(i) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Company (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Disregarded Shares and Dissenting Shares) (“Eligible Shares”) shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (such shares, collectively, the “Parent Common Stock” and, each, a “Parent Share”) equal to the quotient of (i) the Aggregate Merger Consideration divided by (ii) the Company Fully Diluted Shares (the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration payable per share of Company Common Stock, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all Eligible Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall cease to exist, and shall be cancelled and thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and the right to receive any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 3.4(c), in each case, to be issued or paid in accordance with Section 3.4, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law. In no event will Parent issue more shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3.2 and Section 3.5 than the Aggregate Merger Consideration.

(ii) Company and Parent-Owned Company Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock owned by Company, Merger Sub, Parent or any direct or indirect, wholly owned Subsidiary of Company or Parent (“Disregarded Shares”), in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall cease to be outstanding, shall cease to exist and shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof, and no consideration shall be paid with respect thereto.

(iii) Conversion of Merger Sub Shares. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Shares”).

(b) At the Second Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any Parent Party, the Surviving Corporation, Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(i) LLC Sub Membership Interests. The membership interests of LLC Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall constitute the only outstanding membership interests of the Surviving Company immediately following the Second Merger Effective Time (the “LLC Sub Membership Interests”).

(ii) Capital Stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist at the Second Merger Effective Time, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor or cancellation thereof. Each holder of a share of Surviving Corporation Shares that was outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

(c) Exchange of Certificates. Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Certificates” or “Certificates”, and the shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry, the “Company Book-Entry Shares” or “Book-Entry Shares”) shall be exchanged in accordance with Section 3.4.

(d) Fully Diluted Shares Certificates.

(i) Parent will prepare and deliver to Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of Parent in a form reasonably acceptable to Company, setting forth, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, a detailed report containing all data necessary to calculate the Parent Fully Diluted Shares (the “Parent Fully Diluted Shares Certificate”).

Section 3.3 Dissenters’ Rights. Except as otherwise waived pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a stockholder who did not vote in favor of the First Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (the “Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive such stockholder’s portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, but instead such holder shall be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost its right to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, each of such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as an Eligible Share, as of the Effective Time in accordance with Section 3.2(a)(i). Company shall give Parent prompt notice and a copy of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by Company relating to Company Stockholders’ rights of appraisal. Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(a) Deposit of Aggregate Merger Consideration. Parent shall prior to the Effective Time, deposit, or cause to be deposited, with a U.S. bank or trust company that shall be appointed by Parent and reasonably acceptable to Company to act as an exchange agent hereunder (the “Exchange Agent”), in trust for the benefit of the Company Stockholders and other Persons entitled to receive part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration hereunder, (i) evidence of shares in book-entry form representing shares of Parent Common Stock comprising the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration to be issued pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i), (ii) cash in dollars of immediately available funds sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.4(d) and (iii) as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions payable on such shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.4(c). Such evidence of book-entry form representing shares of Parent Common Stock and such cash so deposited, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, are hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) Exchange Procedures; Fractional Shares.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, cause the Exchange Agent to mail or otherwise make available to each holder of record, as of the Effective Time, of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Equity Awards (other than Continuing RSUs) (such holders, the “Former Company Holders”, and such shares, the “Former Company Shares”): (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates held by such holder representing such Former Company Shares, shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Company Certificate(s) or Company Book-Entry Share(s) to the Exchange Agent) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Company Certificate(s) or Company Book-Entry Share(s) in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration therefor. Such letter of transmittal shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and Company may mutually agree prior to the Closing.

(ii) Each Former Company Holder who surrenders to the Exchange Agent Company Certificate(s) or Company Book-Entry Share(s), as applicable, together with a letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor: (A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, into which such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s properly surrendered Company Certificates or Company Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, were converted in accordance with Section 3.2(a)(i), and such Company Certificates or Company Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled, and (B) a check in an amount of U.S. dollars equal to (I) the amount of cash in lieu of fractional interests in shares of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 3.4(d), plus (II) any cash dividends or other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.4(c). Each Former Company Holder who holds a Company Equity Award (other than a Continuing RSU) and submits a letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor: (A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, that such holder is entitled to pursuant to Section 3.5, and (B) a check in an amount of U.S. dollars equal to (I) the amount of cash in lieu of fractional interests in shares of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 3.4(d), plus (II) any cash dividends or other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.4(c).

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the First Merger shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and no cash payment in respect of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 3.4(d), until those Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are surrendered as provided in this Article III. Upon surrender, there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of surrender, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to those shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date on or after the date of the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of such surrender and not previously paid and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to those shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date on or after the date of the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to such surrender.

(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the First Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Fractional share interests shall not entitle the holder thereof to vote or to any other rights of a Parent Stockholder or otherwise other than the right to receive cash as set forth in this Section 3.4. In lieu of the issuance of any fractional share, each Company Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional shares shall be entitled to an amount in cash in dollars, without interest, rounded to the nearest cent, equal to the product of (i) the fractional share interest to which such holder (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held at the Effective Time) would otherwise be entitled and (ii) the Average Parent Stock Price. The payment of cash in lieu of fractional share interests pursuant to this Section 3.4 is not a separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding-off of the fractions in the conversion of securities in connection with the First Merger. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash to be paid to such holders of Company Common Stock with respect to any fractional share interests in shares of Parent Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall promptly pay such amounts, without interest, subject to customary rounding, to such holders of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive such cash subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.4.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed on the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand by Parent, and any Company Stockholders or other relevant Persons who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter (except to the extent representing Disregarded Shares or Dissenting Shares) look only to Parent for payment of their claim for any part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock.

(f) No Liability. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of Parent, Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, Merger Sub or LLC Sub shall be liable to any holder of Company Common Stock or any other Person entitled to receive part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration for cash or Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(g) Closing of Transfer Books. The Parent Common Stock issued and cash paid pursuant to this Article III upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Company of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding, respectively, immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Parent, Company or the Exchange Agent for transfer or any other reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged pursuant to this Article III.

(h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the case of any Certificate that has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit reasonably acceptable to Parent of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in a customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will pay and deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Per Share Merger Consideration for each Eligible Share represented thereby, any cash in respect of fractional shares and any dividends or distributions on the Certificate had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered as provided in this Article III.

Section 3.5 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall, as of the Effective Time, become vested, be cancelled and be converted into the right to receive, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (x) the Company Option Cash Equivalent divided by (y) the Average Parent Stock Price (rounded up to the nearest whole cent), reduced by the number of shares of Parent Common Stock required to be deducted to satisfy applicable withholding and similar taxes arising in connection with the treatment under this Section 3.5 (provided that any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be treated as set forth in Section 3.4(d)) (the “Aggregate Net Option Shares”).

(b) Each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, and set forth on Section 3.5(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (each a “Continuing RSU” and collectively the “Continuing RSUs”) will be either be: (i) if the Parent Stockholders approve the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan at the Parent Meeting, cancelled and the holder of such Continuing RSU shall be entitled to receive, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, in, substitution for, and full satisfaction of, the rights of such holder with respect thereto, a restricted stock unit representing the opportunity to be issued shares of Parent Common Stock granted under, and in accordance with, the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (each, a “Substitute RSU”), which Substitute RSU shall (A) provide the holder with the opportunity to be issued that whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Continuing RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein or in the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan to the contrary, the substitution of the Substitute RSUs for the Continuing RSUs will be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and (B) be subject to vesting over the same time period as was applicable under the respective Continuing RSUs with such remaining vesting term being applied proportionately to the Substitute RSUs and will otherwise be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (including settlement related provisions) and restricted stock unit award agreements for the Substitute RSUs (with terms and conditions substantially similar to 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the applicable restricted stock unit award agreements under which the Continuing RSUs were originally granted); or (ii) if the Parent Stockholders do not approve the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan at the Parent Meeting, assumed by Parent (the “Assumed RSUs”) and, in such case, each Assumed RSU assumed by Parent will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such Continuing RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, including vesting restrictions, except for administrative

changes that are not adverse to the holder of the Assumed RSU and except that (A) each Continuing RSU shall cover a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be issuable under the Continuing RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock and (B) all references to the “Company” in the Company Equity Plan and restricted stock unit agreements will be references to Parent.

(c) Each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, and is not a Continuing RSU will not be assumed by Parent, but will instead be converted into the right to receive, in exchange for the cancellation of such Company RSU (or portion thereof), that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, reduced by the number of shares of Company Common Stock required to be deducted to satisfy applicable withholding and similar taxes arising in connection with the treatment under this Section 3.5(c) and (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Aggregate Net RSU Shares”) (provided that any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be treated as set forth in Section 3.4(d)).

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Company, as applicable, will adopt such resolutions of the Parent Board or Company Board (or any appropriate committee thereof) as are required to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 3.5. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each holder of a Continuing RSU an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant thereto. Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon settlement of Continuing RSUs pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 3.5. In the event that the Parent Stockholders do not approve the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan at the Parent Meeting, as of the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the obligations and succeed to the rights of the Company under the Company Equity Plan. As soon as practicable (but in no event more than twenty (20) Business Days) after the Effective Time, the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Continuing RSUs shall be covered by an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) or another appropriate form, and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements for so long as the Continuing RSUs remain outstanding. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Parent Stockholders approve the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan at the Parent Meeting and Substitute RSUs are issued under the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan pursuant to Section 3.5(b), the Substitute RSUs shall be in addition to and will not reduce the share reserve under the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Section 3.6 Withholding. Each of Parent, the Exchange Agent, Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Company, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as each is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the Treasury Regulations, or any applicable provision of U.S. state or local tax law or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the relevant party.

Section 3.7 Adjustments. If, after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, either (i) Parent pays a dividend in, splits, combines into a smaller number of shares, or issues by reclassification any share of Parent Common Stock, or (ii) Company pays a distribution in, splits, combines into a smaller number of shares, or issues by reclassification any shares of Company Common Stock, then the Per Share Merger Consideration and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action, and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Per Share Merger Consideration or other dependent item, as applicable, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this sentence.

Section 3.8 Intended Tax Treatment. The relevant parties will (a) file and retain such information as will be required under Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3 and (b) file all Tax Returns consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar U.S. state, local or non-U.S. Law) or a change in applicable Law. Each of the parties agrees to use its respective reasonable best efforts (i) to promptly notify the other parties of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Entity, and (ii) to provide such information as their relevant equityholders who qualify as “significant holders” may require to file a statement with their U.S. federal income tax return in accordance with Section 1.368-3(b) of the Treasury Regulations. None of the parties or their respective Affiliates will knowingly take or knowingly cause to be taken, or knowingly fail to take or knowingly cause to be failed to be taken, any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent qualification for such Intended Tax Treatment. In the event that the Mergers, taken together, would reasonably be likely to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, the parties agree (x) to cooperate in good faith to explore such modifications to the structure or alternative structures as would permit the Mergers to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment and (y) to the extent the parties agree to pursue any such modification or alternative structure in the exercise of their reasonable discretion, the parties will enter into an appropriate amendment to this Agreement to reflect such modification or alternative structure; provided, however, that any actions taken pursuant to this Section 3.8 will not prevent, delay or impede the Closing or impose any unreimbursed cost on any party without the consent of such party.

Parent’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of Parent’s internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act for the year ended December 31, 2023, and such assessment concluded that such controls were effective and did not identify any (A) “significant deficiency” or “material weakness” in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15, as applicable, of the Exchange Act) or (B) fraud or allegation of fraud that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting. Such internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Parent’s system of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) is reasonably sufficient in all material respects to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financing reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP (including (i) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, (ii) that receipts and expenditures are executed in accordance with the authorization of management and (iii) prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Parent’s assets that would materially affect Parent’s financial statements).

Section 6.4 Access.

(a) Subject to compliance with applicable Laws (including any Public Health Measures) and solely for purposes related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party shall afford to the other party and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the Termination Date, to such party’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers, employees, properties, assets, equipment, inventory, operating sites, Contracts, commitments, books and records, other than any such matters that relate to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, a party shall not be required to afford such access if it would unreasonably disrupt the operations of such party or any of its Subsidiaries, would cause a violation of any agreement to which such party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, would, in the reasonable judgment of such party, result in a loss of privilege or trade secret protection to such party or any of its Subsidiaries or would constitute a violation of any applicable Laws, including any Public Health Measures (provided, that in each case such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access in a way that would not have any of the foregoing effects). Subject to the foregoing restrictions, each party shall be permitted to conduct reasonable inspections, assessments and testing of the other party’s properties, assets, equipment, inventory and operating sites; provided, however, that nothing herein shall authorize any party or its Representative to undertake any testing involving invasive techniques, including testing involving sampling of soil, sediment, groundwater, surface water, air or building materials, at any of the other party’s or its Subsidiary’s properties, without the prior written consent of such other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld.

Section 6.5 No Solicitation by Company. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time (or, if earlier, the termination and abandonment of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII), Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and Company shall instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any inquiries, announcements or communications relating to, or the making or submission of any proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Alternative Proposal from any Persons, (ii) enter into, participate in, maintain or continue any discussions or negotiations with any Persons with respect to Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with a Company Alternative Proposal (other than, solely in response to an unsolicited inquiry, to refer the inquiring person to this Section 6.5 and to limit its conversation or other communication exclusively to such referral), (iii) furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or take any other action intended or reasonably expected to facilitate the making of any inquiry or proposal to Company that constitutes, or would reasonably expected to lead to, any Company Alternative Proposal by any Person, or (iv) accept any Company Alternative Proposal or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) providing for the consummation of any transaction contemplated by any Company Alternative Proposal or otherwise relating to any Company Alternative Proposal.

in connection with a Company Alternative Proposal, and destroy all analyses and other materials prepared by or on behalf of such Person that contain, reflect or analyze such information, in each case in accordance with the applicable confidentiality agreement between Company and such Person. In addition, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, or, if earlier, the termination and abandonment of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (A) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any Takeover Law or release under any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement (or terminate or fail to enforce such agreement), (B) submit any Company Alternative Proposal or any matter related thereto to a vote of the Company Stockholders, or (C) accept, authorize, cause or permit Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, business combination agreement or any other similar agreement providing for the consummation of any transaction contemplated by any Company Alternative Proposal or otherwise relating to any Company Alternative Proposal.

Section 6.6 No Solicitation by Parent.

(a) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.6, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time (or, if earlier, the termination and abandonment of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII), Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not, and Parent shall instruct and use its best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any inquiries, announcements or communications relating to, or the making or submission of any proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Parent Alternative Proposal from any Persons, (ii) enter into, participate in, maintain or continue any discussions or negotiations with any Persons with respect to Parent or its Subsidiaries in connection with a Parent Alternative Proposal, (iii) furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or take any other action intended or reasonably expected to facilitate the making of any inquiry or proposal to Parent that constitutes, or would reasonably expected to lead to, any Parent Alternative Proposal by any Person, or (iv) accept any Parent Alternative Proposal or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) providing for the consummation of any transaction contemplated by any Parent Alternative Proposal or otherwise relating to any Parent Alternative Proposal, including, without limitation, any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract relating thereto, or any agreement or agreement in principle requiring Parent to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Within five (5) Business Days following the date hereof, Parent shall request that any Person (other than Company) and its Representatives promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning Parent and its Subsidiaries theretofore furnished thereto by or on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with a Parent Alternative Proposal, and destroy all analyses and other materials prepared by or on behalf of such Person that contain, reflect or analyze such information, in each case in accordance with the applicable confidentiality agreement between Parent and such Person. In addition, except as expressly permitted under this Section 6.6, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, or, if earlier, the termination and abandonment of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (A) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any Takeover Law or release under any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement (or terminate or fail to enforce such agreement) unless the Parent Board determines in

good faith that a failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and then solely to the extent necessary to allow such Person to make and pursue a Parent Alternative Proposal, (B) submit any Parent Alternative Proposal or any matter related thereto to a vote of Parent Stockholders, (C) effect a Parent Change of Recommendation or (D) accept, authorize, cause or permit Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, business combination agreement or any other similar agreement providing for the consummation of any transaction contemplated by any Parent Alternative Proposal or otherwise relating to any Parent Alternative Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (a “Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.6, if Parent receives a written Parent Alternative Proposal from any Person at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the time the Parent Stockholder Approval is obtained (provided that there has not been any material breach of the restrictions in this Section 6.6 with respect to the making of such Parent Alternative Proposal), Parent and its Representatives may contact such Person solely to clarify the terms and conditions thereof in compliance with this Section 6.6, and (i) Parent and its Representatives may provide information (including non-public information and data) regarding, and afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records and personnel of, Parent and its Subsidiaries to such Person if Parent receives from such Person (or has received from such Person) an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that, subject to applicable Law, Parent shall substantially contemporaneously therewith make available to Company any non-public information concerning Parent or its Subsidiaries that is provided to any Person given such access that was not previously made available to Company, and (ii) Parent and its Representatives may engage in, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with such Person with respect to such Parent Alternative Proposal, if and only to the extent that, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Parent Board or relevant committee thereof determines in good faith (after consultation with Xxxxxx’s outside counsel) that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (after consultation with Parent’s outside counsel and financial advisor) such Parent Alternative Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Parent Superior Proposal and provides Company with written notice of such determination.

(c) Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted prior to or on the date of this Agreement with respect to any Parent Alternative Proposal or material modification thereto, and shall (i) promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours of any such event) notify Company of its entry into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and the receipt of any Parent Alternative Proposal or any material amendment thereto, (ii) promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of a Parent Alternative Proposal or material amendment thereto) provide with respect to any Parent Alternative Proposal or material amendment thereto, a written summary of the material terms and conditions of each such Parent Alternative Proposal or such material amendment thereto, including in such summary the identity of the Person making such Parent Alternative Proposal, and (iii) shall keep Company informed in reasonable detail, on a current basis, of any material developments or modifications to the terms of any such Parent Alternative Proposal or amendment thereto and the status of any discussions or negotiations relating to such material developments or modifications.

(d) Except as set forth in this Section 6.6(d), neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Company, the Parent Recommendation, (B) fail to include the Parent Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, (C) approve, adopt, endorse or recommend to Parent Stockholders, or publicly propose to approve, adopt, endorse or recommend to Parent Stockholders, a Parent Alternative Proposal or Parent Superior Proposal, or (D) if a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of capital stock of Parent that constitutes a Parent Alternative Proposal is commenced, fail to recommend against, or recommend, the acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by Parent Stockholders within ten (10) Business Days after commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer (provided that making any “stop, look and listen” communication to Parent Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to Parent Stockholders) shall not be prohibited) (any of the foregoing, a “Parent Change of Recommendation”) or (ii) cause or permit Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the time the Parent Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Parent Board may (I) effect a Parent Change of Recommendation if the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with Parent’s outside counsel) that, as a result of any event, change, development or circumstance that materially affects the business, assets of operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (other than any event, change, development or circumstance resulting from a material breach of this Agreement by any Parent Party) that was not known to or, if known, the consequences of which were not reasonably foreseeable by, the Parent Board as of or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (a “Parent Intervening Event”; provided, that in no event shall any event, change, development or circumstance resulting from or relating to any of the following give rise to a Parent Intervening Event: (i) the receipt, existence or terms of a Parent Alternative Proposal; (ii) the public announcement, execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the identity of Company or the public announcement, pendency or consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby (or the public announcement of any discussions among the parties related thereto); (iii) any change in the trading price or trading volume of the Parent Common Stock (although for purposes of clarity, any underlying events or circumstances, with respect to this clause (iii) relating to or causing such change may be considered, along with the effects or consequences thereof); (iv) any action taken by either party pursuant to the affirmative covenants set forth in Section 6.10, or the consequences of any such action, (v) the fact that, in and of itself, Parent or any of its respective Subsidiaries meets, fails to meet or exceeds any internal or published projections, forecasts, estimates or predictions in respect of revenues, earnings or other financial or operating metrics for any period (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise to or contributing to such event may be taken into account in determining whether there has been, or will be, a Parent Intervening Event to the extent not otherwise excluded hereunder), or (vi) any change in general economic or political conditions or the securities, credit or financial markets (including changes in interest or exchange rates)), failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law (taking into account any adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Mergers proposed by Company in response to such Parent Intervening Event), and (II) if Parent receives a Parent Alternative Proposal (provided that there has not been any material breach of the restrictions in this Section 6.6 in connection with the making of such Parent Alternative Proposal) that the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with Xxxxxx’s outside counsel and financial

advisor) constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal (taking into account any adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Mergers proposed by Company in response to such Parent Alternative Proposal), and (after consultation with Parent’s outside counsel) failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, effect a Parent Change of Recommendation and/or cause or permit Parent to enter into a Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Parent Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(ii); provided, however, the Parent Board may take the actions described in clause (I) or (II) if and only if:

(1) Parent shall have provided prior written notice to Company of the Parent Board’s intention to take such actions at least five (5) Business Days in advance of taking such action, which notice shall specify, as applicable, a reasonably detailed description of such Parent Intervening Event or the material terms of the Parent Alternative Proposal received by Parent that constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal, including the identity of the party making the Parent Alternative Proposal, a copy of such written Parent Alternative Proposal or amendment thereto and any other written terms, documents or proposals provided to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Parent Alternative Proposal and, with respect to any Parent Alternative Proposal or amendment thereto not made in writing, a written summary of the material terms and conditions of each such Parent Alternative Proposal or such amendment thereto;

(2) after providing such notice and prior to taking such actions, Parent shall have negotiated, and shall have caused its Representatives to negotiate, with Company in good faith (to the extent Company desires to negotiate) during such five (5) Business Day period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit the Parent Board not to take such actions; and

(3) the Parent Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement that may be offered in writing by Company by 11:59 p.m. central time on the fifth (5th) Business Day of such five (5) Business Day period and shall have determined in good faith (A) with respect to the actions described in clause (I) above, after consultation with outside counsel, that it would continue to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law not to effect the Parent Change of Recommendation, and (B) with respect to the actions described in clause (II) above, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and, after consultation with Xxxxxx’s outside counsel and financial advisor, the Parent Alternative Proposal received by Parent would continue to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal, in each case, if such changes offered in writing by Company were given effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree (x) that in the event that, after commencement of the five (5) Business Day period referred to above, there is any material revision to the terms of a Parent Superior Proposal, including any revision in price, or any material change to the facts and circumstances related to a Parent Intervening Event, such period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remain in such period subsequent to the time Parent notifies Company of any such material revision or change and (y) that there may be multiple extensions of such period.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 shall be deemed to prohibit Parent, the Parent Board or any committee of the Parent Board from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal securities Law, determined in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel), with regard to a Parent Alternative Proposal, including taking and disclosing to Parent Stockholders a position contemplated by, as applicable, Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to Parent Stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer), or making any “stop, look and listen” communication to Parent Stockholders (or any similar communications to Parent Stockholders) or (ii) making any disclosure if the Parent Board determines in good faith after consultation with Parent’s outside counsel that failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall effect a Parent Change of Recommendation unless the applicable requirements of Section 6.6(d) shall have been satisfied.

(f) Parent agrees that any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 6.6 by any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, or by any of Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives acting through, or at the direction of, senior management of such Representative or acting at the direction of Parent shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.6 by Parent.

Section 6.7 Proxy Statement/Prospectus; Registration Statement.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall prepare (with Company’s reasonable cooperation) and shall file with the SEC the Registration Statement, in which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be included. Each of Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus comply as to form in all material respects with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Subject to Section 6.7(d), unless the Parent Board has made a Parent Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.6, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall include the Parent Recommendation. Prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, Parent shall provide Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents, and Parent will consider, in good faith, incorporating any such comments of Company and/or its counsel prior to such filing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing (including by responding to comments of the SEC) and (ii) cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to Parent Stockholders as promptly as practicable thereafter.

(b) Each of Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning such Person and its Affiliates to the other, and provide such other assistance, as may be reasonably requested by such other party to be included therein and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Registration Statement and the resolution of any comments to either of the foregoing documents received from the SEC. If at any time prior to the receipt of the Parent Stockholder Approval, any information relating to Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by Company or Parent which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus so that either such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and (i) an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC, and (ii) with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to Parent Stockholders.

(c) The parties shall notify each other promptly of the receipt of any comments, whether written or oral, from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement or for additional information and shall (A) supply each other with copies of (i) all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement and (ii) all stop orders of the SEC relating to the Registration Statement and (B) provide each other with a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response to those comments and requests.

(d) No amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement will be made by a party without the approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that Parent, in connection with a Parent Change of Recommendation made in compliance with the terms hereof, may amend or supplement the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (including by incorporation by reference) pursuant to an amendment or supplement (including by incorporation by reference) to the extent it contains (x) a Parent Change of Recommendation, (y) a statement of the reason of the board for making such a Parent Change of Recommendation, and (z) additional information reasonably related to the foregoing.

Section 6.12 Public Announcements. Neither Company nor Parent, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without first providing the other party the opportunity to review and comment upon such release or announcement, unless such party determines in good faith that it is required by applicable Law or by any listing agreement with or the listing rules of a national securities exchange or trading market to issue or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in which event such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide an opportunity for the other party to review and comment upon such press release or other announcement prior to making any such press release or other announcement; provided each party and its respective Affiliates may make statements that are substantially similar to previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Parent and Company in compliance with this Section 6.12.

Section 6.13 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to, each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against all losses,

claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement of or in connection with any claim, Action, suit, proceeding or investigation based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of Company or any Subsidiary of Company, and pertaining to any matter existing or occurring, or any acts or omissions occurring, at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Effective Time (including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby).

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Company (provided that the Surviving Company may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by Company prior to the date of this Agreement in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant to this Agreement, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. Company may (or, if requested by Parent, shall) purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six (6) year prepaid “tail” policy on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Company with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for a maximum cost of 300% of the last annual premium paid by Company prior to the date of this Agreement in respect of the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Company, which prepaid “tail” policy shall include as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. If such “tail” prepaid policy has been obtained by Company prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Company, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for insurance hereunder.

(c) All rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions under Company’s (or any Subsidiary of Company’s) certificate of incorporation, limited liability company agreement, bylaws, other organizational documents or indemnification Contracts or undertakings existing in favor of those Persons who are, or were, directors and officers of Company (or any Subsidiary of Company) at or prior to the date of this Agreement shall survive the Mergers. Without limiting the foregoing, the organizational documents of Surviving Company (or any Subsidiary of Surviving Company), from and after the Effective Time, shall contain provisions no less favorable to the Company Indemnified Parties with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification that are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the certificate of incorporation, limited liability company agreement, bylaws and other organizational documents of Company (or any Subsidiary of Company), which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Company

Indemnified Parties. In addition, from the Effective Time, Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause Surviving Company to, without requiring a preliminary determination of entitlement to indemnification, advance any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any Company Indemnified Party under this Section 6.13 (including in connection with enforcing the indemnity and other obligations referred to in this Section 6.13) as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided that any Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final adjudication that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

(d) If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent shall assume or cause Surviving Company to continue to be bound by the obligations set forth in this Section 6.13. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to Company or any of their Subsidiaries or their respective officers and directors, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.13 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any claims under any such policies.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.13 (i) shall survive the consummation of the Mergers and continue in full force and effect, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by a Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise.

Section 6.14 Stockholder Litigation. In the event that any litigation or other Action of any Company Stockholder or Parent Stockholder related to this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement is initiated or pending, or, to the Knowledge of the applicable party, threatened in writing, against any party or its Subsidiaries and/or the members of the board of directors of such party (or of any equivalent governing body of any Subsidiary of such party) prior to the Effective Time (or earlier termination of this Agreement), such party shall promptly notify the other party of any such stockholder or Action by a Company Stockholder or Parent Stockholder, give the other party the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such Action, and shall keep the other party reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. No settlement of any such stockholder or Action by a Company Stockholder or Parent Stockholder shall be agreed to without the other party’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Section 6.15 Financing Matters.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the parties shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, cooperate with one another as reasonably requested by any other party hereto in connection with obtaining or refinancing any debt financing of Parent, Company or their Affiliates, including by using reasonable best efforts to (i) furnish financial and other pertinent information of Parent, Company or their Subsidiaries necessary to show the pro

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.15(a), nothing in this Section 6.15 shall require any such cooperation to the extent that it would (i) require the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives, as applicable, to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, (ii) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of such party or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) require a party or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that will conflict with or violate the organizational documents of such party or any Laws or result in the contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Parent Material Contract or Company Material Contract, as the case may be, or (iv) require a party or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into or approve any financing, pledge, security or similar agreement in connection with the foregoing prior to the Effective Time.

Section 6.16 Approval of Merger Sub. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties, Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall adopt this Agreement and approve the Mergers, in accordance with applicable Law, by written consent.

Section 6.18 Special Cash Dividend . Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall declare a cash dividend (the “Company Closing Cash Dividend”) to the holders of Company Common Stock as of a record date on or prior to the Closing Date, which, in the aggregate shall not exceed an amount equal to $75,000,000, subject to funds being legally available therefor; provided that the payment of the Company Closing Cash Dividend may be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing. Company shall announce, declare and pay (or cause to be paid) the Company Closing Cash Dividend in compliance with all applicable Law.

Section 6.19 Drag-Along Notice . Prior to the Closing, at the direction of the Consenting Stockholders, Company will deliver a Drag-Along Notice (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) to each Company Stockholder (other than the Consenting Stockholders) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the Stockholders Agreement.

Section 6.20 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the surviving entities of the Mergers with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of either of the constituent corporations or the constituent limited liability company of the Mergers, as applicable, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement shall take all such necessary action. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub, LLC Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Company to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.

Following receipt by Company (or one or more of its designees) of the Parent Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 8.3(a), Parent shall have no further liability with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein to Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any other Person, other than in respect of Willful Breach of this Agreement or Fraud.

(b) Expenses. In the event this Agreement is terminated by Parent or Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) and the Parent Termination Fee is not otherwise payable by Parent pursuant to Section 8.3(a), then Parent shall pay to Company the Company Expenses within two (2) Business Days of such termination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Company.

(d) The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement. The parties agree that other than in respect of Willful Breach of this Agreement or Fraud (i) subject to Section 8.2, payment of the Company Expenses, the Parent Expenses or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, shall, in the circumstances in which it is owed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the receiving party following the termination of this Agreement and (ii) in no event will the receiving party or any other Person seek to recover any other money damages (other than the payment of the Company Expenses, the Parent Expenses or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable) or seek any other remedy based on a claim in law or equity with respect to, in each case of clause (i) and (ii), (A) any loss suffered, directly or indirectly, as a result of the failure of the Mergers to be consummated, (B) the termination of this Agreement, (C) any liabilities or obligations arising under this Agreement, or (D) any claims or actions arising out of or relating to any breach, termination or failure of or under this Agreement.

Section 9.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) In addition, each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party to this Agreement or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware, or, if both the Delaware Court of Chancery and the federal courts within the State of Delaware decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other state court within the State of Delaware, and, in each case, any appellate court therefrom. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts.

Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if such process is given as a notice in accordance with Section 9.7.

Section 9.5 Specific Enforcement.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement), the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages) to obtain (i) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement). Each party acknowledges and agrees that (A) each party is entitled to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement notwithstanding the availability of any monetary remedy, (B) the availability of any monetary remedy (1) does not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and (2) shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any party’s right to specific enforcement, and (C) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither Company, Parent, Merger Sub, nor LLC Sub would have entered into this Agreement.

(b) Each party further agrees that (i) no such party will oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity and (ii) no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 9.5, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Section 9.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the rights of holders of Company Common Stock or shares of Parent Common Stock as third-party beneficiaries pursuant to Section 9.10(b)(ii) be enforceable by such stockholders, respectively, or any other Person acting for or on their behalf other than Company or Parent, respectively, and such party’s successors in interest.

Section 9.10 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

(a) This Agreement (including the exhibits, annexes and schedules to this Agreement) and the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement other than (i) as specifically provided in Section 6.13 (which shall be for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties from and after the Effective Time) and Section 9.12 (which shall be for the benefit of the Persons named in the second sentence thereof); and (ii) solely from and after the Effective Time and subject to the consummation of the Mergers, the provisions of Article III with respect to holders of Company Common Stock (which, from and after the Effective Time, shall be for the benefit of holders of Company Common Stock as of the Effective Time).

Section 9.11 Amendments; Waivers.

(a) At any time prior to the Effective Time, any provision of this Agreement may be amended if, and only if, such amendment is in writing and signed by the parties hereto, provided, that if the Company Stockholder Approval or Parent Stockholder Approval has been obtained, then no such amendment may be made to this Agreement that requires further stockholder approval under applicable Law or in accordance with the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange without obtaining such further approval.

100

such party contained in this Agreement. Any agreement by a party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Section 9.12 Non-Recourse. Unless expressly agreed to otherwise by the parties in writing, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any action in connection with, arising out of or otherwise resulting from this Agreement, any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement may only be brought against the Persons expressly named as parties (or any of their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns) and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, employee (including any officer), incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, other equity holder or persons in a similar capacity, controlling person, Affiliate or other Representative of any party or of any Affiliate of any party, or any of their respective successors, Representatives and permitted assigns (unless, for the avoidance of doubt, such Person is a party), shall have any liability or other obligation for any obligation of any party under this Agreement or for any action in connection with, arising out of or otherwise resulting from this Agreement, any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.12 shall limit any liability or other obligation of the parties for breaches of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 9.13 Fulfillment of Obligations. Whenever this Agreement requires Merger Sub or LLC Sub to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause Merger Sub or LLC Sub, as applicable, to take such action.

DRIL-QUIP, INC.

Dril-Quip, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), hereby certifies as follows:

The Board of Directors duly adopted resolutions setting forth and declaring advisable the amendments set forth in this Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation and directed that the proposed amendments be considered by the stockholders of the Corporation. The proposed amendments set forth in this Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation were considered at the special meeting of stockholders duly called upon notice in accordance with Section 222 of the DGCL and held on [•], 2024, at which meeting the necessary number of shares were voted in favor of the proposed amendments set forth in this Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The stockholders of the Corporation duly adopted this Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL.

THIRD: The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended by deleting Article FIRST and replacing it with a new Article FIRST to read in its entirety as follows:

FIRST: The name of the Corporation is [Innovex, Inc.] (hereinafter the “Corporation”).

FOURTH: The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended by deleting the first paragraph of Article FOURTH and replacing it with a new first paragraph of Article FOURTH to read in its entirety as follows:

FOURTH: The aggregate number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is Two Hundred Ten Million (210,000,000), divided into Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”). Shares of any class of capital stock of the Corporation may be issued for such consideration and for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) may from time to time determine. Each share of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote.

FIFTH: The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended by deleting the first paragraph of clause (b) of Article FIFTH and replacing it with a new first paragraph of clause (b) of Article FIFTH to read in its entirety as follows:

(b) Number, Election and Terms of Directors. The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by a majority of the directors then in office, but shall not be less than three nor more than nine (and shall include the CEO Directorship (as defined below)), except to the extent necessary to satisfy the requirements of Delaware law or the New York Stock Exchange or such other stock exchange or interdealer quotation system designated as the primary market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted for trading. The directors, other than those that may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, shall be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III. Each director shall serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which such director’s term expires and, the foregoing notwithstanding, shall serve until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

For so long as Amberjack Capital Partners, L.P. or its successor (“Amberjack”) has the right to designate one or more individuals for nomination by the Corporation to the Board of Directors (the “Amberjack Designees”) pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of [•], 2024, by and among the Corporation, Amberjack and the other stockholders party thereto (as the same may be amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Stockholders Agreement”), it shall be a director qualification that one of the members of the Board of Directors shall be the person who is then serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation (such director, the “CEO Director” and such directorship, the “CEO Directorship”), it being understood that upon any person ceasing to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation such person shall cease to be qualified to serve as the CEO Director and shall automatically be removed from the CEO Directorship.

SIXTH: The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended by deleting clause (d) of Article FIFTH and replacing it with a new clause (d) to read in its entirety as follows:

(d) Vacancies. Except as provided in Article FOURTH hereof, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, disability, retirement, resignation, removal or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Amberjack has the right to designate at least one Amberjack Designee pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement and a vacancy is created by the death, disability, retirement, resignation, removal or other cause of any Amberjack Designee, such vacancy shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, with each Amberjack Designee then in office entitled to cast a number of votes (or fractions thereof) equal to a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all then serving members of the Board of Directors divided by the number of Amberjack Designees then in office; provided that if no Amberjack Designees are then in office, Amberjack shall have the right to fill such vacancy (i) at a meeting, special or otherwise, of the stockholders of the Corporation or (ii) by written consent, notwithstanding Article SIXTH of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

SEVENTH: The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended by deleting Article NINTH and replacing it with a new Article NINTH to read in its entirety as follows:

NINTH: (a) In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation, or adopt new Bylaws, without any action on the part of the stockholders, except as may be otherwise provided by applicable law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation.

(b) For so long as Amberjack has the right to designate at least one Amberjack Designee to the Board of Directors pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the Corporation shall not, by merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication, or continuance or otherwise, in addition to any other vote of stockholders that may be required by applicable law, without the prior written consent of Amberjack, (i) amend this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or its Bylaws in any manner that would disproportionately and adversely affect the rights of Amberjack, its Permitted Transferees or the Principal Stockholders (as each term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement), as a group, thereunder compared to other stockholders of the Corporation, (ii) amend clause (b) of Article FIFTH, clause (d) of Article FIFTH, clause (b) of Article NINTH, Article ELEVENTH or Article TWELFTH of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or

Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.14, 4.3, 7.1 or 7.9 or Article VI or Article VIII of the Bylaws, or (iii) form any new committee of the Board of Directors (including an executive committee) involving a material delegation of authority from the Board of Directors or amend the charter of any committee of the Board of Directors, in either case, in a manner that would disproportionately and adversely affect the rights of the Amberjack, its Permitted Transferees or the Principal Stockholders hereunder or pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement.

EIGHTH: The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended by adding a new Article ELEVENTH and Article TWELFTH to read in its entirety as follows:

ELEVENTH: No officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions shall not eliminate or limit the liability of an officer (i) for any breach of such officer’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for any transactions from which such officer derived an improper personal benefit, or (iv) in any action by or in the right of the Corporation.

Any repeal or modification of this Article ELEVENTH by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of an officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

TWELFTH: (a) In recognition and anticipation that (i) certain directors, principals, members, officers, associated funds, employees and/or other representatives of the Principal Stockholders and their respective Affiliates (as defined below) may serve as directors, officers or agents of the Corporation and (ii) the Principal Stockholders and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions of this Article TWELFTH are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve the Principal Stockholders or their respective Affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for (x) any director of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or officer of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (so long as such individual is not also an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) who is also a director, officer, employee, managing director, equity holder, representative or Affiliate of Amberjack or any Principal Stockholder and (y) Amberjack and each Principal Stockholder and any Affiliate of Amberjack or a Principal Stockholder (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries) (such Persons (as defined below) being referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons” and, individually, as an “Identified Person”) and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the Identified Persons shall have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (i) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (ii) otherwise competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates including, without limitation, (A) investing in, carrying on and conducting, whether directly, or as a partner in any partnership, or as a joint venturer in any joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, equityholder or investor in any Person, or as a participant in any syndicate, pool, trust or association, any business of any kind, nature or description, whether or not such business is competitive with or in the same or similar lines of business as the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, (B) doing business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the Corporation or its Affiliates, and/or (C) making investments in any

kind of property in which the Corporation or its subsidiaries may make investments, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities and the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify each Identified Person against any claim, that such Identified Person is liable to the Corporation or its stockholders (or any subsidiary or controlled Affiliate) for breach of any fiduciary duty or otherwise solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person (I) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for its own account or the account of any Affiliate or other Person, (II) directs, recommends, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers such corporate opportunity to another Person or (III) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity or offer such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, its subsidiaries or any controlled Affiliate. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, pay in advance any expenses incurred in defense of such claim as provided in this provision, except to the extent that an Identified Person is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a Delaware court having competent jurisdiction (or any other judgment which is not appealed in the applicable time) to have breached this Article TWELFTH, in which case any such advanced expenses shall be promptly reimbursed to the Corporation. In the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Corporation solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything in this clause (b) of this Article TWELFTH to the contrary, the Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Identified Persons if such opportunity is expressly offered in writing to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of this clause (b) of this Article TWELFTH shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

(c) In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article TWELFTH, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted, to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation or (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

(d) For purposes of this Article TWELFTH, (i) “Affiliate” shall mean (A) in respect of the Principal Stockholders, any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, is controlled by the Principal Stockholders, controls the Principal Stockholders, or is under common control with the Principal Stockholders, and shall include any principal, member, director, partner, stockholder, officer, employee or other representative of any of the foregoing (other than the Corporation and any Person that is controlled by the Corporation) and any Person that is deemed an affiliate of the Principal Stockholders under the Stockholders Agreement and (B) in respect of the Corporation, any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, is controlled by the Corporation; and (ii) “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, association, partnership, joint venture, trust, estate or other entity or organization.

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1

Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or was or is otherwise involved in, any action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, judicial, administrative or legislative hearing, or any other threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise, including any and all appeals, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, investigative or other nature (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or while a director or officer of the Corporation is or was serving at the request of the Corporation, in any capacity, with any corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such capacity, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, XXXXX excise taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators, and the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless in such manner any person designated by the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, as a person subject to this indemnification provision, and who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the fact that he, she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was serving at the request of the Board of Directors as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise whether such request is made before or after the acts taken or allegedly taken or events occurring or allegedly occurring which give rise to such proceeding, all on the terms and conditions set forth in these Bylaws; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law or provided in Section 6.3 with respect to suits to enforce rights under this Article VI, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such indemnitee (including claims and counterclaims, whether such counterclaims are asserted by: (i) such indemnitee; or (ii) the Corporation in a proceeding initiated by such indemnitee) only if such proceeding, or part thereof, was authorized by the Board of Directors.

6.2	Right to Advancement of Expenses.

(a)

In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 6.1, an indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that an advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article VI or otherwise.

6.3

Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a request for indemnification under Section 6.1 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days, or if a request for an advancement of expenses under Section 6.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 20 days, after a written request has been received by the Secretary of the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of such request. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in the DGCL but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under applicable law, this Article VI or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

6.4

Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, provisions of a certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or otherwise.

6.5

Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

6.6	Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, and to the extent authorized from time to time, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation.

6.7

Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article VI shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VI that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

6.8

Settlement of Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify any indemnitee under this Article VI for any amounts paid in settlement of any proceeding effected without the Corporation’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6.9

Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Article VI, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnitee (excluding insurance obtained on the indemnitee’s own behalf), and the indemnitee shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

6.10

Procedures for Submission of Claims. The Board of Directors may establish reasonable procedures for the submission of claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, determination of the entitlement of any person thereto and review of any such determination. Such procedures shall be set forth in an appendix to these Bylaws and shall be deemed for all purposes to be a part hereof.

6.11

Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article VI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article VI (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Article VI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not by themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities or circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VI (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Article VI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent of the parties that the Corporation provide protection to the indemnitee to the fullest extent set forth in this Article VI.

SEVENTH: The following Section 7.9 shall be added immediately following Article VII, Section 7.8 of the Bylaws:

7.9	Restrictions on Other Agreements. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and of the Stockholders Agreement shall be controlling if any such provisions or the operation thereof conflict with the provisions of these Bylaws.

EIGHTH: The following Article VIII shall be added immediately following Article VII of the Bylaws:

ARTICLE VIII

FORUM FOR ADJUDICATION OF DISPUTES

8.1

Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (A) (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws (as either may be amended or restated) or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, the federal district court of the State of Delaware; and (B) the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.1 shall not apply to claims seeking to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 8.1.

8.2

Enforceability. If any provision of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held

to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities or circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

2. REGISTRATION.

(a) Demand Registration.

(i) At any time after the Lock-Up Release Date, any Holder(s) shall have the option and right, exercisable by delivering a written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”), to require the Company to, pursuant to the terms of and subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement registering the offering and sale of the number and type of Registrable Securities on the terms and conditions specified in the Demand Notice, which may include sales on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement (a “Demand Registration”). The Demand Notice

must set forth the number of Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holder(s) intend to include in such Demand Registration and the intended methods of disposition thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Company be required to effectuate a Demand Registration unless the Registrable Securities of the Initiating Holder(s), their respective Affiliates and any other Holders to be included therein have an aggregate value, based on the VWAP as of the date of the Demand Notice, of at least $30 million (the “Minimum Amount”). In addition, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 10 Business Days after the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (which shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if available) to permit the public resale of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement (including such Shelf Registration Statement) to become or to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the initial filing of such Registration Statement (or 90 days following the filing thereof if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Shelf Registration Statement). Each Registration Statement (including such Shelf Registration Statement) shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders of any and all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Registration Statement (including such Shelf Registration Statement) filed pursuant to this Section 2(a) to be continuously effective, supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for the resale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”; provided, that if a Registration Statement is not a Shelf Registration Statement, “Effectiveness Period” shall mean until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold). If such Registration Statement is filed on Form S-3 and has been outstanding for at least three years, and the Registration Statement relates to offerings of securities described in Rule 415(a)(vii), (ix) or (x), at the end of the third year the Company shall refile a new Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if such Form is not available, Form S-1) covering the Registrable Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation to prepare and file such Registration Statement on Form S-3 upon becoming eligible to use such form does not constitute a Demand Registration for purposes of this Agreement.

(ii) Within 30 days after the receipt of the Demand Notice (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, within 45 days thereof), the Company shall, subject to the limitations of this Section 2(a), file a Registration Statement in accordance with the terms and conditions of, and the intended timing and method of disposition described in, the Demand Notice. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof under the Securities Act for the duration of the Effectiveness Period.

(iii) Subject to the other limitations contained in this Agreement, the Company is not obligated hereunder to (A) file any Registration Statement pursuant to a Demand Registration within 90 days after the closing of any prior Requested Underwritten Offering, unless as a result of Section 2(e), the prior Requested Underwritten Offering included less than (the “Requested Underwritten Offering Minimum Condition”) the lesser of (i) Registrable Securities of the Initiating Holder(s) having an aggregate value, based on the VWAP as of the effective date of the related Registration Statement, of $50 million, and (ii) the aggregate value, based on the VWAP as of the effective date of the related Registration Statement, of two-thirds of the number of Registrable Securities the Initiating Holder(s) set forth in the applicable Underwritten Offering

Notice, or (B) effect a Demand Registration pursuant to a Demand Notice if a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities held by the Initiating Holder(s) shall have become and remains effective under the Securities Act and is sufficient to permit offers and sales of the number and type of Registrable Securities on the terms and conditions specified in the Demand Notice in accordance with the intended timing and method or methods of distribution thereof specified in the Demand Notice. No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 2(a)(iii) if the Registration Statement relating thereto does not become effective or is not maintained effective for its entire Effectiveness Period (other than any Blackout Period pursuant to Section 3(p)), in which case the Initiating Holder(s) shall be entitled to an additional Demand Registration in lieu thereof.

(iv) A Holder may withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration from such Demand Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement. Upon receipt of a notice from an Initiating Holder that such Initiating Holder is withdrawing an amount of its Registrable Securities such that the remaining amount of Registrable Securities to be included in the Demand Registration is below the Minimum Amount, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement (it being understood that in such event such Demand Registration shall not count towards any limits or similar restrictions under this Agreement on such Demand Registrations).

(v) The Company may include in any such Demand Registration or the Shelf Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a)(i) other Company Securities for sale for its own account or for the account of any other Person, subject to Sections 2(e).

(vi) Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the Company shall effect any Demand Registration on such appropriate registration form of the Commission (A) as shall be selected by the Company and (B) as shall permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the Demand Notice; provided, however, that to the extent the Company is a WKSI at the time, any Initiating Holder may request that the Company file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any equivalent or successor form under the Securities Act), in which case the Company shall file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement which covers those Registrable Securities which are requested to be registered. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)) during the period during which the Registrable Securities remain Registrable Securities. If the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company agrees to pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold. If an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three years, at the end of the third year the Company shall refile a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities. If at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to refile the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 and keep such registration statement effective during the period during which such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective hereunder. The Holders may use such Form S-3 to dispose of their Registrable Securities on a non-underwritten basis, and may utilize such Form S-3 on an underwritten basis if requested by the Initiating Holder(s). If at any time a Registration Statement on Form S-3 is effective and a Holder provides written notice to the Company that it intends to effect an offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities included on such Registration Statement, the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, amend or supplement such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such offering to take place.

(vii) If the Company files any shelf registration statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, the Company agrees that it shall include in such registration statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the initial offering of the securities to the Holders) in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such shelf registration statement at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment.

(viii) Without limiting Section 3, in connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2(a), the Company shall (A) promptly prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed (1) such additional forms, amendments, supplements, prospectuses, certificates, letters, opinions and other documents, as may be necessary or advisable to register or qualify the Registrable Securities subject to such Demand Registration, including under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders shall reasonably request; provided, however, that no such qualification shall be required in any jurisdiction where, as a result thereof, the Company would become subject to general service of process or to taxation or qualification to do business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of registration and (2) such forms, amendments, supplements, prospectuses, certificates, letters, opinions and other documents as may be necessary to apply for listing or to list the Registrable Securities subject to such Demand Registration on the Trading Market and (B) do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate or reasonably requested by the Holders to enable the Holders to consummate a public sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended timing and method or methods of distribution thereof.

(ix) In the event a Holder transfers Registrable Securities included on a Registration Statement, such Holder has assigned its rights under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8(e) and such Registrable Securities remain Registrable Securities following such transfer, at the request of such Holder, the Company shall amend or supplement such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such transferee to offer and sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement; provided that in no event shall the Company be required to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement unless (A) such Registration Statement includes only Registrable Securities held by the Holder, Affiliates of the Holder or transferees of the Holder and securities (other than Registrable Securities) to be offered by the Company or Persons that are not Holders or (B) the Company has received written consent therefor from a Person for whom Registrable Securities have been registered on (but not yet sold under) such Registration Statement, other than the Holder, Affiliates of the Holder or transferees of the Holder.

(x) If a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts as promptly as is reasonably practicable to cause such Registration Statement to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement), and shall use its reasonable best efforts as promptly as is reasonably practicable to amend such Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or file an additional Registration Statement registering the resale from time to time by the Holders thereof of all securities that are Registrable Securities as of the time of such filing and not registered pursuant to another

Registration Statement pursuant to the Holders’ intended method of disposition. If any Registrable Securities required to be included under this Agreement in a Registration Statement are not included by the Company on a Registration Statement, the Company shall, upon request by the Holders, promptly file and use its reasonable best efforts to have declared effective one or more additional Registration Statements registering the resale from time to time by the Holders thereof of all securities that are Registrable Securities as of the time of such filing and not registered pursuant to another Registration Statement pursuant to the Holders’ intended method of disposition.

(b) Requested Underwritten Offering. Any Initiating Holder(s) then able to effectuate a Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of Section 2(a), ignoring for purposes of such determination Section 2(a)(iii)(B) (or who has previously effectuated a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2(a) but has not engaged in an Underwritten Offering in respect of such Demand Registration), shall have the option and right, exercisable by delivering written notice to the Company of its intention to distribute Registrable Securities by means of an Underwritten Offering (an “Underwritten Offering Notice”), to require the Company, pursuant to the terms of and subject to the limitations of this Agreement, to effectuate a distribution of any or all of its Registrable Securities by means of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a new Demand Registration (if the Underwritten Offering cannot be conducted pursuant to an effective Registration Statement) or pursuant to an effective Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities (a “Requested Underwritten Offering”); provided, that the Registrable Securities of such Holder(s) requested to be included in such Requested Underwritten Offering together with any other Holders that elect to participate in such Requested Underwritten Offering have an aggregate value of at least equal to the Minimum Amount as of the date of such Underwritten Offering Notice. The Underwritten Offering Notice must set forth the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder intends to include in such Requested Underwritten Offering. The Managing Underwriter and the other underwriters of a Requested Underwritten Offering shall be designated by the Initiating Holder; subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Initiating Holder, in connection with any other Holder participating in such Requested Underwritten Offering, shall determine the pricing of the Registrable Securities offered pursuant to any Requested Underwritten Offering and the applicable underwriting discounts and commissions and determine the timing of any such Requested Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not obligated to (i) effect a Requested Underwritten Offering within 90 days after the closing of a Requested Underwritten Offering, unless as a result of Section 2(e), the prior Requested Underwritten Offering failed to satisfy the Requested Underwritten Offering Minimum Condition, in which case such prior Requested Underwritten Offering shall not be deemed to have occurred or (ii) conduct more than six Requested Underwritten Offerings in the aggregate or more than two Requested Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 2(b) in any twelve-month period (the “Requested Underwritten Offering Cap”); provided, that (A) if, prior to filing of the applicable prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Requested Underwritten Offering, the majority-in-interest of Holders participating in such Requested Underwritten Offering withdraws from such Requested Underwritten Offering, (B) if the Initiating Holder has reimbursed the Company for all its Registration Expenses in connection with such Requested Underwritten Offering, or (C) if the Requested Underwritten Offering Minimum Condition is not met (or, if it is met, at least 75% of the Registrable Securities included in such Requested Underwritten Offering are not sold in such Requested Underwritten Offering) then, in the case of each of (A), (B) and (C), such Requested Underwritten Offering shall not count towards the Requested Underwritten Offering Cap ((i) and (ii) together, the “Underwritten Offering Limitation”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2, in the event of a sale of Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering requiring the involvement of the Company and of the type which are commonly known as a “block trade,” “overnight offering” or “bought deal” (a “Block Trade”), the Initiating Holder shall give at least two Business Days prior notice in writing (the “Block Trade Notice”) of such transaction to the Company and identify the potential underwriter(s) in such notice

with contact information for such underwriter(s); and the Company shall cooperate with such Initiating Holder or Holders to the extent it is reasonably able to effect such Block Trade. Any Block Trade shall be for at least $15 million in expected gross proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt, a Block Trade shall not constitute a Requested Underwritten Offering for purposes of the Underwritten Offering Limitation. The Initiating Holder in any Block Trade shall select the underwriter(s) to administer such Block Trade subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Piggyback Registration and Piggyback Underwritten Offering.

(i) If the Company shall at any time propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Common Stock (other than a registration statement on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto or filed solely in connection with an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan or an offering on any registration statement form that does not permit secondary sales), whether or not for its own account, other than in connection with an Underwritten Offering subject to the procedures of Section 2(d)(ii), then the Company shall promptly notify all Initial Holders, Affiliates thereof and Holders holding Registrable Securities having an aggregate value, based on the VWAP as of the date prior to the date such notification is given, of at least $1 million (or all Holders in the case of a Demand Registration or a Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by Section 2(a)(i)) of such proposal reasonably in advance of (and in any event at least 10 Business Days before) the anticipated filing date (the “Piggyback Registration Notice”). The Piggyback Registration Notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to include for registration in such registration statement the number of Registrable Securities as they may request in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration such Registrable Securities for which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein (“Piggyback Registration Request”) within five Business Days after sending the Piggyback Registration Notice. Each such Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw; provided that such request must be made in writing prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement and such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, a Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Registration as to which such withdrawal was made. Any withdrawing Holder shall continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of Common Stock, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. No registration effected under this Section 2(d) shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 2(a) above or shall relieve the Company of the Company’s obligation to effect any registration upon request under Section 2(a) above.

(ii) If the Company shall at any time propose to conduct an Underwritten Offering (including a Requested Underwritten Offering but excluding a Block Trade), whether or not for its own account, then the Company shall promptly notify all Initial Holders, Affiliates thereof and Holders holding Registrable Securities having an aggregate value, based on the VWAP as of the date prior to the date such notification is given, of at least $1 million (or all Holders in the case of a Requested Underwritten Offering) of such proposal reasonably in advance of the commencement of the offering, which notice shall set forth the principal terms and conditions of the issuance, including the proposed offering price (or range of offering prices), the anticipated filing date of the related registration statement (if applicable) and the number of shares of Common Stock that are proposed to be registered (the “Underwritten Offering Piggyback Notice”). Receipt of a Piggyback Registration Notice under Section 2(d)(i) or any Underwritten Offering Piggyback Notice required to be provided in this Section 2(d)(ii) to Holders shall be kept confidential by the Holder until such proposed Underwritten Offering is (i) publicly announced or

(ii) such Holder receives notice that such proposed registration or Underwritten Offering, as the case may be, has been abandoned, which such notice shall be provided promptly by the Company to each Holder. The Underwritten Offering Piggyback Notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to include in such Underwritten Offering (and any related registration, if applicable) the number of Registrable Securities as they may request in writing (an “Underwritten Piggyback Offering”); provided, however, that in the event that the Company proposes to effectuate the subject Underwritten Offering pursuant to an effective Registration Statement for offerings to be made on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 (or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission), regardless of whether, for purposes of this Section 2(d)(ii), any Registrable Securities are included thereon (other than an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and Holders could be included in the Underwritten Offering to be effectuated pursuant to such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement without the filing of a post-effective amendment thereto, other than a post-effective amendment that is immediately effective), only Registrable Securities of such Holders which are subject to an effective Shelf Registration Statement may be included in such Underwritten Piggyback Offering, unless the Company is then able to file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and in the reasonable judgment of the Company, the filing of the same including Registrable Securities of such Holders that are not otherwise included in an effective Shelf Registration Statement would not have a material adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Stock in such Underwritten Piggyback Offering. The Company shall include in each such Underwritten Piggyback Offering such Registrable Securities for which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein (“Underwritten Offering Piggyback Request”) within three Business Days after sending the Underwritten Offering Piggyback Notice. Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities from an Underwritten Piggyback Offering up to and including the time of pricing of such offering, and such Holder shall continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Underwritten Offerings, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(iii) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2(d) at any time in its sole discretion whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights afforded to Holders in this Section 2(d) shall not apply to Block Trades.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Holder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Company of any proposed filing of a registration statement or Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing.

(e) Priority in Underwritten Offerings. In connection with an Underwritten Offering, if the Managing Underwriter of any such Underwritten Offering advises the Company, and the Company advises the Holders in writing, that, in the reasonable opinion of the Managing Underwriter, the total amount of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) that the Holders and any other Persons (including the Company) intend to include in such Underwritten Offering (and any related registration, if applicable) exceeds the number that can be included in such Underwritten Offering without being likely to have a material adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Stock offered or the market for the Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock), then the Common Stock to be included in such Underwritten Offering (in each case subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement) shall

include the number of shares of Common Stock that such Managing Underwriter, in its reasonable opinion, advises the Company can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated as follows (in each case, with respect to such Persons that have validly requested to include shares of Common Stock in such Underwritten Offering in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to rights of registration granted by the Company):

(i) if the offering was initiated for and on behalf of the Company:

(A) first, to the Company;

(B) second, to other holders of registration rights and the Holders, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by such other holders and the Holders; and

(C) third, to all other holders of Common Stock entitled to participate in such Underwritten Offering, pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock then held by such other holders;

(ii) in the case of a Requested Underwritten Offering:

(A) first, to the Holders, pro rata based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder;

(B) second, any remaining Holders, pro rata based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder, in the case that an Initiating Holder withdraws its participation in the Requested Underwritten Offering;

(D) fourth, pro rata among all other holders of Common Stock entitled to participate in such Underwritten Offering, pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock then held by such other holders;

(iii) if the offering was not initiated for and on behalf of the Company and was initiated for and on behalf of any holder of registration rights (other than any Holder):

(A) first, to such other holders and the Holders, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by such other holders and the Holders;

(B) second, to the Company; and

(C) third, pro rata among all other holders of Common Stock proposed to be included in such offering based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by such other holders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) an offering was initiated by the Holders, (ii) the Holders are unable to include in the offering all of the shares of Common Stock including in the Underwritten Offering Piggyback Request and (iii) the underwriters in such offering exercise their option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the shares sold in such offering, the shares to be included in such option closing shall be allocated (x) first, to the Holders, pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder until all shares included in the Underwritten Offering Piggyback Request are sold, and (y) second, to the Company.

3. REGISTRATION AND UNDERWRITTEN OFFERING PROCEDURES.

The procedures to be followed by the Company and each Holder electing to sell Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, and the respective rights and obligations of the Company and such Holders, with respect to the preparation, filing and effectiveness of such Registration Statement and the effectuation of any Underwritten Offering, are as follows:

(a) In connection with a Demand Registration and the Shelf Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a)(i), the Company will, at least five Business Days prior to the anticipated filing of the Registration Statement and any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than any filing made under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement), (i) offer to provide and, if requested, furnish to such Holders and counsel selected by such Holders copies of all such documents prior to filing and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to address in each such document when so filed with the Commission such comments as such Holders reasonably shall propose prior to the filing thereof, and the Company shall not file any such Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, any Managing Underwriter or any of their respective counsel shall reasonably object in writing on a timely basis.

(b) In connection with a Piggyback Registration, an Underwritten Piggyback Offering or a Requested Underwritten Offering, the Company will, at least three Business Days prior to the anticipated filing of any initial Registration Statement that identifies the Holders and any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than amendments and supplements that do not materially alter the previous disclosure or do nothing more than name Holders and provide information with respect thereto that in each case such Holders have previously consented to in writing or provided for inclusion therein), as applicable, (i) furnish to such Holders and counsel selected by such Holders copies of any such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto that identify the Holders and any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than amendments and supplements that do not materially alter the previous disclosure or do nothing more than name Holders and provide information with respect thereto) prior to filing and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to address in each such document when so filed with the Commission such comments as such Holders reasonably shall propose prior to the filing thereof, and the Company shall not file any such Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, any Managing Underwriter or any of their respective counsel shall reasonably object in writing on a timely basis.

(c) In connection with a Demand Registration, the Company will, promptly prior to the filing of any document which is to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (after the initial filing of such Registration Statement), and prior to the filing of any free writing prospectus, provide copies of such document to counsel for each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included therein and to each Managing Underwriter, if any, and will make the Company’s representatives reasonably available for discussion of such document and make such changes in such document concerning the Holders prior to the filing thereof as counsel for the Holders or Managing Underwriters may reasonably request.

(d) The Company will use reasonable best efforts to as promptly as reasonably practicable (i) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary under applicable law to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered thereby for its Effectiveness Period and, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) if a prospectus supplement will be used in connection with the marketing of an Underwritten Offering and the Managing Underwriter at any time shall notify the Holders that, in the reasonable judgment of such Managing Underwriter, inclusion of detailed information to be used in such prospectus supplement is of material importance to the success of the Underwritten Offering, or if such information is required by applicable law (including the rules and regulation of the Commission), include such information in a prospectus supplement; and (iv) respond to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably practicable provide such Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that pertains to such Holders as selling stockholders but not any comments that would result in the disclosure to such Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company unless requested by such Holders.

(e) The Company will comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Registration Statements and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement.

(f) The Company will notify such Holders who are included in a Registration Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable: (i) (A) when a Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement in which such Holder is included has been filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of the applicable Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (in which case the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of such Holders that pertain to such Holders as selling stockholders but not any comments or responses that would result in the disclosure to such Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company unless requested by such Holders); and (C) with respect to each applicable Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has been declared effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information that pertains to such Holders as sellers of Registrable Securities; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Actions for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Action for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence (but not the details unless requested by such Holders) of any event or passage of time that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided, however, that no notice by the Company shall be required pursuant to this clause (v) in the event that the Company either promptly files a prospectus supplement to update the Prospectus or a Form 8-K or other appropriate Exchange Act report that is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, which in either case, contains the requisite information that results in such Registration Statement no longer containing any untrue statement of material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading).

(g) The Company will use reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as promptly as reasonably practicable, or if any such order or suspension is made effective during any Blackout Period or Suspension Period, as promptly as reasonably practicable after such Blackout Period or Suspension Period is over.

(h) During the Effectiveness Period, the Company will furnish to each such Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Holder (including those incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that the Company will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s XXXXX system.

(i) The Company will promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) authorized by the Company for use and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request during the Effectiveness Period. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 8(b), the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

(j) The Company will cooperate with such Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends indicating that the Registrable Securities are unregistered or unqualified for resale under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request in writing. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly, after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, use reasonable best efforts to cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without any such legend upon sale by the Holder of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement.

(k) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(f)(v), as promptly as reasonably practicable, the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, if required by applicable law, to the affected Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(l) With respect to Underwritten Offerings, subject to the right of a Holder to withdraw such Holder’s Registrable Securities from an Underwritten Offering in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (i) the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering shall be conditioned upon such Xxxxxx’s participation in such underwriting and the

inclusion of such Xxxxxx’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein, (ii) each Holder participating in such Underwritten Offering severally agrees to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form and sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to select the Managing Underwriter hereunder and (iii) each Holder participating in such Underwritten Offering severally agrees to complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily and reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. The Company hereby agrees with each Holder that, in connection with any Underwritten Offering in accordance with the terms hereof, it will negotiate in good faith and execute all indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, including using all reasonable best efforts to procure customary legal opinions and auditor “comfort” letters.

(m) For a reasonable period prior to the filing of any Registration Statement and throughout the Effectiveness Period, the Company will make available, upon reasonable notice at the Company’s principal place of business or such other reasonable place, for inspection during normal business hours by a representative or representatives of the selling Holders, the Managing Underwriter and any attorneys or accountants retained by such selling Holders or underwriters, all such financial and other information and books and records of the Company, and cause the officers, employees, counsel and independent certified public accountants of the Company to respond to such inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary (and in the case of counsel, not violate an attorney-client privilege in such counsel’s reasonable belief) to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that any information that is not generally publicly available at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such Persons unless disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order or, in the opinion of counsel to such Person, law, in which case, such Person shall be required to give the Company written notice of the proposed disclosure prior to such disclosure and, if requested by the Company, assist the Company in seeking to prevent or limit the proposed disclosure.

(n) Enter into customary agreements and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Holders or the Managing Underwriters, if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities and entry of such Registrable Securities in book-entry with The Depository Trust Company, and in connection with any Demand Registration or Requested Underwritten Offering, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as the Holders and underwriters reasonably request with respect to all road shows, ratings agency presentations and marketing activities or in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities subject to such Demand Registration or Requested Underwritten Offering and to cause appropriate officers and employees to be available, on a customary basis and upon reasonable notice, to meet with prospective investors and others relevant parties in presentations, meetings, ratings agency presentations and other marketing efforts and otherwise provide reasonable assistance to the underwriters (taking into account the needs of the Company’s businesses and the requirements of the marketing process) in marketing the Registrable Securities.

(o) Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company any other information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such securities as the Company reasonably determines is required to be included in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus or prospectus supplement relating to inclusion in a Registration Statement or an Underwritten Offering.

(p) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to file a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or effect a Requested Underwritten Offering (or, if the Company has filed a Shelf Registration Statement and has included Registrable Securities therein, the Company shall be entitled to suspend the offer and sale of Registrable Securities

pursuant to such Registration Statement) for a period of up to 60 days if (i) the Board determines in good faith that a postponement is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders generally due to a pending transaction involving the Company (including a pending securities offering by the Company), (ii) the Board determines in good faith such registration or offering would render the Company unable to comply with applicable securities laws, or (iii) the Board determines in good faith such registration or offering would require disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential (any such period, a “Blackout Period”); provided that the Company shall not delay filing any demanded Registration Statement or effecting any Requested Underwritten Offering more than twice in any consecutive 12-month period and for no more than 60 days on each such occasion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any Blackout Periods, any Suspension Periods and any Holder Lock-Up Periods collectively continue for more than 120 days in the aggregate during any consecutive 12-month period.

(q) In connection with an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide to each Holder named as a selling securityholder in any Registration Statement a copy of any auditor “comfort” letters and customary legal opinions, in each case that have been provided to the Managing Underwriter in connection with the Underwritten Offering, not later than the Business Day prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement.

(r) In connection with any Underwritten Offering other than a Block Trade or, with respect to the Initial Holders, an Underwritten Offering where the Initiating Holders are not the Initial Holders or Affiliates thereof (other than one such occasion subject to the other provisions of this Agreement), any Holder that together with its Affiliates owns 10% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, shall execute a customary “lock-up” agreement with the underwriters of such Underwritten Offering containing a lock-up period equal to the shorter of (A) the shortest number of days that a director of the Company, “executive officer” (as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act) of the Company or any stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder or director or employee of, or consultant to, the Company) who owns 10% or more of the outstanding Common Stock contractually agrees to with the underwriters of such Underwritten Offering not to sell any securities of the Company following such Underwritten Offering and (B) 60 days from the date of the execution of the underwriting agreement with respect to such Underwritten Offering or such shorter period as agreed to by the Managing Underwriter (each such period, a “Holder Lock-Up Period”); provided, that, each such Holder shall receive the benefit of any shorter Holder Lock-Up Period or permitted exceptions (on a pro rata basis) agreed to by the Managing Underwriter with respect to any Holder.

(s) In connection with an Underwritten Offering, the Company will provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.

(t) If any Holder could reasonably be deemed to be an “underwriter,” as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, in connection with the Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement and any amendment or supplement thereof (a “Holder Underwriter Registration Statement”), then the Company will reasonably cooperate with such Holder in allowing such Holder to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence” with respect to the Company and satisfy its obligations in respect thereof. In addition, at any Holder’s request, the Company will furnish to such Holder, on the date of the effectiveness of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as such Holder may reasonably request (provided that such request shall not be more frequently than on an annual basis unless such Holder is offering Registrable Securities pursuant to an Underwritten Offering), (i) a “comfort letter”, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as has been customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities

by the Company, addressed to such Holder, (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as has been customarily given in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company, including standard “10b-5” negative assurance for such offerings, addressed to such Holder and (iii) a standard officer’s certificate from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer, or other officers serving such functions, of the Company addressed to the Holder, as has been customarily given by such officers in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company. The Company will also use its reasonable best efforts to provide legal counsel to such Holder with an opportunity to review and comment upon any such Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, and any amendments and supplements thereto, prior to its filing with the Commission.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(t), the Company will not name a Holder as an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) in any Registration Statement without such Holder’s consent. If the staff of the Commission requires the Company to name any Holder as an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act), and such Holder does not consent thereto, then such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall not be included on the applicable Registration Statement, and the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Holder with respect to such Registration Statement, unless such Holder has not had an opportunity to conduct customary underwriter’s due diligence as set forth in subsection (m) of this Section 3 with respect to the Company at the time such Xxxxxx’s consent is sought.

(u) In connection with a Demand Registration or Underwritten Offering, the Company will cause its senior management, officers and employees to participate in, and the Company will otherwise facilitate and cooperate with the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto (including participating in meetings, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions and rating agency presentations) taking into account the Company’s reasonable business needs.

(v) The Company will take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

4. NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS; ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. The Company shall not hereafter enter into, and is not currently a party to, any agreement with respect to its securities that is superior to or inconsistent with or that in any way violates or subordinates rights granted to the Holders by this Agreement and any such agreement shall be considered void ab initio.

5. REGISTRATION EXPENSES. All Registration Expenses incident to the Parties’ performance of or compliance with their respective obligations under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with any Demand Registration, Requested Underwritten Offering, Piggyback Registration or Underwritten Piggyback Offering (in each case, excluding any Selling Expenses) shall be borne by the Company, whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. “Registration Expenses” shall include, without limitation, all (i) registration and filing fees (including fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the Trading Market, (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and (C) with respect to filings with FINRA), (ii) printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for Company Securities and of printing Prospectuses if the printing of Prospectuses is reasonably requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel, auditors and accountants for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (vii) the fees and expenses of one law firm of national standing selected by the Holders owning the majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in any such registration or offering and (viii) all expenses relating to marketing the sale of

the Registrable Securities, including expenses related to conducting a “road show.” In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including expenses payable to third parties and including all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on the Trading Market.

6. INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers and directors and any agent thereof (collectively, “Holder Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Holder Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, under the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which any Registrable Securities were registered, in any preliminary prospectus (if the Company authorized the use of such preliminary prospectus prior to the Effective Date), or in any summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus (if such free writing prospectus was authorized for use by the Company) or in any amendment or supplement thereto (if used during the period the Company is required to keep the Registration Statement current), or arising out of, based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, in the case of the Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon the omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in the case of any preliminary prospectus (if the Company authorized the use of such preliminary prospectus prior to the Effective Date), or in any summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus (if such free writing prospectus was authorized for use by the Company) or in any amendment or supplement thereto (if used during the period the Company is required to keep the Registration Statement current); provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Holder Indemnified Person to the extent that any such claim arises out of, is based upon or results from an untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, such preliminary, summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person specifically for use in the preparation thereof. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Action of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Xxxxxx. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 6 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement indefinitely.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder participates, such Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and any agent thereof, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus (if used prior to the Effective Date of such Registration Statement), or in any summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (if used during the period

the Company is required to keep the Registration Statement current), or arising out of, based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, in the case of the Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon the omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading in the case of any preliminary prospectus (if used prior to the Effective Date of such Registration Statement), or in any summary or final prospectus or free writing prospectus (if such free writing prospectus was authorized for use by the Company) or in any amendment or supplement thereto (if used during the period the Company is required to keep the Registration Statement current), but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance and in conformity with information relating to the Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability such Holder may otherwise have and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any indemnified party. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim or there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party that are in addition to or may conflict with those available to another indemnified party with respect to such claim. Failure to give prompt written notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any Losses referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

7. FACILITATION OF SALES PURSUANT TO RULE 144; REMOVAL OF LEGEND.

(a) The Company shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144), and shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder in connection with that Xxxxxx’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

(b) In connection with a sale of the Registrable Securities by a Holder in reliance on Rule 144, the applicable Holder or its broker shall, if required by the Company or its transfer agent, deliver to the Company a broker and seller representation letter, as appropriate, including information required under Rule 144 for the Company to determine that the sale of such shares is made in compliance with Rule 144. Upon receipt of such representation letter or letters, the Company shall, in connection with such sale, promptly remove (or cause to be removed) the notation of the securities laws restrictive legend on such Holder’s certificates representing such shares or the book-entry account maintained by the Company and the Company shall bear all costs associated therewith. At such time as (i) such shares referred to above have been sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or (ii) a Holder has a “holding period” with respect to such securities under Rule 144(d) of more than 12 months and such Holder is not, and has not been in the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company (as defined in Rule 144), if certificates representing such shares or the book-entry account of such shares still bears a notation of a securities laws restrictive legend, the Company agrees, upon request of such Holder or permitted assignee, to take all steps reasonably necessary to promptly effect the removal of such legend from such shares, and the Company shall bear all costs associated therewith, regardless of whether the request is made in connection with a sale or otherwise, so long as such Holder or its permitted assigns provide to the Company any information the Company deems reasonably necessary to determine (in the case of clause (ii) above) that the legend is no longer required. The Company shall cooperate with each Holder to effect the removal of a Securities Act restrictive legend at any time such legend is no longer appropriate.

8. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Remedies. In the event of actual or potential breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b) Discontinued Disposition. Subject to the last sentence of Section 3(p), each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 3(f), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Xxxxxx’s receipt of the copies of the supplemental Prospectus or amended Registration Statement as contemplated by Section 3(k) or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement (a “Suspension Period”). The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 8(b).

(c) Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and Holders that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities as of the date of such waiver or amendment; provided, that any waiver or amendment that would have a disproportionate adverse effect on a Holder relative to the other Holders shall require the consent of such Holder. The Company shall provide prior notice to all Holders of any proposed waiver or amendment. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

(d) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via electronic mail as specified in this Section 8(d) prior to 5:00 p.m. Central Time on a Business Day, (ii) the Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via electronic mail as specified in this Agreement later than 5:00 p.m. Central Time on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. Central Time on such date, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Party to whom such notice is required to be given.

Except as provided in this Section 8(e), this Agreement, and any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Company (acting through the Board) and the Holders. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the rights of a Holder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to all or any portion of its Registrable Securities may be assigned without such consent (but only with all related obligations) with respect to such Registrable Securities (and any Registrable Securities issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, in exchange for or in replacement of such Registrable Securities) by such Holder to a transferee of such Registrable Securities; provided (i) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned (and, if applicable, if the transferor or assignor is an Affiliate of an Initial Holder) and (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities.

(f) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give any Person, other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy, claim or benefit under or in respect of this Agreement.

(g) Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

(h) Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of United States District Court for the District of Delaware or in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such courts lack subject-matter jurisdiction, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each Party anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.

(i) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

(j) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(k) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof and the matters addressed or governed hereby, whether oral or written.

(l) Termination. Except for Section 6, this Agreement shall terminate as to any Holder, when all Registrable Securities held by such Holder no longer constitute Registrable Securities.

(m) Recapitalizations, Etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to any and all stock or other securities of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise), which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution of, the Registrable Securities, and shall be appropriately adjusted for combinations, stock splits, recapitalizations, pro rata distributions of stock and the like occurring after the date of this Agreement.

(n) Change of Control. The Company shall not merge, consolidate or combine with any other Person, or reorganize or convert into another entity or form of entity, or sell all or substantially all of its assets (on a consolidated basis or otherwise), or engage in any similar transaction unless the agreement, plan of conversion and/or other governing instrument providing for such merger, consolidation or combination, or reorganization, conversion, sale or similar transaction, expressly provides for the continuation of the rights specified in this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities or other equity securities issued pursuant to such merger, consolidation or combination or reorganization, conversion, sale or similar transaction.

(o) Obligations Limited to Parties to Agreement. Each of the parties hereto covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Person other than the Holders (and their transferees or assignees) and the Company shall have any obligation hereunder and that notwithstanding that a Holder is a limited liability company or other entity, no recourse under this Agreement shall be had against any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of the Holders or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of the Holders or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, as such, for any obligations of the Holders under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligation or its creation.

(p) Independent Nature of Holder’s Obligations. The obligations of each Holder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that a Holder is in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

ARTICLE II

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

SECTION 2.1. Board of Directors.

(a) Amberjack Designees. Following the Closing Date, Xxxxxxxxx shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate for nomination by the Company to the Board a number of designees equal to: (i) four Directors, so long as the Stockholders collectively

beneficially own 40% or more of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time; (ii) three Directors, in the event that the Stockholders collectively beneficially own less than 40% but at least 30% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time; (iii) two Directors in the event that the Stockholders collectively beneficially own less than 30% but at least 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time; and (iv) one Director in the event that the Stockholders collectively beneficially own less than 20% but at least 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time; provided, that as long as Amberjack has the right to nominate three or more Directors, (A) at least one of the Directors nominated pursuant to this provision shall be Independent and (B) at least two of the Directors nominated pursuant to this provision shall not be employees or Affiliates of Amberjack. Amberjack shall permanently, and despite any later increase in their beneficial ownership, no longer be entitled to designate a Director nominee at such time as the Stockholders collectively beneficially own Common Stock representing less than 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.1(a) to the contrary, Amberjack shall have the right to designate for nomination by the Company to the Board a number of designees equal to four Directors for the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (or such lesser number of Amberjack Designees in the class up for election in such year, provided the total number of resulting Amberjack Designees on the Board shall be four), irrespective of the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by the Stockholders at such time. For the avoidance of doubt, each Amberjack Designee, regardless of whether up for election at the relevant meeting of stockholders, will be included in determining Amberjack’s nomination rights under this Section 2.1(a). For purposes of this Agreement, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time assumes and gives effect to the issuance of all of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the First Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

(b) Necessary Action to Elect Amberjack Designees. For so long as Amberjack has the right to designate at least one Amberjack Designee to the Board of Directors, the Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law (including with respect to fiduciary duties under Delaware law), to take, or cause to be taken, all necessary action, and, if applicable, the Stockholders agree to vote their respective shares, to cause the election of the CEO Director and each Amberjack Designee to the Board, which such necessary action shall include, without limitation, (i) nominating the CEO Director and each Amberjack Designee to be elected as a director and included in the slate of nominees to be elected or appointed to the Board at the next (and each applicable subsequent) annual or special meeting of stockholders, (ii) including the CEO Director and each of the Amberjack Designees in the proxy statement and on the proxy card, (iii) executing any necessary agreements and instruments, (iv) making or causing to be made, with any Governmental Authority, all filings, registrations or similar actions that are required to achieve such results, and (v) without limiting the foregoing, otherwise using its best efforts to cause such nominees who are Amberjack Designees and the CEO Director to be elected to the Board.

(c) Board Composition. The Board shall be divided into three classes of directors, with each class serving staggered three-year terms in accordance with the Charter and, unless otherwise requested by Amberjack, each Amberjack Designee, if any, shall be assigned (or continue to be assigned) to the classes specified in the Merger Agreement.

(d) Other Directors. To the extent that Section 2.1(a) above shall not be applicable or Amberjack no longer has the right to nominate and designate for election such Amberjack Designees, such Directors shall be nominated and elected in accordance with Applicable Law, the Company’s Organizational Documents and its related guidelines and any corporate governance guidelines and the rules of the Applicable Stock Exchange, as applicable and as then in effect. Upon such time as Amberjack is no longer entitled to nominate and designate for election to the Board an Amberjack Designee, Amberjack and the Principal Stockholders shall take all necessary action to, at the request of either a majority of the Directors then in office who are not Amberjack Designees or the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (or equivalent), cause such individual to resign immediately or, if no such request is made, such individual shall continue to serve until his or her successor is elected and appointed or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Following such resignation, the Directors remaining in office shall be entitled, in their discretion, to decrease the size of the Board to eliminate such vacancy or to select a replacement Director to fill such vacancy.

(e) Nomination Procedures.

(i) With respect to any Director to be nominated and designated for election by Xxxxxxxxx other than the initial Amberjack Designees listed in the Merger Agreement, Amberjack shall nominate and designate an Amberjack Designee by delivering to the Company a written statement identifying such individual(s), which in the case of the Company’s annual meeting must be delivered no less than 90 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding annual meeting nominating and designating for election such Amberjack Designee or Amberjack Designees; provided, that if Amberjack shall fail to deliver such written notice, Amberjack shall be deemed to have nominated and designated for election the Amberjack Designee(s) previously nominated and designated (or designated pursuant the Merger Agreement) who is/are currently serving on the Board and are then up for election at the relevant meeting or action by written consent; provided, further, that such notice period shall not apply in the event Amberjack is required to select a substitute individual under Section 2.1(e)(iii).

(ii) Each Amberjack Designee, as a condition to his or her initial nomination, appointment or election to the Board and any re-nomination for election to the Board, must be willing to be interviewed by the nominating and corporate governance committee on the same basis as any other new or returning, as applicable, candidate for appointment or election to the Board. Amberjack, in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and each Amberjack Designee, shall deliver such questionnaires and otherwise provide such information as are reasonably requested by the Company in connection with assessing qualification, independence and other criteria applicable to Directors, or required to be provided by Directors, candidates for Director, and their Affiliates and representatives for inclusion in a proxy statement or other filing required by Applicable Law and the rules of the Applicable Stock Exchange, in each case to the same extent requested or required of other candidates for appointment or election to the Board.

(iii) An individual nominated and designated by Amberjack for election (including pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(i) and Section 2.1(a)) as a Director shall comply with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article II, in the event that the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the election of a particular Amberjack Designee pursuant to this Section 2.1 would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders or does not otherwise comply with Applicable Law (provided that any such determination with respect to any Amberjack Designee pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be made no later than fifteen days after such individual’s nomination and designation and in any event with reasonably sufficient time for Amberjack to nominate and designate a substitute individual for inclusion in the Company’s proxy or other solicitation materials), the Board shall inform Xxxxxxxxx of such determination in writing and explain in reasonable detail the basis for such determination and Amberjack shall nominate and designate another individual for election to the Board (subject in each case to this Section 2.1(e)(iii)), and the Board and the Company shall take all of the actions required by this Article II with respect to the election of such substitute individual. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that (A) the initial Amberjack Designees designated pursuant to the Merger Agreement would not constitute such a breach, comply with such requirements and otherwise shall be deemed to have satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 2.1(e)(ii) and Section 2.1(e)(iii) and (B) the fact that a particular Amberjack Designee is an Affiliate, director, professional, partner, member, manager, employee or agent of Amberjack, any Principal Stockholder or any Affiliate of Amberjack or any Principal Stockholder or is not Independent shall not in and of itself constitute an acceptable basis for such determination by the Board; provided, that in the case of clause (B) above, such Amberjack Designee must still satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(e)(ii) and Section 2.1(e)(iii).

(iv) In the absence of any nomination and designation (or deemed nominated and designation) from Amberjack, the nominating and corporate governance committee, or the Board or such other committee of the Board as is fulfilling such function, shall nominate a candidate to serve.

(f) Compensation; No Employment.

(i) Compensation of Directors. The Company, Amberjack and each Principal Stockholder acknowledge and agree that:

a) each Director shall be reimbursed by the Company for his or her reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of his or her duties as a Director, including attendance in person at meetings of the Board or the board of any Company Subsidiary (or any committees thereof), pursuant to such policies as from time to time established by the Board.

b) Nothing contained in this Section 2.1(f) shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Company or any Company Subsidiary in any other capacity and receiving reasonable compensation for such services.

(ii) No Right of Employment Conferred. This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, confer upon any Director any rights with respect to continued employment by the Company, and nothing herein should be construed to have created any employment agreement with any Director.

(g) Guest Attendee. Until the end of the Standstill Period, Amberjack shall have the right to request that a representative of Amberjack (a “Guest Attendee”) attend meetings of the Board (and any committee of which an Amberjack Designee is a member, to the extent consistent with Applicable Law) from time to time, subject to the approval of the Chairman of the Board, and the Guest Attendee shall in such event be entitled to attend and observe and shall receive (at the same time as the Directors to the extent practicable) all notices, invitations, communications and other information pertaining to such meetings (unless Amberjack notifies the Company in writing that such Guest Attendee has opted out of receiving such information); provided, however, that such Guest Attendee shall not (i) participate in or vote on any discussions conducted at Board or applicable committee meetings, (ii) be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at any meeting of the Board or any applicable committee and (iii) be entitled to any other rights or powers of directors under the Organizational Documents, the DGCL, Applicable Law or any other agreement to which the Company is a party. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to provide such Guest Attendee with access to any information, materials or meetings (or portions thereof) if a majority of the members of the Board who are not Amberjack Designees determine reasonably that the exclusion of such Guest Attendee is reasonably necessary to (A) preserve attorney-client privilege or (B) avoid a conflict of interest between the Company and Amberjack or any of its Affiliates or breach of pre-existing contractual or other legal obligations. Amberjack shall cause the Guest Attendee to (1) keep all information received pursuant to the rights granted by this Agreement confidential and, at the Company’s request, execute an attendee agreement and/or confidentiality agreement in the form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Amberjack and (2) not use such information in any way or for any purpose other than to assist Amberjack in monitoring, evaluating and managing its investment in the Company.

SECTION 2.2. Permitted Disclosure. Each Amberjack Designee is permitted to disclose to the Stockholders information that he or she receives as a result of being a Director. Each of the Stockholders severally agrees that it will, and will cause its respective Affiliates to, keep confidential and not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose, other than to monitor and make voting and investment decisions with respect to its investment in the Company and its Subsidiaries and to the extent necessary for the enforcement of any of its rights under this Agreement, any confidential information of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, confidential information obtained pursuant to this Section 2.2 and Section 2.3), unless such confidential information is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 2.2 by the Stockholders or their respective Affiliates), is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Stockholders without use of, reliance on or reference to the Company’s confidential information or is or has been made known or disclosed

to the Stockholders by a third party (other than an Amberjack Designee or an Affiliate of a Stockholder) without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company that is known to the Stockholders; provided, however, that the Stockholders may disclose confidential information (x) to its Affiliates, and its and their respective attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring and making voting and investment decisions with respect to its or its Affiliate’s investment in the Company or to any potential transferees of Equity Securities (directly or indirectly, including a merger or other business combination) held by the Stockholders (provided such potential transferee has executed a confidentiality agreement with terms substantially similar to this Section 2.2) or (y) as may otherwise be required by Applicable Law or legal, judicial or regulatory process, provided that the Stockholders shall take reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any required disclosure described in this clause (y); and provided, further, that the acts and omissions of any Person to whom the Stockholders may disclose confidential information pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding proviso will be attributable to the Stockholders for purposes of determining such Stockholder’s compliance with this Section 2.2.

SECTION 2.3. Information Rights. Until the end of the Standstill Period, the Company shall provide Amberjack or its authorized representatives, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to the Company, with (i) reasonable access to the books and records of the Company or any of its material Subsidiaries and (ii) the right to discuss the Company’s or its material Subsidiaries’ affairs, finances and condition with its and their officers, subject in each case to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 2.2. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to provide Amberjack with access to any information or materials (or portions thereof) if a majority of the members of the Board who are not Amberjack Designees determine reasonably that the withholding of such information or materials (or portions thereof) is reasonably necessary to (A) preserve attorney-client privilege or (B) avoid a conflict of interest between the Company and Amberjack or any of its Affiliates or breach of pre-existing contractual or other legal obligations.

SECTION 2.4. Corporate Opportunity Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and subject to applicable legal requirements and any express agreement that may from time to time be in effect after the date hereof, the Company agrees that the Covered Persons may, and shall have no duty not to, (i) invest in, carry on and conduct, whether directly, or as a partner in any partnership, or as a joint venturer in any joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, equityholder or investor in any Person, or as a participant in any syndicate, pool, trust or association, any business of any kind, nature or description, whether or not such business is competitive with or in the same or similar lines of business as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) do business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the Company or its Affiliates, and/or (iii) make investments in any kind of property in which the Company or its Subsidiaries may make investments. To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the DGCL or any other Applicable Law in the event that the applicable entity is not incorporated, formed or organized as a corporation in the State of Delaware, the Company (for itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates) hereby renounces any interest or expectancy to participate in any business, business opportunity, transaction, investment or other matter (each, a “Business Opportunity”) of any Covered Person as currently conducted or as may be conducted in the future (or in which a Covered Person engages or seeks to engage), and waives any claim against a Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any

claim that such Covered Person is liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty or otherwise solely by reason of such Person’s participation in, or failure to offer or communicate to the Company, its Subsidiaries or any controlled Affiliates any information regarding, any such Business Opportunity. In the event that a Covered Person acquires knowledge of a potential Business Opportunity which may constitute a corporate opportunity for both (x) the Covered Person and (y) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates, the Covered Person shall not have any duty to offer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or controlled Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the DGCL or any other Applicable Law in the event that the applicable entity is not incorporated, formed or organized as a corporation in the State of Delaware, the Company (for itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates) hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in any potential Business Opportunity of which the Covered Person acquires knowledge (or engages in or seeks to engage or with respect to which takes any of the actions specified in clause (A) or (B) below), except for any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered in writing to such Covered Person solely in his or her capacity as a director or, if applicable, officer of the Company, and waives any claim against each Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any claim, that such Covered Person is liable to the Company or its stockholders (or any Subsidiary or controlled Affiliate) for breach of any fiduciary duty or otherwise solely by reason of the fact that such Covered Person (A) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for its own account or the account of any Affiliate or other Person, (B) directs, recommends, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers such corporate opportunity to another Person or (C) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity or offer such corporate opportunity to the Company, its Subsidiaries or any controlled Affiliate. The Company shall pay in advance any expenses incurred in defense of such claim as provided in this provision, except to the extent that a Covered Person is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a Delaware court having competent jurisdiction (or any other judgment which is not appealed in the applicable time) to have breached this Section 2.4, in which case any such advanced expenses shall be promptly reimbursed to the Company.

(b) The Stockholders agree that they will, if requested by the Company, deliver at their expense to the Company an opinion of reputable U.S. counsel selected by the Stockholder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and counsel for the Company, that any Transfer made, other than in connection with an SEC-registered offering by the Company or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, does not require registration under the Securities Act.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 5.1. Termination. Subject to the early termination of any provision as a result of an amendment to this Agreement agreed to by the Board and the Stockholders as provided under Section 5.2, (i) the provisions of Article II, Article III and Article IV shall, with respect to each Stockholder, terminate as provided in the applicable Section of Article II, Article III and Article IV, as the case may be, and (ii) this Article V shall not terminate. Nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for the breach of any of the agreements set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 5.2. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification, amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the approval of the Board, Amberjack and the Stockholders holding a majority of the Stockholder Shares; provided, however, that any Stockholder may waive (in writing) the benefit of any provision of this Agreement with respect to itself for any purpose; provided, further, that any such modification, amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement or waiver that would disproportionately and adversely affect the rights of any Stockholder hereunder (in its capacity as a Stockholder) without similarly affecting the rights hereunder of all Stockholders (in their capacities as Stockholders) having the same rights or obligations under this Agreement to which such modification, amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement or waiver relates, as the case may be, shall not be effective as to

such Stockholder without such Stockholder’s prior written consent. Any written amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, or waiver to this Agreement that receives the vote or consent of the Stockholders provided herein need not be signed by all Stockholders, but shall be effective in accordance with its terms and shall be binding upon all Stockholders.

SECTION 5.3. Successors, Assigns and Transferees. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned without the express prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any attempted assignment, without such consents, will be null and void; provided, however, that the Stockholders shall be entitled to assign, in whole or in part, any of their rights hereunder to any of their respective Permitted Transferees without such prior written consent; provided further, however, that any such assignment shall not relieve such transferring Stockholder from, and who shall remain responsible for, any of its obligations hereunder (unless and to the extent actually performed in full by such Permitted Transferee).

SECTION 5.4. Rights of Third Parties. The rights of the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement are personal to the Stockholders and shall not be exercised by any Person.

SECTION 5.6. Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.

SECTION 5.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no agreements, representations, warranties, covenants or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof other than those expressly set forth herein and therein. This Agreement supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

SECTION 5.8. Restrictions on Other Agreements; Bylaws. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of this Agreement shall be controlling if any such provisions or the operation thereof conflict with the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws. Each of the Stockholders covenants and agrees to vote their Equity Securities and to take any other action reasonably requested by the Company or any other Stockholder to amend the Company’s Bylaws so as to avoid any conflict with the provisions hereof.

SECTION 5.9. Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party hereto of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on

such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

SECTION 5.10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement and any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that State, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction.

(b) In any judicial proceeding involving any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of the parties unconditionally accepts the jurisdiction and venue of the Delaware Court of Chancery or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over this matter, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) or, if jurisdiction over the matter is vested exclusively in federal courts, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and the appellate courts to which orders and judgments thereof may be appealed. In any such judicial proceeding, the parties agree that in addition to any method for the service of process permitted or required by such courts, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, service of process may be made by delivery provided pursuant to the directions in Section 5.5.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 5.11. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

SECTION 5.12. Enforcement. Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

SECTION 5.13. Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

SECTION 5.14. No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or cause of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may be made only against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto, and no past, present or future Affiliate, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or representative of any party hereto shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 5.15. Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

SECTION 5.16. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective at the Effective Time.

The Committee shall have full and final authority, in each case, subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to (1) select Eligible Persons to become Participants; (2) grant Awards; (3) determine the type, number, and type of shares of Stock subject to, other terms and conditions of, and all other matters relating to, Awards; (4) prescribe Award Agreements (which need not be identical for each Participant) and rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan; (5) determine the method by which an Award may be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited, suspended, or repurchased by the Company; (6) determine the circumstances under which the delivery of cash, property, or other amounts payable with respect to an Award may be deferred, either automatically or at the Participant’s or Committee’s election; (7) accelerate the vesting, delivery or exercisability of, or payment for or lapse of restrictions on, or waive any condition in respect of, Awards; (8) construe, administer, and interpret the Plan and Award Agreements and correct defects, supply omissions, and reconcile inconsistencies therein; (9) suspend the right to exercise Awards during any period that the Committee deems appropriate to comply with applicable securities laws, and thereafter extend the exercise period of an Award by an equivalent period of time or such shorter period required by, or necessary to comply with, applicable law; and (10) make all other decisions and determinations as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Any action of the Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all Persons, including, without limitation, the Company, its stockholders and Affiliates, Eligible Persons, Participants, and beneficiaries of Participants. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall have the ability to accelerate the vesting of any outstanding Award at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to upon a Corporate Event, subject to Section 10(d), or in the event of a Participant’s Termination by the Service Recipient other than for Cause, or due to the Participant’s death, Disability, or retirement (as such term may be defined in an applicable Award Agreement or Participant Agreement or, if no such definition exists, in accordance with the Company’s then-current employment policies and guidelines). For the avoidance of doubt, the Board shall have the authority to take all actions under the Plan that the Committee is permitted to take.

(b) Manner of Exercise of Committee Authority. At any time that a member of the Committee is not a Qualified Member, any action of the Committee relating to an Award granted or to be granted to a Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act in respect of the Company must be taken by the remaining members of the Committee or a subcommittee, designated by the Committee or the Board, composed solely of two or more Qualified Members (a “Qualifying Committee”). Any action authorized by such a Qualifying Committee shall be deemed the action of the Committee for purposes of the Plan. The express grant of any specific power to a Qualifying Committee, and the taking of any action by such a Qualifying Committee, shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the Committee.

(c) Delegation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may delegate to officers or employees of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform such functions under the Plan, including, but not limited to, administrative functions, as the Committee may determine appropriate. The Committee may appoint agents to assist it in administering the Plan. Any actions taken by an officer or employee delegated authority pursuant to this Section 3(c) within the scope of such delegation shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to be an action taken by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Award granted under the Plan to any Eligible Person who is not an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates (including any non-employee director of the Company or any Affiliate) or to any Eligible Person who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act must be expressly approved by the Committee or Qualifying Committee in accordance with Section 3(b) above.

(d) Sections 409A of the Code. The Committee shall take into account compliance with Section 409A of the Code in connection with any grant of an Award under the Plan, to the extent applicable. The Plan and Awards are intended to comply with or be exempt from the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be limited, construed, and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, it shall be paid in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including proposed, temporary, or final regulations or any other guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any provision in the Plan that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be deemed to be amended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and, to the extent such provision cannot be amended to comply therewith or be exempt therefrom, such provision shall be null and void. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) as a result of such employee’s “separation from service” (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A of the Code) shall be delayed for the first six (6) months following such separation from service (or, if earlier, until the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award Agreement) upon expiration of such delay period. While the Awards granted hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the imposition of any penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code or any similar state or local laws (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A of the Code).

4.	Shares Available Under the Plan; Other Limitations.

(a) Number of Shares Available for Delivery. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 hereof, the following limitations apply to the grant of Awards: no more than a number shares of Stock equal to 5% of the fully-diluted shares of Stock outstanding at the time the Plan becomes effective may be reserved for issuance and delivered in the aggregate pursuant to Awards under the Plan (the “Share Pool”). Shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall consist of authorized and unissued shares, shares held in the treasury of the Company, or previously issued shares of Stock reacquired by the Company on the open market or by private purchase, or a combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Pool shall not be reduced by shares issued pursuant to Awards issued or assumed in connection with a merger or acquisition as contemplated by, as applicable, NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c) and IM-5635-1, AMEX Company Guide Section 711, or other applicable stock exchange rules, and their respective successor rules and listing exchange promulgations (each such Award, a “Substitute Award”).

(b) Share Counting Rules. The Share Pool shall be reduced, on the date of grant, by the relevant number of shares of Stock for each Award granted under the Plan that is valued by reference to a share of Stock; provided, that Awards that are valued by reference to shares of Stock but are required to be paid in cash pursuant to their terms shall not reduce the Share Pool. If and to the extent that Awards originating from the Share Pool terminate, expire, or

are cash-settled, canceled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised, vested, or settled, the shares of Stock subject to such Awards shall again be available for Awards under the Share Pool. For clarity, the following shares of Stock shall become available for issuance under the Plan: (i) shares of Stock tendered by the Participants, or withheld by the Company, as full or partial payment to the Company upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan; (ii) shares of Stock reserved for issuance upon the grant of Stock Appreciation Rights, to the extent that the number of reserved shares of Stock exceeds the number of shares of Stock actually issued upon the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Rights; and (iii) shares of Stock withheld by, or otherwise remitted to, the Company to satisfy a Participant’s tax withholding obligations upon the exercise, lapse of restrictions on, or settlement of, Awards granted under the Plan.

(c) Incentive Stock Options. No more than a number shares of Stock equal to 5% of the fully-diluted shares of Stock outstanding at the time the Plan becomes effective hereunder may be issued or transferred upon exercise or settlement of Incentive Stock Options.

The exercise price per share of Stock for each Option shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant, subject to Section 5(g) hereof in the case of any Incentive Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of Stock for such Option may be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant; provided, that, such exercise price is determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and, if applicable, Section 424(a) of the Code.

(d) Payment for Stock. Payment for shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Option granted hereunder shall be made in full upon exercise of the Option in a manner approved by the Committee, which may include any of the following payment methods: (1) in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, or by certified or bank cashier’s check; (2) by delivery of shares of Stock having a value equal to the exercise price; (3) by a broker-assisted cashless exercise in accordance with procedures approved by the Committee, whereby payment of the Option exercise price or tax withholding obligations may be satisfied, in whole or in part, with shares of Stock subject to the Option by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate exercise price and, if applicable, the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s withholding obligations; or (4) by any other means approved by the Committee (including, by delivery of a notice of “net exercise” to the Company, pursuant to which the Participant shall receive (i) the number of shares of Stock underlying the Option so exercised, reduced by (ii) the number of shares of Stock equal to (A) the aggregate exercise price of the Option divided by (B) the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Committee determines that any form of payment available hereunder would be in violation of Section 402 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, such form of payment shall not be available.

(e) Vesting. Options shall vest and become exercisable (subject to Section 20(f) hereof) in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of performance or other conditions (subject to Section 20(f) hereof), in each case, as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in an Option Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of an Option shall occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any or no reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment. If an Option is exercisable in installments, such installments or portions thereof that become exercisable shall remain exercisable until the Option expires, is canceled, or otherwise terminates.

(f) Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in an Option Agreement, Participant Agreement, or otherwise:

(1) In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date for any reason other than (i) by the Service Recipient for Cause, or (ii) by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, (A) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Options outstanding shall cease; (B) all of such Participant’s unvested Options outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination; and (C) all of such Participant’s vested Options outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier of (x) the applicable Expiration Date, and (y) the date that is 90 days after the date of such Termination.

(3) In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by the Service Recipient for Cause, all of such Participant’s Options outstanding (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination.

(g) Special Provisions Applicable to Incentive Stock Options.

(1) No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any Eligible Person who, at the time the Option is granted, owns directly, or indirectly within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code, Stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary thereof, unless such Incentive Stock Option (i) has an exercise price of at least 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of the grant of such Option, and (ii) cannot be exercised more than five years after the date it is granted.

(2) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Stock for which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds $100,000, such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.

(3) Each Participant who receives an Incentive Stock Option must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Participant makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.

6.	Restricted Stock.

(a) General. Restricted Stock may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Awards of Restricted Stock shall be set forth in separate Restricted Stock Agreements, which Restricted Stock Agreements need not be identical. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(b) hereof, and except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, the Participant shall generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise set forth in a Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement, cash dividends and stock dividends, if any, with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be withheld by the Company for the Participant’s account, and shall be subject to forfeiture to the same degree as the shares of Restricted Stock to which such dividends relate. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no interest will accrue or be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld.

(b) Vesting and Restrictions on Transfer. Restricted Stock shall vest in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of performance or other conditions, in each case, as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of an Award of Restricted Stock shall occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any or no reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment. In addition to any other restrictions set forth in a Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber the Restricted Stock prior to the time the Restricted Stock has vested pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Agreement.

(c) Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in a Restricted Stock Agreement, Participant Agreement, or otherwise, in the event of a Participant’s Termination for any or no reason prior to the time that such Participant’s Restricted Stock has vested, (1) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Restricted Stock outstanding shall cease; and (2) as soon as practicable following such Termination, the Company shall repurchase from the Participant, and the Participant shall sell, all of such Participant’s unvested shares of Restricted Stock at a purchase price equal to the lesser of (A) the original purchase price paid for the Restricted Stock (as adjusted for any subsequent changes in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure of the Company), less any dividends or other distributions or bonus received (or to be received) by the Participant (or any transferee) in respect of such Restricted Stock prior to the date of repurchase, and (B) the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of such repurchase; provided that, if the original purchase price paid for the Restricted Stock is equal to zero dollars ($0), such unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Company by the Participant for no consideration as of the date of such Termination.

7.	Restricted Stock Units.

(a) General. Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Restricted Stock Units shall be set forth in separate RSU Agreements, which RSU Agreements need not be identical.

(b) Vesting. Restricted Stock Units shall vest in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of performance or other conditions, in each case, as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in an RSU Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit shall occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any or no reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment.

(c) Settlement. Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in Stock, cash, or property, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, on the date or dates determined by the Committee and set forth in an RSU Agreement. Unless otherwise set forth in a Participant’s RSU Agreement, a Participant shall not be entitled to dividends, if any, or dividend equivalents with respect to Restricted Stock Units prior to settlement.

(d) Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in an RSU Agreement, Participant Agreement, or otherwise, in the event of a Participant’s Termination for any or no reason prior to the time that such Participant’s Restricted Stock Units have been settled, (1) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Restricted Stock Units outstanding shall cease; (2) all of such Participant’s unvested Restricted Stock Units outstanding shall be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination; and (3) any shares remaining undelivered with respect to vested Restricted Stock Units then held by such Participant shall be delivered on the delivery date or dates specified in the RSU Agreement.

8.	Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) General. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate (subject to Section 20(f) hereof). The provisions of separate Stock Appreciation Rights shall be set forth in separate SAR Agreements, which SAR Agreements need not be identical. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Stock Appreciation Rights.

(b) Term. The term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant; provided, however, that no Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder shall be exercisable after, and each Stock Appreciation Right shall expire, ten years from the date it was granted.

(c) Base Price. The base price per share of Stock for each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right that is a Substitute Award, the base price per share of Stock for such Stock Appreciation Right may be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant; provided, that, such base price is determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

(d) Vesting. Stock Appreciation Rights shall vest and become exercisable (subject to Section 20(f) hereof) in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of performance or other conditions (subject to Section 20(f) hereof), in each case, as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in a SAR Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of a Stock Appreciation Right shall occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any or no reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment. If a Stock Appreciation Right is exercisable in installments, such installments, or portions thereof that become exercisable shall remain exercisable until the Stock Appreciation Right expires, is canceled, or otherwise terminates.

(e) Payment upon Exercise. Payment upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be made in cash, Stock, or property, as specified in the SAR Agreement or determined by the Committee, in each case, having a value in respect of each share of Stock underlying the portion of the Stock Appreciation Right so exercised, equal to the difference between the base price of such Stock Appreciation Right and the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the exercise date. For purposes of clarity, each share of Stock to be issued in settlement of a Stock Appreciation Right is deemed to have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the exercise date. In no event shall fractional shares be issuable upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, and in the event that fractional shares would otherwise be issuable, the number of shares issuable will be rounded down to the next lower whole number of shares, and the Participant will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the value of such fractional share.

(f) Termination of Employment or Service. Except as provided by the Committee in a SAR Agreement, Participant Agreement, or otherwise:

(1) In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date for any reason other than (i) by the Service Recipient for Cause, or (ii) by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability, (A) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall cease; (B) all of such Participant’s unvested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination; and (C) all of such Participant’s vested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier of (x) the applicable Expiration Date, and (y) the date that is 90 days after the date of such Termination.

(2) In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by reason of such Participant’s death or Disability, (i) all vesting with respect to such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall cease; (ii) all of such Participant’s unvested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination; and (iii) all of such Participant’s vested Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding shall terminate and be forfeited for no consideration on the earlier of (x) the applicable Expiration Date, and (y) the date that is 12 months after the date of such Termination.

(3) In the event of a Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration Date by the Service Recipient for Cause, all of such Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding (whether or not vested) shall immediately terminate and be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of such Termination.

9.	Unrestricted shares of Stock and Other Stock-Based Awards.

The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based upon or related to Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee may also grant Stock as a bonus (whether or not subject to any vesting requirements or other restrictions on transfer), and may grant other Awards in lieu of obligations of the Company or an Affiliate to pay cash or deliver other property under the Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Committee. The terms and conditions applicable to such Awards shall be determined by the Committee and evidenced by Award Agreements, which agreements need not be identical.

10.	Adjustment for Recapitalization, Merger, etc.

(a) Capitalization Adjustments. The aggregate number and class of shares of Stock or other securities that may be delivered in connection with Awards (as set forth in Section 4 hereof), the numerical share limits in Section 4(a) hereof, the number and class of shares of Stock or other securities covered by each outstanding Award, and the price per share of Stock underlying each such Award shall be equitably and proportionally adjusted or substituted, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as to the number, price, or kind of a share of Stock, other securities or other consideration subject to such Awards, (1) in the event of changes in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of stock dividends, extraordinary cash dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in capitalization (including any Corporate Event); (2) in connection with any extraordinary dividend declared and paid in respect of shares of Stock, whether payable in the form of cash, stock, or any other form of consideration; or (3) in the event of any change in applicable laws or circumstances that results in or could result in, in either case, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights intended to be granted to, or available for, Participants in the Plan. In lieu of or in addition to any adjustment pursuant to this Section 10, if deemed appropriate, the Committee may provide that an adjustment take the form of a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award with respect to all or part of an outstanding Award, which payment shall be subject to such terms and conditions (including timing of payment(s), vesting, and forfeiture conditions) as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. The Committee will make such adjustments, substitutions, or payment, and its determination will be final, binding, and conclusive. The Committee need not take the same action or actions with respect to all Awards or portions thereof or with respect to all Participants. The Committee may take different actions with respect to the vested and unvested portions of an Award.

(b) Corporate Events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, Participant Agreement, or otherwise, in connection with (i) a merger, amalgamation, or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation; (ii) a merger, amalgamation, or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the holders of shares of Stock receive securities of another corporation or other property or cash; (iii) a Change in Control; or (iv) the reorganization, dissolution, or liquidation of the Company (each, a “Corporate Event”), the Committee may provide for any one or more of the following:

(1) The assumption or substitution of any or all Awards in connection with such Corporate Event, in which case the Awards shall be subject to the adjustment set forth in Section 10(a) hereof, and to the extent that such Awards vest subject to the achievement of performance criteria, such performance criteria shall be deemed earned at target level (or if no target is specified, the maximum level) and will be converted into solely service based vesting awards that will vest during the performance period, if any, during which the original performance criteria would have been measured;

(2) The acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event, subject to the consummation of such Corporate Event; provided that unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, any Awards that vest subject to the achievement of performance criteria will be deemed earned at target level (or if no target is specified, the maximum level), provided, further, that a Participant has not experienced a Termination prior to such Corporate Event;

(3) The cancellation of any or all Awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event (whether vested or unvested) as of the consummation of such Corporate Event, together with the payment to the Participants holding vested Awards (including any Awards that would vest upon the Corporate Event but for such cancellation) so canceled of an amount in respect of cancellation equal to an amount based upon the per-share consideration being paid for the Stock in connection with such Corporate Event, less, in the case of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards subject to exercise, the applicable exercise or base price; provided, however, that holders of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards subject to exercise shall be entitled to consideration in respect of cancellation of such Awards only if the per-share consideration less the applicable exercise or base price is greater than zero dollars ($0), and to the extent that the per-share consideration is less than or equal to the applicable exercise or base price, such Awards shall be canceled for no consideration;

(4) The cancellation of any or all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards subject to exercise not assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event (whether vested or unvested) as of the consummation of such Corporate Event; provided, that, all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards to be so canceled pursuant to this paragraph (4) shall first become exercisable for a period of at least ten days prior to such Corporate Event, with any exercise during such period of any unvested Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, or other Awards to be (A) contingent upon and subject to the occurrence of the Corporate Event, and (B) effectuated by such means as are approved by the Committee; and

(5) The replacement of any or all Awards (other than Awards that are intended to qualify as “stock rights” that do not provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) with a cash incentive program that preserves the value of the Awards so replaced (determined as of the consummation of the Corporate Event), with subsequent payment of cash incentives subject to the same vesting conditions as applicable to the Awards so replaced and payment to be made within 30 days of the applicable vesting date.

Payments to holders pursuant to paragraph (3) above shall be made in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, and to the extent applicable, in the form of such other consideration necessary for a Participant to receive property, cash, or securities (or a combination thereof) as such Participant would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the Participant had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of shares of Stock covered by the Award at such time (less any applicable exercise or base price). In addition, in connection with any Corporate Event, prior to any payment or adjustment contemplated under this Section 10(b), the Committee may require a Participant to (A) represent and warrant as to the unencumbered title to his or her Awards; (B) bear such Participant’s pro-rata share of any post-closing indemnity obligations, and be subject to the same post-closing purchase price adjustments, escrow terms, offset rights, holdback terms, and similar conditions as

the other holders of Stock; and (C) deliver customary transfer documentation as reasonably determined by the Committee. The Committee need not take the same action or actions with respect to all Awards or portions thereof or with respect to all Participants. The Committee may take different actions with respect to the vested and unvested portions of an Award.

(c) Fractional Shares. Any adjustment provided under this Section 10 may, in the Committee’s discretion, provide for the elimination of any fractional share that might otherwise become subject to an Award. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares so eliminated.

11.	Use of Proceeds.

The proceeds received from the sale of Stock pursuant to the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

12.	Rights and Privileges as a Stockholder.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Person shall be entitled to the rights and privileges of Stock ownership in respect of shares of Stock that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued to that Person.

13.	Transferability of Awards.

Awards may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and to the extent subject to exercise, Awards may not be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee other than by the grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to Incentive Stock Options, Awards and a Participant’s rights under the Plan shall be transferable for no value to the extent provided in an Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Committee.

14.	Employment or Service Rights.

No individual shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for the grant of any other Award. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant or other individual any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

15.	Compliance with Laws.

The obligation of the Company to deliver Stock upon issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any shares of Stock pursuant to an Award, unless such shares have been properly registered for sale with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act (or with a similar non-U.S. regulatory agency pursuant to a similar law or regulation), or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale or resale under the Securities Act any of the shares of Stock to be offered or sold under the Plan or any shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise or settlement of Awards. If the shares of Stock offered for sale or sold under the Plan are offered or sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares and may legend the Stock certificates representing such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

16.	Withholding Obligations.

As a condition to the issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award (or upon the making of an election under Section 83(b) of the Code), the Committee may require that a Participant satisfy, through deduction or withholding from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant, or through such other arrangements as are satisfactory to the Committee, the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign income and other taxes of any kind required or permitted to be withheld in connection with such issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement (or election). The Committee, in its discretion, may (but is not obligated to) permit or require shares of Stock (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) to be used to satisfy all or any portion of applicable tax withholding requirements with respect to any Award, and such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement date of the Award, as applicable. The shares of Stock so delivered or withheld must have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the tax obligation (or portion thereof). Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold by considering the applicable minimum statutorily required withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates in the applicable Participant’s jurisdiction, including maximum applicable rates that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor pronouncement thereto) and is permitted under applicable withholding rules promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service or another applicable governmental entity.

17.	Amendment of the Plan or Awards.

(a) Amendment of Plan. The Board or the Committee may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time.

(b) Amendment of Awards. The Board or the Committee may amend the terms of any one or more Awards at any time and from time to time.

(c) Stockholder Approval; No Material Impairment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment to the Plan or any Award shall be effective without stockholder approval to the extent that such approval is required pursuant to applicable law or the applicable rules of each national securities exchange on which the Stock is listed. Additionally, no amendment to the Plan or any Award shall materially impair a Participant’s rights under any Award unless the Participant consents in writing (it being understood that no action taken by the Board or the Committee that is expressly permitted under the Plan, including, without limitation, any actions described in Section 10 hereof, shall constitute an amendment to the Plan or an Award for such purpose). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the limitations of applicable law, if any, and without an affected Participant’s consent, the Board or the Committee may amend the terms of the Plan or any one or more Awards from time to time as necessary to bring such Awards into compliance with applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code.

(d) No Repricing of Awards Without Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding Sections 17(a) or 17(b) above, or any other provision of the Plan, reducing the exercise price of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights issued and outstanding under the Plan, including through amendment, cancellation in exchange for the grant of a substitute Award, repurchase for cash or other consideration (in each case that has the effect of reducing the exercise price), or any other action that would be treated as a “repricing” of such Options or such Stock Appreciation Rights under GAAP, will require approval of the Company’s stockholders, unless the cancellation, exchange, repurchase or other action occurs in connection with an event set forth in Section 10 hereof.

18.	Termination or Suspension of the Plan.

The Board or the Committee may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated; provided, however, that following any suspension or termination of the Plan, the Plan shall remain in effect for the purpose of governing all Awards then outstanding hereunder until such time as all Awards under the Plan have been terminated, forfeited, or otherwise canceled, or earned, exercised, settled, or otherwise paid out, in accordance with their terms.

19.	Effective Date of the Plan.

The Plan was approved by the Board on March 15, 2024, and shall become effective upon approval by the Company’s shareholders (the date of such approval is referred to as the “Effective Date”).

20.	Miscellaneous.

(a) Treatment of Dividends and Dividend Equivalents on Unvested Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that provides for or includes a right to dividends or dividend equivalents, if dividends are declared during the period that an equity Award is outstanding, such dividends (or dividend equivalents) shall either (i) not be paid or credited with respect to such Award, or (ii) be accumulated but remain subject to vesting requirement(s) to the same extent as the applicable Award and shall only be paid at the time or times such vesting requirement(s) are satisfied. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no interest will accrue or be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

(b) Certificates. Stock acquired pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the Committee may require that (1) such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Stock; (2) the Company retain physical possession of the certificates; and (3) the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, that the Stock shall be held in book-entry form rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of any applicable restrictions.

(c) Other Benefits. No Award granted or paid out under the Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or its Affiliates nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation.

(d) Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Awards. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of an Award to any Participant will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant. In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Committee consents, resolutions, or minutes) documenting the corporate action constituting the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule, or number of shares of Stock) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement as a result of a clerical error in connection with the preparation of the Award Agreement, the corporate records will control, and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement.

(e) Clawback/Recoupment Policy. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all Awards granted under the Plan shall be and remain subject to any incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy in effect as of the Effective Date or as may be adopted by the Board (or a committee or subcommittee of the Board) and, in each case, as may be amended from time to time. No such policy adoption or amendment shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates. In the event that an Award is subject to more than one such policy, the policy with the most restrictive clawback or recoupment provisions shall govern such Award, subject to applicable law.

(f) Non-Exempt Employees. If an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right is granted to an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates in the United States who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the Option or the Stock Appreciation Right will not be first exercisable for any shares of Stock until at least six (6) months following the date of grant of the Option or the Stock Appreciation Right (although the Option or the Stock Appreciation Right may vest prior to such date). To the extent that the vesting of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right is based on the performance of a business unit of the Company or a Participant, the determinations with respect to such performance of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right for purposes of this Section 20(f) must be made based on (i) future performance meeting previously described criteria (e.g., hours of work, efficiency or productivity) or (ii) the Participant’s past performance, which shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Consistent with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity Act, (1) if such employee dies or suffers a Disability; (2) upon a Corporate Event in which such Option or Stock Appreciation Right is not assumed, continued, or substituted; (3) upon a Change in Control; or (4) upon the Participant’s retirement (as such term may be defined in the applicable Award Agreement or a Participant Agreement or, if no such definition exists, in accordance with the Company’s then current employment policies and guidelines), the vested portion of any Options or Stock

Appreciation Rights held by such employee may be exercised earlier than six months following the date of grant. The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay. To the extent permitted and/or required for compliance with the Worker Economic Opportunity Act to ensure that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise, vesting, or issuance of any shares under any other Award will be exempt from such employee’s regular rate of pay, the provisions of this Section 20(f) will apply to all Awards.

(g) Data Privacy. As a condition of receipt of any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 20(g) by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Affiliates, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. In furtherance of such implementation, administration, and management, the Company and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title(s), information regarding any securities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and details of all Awards (the “Data”). In addition to transferring the Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, the Company and its Affiliates may each transfer the Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. Recipients of the Data may be located in the Participant’s country or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country and any given recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any shares of Stock. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data held by the Company with respect to such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data with respect to such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data with respect to the Participant, or refuse or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Company may cancel the Participant’s eligibility to participate in the Plan, and in the Committee’s discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents described herein. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.

(h) Participants Outside of the United States. The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under the Plan made to or held by a Participant who is then a resident, or is primarily employed or providing services, outside of the United States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which the Participant is then a resident or primarily employed or providing services, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award to the Participant, as affected by non–U.S. tax laws and other restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant’s residence, employment, or providing services abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such Award to a Participant who is a resident, or is primarily employed or providing services, in the United States. An Award may be modified under this Section 20(h) in a manner that is inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any applicable law or regulation or result in actual liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for the Participant whose Award is modified. Additionally, the Committee may adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Eligible Persons who are non–U.S. nationals or are primarily employed or providing services outside the United States.

(i) No Liability of Committee Members. Neither any member of the Committee nor any of the Committee’s permitted delegates shall be liable personally by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his or her behalf in his or her capacity as a member of the Committee or for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer, or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against all costs and expenses (including counsel fees) and

liabilities (including sums paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such Person’s own fraud or willful misconduct; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such Person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such Persons may be entitled under the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws, each as may be amended from time to time, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

(j) Payments Following Accidents or Illness. If the Committee shall find that any Person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such Person or his or her estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his or her spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such Person, or any other Person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such Person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.

(k) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of State of Delaware, without reference to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

(l) Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document or “writing” will include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled or authorized by the Company to which the Participant has access) to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(m) Arbitration. All disputes and claims of any nature that a Participant (or such Participant’s transferee or estate) may have against the Company arising out of or in any way related to the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be submitted to and resolved exclusively by binding arbitration conducted in the State of Delaware (or such other location as the parties thereto may agree) in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, and the arbitration shall be heard and determined by a panel of three arbitrators in accordance with such rules (except that in the event of any inconsistency between such rules and this Section 20(m), the provisions of this Section 20(n) shall control). The arbitration panel may not modify the arbitration rules specified above without the prior written approval of all parties to the arbitration. Within ten business days after the receipt of a written demand, each party shall designate one arbitrator, each of whom shall have experience involving complex business or legal matters, but shall not have any prior, existing, or potential material business relationship with any party to the arbitration. The two arbitrators so designated shall select a third arbitrator, who shall preside over the arbitration, shall be similarly qualified as the two arbitrators, and shall have no prior, existing or potential material business relationship with any party to the arbitration; provided, that, if the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon the selection of such third arbitrator, such third arbitrator shall be designated in accordance with the arbitration rules referred to above. The arbitrators will decide the dispute by majority decision, and the decision shall be rendered in writing and shall bear the signatures of the arbitrators and the party or parties who shall be charged therewith, or the allocation of the expenses among the parties in the discretion of the panel. The arbitration decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but in any event not later than 120 days after the constitution of the arbitration panel. The arbitration decision shall be final and binding upon all parties to the arbitration. The parties hereto agree that judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitration panel may be entered in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or any Delaware state court sitting in the State of Delaware. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties hereby irrevocably waive any right of appeal from any judgment rendered upon any such arbitration award in any such court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may seek injunctive relief in any such court.

(n) Statute of Limitations. A Participant or any other person filing a claim for benefits under the Plan must file the claim within one year of the date the Participant or other person knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the claim. This one-year statute of limitations will apply in any forum where a Participant or any other person may file a claim and, unless the Company waives the time limits set forth above in its sole discretion, any claim not brought within the time periods specified shall be waived and forever barred.

(o) Funding. No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company be required to maintain separate bank accounts, books, records, or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees and service providers under general law.

(p) Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying, acting, or failing to act, and shall not be liable for having so relied, acted, or failed to act in good faith, upon any report made by the independent public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any Person or Persons other than such member.

(q) Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
