ARTICLE I
The Offer
Section 1.01The Offer
.
(a)Commencement of the Offer. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article IX, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof), Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the Offer to purchase for cash any and all outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled or converted pursuant to Section 3.01(b)) at the Offer Price (subject to Section 3.01(d)). The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that contains the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement and in Annex I (the “Offer Conditions”). The consummation of the Offer, and the obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer, shall be subject only to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the satisfaction, or waiver by Merger Sub, of the Offer Conditions.

(b)Terms and Conditions. To the extent permitted by Law, Merger Sub expressly reserves the right (in its sole discretion) to waive any of the conditions to the Offer, and to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that except with the prior written approval of the Company (in its sole discretion), Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to, (i) decrease the Offer Price, (ii) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iii) reduce the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock sought to be purchased in the Offer, (iv) amend, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, the Termination Condition or the other conditions set forth in clause (b)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Annex I, (v) impose conditions to the Offer that are in addition to the Offer Conditions set forth in Annex I hereto or amend, modify or supplement any condition to the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of Company Common Stock, (vi) except as provided in Section 1.01(c) or Section 1.01(d), terminate, accelerate, extend or otherwise modify or amend the Expiration Date, or (vii) provide any “subsequent offering period” (or any extension thereof) within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act.

(c)Expiration and Extension of the Offer. Unless extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at one minute after 11:59 PM (Eastern time) on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the commencement of the Offer (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) (such date and time, the “Initial Expiration Date”). In the event that the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, then the Offer shall expire on the date and at the time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later date and time to which

2

the Initial Expiration Date has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Merger Sub may extend the Expiration Date at any time with the Company’s written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Article IX:

(i)Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer (A) for any period required by any Law or rules, regulations, interpretations or positions of the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ applicable to the Offer (including in order to comply with Exchange Act Rule 14e-1(b) in respect of any change in the Offer Price) and (B) in consecutive increments of up to ten (10) Business Days each (or such longer period as the parties hereto may agree in writing), until all waiting periods (and any extensions thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer under the HSR Act and any foreign antitrust or competition-related Laws shall have expired or been terminated; and

(ii)if, as of any Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, Merger Sub may, without the Company’s consent, extend the Offer on one or more occasions in consecutive increments of up to ten (10) Business Days each (or such longer period as the parties hereto may agree in writing), until such time as all Offer Conditions are satisfied or waived;

provided, however, that, without the Company’s written consent, Merger Sub shall not extend the Offer beyond the earlier of the End Date and the valid termination of this Agreement in compliance with Article IX. If, (A) as of any Expiration Date, any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition) is not satisfied and has not been waived by Merger Sub in its sole discretion, or (B) as of any Expiration Date, all Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived by Merger Sub in its sole discretion, other than the Minimum Condition, then on every occasion under clause (A) and on no more than three (3) occasions under clause (B), at the request of the Company, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer for an additional period of up to ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as the parties hereto may agree) to permit such Offer Condition(s) to be satisfied; provided, however, that, without the Company’s written consent, Merger Sub shall not extend the Offer, and without Merger Sub’s prior written consent, Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer, in each case beyond the earlier of the End Date and the termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 1.01(c) shall be deemed to impair, limit or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of the parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Article IX.

(d)Termination of the Offer. Merger Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to its Expiration Date (as it may be extended and re-extended in accordance with Section 1.01(c)) without the prior written consent of the Company, except if this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with ýArticle IX. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article IX, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant thereto. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly return, and shall cause any depositary acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered shares of Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof and Merger Sub shall not (and

3

Parent shall cause Merger Sub not to) accept any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer.

(e)Payment for Company Common Stock. Subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the Offer Conditions, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly after (and no later than the first (1st) Business Day after) the Expiration Date accept for payment all shares of Company Common Stock that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (the time of such acceptance the “Acceptance Time”) and promptly after the Acceptance Time pay for such shares (and in any event no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the Acceptance Time pay for substantially all such shares); provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company (in its sole discretion), Merger Sub shall not accept for payment or pay for any shares of Company Common Stock if, as a result, Merger Sub would acquire less than the number of shares of Company Common Stock necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of Section 7.13, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub on a timely basis all of the funds necessary to pay for any and all shares of Company Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to accept in the Offer and to purchase pursuant to the Offer and this Agreement, and shall cause Merger Sub to perform all of Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement. The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid to the holder thereof in cash, without interest, and net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 3.02(g).

(f)Schedule TO and Offer Documents. As soon as practicable on the date of the commencement of the Offer in accordance with Section 1.01(a), Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO shall include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase, a form of letter of transmittal, a form of summary advertisement and any schedule or form required to be filed pursuant to the Instructions to Schedule TO (collectively, together with any amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Offer Documents”). Merger Sub may, but shall not be required to, provide guaranteed delivery procedures for the tender of shares of Company Common Stock in the Offer; provided, however, that if Merger Sub provides guaranteed delivery procedures, for purposes of determining whether the Minimum Condition has been satisfied, Parent and Merger Sub shall include for purposes of its determination thereof shares of Company Common Stock tendered in the Offer pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures (and such shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to be validly tendered) if and only if shares of Company Common Stock subject to such guarantees have been received by, or on behalf of, Merger Sub as of the Expiration Date. Parent and Merger Sub agree to cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, as and to the extent required by federal securities Laws, including the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Offer Documents to (i) comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and (ii) as of the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the holders of Company Common Stock, not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is made by Parent or Merger

4

Sub with respect to information supplied by the Company for inclusion in the Offer Documents. Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly notify the other party and correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents, if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by Law, and Parent and Merger Sub agree to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Company Common Stock, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Laws, or by the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ. Except following an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents before they are filed with the SEC, and Parent and Merger Sub shall consider in good faith any comments from the Company or its counsel. In addition, except following an Adverse Recommendation Change, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide in writing to the Company and its counsel any written comments or other material written communications (and shall orally describe any oral comments or other material oral communication), that Parent and Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff or any other Governmental Entity with respect to the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents promptly after receipt, and any written or oral responses thereto. Except following an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or any other Governmental Entity or its staff, including a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such responses, which comments Parent and Merger Sub shall consider in good faith. Parent and Merger Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any such comments.

Section 1.02Company Actions

(a)Schedule 14D-9. On the date that the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, the Company shall, in a manner that complies with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, including Rule 14d-9 thereunder, file with the SEC a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, contain the Company Recommendation and include the notice and other information required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL. The Company further agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be disseminated to holders of Company Common Stock, as and to the extent required by federal securities Laws, including the Exchange Act. The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to (i) comply in all material respects with applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and (ii) as of the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the holders of Company Common Stock, not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9. Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly notify the other party and correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9, if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws, and the Company agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as

5

so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Company Common Stock, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Laws, or by the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ. Except for a filing on Schedule 14D-9 to disclose an Adverse Recommendation Change, Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 before it is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments from Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel. In addition, except following an Adverse Recommendation Change (and except for comments or communications relating to a filing on Schedule 14D-9 to disclose an Adverse Recommendation Change), the Company shall provide in writing to Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel any written comments or other material written communications (and shall orally describe any oral comments or other material oral communication), that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff or any other Governmental Entity with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt, and any written or oral responses thereto. Except following an Adverse Recommendation Change (and except for responses relating to a filing on Schedule 14D-9 to disclose an Adverse Recommendation Change), Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or any other Governmental Entity or its staff, including a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such responses, which comments the Company shall consider in good faith. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any such comments.

(b)Company Information. In connection with the Offer the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof) furnish to Merger Sub and Parent a list, as of the most recent practicable date, of the stockholders of the Company, mailing labels and any available listing or computer files containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Company Common Stock, and lists of security positions of Company Common Stock held in stock depositories (including updated lists of stockholders, mailing labels, listings or files of securities positions) and such other assistance as Parent, Merger Sub or their agents may reasonably request from time to time in connection with the Offer and the Merger. Except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger, Parent and Merger Sub and their agents shall: (i) hold in confidence the information contained in any such lists of stockholders, mailing labels and listings, computer files or files of securities positions in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Company consents to the use by Parent and Merger Sub of such information as is necessary to communicate the Offer and the Merger to the holders of Company Common Stock, and acknowledges that such use does not constitute a breach of any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement), (ii) use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger, and (iii) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article IX, Parent and Merger Sub shall deliver (and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause their agents to deliver) to the Company or destroy any and all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession or control and, if requested by the Company, promptly certify to the Company in writing that all such material has been returned or destroyed.

Corporation in accordance with Section 3.01(b) and shares of restricted Company Common Stock to be canceled and converted in accordance with Section 3.04(c)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”) and net of any withholding. All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(d)Adjustments to the Offer Price and Merger Consideration. Without limiting the restrictions set forth in Section 6.01, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

Section 3.02    Exchange of Certificates; Payment Fund

(a)Depository Agent and Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, at its sole cost and expense, appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Depository Agent”) for the holders of Company Common Stock to receive the aggregate Offer Price to which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to ýSection 1.01(a) and to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of Company Common Stock to receive the aggregate Merger Consideration to which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(c). Immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall deposit with the Depository Agent cash sufficient to make the payment of the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 1.01(e). Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent, cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 3.01(c). All such cash deposited pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) is hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund.”

(b)Letter of Transmittal. As reasonably promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock who is entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01(c) a form of letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, shall be in such form and have such other provisions (including customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to shares held in book-entry form) as Parent may specify subject to the Company’s reasonable approval, and shall be prepared prior to the Closing), together with instructions thereto.

(c)Merger Consideration Received in Connection with Exchange. Upon (i) in the case of shares of Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate, the surrender of

9

such Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, or (ii) in the case of shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form, the receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent, in each case together with such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 3.01(c). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Company Common Stock (or, if such Company Common Stock is held in book-entry form, proper evidence of such transfer) is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.02(c), each share of Company Common Stock, and any Certificate with respect thereto, shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon and net of any withholding, that the holders of shares of Company Common Stock are entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to Section 3.01(c). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form).

(d)No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Subject to Section 3.02(e), if, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) are presented to Parent or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

(e)No Liability. Any portion of the Payment Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) made available to the Paying Agent that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) twelve (12) months after the Effective Time will be returned to the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any such holder who has not tendered its Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) for the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.02(c) prior to such time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for delivery of the Merger Consideration, without interest and net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 3.02(g), in respect of such holder’s surrender of their Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock; provided, that none of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Law.

10


(f)Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash in the Payment Fund if and as directed by Parent; provided, that such investment shall be in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations of issuers organized under the Law of a state of the United States of America, rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers’ acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion, or in mutual funds investing in such assets. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to, and be the property of, Parent. No investment losses resulting from investment of the Payment Fund shall diminish the rights of any of the Company’s stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration or any other payment as provided herein. To the extent there are losses with respect to such investments or the Payment Fund diminishes for any other reason below the level required to make prompt cash payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 3.01(c), Parent shall reasonably promptly replace or restore the cash in the Payment Fund so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make such cash payments.

(g)Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Depository Agent and the Paying Agent (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Company Common Stock and any holder of an award described in Section 3.04 pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law. Each such payor shall take all action that may be necessary to ensure that any such amounts so withheld are promptly and properly remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. Amounts so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(h)Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, pay the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Merger Sub may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in a reasonable sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 3.03    Dissenting Shares.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that holders thereof are entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has properly exercised and perfected his or her demand for appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be

11

converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, the Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, but the holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive such consideration as shall be determined pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his or her right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL (whether occurring before, at or after the Effective Time), such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, and such shares shall not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of an equity owner of the Surviving Corporation or of a stockholder of Parent.

(b)The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments, notices or demands served pursuant to the DGCL received by the Company relating to appraisal demands, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing.

Each Company Stock Option with a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be canceled without consideration as of the Effective Time.

(c)Company RSUs and Restricted Stock.

(d)Performance-Vesting Awards.

(i)With respect to each Performance-Vesting Award for which the applicable performance period has ended prior to the Effective Time, such award shall be treated for all purposes as a Company RSU under Section 3.04(c) and the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such award shall be the number of shares earned based on actual performance during the applicable performance period.

(ii)With respect to each Performance-Vesting Award the vesting of which is based upon the attainment of annual recurring revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets and with respect to which the applicable performance period is ongoing immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of shares subject to such award shall be the number determined based on attainment of 100% of target for both metrics and such award shall otherwise be treated for all purposes as a Company RSU under Section 3.04(c) with respect to such number of shares of Company Common Stock.

(iii)With respect to each Performance-Vesting Award the vesting of which is based upon relative total shareholder return with respect to the Company Common Stock over a specified period and with respect to which the applicable performance period is ongoing immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall, prior to the Effective Time, determine in good faith and in consultation with Parent the number of shares of Company Common Stock earned under such award in accordance with the applicable award agreement and such award shall otherwise be treated for all purposes as a Company RSU under Section 3.04(c) with respect to such number of shares of Company Common Stock.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering any Company Stock Plan) shall take all such actions as are necessary to approve and effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04, including making any determinations and/or adopting resolutions of the Company Board or a committee thereof or any administrator of a Company Stock Plan as may be necessary.

Prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall exercise, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

Section 6.03    No Solicitation by the Company; Company Recommendation.

(a)Except as expressly permitted by Section 6.03, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries (and shall instruct its and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, consultants, legal counsel, financial advisors and agents and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”)) to: (i) following execution of this Agreement, immediately cease any existing solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to any inquiry, proposal, discussion, offer or request that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to, or result in, an Alternative Proposal (an “Inquiry”); (ii) (A) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the date hereof, request the prompt return or destruction (to the extent provided for by the applicable confidentiality agreement) of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person (other than Parent) that has, within the one (1)-year period prior to the date of this Agreement, made or indicated an intention to make an Inquiry and (B) enforce the provisions of

43

any existing confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement entered into with respect to any Inquiry (provided that the Company shall be permitted to grant waivers of, and not to enforce, any standstill provision to the extent necessary to permit the counterparty thereto to make an Alternative Proposal directly to the Company Board in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.03); (iii) from and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.03, not, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or facilitate the submission of any Inquiry or an Alternative Proposal, (B) furnish non-public information to or afford access to the business, employees, officers, contracts, properties, assets, books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to any Person in connection with an Inquiry or an Alternative Proposal or (C) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to an Inquiry or an Alternative Proposal (other than informing Persons of the existence of the provisions set forth in this Agreement or contacting any Person making an Alternative Proposal to ascertain facts or clarify terms and conditions for the sole purpose of the Company Board reasonably informing itself about such Alternative Proposal); and (iv) until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.03, not, directly or indirectly, (A) approve, agree to, accept, endorse, recommend or submit to a vote of its stockholders any Alternative Proposal, (B) fail to make, or withdraw, qualify, modify or amend, in a manner adverse to Parent and Merger Sub, the Company Recommendation (or recommend an Alternative Proposal), (C) take any action to exempt any Person from the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL or any other applicable state takeover statute, (D) make any public statement, filing or release inconsistent with the Company Recommendation, (E) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation within three (3) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing, (F) fail to recommend, in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, against any Alternative Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act within ten (10) days after the commencement of such Alternative Proposal, (G) approve, adopt or recommend any Alternative Proposal, or propose publicly to approve, adopt or recommend, any Alternative Proposal, (any of the foregoing clauses (A) through (F) in this subsection (iv), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (H) enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar Contract (except for Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements) relating to or providing for any Alternative Proposal or a potential Alternative Proposal or requiring, or reasonably expected to cause, the Company to abandon, terminate, materially delay or fail to consummate, or that would otherwise materially impede or interfere with, the Merger, the Offer or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby. It is agreed that any Willful Breach of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.03(a) by any Affiliate of the Company or any Representative of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed a Willful Breach of this Agreement by the Company.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.03(a), if at any time following the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Time the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives receives a bona fide unsolicited written Alternative Proposal (which Alternative Proposal did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.03) by any Person, the Company and its Representatives may, prior to (but not after) the Acceptance Time, take the actions set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 6.03(b) if

44

the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors), that such Alternative Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law: (i) furnish non-public information to and afford access to the business, employees, officers, contracts, properties, assets, books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person who made such Alternative Proposal and such Person’s Representatives pursuant to (but only pursuant to) one or more Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements (provided that the Company has previously furnished, made available or provided access to Parent to any such non-public information or substantially concurrently (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours thereafter) does so); and (ii) enter into or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding such Alternative Proposal.

(c)Reasonably promptly (but in no event more than twenty-four (24) hours) following receipt of any Alternative Proposal from and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall advise Parent of the receipt of such Alternative Proposal, and the terms and conditions of such Alternative Proposal (including, in each case, the identity of the Person making any such Alternative Proposal), and the Company shall as reasonably promptly as practicable provide to Parent: (i) a copy of such Alternative Proposal, if in writing; or (ii) a written summary of the material terms of such Alternative Proposal, if oral. In addition, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed in all material respects on a reasonably current basis of the status and material terms (including material amendments or proposed material amendments to) of such Alternative Proposal.

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, (i) if (A) the Company receives a bona fide unsolicited written Alternative Proposal (which Alternative Proposal did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.03) that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal and (B) the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d) to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; and (ii) if in response to material events, changes or developments in circumstances, unrelated to an Alternative Proposal, that were not known to or reasonably foreseeable by the Company Board as of or prior to the date hereof, the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, that the Company Board may not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.03(d) unless:

(1)the Company shall have first provided prior written notice to Parent (which notice shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change or termination of this Agreement), at least four (4) Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”), of the Company’s intention to take

45

any action permitted under this Section 6.03(d), which notice shall, if applicable, specify the reasons for the proposed Adverse Recommendation Change and, if applicable, the material terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal (including the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal) and, if applicable, provide a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreement; and

(2)prior to making an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or terminating this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, the Company shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that, (x) in the case of Section 6.03(d)(i), such Alternative Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal and (y) in the case of Section 6.03(d)(i) or Section 6.03(d)(ii), the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would not be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law. In the event of any material revisions to an Alternative Proposal constituting a Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.03(d) with respect to such new written notice, except that references to the four (4) Business Day period above shall be deemed to be references to a two (2) Business Day period.
For the avoidance of doubt, if Parent, within four (4) Business Days (or two (2) Business Days, in the event of a new written notice following material revisions to a Superior Proposal) following its receipt of a Superior Proposal notice makes an offer that, as determined in good faith by the Company Board (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisors), results in the applicable Alternative Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal, then the Company shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d) as a result of such Alternative Proposal.
(e)Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Alternative Proposal or from making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders required (after consultation with outside legal advisors) under applicable Law; provided, that this Section 6.03(e) shall not permit the Company or the Company Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.03. Issuance of a “stop, look and listen” communication that complies with the requirements of Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act by or on behalf of the Company shall not be considered an Adverse Recommendation Change and shall not require the giving of notice or compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.03(d).

(f)For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)“Alternative Proposal” means any bona fide proposal or offer (whether or not in writing) with respect to any (A) merger, consolidation,

46

share exchange, other business combination or similar transaction involving the Company and a third party (including any “group” as defined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act); (B) sale, contribution or other disposition, directly or indirectly of any business or assets of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries representing 20% or more of the consolidated revenues, net income or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (C) issuance, sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly, to any Person (or the shareholders of any Person) or “group” of Persons (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) of securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such securities) representing 20% or more of the voting power of the Company; (D) transaction in which any Person (or the shareholders of any Person) shall acquire, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership, or the right to acquire beneficial ownership, or formation of any “group” which beneficially owns or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of, securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such securities) representing 20% or more of the voting power of the Company; or (E) any combination of the foregoing (in each case, other than the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(ii)“Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written proposal or offer with respect to an Alternative Proposal (with all percentages in the definition of Alternative Proposal increased to 90%) made by a Person or “group”, on terms which the Company Board determines in its good faith (after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors) to be more favorable to the holders of Company Common Stock (solely in their capacity as such) from a financial point of view than the Merger and the Offer, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement and taking into account all other financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such Alternative Proposal that the Company Board considers in good faith to be appropriate (including the conditionality, and the timing and likelihood of consummation of such proposal).

(iii)“Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement containing terms that are not materially less restrictive of, and not materially more favorable to, a third party or “group” that is a party to such agreement and its Affiliates and Representatives than the terms set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement are to Parent and its Affiliates and Representatives, including with respect to standstill provisions; provided, however, that such confidentiality agreement shall not prohibit compliance by the Company with any of the provisions of this Section 6.03.

ARTICLE VII
Additional Agreements

Section 7.01    Certain Filings.

(a)The Company and Parent shall cooperate with one another in connection with the preparation of the Schedule 14D-9 and the Offer Documents and any other documents required to be filed by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub with the SEC in connection with the Merger, the Offer and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including furnishing information reasonably required in connection therewith.

(b)The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) the forms, documents or other materials described in Section 6.01(n) of the Company Disclosure Letter, subject to the review and consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.02    Access to Information; Confidentiality; Cooperation.

(a)Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, afford to Parent and to the Representatives of Parent reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all their respective properties, books and records and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, furnish reasonably promptly to Parent all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request for any reasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (in each case, in a manner so as to not interfere in any material respect with the normal business operations of the Company or any Company Subsidiary); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to permit such access or make such disclosure, to the extent it determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that such disclosure or access would (a) violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement or other Contract with a third party (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure); (b) result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege); or (c) violate any Law (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such access or make such disclosure in a manner that does not violate Law). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to provide any access or make any disclosure to Parent pursuant to this Section 7.02 to the extent such access or information is reasonably pertinent to a litigation where the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 7.02 shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement, dated as of June 21, 2019 between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Section 7.03    Efforts to Consummate.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of Parent and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to reasonably promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective as reasonably promptly as practicable after the date hereof and in any event no later than the End Date the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) preparing as reasonably promptly as practicable all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings, ruling requests and other documents and to obtain as reasonably promptly as practicable all Consents necessary or advisable to be obtained from any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Governmental Approvals”) and (ii) as reasonably promptly as practicable taking all steps as may be necessary to obtain all such Governmental Approvals. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to (A) make an appropriate and complete filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and make an appropriate and complete filing in respect of the Governmental Approval(s) listed on Section 7.03(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter pursuant to applicable Regulatory Law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case within ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, (B) make all other filings pursuant to other Regulatory Laws that are necessary, proper, or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as reasonably promptly as practicable, and (C) not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act, or enter into any agreement with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) or the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other Governmental Entity not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Each of Parent and the Company shall supply as reasonably promptly as practicable any additional information or documentation that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Regulatory Law and use its reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and obtain approval under any other Regulatory Law as soon as possible and in any event no later than the End Date.

(b)Each of Parent and the Company shall, in connection with the actions referenced in Section 7.03(a) to obtain all Governmental Approvals under the HSR Act or any other Regulatory Laws, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in

49

connection with any communication, filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party; (ii) keep the other party and/or its counsel informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the FTC, the DOJ or any other U.S. or other Governmental Entity and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) to the extent practicable, consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other person, and to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other Governmental Entity or other person, give the other party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; and (iv) permit the other party and/or its counsel to review in advance any submission, filing or communication (and documents submitted therewith) intended to be given by it to the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity; provided that materials may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the businesses of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. Parent and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material to be provided to the other under this Section 7.03(b) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Parent or the Company, as the case may be) or its legal counsel.

(c)In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Sections 7.03(a) and 7.03(b), Parent and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to (x) avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing on or before the End Date, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of such businesses, product lines or assets of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, and (y) otherwise taking or committing to take actions that after the Closing may limit the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ freedom of action with respect to, or its or their ability to operate and/or retain, one or more of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries; provided, however, any action contemplated by clauses (x) and (y) is conditioned upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including Merger Sub) shall be required to and, without the prior written consent of Parent, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary may, (A) litigate with or otherwise participate in any legal proceeding with any Governmental Entity in connection with obtaining any consent or approval required in connection with this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) accept or agree to any limitation on ownership or operations, or to dispose of or hold separate any portion of the business or assets of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, or otherwise undertake any action or enter into any agreement pursuant to this Section 7.03 if such limitation, disposal, hold separate or other action or agreement would reasonably be expected to have a Burdensome Effect. “Burdensome Effect” shall mean a material and adverse effect on Parent, the Company or their respective Affiliates, taken as a

50

whole, with the understanding that any such effect that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to reduce the combined annual revenues of Parent, the Company and their respective Affiliates by $54,000,000 or more shall be deemed a “Burdensome Effect.”

(d)Each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable, if Parent determines it is advisable or CFIUS requests or requires filings related thereto, subject to Section 7.03(g), CFIUS Clearance. Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly furnish to the other copies of any notices or communications received by such party or any of its Affiliates from CFIUS or any of its constituent agencies with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, unless otherwise prohibited by any Governmental Entity or Law, and each of Parent and the Company shall permit the other’s counsel to have an opportunity to review in advance, and such party shall consider in good faith the views of such counsel in connection with, any proposed communications by such party or its Affiliates to CFIUS concerning the transactions contemplated hereby (except for personal identifier information or other confidential information concerning Company or its Subsidiaries or Parent or its Affiliates provided to CFIUS).

(e)In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 7.03(d), as promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, if Parent determines it is advisable to make, or CFIUS requests or requires, filings related to CFIUS Clearance, Parent and the Company shall prepare, prefile and then, as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of any and all comments on the prefiling from CFIUS, file with CFIUS a joint voluntary notice pursuant to the DPA with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to provide CFIUS with any additional or supplemental information requested by CFIUS during their respective reviews as promptly as practicable, and in all cases within the amount of time allowed by CFIUS in accordance with the DPA, as applicable.

(f)Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to, enter into any agreement, transaction or any agreement to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or materially and adversely affect Parent’s or Merger Sub’s ability to: (i) obtain all Governmental Approvals under the HSR Act or any other Regulatory Laws as promptly as practicable and in any event before the End Date; and (ii) avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that restrains, prevents or delays the Closing.

(g)Parent shall have, except where prohibited by applicable Law, responsibility for determining the strategy for dealing with any Governmental Entity, including the DOJ and the FTC, regarding all Regulatory Laws relating to antitrust matters; provided, that, Parent shall consult with the Company in a reasonable manner and consider in good faith the views and comments of the Company in connection with the foregoing.

Section 7.04    Third-Party Consents. If reasonably requested by Parent, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to, and obtain, or cause to be

51

obtained, all consents, approvals and authorizations that are reasonably requested by Parent, but excluding consents of Governmental Entities, which are governed by Section 7.03. For the avoidance of doubt, obtaining any such consents, approvals or authorizations shall not be an Offer Condition or a condition to the Closing.

Section 7.05    Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a)For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time) now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as provided in their respective governing or organizational documents and any indemnification or other similar agreements of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall perform its obligations thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each individual who is as of the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or who is as of the date of this Agreement, or who thereafter commences prior to the Effective Time, serving at the request of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another Person (the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (“Losses”), incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Company Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a director or officer of another Person, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. In the event of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, (x) each Company Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding from the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the organizational documents and any indemnification or other similar agreements of the Surviving Corporation as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and only to the extent required by the DGCL or the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) or any such indemnification or other similar agreements, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final adjudication that such person is not entitled to indemnification and (y) the Surviving Corporation shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any such matter.

(b)For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall either cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the

Company or the Company Subsidiaries or provide substitute policies for the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, in either case, of not less than the existing coverage and having other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time (with insurance carriers having at least an “A” rating by A.M. Best with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance), except that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies in respect of any one (1) policy year more than 300% of the aggregate annual premium of the policy currently in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum Amount”), and if the Surviving Corporation is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section 7.05(b) it shall obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for the years within such six (6)-year period for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Amount, in respect of each policy year within such period. In lieu of such insurance, prior to the Closing Date the Company may, at its option, purchase a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy and fiduciary liability insurance policy for the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, such tail to provide coverage in an amount not less than the existing coverage and to have other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided that in no event shall the cost of any such tail policy in respect of any one (1) policy year exceed the Maximum Amount.

(d)The provisions of this Section 7.05 (i) shall survive consummation of the Merger, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified or insured party (including the Company Indemnified Parties), his or her heirs and representatives, and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, exculpation or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

53

any Governmental Entity in connection with the this Agreement, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent.

(b)The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, but only to the extent that doing so would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s legal counsel, jeopardize attorney-client privilege, regarding any suit, action or other proceeding commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or its current or former directors or officers by any stockholder of the Company relating to, arising out of or involving this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby (“Transaction Litigation”). The Company shall consult with Parent with respect to, and give Parent the opportunity to participate (subject to a customary joint defense agreement, and at Parent’s expense) in, but not control, the defense and settlement of any Transaction Litigation and shall not compromise or settle in full or in part any such Transaction Litigation unless Parent shall have consented in writing thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.06(b), any suit, action or other proceeding relating to Dissenting Shares shall be governed by Section 3.03.

Section 7.07    Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may take such further actions, if any, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to ensure that the dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including any derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any officer or director of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act are exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.08    Stock Exchange De-listing. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable on its part under Law and rules and policies of NASDAQ to cause the delisting of the Company Common Stock from NASDAQ as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (provided that no such action shall be required to be effective prior to the Effective Time) and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting.

Section 7.09    14d-10.

The Company and Parent agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties.

Section 7.11    Director and Officer Resignations. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of the resignation of the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than directors of the Subsidiaries whom Parent determines shall continue to serve in such capacities following the Effective Time), effective at the Effective Time.

Section 7.12    Employment and Company Benefits.

(c)Except as otherwise required under applicable Law, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, give Company Employees full credit for such Company Employees’ service with the Company for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and solely with respect to vacation and severance plans, determination of the level of benefits under any benefit plans

55

maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate of either in which a Company Employee participates to the same extent recognized by the Company immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.

(d)Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations otherwise applicable to Company Employees and their eligible dependents under any plan of Parent or any of its Affiliates that provides health benefits in which Company Employees participate following the Closing, other than any limitations that were in effect with respect to such employees as of the Closing Date under the analogous Company Benefit Plan; (ii) honor any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by the Company Employees and their eligible dependents under the health plans in which they participated immediately prior to the Closing Date during the portion of the calendar year prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under health plans of Parent or any of its Affiliates in which they are eligible to participate after the Closing Date in the same plan year in which such deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums were incurred; and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Company Employee and his or her eligible dependents on or after the Closing Date, in each case to the extent such Company Employee or eligible dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Company Benefit Plan prior to the Closing Date.

(e)From and after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor the terms of each Collective Agreement or similar agreement applicable to the Company Employees set forth in Section 7.12(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter to the extent required by applicable Law.

If and to the extent any determinations under the applicable 2019 Bonus Plan are not based solely on the achievement of pre-established, objective financial performance measures (including in respect of any proposed discretionary payments), the Company shall provide any such determinations, together with the information used to make such determinations and comparable information regarding, and the amounts of, the 2018 and 2017 annual bonuses paid out under corresponding plans, to Parent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Time. Parent will have the right to review such determinations and raise, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, any good faith objections to such determinations if it believes they were inconsistent with the Company’s past practices under the applicable plan, and the Company will cause the compensation committee of its Board

56

of Directors (or their designee) to review and consider any such objections in good faith prior to finalizing its determinations.

(g)From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent, on the one hand, and, in respect of any broad-based communications to Company Employees Parent shall provide the Company, on the other hand, with advance copies of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment on, all material communications to Company Employees relating to employee benefits, post-Closing terms of employment and other matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

(h)The provisions of this Section 7.12 are solely for the benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and nothing in this Section 7.12, express or implied, shall (i) create any right in any employee of the Company to continued employment by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate the employment of any employee at any time for any reason; (ii) require Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation to continue any Company Benefit Plans or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Closing Date; (iii) confer upon any Company Employee or legal representative or beneficiary thereof or any other Person any third party beneficiary rights or other rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement; or (iv) amend or modify, be deemed to amend or modify or be treated as an amendment or modification to any Company Benefit Plan, Collective Agreement or any other employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement of Parent, the Company, any Company Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates.

Within the time periods required by the terms of the Indenture, the Company shall take all actions required by, or reasonably requested by Parent pursuant to and in compliance with, the Indenture and any applicable Law, to be performed by the Company prior to the Effective Time as a result of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the giving of any notices that may be required, or reasonably requested by Parent, prior to the Effective Time and delivery to the trustee under the Indenture (the “Trustee”), noteholders or other applicable Person, as applicable, of any documents or instruments required, or reasonably requested by Parent, to be delivered prior to the Effective Time to the Trustee, noteholders or other applicable Person, in each case, in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or as otherwise required by, or reasonably requested by Parent pursuant to and in compliance with, the Indenture and any applicable Law; provided that, the Company shall deliver a copy of any such notice or other document to Parent at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period of time as may be required to comply with the terms of the Indenture or any applicable Law or regulation) prior to delivering or entering into such notice or other document in accordance with the terms of the

57

Indenture or any applicable Law. No event has occurred that has resulted in, or would require, an adjustment under the terms of the Indenture to the conversion rate applicable to the Convertible Notes (which remains 38.7034 shares of Company Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes) or that has resulted in or would result in the Convertible Notes becoming convertible into Reference Property (as defined in the Indenture) and the Company will not take any action that would result in such an adjustment or in the Convertible Notes becoming convertible into Reference Property other than as a result of the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Parent shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees.

Section 9.04    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time prior to the Effective Time, but only by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the party to be bound thereby. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
CARBONITE, INC.
ARTICLE ONE
The name of the corporation is Carbonite, Inc. (the “Corporation”).
ARTICLE TWO
The registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is located at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, and the name of the Corporation’s registered agent for service of process in the State of Delaware at such address is Corporation Service Company.
ARTICLE THREE
The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).
ARTICLE FOUR
The total number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation has authority to issue is 1,000 shares, which will be designated common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
ARTICLE FIVE
The number of directors of the Corporation shall be such as fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”). Unless, and except to the extent that, the Bylaws so require, the election of directors need not be by written ballot.
ARTICLE SIX
The board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) may from time to time adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws, subject to the power of the stockholders to adopt any Bylaws or to amend or repeal any Bylaws adopted, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors.



ARTICLE SEVEN
A.    LIABILITY
No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any stockholder for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for any matter in respect of which such director shall be liable under Section 174 of the DGCL or any amendment thereto or shall be liable by reason that, in addition to any and all other requirements for such liability, such director (1) shall have breached the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (2) shall have acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or, in failing to act, shall have acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or (3) shall have derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL hereafter is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
B.    INDEMNIFICATION
Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is in any way involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), including any appeal therefrom, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another entity or enterprise, or was a director or officer of a foreign or domestic corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the Corporation or of another entity or enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation (each, an “Indemnitee”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall advance all expenses incurred by any such person in defense of any such proceeding prior to its final determination, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. In any proceeding against the Corporation to enforce these rights, such person shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification and the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that such person has not met the standards of conduct for permissible indemnification set forth in the DGCL. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article Seven shall be presumed to have been relied upon by the directors and officers of the Corporation in serving or continuing to serve the Corporation and shall be enforceable as contract rights. Such rights shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled. The Corporation may, upon written demand presented by a director or officer of the Corporation or of a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation, or by a person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another entity or enterprise, enter into contracts to provide such persons with specified rights to indemnification, which contrasts may confer rights and protections to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended and in effect from time to time.
If a claim under this Article Seven is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time


thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce the right to be advanced expenses incurred in defending any proceeding prior to its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the claimant shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification and the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct for permissible indemnification set forth in the DGCL.
If the DGCL hereafter is amended to permit the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment, the indemnification rights conferred by this Article Seven shall be broadened to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
No amendment, termination or repeal of this Article Seven or of the relevant provisions of the DGCL or any other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions, or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such amendment, termination, or repeal.
If an Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Article Seven to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, or amounts paid in settlement to which the Indemnitee is entitled.
If the Corporation is merged into or consolidated with another corporation and the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation shall assume the obligations of the Corporation under this Article Seven with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions, or facts occurring prior to the date of such merger or consolidation.
If this Article Seven or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation, whether civil, criminal, or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article Seven that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
ARTICLE EIGHT
The directors shall have powers without the assent or vote of the stockholders to fix and vary the amount to be reserved for any proper purpose; to authorize and cause to be executed


mortgages and liens upon all or any part of the property of the Corporation; to determine the use and disposition of any surplus or net profits; and to fix the times for the declaration and payment of dividends.
ARTICLE NINE
The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interest or for any other reason.
ARTICLE TEN
In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of the State of Delaware, of this Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”), and of any Bylaws from time to time made by the stockholders; provided, however, that no Bylaws so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such Bylaw had not been made.
ARTICLE ELEVEN
Section 203 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, shall not apply to the Corporation.
ARTICLE TWELVE
The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law, and all rights and powers conferred herein on stockholders, directors and officers are subject to this reserved power.
