1.02 Filing of Merger Certificate; Effective Time. At the Closing, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in ARTICLE VII, (i) the Company will execute a certificate of merger in substantially the form of Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”) in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and (ii) the Company and Merger Sub will, and Buyer will cause Merger Sub to, cause such executed Certificate of Merger to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL, and the Merger will be effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed in writing by Buyer and the Company and specified therein (the “Effective Time”).

(c) Subject to compliance with Section 6.05(b), at the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Company will, by operation of law and without any further action by any Person, be amended and restated in their entirety to contain the provisions set forth in the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for any references to the name of Merger Sub), and as so amended and restated will be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until

thereafter amended or repealed in accordance with the provisions thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and applicable Law.

(d) The directors of Merger Sub in office immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified in the manner provided in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, their earlier resignation or removal, or as otherwise provided by applicable Law.

(e) The officers of the Company in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are duly elected and qualified in the manner provided in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, their earlier resignation or removal, or as otherwise provided by applicable Law.

1.04 Conversion of Shares; Treatment of Options. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the securities described below:

(a) Each share of the common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non‑assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Each share of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective (other than shares of Preferred Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 1.04(c) and Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Closing Preferred Stock Per Share Merger Consideration, plus any amount payable with respect to such share of Preferred stock pursuant to Section 1.08, as applicable, and will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist.

(c) Each share of Preferred Stock held in the treasury of the Company and each share of Preferred Stock owned or held, directly or indirectly, by the Company or by Buyer, Merger Sub or their respective Subsidiaries, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist without any conversion thereof and no payment of cash or any other consideration will be made with respect thereto.

(d) Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Common Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 1.04(c) and Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Closing Common Stock Per Share Merger Consideration, plus any amount payable with respect to such share of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.08, as applicable, and will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist.

(e) Each share of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company and each share of Common Stock owned or held, directly or indirectly, by the Company or by Buyer, Merger Sub or their respective Subsidiaries, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist without any conversion thereof and no payment of cash or any other consideration will be made with respect thereto.

(f) Each unexercised Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is or becomes an In-the-Money Option at the Closing will, as of the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive the Closing Option Per Share Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.06, plus any amount payable with respect to such Option pursuant to Section 1.08 (as applicable), in each case, subject to any applicable Tax withholding pursuant to Section 1.10, and will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist. Each Option that does not otherwise become an In-the-Money Option as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence shall be cancelled and retired and cease to exist effective as of the Effective Time, with no consideration payable or owed therefor. The amount of cash each Optionholder is entitled to receive with respect to his or her In-the-Money Options shall be rounded down to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all Options held by such Optionholder. Each Option (or portion thereof) that is not an In-the-Money Option shall be forfeited and cancelled and no payment shall be made in respect of such Option (or portion thereof). All amounts payable with respect to cancelled In-the-Money Options will be paid only upon receipt by the Company no later than the Closing Date of a duly executed consent and waiver agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (an “Option Cancellation Agreement”) with respect to such In-the-Money Options.

1.05 Pre-Closing Merger Consideration Estimate.

(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company will prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth a calculation of (i) the estimated Closing Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”), (ii) the estimated Closing Cash (the “Estimated Closing Cash”), (iii) the estimated Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), (iv) the estimated Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”), (v) the Company’s calculation of the Estimated Merger Consideration derived from the foregoing, (vi) the Closing Preferred Stock Payment payable at the Closing to each Stockholder in accordance with Section 1.05(b), (vi) the Closing Common Stock Payment payable at the Closing to each Stockholder in accordance with Section 1.05(c), and (vii) the Closing Option Payment payable at the Closing to each Optionholder in accordance with Section 1.05(d). The Estimated Closing Statement will be prepared, and the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, the Estimated Closing Cash, the Estimated Closing Indebtedness and the Estimated Transaction Expenses will be determined, in each case, (i) in good faith, on a consolidated basis in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement and (ii) in accordance with the Accounting Principles. For the avoidance of doubt, and without in any way limiting Section 11.03(l), none of the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, the Estimated Closing Cash, the Estimated Closing Indebtedness or the Estimated Transaction Expenses shall take into account in any manner NuPark or any of NuPark’s Subsidiaries.

(b) The portion of the Estimated Merger Consideration each Stockholder will be entitled to receive at the Closing in respect of his, her or its shares of Preferred Stock (the “Closing Preferred Stock Payment”) will be set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement and equal the product of (i) the Closing Preferred Stock Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by such Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time that were converted in accordance with Section 1.04(b).

(c) The portion of the Estimated Merger Consideration each Stockholder will be entitled to receive at the Closing in respect of his, her or its shares of Common Stock (the “Closing Common Stock Payment” and together with the Closing Preferred Stock Payment, the “Closing Stock Payments”) will be set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement and equal the product of (i) the Closing Common Stock Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time that were converted in accordance with Section 1.04(d).

(d) Closing Option Payment. The portion of the Estimated Merger Consideration each Optionholder will be entitled to receive at the Closing in respect of his, her or its Options (the “Closing Option Payment”) will be set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement and equal, with respect to each In-the-Money Option, the product of (i) the Closing Option Per Share Merger Consideration applicable to such In-the-Money Option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock corresponding to such In-the-Money Option held by such Optionholder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time that were converted in accordance with Section 1.04(f).

1.06 Closing Payments.

(a) At the Closing, Buyer will, or will cause Merger Sub to, deposit with the Paying Agent the aggregate Closing Stock Payments payable to the Stockholders as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Paying Agent no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) At the Closing, Buyer will, or will cause Merger Sub to, deliver the aggregate Closing Option Payments payable to the Optionholders, as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. On the next regularly scheduled payroll date of the Surviving Corporation occurring at least ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation will distribute to the Optionholders their respective Closing Option Payments, subject to any applicable Tax withholding pursuant to Section 1.10 and subject to receipt from the applicable Optionholder of a duly executed Option Cancellation Agreement. After the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make timely payment to the appropriate taxing authority or authorities of any amounts withheld from payment to the Optionholders pursuant to Section 1.10.

(c) At the Closing, Buyer will, or will cause Merger Sub to, deliver the Adjustment Escrow Deposit Amount to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an escrow account designated by the Escrow Agent no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Escrow Account”) and established pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date and substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”), among Buyer, the Representative and the Escrow Agent. The Adjustment Escrow Account will be maintained separately from other funds held by the Escrow Agent and will be Buyer’s and Merger Sub’s sole and exclusive source of recovery for any amounts owing to Buyer, Merger Sub or, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation under this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 1.08 with respect to any Excess Amount, but excluding any amounts owing that arise out of claims for Fraud).

(d) At the Closing, Buyer will, or will cause Merger Sub to, deliver an amount equal to $1,735,000 (the “Deductible Escrow Deposit Amount”) to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an escrow account designated by the Escrow Agent no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Deductible Escrow Account”) and established pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Deductible Escrow Account will be maintained separately from other funds held by the Escrow Agent to satisfy the Stockholders’ reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 6.08(b) hereof. The Deductible Escrow Amount shall be held in trust by the Escrow Agent for a period of twelve (12) months and shall be released in accordance with the terms thereof.

(e) At the Closing, Buyer will pay, or will cause Merger Sub to pay, to the Representative, the Representative Holdback Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Representative at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(f) At the Closing, Buyer will pay, or will cause Merger Sub to pay, on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, all Estimated Transaction Expenses to such Persons as they are owed by wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts designated by the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(g) At the Closing, Buyer will pay, or will cause Merger Sub to pay, on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, all amounts required to be paid under the Payoff Letters delivered pursuant to Section 5.08 in order to fully discharge the Indebtedness for Borrowed Money owed to the Persons thereunder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated in such Payoff Letters.

1.07 Surrender of Certificates; Paying Agent.

(a) In accordance with the paying agent agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date and substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D (the “Paying Agent Agreement”), the Paying Agent will act as the Representative’s agent in delivering to each Stockholder its respective Closing Stock Payment in return for the Certificates which, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock (other than shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 1.04(c) or Section 1.04(e) and Dissenting Shares), as well as any amounts owed to such Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.08. At or after the Effective Time, upon surrender of Certificates and delivery by a Stockholder of a duly executed letter of transmittal substantially in the form of Exhibit E (the “Letter of Transmittal”) to the Paying Agent, (i) the Paying Agent will pay each such Stockholder the Closing Stock Payment to which such Stockholder is entitled under Section 1.05 and (ii) each Stockholder will be irrevocably entitled to receive the portion of any amount payable under Section 1.08 with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock held by such Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Merger Consideration payable to a Stockholder will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Stockholder in the Letter of Transmittal, unless, to the extent permitted by the Letter of Transmittal, alternative arrangements are specified by such holder in the Letter of Transmittal. Each such Stockholder that makes the deliveries to the Paying Agent required by this Agreement, the Letter of Transmittal and the Paying Agent Agreement prior to the Closing Date will be paid his, her or its Closing Stock Payment on the same Business Day as the Effective Time. Each such Stockholder that makes the

deliveries to the Paying Agent required by this Agreement, the Letter of Transmittal and the Paying Agent Agreement thereafter will be paid his, her or its Closing Stock Payment as soon as possible after delivery thereof is made (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after the date such delivery thereof is made).

(b) If any Certificate has been or is claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming that a Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent) and, if required by the Paying Agent, the delivery of such indemnity by such Person as is reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent will deliver to such Person in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate or instrument representing shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock the proper amount of the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled hereunder, subject to the other deliveries required by this Section 1.07.

(c) At any time that is more than one (1) year after the Effective Time, Buyer may cause the Paying Agent to pay over to the Surviving Corporation any portion of the Merger Consideration (including any earnings thereon) that had been delivered to the Paying Agent and that has not been disbursed to Stockholders as of such time (other than any amounts then subject to dispute). After the Paying Agent makes such payments to the Surviving Corporation, all former Stockholders will be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to any applicable abandoned property, escheat and other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the cash payable upon surrender of their Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, and the Paying Agent will have no further obligation under this Section 1.07 in its capacity as such. None of the Surviving Corporation, Buyer, Merger Sub, the Representative or the Paying Agent will be liable to any Person in respect of amounts paid to a public official to the extent required under any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(d) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no further registration of transfers of shares shall thereafter be made on the Books and Records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, they will be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.07.

1.08 Post-Closing Merger Consideration Adjustment. Following the Closing Date, the Merger Consideration will be adjusted, if at all, as set forth below:

(a) Buyer will prepare and deliver to the Representative within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Adjustment Calculation Time (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), (ii) a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth a calculation of (1) the Closing Net Working Capital, (2) the Closing Cash, (3) the Closing Indebtedness, (4) the Transaction Expenses, (5) Buyer’s calculation of the Final Merger Consideration derived from the foregoing, and (6) with respect to each of the foregoing, the changes in such amounts from the corresponding amounts set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement and (iii) reasonably detailed information and support for the foregoing calculations and proposed changes. The Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Statement will be prepared, and the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses will be determined, in each case, in good faith, on a consolidated basis in

accordance with the Accounting Principles. For the avoidance of doubt, and without in any way limiting Section 11.03(l), none of the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Cash, the Closing Indebtedness or the Transaction Expenses shall take into account in any manner NuPark or any of NuPark’s Subsidiaries. If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement, in accordance with this Section 1.08(a), then the Representative may, at its election, either (i) treat the estimates delivered pursuant to Section 1.05(a) as the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement and the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses, as final and binding upon the Parties or (ii) treat such estimates as the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.08(a), in which case, Seller shall be entitled to all dispute and other rights set forth in the remainder of this Section 1.08 with respect thereto.

(b) On or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement, the Representative may give Buyer a written notice stating in reasonable detail the Representative’s objections (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement. During such 60‑day period, and any period of dispute thereafter with respect to such Closing Balance Sheet and/or Closing Statement, Buyer will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, (i) provide the Representative and its Advisors reasonable access to the books, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents), supporting data, facilities, and personnel of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (including Surviving Corporation personnel responsible for accounting and finance and senior management) and, subject to execution of any customary work paper access letters required by them, the Surviving Corporation’s accountants and their work papers, and (ii) otherwise cooperate with and assist the Representative and its Advisors in connection with such review. Any determination set forth on the Closing Statement which is not specifically objected to in the Notice of Disagreement will be deemed acceptable to the Representative, and will be final and binding upon all Parties upon delivery of the Notice of Disagreement. If the Representative does not deliver to Buyer a Notice of Disagreement within such 60‑day period, then the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Statement and the Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses will be final and binding upon the Parties as of the expiration of such 60‑day period, and the Final Merger Consideration set forth in the Closing Statement will constitute the Final Merger Consideration for all purposes of this Section 1.08.

(c) Following Buyer’s receipt of any Notice of Disagreement, the Representative and Buyer may attempt to negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed matters set forth therein, and all such discussions and negotiations related thereto shall (unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and the Representative) be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) and any applicable similar state rule. In the event that the Representative and Buyer fail to agree on any of the Representative’s proposed adjustments set forth in the Notice of Disagreement within thirty (30) days after Buyer receives the Notice of Disagreement (or such longer period as agreed by Buyer and the Representative in writing), the Representative and Buyer agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause Deloitte & Touche LLP (provided that if Deloitte & Touche LLP is unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, the Representative and Buyer shall jointly select an alternative firm that is a nationally recognized independent accounting or valuation firm (the “Firm”), within forty‑five (45) days immediately following such first 30‑day period, to make the final written determination of all

matters which remain in dispute that were included in the Notice of Disagreement. Buyer and the Representative will instruct the Firm to, and the Firm will, make a final determination of the items included in the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement (to the extent such amounts are in dispute) solely in accordance with this Agreement, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator. Buyer and the Representative will execute a customary engagement letter and will cooperate with the Firm during the term of its engagement. Buyer and the Representative will instruct the Firm not to, and the Firm will not, assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Representative, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Representative, on the other hand. Buyer and the Representative will also instruct the Firm to, and the Firm will, make its determination based solely on the terms and provisions of this Agreement and on written submissions by Buyer and the Representative that are in accordance with this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Statement and the resulting Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses, in each case, as determined by the Firm in accordance with this Section 1.08(c), will be final and binding on the Parties on the date the Firm delivers its final determination in writing to Buyer and the Representative. The date on which the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Statement and the resulting Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness and Transaction Expenses are finally determined pursuant to Section 1.08(b), are agreed upon by Buyer and the Representative pursuant to this Section 1.08(c) or are determined by the Firm in accordance with this Section 1.08(c) is referred to as the “Settlement Date.” The fees, costs and expenses of the Firm will be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders), on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items so submitted to the Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Firm) bears to the total amount of disputed items submitted. For example, if the Representative submits a Notice of Disagreement for $1,000, and if Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Representative, and if the Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders) $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300/500) to Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to the Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders).

(d) If the Estimated Merger Consideration exceeds the Final Merger Consideration (such excess, the “Excess Amount”), Buyer and the Representative will deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to pay to Buyer (or its designee), within five (5) Business Days after the Settlement Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Excess Amount from the Adjustment Escrow Funds. In the event that the Excess Amount is less than the Adjustment Escrow Funds (such shortfall, the “Remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds”), Buyer and the Representative will, simultaneously with delivery of the instructions in the immediately foregoing sentence, deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to pay the Remaining Adjustment Escrow Funds from the Adjustment Escrow Account to or as directed by the Representative (or its designee), with all such amounts, subject to Section 10.19(b), to be paid to the Stockholders or Optionholders in accordance with each such holder’s Pro Rata Portion; provided, that the portion of any such amounts payable to Optionholders may, if so directed by the Representative, be remitted to the Surviving Corporation for payment to such Persons through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll procedures after applicable Tax withholding pursuant to Section 1.10 and subject to the Surviving

Corporation’s receipt of the applicable duly executed Option Cancellation Agreement, and the Surviving Corporation shall make such payments as directed by the Representative promptly following receipt thereof. The Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery for any Excess Amount.

(e) If the Final Merger Consideration exceeds the Estimated Merger Consideration (the “Adjustment Amount”), then (i) Buyer will, within five (5) Business Days after the Settlement Date, make payment of the Adjustment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to or as directed by the Representative (or its designee), and (ii) Buyer and the Representative will deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to make payment of the Adjustment Escrow Funds from the Adjustment Escrow Account, within five (5) Business Days after the Settlement Date, to or as directed by the Representative (or its designee), with all such amounts, subject to Section 10.19(b), to be paid to the Stockholders or Optionholders based on each such holder’s Pro Rata Portion; provided, that the portion of any such amounts payable to Optionholders may, if so directed by the Representative, be remitted to the Surviving Corporation for payment to such Persons through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll procedures after applicable Tax withholding pursuant to Section 1.10 and subject to the Surviving Corporation’s receipt of the applicable duly executed Option Cancellation Agreement, and the Surviving Corporation shall make such payments as directed by the Representative promptly following receipt thereof.

(f) The Parties hereto agree that any payment made pursuant to this Section 1.08 shall be treated for all purposes as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

1.09 Appraisal Rights. Each share of Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and is held by a Person who, in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, (i) has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing or executed an enforceable waiver of appraisal rights (whether before or after the date of this Agreement) and (ii) has properly demanded appraisal of such share of Common Stock, and not effectively withdrawn, lost or failed to perfect their rights to appraisal, will not, at the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration and instead will be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist and shall represent only the right to receive payment from the Surviving Corporation with respect thereto as provided by the DGCL, unless and until the holder of any such share has failed to perfect or has effectively withdrawn or lost his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, in which case such share will thereupon be deemed, as of the Effective Time, to have been cancelled and retired and to have ceased to exist and been converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with ARTICLE I, without interest, in accordance with this Agreement, the Merger Consideration. From and after the Effective Time, no Stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights will be entitled to vote his, her or its shares of Common Stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on his, her or its shares (except dividends or other distributions payable to Stockholders of record at a date prior to the Effective Time). Any shares of Common Stock for which appraisal rights have been properly exercised, and not subsequently withdrawn, lost or failed to be perfected, in each case, in accordance with this Section 1.09 and the DGCL, are referred to in this Agreement as “Dissenting Shares.” The Company will give Buyer prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, including any Stockholder’s notice of their intent

to demand payment pursuant to the DGCL that the Company receives, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company.

1.10 Withholding Rights. Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or the Paying Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration (a) such amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld pursuant to any provision of any Tax Law related to or regarding Taxes with respect to the Options, (b) U.S. federal backup withholding Taxes required under Code Section 3406 to the extent a Stockholder does not deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer or the Paying Agent a properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W‑9 or Form W‑8, as applicable, (c) U.S. federal withholding Taxes required under Code Section 1445 to the extent the Company does not deliver to Buyer the certificate required under Section 2.02(c), or (d) any other amount required to be withheld under applicable Law. Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company, or the Paying Agent, as applicable, will remit any such withheld amounts to the applicable Tax authority. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted in full to the applicable Tax authority by Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. In the event that Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or the Paying Agent determines that withholding from the Merger Consideration is required under applicable Tax Law and permitted under this Agreement (other than withholding with respect to Options), Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or the Paying Agent will so notify the Representative, on behalf of the recipient of such payment, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date or any subsequent date that the applicable payment is to be made to provide such recipient with an opportunity to provide any form or documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid such withholding. If Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or the Paying Agent withholds any amount from any Stockholder or Optionholder which it was not required to withhold, it will promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after demand therefor, remit to the applicable Stockholder or Optionholder such amount wrongly withheld.

With respect to each Plan, copies of the following have been made available to Buyer (if applicable to such Plan): (A) the current plan document, including any amendments thereto, (B) the most recent summary plan description, including any summary of material modifications required under ERISA with respect thereto, (C) the most recent annual report on Form 5500 (and all schedules thereto) or similar report required to be filed, and (D) the most recently received determination or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service.

(b) Each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or approval letter from the Internal Revenue Service, or may rely on an opinion letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to a prototype plan adopted in accordance with the requirements for such reliance and, to the Company’s knowledge, nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of the most recent determination letter that would reasonably be expected to cause such Plan to lose its qualified status. The Plans comply and have at all times complied in form and in operation in all material respects with their terms and applicable Laws, including the requirements of the Code, ERISA and the Affordable Care Act.

(c) With respect to the Plans, (i) all material contributions required to have been made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries either have been made or accrued in accordance with the terms of the applicable Plan, and (ii) there are no Proceedings pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened that are material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole other than routine claims for benefits.

(d) No Plan is, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries sponsors, maintains, contributes to, or has any obligation to contribute to, any (i) “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) that is subject to Title IV of ERISA, Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or (ii) “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA).

(f) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.15(a) or as required by applicable Law, neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company nor the consummation by the Company of the Transactions will (whether alone or in combination with any other event): (i) accelerate the time of payment or vesting of benefits, or increase the benefits or the amount of compensation payable under any Plan, (ii) trigger any funding obligation under any Plan, (iii) result in any payment or benefit becoming due or payable, or required to be provided, to any director, employee or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any Plan, (iv) result in the forgiveness of any indebtedness of any director, employee or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Company or its Subsidiaries or (v) result in any payment (whether in cash or property or the vesting of property) to any “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G‑1, a “Disqualified Individual”) that would reasonably be expected to constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code), excluding the effect of any arrangement entered into by or at the direction of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates. There is no contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound to compensate any director, employee or independent contractor for excise taxes paid pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code or any similar Law. Schedule 3.15(f) lists all Persons who are Disqualified Individuals, as determined as of the date of the execution of this Agreement.

(g) Each Plan that provides for nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code satisfies in all material respects in form and operation the requirements of Sections 409A(a)(2), 409A(a)(3) and 409A(a)(4) of the Code and the guidance thereunder; and no additional Tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code has been or could be incurred by a participant in any such Plan. No Option granted under any Plan has an exercise price that is (or was) less than the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date such option was granted or has any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of exercise or disposition of such Option.

or other document or agreement or pursuant to this Section 6.05 (any of the foregoing, an “Indemnification Obligation”), Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall be, and, after the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to be, (i) jointly and severally, and at all times, the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., Buyer’s, the Surviving Corporation’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations to an Indemnified Person shall be primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by an Indemnified Person shall be secondary) and (ii) at all times, required to advance, and liable, jointly and severally, for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement or any Indemnification Obligation, without regard to any rights that an Indemnified Person may have against the Other Indemnitors. Furthermore, Buyer irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims (x) against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation, indemnification or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof and (y) that the Indemnified Person must seek expense advancement, reimbursement or indemnification from any Other Indemnitor before the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries or Buyer must perform its expense advancement, reimbursement and indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Buyer hereby further agrees that no advancement, indemnification or other payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of an Indemnified Person with respect to any claim for which an Indemnified Person has sought indemnification from Buyer or the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries shall affect the foregoing, and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement, indemnification or other payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Person against Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries, and Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless against such amounts actually paid by the Other Indemnitors to or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to the extent such amounts would have otherwise been payable by Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries under any Indemnification Obligation.

(e) In the event that Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries or any of the respective successors or assigns of the foregoing (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties, rights or assets to any Person, then, in each case, Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, will use it commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the successors and assigns of such Persons or properties, rights or assets, as the case may be, expressly assume in writing and be bound by the obligations set forth in this Section 6.05 as a condition of succession of assignment.

(f) This Section 6.05 is intended to be for the benefit of each of the Indemnified Persons and may be enforced by any such Indemnified Person as if such Indemnified Person were a party to this Agreement. The obligations of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.05 will not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Person to whom this Section 6.05 applies without the consent of such affected Person.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnified Person will have any right of indemnification, advancement or exculpation from the Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or their respective successors pursuant to this Section 6.05 to the extent such Indemnified Person has (i) committed Fraud,(ii) violated any fiduciary duties under Delaware law or failed to satisfy the standards for indemnification set forth in Section 145 of the DGCL; provided, however, that

nothing in this Section 6.05 shall require or permit indemnification or the advancement of expenses arising out of or in any way relating to a breach of this Agreement by the Company, or (iii) taken any action (or omitted to take any action) that constitutes a breach of this Agreement by the Company. The Buyer Parties and the Surviving Corporation, on behalf of themselves and their Subsidiaries, expressly acknowledge and agree, that the agreements contained in this Section 6.05 and the indemnification contemplated by this Section 6.05 require performance after the Closing to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and will survive the Closing for the maximum duration permitted under applicable Law (or if earlier, when no obligations under this Section 6.05 remain) and will not be subject to any of the survival or exclusive remedy provisions of Section 10.01.

6.06 Contact with Business Relations. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.02, Buyer and Merger Sub acknowledge that they are not authorized to, and agree that they will not, and they will not permit any member of the Buyer Group to, contact any officer, director, employee, customer, supplier, distributor, lessee, lessor, Stockholder, Optionholder, lender, noteholder or other material business relation of the Company or its Subsidiaries before the Closing with respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries, their businesses and/or the Transactions, in each case, without receiving the prior written consent of the Company before each such contact.

6.07 Tax Matters.

(a) Transfer Taxes. At the Closing or, if due thereafter, promptly when due thereafter, all sales, use, excise, goods and services, value added, stock, conveyance, gross receipts, registration, business and occupation, securities transactions, real estate, land transfer, stamp, documentary, notarial, filing, recording, permit, license, authorization or similar Taxes and all applicable conveyance fees, recording charges and other similar fees and charges applicable to, arising out of or imposed upon the Transactions, whether imposed on Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or imposed on any holder of Options, Preferred Stock or Common Stock resulting from the Transactions (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) will be paid equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Stockholders, on the other hand. Buyer will prepare any Tax Returns with respect to such Taxes, and the Representative will reasonably cooperate with Buyer in the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns.

(b) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and the Representative will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party hereto, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns, any Tax audits, Tax proceedings or other Tax‑related claims. Such cooperation will include providing records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such matters, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explaining any materials provided pursuant to this Section 6.07(b), provided that neither Buyer nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to furnish or provide access to any portion of any Tax Return (or related books, records, or workpapers) filed on an affiliated, combined, consolidated, unitary or other group basis that does not relate to the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Representative shall have no obligation to prepare or file any Tax Returns.

(c) Tax Sharing Agreements. Effective as of the Closing Date, any and all tax sharing or allocation agreements or arrangements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries

is a party to shall be terminated such that none of Buyer, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any counterparty thereto shall have any further liability thereunder.

6.08 R&W Insurance Policy.

(a) Procurement of Policy. Buyer has acquired a conditional binder (the “Binder Agreement”) to a buyer-side representation and warranty insurance policy with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement (the “R&W Insurance Policy”). All costs and expenses related to the R&W Insurance Policy, including, without limitation, the total premium, underwriting costs and due diligence fees, brokerage commission, Taxes related to such policy and other fees and expenses associated with such policy (such costs, other than the R&W Deductible, the “R&W Costs”) will be borne equally by Buyer and the Company; provided, however, that R&W Costs shall not include the Buyer’s due diligence fees. Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the R&W Insurance Policy contains express provisions whereby (a) the insurer expressly waives, and agrees not to pursue, directly or indirectly, except claims for a in the case of Fraud, any subrogation rights against the Company, its Subsidiaries, any Stockholder, any Optionholder or any of their direct or indirect equityholders or any of their Affiliates with respect to any claim made by any insured thereunder and (b) the insurer expressly agrees that Buyer and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to first pursue any claim against the Company, its Subsidiaries or any Stockholder or any of their direct or indirect equityholders or any of their Affiliates in connection with any loss, liability or damage related thereto). Buyer and its Affiliates will not amend, waive or otherwise modify the anti-subrogation provisions of the R&W Insurance Policy in any manner that would allow the insurer thereunder or any other Person to, except claims in the event of Fraud, subrogate or otherwise make or bring any action or proceedings against the Company, its Subsidiaries, any Stockholder, any Optionholder or any of their direct or indirect equityholders or any of their Affiliates.

(b) R&W Deductible. Buyer shall have the right to seek reimbursement from the Deductible Escrow Account for that part of a loss that, pursuant to the coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy, constitutes the second half of the R&W Deductible (i.e., exceeds $1,735,000). Reimbursement from the Deductible Escrow Account shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive recourse from the Seller Group for any such loss. Any claim for reimbursement made pursuant to this Section 6.08(b) shall be satisfied in accordance with the Escrow Agreement within 30 days of written notice from Buyer to the Representative, which written notice shall provide reasonable substantiation that such loss constituted the second half of the R&W Deductible. On the date that the amount of losses reimbursable hereunder reaches the Deductible Escrow Amount, Buyer shall have no further right to reimbursement or recovery with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 6.08(b). For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall be entitled to seek reimbursement from the Deductible Escrow Account only after the first half of the R&W Deductible has been fully satisfied.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS AND COVENANTS

9.01 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any Party hereto and at such Party’s expense, any other Party will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the Transactions.

9.02 Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) Compensation and Benefits. Effective as of the Closing and continuing for one (1) year thereafter, Buyer will, or will cause its Affiliates, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, provide to all employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately following the Closing (the “Retained Employees”) compensation (other than equity compensation) and benefit plans, programs, arrangements, agreements and policies that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable in all material respects to those provided to the Retained Employees immediately before the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, for a period beginning on the Closing Date and continuing for a one (1) year period thereafter, Buyer will or will cause its Affiliates, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to provide to each Retained Employee who remains in the employment of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) (i) a base salary or wage rate and cash bonus and commission opportunity at least equal to the base salary or wage rate and bonus and commission opportunity in effect for such Retained Employee immediately before the Closing and (ii) employee benefits (excluding equity compensation) that are comparable to the benefits applicable to such Retained Employee immediately prior to closing. Nothing in this Section 9.02(a) will obligate Buyer or the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to continue (and will not prevent Buyer or the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries from modifying or terminating) the employment of any such Retained Employee. Buyer will be solely responsible for complying with the requirements of Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code for any individual who is an “M&A qualified beneficiary” as defined in Treas. Reg. Sec. 54.4980B‑9e.

(b) Employee Service Credit. Buyer (i) will give, or cause the Surviving Corporation to give, each Retained Employee credit under any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, arrangement or policy of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including retirement, vacation, paid time off, sick leave and severance policies), for purposes of eligibility, vesting and entitlement to such amount of vacation, paid time off, sick leave and severance benefits for the Retained Employee’s service with the Company and its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date to the same extent such service was recognized under a similar Plan, except in each case, to the extent such treatment would result in duplicative benefits, (ii) will allow such Retained Employees to participate in each plan providing welfare benefits without regard to preexisting‑condition limitations, waiting periods, evidence of insurability or other exclusions or limitations not imposed on the Retained Employee by the corresponding Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) if any of the Plans that provide welfare benefits are terminated prior to the end of the plan year that includes the Closing Date, Buyer will cause each Retained Employee to be credited with any

expenses that were covered by the Plans during such plan year for purposes of determining deductibles, co‑pays and other applicable limits under any replacement plans.

(c) Vacation Pay and Personal Holidays. If administratively possible, Buyer will cause the Surviving Corporation to continue to credit to each Retained Employee all accrued but unused vacation, paid time off, sick leave, and personal holiday pay that the Retained Employee is entitled to as of the Closing Date, including any earned vacation, paid time off, sick leave, or personal holiday pay to be used in future years, and will assume all liability for the payment of such amounts.

(d) No Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions contained in this Section 9.02 are for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and nothing set forth in this Section 9.02 will (i) confer any rights or remedies, including any third‑party beneficiary rights, upon any employee or former employee of the Company, any Retained Employee or upon any other Person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, (ii) be construed to establish, amend, or modify any Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or (iii) subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 9.02, alter or limit Buyer’s or the Surviving Corporation’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ability to amend, modify or terminate any specific benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement (including the ability to terminate employment of Retained Employees) at any time.

(e) Termination of 401(k) Plans. Upon receipt of written request by Buyer at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company and its Affiliates shall take all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to terminate all Code Section 401(k) arrangements sponsored by them by proper Board action effective no later than the day before the Closing Date.

9.03 Antitrust Notification.

(a) The Company and the Buyer Parties will, (i) as promptly as practicable and no later than five (5) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, file with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), any notification form required pursuant to the HSR Act for the Transactions, which form will specifically request early termination of the waiting period prescribed by the HSR Act (provided that, in the event the FTC and/or the DOJ are closed or not otherwise accepting such filings under the HSR Act (a “Government Closure”), such five (5) Business Day period shall be extended day-for-day, for each Business Day a Government Closure is in effect); and (ii) as promptly as practicable file any filing notification form required pursuant to any other Antitrust Law. Each of the Company and the Buyer Parties will furnish to each other’s counsel such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law and will respond to any request for supplemental information from any Governmental Body as promptly as reasonably practicable. Buyer and the Company will split equally all filing fees payable in connection with any filings related to Antitrust Laws (the “HSR Fees”).

(b) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.03(b), the Company and the Buyer Parties will use their reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain any HSR Approval and any other approval required under any other Antitrust Laws for the consummation of the Transactions

and will keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, any Governmental Body and will respond promptly to any such inquiry or request. Neither the Buyer Parties nor the Company shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Body to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or to otherwise delay consummation of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of the other Party. The Buyer Parties will take, and will cause their Affiliates to take, commercially reasonably steps to avoid or eliminate each impediment under any Law that is asserted by any Governmental Body or any other Person so as to enable the Parties to close the Transactions as expeditiously as possible, and in any event before the End Date.

(c) The Parties hereto commit to instruct their respective counsel to cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to facilitate and expedite the identification and resolution of any issues arising under any Antitrust Law at the earliest practicable dates. Such reasonable best efforts and cooperation include counsel’s undertaking (i) to keep each other appropriately informed of material communications from and to personnel of Governmental Bodies and (ii) to confer with each other regarding appropriate contacts with and response to personnel of such Governmental Bodies and the content of any such contacts or presentations. Neither the Company nor the Buyer Parties will participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Body with respect of any such filings, applications, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other Party prior notice of the meeting or discussion and, to the extent permitted by the relevant Governmental Body, the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion (which, at the request of either Buyer or the Company, will be limited to outside antitrust counsel only). The Company will have the right to review (subject to appropriate redactions for confidentiality and attorney‑client privilege concerns) and comment on the content of any presentations, white papers or other written materials to be submitted to any Governmental Body in advance of any such submission.

(d) Except as specifically required by this Agreement, the Parties will not take any action, or refrain from taking any action, the effect of which would be to materially delay or impede the ability of the Parties to consummate the Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer Parties will not, and will not permit any member of the Buyer Group or their respective Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire (by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing any assets of or equity in, or by any other manner), any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation could reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any permits, orders or other approvals of any Governmental Body necessary to consummate the Transactions or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Body entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions or (iii) materially delay the consummation of the Transactions.

9.04 Written Consents; Section 262 Notices.

(a) Promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a copy of an irrevocable written consent of Stockholders constituting the Necessary Stockholder Approval, evidencing the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Transactions.

(b) The Company will, in accordance with applicable Law and its organizational documents, on or before the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the date of this Agreement, deliver to any Stockholder that has not theretofore executed a written consent adopting this Agreement, approving the Transactions and waiving any appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL (each, a “Remaining Stockholder”) a request that such Stockholder execute the written consent of the Company’s Stockholders approving the Merger as provided in Section 228 of the DGCL and that such Stockholder waive any appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL. In connection with such request, the Company will, through its board of directors, recommend to its Stockholders approval of the Merger. Approval of this Agreement by the Stockholders of the Company will not restrict the ability of the Company’s board of directors thereafter to terminate or amend this Agreement to the extent permitted by this Agreement and not prohibited under Section 251(d) of the DGCL. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to Buyer, for review and comment, the information statement or other information to be delivered to the Remaining Stockholders, and will incorporate therein any reasonable comments of Buyer and its legal counsel delivered to the Company within two (2) Business Days after receiving such information statement or other information. Such information statement or other information will be mailed by the Company to the Remaining Stockholders not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of this Agreement.

9.05 Invention Assignment Agreements.

Each covenant and agreement requiring performance after the Closing, will, in each case, expressly survive the Closing in accordance with its terms, and if no term is specified, then for the maximum duration permitted under applicable Law, and nothing in this Section 10.01(a) will be deemed to limit any rights or remedies of any Person for breach of any such surviving covenant or agreement (with it being understood that Buyer and Merger Sub will also be liable for breach of any covenant or agreement requiring performance by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing, and that nothing herein will limit or affect Buyer’s or Merger Sub’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ liability for the failure to pay the Merger Consideration (in whole or in part) or pay any other amounts payable by them (in whole or in part) as and when required by this Agreement).

(b) Except with respect to claims based on Fraud, from and after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the Company and the Buyer Parties expressly waive, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Group, any and all rights, claims and causes of action any of them may have against any Seller Party (excluding any Person who continues to be an officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time, but only in such Person’s capacity as such) relating to (i) the operation of the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses prior to the Closing, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement and any other document, certificate, instrument or agreement prepared in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) any Seller Party’s status as a holder of Company Capital Stock at any time prior to the Closing, (regardless of the theory of liability, whether breach of contract, tort, conspiracy, equity or other theory of liability), including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages, or any other recourse or remedy (other than, and solely with respect to, any of the covenants that survive the Closing in accordance with Section 10.01(a)), in each case, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected. Furthermore, from and after the Effective Time, without limiting the generality of this Section 10.01, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, no action, suit or litigation proceeding will be brought, encouraged, supported or maintained by, or on behalf of, any member of the Buyer Group (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) or the Seller Group against any of the Seller Parties or Buyer Parties (excluding any Person who continues to be an officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time, but only in such Person’s capacity as such), as the case may be, and no recourse will be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of, or based upon, any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company or any other Person set forth or contained in this Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or any certificate, instrument, opinion, agreement or other document of the Company or any other Person delivered hereunder or in connection with the Transactions (other than, and solely with respect to, any of the covenants that survive the Closing in accordance with Section 10.01(a)), the subject matter of this Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby, the Transactions, the business, the ownership, operation, management, use or control of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their assets, or any actions or omissions at, or prior to, the Closing or the Effective Time.

(c) The Buyer Parties and the Seller Parties expressly acknowledge and agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Group or the Seller Group, as the case may be, that the agreements contained in this Section 10.01 (i) require performance after the Closing to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and will survive the Closing for the maximum duration permitted under applicable Law and will not be subject to any of the survival or exclusive remedy provisions of this Section 10.01; and (ii) are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without the agreements set forth in this Section 10.01, none of the Parties would enter into this Agreement and the Company would not have obtained the Necessary Stockholder Approval.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be deemed to be a waiver of claims for Fraud.

10.02 Acknowledgment by the Buyer Parties(a) . The Buyer Parties expressly acknowledge and agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Group, that they have

conducted an independent investigation and verification of the business, financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties, contracts, and prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and, in making their determination to proceed with the Transactions, and subject to the following sentence, the Buyer Parties have relied solely on the results of their own independent investigation and verification and have not relied on, are not relying on, and will not rely on, any of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any Optionholder or any Stockholder of the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (or any representations, warranties, information, statements, disclosures, or materials of or provided by any of the foregoing). The Buyer Parties expressly acknowledge and agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Buyer Group, that: (i) the representations and warranties of the Company expressly and specifically set forth in ARTICLE III, the Transaction Documents and any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, are the sole and exclusive representations, warranties, information, statements, disclosures and/or materials of any kind made or provided to the Buyer Parties and on which the Buyer Parties may rely in connection with the Transactions; and (ii) all other representations, warranties, information, statements, disclosures and/or materials of any kind or nature expressed or implied, whether in written, electronic or oral form are specifically disclaimed by the Company, on its behalf and on behalf of the Seller Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with the investigation by the Buyer Parties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Buyer Parties and their Affiliates, and the representatives of each of the foregoing, have received or may receive, from or on behalf of the Company, certain projections, forward‑looking statements and other forecasts (whether in written, electronic or oral form, and including in any information presentation or management presentation, the Dataroom, management meetings, etc.) (collectively, “Projections”). The Buyer Parties expressly acknowledge and agree, on their own behalf, and on behalf of the Buyer Group, that (i) such Projections are being provided solely for the convenience of the Buyer Parties to facilitate their own independent investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such Projections, (iii) the Buyer Parties are familiar with such uncertainties, and (iv) the Buyer Parties are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all Projections (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such Projections). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.02 shall be deemed to be a waiver of claims for Fraud.

10.03 Provision Respecting Representation of Company. Each of the Parties to this Agreement hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, partners, managers, members, officers, employees and Affiliates, (a) that Xxxxxxx Procter LLP has been retained by, and may serve as counsel to, each and any of the Representative, the Optionholders and Stockholders and their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) (individually and collectively, the “Seller Group”), on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, (b) that Xxxxxxx Procter LLP has not acted as counsel for any other Party hereto in connection with the Transactions and that none of the other Parties hereto has the status of a client of Xxxxxxx Procter LLP for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof and (c) that, following consummation of the Transactions, Xxxxxxx Procter LLP (or any of its successors) may serve as counsel to the Seller Group or any director, shareholder, partner, manager, member, officer, employee or Affiliate of any member of the Seller Group, in connection with any litigation, action, suit, claim, investigation, proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions. Notwithstanding such representation or any

continued representation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, each of the Parties hereto (on their own behalf and on behalf of their Affiliates) hereby consents thereto and expressly waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each of such Parties will cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to expressly waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. Buyer, the Company and the Seller Group hereby agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, the Company, and/or its Subsidiaries on the one hand, and the Seller Group or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, Xxxxxxx Procter LLP may represent the Seller Group and/or such Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of the Seller Group and/or such Affiliates may be directly adverse to Buyer, the Company or its Subsidiaries, and even though Xxxxxxx Procter LLP may have represented the Company or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for Buyer, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries. In addition, Buyer agrees that (x) all communications prior to the Effective Time among any member of the Seller Group, the Company and its Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or Advisors, and Xxxxxxx Procter LLP that relate to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute arising in connection with, this Agreement, or otherwise relating to any potential sale of the Company or the Transactions (the “Protected Seller Communications”), will be deemed to be privileged and confidential communications, (y) all rights to such Protected Seller Communications, the expectation of client confidentiality, and the control of the confidentiality and privilege applicable thereto, belong to and will be retained by the Seller Group.

10.04 Press Releases and Communications. No press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the Transactions (including any press release or other public announcement disclosing the Merger Consideration (or any other amounts related thereto)) will be issued or made by any Party to this Agreement or any of its Affiliates or representatives without the joint approval of Buyer and the Representative, unless required by Law or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange, in which case Buyer and the Representative, as applicable, will have the right to review and comment on such press release or announcement in advance of such publication; provided that each Seller Party and member of the Buyer Group will be entitled to communicate regarding the Transaction with its and its Affiliates’ investors and proposed investors in the ordinary course of business if such investors are bound by an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such communications.

10.05 Expenses. Whether or not the Closing takes place, except as otherwise provided herein, all fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of Advisors and appraisal fees, costs and expenses, and travel, lodging, entertainment and associated expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions will, subject to Section 10.19, be paid by the party incurring such expenses, except that (i) Buyer and the Company will equally bear all fees and expenses of the Paying Agent and the Escrow Agent, (ii) the fees and expenses of the Firm will be allocated pursuant to Section 1.08(c), as applicable, (iii) all fees and expenses in connection with the D&O Tail Policy will be allocated pursuant to Section 6.05(c), (iv) all filing fees associated with any filing or submission that is necessary in connection with Antitrust Laws will be allocated pursuant to Section 9.03, (v) all Transfer Taxes will be allocated pursuant to Section 6.07(a) and (vi) Buyer and Company will each pay 50% of (1) the R&W Costs pursuant to Section 6.08(a) and (2) the deductible or retention on the R&W Insurance Policy (the “R&W Deductible”) pursuant to Section 6.08(b).

10.07 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated without the prior written consent of (a) prior to the Closing, the Company and Buyer and (b) from and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and the Representative; provided, that Buyer and Merger Sub may assign this Agreement to any of their respective Subsidiaries, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer or Merger Sub of their respective obligations under this Agreement.

10.08 Amendment and Waiver. Except as provided herein, any provision of this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits hereto may be amended only in a writing signed by Buyer, the Company, the Representative and, prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub. Subject to Section 7.04, with respect to the waiver of conditions to Closing as of the Effective Time, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective against Buyer, the Company, the Representative or, prior to the Closing, Merger Sub, only as set forth in a writing executed by such Person. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof will extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.

10.09 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except (a) as otherwise expressly provided herein, including Section 6.05 and (b) for Sections 6.08, 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, 10.08, 10.09 and 10.10, in respect of which each member of the Seller Group is a third party beneficiary, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties hereto in accordance with this Agreement without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the Parties hereto may

not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

10.10 Non‑Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any action, suit, claim, investigation, or proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the Persons that are expressly named as parties to this Agreement. Except to the extent named as a party to this Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations of such parties set forth in this Agreement, no past, present or future shareholder, member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent or Advisor of any party to this Agreement or any Subsidiary of the Company will have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any of the parties to this Agreement or for any action, suit, claim, investigation, or proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement.

10.11 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

10.12 Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and will in no way restrict or otherwise modify any of the terms or provisions hereof.

10.13 Disclosure Schedules. The Disclosure Schedules have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately numbered sections corresponding to the sections of this Agreement; however, each section of the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent the relevance of such information to such other section of the Disclosure Schedules is reasonably apparent. Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or the attached exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no Party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not set forth or included in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business. In addition, matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedules. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. No information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to broaden in any way the scope

of the Parties’ representations and warranties. Any description of any agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement or other item set forth on any Disclosure Schedule is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of such agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement or item. The information contained in this Agreement, in the Disclosure Schedules and exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any Party hereto to any Person of any matter whatsoever, including any violation of Law or breach of contract.

10.14 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, Paying Agent Agreement, Escrow Agreement and any other agreements expressly referred to herein or therein (collectively, “Transaction Documents”), contain the entire agreement of the Parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement and the Transactions and supersedes all prior agreements among the Parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Company. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises with respect to this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the execution version of this Agreement will control and prior drafts of this Agreement and the documents referenced herein will not be considered or analyzed for any purpose (including in support of parol evidence proffered by any Person in connection with this Agreement), will be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of the provisions hereof or the intent of the Parties with respect hereto and will be deemed joint work product of the Parties.

10.15 Conflict Between Transaction Documents. The Parties hereto agree and acknowledge that to the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated by this Agreement, this Agreement will govern and control.

10.16 Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the Parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions. It is accordingly agreed that (a) the Parties hereto will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 10.17 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, (b) the provisions set forth in Section 8.02 are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and will not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to specific performance or other equitable relief and (c) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor Buyer would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Party pursuing an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.16 will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order. The remedies available to the Company or the Representative pursuant to this Section 10.16 will be in addition to any

other remedy to which they were entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance will not restrict, impair or otherwise limit the Company or the Representative from seeking the payment of any liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses related to Buyer’s breach of this Agreement, in each case, subject to the terms of Section 8.02(b). If, before the End Date, any Party hereto brings any action, in each case in accordance with Section 10.17, to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party, the End Date will automatically be extended (y) for the period during which such action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days or (z) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be.

10.17 Jurisdiction and Exclusive Venue. Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross‑claim, or defense, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise under any legal or equitable theory, that may be based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Transactions brought by any other Party or its successors or assigns will be brought and determined only in the Delaware Chancery Court and any state court sitting in the State of Delaware to which an appeal from the Delaware Chancery Court may be validly taken (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter or is unable to timely hear any action, suit, claim or proceeding as a result of COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measure, any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware and any federal appellate court therefrom), and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Transactions. Each of the Parties agrees not to commence any action, suit, claim or proceeding relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein, and no Party will file a motion to dismiss any action filed in a state or federal court in the State of Delaware, on any jurisdictional or venue‑related grounds, including the doctrine of forum non‑conveniens. Each Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action, suit, claim or proceeding by delivery of such process in the manner provided in Section 10.06 and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise) in any action, suit, claim or proceeding any claim that service of process made in accordance with Section 10.06 does not constitute good and valid service of process.

10.18 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement, and any action, suit, claim, investigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross‑claim, or defense, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise under any legal or equitable theory, that may be based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Transactions will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such State without regard to conflicts of law principles of the State of

Delaware or any other jurisdiction that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to apply.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE DOCUMENTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THE TRANSACTIONS (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE FINANCING SOURCES) IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND THEREFORE HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, CLAIM, INVESTIGATION, OR PROCEEDING BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE FINANCING SOURCES), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY. EACH PARTY HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO ADVISOR OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.19 Representative.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.19, and by virtue of the Necessary Stockholder Approval and without any further action of any Stockholders, Optionholders or the Company, Fortis Advisors LLC is designated as the Representative and as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and exclusive agent to act on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders for certain limited purposes, as specified herein. The Necessary Stockholder Approval will, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law (including DGCL § 251(b)), constitute knowing and irrevocable ratification and approval of such designation by the Stockholders and Optionholders, and authorization of the Representative to serve in such capacity (including the exclusive power to negotiate and settle any and all disputes with Buyer or Merger Sub under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement) and will also constitute a reaffirmation, approval, consent to, acceptance and adoption of, and an agreement to comply with and perform, all of the acknowledgments, waivers, releases, covenants and agreements made by the Representative on behalf of the Stockholders and Optionholders in this Agreement and the other documents delivered in connection herewith (including the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement), in each case, whether entered into or taken before, on or after the date of such approval. The Representative may resign at any time and may be removed only by the vote of Persons that collectively owned more than 50% of the Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Common Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 1.04(c) (such Persons, the “Majority Holders”). The designation of the Representative and the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Representative Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest, and are irrevocable and will not be affected by the death, incapacity, illness, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or other inability to act of any of the Stockholders or Optionholders. In the event that a Representative has resigned or been removed in accordance with this Section 10.19(a), a new Representative will be appointed by the Majority Holders, such appointment to become effective upon the written acceptance

thereof by the new Representative. Written notice of any such resignation, removal, or appointment of a Representative will be delivered by the Representative to Buyer promptly after such action is taken. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Representative and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Representative will have such powers and authority as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the functions assigned to it under this Agreement and in any other document delivered in connection herewith (including the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement); provided, however, that the Representative will have no obligation to act on behalf of the Stockholders or Optionholders except as expressly provided herein or in the Escrow Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedules. The Company, the Surviving Corporation, Buyer, Merger Sub, the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent and the Firm will be entitled to rely on the actions taken by the Representative without independent inquiry into the capacity of the Representative to so act. The Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Estimated Closing Statement, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Stockholder, Optionholder or other party. All actions, notices, communications and determinations by the Representative to carry out its functions under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement will conclusively be deemed to have been authorized by, and will be binding upon, the Stockholders and Optionholders and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by the Stockholders and Optionholders, and all defenses which may be available to any Stockholder or Optionholder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement are waived. Neither the Representative nor any of its officers, directors, employees, partners (general or limited), members, managers, contractors, agents or advisors (collectively, the “Representative Group”) will have any liability to Buyer, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Stockholders or Optionholders, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any Person acting on behalf of the foregoing, with respect to actions taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Representative in such capacity (or its officers, directors, employees, partners (general or limited), members, managers, or Advisors in connection therewith) under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The Representative will be entitled to engage such Advisors as it will deem necessary in connection with exercising its powers and performing its functions hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement and (in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Representative) will be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such Persons in all matters. The Representative Group will be entitled to full reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances (including fees and disbursements of its Advisors) incurred by or on behalf of the Representative in such capacity (or any of its officers, directors, employees, partners (general or limited), members, managers, or Advisors in connection therewith), and shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless against any liabilities, losses, damages, obligations, costs, claims, fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement or expenses (including fees, disbursements and costs of counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers) arising out of actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as Representative, including the costs and expenses of investigation, defense, settlement or adjudication of any Proceeding, from the Stockholders and the Optionholders (including from funds to be distributed to the Stockholders or Optionholders under this Agreement at its direction, pursuant to or in connection with this

Agreement (including under the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement)) (collectively, the “Representative Expenses”) and all payments required to be made under ARTICLE I are expressly subject to this Section 10.19(b). Each Stockholder and Optionholder will be responsible for its Pro Rata Portion of any amount owed to the Representative in accordance with this Section 10.19(b) based upon the Pro Rata Portion of the number of Aggregate Fully-Diluted Shares held by such Stockholder or Optionholder immediately prior to the Closing. In furtherance of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Representative may recover Representative Expenses, first, from the Representative Holdback Amount, second from funds to be paid to the Stockholders or Optionholders as Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement after Closing, and third, directly from the Stockholders and Optionholders.
