THE OFFER

SECTION 2.01 The Offer.

(a) Commencement and Term of the Offer. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Agreement Date), Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, commence (within the meaning of the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC) the Offer at the Offer Price. The obligations of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, irrevocably accept for payment, and pay for, any shares of the Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth on Exhibit A (the “Offer Conditions”). The initial expiration date of the Offer shall be at the time that is one minute following 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) of the Exchange Act) after the date the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act). Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to waive, in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition or modify the terms of the Offer in any manner not inconsistent with this Agreement, except that the Minimum Tender Condition shall not be waived, and, without the prior written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to, (i) reduce the number of shares of the Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price below the Base Price Per Share, (iii) waive, amend or modify the Termination Condition, (iv) add to the Offer Conditions or impose any other conditions on the Offer or amend, modify or supplement any Offer Condition in any manner adverse to the holders of the Company Common Stock, (v) except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.01, terminate, or extend or otherwise amend or modify the expiration date of, the Offer, (vi) change the form or terms of consideration payable in the Offer (provided that the determination of the final Cash Amount pursuant to the terms of this Agreement above the Base Price Per Share shall not constitute such a change), (vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the terms of the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of the Company Common Stock or (viii) provide any “subsequent offering period” in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, (A) Merger Sub may elect to (and if so requested by the Company, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to), extend the Offer for one or more consecutive increments of such duration as requested by the Company (or if not so requested by the Company, as determined by Parent), but not more than ten (10) Business Days each (or for such longer period as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company), if (I) at the scheduled expiration date of the Offer any of the Offer Conditions (including the Minimum Tender Condition) shall not have been satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder), until such time as such conditions shall have been satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder), (II) at the scheduled expiration date of the Offer Section 2.01(d)(v) applies as to the determination of the Closing Net Cash and the resolution of the matters described in Section 2.01(d)(vi) has not been finalized or (III) the Company shall have consummated a Permitted Disposition subsequent to its most recent delivery of the Closing Cash Schedule, to allow for a the delivery of an updated Closing Cash Schedule pursuant to Section 2.01(d)(ii) (which updated Closing Cash Schedule shall supersede any Closing Cash Schedule previously delivered), provided that, if the Offer has previously been extended twice pursuant to this clause (III) at the Company’s request then the mutual agreement of Merger Sub and the Company shall be required for any further extension pursuant to this clause (III), and (B) Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer for the minimum period required by any rule, regulation or interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof or Nasdaq, in each case that are applicable to the Offer; provided that Merger Sub shall not, and shall not be required to, extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date and, in the case of the Minimum Tender Condition being the only condition not satisfied under clause (I) of the foregoing (other than conditions that by their nature are only satisfied as of the Offer Closing Time), Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub to extend the Offer to a date later than the Outside Date.

On the terms and subject only to the conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, irrevocably accept for payment, and pay for, all shares of the Company Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Offer and, in any event, no more than three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the Offer. The time at which Xxxxxx Sub first irrevocably accepts for purchase the shares of the Company Common Stock tendered in the Offer is referred to as the “Offer Closing Time.” The Offer may not be terminated or withdrawn prior to its expiration date (as such expiration date may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Section 2.01(a)), unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.01. If this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, Merger Sub shall promptly and irrevocably terminate the Offer and return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, all tendered shares of the Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof. Nothing contained in this Section 2.01(a) shall affect any termination rights set forth in Section 9.01.

(b) Schedule TO; Offer Documents. As promptly as reasonably practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which shall include an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal and summary advertisement containing the terms set forth in this Agreement and Exhibit A (such Schedule TO, as amended from time to time, and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) disseminate the Offer Documents to the holders of the Company Common Stock as and to the extent required by applicable Law.

Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly provide the Company and its counsel with copies of any written comments, and shall inform the Company and its counsel of any oral comments, that Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments. Except from and after an Adverse Recommendation Change, prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or the dissemination thereof to the holders of the Company Common Stock, or responding to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Sub shall (A) provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response (it being understood that the Company and its counsel shall provide any comments thereon as soon as reasonably practicable) and (B) give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company or its counsel. Parent and Merger Sub shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents. In addition, Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Offer Documents (i) to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and (ii) to not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is made by Parent or Merger Sub with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Documents.

(c) Funding the Offer. Subject to Section 5.09, Parent shall be entitled to use or cause to be used some or all of the Closing Net Cash in order to pay (i) the Cash Amount with respect to each and any shares of the Company Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer and (ii) the Company Stock Option Cash Consideration and Restricted Stock Unit Cash Consideration payable in accordance with Section 3.10. Parent will notify the Company five (5) Business Days before the Merger Closing how much of the Closing Net Cash will be used to pay the foregoing.

(d) Confirmation of Closing Net Cash.

(i) If, between the Agreement Date and the Offer Closing Time, the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Offer Price shall be appropriately adjusted and such adjustment to the Offer Price shall provide to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

(ii) Except as otherwise contemplated in this Section 2.01(d), on the tenth (10th) Business Day before each then scheduled expiration of the Offer (including as extended pursuant to Section 2.01(a)), the Company shall deliver to Parent a schedule (the “Closing Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Company’s good faith, estimated calculation of Closing Net Cash (the “Closing Cash Calculation”) as of immediately prior to the Offer Closing Time (the “Cash Determination Time”) based on such scheduled expiration of the Offer. The Company shall make available to Parent, as reasonably requested by Parent, the work papers and back-up materials used or any other relevant information useful in preparing the Closing Cash Schedule, including close-out memos or other forms of written affirmation from vendors that either no more money is due or an amount of money is due that is reflected on the Closing Cash Schedule. If reasonably requested by Xxxxxx, access to the Company’s accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice will be provided by Company in order to permit Parent to review the Closing Cash Calculation. The Closing Cash Calculations shall include the Company’s determination, as of the Cash Determination Time, of the Cash Amount and each component thereof.

(iii) Parent shall have the right to dispute any part of the Closing Cash Calculation by delivering a written notice (for which email will suffice) (a “Dispute Notice”) to that effect to the Company on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the fifth (5^th) calendar day following Parent’s receipt of the Closing Cash Schedule (the “Response Time”), which Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the proposed Closing Cash Calculation and shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation for the basis for such revisions.

(iv) If, on or prior to the Response Time, Parent notifies the Company in writing that it has no objections to the Closing Cash Calculation or if Parent fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 2.01(d)(iii) prior to the Response Time, then the Closing Cash Calculation as set forth in the Closing Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and shall represent the Closing Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

(v) If Parent delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Time, then Representatives of the Company and Parent shall promptly (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the Closing Net Cash, which agreed upon Closing Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and shall represent the Closing Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

(vi) If Representatives of the Company and Parent are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Closing Net Cash as of the Cash Determination Time pursuant to Section 2.01(d)(v) within three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as the Company and Parent may mutually agree upon), then any remaining disagreements as to the calculation of Closing Net Cash shall be referred to for resolution to the San Francisco office of Xxxxx & Young LLP, or, if such accounting firm is unable to serve, the Company and Parent shall, within two (2) Business Days, appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than the Company’s accountants or Parent’s accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). The Company and Parent shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Closing

Cash Schedule and the Dispute Notice, and the Company and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within three (3) Business Days of accepting its selection. The Company and Parent shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any materials related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of the Company and Parent. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of Closing Net Cash made by the Accounting Firm shall be made in writing delivered to each of the Company and Parent, shall be final and binding on the Company and Parent and shall (absent manifest error) be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Closing Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. Parent shall cause Merger Sub to extend the expiration date of the Offer until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 2.01(d)(vi); provided, that Merger Sub shall not, and shall not be required to, extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Company and Parent in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Closing Net Cash that was unsuccessfully disputed by such party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Closing Net Cash amount and the Company’s portion of such fees and expenses shall be included in the calculation of Transaction Expenses. If this Section 2.01(d)(vi) applies as to the determination of the Closing Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time with respect to a scheduled expiration of the Offer, upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 2.01(d)(vi), the parties shall not be required to determine Closing Net Cash again (solely with respect to such applicable scheduled expiration of the Offer) even though such applicable expiration of the Offer may occur later.

(vii) The Cash Amount shall equal the quotient derived by dividing the (A) (1) the Closing Net Cash (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.01(d)), minus $9,500,000; by (B) the Company Outstanding Shares. The Additional Price Per Share shall equal the Cash Amount as determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, minus the Base Price Per Share.

Except from and after an Adverse Recommendation Change or in connection with any disclosures made in compliance with Section 6.02, prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or the dissemination thereof to the holders of the Company Common Stock, or responding to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall (x) provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response (it being understood that Parent and its counsel shall provide any comments thereon as soon as reasonably practicable) and (y) give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent or its counsel. The Company shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9. The Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer, the Merger and the Transactions and the inclusion in the Offer Documents of a description of the Special Committee Recommendation and the Company Board Recommendation (except to the extent that the Special Committee or the Company Board shall have withdrawn or modified the Special Committee Recommendation or the Company Board Recommendation, respectively, in accordance with Section 6.02(b)). In addition, the Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 (i) to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and (ii) to not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 14D-9.

The date of the list of stockholders used to determine the persons to whom the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 are first disseminated is referred to as the “Stockholder List Date.” Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Transactions, Parent and Merger Sub shall hold in confidence, in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, the information contained in any such labels, listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request, deliver to the Company or destroy (and shall direct their agents to deliver to the Company or destroy) all copies of such information (and certify in writing to the Company such destruction, if applicable).

SECTION 3.08 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of the Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancelation of Treasury Stock and Certain Other Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that (i) is owned by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) was owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent at the commencement of the Offer and is owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time or (iii) was irrevocably accepted for purchase in the Offer shall no longer be outstanding and, in each case, shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 3.08(b) and Section 3.08(d), each share of the Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), less any applicable tax withholding. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of the Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such shares of the Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.08(c), less any applicable tax withholding. For the avoidance of doubt, at the Effective Time, any repurchase rights of the Company or other similar restrictions on shares of Company Common Stock shall lapse in full and will be of no further force or effect, and all shares of Company Common Stock shall be fully vested as of the Effective Time.

(d) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares (“Appraisal Shares”) of the Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Appraisal Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.08(c), but instead, at the Effective Time, the Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262; provided that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 with respect to such Appraisal Shares or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to receive the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.08(c), less any applicable tax withholding. The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of the Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in, and direct all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. Prior to the Offer Closing Time, Parent shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Company, require the Company to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

SECTION 3.09 Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Paying Agent. Not less than three (3) Business Days before the Merger Closing Date, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Paying

Agent”) for the payment of the Cash Amount pursuant to Section 3.08(c). The Surviving Corporation will deposit with the Paying Agent, at or promptly after the Effective Time, out of Closing Net Cash, cash necessary to pay the Cash Amount, if any, beyond what has been contributed by Parent, in respect of the shares of the Company Common Stock that were converted into the right to receive cash pursuant to Section 3.08(c) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”).

(b) Payment Procedure. As promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days) after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.08(c) (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as are customary and reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Paying Agent for cancelation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor, the Merger Consideration into which the shares of the Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 3.08(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of the Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.09, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender, the Merger Consideration (without interest) into which the shares of the Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to Section 3.08(c). No interest shall be paid or accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(c) Treatment of Book-Entry Shares. No holder of record of Book-Entry Shares shall be required to deliver a Certificate or a letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of such Book-Entry Shares. In lieu thereof, such holder of record shall, upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration into which such Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to Section 3.08(c), and the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time to each such holder of record as of the Effective Time), an amount of U.S. dollars equal to the aggregate Cash Amount (without interest), less any applicable tax withholding, to which such holder is entitled hereunder, and such Book-Entry Shares shall forthwith be canceled. Payment of the Cash Amount with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(d) Adjustments. If, between the Agreement Date and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in the Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III as a result of the conversion of any shares of the Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of the Company

Common Stock. After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of the Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, such Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. Notwithstanding the requirements to surrender a Certificate contained in Section 3.09, if any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay, in exchange for the shares of the Company Common Stock formerly represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of such shares, less any applicable tax withholding.

(g) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains undistributed as of the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Merger Closing Date shall be delivered to the Company or its designated Affiliate, upon demand, and any former holder of the Company Common Stock entitled to payment of the Cash Amount who has not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Company or any successor-in-interest of the Company for payment of its claim for the Cash Amount (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and other similar Law).

(h) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate has not been surrendered prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such date become the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designated Affiliate, free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representative previously entitled thereto, subject to the claims of any former holder of the Company Common Stock entitled to payment of Merger Consideration who has not theretofore complied with this Article III.

(i) Investment of Payment Fund. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Xxxxxx. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09(i) and no investment losses resulting from the investment of the Payment Fund shall diminish the rights of the Company Stockholders entitled to payment of the Cash Amount to receive the Cash Amount. To the extent there are losses or the Payment Fund for any reason (including Appraisal Shares losing their status as such) is less than the level required to promptly pay the Cash Amount pursuant to Section 3.08(c), Parent shall replace, restore or add to the cash in the Payment Fund to ensure the prompt payment of the Cash Amount of the Merger Consideration. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and paid to, Parent or its designated Affiliate.

(j) Withholding Rights. Each of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the Offer such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Amounts so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made. Parent shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of any such deduction or withholding and (ii) cooperate with the Company and any holders of Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options or Company Restricted Stock Units to obtain any affidavits, certificates and other documents as may reasonably be expected to afford to the Company and such holders reduction of or relief from any such deduction or withholding.

SECTION 3.10 Equity Awards.

(a) As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that is then outstanding but not then vested or exercisable shall become immediately vested and exercisable in full.

(i) At the Effective Time, each In-the-Money Option that is then outstanding shall be canceled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive (A) an amount in cash without interest, less any applicable tax withholding, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the excess of the Cash Amount over the exercise price per share of the Company Common Stock underlying such Company Stock Option by (y) the number of shares of the Company Common Stock underlying such Company Stock Option (such amount, the “Company Stock Option Cash Consideration”) and (B) one CVR for each share of the Company Common Stock underlying such Company Stock Option. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Company Stock Option Cash Consideration at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time).

(ii) At the Effective Time, each Out-of-the-Money Option that is then outstanding shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive one CVR for each share of the Company Common Stock underlying such Company Stock Option; provided that each such CVR will provide for payment only after amounts otherwise payable under such CVR exceed a threshold equal to the excess of the exercise price per share of the Company Common Stock underlying such Company Stock Option over the Cash Amount.

(b) As of immediately prior to the Offer Closing Time, each Company Restricted Stock Unit that is then outstanding but not then vested shall become immediately vested in full. At the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Stock Unit that is then outstanding shall be canceled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive (i) an amount in cash without interest, less any applicable tax withholding, equal to the Cash Amount (the “Restricted Stock Unit Cash Consideration”) and (ii) one CVR. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Restricted Stock Unit Cash Consideration at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time).

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all reasonable actions required to (A) terminate the Company’s 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Company ESPP”), as of immediately prior to the Merger Closing Date and (B) provide that no new offering period shall commence after the date of this Agreement.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering any Company Stock Plan) shall adopt such resolutions or take such action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, providing for the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.10. The Company shall provide that, on and following the Effective Time, no holder of any Company Stock Option or Company Restricted Stock Units shall have the right to acquire any equity interest in the Company or the Surviving Corporation in respect thereof and each Company Stock Plan shall terminate as of the Effective Time.

SECTION 3.11 Contingent Value Right. At or prior to the Offer Closing Time, Parent will authorize and duly adopt, execute and deliver, and will ensure that a duly qualified rights agent with respect to the CVRs mutually agreeable to Parent and the Company (a “Rights Agent”) executes and delivers, a contingent value rights agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C (the “CVR Agreement”), subject to any reasonable revisions to the CVR Agreement that are requested by such Rights Agent or the Representative thereunder (provided that such revisions are not, individually or in the aggregate, materially detrimental to any holder of CVRs). Parent and the Company shall cooperate, including by making changes to the form of CVR Agreement, as necessary to ensure that the CVRs are not subject to registration under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” Laws.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, in response to a Company Takeover Proposal made after the Agreement Date that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.02(a), in the event that the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and an independent financial advisor, that such Company Takeover Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Company Proposal (a “Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal”), the Company may (A) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with any Person or group of Persons making such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal, (B) furnish information with respect to the Company to the Person or group of Persons making such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal and its or their Representatives pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement so long as the Company concurrently or promptly thereafter provides Parent, in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, any material non-public information with respect to the Company furnished to such other Person or group of Persons that was not previously furnished to Parent and (C) participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person or group of Persons and its or their Representatives regarding such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal (including soliciting the making of a revised Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal); provided that the Company may only take the actions described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) above if the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take any such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Wherever the term “group” is used in this Section 6.02(a), it is used as defined in Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.

(b) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof (including the Special Committee) shall (i) (A) withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Special Committee Recommendation or the Company Board Recommendation or resolve or agree to take any such action, (B) adopt, endorse, approve or recommend, or propose publicly to adopt, endorse, approve or recommend, any Company

Takeover Proposal or resolve or agree to take any such action, (C) publicly make any recommendation in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer (other than the Offer) other than a recommendation against such offer or (D) fail to include the Special Committee Recommendation or the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 when disseminated to the Company Stockholders (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to in this Agreement as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, or authorize, cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, option agreement, merger agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement relating to or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 6.02(a)), or resolve, agree or publicly propose to take any such action. Notwithstanding anything to contrary in the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, (x) the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee may, in response to an Intervening Event, take any of the actions specified in clause (A) or (D) of the definition of Adverse Recommendation Change (an “Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change”) if the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (y) if the Special Committee or the Company Board receives a Superior Company Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.02, the Company may make an Adverse Recommendation Change, and may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(h) in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Superior Company Proposal; provided that, prior to so making an Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change or an Adverse Recommendation Change, or so terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(h), (1) the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee shall have given Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice (a “Company Notice”) of its intention to take such action and a description of the reasons for taking such action (which Company Notice, in respect of a Superior Company Proposal, shall specify the identity of the Person who made such Superior Company Proposal and subject to any restrictions pursuant to any confidentiality agreement in effect, the material terms and conditions of such Superior Company Proposal and attach the most current version of the relevant transaction agreement or, in respect of an Intervening Event, shall include a reasonably detailed description of the underlying facts giving rise to such action), (2) the Company shall have negotiated, and shall have used its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith, with Parent during such notice period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement in such a manner that would eliminate the need for taking such action (and, in respect of a Superior Company Proposal, would cause such Superior Company Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Company Proposal), (3) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee shall have considered in good faith any revisions to this Agreement irrevocably committed to in writing by Parent, and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to effect such Adverse Recommendation Change or Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and, with respect to a Superior Company Proposal, that such Superior Company Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Company Proposal and (4) in the event of any change to any of the financial terms (including the form and amount of consideration) of such Superior Company Proposal, or in the event of any material change in any event, occurrence or facts relating to such Intervening Event, the Company shall, in each case, deliver to Parent an additional Company Notice consistent with that described in clause (1) of this proviso and a renewed notice period under clause (1) of this proviso shall commence (except that the four (4)-Business Day notice period referred to in clause (1) of this proviso shall instead be equal to two (2) Business Days) during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.02(b) anew with respect to such additional Company Notice, including clauses (1) through (4) of this proviso.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 6.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders), including making any

“stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties or applicable Law; provided that any such action that would otherwise constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change shall be made only in compliance with Section 6.02(b) (it being understood that: (A) any “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication limited to the information described in Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act and (B) any disclosure of information to the Company Stockholders that describes the Company’s receipt of a Company Takeover Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto and contains a statement that the Special Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, has not effected an Adverse Recommendation Change shall be deemed to not be an Adverse Recommendation Change).

(d) Except to the extent the Company is prohibited from giving Parent such notice by any confidentiality agreement in effect as of the date hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.02, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof, advise Parent in writing of (i) any Company Takeover Proposal or any request for information or inquiry, proposal or offer that the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee in good faith believes could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Takeover Proposal and (ii) the material terms and conditions of such Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed term sheets and agreements relating thereto, and any subsequent amendments or modifications thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer. Commencing upon the provision of any notice referred to in the previous sentence, the Company and its Representatives shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably prompt basis as to any material developments with respect to any such Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer (and any subsequent material amendments or modifications thereto), and shall provide Parent with a copy of any written correspondence, documents or agreements delivered to or by the Company or its Representatives that contain any material amendments thereto or any material change to the scope or material terms or conditions thereof (or, if not delivered in writing, a summary of any such material amendments or material changes).

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall not be required to afford access or furnish information to the extent (i) such information is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party entered into prior to the Agreement Date, (ii) such information relates to the applicable portions of the minutes of the meetings of the Company Board or the Special Committee (including any presentations or other materials prepared by or for the Company Board or the Special Committee) where the Company Board or the Special Committee discussed (or is information otherwise related to) (A) the Transactions or any similar transaction involving the sale of the Company, or a material portion of its assets, to, the license of a material portion of the Company’s assets to, or combination of the Company with, any other Person, (B) any Company Takeover Proposal or (C) any Intervening Event, or (iii) the Company determines in good faith after consulting with counsel that affording such access or furnishing such information would jeopardize the attorney-client

privilege of the Company, violate applicable Law or result in antitrust risk for the Company; provided that the Company will use its reasonable efforts to obtain any required consents for the disclosure of such information and take such other reasonable action (including entering into a joint defense agreement or similar arrangement to avoid loss of attorney-client privilege) with respect to such information as is necessary to permit disclosure to Parent without jeopardizing such attorney-client privilege or violating applicable Law, as applicable. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be subject to the confidentiality letter agreement dated November 11, 2023 between the Company and Parent, as amended (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties hereto in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event prior to the Outside Date, the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions, including (i) causing each of the Offer Conditions and each of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VIII to be satisfied, in each case as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Agreement Date, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary or advisable actions or non-actions, waivers and consents from, the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with, and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid a Proceeding by, any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions, (iii) the defending or contesting of any Proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Company, the Company Board and the Special Committee shall (A) take all action necessary to ensure that no restrictions on business combinations of any Takeover Law or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to any Transaction or this Agreement and (B) if the restrictions on business combinations of any Takeover Law or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to any Transaction or this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Transactions and this Agreement.

SECTION 7.03 Indemnification.

(a) All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (and rights to advancement of expenses) now existing in favor of any Person who is or prior to the Effective Time becomes, or has been at any time prior to the Agreement Date, a director, officer, employee or agent (including as a fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan) of the Company or its predecessors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Company that is in effect as of the Agreement Date and that has been made available to Parent (i) shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, without further action, at the Effective Time, (ii) shall survive the Merger, (iii) shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms with respect to any claims against any such Indemnified Party arising out of such acts or omissions and (iv) for a period of six years following the Agreement Date, shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party, and the Surviving Corporation shall be bound thereby to the fullest extent available under the DGCL or other applicable Law for a period of six years from the Effective Time, and any claim made pursuant to such rights within such six-year period shall continue to be subject to this Section 7.03(a) and the rights provided under this Section 7.03(a) until full and final disposition of such claim. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform its obligations under this Section 7.03(a).

(b) Without limiting Section 7.03(a) or any rights of any Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification agreement set forth on Section 7.03(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, from and after the

Offer Closing Time, in the event of any threatened or actual Proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative, based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that an Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, employee or agent (including as a fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan) of the Company, any of its former subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors or (ii) this Agreement or any of the Transactions, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each such Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any Proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable Law), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of or in connection with any such threatened or actual Proceeding. The Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with an Indemnified Party in the defense of any matter for which such Indemnified Party could seek indemnification hereunder; provided, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to assume the defense and appoint lead counsel for such defense, except to the extent otherwise provided in an indemnification agreement set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter. The Surviving Corporation shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Proceeding for which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in advance in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. The Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 7.03(b) shall continue in full force and effect for the period beginning upon the Offer Closing Time and ending six years from the Effective Time; provided that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Proceeding asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Proceeding. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform its obligations under this Section 7.03(b).

If such “tail” insurance policies have been obtained by the Company, Parent shall cause such “tail” insurance policies to be maintained in full force and effect, for their full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by it and the Surviving Corporation. In the event the Company does not obtain such “tail” insurance policies, then, for the period beginning upon the Offer Closing Time and ending six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall either purchase such “tail” insurance policies or Parent shall maintain in effect the Existing D&O Policies in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions); provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to pay an aggregate annual premium for such insurance policies in excess of the Maximum Amount; provided, further, that if the annual premium of such insurance coverage exceeds such Maximum Amount, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain the maximum amount of coverage available for the Maximum Amount.

(d) In the event that (i) the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (A) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (B) transfers or conveys all or a substantial portion of its properties or other assets to any Person or (ii) Parent or any of its successors or assigns dissolves the Surviving Corporation, then, and in each

such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the applicable successors and assigns or transferees expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.03.

(e) From and after the Offer Closing Time, the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.03 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 7.03 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 7.03 are, from and after the Offer Closing Time, intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, their heirs and their representatives, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to which each Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise.

The parties hereto agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Transactions shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties hereto and that the press release to be issued at the Merger Closing shall state the Cash Amount as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.01(d).

SECTION 7.06 Transfer Taxes. Except as provided in Section 3.09(b), all stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, stamp, recording and other similar Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to any such Taxes) (“Transfer Taxes”) imposed on the Transactions shall be paid by Parent or Merger Sub when due, and the Company shall cooperate with Merger Sub and Parent in preparing, executing and filing any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

SECTION 7.07 Stockholder Litigation. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall provide Parent an opportunity to review and to propose comments to all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with any Proceedings commenced, or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing, by or on behalf of one or more stockholders of the Company, against the Company and its directors relating to any Transaction, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments proposed by Parent. In no event shall the Company enter into, agree to or disclose any settlement with respect to such Proceedings without Parent’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except (i) to the extent such settlement is fully covered by the Company’s insurance policies (other than any applicable deductible) or (ii) such settlement relates solely to the provision of additional disclosure in the Schedule 14D-9, but, in each case, only if such settlement would not result in the imposition of any restriction on the business or operations of the Company or its Affiliates. The Company shall notify Parent promptly of the commencement or written threat of any Proceedings of which it has received notice or become aware and shall keep Parent promptly and reasonably informed regarding any such Proceedings.

SECTION 7.08 Rule 14d-10 Matters.

SECTION 7.13 Anti-Takeover Provisions. Each of Parent and the Company and the Company Board (and any committee empowered to take such action, if applicable) will (i) take all actions within their power to ensure that no Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Offer, Offer Documents, the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) if any Takeover Law becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Offer, Offer Documents, the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, take all action within their power to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) by Parent, if the Company breaches or fails to perform any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform individually or in the aggregate with all such other breaches or failures to perform (i) would result in the failure of an Offer Condition and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured prior to the earlier of (x) 30 days after the giving of written notice to the Company of such breach or failure to perform and (y) the Outside Date; provided that Xxxxxx and Merger Sub are not then in material breach of this Agreement;

(d) by Parent if an Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred;

(e) by Parent if a failure of the condition set forth in clause (vi) of Exhibit A has occurred;

(f) by the Company (upon approval of the Special Committee), if (i) Merger Sub fails to commence the Offer in violation of Section 2.01 (other than due to a violation by the Company of its obligations under Section 2.02), (ii) Merger Sub shall have terminated the Offer prior to its expiration date (as such expiration date may be extended in accordance with Section 2.01(a)), other than in accordance with this Agreement or (iii) all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the time Merger Sub consummates the Offer, but subject to such conditions being able to be satisfied or waived) as of immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer and the Offer Closing Time shall not have occurred within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the Offer;

(g) by the Company (upon approval of the Special Committee), if (i) (x) Parent or Merger Sub breaches any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, which breach had or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate with all such other breaches, result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect or (y) Parent or Merger Sub breaches or fails to perform any of its covenants contained in this Agreement in any material respect, and (ii) the applicable breach or failure to perform cannot be or has not been cured prior to the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice to Parent or Merger Sub of such breach or failure to perform and (y) the Outside Date; provided, in each case, that the Company is not then in material breach of this Agreement; or

(h) by the Company (upon approval of the Special Committee), if (i) the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee authorizes the Company to enter into a definitive written agreement constituting a Superior Company Proposal, (ii) the Company Board and the Special Committee have complied in all material respects with their obligations under Section 6.02(b) in respect of such Superior Company Proposal and (iii) the Company has paid, or simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement pays, the Company Termination Fee.

The party hereto desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01 (other than pursuant to Section 9.01(a)) shall give written notice of such termination to each other party hereto and specify the applicable provision or provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is being effected.

SECTION 9.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 9.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, the last sentence of Section 7.01, this Section 9.02, Section 9.03 and Article X, and any definitions contained in this Agreement and referred to but not contained in any such provisions, which provisions and definitions shall survive such termination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that any failure of Parent or Merger Sub to satisfy its obligations to irrevocably accept for payment or pay for the shares of the Company Common Stock following satisfaction of the Offer Conditions, and any failure of Parent to cause the Merger to be effective following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VIII, will be deemed to constitute a Willful Breach of a covenant of this Agreement. In the event of any termination of this Agreement resulting from a party’s fraud or Willful Breach by a party hereto of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement, in which case such party shall be liable for each other party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcing this Agreement by legal action against the first party for such Willful Breach to the extent such enforcement actions results in a judgment against the first party (collectively “Enforcement Costs”).

SECTION 9.03 Termination Fees.

(a) The Company shall pay to Parent a fee equal to $3,500,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”) if:

(i) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(h);

(ii) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d);

(iii) (A) after the Agreement Date, a bona fide Company Takeover Proposal is publicly proposed or announced or shall have become publicly known or otherwise communicated to management of the Company or the Company Board, and such Company Takeover Proposal is not publicly withdrawn or, if not publicly proposed or announced, communicated to the Company Board or management, is not withdrawn (x) in the case of this Agreement being subsequently terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(i), prior to the date that is four (4) Business Days prior to the final expiration date of the Offer or (y) in the case of this Agreement being subsequently terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(c) as a result of a breach by the Company of a covenant in this Agreement, prior to the time of the breach giving rise to such termination, (B) this Agreement is terminated by (x) either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(i) (but in the case of a termination by the Company, only if at such time Parent would not be prohibited from terminating this Agreement pursuant to the proviso in Section 9.01(b)(i)) or (y) Parent pursuant to Section 9.01(c) as a result of a breach by the Company of a covenant in this Agreement, and (C) within twelve (12) months after such termination, the Company consummates any Company Takeover Proposal or the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal that is subsequently consummated.

For purposes of this Section 9.03(a), the term “Company Takeover Proposal” shall have the meaning set forth in the definition of Company Takeover Proposal contained in Section 1.01 except that all references to 20% shall be deemed references to 50%. Any fee due under this Section 9.03(a) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account designated by Parent, (1) in the case of clause (i), prior to or simultaneously with, and as a condition to the effectiveness of, such termination of this Agreement, (2) in the case of clause (ii), within two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination of this Agreement and (3) in the case of clause (iii), within two (2) Business Days after the consummation of such a transaction. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee or the Expense Reimbursement Payment on more than one occasion, whether or not the Company Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events.

(b) The Company shall pay to Parent an expense reimbursement payment equal to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Parent or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the CVR Agreement up to a maximum of $1,250,000 (the “Expense Reimbursement Payment”) if Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(e).

(c) Acceptance by Parent of the Company Termination Fee due under Section 9.03(a)(i) shall constitute acceptance by Parent of the validity of any termination of this Agreement under Section 9.01(h). In the event the Company Termination Fee or the Expense Reimbursement Payment described in this Section 9.03 is paid to Parent in accordance with Section 9.03(a) or Section 9.03(b), such Company Termination Fee or Expense Reimbursement Payment shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent or Merger Sub and constitute their sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub against the Company and its current, former or future stockholders and Representatives for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated, and none of the Company and its current, former or future stockholders or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions; provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any Willful Breach of this Agreement. If the Company fails to pay in a timely manner the Company Termination Fee or the Expense Reimbursement Payment due pursuant to Section 9.03(a) or Section 9.03(b) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim that results in a judgment for the Company Termination Fee or the Expense Reimbursement Payment, the Company shall pay to Parent its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the Company Termination Fee or the Expense Reimbursement Payment (as applicable) at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect from time to time from the date such payment was required to be made hereunder through the date such payment was actually received.

(d) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, the parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement.

SECTION 9.04 Amendment; Extension; Waiver.

(a) This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time prior to the Offer Closing Time. At any time prior to the Offer Closing Time, the parties hereto may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement (subject to Section 2.01). This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented after the Offer Closing Time.

(b) This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any extension or waiver with respect to this Agreement shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

SECTION 9.05 Procedure for Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 or an amendment of this Agreement or an extension or waiver with respect to this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.04 shall, in order to be effective, require, in the case of Parent or Merger Sub, action by its Board of Directors, and in the case of the Company, action by the Special Committee or the duly authorized designee of the Special Committee. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 shall not require the approval of the stockholders of the Company or Parent as sole stockholder of Merger Sub.

SECTION 10.03 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

SECTION 10.04 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission (e.g., DocuSign or Adobe Sign) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.05 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries; No Other Representations or Warranties.

(a) This Agreement (including all Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules, including the Company Disclosure Letter, attached to this Agreement), the CVR Agreement (including all Exhibits, Annexes or Schedules thereto), the Support Agreements (including all Exhibits, Annexes or Schedules thereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement (i) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto and their Affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement and (ii) except for Section 7.03, are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies, provided, that the Company shall have the right, on behalf of the Company Stockholders (each of whom are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement to the extent required for this proviso to be enforceable), to pursue specific performance as set forth in Section 10.08(a) or, if specific performance is not sought or granted as a remedy, damages in accordance with this Agreement (which may include the benefit of the bargain lost by such Company Stockholders) in the event of a breach hereof by Parent or Merger Sub of this Agreement, it being agreed that in no event shall any such

Company Stockholders be entitled to enforce any of their rights, or any of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations, under this Agreement in the event of any such breach, but rather the Company shall have the sole and exclusive right to do so, as agent for such Company Stockholders. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, following the Effective Time the provisions of Article III shall be enforceable by holders of Certificates and holders of Book-Entry Shares solely to the extent necessary to receive the Merger Consideration to which such holders are entitled to thereunder, and the provisions of Section 3.10 shall be enforceable by holders of awards under the Company Stock Plans.

(b) Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article IV, each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that neither the Company nor any Person on behalf of the Company makes, and neither Parent nor Merger Sub is relying on, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or with respect to any other information made available to Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the Transactions (including with respect to the accuracy or completeness thereof). In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company by Xxxxxx and Merger Sub, Parent and Merger Sub have received and may continue to receive from the Company certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plans and cost-related plan information, regarding the Company’s business and operations. Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, with which Parent and Merger Sub are familiar, that Parent and Merger Sub are making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as such business plans and cost-related plans, furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information, business plans or cost-related plans), and that neither Parent nor Merger Sub has relied upon the Company or its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, advisors, agents or other Representatives, or any other Person, with respect thereto. Accordingly, each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge that neither the Company nor its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, advisors, agents or other Representatives, nor any other Person, has made or is making any representation or warranty or has or shall have any liability (whether pursuant to this Agreement, in tort or otherwise) with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information, business plans or cost-related plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information, business plans or cost-related plans), except as expressly set forth in Article IV.

(c) Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article V, the Company acknowledges that none of Parent, Merger Sub and any other Person on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub makes, and the Company is not relying on, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent or Merger Sub or with respect to any other information made available to the Company in connection with the Transactions (including with respect to the accuracy or completeness thereof).

SECTION 10.06 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

SECTION 10.07 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided that Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Parent or to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Merger Sub of any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, further, that any such assignment shall not take place after the commencement of the Offer and shall not otherwise materially impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise materially impede the rights of the Company Stockholders under this Agreement. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 10.08 Specific Enforcement; Jurisdiction.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 10.08(b), without proof of damages or otherwise (and each party hereto hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the Company to cause Parent and Merger Sub to cause the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The parties hereto further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without such right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into this Agreement. If, prior to any termination of this Agreement or the Outside Date, any party hereto brings any Proceeding, in each case, in accordance with Section 10.08(b), to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party hereto, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Proceeding is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Proceeding, as the case may be.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the State of Delaware, for the purpose of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims with respect to such Proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery or, solely if the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware and any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in the event any Proceeding arises out of this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) irrevocably consents to the service of process in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, on behalf of itself or its property, by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 10.02 (provided that nothing in this Section 10.08(b) shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law) and (iv) agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, solely if the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware). The parties hereto agree that a final trial court judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment.

SECTION 10.09 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OFFER, THE MERGER OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY

PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 10.09.

SECTION 10.10 Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable Law, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

SECTION 10.11 Cooperation. The parties hereto agree to provide reasonable cooperation with each other and to execute and deliver such further documents, certificates, agreements and instruments and to take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the other parties hereto to evidence or effect the Transactions and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.12 Special Committee Matters. For all purposes of this Agreement, the Company (prior to the Effective Time) and the Company Board, as applicable, shall act, including with respect to the granting of any consent, permission, approval, amendment or waiver or the making of any determination, only as directed by the Special Committee or its designees. Prior to the Effective Time, without the consent of the Special Committee, the Company Board shall not (a) eliminate, revoke or diminish the authority of the Special Committee or (b) remove or cause the removal of any director of the Company Board that is a member of the Special Committee from the Company Board or the Special Committee. The Special Committee (and, for so long as the Special Committee is in existence, only the Special Committee) may pursue any action or litigation with respect to breaches of this Agreement on behalf of the Company.

SECTION 10.13 Parent Guarantee. Parent agrees to take all action necessary to cause the Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, and, during the period between the Offer Closing Time and the Effective Time, to perform all of its agreements, covenants and obligations under this Agreement. Parent unconditionally guarantees to the Company the full and complete performance by the Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, of its respective obligations under this Agreement and shall be liable for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, under this Agreement. Parent hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, protest, notice and all defenses and demands whatsoever in connection with the performance of its obligations set forth in this Section 10.13. Parent shall not have any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, nor any right of recourse to security for any of the agreements, covenants and obligations of Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation under this Agreement.

(v) this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with its terms (the “Termination Condition”); or

(vi) the Closing Net Cash as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.01(d) is less than $120,000,000.

Actions, Suits and Proceedings Other than by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being referred to hereafter as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liabilities, losses, judgments, fines (including excise taxes and penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974), and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Actions or Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this Section 2 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless, and only to the extent, that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which the Court of Chancery of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper.

Indemnification for Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VI, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VI, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, if any action, suit or proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to

B-2

Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto.

Notification and Defense of Claim. As a condition precedent to an Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified, such Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnitee for which indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the Corporation shall not be liable to Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, other than as provided below in this Section 4. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Article VI. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above. The Corporation shall not be required to indemnify Indemnitee under this Article VI for any amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation effected without its written consent. The Corporation shall not settle any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Corporation nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed settlement.

Advance of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this Article VI, in the event of any threatened or pending action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation receives notice under this Article VI, any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of an Indemnitee in defending an action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VI; and provided further that no such advancement of expenses shall be made under this Article VI if it is determined (in the manner described in Section 6 of this Article VI) that (i) Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of Indemnitee to make such repayment.

B-3

Procedure for Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 1, 2, 3 or 5 of this Article VI, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request. Any such advancement of expenses shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of Indemnitee, unless (i) the Corporation has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 4 of this Article VI (and none of the circumstances described in Section 4 of this Article VI that would nonetheless entitle the Indemnitee to indemnification for the fees and expenses of separate counsel have occurred) or (ii) the Corporation determines within such 60-day period that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1, 2 or 5 of this Article VI, as the case may be. Any such indemnification, unless ordered by a court, shall be made with respect to requests under Section 1 or 2 of this Article VI only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination by the Corporation that the indemnification of Indemnitee is proper because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this Article VI, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made in each instance (a) by a majority vote of the directors of the Corporation consisting of persons who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question (“disinterested directors”), whether or not a quorum, (b) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not a quorum, (c) if there are no disinterested directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by law, be regular legal counsel to the Corporation) in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation.

Remedies. The right to indemnification or advancement of expenses as granted by this Article VI shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6 of this Article VI that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VI. Indemnitee’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any suit brought by Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder it shall be a defense that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, except as set forth in Section 7 of this Article VI, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VI in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in the event the Corporation makes any indemnification payments to an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, such Indemnitee shall promptly refund indemnification payments to the Corporation to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.

Subsequent Amendment. No amendment, termination or repeal of this Article VI or of the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable laws shall adversely affect or diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such amendment, termination or repeal.

B-4

10.

Other Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding office for the Corporation, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. Nothing contained in this Article VI shall be deemed to prohibit, and the Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into, agreements with officers and directors providing indemnification rights and procedures different from those set forth in this Article VI. In addition, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other employees or agents of the Corporation or other persons serving the Corporation and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth in this Article VI.

11.

Partial Indemnification. If an Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Article VI to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liabilities, losses, judgments, fines (including excise taxes and penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liabilities, losses, judgments, fines (including excise taxes and penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) or amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.

12.

Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and 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 (including any employee benefit plan) against any expense, liability or loss incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

13.

Savings Clause. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liabilities, losses, judgments, fines (including excise taxes and penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

14.

Definitions. Terms used herein and defined in Section 145(h) and Section 145(i) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in such Section 145(h) and Section 145(i).

VII.

The corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon the stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

ARTICLE II

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

Section 2.1 CVRs. The CVRs represent the contractual rights of Holders to receive contingent cash payment of the aggregate CVR Proceeds from Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Nontransferable. The CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted CVR Transfer. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposition of CVRs, in whole or in part, in violation of this Section 2.2 shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

C-6

Section 2.3 No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.

(a) The CVRs will be issued and distributed by Purchaser to each Holder in book-entry form only and will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

(b) The Rights Agent will keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of (i) identifying the Holders of CVRs and (ii) registering CVRs and Permitted CVR Transfers thereof. The CVR Register will initially show one position for Cede & Co. representing all the Company Common Stock held by DTC on behalf of the street holders of the Company Common Stock held by such Holders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the street name holders with respect to transfers of CVRs unless and until such CVRs are transferred into the name of such street name holders in accordance with Section 2.2. With respect to any payments to be made under Section 2.4 below, the Rights Agent will accomplish the payment to any former street name holders of Company Common Stock by sending one lump payment to DTC. The Rights Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments by DTC to such street name holders. Upon request of a Holder or the Representative, the Rights Agent will make available to such Holder or the Representative, as applicable, a list of the other Holders, the number of CVRs held by each Holder, the contact information maintained by the Rights Agent with respect to each Holder and such other information relating to this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by the Representative.

(c) Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its guidelines, duly executed by the Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal representative duly authorized in writing, or the Holder’s survivor (with written documentation evidencing such Person’s status as the Holder’s survivor), and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. As a condition of such transfer, Parent and Rights Agent may require a transferring Holder or its transferee to pay to the applicable Governmental Body any transfer, stamp, documentary, registration, or other similar Tax or governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment by a Holder of a CVR of such applicable Taxes or charges unless and until the Rights Agent is reasonably satisfied that all such Taxes or charges have been paid or that such Taxes or charges are not applicable. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register will be the valid obligations of Purchaser and will entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR will be valid until registered in the CVR Register in accordance with this Agreement.

(d) A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Xxxxxx’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will promptly record the change of address in the CVR Register.

Section 2.4 Payment Procedures: Notices.

(a) If a Disposition Agreement is entered into during the Disposition Period, then Parent shall promptly deliver to the Rights Agent (with a copy to the Representative) written notice indicating that a Disposition Agreement has been entered into and a copy of the Disposition Agreement and any ancillary agreements thereto.

(b) On or prior to each CVR Payment Date, with respect to any Disposition Agreement or Permitted Disposition, Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent (with a copy to the Representative) (i) written notice indicating that (A) the Holders are entitled to receive one or more payments with respect to Disposition Proceeds,

C-7

(B) in the case of Disposition Proceeds, the source and trigger event for such payment of Disposition Proceeds, (C) a detailed calculation of Gross Proceeds (including any calculations and/or supporting documentation applicable to any allocation determination for consideration related or not related to a CVR Product), Net Proceeds and any Permitted Deductions used to calculate such Disposition Proceeds with reasonable supporting detail for such Permitted Deductions, as applicable, (each such notice, a “CVR Payment Notice”), (ii) a letter of instruction setting forth, for each CVR, the CVR Payment Amount with respect thereto (including each component included in the calculation thereof) and (iii) any other letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent. On or prior to any CVR Payment Date, Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent the CVR Payment Amounts required by Section 4.2. All amounts delivered by Parent hereunder shall be delivered in U.S. dollars. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall have no further liability in respect of the relevant CVR Payment Amount upon delivery of such CVR Payment Amount in accordance with this Section 2.4(b) and the satisfaction of each of Parent’s obligations set forth in this Section 2.4(b) and Section 2.5.

(c) The Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the CVR Payment Notice as well as any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of the CVR Payment Notice and, following the applicable CVR Payment Date, promptly pay the CVR Payment Amount to each of the Holders by check mailed to the address of each Holder as reflected in the CVR Register as of the close of business on the CVR Payment Date.

(d) Any portion of the CVR Payment Amount that remains undistributed to a Holder six (6) months after the date of the delivery of the applicable CVR Payment Date will be delivered by the Rights Agent to Parent or Purchaser, upon demand, and any Holder will thereafter look only to Parent and Purchaser for payment of the CVR Payment Amount, without interest, but such Holder will have no greater rights against Parent and Purchaser than those accorded to general unsecured creditors of Parent and Purchaser under applicable Law.

(e) None of Parent, any of its Affiliates (including Purchaser), or the Rights Agent will be liable to any Person in respect of the CVR Payment Amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If, despite Parent’s, any of its Affiliates’ and/or the Rights Agent’s commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the CVR Payment Amount to the applicable Holder, the CVR Payment Amount has not been paid prior to two (2) years after the applicable CVR Payment Date (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the CVR Payment Amount would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body), the CVR Payment Amount will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent or Purchaser, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, Parent and Purchaser agree to indemnify and hold harmless Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to Parent or Purchaser.

Section 2.5 Tax Matters.

(a) Except to the extent any portion of the CVR Payment Amount is required to be treated as imputed interest pursuant to applicable Law, the parties intend that, for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, (i) the CVRs received in respect of Company Common Stock (which for avoidance of doubt does not include the Equity Award CVRs) will be treated as additional consideration paid with respect to such Company Common Stock in connection with the Offer or the Merger, as the case may be, (ii) any CVR Payment Amount received in respect of such CVRs will be treated as an amount realized on the disposition or partial disposition of the applicable CVRs, and (iii) any CVR Payment Amount paid in respect of any Equity Award CVR will be treated as compensation in the year in which the CVR Payment Amount is made (and not upon the receipt of such CVR). The parties to this Agreement shall file all U.S. federal, state and local Tax Returns in a manner consistent with clauses (i) and (ii), unless otherwise required by applicable Laws and clause (iii), unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or a similar determination under applicable state or local Law).

C-8

(b) In addition to any Permitted Deductions, Parent and its Affiliates (including Purchaser) and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from each CVR Payment Amount or any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld therefrom under applicable Law. With respect to Holders who received Equity Award CVRs, any such withholding may be made, or caused to be made, by Parent through the payroll system or any successor payroll system of Parent or any of its Affiliates, including the Company. Prior to making (or causing to be made) any such Tax deduction or withholding, Parent shall instruct the Rights Agent to provide the opportunity for the Holders to provide duly executed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 or W-8, as applicable, or any other reasonably appropriate forms or information from Holders in order to eliminate or reduce withholding. The Rights Agent shall promptly and timely remit, or cause to be remitted, any amounts withheld in respect of Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Body. To the extent any 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 whom such deduction and withholding was made.

(c) Xxxxxx, Purchaser and the Representative intend that each payment provided under this Agreement with respect to an Equity Award CVR (the “Payments”) is a separate “payment” for purposes Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent, Purchaser and the Representative intend that the Payments satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemption from the application of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”) provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and, to the extent not so exempt, that the Payments comply, and this Agreement be interpreted to the greatest extent possible, as consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv)(A)—that is, as “transaction-based compensation.” To the extent this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder), or any payments hereunder, are not exempt, they shall be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A, including by reason of satisfying the “transaction-based compensation” provisions thereunder, including the five-year post-Closing payment limitation therein, and shall incorporate by reference all required definitions and payment terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Company or the Board, or any of their respective representatives make any representation or warranty and will have no liability to a Holder or transferee or any other Person if any payments under any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code (or any similar U.S. state tax law) that are subject to certain additional federal, state or other taxes. Parent may provide each recipient of an Equity Award CVR with a notice or award agreement setting forth the terms and condition of the Holder’s entitlement to payments under such Equity Award CVR in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.6 No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest in Parent or any of its Affiliates.

(a) The CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest will not accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any Holder.

(b) The CVRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Parent, any constituent corporation party to the Merger or any of their respective Affiliates. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that a CVR shall not constitute a security of Parent.

(c) Each Holder, by virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Initial Holders and/or the receipt of any consideration in connection with the Merger, and without any further action of any of the Holders or the Company, acknowledges and agrees to the appointment and authority of the Representative to act as the exclusive representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of such Xxxxxx and all Holders as set forth in this Agreement, which shall include the power and authority of the Representative to take or refrain from taking the actions specified herein and any other actions relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as determined by the Representative. Each Holder agrees that such Holder will not challenge or contest any action, inaction, determination or decision of the Representative or the authority or power of the Representative and will not

C-9

threaten, bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute or voluntarily aid any action, which challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement, including the provisions relating to the authority of the Representative to act on behalf of such Holder and all Holders as set forth in this Agreement.

(d) Parent, its Board and its officers and Affiliates will not be deemed to have any fiduciary or similar duties to any Holder by virtue of this Agreement.

(e) It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the CVRs and the possibility of any payment hereunder with respect thereto are highly speculative and subject to numerous factors outside of Parent’s control, and there is no assurance that Holders will receive any payments under this Agreement or in connection with the CVRs. The Parties acknowledge that it is possible that no Disposition will occur during the Disposition Period and that there will not be any Gross Proceeds that may be the subject of a CVR Payment Amount.

Section 2.7 Ability to Renounce or Abandon CVR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder or Xxxxxx’s successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted CVR Transfer may, at any time, at such Holder’s option, agree to renounce, in whole or in part, its rights under this Agreement and abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to Purchaser or Parent without consideration therefor, effected by written notice to the Rights Agent, the Representative and Parent, which renouncement and abandonment notice, if given, shall be irrevocable. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Parent or any of its Affiliates (including Purchaser) from offering to acquire or acquiring any CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion. Any CVRs acquired by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including Purchaser) shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding for purposes of the definition of Acting Holders and ARTICLE VI and Section 6.3 hereunder.

Reasonable expenditures incurred by such Holders in connection with any enforcement action hereunder may be deducted from any damages or settlement obtained prior to the distribution of any remainder to Holders generally. Holders acting pursuant to this provision on behalf of all Holders shall have no liability to the other Holders for such actions.

Section 6.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

EXHIBIT D

Form of Tender and Support Agreement

SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This SUPPORT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of February 16, 2024, is made by and among XOMA Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), XRA 1 Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the undersigned holder (“Stockholder”) of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), of Kinnate Biopharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, Stockholder is, as of the date hereof, the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which meaning will apply for all purposes of this Agreement) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth opposite the name of Stockholder on Schedule 1 attached hereto (all such Shares, together with any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable or redeemable for Shares, and any New Shares (defined in Section 3 below), the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 16, 2024, by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (as such agreement may be subsequently amended or modified, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for Merger Sub to commence a tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Offer”) and, following the completion of the Offer, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving that merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has, prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, taken all actions so that the restrictions applicable to business combinations contained in Section 203 of the DGCL and any other Takeover Law are, and will be, inapplicable to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “203 Approval”); and

WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to the willingness of Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, and in consideration of the substantial expenses incurred and to be incurred by them in connection therewith, the Stockholder has agreed to enter into and perform this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of, and as a condition to, Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Sub entering into the Merger Agreement and proceeding with the transactions contemplated thereby, and in consideration of the expenses incurred and to be incurred by Parent in connection therewith, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Tender Shares.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the 203 Approval (which has been obtained prior to the execution of this Agreement), Stockholder hereby agrees that it shall irrevocably tender its Shares, or cause its Shares to be validly and irrevocably tendered, into the Offer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, free and clear of all Liens (as defined below) (except for Permitted Liens (as defined below)).

(b) Upon receipt of payment in full for all of its Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the full and complete satisfaction of the terms of the Offer, Stockholder agrees that any and all rights incident to its ownership of Shares (including any rights to recover amounts, if any, that may be determined to be due to any stockholder or former stockholder of the Company), including but not limited to rights arising out of Stockholder’s ownership of Shares prior to the transfer of such Shares to Merger Sub or Parent pursuant to the Offer or pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shall be transferred to Merger Sub and Parent upon the transfer to Merger Sub or Parent of Stockholder’s Shares.

D-1

(c) If the Board or the Special Committee has effected (and not withdrawn) an Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with the Merger Agreement, then the obligation of Stockholder to tender its Shares in the manner set forth in this Section 1 shall be, by virtue of such Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change, automatically modified such that the Stockholder, together with the other stockholders of the Company entering into substantially similar tender and support agreements with Parent and Merger Sub on the date hereof (the “Other Support Agreements”), shall collectively only be required to tender into the Offer that number of Shares equal to an aggregate number of Shares which, together with Shares as defined in the Other Support Agreements, equal in the aggregate thirty percent (30%) of the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (with Stockholder being obligated to tender its pro rata portion thereof).

2. Termination Date. As used in this Agreement, the term “Termination Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be validly terminated, (c) an amendment of the Merger Agreement, without the prior written consent of Stockholder, in a manner that negatively or adversely affects the Offer or that decreases the amount, or changes the form, of consideration payable to any stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (d) the mutual written agreement of the parties to terminate this Agreement, (e) any material breach of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub or (f) the Board or the Special Committee approves, recommends, encourages or supports an alternative transaction. Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any common law fraud or willful, knowing and material breach of this Agreement prior to termination hereof.

3. Additional Purchases. The Stockholder agrees that any Shares of the Company (and any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable or redeemable for Shares) that the Stockholder purchases or with respect to which the Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date, including, without limitation, by the exercise of a Company Stock Option or the vesting or settlement of a Company Restricted Stock Unit (“New Shares”), shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares as of the date hereof and the representation and warranties in Section 5 below shall be true and correct as of the date that beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of such New Shares is acquired.

4. Agreement to Retain Shares and Other Covenants.

(a) From and after the date hereof until the Termination Date, except as otherwise provided herein (including pursuant to Section 1 or Section 7) or in the Merger Agreement, Stockholder shall not, and Stockholder shall not direct its Affiliates to: (i) voluntarily transfer, assign, sell, gift-over, hedge, pledge or otherwise dispose (whether by sale or merger, liquidation, dissolution, dividend or distribution, by operation of Law or otherwise) of, enter into any derivative arrangement with respect to, create or suffer to exist any Liens (except for Permitted Liens) on or consent to any of the foregoing (“Transfer”), any or all of the Shares or any right or interest therein; (ii) enter into any contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Transfer; (iii) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent with respect to any of the Shares with respect to any matter that is, or that is reasonably likely to be exercised in a manner, inconsistent with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the provisions thereof; (iv) deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the Shares; or (v) directly take or cause the taking of any other action that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on such Stockholder’s ability to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that Stockholder and its Affiliates shall be permitted to Transfer Shares to Affiliates, so long as such transferees agree to remain subject to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing,

D-2

at all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until Termination Date, Stockholder shall not tender the Shares into any tender or exchange offer commenced by a Person other than Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent.

(b) The Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence or knowingly participate in any Proceeding, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors or their Affiliates and each of their successors and assigns and their respective directors and officers (i) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the Offer Closing Time or the Merger Closing) or (ii) alleging a breach of any duty of the Board in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby.

5. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder. The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

(a) Stockholder (i) is the beneficial owner of the Shares set forth opposite Stockholder’s name on Schedule 1 to this Agreement and (ii) except as set forth in Schedule 1 to this Agreement, neither holds nor has any beneficial ownership interest in any other shares of Company Common Stock or any performance based stock units, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, options, warrants or other right or security convertible into or exercisable, exchangeable or redeemable for shares of Company Common Stock.

(b) Stockholder has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform Stockholder’s obligations hereunder, subject to applicable federal securities laws and the terms of this Agreement; if the Stockholder is not an individual, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has taken all action necessary, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and no other proceedings on the part of the Stockholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement, the performance of Stockholder’s obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) This Agreement (assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Parent and Merger Sub) has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding agreement with respect to the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

(d) The shares of Company Common Stock and the certificates, if any, representing the Shares owned by Stockholder are now held by Stockholder, by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of Stockholder or by the depository under the Offer, free and clear of any liens, claims, charges, proxies, powers of attorney, rights of first offer or rights of first refusal, voting agreement or voting trust or any other agreement, arrangement, or restriction with respect to the voting of such Shares, or other encumbrances or restrictions of any kind whatsoever (“Liens”), and has sole or shared, and otherwise unrestricted, voting power with respect to such Shares, except for (i) any such Liens arising hereunder (in connection therewith any restrictions on transfer or any other Liens have been waived by appropriate consent) and (ii) Liens imposed by federal or state securities laws (collectively, “Permitted Liens”).

(e) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by such Stockholder with any provisions herein will (i) if such Stockholder is not an individual, violate, contravene or conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or other similar governing documents) of such Stockholder, (ii) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions of, or require any consent, waiver or approval or result in a default or loss of a benefit (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration or any event that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute a

D-3

default or give rise to any such right) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract or other legally binding instrument or obligation to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder or any of its assets may be bound, (iii) result (or, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would result) in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any assets (including Shares) of such Stockholder (other than one created by Parent or Merger Sub) or (iv) violate any Law applicable to such Stockholder or by which any of its assets (including Shares) are bound, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on such Stockholder’s ability to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(f) Xxxxxxxxxxx has not directly engaged any broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder, agent or other Person such that such Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial adviser’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with this Agreement.

(g) The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

6. Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants to Stockholder as follows:

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub are a corporation, both duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such concept) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement on behalf of Stockholder, constitutes the valid and binding obligations of each of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their terms, subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

(c) Except for violations and defaults that would not adversely affect Parent’s or Merger Sub’s ability to perform any of its obligations under, or consummate any of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement by each of Parent and Merger Sub, and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will not cause a violation by Parent or Merger Sub of any legal requirement applicable to Parent or Merger Sub. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is required to make any filing with or to obtain any consent from any Person at or prior to the Offer Closing Time or the Effective Time in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement or the consummation by Parent or Merger Sub of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, except: (i) as may be required by the Exchange Act, General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) or other applicable Laws; or (ii) where the failure to make any such filing or obtain any such consent would not adversely affect Parent’s or Merger Sub’s ability to perform any of its obligations under, or consummate any of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

7. Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of or on behalf of Stockholder in this Agreement or in any certificate, document or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement will terminate upon, and not survive, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Stockholder and its Affiliates will not have any liability or obligation to any other party or any other person or entity for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in any such certificate, document or instrument.

8. [Reserved.]

9. No Limitation on Discretion as Director or Fiduciary.

Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with respect to any such remedy are hereby waived. The parties hereto further agree that by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 24, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such party under this Agreement (including monetary damages) for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 24 are not available or otherwise are not granted.
