The Merger shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or at such later time as may be specified in the certificate of merger).

(d) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the properties, rights, powers, privileges, immunities, licenses, franchises and authority and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under this Agreement and the DGCL.

Section 2.02 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b) or Section 2.04, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive $15.00 per Share in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(b) Each Share held by the Company as treasury stock, owned by Parent or Merger Subsidiary or owned by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, Parent or Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully-paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of common stock of Merger Subsidiary shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 2.03 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause LG Chem Life Sciences Innovation Center, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or another wholly owned subsidiary of Parent that is a Delaware corporation to deposit with the Exchange Agent the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02(a).

Promptly after the Effective Time (but not later than three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of such Shares at the Effective Time (1) in the case of holders of Certificates, a letter of transmittal in reasonable and customary form (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 2.08) to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates pursuant to such letter of transmittal and (2) in the case of Uncertificated Shares not held through Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), reasonable and customary provisions regarding delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to such Uncertificated Shares.

(b) Each holder of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 2.08), together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares not held through DTC, the Merger Consideration payable for each Share represented by a Certificate or for each Uncertificated Share, without interest. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates, Uncertificated Shares or any other securities pursuant to this Agreement. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate or book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid to the Exchange Agent any transfer and other similar Taxes required as a result of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent and Parent that such Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a) (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation and any such holder who has not exchanged such Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such Shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Exchange Agent, Merger Subsidiary or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(f) Prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Exchange Agent and DTC with the objective that the Exchange Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees on the first (1st) Business Day after the Closing Date an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to (i) the number of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02(a) that are held of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration (it being understood that no holder of Uncertificated Shares held through DTC shall be required to provide a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent in order to receive the payment that such holders is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(a)).

Section 2.04 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.02, Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who did not vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement (or consent thereto in writing) and is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights in respect of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment for such Shares determined in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such Shares or transfer of such Uncertificated Shares, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.03. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any Shares, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to Section 262 of the DGCL, and Parent shall have the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Option Award, whether vested or unvested, with a per share exercise price greater than or equal to the Merger Consideration shall be canceled for no consideration as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

If there is any offering period under the Company ESPP in progress as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, such offering period shall automatically terminate and accumulated payroll deductions shall, in the Company’s sole discretion, be (i) returned to participants or (ii) used to purchase Shares, in each case, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company ESPP immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation to each holder of a Company Option Award any amounts that become due pursuant to this Section 2.05, less any required withholding Taxes and without interest, within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Time.

The Company shall provide Parent with documentation evidencing the completion of the foregoing actions (the form and substance of such documentation shall be subject to review and comment by Parent, such comments to be considered by the Company in good faith) not later than the Business Day preceding the Effective Time.

Section 2.06 Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class (including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of Shares or similar transaction, or stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, but excluding any change that results from any exercise of any Company Option Award outstanding as of the date hereof), the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to provide Parent and the holders of Shares and equity awards of the Company the same economic effect for the aggregate Shares and equity awards of the Company held thereby, as applicable, as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, that nothing in this Section 2.06 shall permit the Company to take any action that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.08 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

(a) Except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, the Company and its Subsidiaries have good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all material property and assets reflected on the Company Balance Sheet (but excluding Intellectual Property Rights which are covered by Section 4.16) or acquired after the Company Balance Sheet Date, except as have been disposed of since the Company Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted Liens.

(b) None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries owns, or since January 1, 2020, has owned, any real property. Except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, (i) each lease, sublease or license (each, a “Lease”) under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries leases, subleases or licenses any real property is valid, with respect to the Company and, to the Knowledge of the Company, the other party, binding and in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject, with respect to enforceability, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity) and (ii) since January 1, 2020, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice in writing alleging that it has breached, violated or defaulted under any Lease. Section 4.15(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of each Lease as of the date hereof, true and complete copies of which have been made available to Parent prior to the date hereof.

Section 4.16 Intellectual Property Rights. Section 4.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule identifies for each item of Company Registered IP: (i) the name of the applicant/registrant (including, if different, the legal owner(s) and beneficial owner(s) of such item), (ii) the date and jurisdiction of application/registration (including with respect to domain names, the applicable Internet domain name registrar), (iii) the application or registration number, (iv) any other co-owners, (v) the status of such item and (vi) any action that must be taken within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days following the date hereof (including the payment of any registration, maintenance or renewal fees or the filing of any responses to office actions of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) or any equivalent authority anywhere in the world, excluding any actions that arise from any such office actions issued after the date hereof) for the purposes of obtaining, maintaining, perfecting, preserving, or renewing such Company Registered IP. All necessary documents and certificates currently due for filing as of the date hereof in connection with such Company Registered IP have been filed with the relevant patent, copyright, trademark or other authorities in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, as the case

may be, for the purposes of obtaining or maintaining such Company Registered IP. Neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Knowledge of the Company, any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries licensors, have engaged in Patent misuse or any fraud or inequitable conduct in connection with any Company Registered IP. Each of the Patents included in such Company Registered IP properly identifies by name each and every inventor of the claims thereof as determined in accordance with Applicable Law, and proper invention assignments for such inventors have been timely filed with the USPTO or its foreign equivalent, to the extent necessary or advisable under Applicable Law. Section 4.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists all material unregistered Trademarks used in the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with any product or product candidate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. To the Knowledge of the Company, no Trademark owned, used, or applied for by the Company conflicts or interferes with any Trademark owned, used, and applied for by any other Person for the same class of goods or services. To the Knowledge of the Company, no event or circumstance (including a failure to exercise adequate quality controls and an assignment in gross without the accompanying goodwill) has occurred or exists that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, the abandonment of any material Trademark (whether registered or unregistered) owned, used or applied for by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Each item of Company Registered IP is subsisting, and, to the Knowledge of the Company, the issued and granted items included therein are valid and enforceable. To the Knowledge of the Company, there is no basis for a claim that any Company Registered IP (other than pending applications) is invalid or unenforceable. No interference, opposition, reissue, reexamination or other proceeding of any nature (other than ordinary course initial examination proceedings at the USPTO and foreign equivalents thereof) is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, in which the scope, validity, enforceability, inventorship or ownership of any Company IP is being or has been contested or challenged. Neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Knowledge of the Company, any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries licensors or licensees, have taken or failed to take any action (including failure to disclose any information) that would limit the validity, scope or enforceability of any Patent within the Company Registered IP, other than the limitations of scope of patent applications pursuant to amendments of such patent applications made in the normal course of furthering prosecution. Neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Knowledge of the Company, any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries licensors or licensees, have sought or obtained any legal opinions regarding the validity or enforceability of any Company IP. Any official actions or other written notices from any Governmental Entity to the Company that any of the subject matters or claims of pending applications for registration constituting the Company Registered IP are unregistrable or will not issue (other than normal course non-final rejections with respect to patent applications) are identified on Section 4.16(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. None of the Company IP or any product or product candidate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any pending or outstanding order, judgment, decree, injunction or other disposition of dispute that restricts in any manner the use, transfer, registration or licensing of any such Company IP by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or may affect the validity, use or enforceability of such Company IP.

(c) The Company owns and possesses all right, title and interest in and to all Company Owned IP (except for the right, title and interest of any co-owner disclosed on Section 4.16(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule), free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). All Company IP is and, following the Closing, will be fully transferable, alienable, and licensable by the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or Parent without restriction and without payment of any kind to any other Person. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or have the right to use all Intellectual Property Rights used in or necessary for (i) the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, and (ii) the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization (in each case, as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted) of any product or product candidate that is in research or development or being marketed or sold by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company IP will be owned or available for use, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on the same terms (including the same payment obligations) as they were owned or available for use by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have: (i) transferred ownership of, or granted any exclusive license of or exclusive right to use, or authorized the retention of any exclusive rights to use or joint ownership of, any Intellectual Property Right that is or was Company IP, to any other Person; or (ii) except for Trade Secrets that lost their status as trade secrets upon the release of the Product or upon the issuance of a Patent or publication of a patent application, Patents that the Company made a reasonable business decision to abandon, or Trademarks that the Company made a reasonable business decision to stop using, permitted the Company’s rights in any Registered IP or any material Intellectual Property Right that is not Registered IP that is or was Company IP to irreversibly lapse or enter into the public domain. No Person has notified the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in writing that it is claiming any ownership of or right to use any Company IP (other than the right to use Company IP expressly granted to such Person under a Contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).

(d) No employee, director, independent contractor or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Person (other than as disclosed on Section 4.16(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) owns or has any claim, right (whether or not currently exercisable) or interest to or in any Company Owned IP and each employee, director, independent contractor or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who is or was involved in the creation or development of any Intellectual Property Rights on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to such individual’s activities on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, has signed a valid and enforceable written agreement containing (i) an irrevocable assignment to the Company or its Subsidiaries of all Intellectual Property Rights developed by such Person during his or her employment or engagement with the Company or its Subsidiaries, (ii) appropriate confidentiality provisions protecting the Company Owned IP, (iii) a waiver of any applicable moral rights and (iv) a covenant by such Person to execute and deliver all such instruments that may be reasonably necessary or proper to vest all Intellectual Property Rights developed by such Person to Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and to reasonably assist Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in the prosecution or defense of such Intellectual Property Rights. To the Knowledge of the Company, no current or former stockholder, officer, director, employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is in breach of any of their obligations to any prior employer or other third party concerning confidentiality or Intellectual Property Rights, and to the Knowledge of the Company, there is no reasonable basis for any such prior employer or other third party to claim rights to any Company Intellectual Property or misappropriation of Trade Secrets of such prior employer or third party.

(e) Except as listed on Section 4.16(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule: (i) no funding, facilities or personnel of any Governmental Authority or any university, college, research institute or other educational institution (each a “R&D Sponsor”) has been or is being used in the development of any Company IP except for any such funding or use of facilities or personnel that has not and would not reasonably be expected to result in such R&D Sponsor obtaining any ownership rights to (or the right to obtain any ownership rights to) such Company Owned IP, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other Company IP, or any rights to receive royalties or other rights to use or exploit any Company Owned IP, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other Company IP; (ii) no R&D Sponsor has any claim or right in or to the Company IP and (iii) no current or former shareholder, officer, director, employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who was involved in, or who contributed to, the creation or development of any Company IP, has performed services for any R&D Sponsor, during a period of time during which such shareholder, officer, director, employee, consultant or independent contractor was also performing services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for any such funding or use of facilities or personnel that has not and would not reasonably be expected to result in such R&D Sponsor obtaining any ownership rights to (or the right to obtain any ownership rights to) such Company Owned IP, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other Company IP, or any rights to receive royalties or other rights to use or exploit any Company Owned IP, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other Company IP.

(f) Section 4.16(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth each license agreement pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) has a license or other right to any Intellectual Property Right that is used to research, develop, manufacture or commercialize, or is incorporated into or distributed with, any product or product candidate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any material transfer agreements, services agreements, clinical trial agreements, non-disclosure agreements, commercially available Software-as-a-Service offerings, or commercially available off-the-shelf software licenses, in each case, entered into in the ordinary course of business) (each an “Inbound License”) or (ii) has granted a license or other right to any Company IP (other than any material transfer agreements, services agreements, clinical trial agreements, non-disclosure agreements, or non-exclusive outbound licenses, in each case, entered into in the ordinary course of business) (each an “Outbound License”).

(g) (i) Neither the operation of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the making, use, import, sale, offer for sale or other disposition of any product, or upon its commercialization, any product candidate, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates or in the past six (6) years has infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person; and (ii) to the Knowledge of the Company, no other Person is infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating or has in the past six (6) years infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Company IP. No action, suit, investigation or proceeding is pending or has been served in the past six (6) years (or, to the Knowledge of the Company, is being threatened) against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any actual, alleged or suspected infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property Rights of another Person or of the Company IP. Other than as disclosed on Section 4.16(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, in the past six (6) years, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received or asserted any written notice or other written communication (including cease and desist letters) relating to any actual, alleged or suspected infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property Right of another

Person by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any Company IP by any other Person. The Company has made available to Parent a complete and accurate copy of, each letter or other written or electronic communication, correspondence or other communication (in writing or otherwise) that has been sent by Company or any of its Subsidiaries to a Third Party or received by Company or any of its Subsidiaries from a Third Party in the past six (6) years alleging, asserting or implying any actual, alleged or suspected infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property Right of another Person by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any Company IP by any other Person. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, Third Party excludes Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ attorneys.

(h) The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security and other measures to protect the Company IP, including reasonable measures against unauthorized disclosure, to maintain and protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of its Trade Secrets and other technical information, and to the knowledge of the Company, such Trade Secrets and other technical information have not been used by, disclosed to or uncovered by any Person except pursuant to written, valid and appropriate non-disclosure agreements which have not been breached.

(i) Neither this Agreement nor the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the assignment to, or assumption by, Parent by operation of law or otherwise of any contracts to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, will result in: (i) Parent or any of its Affiliates granting to any other Person any right to or with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights owned by, or licensed to, Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than rights granted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date to Company IP), (ii) Parent or any of its Affiliates being bound by, or subject to, any non-compete or other material restriction on the operation or scope of their respective businesses (excluding any non-compete or other material restriction that arises from any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is not a party), (iii) Parent or any of its Affiliates being obligated to pay any royalties or other material amounts, or offer any discounts, to any other Person pursuant to any contract to which the Company is a party in excess of those payable by, or required to be offered by, the Company in the absence of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (iv) a loss of, or Lien on, any Company IP.

(j) None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has been a member or promoter of, or a contributor to any industry standards body or any similar organization that would require or obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to grant or offer to any other Person any license or right to any Company IP.

Business Day prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting) or (2) fail to reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within five (5) Business Days after any request by Parent to do so (or such fewer number of days as remains prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting so long as such request is made at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting), it being understood and agreed that, other than requests for reaffirmation made by Parent within five (5) Business Days of the date that an Acquisition Proposal first becomes public, Parent shall be entitled to request a reaffirmation of the Company Board Recommendation on a maximum of two (2) occasions or (E) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing in clauses (A) through (D) (any of the foregoing in this clause (iii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); or (iv) authorize or enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar instrument or agreement, whether written or oral, binding or non-binding, relating to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 6.03(a), at any time prior to obtaining Company Stockholder Approval:

(i) the Company may (A) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party or Third Parties (and its and their Representatives and financing sources) that after the execution of this Agreement has made a bona fide Acquisition Proposal and (B) furnish to such Third Party or Third Parties (and its or their Representatives and financing sources) non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to Parent upon execution of such confidentiality agreement) with such Third Party or Third Parties with terms no less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent prior to or concurrently with the time such information is provided to such Third Party or Third Parties (or its or their Representatives and financing sources); and provided, further, in the case of each of clause (A) and clause (B), that (1) such Acquisition Proposal was not solicited in violation of and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.03 and (2) the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal;

(ii) subject to compliance with this Section 6.03, the Board of Directors may make an Adverse Recommendation Change or, subject to compliance with this Section 6.03 and the procedures set forth in Section 10.01(d)(i), the Company may terminate this Agreement to concurrently enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if, in each case, the Company receives after the execution of this Agreement a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited in violation of and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.03 that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors under Applicable Law; provided that prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement to concurrently enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, (A) the Company has given Parent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement (which notice shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change),

(iii) if an Intervening Event occurs, the Board of Directors may make an Adverse Recommendation Change in respect of such Intervening Event; provided that (A) the Board of Directors determines, in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors under Applicable Law and (B) prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change, (1) the Company shall have given Parent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to affect an Adverse Recommendation Change (which notice shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Intervening Event and the reasons for the Board of Directors’ intention to effect such Adverse Recommendation Change, (2) if requested to do so by Parent, during the period of five (5) Business Days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith and shall have made its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith, with Parent and Parent’s Representatives, any proposed amendments or modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (3) no earlier than the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Board of Directors shall have concluded, after considering the terms of any amendment or modification to this Agreement offered by Parent during such period, and after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in respect of such Intervening Event would continue to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors under Applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any material change to the changes, events, circumstances or developments constituting the Intervening Event that was previously the subject of a notice hereunder shall require an additional notice to Parent and the procedures set forth above shall apply again with respect to such additional notice).

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement, including in this Section 6.03, shall prevent the Board of Directors or the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by, Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the 1934 Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the 1934 Act; provided that any such communication or disclosure made shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Board of Directors publicly and without qualification reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such communication or disclosure.

(d) Required Notices. The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any bona fide Acquisition Proposal or any offers, proposals, inquiries or indications of interest with respect thereto or that the Company believes is or that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, including (i) the identity of the Third Party making the Acquisition Proposal or offer, proposal, inquiry or indication of interest, (ii) a summary of the material terms and conditions thereof (it being agreed that such summary will only be required to be provided to the extent such information is not included in the information and materials provided to Parent under clause (iii) hereof) and (iii) an unredacted copy of any written proposal, written offer or other written material received from such Third Party or its Representatives in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed as to the status (including changes to the material terms or other material developments) of such Acquisition Proposal, offer, proposal, inquiry or indication of interest on a reasonably prompt basis and within twenty-four (24) hours of (i) any such material changes or material developments or (ii) any written request of Parent for such information. The Company shall also notify Parent reasonably promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt by the Company of any initial request for non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that the Company reasonably expects may be considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal.

(e) Definition of Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal obtained not in breach of this Agreement that (i) if any cash consideration is payable pursuant to such Acquisition Proposal, such cash consideration is fully financed or, to the extent financing is required for such Acquisition Proposal, is fully committed pursuant to customary certain funds financing commitments from financial institutions of nationally recognized reputation, (ii) is not subject to any due diligence condition, and (iii) the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, taking into account all relevant aspects of such proposal and any revisions to this Agreement made or offered in writing by Parent prior to the time of such determination would be more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger; provided, that for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the references to “15%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed references to “50%.”

(f) Obligation of the Company to Terminate Existing Discussions. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party and its Representatives conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or offer, proposal, inquiry or indication of interest that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal and shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day of the date hereof) terminate access by any such Third Party and its Representatives to any physical or electronic data room relating to any such activities, discussions or negotiations and request the return or destruction of all information furnished by the Company or on its behalf to any such Third Party and its Representatives, and shall enforce and not waive, amend or release any Third Party from the provisions of its confidentiality agreements with such Third Parties; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may, or may authorize the Company to, waive any standstill agreement with any Third Party, or any standstill provision included in a confidentiality agreement with any Third Party, in each case, subject to compliance with this Section 6.03, in response to any request from a Third Party not solicited in violation of this Section 6.03, in the event that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors under Applicable Law.

Section 6.04 Proxy Statement; Company Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof the Company shall prepare (and Parent shall reasonably and in good faith cooperate in such preparation) and file with the SEC the preliminary Proxy Statement, and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such filing to occur no later than November 15, 2022. Unless the Board of Directors has made an Adverse Recommendation Change in compliance with Section 6.03, the Company and the Board of Directors shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning itself and its Affiliates that is required to be included in the Proxy Statement or that is customarily included in proxy statements prepared in connection with transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement, and each covenants that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation in the Proxy Statement will, at the date it or any amendment or supplement thereto is filed with the SEC or first mailed to the Company’s stockholders or at the time of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Parent shall provide the Company such assistance and cooperation as may be reasonably requested by the Company in the preparation of the information related to Parent or Merger Subsidiary to be included in the Proxy Statement. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after the date on which the Company learns that the Proxy Statement will not be reviewed or that the SEC staff has no further comments thereon. The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement. The Company shall give Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto, prior to filing such documents with the SEC or disseminating them to holders of Shares and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all responses to requests for additional information, and shall consider any comments proposed by Parent in good faith. If, at any time prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and correct such information, and the Company shall file with the SEC an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information.

(b) Unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, and notwithstanding any Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in accordance with Applicable Law, the Company Certificate and bylaws of the Company) after the date on which the Company learns that the Proxy Statement will not be reviewed or that the SEC staff has no further comments thereon, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Company Stockholders’ Meeting”), and, subject to Section 6.03(b), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that the Company may, and shall at the written request of Parent, postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting on no more than two occasions (for the Company and Parent in the aggregate) and for no longer than ten (10) Business Days from the prior scheduled date and to a date no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding the End Date:

(i) after consultation with Parent, (A) due to the absence of a quorum or (B) to solicit additional proxies if, at the time of such postponement or adjournment, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Shares for the Company Stockholder Approval to be received at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, whether or not a quorum is present; or

(ii) after consultation with Parent, to allow reasonable additional time for (A) the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Board of Directors has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel is reasonably likely to be required by Applicable Law and (B) for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated in a manner suitable under Applicable Law and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting.

(c) Notwithstanding any Adverse Recommendation Change, unless this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall submit this Agreement to the stockholders of the Company for adoption at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and shall not submit any Acquisition Proposal for adoption or approval by the stockholders of the Company.

Section 7.03 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of not less than twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall provide the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Covered Employees”) during the period they continue to be employed by Parent, the Surviving Corporation and/or its Subsidiaries on and after the Effective Time with (i) a base salary (or base wages, as the case may be) and short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities (including, but not limited to, bonuses and commissions), each of which is no less favorable than the base salary (or base wages, as the case may be) and incentive compensation opportunities provided to such Covered Employee immediately prior to the date hereof, and (ii) health, welfare, retirement and employee benefits (including severance benefits but excluding equity and equity-based incentive compensation) that are, in the aggregate and at a minimum, substantially equivalent to those provided to such Covered Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) For purposes of determining eligibility, vesting, participation and benefit accrual under Parent’s and its Affiliates’ plans and programs providing employee benefits (including, without limitation, severance) to Covered Employees after the Closing Date (the “Parent Plans”), each Covered Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company or its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor entities) prior to the Closing Date to the same extent as such Covered Employee was entitled, before the Closing Date, to credit for such service under similar Employee Plans, except to the extent providing such credit would result in any duplication of benefits, and other than for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan. In addition, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) each Covered Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Parent Plans; (ii) all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Parent Plan to be waived for such Covered Employee and his or her covered dependents (except to the extent that such exclusions or requirements applied to the Covered Employee under comparable Employee Plans); and (iii) any co-payments, deductibles and other eligible expenses incurred by such Covered Employee and/or his or her covered dependents during the plan year ending on the Closing Date to be credited for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Covered Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year of each comparable Parent Plan (to the extent such credit would have been given under comparable Employee Plans prior to the Closing).

(c) Prior to making any broad-based or any written communications to Service Providers pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that relate to the Merger (other than any communications consistent in all material respects with prior communications made by the Company or Parent), the Company shall, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, (i) provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, (ii) give Parent a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication and (iii) consider any such comments in good faith.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 11.06, the provisions of this Section 7.03 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Service Provider or other individual associated therewith (including any dependent or beneficiary thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) constitute or be deemed to be the establishment of or an amendment or modification to any Employee Plan, Parent Plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries for any purpose; (ii) guarantee employment for any period of time, or preclude the ability of Parent or the

Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to terminate or discharge any Service Provider, including any Covered Employee, at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause; or (iii) require Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to continue any Employee Plan, Parent Plan or employee benefits plans or arrangements or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof, in accordance with the terms thereof and Applicable Law.

Section 7.04 Conduct of Business by the Parent and Merger Subsidiary Pending the Merger. During the period from the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 10 and the Effective Time, except for the transactions contemplated hereby, Parent shall not, and will not permit its controlled Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by another manner, any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into a definitive agreement relating to (or the consummation of) such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in obtaining, or significantly increase the risk of not obtaining, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, or (ii) significantly increase the risk of any Governmental Authority under the HSR Act entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties shall not be required to (or to cause their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to) defend, contest, resist or appeal any litigation, action, suit, claim, proceeding or Applicable Law, including any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, challenging, seeking to restrict, prevent, delay, prohibit, condition or make or deem unlawful, or enjoining, preventing, prohibiting or making unlawful, the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 11.04 Expenses.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

(b) Termination Fee.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i) or Section 10.01(c)(ii) or by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent in immediately available funds Twenty Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($20,400,000) (the “Termination Fee”), in the case of a termination by Parent, within two (2) Business Days after such termination and, in the case of a termination by the Company, immediately before and as a condition to such termination.

(ii) If (A) this Agreement is terminated (x) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) (but in the case of termination by the Company, only if at such time Parent would not be prohibited from terminating this Agreement pursuant to the proviso of Section 10.01(b)(i)) or (y) by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(iii), (B) after the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or otherwise been communicated to the Board of Directors and such Acquisition Proposal shall not have been publicly withdrawn prior to the time of the termination of this Agreement, and (C) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or an Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated (in either case, whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (B)); provided that, for purposes of clause (C), each reference to “15%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%”, then the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee in immediately available funds, within two (2) Business Days after the consummation of the Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (C).

(iii) If (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iii), (B) after the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced and such Acquisition Proposal shall not have been publicly withdrawn at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, and (C) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or an Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated (in either case, whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (B)); provided that, for purposes of clause (C), each reference to “15%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%”, then the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee in immediately available funds, within two (2) Business Days after the consummation of the Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (C).

(iv) If this Agreement is terminated by (A) the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) or (B) by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iii), and, in each such case of clause (A) or (B), at the time of such termination, Parent had the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i), then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent in immediately available funds the Termination Fee within two (2) Business Days after such termination.

(v) In the event that this Agreement is terminated under circumstances where the Termination Fee is due and payable and Parent or its designee, shall have received full payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 11.04(b) and any other amounts due pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11.04(c), the receipt of the Termination Fee and such other amounts shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Subsidiary, any of their respective Affiliates and Representatives or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, optionholders, managers, members, Affiliates or Representatives (collectively, “Parent Related Parties”) or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company Related Parties arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.04(b)(v) or Section 11.04(b)(vi) below shall limit the rights of Parent under Section 11.13 or in the case of fraud or Willful Breach.

(vi) Subject to the proviso in Section 11.04(b)(v), Parent’s right to receive payment from the Company of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 11.04(b) and any other amounts due pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11.04(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Related Parties against the Company and any of its former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, optionholders, managers, members, Affiliates or Representatives (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) in any circumstance in which the Termination Fee becomes due and payable, and upon payment of the Termination Fee and such other amounts, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to, arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent may seek specific performance to cause the Company to consummate the Merger in accordance with Section 11.13 or the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 11.04(b), but in no event shall Parent be entitled to both (A) equitable relief ordering the Company to consummate the Merger in accordance with Section 11.13 and (B) the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 11.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(c) Other Costs and Expenses. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 11.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Subsidiary would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay any amount due to Parent pursuant to this Section 11.04, (i) the Company shall also pay any costs and expenses incurred by Parent or Merger Subsidiary in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment against the Company for such amount payable pursuant to this Section 11.04 and (ii) the Company shall pay to Parent interest on such overdue amount (for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid pursuant to this Section 11.04 and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full) at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required to be made plus five percent (5%), or such lesser rate per annum that is the maximum permitted under Applicable Law. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.03(c), all transfer, documentary, stamp, registration, and other similar Taxes imposed with respect to the Merger shall be borne by the Company.

Section 11.05 Disclosure Schedule. The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of either the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) any other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of such party that are contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) would be readily apparent on the face of such reference to a reasonable person who has read such representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable). The inclusion of an item in either the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty (or covenants, as applicable) shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or Parent, as applicable.

Section 11.06 Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except with respect to the rights of each Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 7.02, the rights of the Company Related Parties under Section 11.04(b)(vi) and, if the Effective Time occurs, the right of the Company’s stockholders and holders of Company Equity Awards to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Article 2, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties and are for the sole benefit of the parties and that, in some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties. Consequently, Persons other than the parties may not rely on the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party hereto, except that each of Parent or Merger Subsidiary may transfer or assign its respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or, from time to time, in part, (i) to one or more of its Affiliates at any time, (ii) as collateral to any financing sources at any time, and (iii) after the Effective Time, to any Person; provided that such transfer or assignment shall not relieve Parent or Merger Subsidiary of its obligations under this Agreement or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to Parent or Merger Subsidiary. Any attempted assignment, delegation or transfer of this Agreement or any such rights or obligations in violation of the foregoing shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

Section 11.07 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

Section 11.08 Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be brought in the Delaware Chancery Court or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Parent further irrevocably consents to process being served on it in any action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof in the manner for delivery of notices specified in Section 11.01 to the Parent address set forth in Section 11.08 of the Parent Disclosure Schedules for the purpose of accepting service of any process in the United States. Parent agrees that such service upon receipt (x) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon Parent in any such suit, action or proceeding and (y) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to Parent. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 11.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

Section 11.09 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATION OF THIS WAIVER, (c) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (d) EACH OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.09.

Section 11.10 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by each other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment or waiver hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

Section 11.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein and therein and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein and therein.

Section 11.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court in accordance with Section 11.08 (without proof of damages), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties hereto

hereby agree (a) that the right of specific performance is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and, without that right, neither the Company nor Parent nor Merger Subsidiary would have entered into this Agreement, (b) not to raise any objections to the granting of an injunction, specific performance or any other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity, and (c) that no other party or 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 11.13, and each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
