Contemporaneously with the Closing, the parties hereto shall cause a certificate of merger meeting the requirements of Section 251 of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be properly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time of filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL, or at such later time which the parties hereto shall have agreed and designated in the Certificate of Merger as the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”).

2.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Company as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, and all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger.

2.5 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The certificate of incorporation of the Company in effect immediately before the Effective Time will be amended and restated in its entirety in the form of the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be the name of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time), and as so amended shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation in the Merger as of the Effective Time, and the bylaws of the Company in effect immediately before the Effective Time will be amended and restated in their entirety in the form of the bylaws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be the name of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time), and as so amended shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation in the Merger as of the Effective Time, until amended in accordance with applicable Law.

2.6 Directors and Officers.

(a) Until duly removed or until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time, and the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time.

(b) Subject to applicable Law, the Parent Board shall take all action necessary to ensure that, effective as of the Effective Time, one (1) individual selected by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Company Equity Holders and reasonably satisfactory to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee of the Parent Board (the “Designated Director”) shall be appointed to the Parent Board. Any individual selected by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Section 2.6 must meet the applicable criteria to qualify as an independent director of Parent, pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and Parent’s independence guidelines. If, at any time prior to the first annual meeting of Parent stockholders that occurs after the Effective Time, the Designated Director is unable or unwilling to serve or is otherwise no longer serving as a member of the Parent Board, then the Stockholder Representative shall select a replacement individual reasonably satisfactory to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee of the Parent Board (a “Replacement Designee”) to fill the vacancy created thereby. Parent shall cause the

Designated Director or Replacement Designee, as applicable, to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders for election as directors at the first annual meeting of stockholders to occur following the Effective Time and shall use no less rigorous efforts to cause the election of such Designated Director or Replacement Designee, as applicable, including soliciting proxies in favor of the election of such Person, at such annual meeting than the manner in which Parent supports all other nominees of the Parent Board.

2.7 Conversion of Shares and Equity Awards. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party:

(a) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation in the Merger.

(b) Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Non-Accredited Investor Shares, Canceled Shares and Dissenting Shares) and all rights in respect thereof shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive (i) the Per Share Stock Amount (and any Fractional Share Cash), (ii) an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Cash Amount and (iii) the right to receive cash pursuant to Section 2.10 and Section 10.1(b) (collectively, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), and such shares shall otherwise cease to be outstanding, shall automatically be canceled and retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate (or uncertificated shares as reflected in the books and records of the Company) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(c) All shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by a Person other than (i) a Person whose name is set forth on Section 2.7(c)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter, or (ii) a Person whose name is set forth on Section 2.7(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter and who has properly completed and delivered an investor questionnaire to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(i) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing that certifies, to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent, that such stockholder is an Accredited Investor, (any holder of shares of Common Stock, Options, Performance Unit Awards or RSU Awards, other than as set forth in clause (i) or (ii), a “Non-Accredited Investor”), in each case, shall be deemed to be “Non-Accredited Investor Shares” and each such Non-Accredited Investor Share shall be converted into the right to receive (x) an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration Cash Value (the “Non-Accredited Investor Cash Consideration”), and (y) the right to receive cash pursuant to Section 2.10 and Section 10.1(b) (collectively, the “Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration”). In the event Parent reasonably determines no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to Closing that a Common Stockholder whose name is not set forth in Section 2.7(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter may be an Accredited Investor, such Common Stockholder will be added

to Section 2.7(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that Parent, in its sole discretion, determines that any Common Stockholder whose name is set forth on Section 2.7(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter is an Accredited Investor despite such Common Stockholder’s failure to deliver an investor questionnaire, then Parent may elect to treat such Common Stockholder as an Accredited Investor for all purposes under this Agreement.

(d)

(i) Each share of Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock or held by Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their direct or indirect Subsidiaries, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Canceled Shares”), shall be canceled and retired without any conversion thereof, and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(e)

(i) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Option (other than a Non-Accredited Investor Option), whether vested or unvested and whether or not the applicable performance metrics have been satisfied, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into the right to receive, with respect to each share of Common Stock covered by such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration, less applicable Tax withholdings and less the applicable per share exercise price. The applicable Tax withholdings and the applicable per share exercise price for each Option covered by this Section 2.7(e)(i) shall be deducted from the Per Share Merger Consideration on a pro rata basis from the cash portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration and the share portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration, respectively.

(ii) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Non-Accredited Investor Option, whether vested or unvested and whether or not the applicable performance metrics have been satisfied, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, less applicable Tax withholdings, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the excess of the Per Share Merger Consideration Cash Value over the per share exercise price of such Option by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(iii) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Unvested RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into a restricted stock unit award corresponding to a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock (each, a “Parent RSU Award”) equal to the product (rounded to the nearest whole number) of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Unvested RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.7(e)(iii), each Parent

RSU Award shall have the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Unvested RSU Award had immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that such Parent RSU Awards shall be subject to only continued service-based vesting and no other vesting terms or conditions, but excluding terms or conditions related to any “co-sale” or similar agreement, right of first refusal, market stand-off, lock-up or similar obligation and legends); provided that, solely with respect to any Parent RSU Award converted from an Unvested RSU Award that, pursuant to its terms, is not currently subject to any accelerated vesting upon termination of service following the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, upon a termination of the applicable award holder’s employment without Cause or resignation with Good Reason, in each case, within twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, any portion of such holder’s Parent RSU Awards that would have vested had the holder remained employed for one year following his or her termination date immediately shall vest and any remaining, unvested portion of such awards shall be forfeited. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding proviso does not amend or modify the terms or conditions of any accelerated vesting of Parent RSU Awards converted from Unvested RSU Awards that, pursuant to their terms, are currently subject to any accelerated vesting upon termination of service following the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Vested RSU Award and each Performance Unit Award (other than a Non-Accredited Investor RSU Award) whether such Performance Unit Award is vested or unvested and whether or not the applicable performance metrics have been satisfied, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into the right to receive, in respect of each share of Common Stock covered by such Performance Unit Award or Vested RSU Award, the Per Share Merger Consideration, less applicable Tax withholdings. The applicable Tax withholdings shall be made on a pro rata basis from the cash portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration and the share portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration, respectively.

(v) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Non-Accredited Investor RSU Award (whether such Performance Unit Award is vested or unvested) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive, in respect of each share of Common Stock covered by such Performance Unit Award or Vested RSU Award, the Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration, less applicable Tax withholdings.

(f) Each Company Warrant, whether or not exercisable, shall, without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be cancelled and extinguished and shall not be assumed by Parent or Merger Sub in the Merger. Each Company Warrant that is not exercisable as of immediately prior to the Closing shall be automatically cancelled and each Company Warrant that is exercisable and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing will be converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the applicable Warrant Agreement and in turn, into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration or the

Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration, as applicable, pursuant to Sections 2.7(b) and (c).

(g) All shares of Parent Common Stock issued in connection with this Agreement shall bear a legend or legends referencing restrictions applicable to such shares under applicable securities laws and under this Agreement, which legend shall state in substance (with an additional reference to the applicable Covenant Agreement or lock-up agreement, as appropriate):

“The securities evidenced by this certificate have been issued and sold without registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state of the United States (a “State Act”) in reliance upon certain exemptions from registration under said acts. The securities evidenced by this certificate cannot be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred within the United States unless such sale, assignment or other transfer is (i) made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in accordance with each applicable State Act or (ii) exempt from, or not subject to, the Securities Act and each applicable State Act.”

2.8 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by Common Stockholders who shall not have voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly demanded and are entitled to appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration or the Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration, as applicable. Such Common Stockholders instead shall only be entitled to receive payment from Parent of the appraised value of such shares of Common Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Shares held by Common Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have waived, withdrawn, or otherwise are not entitled to, the right to appraisal of such shares of Common Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been canceled and converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the Per Share Merger Consideration or the Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration, as applicable, upon surrender in the manner provided in Section 2.9. The Company shall (i) give Parent prompt notice of any notice or demand for appraisal of shares of Common Stock or any withdrawals of such demands received by the Company, (ii) give Parent the opportunity to direct all negotiations and resolve all proceedings with respect to any such demands and (iii) not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle any such demands.

2.9 Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a)

(i) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company of national recognition reasonably acceptable to the Company, or Parent’s transfer agent, to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) hereunder. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for exchange

in accordance with this Section 2.9, (i) certificates or evidence of book-entry shares representing a number of shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to pay the stock portion of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration (other than in respect of Options, RSU Awards and Performance Unit Awards) and (ii) cash necessary to pay (A) the cash portion of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration (other than in respect of Options, RSU Awards and Performance Unit Awards), including cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(xi), and (B) the aggregate Non-Accredited Investor Cash Consideration payable in respect of the Non-Accredited Investor Shares(such cash, together with such shares of Parent Common Stock, the “Exchange Fund”). On the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay from the Exchange Fund to each Common Stockholder (subject, in the case of any Common Stockholder who holds physical Certificates, to the surrender of such physical Certificates and delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, in each case, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), (x) the Per Share Stock Amount (and any Fractional Share Cash) and the Per Share Cash Amount or (y) the Non-Accredited Investor Cash Consideration, as applicable, for each share of Common Stock held by such Common Stockholder, and following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay from the Exchange Fund to each other Common Stockholder (subject, in the case of any Common Stockholder who holds physical Certificates, to the surrender of such physical Certificates and delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal) (x) the Per Share Stock Amount (and any Fractional Share Cash) and the Per Share Cash Amount or (y) the Non-Accredited Investor Cash Consideration, as applicable, for each share of Common Stock held by such Common Stockholder, in each case in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

(ii) On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay or deliver to the Surviving Corporation (or, in Parent’s discretion, with respect to the Per Share Stock Amount, to a third party equity plan administrator), for the benefit of the former holders of Options, Vested Company RSU Awards and Company Performance Unit Awards, cash and shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to satisfy Parent’s obligations pursuant to Sections 2.7(e)(i), (ii), (iv) and (v). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation (or, in Parent’s discretion, with respect to the Per Share Stock Amount, a third party equity plan administrator) to make the payments required by Sections 2.7(e)(i), (ii), (iv) and (v) to the former holders of Options, Vested Company RSU Awards and Company Performance Unit Awards on the next payroll payment date following the Closing (but in no event more than fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date).

(b) The following provisions shall be applicable to payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration and the Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration in respect of Non-Accredited Investor Shares, Non-Accredited Investor Options and Non-Accredited Investor RSU Awards, as applicable:

(i) Promptly after the date hereof, the Company or its designee will deliver or mail or will cause to be delivered or mailed to each record holder of shares of Common Stock and each Warrant Holder, in each case that holds physical Certificates, (A) a letter of transmittal in a form prepared by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall specify (1) that delivery of (x) the Per Share Stock Amount (and any Fractional Share Cash) and the Per Share Cash Amount or (y) the Non-Accredited Investor Cash Consideration, as applicable, shall be effected only upon proper delivery of the related physical Certificates and a fully executed Letter of Transmittal in accordance therewith to the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, and (2) instructions for use in surrendering such physical Certificates and receiving (x) the Per Share Stock Amount (and any Fractional Share Cash) and the Per Share Cash Amount or (y) the Non-Accredited Investor Cash Consideration, as applicable, in respect of each share of Common Stock evidenced thereby and (B) in the case of any such holder whose name is set forth on Section 2.7(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter (as it may be updated pursuant to Section 2.7(c)), an investor questionnaire in the form prepared by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Upon the surrender of each such Certificate, if applicable, and a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and investor questionnaire at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall, on the Closing Date, pay the holder of such shares of Common Stock (x) the Per Share Stock Amount (and any Fractional Share Cash) and the Per Share Cash Amount or (y) the Non-Accredited Investor Cash Consideration, as applicable, in consideration therefor, and such shares of Common Stock and any related Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. Upon the surrender of each such Certificate and a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and investor questionnaire any time after the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall, no earlier than at the Closing and as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days thereafter), pay the holder of such shares of Common Stock (x) the Per Share Stock Amount (and any Fractional Share Cash) and the Per Share Cash Amount or (y) the Non-Accredited Investor Cash Consideration, as applicable, in consideration therefor, and such shares of Common Stock and any related Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate (other than Certificates representing Canceled Shares or Dissenting Shares) shall represent solely the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration or Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration, as applicable, relating thereto.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of an electronic Certificate shall not be required to deliver such Certificate or an executed Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration or Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration, as applicable, for each such share of Common Stock represented by such electronic Certificate that such holder is entitled to receive. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more electronic Certificates shall automatically upon

the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver on the Closing Date, in respect of each such electronic Certificate, the Per Share Merger Consideration or Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration, as applicable, for each such share of Common Stock represented by such electronic Certificate.

(iii) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of any shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, shares of Common Stock are presented to the Exchange Agent, they shall be surrendered and canceled against delivery of the Per Share Merger Consideration or Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration, as applicable, as provided in this Article II.

(iv) No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Per Share Merger Consideration or Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration payable upon the delivery of Certificates or Letters of Transmittal. None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to a Common Stockholder, Warrant Holder, Optionholder, Performance Unit Award Holder or RSU Award Holder for any cash or interest thereon delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by Common Stockholders or amounts unclaimed from the Surviving Corporation by Optionholders, Performance Unit Award Holders or RSU Award Holders twelve (12) months after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any such holders prior to the Merger who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.9 shall thereafter look only to Parent or the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claims for Per Share Merger Consideration or Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration, as applicable.

(v) Promptly after the date hereof, the Company or its designee will deliver or mail or will cause to be delivered or mailed to each holder of uncertificated shares of Common Stock and each Optionholder, Performance Unit Award Holder and Vested RSU Award Holder, whose name is set forth on Section 2.7(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter (as it may be updated pursuant to Section 2.7(c)), an investor questionnaire in a form prepared by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Person whose name is not set forth on Section 2.7(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter (including as it may be amended pursuant to Section 2.7(c)) shall not be required to deliver an investor questionnaire to receive the Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration in respect of Options, Performance Unit Awards or Vested RSU Awards held by such Person pursuant to Section 2.7(e) and each such holder

of record thereof shall automatically upon the Effective Time be deemed a Non-Accredited Investor for purposes of Section 2.7(e).

(vi) After the Effective Time, any Warrant Holders, Optionholders, Performance Unit Award Holders and Vested RSU Award Holders will be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their respective claims for the consideration set forth in this Article II, without interest thereon, but will have no greater rights against the Surviving Corporation than may be accorded to general creditors thereof under applicable Law.

(vii) In the event that 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, the Exchange Agent will issue or pay, or will cause to be issued or paid, in exchange for such affidavit of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the payments with respect to such Certificate to which such Person is entitled pursuant to this Article II; provided, that the Person to whom such payments are made shall, as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, agree to indemnify Parent and the Surviving Corporation against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(viii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. Other than with respect to any such deduction or withholding that is imposed on consideration that is properly treated as compensation for U.S. federal or applicable non-U.S. income Tax purposes, if the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, determines that any withholding or deduction is required under the Code or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, (A) the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Person with respect to which such deduction or withholding is to be made (and such notice will describe the basis for such deduction or withholding), provided, however, that the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to making any payment described in this Section 2.9(b)(viii) and (B) the parties hereto shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate to minimize the amount of such deduction or withholding; provided, further, that any such deduction or withholding shall be made on a pro rata basis from the cash portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration and the share portion of the Per Share Merger Consideration, respectively. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(ix) If payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration or Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration in respect of a share of Common Stock is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name a surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable.

(x) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered physical Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment with respect to the Per Share Merger Consideration or Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration or in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder, until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, (1) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(xi) and (2) the amount of dividends or other distributions declared on the shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date prior to such surrender that is payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and, at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(xi) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Common Stock, Options, Performance Unit Awards or Vested RSU Awards pursuant to this Article II. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Common Stock, Options, Performance Unit Awards or Vested RSU Awards converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Common Stock exchanged by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the Market Value Per Share (the “Fractional Share Cash”).

(xii) The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis, provided that (A) no such investment shall relieve Parent or the Exchange Agent from making the payments required by this Article II, and following any losses, Parent shall promptly provide additional

funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the Company Equity Holders in the amount of such losses and (B) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth in this Agreement, no Company Equity Holder shall be entitled to receive that portion of such holder’s Per Share Merger Consideration or Non-Accredited Investor Merger Consideration, as applicable, represented by such holder’s share of the Adjustment Escrow Amount or the Representative Holdback Amount until such time as such amounts (or any portion thereof), if any, are distributed to the applicable Company Equity Holders pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Adjustment Escrow Agreement and Section 2.10 or Section 10.1(b), respectively.

2.10 Merger Consideration Adjustment.

(a) At least four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare in consultation with Parent and deliver to Parent a good faith calculation of (i) the estimated amount of the Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Working Capital Amount”), (ii) the estimated Target Working Capital Amount (the “Estimated Target Working Capital Amount”), (iii) the estimated amount of Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), (iv) the estimated amount of Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash”), (v) the estimated amount of Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”), and (vi) the estimated NOL Shortfall Amount (the “Estimated NOL Shortfall Amount”), if any, (vii) the estimated NOL Excess Amount (the “Estimated NOL Excess Amount”), if any, and its good faith calculation of the Aggregate Base Cash Amount, collectively, the (“Estimated Closing Statement”).

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) that shall set forth a calculation of (i) the Closing Working Capital, (ii) the Target Working Capital Amount, (iii) the Closing Indebtedness, (iv) the Closing Cash, (v) the Transaction Expenses, (vi) the NOL Shortfall Amount, if any, and (vii) the NOL Excess Amount, if any. The Estimated Closing Statement and the Closing Statement shall entirely disregard any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Parent or its Affiliates in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) During the thirty (30) days immediately following the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement (the “Adjustment Review Period”), the Stockholder Representative and its representatives shall be permitted to review Parent’s working papers and the working papers of Parent’s independent accountants, if any, relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, Target Working Capital Amount, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash, Transaction Expenses, NOL Shortfall Amount, if any, and NOL Excess Amount, if any (with respect to the working papers of Parent’s independent accounts, after signing a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to the working papers

of such independent accounts, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants), as well as the relevant books and records of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its representatives to assist the Stockholder Representative and its representatives in their review of the Closing Statement and reasonably cooperate with respect thereto. The Stockholder Representative shall notify Parent in writing (the “Notice of Adjustment Disagreement”) prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period if the Stockholder Representative disagrees with any portion of the Closing Statement. The Notice of Adjustment Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement, the amounts involved and the Stockholder Representative’s proposed adjustments to the Closing Statement with reasonably detailed supporting documentation. If no Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is received by Parent on or prior to the expiration date of the Adjustment Review Period, then the Closing Statement and all amounts set forth therein shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Stockholder Representative and shall become final and binding upon the parties hereto. During the thirty (30) days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement (the “Adjustment Resolution Period”), the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall seek in good faith to resolve any disagreement that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement. Any items agreed to by the Stockholder Representative and Parent in writing, together with any items not disputed or objected to by the Stockholder Representative in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Resolved Matters.” If at the end of the Adjustment Resolution Period, the Stockholder Representative and Parent have been unable to resolve any differences they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall refer all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement (the “Unresolved Matters”) to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (the “Independent Accountant”). In the event that Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited refuses or is otherwise unable to act as the Independent Accountant, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to appoint an independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of national recognition mutually agreeable to the Stockholder Representative and Parent, in which event “Independent Accountant” shall mean such firm. In the event the Stockholder Representative and Parent are unable to reasonably agree to an independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of national recognition within fifteen (15) days of the commencement of discussions regarding the identification of such an independent accountant, with the commencement of such discussions marked by written notice from one party to the other, the independent certified public accounting firm shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association upon application by either the Stockholder Representative or Parent, in which event “Independent Accountant” shall mean such appointed firm. Within thirty (30) days after the submission of such Unresolved Matters to the Independent Accountant, the Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, will make a final determination, binding on the parties hereto, of the appropriate amount of each of the Unresolved Matters and such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. With respect to each Unresolved Matter, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either the Stockholder Representative or Parent, shall

not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by the Stockholder Representative in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement or Parent in the Closing Statement with respect to such Unresolved Matter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall not review any line items in the Closing Statement or make any determination with respect to any matter other than the Unresolved Matters. The Independent Accountant shall base its determination solely on (i) the written submissions of Parent and the Stockholder Representative and shall not conduct an independent investigation and (ii) the extent (if any) to which the Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash, Transaction Expenses, NOL Shortfall Amount and/or NOL Excess Amount require adjustment (only with respect to the Unresolved Matters), with such adjustments determined in accordance with this Agreement (including the definitions of Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash, Transaction Expenses, NOL Shortfall Amount and/or NOL Excess Amount, as applicable). During the review by the Independent Accountant, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall each make available to the Independent Accountant such individuals and such information, books, records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accountant to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.10(c); provided, however, that the independent accountants of Parent or the Company shall not be obligated to make any working papers available to the Independent Accountant unless and until the Independent Accountant has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants. The costs of the Independent Accountant shall be paid 50% by the Stockholder Representative (from the Representative Holdback Amount) on behalf of the Company Equityholders and 50% by Parent.

(d) The “Final Closing Statement” shall mean (i) in the event that no Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period, the Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.10(b), (ii) in the event that a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period and Parent and the Stockholder Representative are able to agree on all matters set forth in such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Closing Statement delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent pursuant to Section 2.10(b) as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of Parent and the Stockholder Representative in writing or (iii) in the event that a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period and Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to agree on all matters set forth in such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.10(b) as adjusted by the Independent Accountant to be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Independent Accountant of the Unresolved Matters in accordance with Section 2.10(c). The date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.10(d) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(e) The “Aggregate Final Cash Amount” shall mean the Base Cash Consideration minus (i) the Closing Indebtedness as set forth in the Final Closing Statement, minus (ii) the amount of Transaction Expenses as set forth in the Final Closing Statement, minus (iii) the amount, if any, by which the Target Working Capital Amount exceeds the Closing Working Capital (as set forth in the Final Closing Statement), plus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the Closing Working Capital (as set forth in the Final Closing Statement) exceeds the Target Working Capital Amount, plus (v) the Closing Cash as set forth in the Final Closing Statement, minus (vi) the Adjustment Escrow Amount, minus (vii) the Representative Holdback Amount, plus (viii) the Aggregate Option Exercise Price, minus (ix) the NOL Shortfall Amount, if any (as set forth in the Final Closing Statement) plus (x) the NOL Excess Amount, if any (as set forth in the Final Closing Statement).

(f) If the Aggregate Final Cash Amount is less than the Aggregate Base Cash Amount paid at the Closing (such difference, the “Deficiency Amount”), then Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Determination Date, instruct the Escrow Agent to (i) release to Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Parent, an amount equal to the absolute value of the Deficiency Amount; (ii) release to the Exchange Agent, for payment to the Common Stockholders, the portion allocable to the Common Stockholders of the balance remaining (if any) of the Adjustment Escrow Account (after any payment made to Parent from the Adjustment Escrow Account pursuant to the foregoing clause (i)), including any earnings thereon; and (iii) release to the Surviving Corporation for payment to the former holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and Vested RSU Awards the portion allocable to the former holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and Vested RSU Awards of the balance remaining (if any) of the Adjustment Escrow Account (after any payment made to Parent from the Adjustment Escrow Account pursuant to the foregoing clause (i)), including any earnings thereon. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make such payments to the applicable Company Equity Holders on the next payroll payment date thereafter (but in no event more than fifteen (15) days thereafter). The Adjustment Escrow Amount shall serve as the sole and exclusive source of payment of any recovery by Parent pursuant to this Section 2.10.

(g) If the Aggregate Final Cash Amount is greater than the Aggregate Base Cash Amount paid at the Closing (such difference, the “Excess Amount”), then (i) Parent shall deliver, within five (5) Business Days after the Determination Date, (A) the portion of the absolute value of the Excess Amount allocable to the Common Stockholders to the Exchange Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Exchange Agent, for payment to the Common Stockholders and (B) the portion of the absolute value of the Excess Amount allocable to the former holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and Vested RSU Awards to the Surviving Corporation, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Surviving Corporation, for payment to the former holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and Vested RSU Awards (subject to any applicable withholding Taxes) and (ii) Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Determination Date, instruct the Escrow Agent to release the entire balance of the Adjustment

Escrow Account, including any earnings thereon, such that (A) the portion of the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account allocable to the Common Stockholders is paid to the Exchange Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Exchange Agent, for payment to the Common Stockholders and (B) the portion of the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Account allocable to the former holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and Vested RSU Awards is paid to the Surviving Corporation, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Surviving Corporation, for payment to the former holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and Vested RSU Awards (subject to any applicable withholding Taxes). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make such payments to the applicable Company Equity Holders on the next payroll payment date thereafter (but in no event more than fifteen (15) days thereafter).

(h) The Exchange Agent shall distribute the amounts received, if any, pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or (g), as applicable, to the Common Stockholders.

(i) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon distribution instructions provided by the Stockholder Representative, including with respect to whether any individual Common Stockholder or holder of Options, Performance Unit Awards or RSU Awards received the appropriate portion of any such distribution, and in no event will Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates have any liability to any person on account of payments or distributions made by the Exchange Agent in accordance with the instructions of the Stockholder Representative.

2.11 Certain Adjustments. If, during the Interim Period, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class of shares by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Per Share Merger Consideration, the Per Share Merger Consideration Cash Value, the Equity Award Exchange Ratio and the consideration payable to holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and RSU Awards pursuant to Section 2.7(e) shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change; provided that nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be construed to permit Parent to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

2.12 Escrow Amounts. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, the Adjustment Escrow Amount into an escrow account to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Adjustment Escrow Agreement.

(a) The amount of cash in the Adjustment Escrow Account (including any earnings on amounts held in the Adjustment Escrow Account) shall be available to offset any payments owed to Parent pursuant to Section 2.10 and shall serve as the sole and exclusive source of any and all payments to Parent by the Company Equity Holders, pursuant to Section 2.10.

(b) The terms of and timing of payments from the Adjustment Escrow Account shall be in accordance with this Agreement and the Adjustment Escrow Agreement.

2.13 Transaction Expenses. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Parent a written report setting forth a list of the Transaction Expenses. At the Closing, Parent shall pay to each third party designated by the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Transaction Expenses attributable to such third party; provided that the Bonus Pool Amount shall be paid as described in Section 2.14. For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts included in the definition of Closing Indebtedness shall be included in the Transaction Expenses.

2.14 Retention Bonus Pool.

(a) Prior to Closing, the Company shall establish a program of discretionary retention bonuses (the “Retention Bonuses”) up to $30,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Bonus Pool”) to be granted to certain key employees selected by the Company and with such other terms as it may designate, in each case, in its sole discretion after consulting in good faith with the Chief Executive Officer of Parent pursuant to a retention bonus plan and/or retention bonus agreements (the “Retention Program”). Upon the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited into a segregated, interest-bearing account of the Surviving Corporation, separate from and not commingled with the general funds of the Surviving Corporation (the “Bonus Account”) an amount equal to the Bonus Pool Amount.

(b) Prior to Closing, the Company shall provide Parent with copies of the retention bonus plan, retention bonus agreements, and a scheduled of each outstanding retention bonus granted under the Retention Program and all relevant vesting and payment terms. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay each holder of any Retention Bonus that becomes payable after the Closing his or her Retention Bonus from the Bonus Account, less any required withholding Taxes, in accordance with the Retention Program and pay any employer payroll Taxes payable in respect of any such Retention Bonus from the Bonus Account. Upon the forfeiture of any Retention Bonus by any holder thereof pursuant to the Retention Program, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to retain in the Bonus Account the applicable Retention Bonus and amounts therein related to any employer payroll Taxes in respect of such Retention Bonus. On the date on which all Retention Bonuses have been paid or forfeited in accordance with their terms (the “Bonus Pool End Date”), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to release (1) the portion of the remaining balance of the Bonus Account that is allocable to the Common Stockholders to the Exchange Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Exchange Agent, for payment to the Common Stockholders and (2) the portion of the remaining balance of the Bonus Account that is allocable to the former holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and Vested RSU Awards to the Surviving Corporation, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Surviving Corporation, for payment to the former holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and Vested RSU Awards (subject to any applicable withholding Taxes). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make such payments to the applicable Company Equity Holders on the next payroll payment date after the Bonus Pool End Date (but in no event more than fifteen (15) days thereafter).

to give Parent and Merger Sub and Parent’s and Merger Sub’s representatives, upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the assets, properties, facilities, offices, books, records, Contracts and representatives of the Xxxxxxxx Companies as Parent or Merger Sub may reasonably request and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, permit Parent and Merger Sub to make such inspections as Parent or Merger Sub may reasonably request and to furnish Parent or Merger Sub during such period with all such information relating to the Xxxxxxxx Companies as Parent or Merger Sub may from time to time reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide access to, or cause its Subsidiaries to provide access to, or disclose (i) any information or documents which would (in the reasonable judgment of the Company) be reasonably likely to (A) constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or other privilege held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) violate any applicable Laws or (ii) if the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties in a litigation, any information that is reasonably pertinent thereto; provided, however, the Company shall inform Parent as to the general nature of what is being withheld and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure that does not suffer from any of the foregoing impediments.

(b) Any information provided to or obtained by Parent or Merger Sub or their respective representatives pursuant to Section 5.3(a) will be subject to the Amended and Restated Confidentiality Agreement, dated September 1, 2018, entered into by and between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and must be held by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) in accordance with and be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Except as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Law or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or national market system upon which the securities of Parent are listed, including the filing of any Current Report on Form 8-K or other appropriate filings with the SEC, no party hereto will issue any press release or other public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Company, in the case of Parent, or Parent, in the case of all other parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without such prior written consent, (a) Parent shall be permitted to issue a press release or other public announcement containing information relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby that is substantially consistent with information included in a press release or other public announcement previously approved pursuant to the preceding sentence and (b) Parent shall be entitled, without the written consent of the Company, to answer questions from analysts and investors of Parent related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby provided, that Parent’s answers are not substantively inconsistent with information included in a press release or other public announcement previously approved pursuant to the preceding sentence.

5.5 Records. From and after the Closing, Parent shall provide the Stockholder Representative and its authorized representatives with reasonable access (for the purpose of examining and copying), during normal business hours, upon reasonable advanced notice, to any books and records and other materials in the possession of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with any matter relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to periods or occurrences prior to or on

the Closing Date (including the preparation of financial statements including for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, and the management and handling of any Action), or compliance with the rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority. Parent’s obligations with respect to such books and records shall include maintaining, for at least the retention period specified in this Section 5.5, computer systems permitting access to any such books and records which are stored in electronic form in a fashion which is not less efficient than current access methods. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Stockholder Representative, Parent shall not and shall cause the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries not to, for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date, destroy or otherwise dispose of any books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or any portions thereof, relating to periods prior to the Closing Date without first offering to surrender to the Stockholder Representative such books and records and materials or such portions thereof.

5.6 Indemnification.

(a) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor the obligations with respect to all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers, or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Individuals”) as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company or any such Subsidiary (in each case, as in effect on the date hereof or in any Contract). For a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, the Indemnified Individuals with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Effective Time, to the fullest extent provided by (A) the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (in each case, as in effect on the date hereof) or (B) any indemnification agreement or other Contract set forth in Section 5.6 of the Company Disclosure Letter, which provisions thereafter shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any of the Indemnified Individuals.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.6(a), for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Individual from and against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement (including, in each case, any interest or assessments thereon) in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Individual’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any Indemnified Individual incurred or expected to be incurred in connection with any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, in each case, to the extent that such Persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses as of the date of this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries

pursuant to (A) the Organizational Documents of the Company or such Subsidiary (in each case, as in effect on the date hereof), (B) any indemnification agreement or other Contract set forth in Section 5.6 of the Company Disclosure Letter, which provisions thereafter shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any of the Indemnified Individuals, or (C) applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to advance expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in the defense of any Proceeding or investigation with respect to the matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.6 in accordance with the procedures (if any) set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or equivalent documents, of the Company provided, that the applicable Person provides an undertaking to repay such advance if it is ultimately determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.6 or otherwise.

(c) Parent shall cause the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to include exculpation and indemnification provisions with respect to acts or omissions by the Indemnified Individuals in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Effective Time which shall be no less favorable to such Indemnified Individuals than the indemnification and exculpation provisions contained in the Organizational Documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement. For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Parent shall not (and shall not cause or permit the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to) amend or modify such provisions in any way adverse to the Indemnified Individuals.

(d) Parent agrees that any indemnification and advancement of expenses available to any Indemnified Individual who is a current or former director of the Company by virtue of such Indemnified Individual’s service as a partner or employee of any investment fund that is an Affiliate of the Company prior to the Closing (any such current or former director, a “Sponsor Director”) shall be secondary to the indemnification and advancement of expenses to be provided by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 5.6 and that the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (A) be the primary indemnitors of first resort for Sponsor Directors to the extent of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.6, (B) be fully responsible for the advancement of all expenses and the payment of all damages with respect to Sponsor Directors to the extent set forth in Section 5.6, and (C) not make any claim for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of any other indemnification available to any Sponsor Director with respect to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.6.

(e) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys substantially all its assets to any person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.6 or Parent shall take such other action to

ensure that the ability of the Surviving Corporation, legal and financial, to satisfy such obligations will not be diminished.

(f) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall obtain a prepaid (or “tail”) directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time for six (6) years from the Effective Time, covering each person currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (a complete and accurate copy of which has been made available to Parent), and the costs payable in connection with such policy shall constitute Transaction Expenses.

(g) Notwithstanding Section 10.4, the provisions of this Section 5.6 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Individual, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other right to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

5.7 Reasonable Best Efforts; Cooperation. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and subject to Section 5.8(d), the Company and Parent agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties hereto in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to obtain satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including: (a) as promptly as practicable, obtaining, filing or delivering all of the necessary Consents and clearances from Governmental Authorities and other third parties and the making of all filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain Consent or clearance from, or to avoid an Action by, any Governmental Authority; (b) the defending of any Actions, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Authority vacated or reversed; and (c) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement; provided, that, in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to pay, prior to the Effective Time, any fee, penalty or other consideration to obtain any such Consent or clearance in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless such fee, penalty or other consideration will be reimbursed by Parent.

Neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Parent, on the other hand, shall agree to participate in any substantive meeting or conference, whether in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of the investigation), litigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting.

(c) Subject to Section 5.8(d), if any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under the Applicable Competition Laws, or if any Action is instituted by any Governmental Authority or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of the Applicable Competition Laws, each of the Company and Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to oppose or defend against any action to prevent or enjoin consummation of this Agreement (and the transactions contemplated herein), including by defending any Action brought by any Governmental Authority in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated, overturned or terminated, including by appeal if necessary, and by proposing, negotiating, committing to and/or effecting any Remedial Actions (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.8(d)), in each case, in order to resolve any such objections or challenge as such Governmental Authority or private party may have to such transactions under the HSR Act or any other applicable Law so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in Section 5.7 or this Section 5.8 shall require Parent or any of its Affiliates to offer, accept or agree to (i) dispose, sell or hold separate any part of its or any Xxxxxxxx Company’s business, operations, assets or product lines (or any combination of the foregoing), (ii) restrict the manner in which, or whether, it (including after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or any Xxxxxxxx Company may carry on business in any part of the world, (iii) pay any consideration (other than ordinary course filing, application or similar fees and charges) to obtain any Consent in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) terminate existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of it or any Xxxxxxxx Company, (v) terminate any venture or other arrangement of it or any Xxxxxxxx Company or (vi) otherwise take or commit to take actions that after the Closing Date would limit its or any Xxxxxxxx Company’s freedom of action with respect to, or ability to retain, one or more of the businesses, operations, assets or product lines (the actions described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) collectively, “Remedial Actions”), to the extent the Remedial Actions, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to result in a financial impact (as reasonably determined) on Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) in excess of $300,000,000; provided that for purposes of this sentence, “financial impact (as reasonably determined”), to the extent it relates to (A) divesting tangible (including fixed) or intangible assets (other than revenue-generating Contracts), shall be determined based on the fair market value of the applicable assets, and (B) divesting or terminating revenue-generating Contracts, shall be determined based on the applicable revenue associated with such Contracts (during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2018) multiplied by three.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and subject to Section 5.8(d), the parties agree that Parent shall have the right (subject to consultation with the Company) to devise the strategy (including the timing thereof) for all registrations, filings, forms, notices, petitions, statements, submissions of information, applications and other documents, communications and correspondence contemplated by, made in connection with or subject to Section 5.7 or this Section 5.8.

5.10 Employee Matters.

substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided by the Xxxxxxxx Companies immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that no pre-existing conditions, exclusions or waiting periods shall apply to Continuing Employees under the benefit plans provided for those employees, except to the extent such condition or exclusion was applicable to an individual Continuing Employee prior to the Effective Time. With respect to the plan year during which the Effective Time occurs, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Continuing Employee with credit for deductibles and out-of-pocket requirements paid prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any benefit plan of Parent or one of its affiliates in which such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate following the Closing Date.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide credit (without duplication) to Continuing Employees for their service recognized by any Xxxxxxxx Company as of the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility, vesting, continuous service, determination of service awards, vacation, paid time-off, and severance entitlements to the same extent and for the same purposes as such service was credited under the Employee Plans; provided that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service, for purposes of any frozen or discontinued employee plan of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any frozen or discontinued portion of an employee plan of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or for purposes of benefit accrual under any retiree medical plan.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, if requested by Parent in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the applicable plan or arrangement, the Company shall cause each of the Company’s 401(k) plans (the “Company 401(k) Plans”) to be terminated effective immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the event that Parent requests that the Company 401(k) Plans be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such plans have been terminated (the form and substance of which shall be subject to review and approval by Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld)) not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Effective Time. If the Company 401(k) Plans are terminated pursuant to this Section 5.10(d), then, as soon as practicable following the plan termination date, Parent shall permit all Continuing Employees who were eligible to participate in the Company 401(k) Plans prior to the plan termination date to participate in Parent’s 401(k) plan and shall permit each such Continuing Employee to elect to transfer his or her account balance when distributed from the terminated Company 401(k) Plan, including any outstanding participant loans, to Parent’s 401(k) plan.

(e) Prior to making any broad-based written or material oral communications to the employees of any Xxxxxxxx Company pertaining to the treatment of compensation or benefits in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company

shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended broad-based communication, and Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the broad-based communication. Any reasonable comments from Parent shall be incorporated into such broad-based communication.

(f) The Company shall (i) use reasonable best efforts to obtain, no less than four (4) days prior to the Closing, a waiver from each “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder) that shall provide that, if the requisite stockholder approval under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations thereunder is not obtained, no payments or benefits that would separately or in the aggregate constitute “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder) with respect to such disqualified individual in the absence of such stockholder approval shall be payable to or retained by such disqualified individual to the extent such excess parachute payments would not be deductible by reason of the application of Section 280G of the Code or would result in the imposition of excise Taxes under Section 4999 of the Code upon such disqualified individual; and (ii) to the extent such waivers are obtained, deliver, no less than three (3) days prior to the Closing, to the stockholders of the Company a disclosure statement in a form which satisfies the disclosure obligations under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and which solicits and recommends that the shareholders vote in favor of the transactions disclosed therein through a vote meeting the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and which provides for a voting process that is intended to be completed no later than the day prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall provide Parent and its representatives with a copy of the form of such waiver and such disclosure statement for its review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) no less than three (3) Business Days prior to delivery to each such disqualified individual and shareholders of the Company, respectively, and the Company shall incorporate all reasonable comments timely provided by Parent or its representatives. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Parent shall provide to the Company all Contracts or other agreements or arrangements (or a summary thereof that satisfies the disclosure obligations under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code) that are (or will be) entered into by Parent or any of its Affiliates (or under which Parent or any of its Affiliates have liability) that would reasonably be expected to result in a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (alone or in combination with any other event) with respect to a “disqualified individual” of the Company. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, with respect to each “disqualified individual” of the Company, the Company shall provide to Parent: (i) a schedule that sets forth (A) the Company’s reasonable, good faith estimate of all payments or benefits that would reasonably be expected to be “parachute payments” to such disqualified individual as a result of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (alone or in combination with any other event), and (B) the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) for each such individual, and (ii) the underlying data and documentation on which such schedule is based.

(g) The provisions of this Section 5.10 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and neither any current or former employee, nor any other individual associated therewith, is or shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, (i) constitute the establishment of, or an amendment to, any Employee Plan or any employee benefit plan of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent to amend, modify or terminate any Employee Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (iii) give any third party any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.10, (iv) prevent the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, prior to, at or after the Effective Time, from terminating the employment of any employee (including any Continuing Employee) or (v) be deemed to confer upon any such individual or legal representative any rights under or with respect to any plan, program or arrangement described in or contemplated by this Agreement, and each such individual or legal representative shall be entitled to look only to the express terms of any such plan, program or arrangement for his or her rights thereunder.

(h) Parent shall take all actions necessary or appropriate (including adopting forms of award agreement consistent with the Management Incentive Plan) to, at the Effective Time, implement the Management Incentive Plan (including the grant of MIP Awards thereunder) in accordance with applicable Law and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with Parent in connection with such actions. Parent shall ensure that all shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Parent RSU Awards or the MIP Awards are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Not later than the Closing, Parent shall cause an effective registration statement on Form S-8 to register the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Parent RSU Awards and the MIP Awards, and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as any such awards remain outstanding.

5.11 Company Stockholder Approval; Stockholder Notice.

(a) Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Parent a true and complete copy of a written consent evidencing the approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company’s stockholders holding at least 80% voting power of the outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote thereon (the “Company Stockholder Approval”). The Company shall exercise any drag-along rights that the Company believes are applicable under the Stockholders Agreements and request each holder of Common Stock party thereto to execute and deliver joinders to the Company Stockholder Approval and to waive any appraisal or similar rights in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall prepare (and shall provide Parent with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on) and mail, within ten (10) days of the date hereof, a notice of action by written consent as required by Sections 228(e) and 262 of the DGCL

5.13 Termination of Affiliate Transactions; Other Arrangements. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause all Affiliate Agreements, including any commitments to issue any Common Stock or other equity interests in any Xxxxxxxx Company, to be settled or otherwise terminated prior to the Closing, and effective prior to the Effective Time, without any liability on the part of any Xxxxxxxx Company, Parent or any of its Affiliates (including liability arising from such termination), except for this Agreement, the Adjustment Escrow Agreement, and those Contracts or other transactions set forth in Section 5.13 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

5.14 Financing and Financing Cooperation.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to satisfy all of the conditions that are within their control to and obtain the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter (or, in the event any portion or all of such Financing becomes unavailable or otherwise undesirable, alternative financing (in an amount sufficient, together with the remaining Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter, if any, and any other sources available to Parent and Merger Sub, to fund the payment of the Merger Amount) from the same or other sources) as and to the extent (but only to the extent) required to fund the Merger Amount and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing (or replacement thereof). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall give the Company prompt notice (i) upon becoming aware of any actual or potential material breach or default by any party to the Commitment Letter (or any replacement thereof) or definitive agreements related to the Financing and (ii) of the receipt of any notice or other communication from any Person party to any definitive document relating to the Financing (or any replacement thereof) or the Commitment Letter (or any replacement thereof) with respect to any material breach of Parent or any of its Affiliates of its obligations under any such document or letter or default, termination or repudiation by any party to any such document or letter. Unless the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter (or any replacement thereof) becomes unavailable in whole or in part, Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, agree to amend, modify, supplement, restate, substitute or replace the Commitment Letter (or any replacement thereof) if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, substitution or replacement (a) materially expands the conditions precedent to the funding on the Closing Date of the Financing as set forth in the Commitment Letter as in effect as of the date hereof (or in such replacement, as applicable) or (b) taking into account the expected timing of the Marketing Period, would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding

the foregoing, if the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter (or any replacement thereof) becomes unavailable, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to negotiate and enter into definitive documents with respect to alternative financing on terms not less favorable, in any material respect, with respect to conditionality and enforceability, when taken as a whole, than those contained in the Commitment Letter.

(b) The Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to provide all cooperation that is necessary, customary or advisable and requested by Parent to assist Parent and Merger Sub, in arranging, obtaining and syndicating any of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter or any other bank financing (or, if such Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter becomes unavailable, with respect to any replacement Financing) including, without limitation, by:

(i) making senior management and advisors of the Company and its Subsidiaries available to participate at reasonable times in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations (and, if the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter becomes unavailable and the replacement thereof consists of a securities offering, roadshows) and due diligence sessions that are requested a reasonable time period in advance with proposed lenders (and, if the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter becomes unavailable and the replacement thereof consists of a securities offering, underwriters, initial purchasers or placement agents), and in sessions with rating agencies,

(ii) providing reasonable and timely assistance to Parent and the Financing Entities in their preparation of (1) materials for lender presentations, confidential information memoranda (public and non-public), (and, if the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter becomes unavailable and the replacement thereof consists of a securities offering, offering memoranda and prospectuses) and similar documents customary or required in connection with the Financing and (2) customary (for a Financing of the type contemplated by the Commitment Letter or, in the event the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter becomes unavailable, any replacement Financing) pro forma financial statements reflecting the Merger and the Financing (it being understood that nothing in this Section 5.14(b)(ii) shall require the Company to prepare any pro forma financial statements)

(iii) as promptly as practicable on an ongoing basis, (A) furnishing Parent and the Financing Entities with (I) the Required Financial Information; (II) the Closing Financial Information, and (III) such other financial and other information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as is customary or reasonably necessary for the arrangement, syndication and completion of the Financing of a type contemplated by the Commitment Letter and (B) if the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter becomes unavailable, using reasonable efforts to furnish Parent and the Financing Entities with such other financial and other information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as is both (1) readily available to the

Company and its Subsidiaries or can be obtained or created through the use of reasonable best efforts by the Company and its Subsidiaries and (2) customary or reasonably necessary for the arrangement, syndication and completion of such Financing,

(iv) if requested in writing by Parent at least nine (9) days prior to the Closing Date, furnish to Parent and the Financing Parties all information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries that is requested by Parent and required in connection with the Financing by regulatory authorities under applicable “beneficial ownership,” “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date,

(v) providing customary authorization letters authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders and containing a customary representation to the Financing Parties for the Financing that such information does not contain a material misstatement or omission about the Company and its Subsidiaries and containing a representation to the Financing Parties that the public side versions of such documents, if any, do not include material non-public information about the Company and its Subsidiaries or its or their securities,

(vi) executing and delivering definitive financing documents, including any pledge and security documents, any loan agreements, guarantees, currency or interest hedging agreements, certificates, and other definitive financing documents, and in each case assisting in the preparation of applicable schedules and other information necessary in connection therewith,

(vii) using reasonable best efforts to facilitate the pledging of collateral (including delivery of stock and other equity certificates of the Company and its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time), and

(viii) promptly notifying Parent and Merger Sub in the event that the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives determines that any Required Financial Information that the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives has delivered to Parent, Merger Sub or any of the Financing Parties contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, taken as a whole, not misleading in light of the circumstances under which made.

(c) The provisions of Section 5.14(b) notwithstanding, nothing in the foregoing Section 5.14(b) will require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives to:

(i) agree to pay any fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Effective Time for which it has not received prior reimbursement or is not otherwise indemnified by or on behalf of Parent,

(ii) take any action or provide any assistance that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries,

(iii) take any action or provide any information that will conflict with or violate its organizational documents or any applicable material Laws or (in the case of the disclosure of information) would result in the waiver of any legal privilege (provided, however, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide an alternative means of disclosing or providing such information to the maximum extent permitted by Law or to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of such legal privilege, as applicable, and in the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not provide access or information in reliance on this clause, the Company shall provide notice to Parent that information is being withheld),

(iv) give indemnities that are effective prior to the Effective Time for which it is not simultaneously indemnified by Parent,

(v) pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Financing or any definitive agreements with respect thereto prior to the Effective Time, provided that the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective representatives shall cooperate with Parent to replace any officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries who will not be employed thereby immediately after Closing with Persons designated by Parent and to add any officers and directors designated by Parent, such replacements and additions to become effective immediately at Closing,

(vi) cause the execution of any certificates or other documents (other than customary authorization and representation letters) by any employee whose employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will terminate prior to or upon Closing, or

(vii) take any action pursuant to this Section 5.14 that would reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to a director or officer.

In addition, no action, liability or obligation of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument (other than customary authorization and representation letters) relating to the Financing will be required to be effective until the Effective Time.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, Parent will be permitted to disclose any information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to any Financing Parties or prospective Financing Parties (and, in each case, to their respective representatives) so long as such information is furnished by Parent subject to customary confidentiality undertakings or arrangements in connection with the Financing. The Company hereby consents to the use of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing,

provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is reasonable and customary for such purposes and that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective products, services, offerings or intellectual property rights.

(e) Parent shall promptly, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, but excluding the costs of the Company’s preparation of its annual and quarterly financial statements) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective representatives in connection with the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective representatives contemplated by Section 5.14(a), and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with any cooperation pursuant to Section 5.14(b) and any information used in connection therewith, except with respect to (i) any information provided in writing by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the Financing or (ii) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation, gross negligence or willful misconduct by any such persons or material breach by any such persons of their obligations under this Agreement.

(f) The Company shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to deliver all notices and take other actions required to facilitate the termination of commitments under the Company Credit Agreements, repayment in full of all obligations under the Company Credit Agreements and release of any Liens and guarantees in connection therewith on the Closing Date. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, furnish to Parent, no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, customary payoff letters with respect to each of the Company Credit Agreements (the “Payoff Letters”) in substantially final form and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent from all financial institutions and other Persons to which Indebtedness under the Company Credit Agreements are owed, or the applicable agent, trustee or other representative on behalf of all such Persons, each of which Payoff Letter shall (x) indicate the total amount required to be paid under the applicable Company Credit Agreement to fully satisfy all principal, interest, prepayment premiums, penalties, breakage costs or other outstanding and unpaid obligations related to such Indebtedness and other obligations as of the Closing Date (each such amount, a “Payoff Amount”) and (y) state that all obligations (including guarantees) in respect thereof and Liens in connection therewith on the equity interests in and assets of the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company shall, substantially concurrently with the receipt of the applicable Payoff Amount on the Closing Date by the Persons holding such Indebtedness or other obligations, be released and terminated, or arrangements satisfactory to Parent for such release shall have been made by such time, subject, as applicable, to the replacement (or cash collateralization or backstopping) of any then outstanding letters of credit thereunder.

5.15 Specified Interest Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the Closing: the Company shall cause the Specified Interests to be divested through any combination of (a) sales of such equity interests (or of equity interests in a legal entity formed to hold, and that solely holds, the Specified Interests (such entity, a “Newco” and any such sales, taken together, the

“Specified Interest Sale”)) and a distribution of the Specified Interest Proceeds to the Common Stockholders, and (b) a distribution of such equity interests (or of equity interests in Newco) to the Common Stockholders; provided, that any distribution to the Common Stockholders described in clause (a) or (b) (such distribution, the “Specified Interest Redemption”) shall occur immediately prior to and shall be conditioned upon the Closing. The Company shall, after review and comment by Parent (which comments shall be considered in good faith to the extent reasonable), be permitted take all actions with respect to the Options, Performance Unit Awards and RSU Awards that it determines in its discretion are necessary or appropriate under the Xxxxxxxx Stock Plans to take into account the Specified Interest Redemption. To the extent the Company distributes to the Common Stockholders or sells or otherwise disposes of (other than pursuant to a Independent Sale of Specified Interests) the Specified Interests or equity interests in Newco (such equity interests, the “Subject Equity Interests”), the Company shall engage a nationally recognized, qualified, independent appraisal firm reasonably acceptable to Parent to determine, without duplication, the fair market value of such Subject Equity Interests as of the date of such distribution or sale or other disposition, as applicable. A written report prepared by such independent appraisal firm setting forth its determination of fair market value, which report and determination shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent (the aggregate fair market value of the Subject Equity Interests reflected in such report, the “Appraised Value”) shall be delivered to Parent at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date. The parties hereto intend that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Common Stockholders that receive any equity interests and/or any Specified Interest Proceeds, in each case, pursuant to the Specified Interest Redemption, will be treated as having (i) surrendered a portion of such Common Stockholders’ Common Stock in exchange for such equity interests and/or Specified Interest Proceeds in a redemption that qualifies for sale or exchange treatment under Section 302(b) of the Code and (ii) exchanged the remaining portion of such Common Stockholders’ Common Stock for the Per Share Merger Consideration. The parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, prepare and file all income Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Appraised Value and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.15 shall prevent the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates from settling, or require any of them to litigate any determination, assessment, or other claim by any Taxing Authority related to the Appraised Value (or to defend the Appraised Value in any litigation).

5.16 R&W Insurance Policy. Parent has bound coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy and the binder for such R&W Insurance Policy is attached hereto as Exhibit C. Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates shall not amend, waive or otherwise modify the subrogation provision under the R&W Insurance Policy in any manner that would allow the insurer thereunder to subrogate or otherwise make or bring any claim against the Company Equity Holders or the Stockholder Representative other than for Fraud. One half (1/2) of the R&W Insurance Expenses shall be deemed to be Transaction Expenses and one half (1/2) of the R&W Insurance Expenses shall be paid by Parent.

5.17 NYSE Listing. As promptly as practicable following the date hereof, Parent shall make an application to the New York Stock Exchange for the listing of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such shares of Parent Common Stock to be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance.

5.18 Registration Rights Agreement. Between the date hereof and Closing, Parent and certain Company Equity Holders shall cooperate in good faith to enter into a definitive registration rights agreement generally consistent with the terms attached hereto as Exhibit D.

ARTICLE VIII.
REMEDIES AND RELEASE

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument, document or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time, except for those covenants and agreements contained herein and therein which by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part after the Effective Time and then only to such extent until such covenants and agreements have been fully performed.

8.2 Release. Effective upon the Closing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and, in each case, each of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents, representatives, successors and assigns and the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, agents, representatives, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Releasing Parties”) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive and release any claims and causes of action that the Releasing Parties currently have or, in the future, may have against the Company Equity Holders or the Stockholder Representative or any Affiliates thereof and their respective officers, directors, employees, equityholders, partners, members, managers, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors or permitted assigns (collectively, and including the Company Equity Holders and the Stockholder Representative, the “Equity Holder Affiliates”), for any of such Person’s actions or omissions prior to the Closing, or otherwise in relation to or arising from the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective pre-Closing businesses, operations and properties, in such Person’s capacity as an Equity Holder Affiliate, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Equity Holder Affiliates shall not be released from any claim arising out of Fraud by an Equity Holder Affiliate or for any action or omission occurring after the Closing. Parent hereby acknowledges the release by the Releasing Parties set forth in the preceding sentence and covenants and agrees that it will honor such release and will not, and will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries not to, take any action inconsistent therewith (including commencing any Action with respect to, or directly or indirectly transferring to another Person, any released claims or causes of action).

8.3 Acknowledgement. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledge and agree that:

(a) the parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement and hereby waive any statutory and common law remedies with respect to matters relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(b) the provisions of and the limited remedies provided in this Article VIII were specifically bargained for among the parties and were taken into account by the parties in arriving at the Aggregate Consideration;

(c) after the Closing, no party or any its Affiliates may seek the rescission of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(d) the parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations, and the parties specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction; and

(e) this Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly and equally drafted by Parent and the Company, the provisions hereof should not be construed against a party on the grounds that the party drafted or was more responsible for drafting the provision, and the language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party hereto.

8.4 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by the parties. Prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, it is accordingly agreed that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, or any other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, in each case in accordance with this Section 8.4, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under the terms of this Agreement at law or in equity. Each party hereto accordingly agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such party under this Agreement all in accordance with this Section 8.4 on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Each party hereto further agrees that neither the other parties hereto nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.4, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. If any party hereto brings an Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by the other party, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended for so long as the party bringing such Action is actively seeking a court order for an injunction or any other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

(b) The Stockholder Representative requires that a portion of the Aggregate Base Cash Amount in an amount equal to the Representative Holdback Amount be withheld by (and deposited with) the Representative, on behalf of the Company Equity Holders, to satisfy potential future obligations of the Company Equity Holders; provided that the portion of the Representative Holdback Amount delivered to, and held by, the Stockholder Representative on behalf of each Company Equity Holder shall be determined by the Stockholder Representative. The Representative Holdback Amount shall be retained by the Stockholder Representative for such time as the Stockholder Representative shall determine in its sole discretion. Any remaining amounts from the Representative Holdback Amount allocable to the Common Stockholders shall be distributed by the Stockholder Representative to the Common Stockholders and the portion of the remaining amount of the Representative Holdback Amount allocable to the holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and Vested RSU Awards shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Surviving Corporation, for payment to the holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and Vested RSU Awards; provided that the Stockholder Representative shall have delivered to the Surviving Corporation written instructions stating the portions of such amount to be paid to the holders of Options, Performance Unit Awards and Vested RSU Awards and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such written instruction by the Stockholder Representative and the method of distribution employed by the Stockholder Representative, including with respect to whether any individual Common Stockholder received the appropriate portion of any such distribution, and in no event will Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates have any liability to any person on account of such payments or distributions.

(c) In the event that the Stockholder Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Common Stockholders (or, if applicable, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns) who held a majority of the voting power represented by the Common Stock issued and outstanding

(f) All reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Company Equity Holders on a pro rata basis; provided that the Stockholder Representative shall first make payment of such fees and expenses from the Representative Holdback Amount and the Stockholder Representative shall be authorized to withhold from any distribution made to the Company Equity Holders from the Adjustment Escrow Amount any amounts reasonably anticipated to be necessary to pay for such reasonable fees and expenses in excess of the Representative Holdback Amount.

10.17 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representations; Non-Assertion of Attorney‑Client Privilege.

(a) Conflicts of Interest. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP (“Prior Counsel”) has, on or prior to the Closing Date, represented one or more of the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries, the Company Equity Holders

102

and the Stockholder Representative, and their respective officers, employees and directors (each such Person, other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, a “Designated Person”) with respect to this Agreement and the other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or such other agreements or in connection with such transactions) (each, an “Existing Representation”), and that, in the event of any post-Closing matters (x) relating to this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or such other agreements or in connection with such transactions) and (y) in which Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and one or more Designated Persons, on the other hand, are or may be adverse to each other (each, a “Post-Closing Matters”), the Designated Persons reasonably anticipate that Prior Counsel will represent them in connection with such matters. Accordingly, each of Parent and the Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) hereby (i) waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation by Prior Counsel of one or more Designated Persons in connection with one or more Post-Closing Matters (the “Post‑Closing Representations”), and (ii) agrees that, in the event that a Post-Closing Matter arises, Prior Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in such Post-Closing Matter even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries), and even though Prior Counsel may have represented the Company or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (each on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) consents to the disclosure by Prior Counsel, in connection with one or more Post-Closing Representations, to the Designated Persons of any information learned by Prior Counsel in the course of one or more Existing Representations, whether or not such information is subject to the attorney-client privilege (or other privilege or protections) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Prior Counsel’s duty of confidentiality as to the Company and its Subsidiaries and whether or not such disclosure is made before or after the Closing.

(b) Attorney-Client Privilege. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or expectation of client confidence with respect to any communication prior to the Closing between Prior Counsel, on the one hand, and any Designated Person or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Pre‑Closing Designated Persons”) on the other hand, or any advice given to any Pre-Closing Designated Person by Prior Counsel, in each case occurring during the Existing Representations (collectively, “Pre‑Closing Privileges”) in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute between any Designated Person and one or more of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and their respective Affiliates, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all rights to such Pre-Closing Privileges, and all rights to waiver or otherwise control such Pre-Closing Privilege, shall be retained by the Company Equity Holders and the Stockholder Representative, and shall not pass to or be claimed or used by Parent or the Company, except as expressly provided in

103

the last sentence of this Section ‎10.17(b). Furthermore, each of Parent and the Company (each on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) acknowledges and agrees that any advice given to or communication with any of the Designated Persons shall not be subject to any joint privilege (whether or not the Company also received such advice or communication) and shall be owned solely by such Designated Persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that a dispute arises between Parent or the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and a third party other than a Designated Person, on the other hand, the Surviving Corporation may assert the Pre-Closing Privileges on behalf of the Designated Persons to prevent disclosure of any materials subject to the Pre-Closing Privileges (including any books and records and other documents of the Company containing any advice or communication that is subject to any Pre-Closing Privilege) to such third party and (ii) the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.17 shall not extend to any communication or materials not involving the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any claims brought in connection with such transactions or this Agreement.
