At the Closing, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the date and time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such later time as is specified in the Certificate of Merger and agreed to by Merger Sub and the Company, being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”) and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL in connection with the Merger.

Section 1.3. Effects of the Merger. The Merger will have the effects set forth herein, in the Certificate of Merger and in the DGCL.

Section 1.4. Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company will, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated in its entirety to read in the form of Annex I, and as so amended, will be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by applicable Law, subject to Section 5.7.

(b) At the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the Company or Merger Sub, the bylaws of the Company will be amended and restated in their entirety so as to read in the form of Annex II, and, as so amended, will be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with their terms, in accordance with the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and as provided by applicable Law.

Section 1.5. Directors and Officers.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK

OF THE COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Section 2.1. Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities, the following will occur:

(a) each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”, and each such share of Company Common Stock, a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”), immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Shares described in Section 2.1(b) and any Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $49.00, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), and as of the Effective Time, all such Shares will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist, and each holder of thereof will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Shares in accordance with Section 2.4;

(b) each Share (i) held in the treasury of the Company or owned by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time or (ii) owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be cancelled and retired without any conversion thereof and will cease to exist and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto;

(c) each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one (1) fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation; and

(d) each Dissenting Share immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and retired without any conversion thereof and will cease to exist, and Dissenting Shares will thereafter only represent the right to receive payment pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and as described in Section 2.3.

Section 2.2. Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or the committee administering the applicable Company Equity Plan) shall adopt such resolutions as are required to approve the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.2, including as required to effect any plan termination under Section 409A of the Code.

-3-

(b) As of the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, and, in exchange therefor, the holder of such cancelled Company Stock Option will be entitled to receive (without interest), in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Stock Option, an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings pursuant to Section 2.6) equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price per Share under such Company Stock Option; provided that no holder of a Company Stock Option that, as of immediately prior to such cancellation, has an exercise price per Share that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration will be entitled to any payment with respect to such cancelled Company Stock Option. From and after the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option will no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof but will only entitle such holder to the payments, if any, contemplated by this Section 2.2(b).

(c) Except as set forth on Section 2.2(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, as of the Effective Time, each Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, and the holder of such cancelled Company PSU will be entitled, in exchange therefor, to receive (without interest) an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings pursuant to Section 2.6) equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares subject to (or deliverable under) such Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time that are considered to be earned as of the Effective Time as determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable executive change in control agreement (including the proration of the total number of Shares subject to the Company PSU and with the performance conditions deemed achieved at the greater of target and actual performance levels) multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration; provided that, to the extent any such amount relates to a Company PSU that is nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Surviving Corporation shall pay such amounts, without interest and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, at the earliest time permitted under the terms of the applicable agreement, plan or arrangement relating to such Company PSU that shall not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code. From and after the Effective Time, each Company PSU will only entitle such holder to the payments contemplated by this Section 2.2(c).

(d) As of the Effective Time, each Company RSU and Company Phantom Unit that is vested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company RSU” or “Vested Company Phantom Unit”) will be cancelled, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, and the holder of such cancelled Vested Company RSU or Vested Company Phantom Unit will be entitled, in exchange therefor, to receive (without interest) an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings pursuant to Section 2.6) equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to (or deliverable under) such Vested Company RSU or Vested Company Phantom Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration; provided that, to the extent any such amount relates to a Vested Company RSU that is nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Surviving Corporation shall pay such amounts, without interest and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, at the earliest time permitted under the terms of the applicable agreement, plan or arrangement relating to such Vested Company RSU that shall not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code. From and after the Effective Time, each Vested Company RSU and Vested Company Phantom Unit will only entitle such holder to the payments contemplated by this Section 2.2(d).

-4-

(e) Subject to the terms of Section 2.2(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter and unless otherwise agreed upon between the holder of a Company Equity Award and Parent or the Company (with Parent’s prior written consent), as of the Effective Time, each Company RSU and Company Phantom Unit that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested Company RSU” or “Unvested Company Phantom Unit”) will be cancelled, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, and converted into a grant of restricted stock units in the Surviving Corporation with a grant date value (as determined by the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation in good faith) equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to (or deliverable under) such Unvested Company RSU or Unvested Company Phantom Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration (a “Replacement RSU”), which Replacement RSU will vest and be payable at the same time and on the same terms and conditions as the Unvested Company RSU or Unvested Company Phantom Unit for which such Replacement RSU was exchanged would have vested pursuant to its terms. Subject to the terms of Section 2.2(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, all Replacement RSUs will have the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) as applied to the Unvested Company RSU or Unvested Company Phantom Unit for which they were exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Contemplated Transactions or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Purchaser are appropriate to conform the administration of the Replacement RSUs. From and after the Effective Time, each Unvested Company RSU and Unvested Company Phantom Unit will only entitle such holder to the payments contemplated by this Section 2.2(e).

(f) As of the Effective Time, all Company Equity Plans, the Company MSPP, and all awards and rights thereunder will terminate, effective as of and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, and no further Company Stock Options, Company RSUs, Company PSUs or Company Phantom Units (the Company RSUs, Company PSUs and Company Phantom Units, collectively, “Company Equity Awards”), equity or equity-based interests or other rights with respect to Shares will be granted thereunder from or after the Effective Time.

(g) Subject to Section 2.6, Parent shall make (or cause the Surviving Corporation to make) all payments to former holders of Company Stock Options and Company Equity Awards required under this Section 2.2 as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and, in any event no later than the first regular payroll date that is more than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time.

Section 2.3. Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if required by the DGCL (but only to the extent required thereby), any Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder or “beneficial owner” (as defined, for purposes of this Section 2.3, in Section 262(a) of the DGCL) who is entitled to demand and properly exercises and perfects its respective demand for appraisal of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration unless such holder or beneficial owner fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal. From and after the Effective Time, a holder or beneficial owner of Shares who has properly exercised appraisal rights will not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Shares, except those provided under Section 262 of the DGCL, and such Shares will cease to exist. A holder or beneficial owner of Dissenting Shares will be entitled only to receive payment of the appraised value of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless, after the Effective Time, such holder or beneficial owner effectively withdraws or loses his, her or its right to appraisal in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, in which case such Dissenting Shares will be treated as if such Shares had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, pursuant to Section 2.1.

-5-

(b) The Company shall provide Parent with prompt written notice of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments received by the Company from holders or beneficial owners of Shares relating to rights of appraisal, and Parent will have the opportunity and right to direct the conduct of all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands for appraisal.

(c) If any holder or beneficial owner of Dissenting Shares effectively withdraws or loses (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s or beneficial owner’s right to obtain payment of the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under the DGCL, then, as of the occurrence of such effective withdrawal or loss, such holder’s or beneficial owner’s Shares will no longer be Dissenting Shares and, if the occurrence of such effective withdrawal or loss is later than the Effective Time, will be treated as if such holder’s or beneficial owner’s Shares, as of the Effective Time, had been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, as set forth in Section 2.1(a).

Section 2.4. Paying Agent Matters; Surrender of Shares.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”), cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to timely make all payments contemplated in Section 2.4(b) and Section 2.4(d). Such cash may be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Xxxxxx; provided that (i) such investments must be in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated P-1 or A-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, (ii) no such investment will relieve Parent, Merger Sub or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article II and (iii) no such investment will have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as Parent directs. No loss incurred with respect to such investments will decrease the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the amount of cash held by the Paying Agent is insufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make all such payment pursuant to Section 2.4(b) and Section 2.4(d). The aggregate Merger Consideration as so deposited with the Paying Agent will not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section 2.4(b) and Section 2.4(d), except as expressly provided for in this Agreement. Any portion of the cash made available to the Paying Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares will be returned to Parent, upon demand.

-6-

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate (a “Certificate”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares that were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent, which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate will pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and such Certificates shall then be cancelled. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and properly completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time the Merger Consideration payable for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate pursuant to Section 2.1 (less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.6), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) If any payment pursuant to the Merger is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it will be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered must be properly endorsed or must otherwise be in proper form and (ii) the Person presenting such Certificate or Book-Entry Share to the Paying Agent for payment must pay to the Paying Agent any Transfer Taxes or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or must establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not required to be paid. Parent shall timely pay any other Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.

(d) With respect to non-certificated Shares represented in book-entry form (the “Book-Entry Shares”), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver the Merger Consideration payable therefor (less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.6), in each case promptly following the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter). The Company and Parent shall cooperate to, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to, (i) deliver to DTC or its nominees, or to holders of Book-Entry Shares, in each case to the extent applicable or required, any notice with respect to the effectiveness of the Merger and any instructions for surrendering Book-Entry Shares and (ii) establish procedures with the Paying Agent and DTC to ensure that the Paying Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, upon surrender of Shares held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures, the Merger Consideration payable for each such Book-Entry Share pursuant to Section 2.1.

-7-

(e) The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates and transferred Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Section 2.5. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Book-Entry Shares (other than Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing any Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.6, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(f) At any time following the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent may require the Paying Agent to deliver to Parent any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) that have been made available to the Paying Agent and that have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares for the Merger Consideration. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration, or any cash that was held by the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 2.4, that was delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, any Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such time become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust, unincorporated organization, other entity or group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) previously entitled thereto.

(g) From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation will be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, any Certificate or Book-Entry Share presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason will be cancelled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in, this Article VII.

(h) In the event that any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the holder’s delivery of an affidavit of loss to the Paying Agent (and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such holder of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be reasonably required by Parent or the Paying Agent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to deliver as consideration for the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, subject to such holder’s compliance with the exchange procedures set forth in Section 2.4(b) (other than the surrender of a Certificate).

The Company shall (i) promptly (and in any event within such forty-eight (48) hour period) provide Parent in all material respects with a copy of the applicable written Acquisition Proposal (or, if oral, with a summary of the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the form and amount of consideration and proposed financing arrangements), and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to keep Parent reasonably informed of any material developments regarding any Acquisition Proposal (including any material amendment to any material terms, it being understood that a change in price per share of Company Common Stock shall be a material amendment) on a reasonably prompt basis. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, any information provided by the Company or its Representatives to Parent and its Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.3(c), shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

(d) The Company Board and each committee thereof shall not, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) cause or permit the Company or its Subsidiaries to enter into any acquisition agreement, merger agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or similar definitive agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to and entered into in compliance with Section 5.3(b)) relating to any Acquisition Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) or (ii) make a Change of Board Recommendation.

(ii) the Company Board or a committee thereof may make a Change of Board Recommendation in response to an Acquisition Proposal if (F) the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.3 and that the Company Board or a committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, (G) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect a Change of Board Recommendation, which notice shall include the information with respect to such Acquisition Proposal that is specified in Section 5.3(c), and (H) no earlier than the end of the Notice Period, after negotiating and instructing its Representatives to negotiate during the Notice Period to allow Parent to irrevocably offer adjustments to the terms of this Agreement such that the Acquisition Proposal no longer continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (if such negotiation is desired by Parent), the Company Board or a committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of the Determination Notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make a Change of Board Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, in each case, after taking into consideration any changes to this Agreement, the Commitment Letters and the Guaranty that Parent has irrevocably committed to make during the Notice Period;

(iii) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board or a committee thereof may make a Change of Board Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event if (I) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect a Change of Board Recommendation, which notice shall describe the Intervening Event in reasonable detail, and (J) no earlier than the end of the Notice Period, after negotiating and instructing its Representatives to negotiate during the Notice Period to allow Parent to irrevocably offer adjustments to the terms of this Agreement (if such negotiation is desired by Parent), the Company Board or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors, and after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement that Parent has irrevocably committed to make during the Notice Period, that the failure to effect a Change of Board Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

-43-

(iv) during any Notice Period, if requested by Parent, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with Parent regarding potential changes to this Agreement.

Section 5.6. Employment and Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its other Subsidiaries to, for a period of one year following the Effective Time (or until employment terminates, if sooner), maintain for each individual employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Current Employee”) (i) a base compensation and a target annual cash incentive compensation opportunity that, in each case, is at least as favorable as that provided to the Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) employee benefits (excluding equity and equity-based incentive compensation plans, severance, nonqualified deferred compensation, retention, change in control or transaction compensation arrangements, one-time bonuses, defined pension benefits and retiree health or welfare benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those maintained for and provided to the Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Company Plans set forth on Section 3.17(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and (iii) severance benefits that are at least as favorable as the severance benefits provided by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to the Current Employee pursuant to the severance plans or arrangements set forth on Section 3.17(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser acknowledges that the occurrence of the Effective Time will constitute a change in control of the Company (or similar term) under the terms of the Company Plans containing provisions triggering payment, vesting or other rights upon a change in control or similar transaction.

(b) If the Company has not paid annual bonuses in respect of calendar year 2023 (“2023 Annual Bonuses”) prior to the Effective Time, then, no later than March 15, 2024, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Subsidiary to pay to each Current Employee who participates in a Company Plan that provides the opportunity to earn an annual bonus in respect of calendar year 2023, such employee’s 2023 Annual Bonus based on the greater of target performance and actual achievement of the applicable performance metrics, subject to the Current Employee’s continued employment through the payment date. If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates terminates the employment of any Current Employee for any reason other than for cause prior to the payment of the 2023 Annual Bonus such Current Employee shall remain entitled to receive his or her 2023 Annual Bonus, prorated based on the number of days employed during calendar year 2023, and payable as if he or she had remained employed through the date the bonus had been paid, except that the amount payable upon a termination without cause by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates will be reduced by the value of any severance payment(s) a Current Employee is entitled to pursuant to any severance arrangement applicable to the Current Employee that is measured by reference to the Current Employee’s annual bonus for calendar year 2023.

-46-

(c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause service rendered by Current Employees to the Company and its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary under the comparable Company Plans) prior to the Effective Time to be taken into account for purposes of eligibility to participate, level of paid time off and level of severance benefits and vesting of retirement benefits (but not benefit accrual) under all employee benefit plans, programs, or arrangements of Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (the “New Plans”) in which the Current Employees are otherwise eligible to participate, to the same extent and for the same purpose as such service was taken into account under the corresponding Company Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Plans”); provided that the foregoing will not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits or coverage with respect to the same type of benefits and period of service. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any eligibility requirements, waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements, evidence of insurability requirements or pre-existing condition limitations under any New Plan that provides group medical, dental, vision or prescription drug benefits to the extent such restriction would not have been applicable to a Current Employee under any comparable Old Plan in which they participated prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to, give such Current Employees credit under the New Plans that provide group medical, dental, vision or prescription drug benefits for any eligible expenses incurred by such Current Employees and their covered dependents and credited to such person under the comparable Old Plan during the portion of the year prior to the Effective Time for purposes of satisfying all co-payment, co-insurance, deductibles, maximum out-of-pocket requirements, and other out-of-pocket expenses applicable to such Current Employees and their covered dependents in respect of the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms and conditions of employment for any employees covered by a Labor Agreement shall be governed by the applicable Labor Agreement until the expiration, modification or termination of such Labor Agreement in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

(e) No provision of this Agreement (i) prohibits Parent or the Surviving Corporation from establishing, amending or terminating any Company Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, policy or arrangement, (ii) requires Parent or the Surviving Corporation to keep any Person employed for any period of time or to offer any particular term of employment, (iii) constitutes the termination of, establishment or adoption of, or amendment to, any Company Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, policy or arrangement or (iv) confers upon any Current Employee or any other Person any third-party beneficiary or similar rights or remedies.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation from liabilities of present and former directors, officers and employees of the Company than are currently provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which provisions may not be amended, repealed, or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such matters and (ii) six (6) years from the Effective Time, and in the event that any Action is pending or asserted or any claim made during such period, until the disposition of any such Action or claim, unless such amendment, modification or repeal is required by applicable Law, in which case Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, make such changes to the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws as to have the least adverse effect on the rights of the individuals referenced in this Section 5.7.

(b) Without limiting any additional rights that any Person may have under any agreement or Company Plan, from and after the Effective Time and until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such matters and (ii) six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each present (as of the Effective Time) or former director or officer of the Company (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”), against all obligations to pay a judgment, settlement, or penalty and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, and whether formal or informal, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission, including any action or omission in connection with the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or of another entity if such service was at the request of the Company, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at, or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall advance to each Indemnified Party reasonable expenses incurred in the defense of the Action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (provided that any Person to whom expenses are advanced shall have provided, to the extent required by the DGCL, an undertaking to repay such advances if it is finally determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may purchase prior to the Effective Time, and if the Company does not purchase prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall purchase at or after the Effective Time, a tail policy under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained at such time by the Company, which tail policy (i) will be effective for a period from the Effective Time through and including the date six (6) years after the Effective Time with respect to claims arising from facts or events that existed or occurred prior to or at the Effective Time and (ii) will contain coverage that is at least as protective to such directors and officers as the coverage provided by such existing policies; provided that the aggregate premium for such tail policy may not be in excess of three hundred fifty percent (350%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect for their full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Without limiting any of the rights or obligations under this Section 5.7, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall keep in full force and effect, and shall comply with the terms and conditions of, any agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement and made available to Parent between or among the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnified Party providing for the indemnification of such Indemnified Party and Parent hereby guarantees the obligations of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to such agreements.

-48-

(e) This Section 5.7 will survive the consummation of the Merger and is intended to benefit, and is enforceable by, any Indemnified Party. The indemnification and advancement provided for in this Section 5.7 is not exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnified Party is entitled whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity resulting from such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to make proper provisions such that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the applicable obligations set forth in this Section 5.7.

Parent shall, with the reasonable cooperation of the Company, be responsible for making any filing or notification required for the purposes of the Foreign Regulatory Approvals. The parties shall consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other parties in advance, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of such party in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Laws and any Foreign Investment Laws.

Any such disclosures or provision of copies by one party to the other may be redacted or made on an outside counsel basis, if and to the extent appropriate.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) take any and all actions necessary to obtain any consents, clearances, or approvals required under or in connection with Antitrust Laws, and to enable all waiting periods under the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws to expire, and to avoid or eliminate impediments under applicable Antitrust Laws asserted by any Governmental Body, and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to take any and all actions necessary to obtain the Foreign Investment Approvals, in each case, to cause the Merger to occur as promptly as possible and, in any event, by or before the Outside Date, including (A) promptly complying with any requests for additional information (including any second request or equivalent) by any Governmental Body, (B) if necessary to obtain clearance by any Governmental Body before the Outside Date, offering, negotiating, committing to, and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, or other disposition of any and all of the capital stock, assets, equity holdings, rights, products, or businesses of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) or making or effecting any commitment, condition or undertaking required by any Governmental Body with respect to the capital stock, assets, equity holdings, rights, products, or businesses of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), and any other restrictions on the activities of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries); provided, that Parent and its Subsidiaries will not be required to take any of the actions contemplated by this clause (B) as condition by any Governmental Body to obtaining any Foreign Investment Approval in the event that such action contemplated by this clause (B) would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise), assets, operations, or results of operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), taken as a whole, following the Merger, and (C) contesting, defending, and appealing any threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree, or ruling or statute, rule, regulation, or executive order that would adversely affect the ability of any party hereto to consummate the Merger and taking such actions to prevent the entry, enactment, or promulgation thereof. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 5.8, each party shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, take, any action or omit to take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent clearance by any Governmental Body or to make clearance by any Governmental Body before the Outside Date less probable in any material respect. Parent shall bear the filing fees incurred in connection with any filings under the HSR Act and in connection with the Foreign Regulatory Approvals which may be required for the consummation of the Merger.

(b) Prior to the Closing, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, agree to or permit any termination, amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification of, or waive any of its rights under, the Commitment Letters or Definitive Debt Financing Agreements without the Company’s prior written consent that could (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing below the amount, together with the aggregate committed amount of the Equity Financing (including any increase in the aggregate committed amount of the Equity Financing after the date of this Agreement), necessary to fund the Required Funding Amount, (ii) adversely affect the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce its rights against any other party to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements, in each case, as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, relative to the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof, (iii) prevent, delay or impede the consummation of the Debt Financing or the other Contemplated Transactions or (iv) impose any new or additional conditions, or otherwise expand any of the existing conditions, to the availability and funding of Debt Financing as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (each of the foregoing, a “Restricted Amendment”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent or Merger Sub may amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify the Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, book runners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement. Upon any such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver that is permitted in accordance with the provisions above, the terms “Debt Commitment Letter” and “Definitive Debt Financing Agreement” shall mean the Debt Commitment Letter or Definitive Debt Financing Agreement, as applicable, as so amended, replaced, supplemented or modified. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification of the Debt Commitment Letter and/or any such waiver of a provision of the Debt Commitment Letter.

(c) If all or any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, or the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements shall be withdrawn, repudiated, terminated or rescinded, regardless of the reason therefor, then Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) use reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable, from the same and/or alternative financing sources, alternative financing in an amount sufficient, together with the aggregate committed amount of the Equity Financing (including any increase in the aggregate committed amount of the Equity Financing after the date hereof), to fund the Required Funding Amount and (ii) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability. In the event any alternative financing is obtained in accordance with this Section 5.16(c) (“Alternative Financing”), references in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” shall also be deemed to refer to such Alternative Financing, and if one or more commitment letters or definitive financing agreements are entered into or proposed to be entered into in connection with such Alternative Financing, references in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letter” and the “Definitive Debt Financing Agreements” shall also be deemed to refer to such commitment letter, related fee letter and definitive financing agreements relating to such Alternative Financing, and all obligations of Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 5.16 shall be applicable thereto to the same extent as Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations with respect to the Debt Financing.
