (A) giving any required notice and obtaining any required consent contemplated thereby and (B) at the request of Parent, sending to any holders of Company Options, Company RSUs or Company Restricted Shares notices drafted by Parent (and subject to reasonable review and approval by the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with respect to the treatment of such instruments under this Agreement. The Company shall not send or otherwise make available any notices to any holders of Company Options, Company RSUs or Company Restricted Shares, or solicit any consents or other approvals from the holders of any Company Options, Company RSUs or Company Restricted Shares unless and until Parent has reviewed and approved all such notices and related documentation (including any email messages and notifications) to be sent or made available to such holders (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

2.4 Company Warrants. Each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders thereof, be treated as follows:

(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding Common Stock Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, in accordance with its terms, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof or any other Person, cease to represent a Common Stock Warrant exercisable for Class A Common Stock and shall become a Common Stock Warrant exercisable for the Merger Consideration, that such holder would have received if such Common Stock Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that if a holder of a Common Stock Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time properly exercises such Common Stock Warrant within thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the consummation of the Merger, the Warrant Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) with respect to such exercise shall be treated in accordance with the terms Section 4.5 of the Warrant Agreement.

(b) Each outstanding warrant pursuant to that certain Warrant, dated July 29, 2022, in favor of FCJI, Inc. (the “FedEx Warrant”) shall be subject to Section 12(iii) of the FedEx Warrant and FCJI, Inc. shall have the right to exercise such warrants in exchange for the exercise price set forth in the FedEx Warrant.

5.2 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Upon reasonable advance written or electronic notice, subject to applicable logistical restrictions or limitations as a result of COVID-19 reasonably implemented by the Company or any COVID-19 Measures (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not

derogate from the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.2 to the extent such obligations can be satisfied by electronic means) , the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, to all their respective properties, assets, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Parent: (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws (except to the extent publicly available on the SEC’s “XXXXX” filing system); and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent or Merger Sub may reasonably request (including Tax Returns filed and those in preparation and the workpapers of its auditors). Nothing herein shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to provide such access or information to the extent that such action (A) would reasonably be expected to result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or similar privilege, (B) specifically relates to the evaluation, deliberation or minutes of the Company Board (or any committee or subcommittee thereof) related to the Merger Transactions, the strategic and financial alternatives process leading thereto, or any information or materials provided to the Company Board (or any committee or subcommittee thereof) in connection therewith or (C) would reasonably be expected to violate any applicable Law or any confidentiality obligation owing to a third party so long as the Company shall promptly notify Parent of any such confidentiality obligations or access restrictions and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to provide such information and otherwise provide such access to Parent, if requested. No investigation pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto. All requests for access pursuant to this Section 5.2 must be directed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company or another person designated in writing by the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause their respective representatives not to, contact any partner, customer or supplier of the Company in connection with the Merger or any of the other Merger Transactions without the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and Xxxxxx and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that any such contact shall be arranged by and with a representative of the Company participating.

(b) To the extent Parent requests further information or investigation of the basis of any potential violations of Law, including Customs & Trade Laws, Sanctions Laws and Anti-Bribery Laws, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with such request and make available any personnel or experts engaged by the Company or its Subsidiaries necessary to accommodate such request.

(c) The Company shall (i) notify Parent in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable after learning of any Legal Proceeding by any Person initiated against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives in their capacity as such (a “New Litigation Claim”); (ii) notify Parent of ongoing material developments in any New Litigation Claim and any Legal Proceeding that was existing prior to the date hereof and (iii) consult in good faith with Parent regarding the conduct of the defense of any New Litigation

Claim and any Legal Proceeding that was existing prior to the date hereof. With respect to any New Litigation Claim against the Company or its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or the Merger Transactions, the Company shall consult with Parent and give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense and settlement of any such litigation, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Without Parent’s prior written consent, the Company shall not (A) waive any provision of the Company Organizational Documents providing for the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for any such litigation or (B) consent to the selection of an alternative forum other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for any such litigation.

(d) Information disclosed under this Section 5.2 and otherwise pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed under the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2023, by and between SoftBank Group Corp. and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, rights to control or direct the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before the Effective Time. Before the Effective Time, the Company shall, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, exercise complete control and supervision over the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

5.3 No Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and direct each of its other Affiliates and Representatives to, immediately (i) cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) with respect to any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, (ii) terminate access by any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) to any physical or electronic data room relating to any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, and (iii) request that each such Person promptly return or destroy all non-public information previously furnished to such Person or any of its Representatives. The Company shall not modify, amend, terminate, waive, release or assign, any provisions of any confidentiality or standstill agreement (or any similar agreement) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party relating to any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal and shall enforce the provisions of any such agreement, except that the Company shall be permitted on a confidential basis to release or waive any standstill obligations solely to the extent necessary to permit the other party thereto to submit a Takeover Proposal to the Company Board on a confidential basis.

(b) From and after the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, the Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and direct each of its other Affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly facilitate or encourage any inquiry, proposal or offer regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal, (ii) enter into,

continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with, afford access to the business, properties, personnel of the Company or any non-public information of the Company to, any Person in connection with a Takeover Proposal or any inquiries that could be reasonably expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal (other than to state that the Company is not permitted to have discussions) or (iii) execute or enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle or Contract with respect to a Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.3) (or resolve to or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing).

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(b) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to this Section 5.3(c)), at any time after the date hereof until the receipt of Company Stockholder Approval, if the Company receives a bona fide written Takeover Proposal (which was unsolicited and did not arise out of any breach of Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.3(b)), then following the receipt by the Company of such a written Takeover Proposal:

(i) the Company and its Representatives shall be permitted to contact the Person making such Takeover Proposal, solely to clarify the terms of such Takeover Proposal; and

(ii) if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) (A) that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or is reasonably expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) that the failure to take the actions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) below with respect to such Takeover Proposal would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, then the Company may, in response to such Takeover Proposal, (1) furnish access and information with respect to the Company to the Person who has made such Takeover Proposal, and its Representatives, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, so long as any material non-public information provided under this clause (1) has previously been provided to Parent or is provided to Parent substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person, and (2) participate in discussions and negotiations with such Person regarding such Takeover Proposal.

(d) Except to the extent the Company is prohibited from giving Parent such notice by any confidentiality agreement in effect as of the date hereof, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company shall advise Parent in writing of (i) the receipt (orally or in writing) of any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, specifying the terms and conditions thereof (including the identity of the Person making such Takeover Proposal or inquiry and each Person controlling such Person), and (ii) shall thereafter keep Parent reasonably informed of any changes or modifications to the financial or other material terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal or inquiry, offer or proposal, in each case also providing to Parent a copy of each written Takeover Proposal or inquiry, offer or proposal and any written changes or modifications thereto containing any terms or conditions of any proposals or proposed transaction agreements (including all schedules and exhibits thereto) relating to any Takeover Proposal or inquiry, offer or proposal, in each case as soon as practicable and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after the Company’s receipt thereof.

(e) Except as set forth in Section 5.3(f) and Section 5.3(g), neither the Company Board nor any committee (including the Special Committee) thereof shall (i) fail to make, withdraw, qualify, modify or amend, or agree to or publicly propose to withdraw, qualify, modify or amend, the Company Board Recommendation in any manner adverse to Parent (it being understood that it shall be considered an Adverse Recommendation Change if any Takeover Proposal structured as a tender or exchange offer is commenced and the Company Board, including the Special Committee, fails to publicly (x) recommend against the acceptance of such tender or exchange offer by the holders of Company Common Stock, and (y) reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation, in each case within ten (10) Business Days of commencement thereof pursuant to Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act), (ii) approve, recommend, or declare advisable or publicly propose to approve, recommend, or declare advisable, a Takeover Proposal (any action described in clauses (i) or (ii) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), (iii) fail to (1) publicly and without qualification recommend against any Takeover Proposal within ten (10) Business Days after such Takeover Proposal is made public (or such fewer number of days as remains prior to the Company Meeting so long as such request is made at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Company Meeting), or (2) fail to reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after any request by Parent to do so (or such fewer number of days as remains prior to the Company Meeting so long as such request is made at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Company Meeting), (iv) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or (v) approve, recommend or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any Contract relating to a Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (an “Acquisition Agreement”).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.3(c) and Section 5.3(e), the Company Board may, at any time before the receipt of Company Stockholder Approval, in response to a Superior Proposal received by the Company Board after the date of this Agreement, make an Adverse Recommendation Change and terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(a), but only if:

(i) the Superior Proposal did not arise from a breach by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any of the provisions of this Section 5.3;

(ii) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal and financial advisors, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law;

(iii) the Company shall have first provided at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice (the “Notice Period”) to Parent that the Company is prepared to make an Adverse Recommendation Change and terminate this Agreement to enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall include a copy of the written definitive agreements (including all exhibits and schedules) providing for the transaction that constitutes such Superior Proposal;

(iv) during the Notice Period, the Company has negotiated with Parent in good faith (if requested by Parent) to enable Parent to propose in writing such adjustments in

the terms and conditions of the documents related to the transactions hereunder (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) so that such Superior Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal; and

(v) following the end of the Notice Period (it being understood and agreed that any material change to the financial or other terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal shall require an additional notice to Parent and a new three (3) Business Day period), and after considering such negotiations and any adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents that have been agreed to in writing by Parent, the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company Board may, at any time before the receipt of Company Stockholder Approval, make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event, but only if:

(i) the Company Board has determined in good faith (and upon the recommendation of the Special Committee), after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law;

(ii) the Company shall have first provided prior written notice to Parent for at least the duration of the Notice Period that the Company is prepared to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the Intervening Event that renders an Adverse Recommendation Change necessary;

(iii) during the Notice Period, the Company has negotiated with Parent in good faith (if requested by Parent) to enable Parent to propose in writing such adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents so that the Company Board would no longer determine that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; and

(iv) following the end of the Notice Period (it being understood and agreed that any material change to the conditions constituting such Intervening Event shall require an additional notice to Parent and a new three Business Day period), and after considering such negotiations and any adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents that have been agreed to in writing by Parent, the Company Board has determined, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change continues to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law.

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company, the Company Board, the Special Committee or any other committee or

subcommittee of the Company Board from (i) complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act. Any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless in such disclosure the Company Board expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company that is required by applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the issuance of a “stop, look and listen” statement (or other similar statement pursuant to any requirement of applicable Law), taken by itself, be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change.

5.4 Employee Matters.

(a) Unless requested by Parent not to take such action at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company Board shall adopt a resolution terminating the Company 401(k) Plan (and any other plan maintained by the Company or any member of the “controlled group” that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a) and includes a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Code Section 401(k)) effective as of the day prior to the Closing and shall provide evidence of such termination acceptable to Parent prior to the Closing; provided, that any amendment, suspension or termination of the Company 401(k) plan shall not impact the benefits required to be provided pursuant to Section 5.4(c). Parent shall (i) allow eligible rollover contributions to the Parent 401(k) Plan of account balances (in cash) under the Company 401(k) Plan and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to accommodate eligible rollover contributions to the Parent 401(k) Plan of account balances in loan notes evidencing loans to Continuing Employees as of the date of distribution, in each case from the Company 401(k) Plan as soon as practicable following the Closing Date. Immediately prior to the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, the Company will have made all necessary payments to fund the contributions: (i) necessary or required to maintain the tax-qualified status of each such plan; (ii) for elective deferrals made pursuant to each such plan for the period prior to termination; and (iii) for any employer contributions (including any matching contributions) for the period prior to termination.

(b) Each employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who becomes or remains, as applicable, an employee of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries on and following the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee” and collectively, the “Continuing Employees”) shall be given credit for service with the Company or its Subsidiaries for purposes of participation in any applicable benefit programs of Parent or its Subsidiaries except for paid time-off. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to use commercially reasonable efforts to, (i) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any U.S. group health plans of Parent or its Subsidiaries to be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents and (ii) give each of the Continuing Employees located in the United States credit for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs toward applicable deductibles and annual out of pocket limits for expenses incurred prior to the Effective Time for which payment has been made.

(c) Xxxxxx agrees that each Continuing Employee shall, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, be

provided with (i) an annual rate of base salary or base wage and a target annual cash bonus opportunity that is no less favorable in the aggregate than the annual rate of base salary or base wage and a target annual cash bonus opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) other benefits (excluding any equity-based compensation, change of control, transaction or retention bonuses, pension, or deferred compensation benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.4, whether express or implied, shall confer upon any current or former employee of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, any rights or remedies including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.4, and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein will preclude the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee at any time and for any reason. No provision of this Section 5.4 is intended to modify, amend or create any employee benefit plan of the Company, Parent, Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

5.5 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Xxxxxx Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, exculpation, and advancement of expenses existing in favor of the current or former directors and officers of the Company as provided in the Company Organizational Documents or any Contract of the Company or its Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement and set forth in Section 5.5 of the Company Disclosure Schedule for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, including in respect of the Merger Transactions, shall be assumed and performed by the Surviving Corporation and shall continue in full force and effect until the later of six years after the Effective Time or the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any such claims against directors or officers of the Company arising out of such acts or omissions, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance in respect of acts, errors or omissions occurring on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the Merger Transactions, covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policies in effect on the date hereof. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if, at or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase six (6) year prepaid “tail” policies on terms and conditions providing coverage retentions, limits and other material terms no less favorable than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company with respect to matters arising at or prior to the Effective Time, except that the Company may not commit or spend on such “tail” policies annual premiums in excess of 350% of the annual premiums paid by the Company in its last full fiscal year prior to the date hereof for the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (the “Base Amount”), and if such

premiums for such “tail” policies would exceed 350% of the Base Amount, then the Company shall purchase policies that provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 350% of the Base Amount. The Company shall in good faith cooperate with Parent prior to the Effective Time with respect to the procurement of such “tail” policies, including with respect to the selection of the broker, available policy price and coverage options. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(c) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successor and assign of Parent or the Surviving Corporation assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5.

5.6 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Law, each of the parties to this Agreement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to ensure that, as promptly as practicable, the conditions set forth in Article VI are satisfied and to consummate the Merger Transactions as promptly as practicable, including by preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents. If requested by Parent, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Continuing Employee designated by Parent to accept and sign an offer letter or employment agreement and a proprietary information and invention assignment agreement, in each case, in the form provided by Parent, in respect of the employment of the applicable Continuing Employee with the Parent or one of the Subsidiaries of Parent following the Effective Time.

5.7 Consents; Filings; Further Action.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Law, each of the parties to this Agreement shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly (i) obtain any consents, approvals, registrations, waivers, permits, orders or other authorizations from, and make any filings and notifications with, any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the Merger Transactions, (ii) make any other submissions necessary, proper or advisable in connection with the Merger Transactions under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the HSR Act, the DGCL, the ICA and the Nasdaq rules and regulations and any other applicable Law and (iii) take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary, proper or advisable consistent with this Section 5.7 to cause the expiration of the applicable waiting periods, or receipt of required consents, approvals or authorizations, as applicable, under such Laws. Parent and the Company shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all such filings and notifications, including by providing copies of all relevant documents to the non-filing party and its advisors before filing.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (and in no event later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof), each of Parent and the Company shall file any Notification and Report Forms and related material required to be filed by it with the FTC and the United States Department of Justice, as applicable, with respect to the Merger Transactions (which shall request the early termination of any waiting period applicable to the Merger Transactions under the HSR Act), and shall promptly make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary, proper or advisable.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (and in no event later than the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the date hereof), Merger Sub shall file the ICA Notice, and it and Parent shall promptly make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary, proper or advisable.

(d) Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly inform the other party upon receipt of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding the Merger Transactions. If Parent or the Company receives a request for additional information from any Governmental Authority that is related to the Merger Transactions, then such party shall endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, to the extent practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response to such request as promptly as reasonably practicable. Each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable (including making any filings or notices required or requested by any Governmental Authority) under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger Transactions as expeditiously as practicable. No party shall participate in any meeting or engage in any material substantive conversation with any Governmental Authority related to the Merger Transactions without giving the other party prior notice of the meeting or conversation and, subject to applicable privilege and consistent with any direction or instruction from such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and participate. Parent shall advise the Company promptly of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) which Parent proposes to make or enter into with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger Transactions.

(e) Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall exercise reasonable best efforts to resolve or defend against such objections, if any, as the FTC, the United States Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority may assert with respect to the Merger Transactions and to obtain the ICA Clearance, any clearance required under the HSR Act, or any other approval, consent or authorization necessary under applicable Law for the consummation of the Merger Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall take any of the following actions to the extent necessary or appropriate to obtain the approval of any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the enforcement of the HSR Act regarding the Merger Transactions: (A) enter into negotiations; (B) provide information required by Law; and (C) substantially comply with any supplemental request for information in accordance with the HSR Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to: (A) litigate or contest any Legal Proceeding or Order; (B) sell, license, divest, dispose or hold separate any assets, entities or businesses (including, after the Effective Time, of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries); (C) terminate, amend or assign existing relationships or

contractual rights or obligations; or (D) otherwise take actions that would limit its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its respective businesses, assets or rights or interests therein (including the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries).

(f) Parent shall, in consultation with the Company, determine strategy, lead all proceedings and coordinate all activities with respect to seeking any actions, consents, approvals or waivers of any Governmental Authority, and the Company shall take such actions as reasonably requested by Parent in connection with obtaining such consents, approvals or waivers. Parent shall not require the Company or its Subsidiaries to, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to, take any action with respect to any Order or any applicable Law which would bind the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time or in the event the Merger does not occur.

5.8 Public Announcements. The parties have agreed upon the initial joint press release and other public communications with respect to the execution of this Agreement, and will issue such press release and public communications promptly following the execution of this Agreement (the “Joint Communications”). Other than the Joint Communications, the parties shall not, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives not to, issue any press release or other public communications relating to the terms of this Agreement or the Merger Transactions, without the prior written approval of the other parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless (i) such party determines after consultation with outside counsel that it is required by applicable Law (in which event written notice to that effect shall be first delivered to the other parties prior to any such disclosure), or (ii) that it consists solely of information previously disclosed in all material respects in previous press releases and public communications in compliance with this Section 5.8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement, each of Parent and the Company (and their respective Affiliates) may make such public communications regarding this Agreement or the Merger Transactions as it may determine, (A) after consultation with outside counsel, is reasonably appropriate to comply with the rules of the Tokyo Stock Exchange or NASDAQ; or (B) are in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements consist solely of information previously disclosed in all material respects in previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the parties in compliance with this Section 5.8 and do not reveal material, non-public information regarding the other parties, this Agreement or the Transactions. Furthermore, Parent may make such public communications as it determines reasonably appropriate subject to prior consultation with the Company and compliance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any public filings providing notice to or seeking approval from any Governmental Entity made pursuant to Section 5.7 shall be governed by Section 5.7 and not this Section 5.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.8 shall not apply to any public release or public announcement made or proposed to be made by the Company to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.3.

5.11 Notification of Certain Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of (a) any Legal Proceedings commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company which relates to this Agreement or the Merger Transactions and (b) any known fact, event or circumstance that would reasonably be likely to result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Article VI to be satisfied. No such notification (or failure to provide such notification) shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the parties hereunder.

respective Representatives, should be discovered by a party, which information should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or Schedule 13E-3, as applicable, so that either the Proxy Statement or Schedule 13E-3 would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall as promptly as practicable following such discovery notify the other party or parties (as the case may be) and after such notification, as and to the extent required by applicable Law, (A) the Company shall promptly prepare (with the assistance of Parent and Merger Sub as provided for in this Section 5.13) an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, (B) the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly prepare an amendment or supplement to the Schedule 13E-3 and/or (C) the Company shall cause the Proxy Statement or Schedule 13E-3 as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to its stockholders.

(a) at any time after 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on December 24, 2023 (as such date may be extended pursuant to the following proviso, the “Outside Date”) if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date; provided, that the Outside Date shall be automatically extended to 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on March 24, 2024 if the condition set forth in Section 6.1(b) and 6.1(c) (but solely if the injunction or other Order relates to antitrust laws) or Section 6.1(c) (including as a result of a Government Shutdown) shall not have been satisfied by the Outside Date and all other conditions set forth on Article VI have been satisfied or waived by the applicable party; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.2(a) shall not be available to any party to this Agreement if the failure of such party to perform any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement that constitutes a material breach of this Agreement by such party has been a principal cause of the failure of the Effective Time to occur by the Outside Date;

(b) if Parent or Merger Sub breaches any of their respective representations or warranties, or fails to perform any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, and which breach or failure (i) would, individually or when aggregated with any such other breaches of failures, result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect and (ii) by its nature cannot be cured or has not been cured by Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, by the earlier of (A) the Outside Date and (B) the date that is twenty (20) calendar days after Xxxxxx’s receipt of written notice of such breach from the Company, but only so long as the Company is not then in

material breach of its representations or warranties or materially failing to perform its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement in a manner that would allow Parent to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.3(b).

7.5 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in this Article VII, notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties hereto, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall immediately become void and of no effect, without any Liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or their respective directors, officers and Affiliates, except that:

(a) the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 5.2(d), Section 5.8, Section 5.9, this Section 7.5, Section 7.6 and Article VIII shall survive the termination hereof; and

(b) no such termination shall relieve any party from any Liability resulting from a Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement or for fraud.

7.6 Fees Following Termination.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 7.6, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Merger Transactions shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.9.

(b) The Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the Termination Fee:

(i) if this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.4(a), in which case payment shall be made concurrently with (and as a condition to) such termination;

(ii) if this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to (A) Section 7.3(b), or (B) Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(c), in either case, at a time when Parent would be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(b), in which case payment shall be made within two (2) Business Days following such termination; or

(iii) if (A) following the date of this Agreement and prior to the time of termination of this Agreement, a bona fide Takeover Proposal shall have been publicly announced (and such Takeover Proposal shall not have been withdrawn prior to the time of the termination of this Agreement), (B) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by (x) either party pursuant to Section 7.2(c), (y) either party pursuant to Section 7.2(a), provided, that at such time Parent has complied with its obligations under this Agreement such that Parent would not be prohibited from terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or (z) Parent pursuant to Section 7.3(a), and (C) within twelve (12) months following the date of such termination the Company enters into a definitive Contract with respect to any Takeover Proposal or any Takeover Proposal is consummated, in each case whether or not involving the same Takeover Proposal or the Person making the Takeover Proposal referred to in clause (A), in which case payment shall be made within two (2) Business Days following the

earlier of the date on which the Company enters into such Contract or consummates such transaction. For purposes of the foregoing clauses (A) and (C) only, references in the definition of the term “Takeover Proposal” to the figure “20%” shall be deemed to be replaced by “50%.”

(d) The Company acknowledges that the fees and other provisions of this Section 7.6 are an integral part of the Merger Transactions and that without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. Each party further acknowledges that the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but represents liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which the Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger Transactions. Accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.6, and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent or Merger Sub commences a Legal Proceeding which results in a judgment against the Company for the payment set forth in this Section 7.6, the Company shall pay, as applicable, Parent’s or Merger Sub’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection with such Legal Proceeding, in addition to any other amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.6, together with interest on each such amount at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date each such payment was required to be made through the date each such payment was actually received.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay, or cause to be paid, the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. In the event that Parent shall become entitled to payment of the Termination Fee, the receipt of the Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof) and the Merger (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates for damages or any equitable relief arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the Merger Transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.6(e) shall limit the rights of Parent or Merger Sub under Section 8.16 or in the case of fraud or Willful and Material Breach.

As a material inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, Parent hereby unconditionally guarantees and has the authority to and shall cause full performance and payment by Xxxxxx Sub of each of the covenants, obligations and undertakings required to be performed by Merger Sub under this Agreement and the transactions and agreements contemplated by this Agreement, subject to all terms, conditions and limitations contained in this Agreement, and hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that any such breach of any such representation and warranty or default in the performance of any such covenant, obligation, agreement or undertaking of Merger Sub shall also be deemed to be a breach or default of Parent, and the Company shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to pursue any and all available remedies it may have arising out of any such breach or nonperformance directly against either or both of Parent and Merger Sub in the first instance. As applicable, references in this Section 8.12 to “Merger Sub” shall also include the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time.

8.13 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of that provision to any Person or any circumstance, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then (a) the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of that provision, or the application of that provision, in any other jurisdiction.

8.14 Rules of Construction. The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. If an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden

of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

8.15 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns. No party to this Agreement may assign or delegate, by operation of Law or otherwise, all or any portion of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement, which any such party may withhold in its absolute discretion; except that Parent and Merger Sub may assign any or all of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, to any of Parent’s Affiliates, except that no such assignment shall relieve Parent of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment not permitted hereby shall be null and void.

8.16 Specific Performance. The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies (including those as set forth in Section 7.6) would not be an adequate remedy for any such non-performance or breach. It is accordingly agreed that the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Chosen Courts, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and the parties to this Agreement hereby waive any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that or otherwise assert that (i) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

8.17 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when executed will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement may be made by electronic or digital delivery such as in Adobe Portable Document Format or using generally recognized e-signature technology (e.g., DocuSign or Adobe Sign).
