Section 2.2. Treatment of Equity Awards and ESPP.

(a) Company RSU Awards.

(i) Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between Parent, the Company and a holder of a Company RSU Award (including as contemplated by Section 2.2(a)(ii)), at the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU Award, whether vested or unvested, will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest and subject to applicable Tax withholdings) equal to (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the portion of each Company RSU Award that is vested immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with its terms (including any portion of such Company RSU Award that becomes vested as a result of the Contemplated Transactions), multiplied by (B) the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Company RSU Consideration”), which Company RSU Consideration will be payable net of applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

-6-

(ii) The Company acknowledges that, subject to Parent’s and Topco’s compliance with Section 5.24, Parent and Topco may seek, prior to the Closing, to agree with a holder of a Company RSU Award that, effective as of immediately following the Effective Time, such holder shall use all of such holder’s Company RSU Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i), at the election of the holder of such Company RSU Award, net of any applicable withholding Taxes (with respect to each such holder, the “Rollover Company RSU Consideration”), to subscribe for a number of Topco Common Units equal to (1) such holder’s Rollover Company RSU Consideration, divided by (2) the Per Share Merger Consideration; provided that, solely for purposes of administrative convenience, such Topco Common Units shall be provided to such holder in lieu of the Rollover Company RSU Consideration in full satisfaction of all rights to receive such Rollover Company RSU Consideration, and such holder shall be deemed to have received the Rollover Company RSU Consideration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts subject to applicable Tax withholdings if such holder does not otherwise elect to satisfy all applicable Tax withholding obligations arising from the vesting of the Company RSU Award at the Effective Time through a payment to the Company in cash on or prior to the Closing) and thereafter immediately contributed the Rollover Company RSU Consideration to Topco in exchange for such Topco Common Units. In lieu of the foregoing, Parent and Topco and the holder of a Company RSU Award may agree that such holder’s Company RSU Award may be settled in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award prior to the Closing, with the holder of such Company RSU Award satisfying all applicable withholding obligations arising from the vesting of the Company RSU Award at the Effective Time through a payment to the Company in cash on or prior to the Closing, and such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as Rollover Shares subject to the Additional Rollover Agreement among Parent, Topco and such holder. The Company agrees that, to the extent that Parent has identified to the Company in writing, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the individuals with whom it intends to seek agreement with respect to a Rollover Company RSU Consideration, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts from and after such identification to permit Topco and Parent to contact such persons directly and reasonably facilitate discussions between such persons and Parent and Topco with respect to the subscription for Topco Common Units, as provided in this Section 2.2(a)(ii) (the “Company RSU Rollover Agreements”).

(b) Company PSU Awards.

(i) Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between Parent, the Company and a holder of a Company PSU Award (including as contemplated by Section 2.2(b)(ii)), at the Effective Time, each outstanding Company PSU Award will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest and subject to applicable Tax withholdings) equal to (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU Award to the extent vested immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with its terms (with the vesting level determined assuming target performance is achieved (or such higher level if required under the terms of such Company PSU Award)), multiplied by (B) the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Company PSU Consideration”), which Company PSU Consideration will be payable net of applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

-7-

(ii) The Company acknowledges that, subject to Parent’s and Topco’s compliance with Section 5.24, Parent and Topco may seek, prior to the Closing, to agree with a holder of a Company PSU Award that, immediately following the Effective Time, such holder shall use all of such holder’s Company PSU Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i), at the election of the holder of such Company PSU Award, net of any applicable withholding Taxes (with respect to each such holder, the “Rollover Company PSU Consideration”), to subscribe for a number of Topco Common Units equal to (1) such holder’s Rollover Company PSU Consideration, divided by (2) the Per Share Merger Consideration; provided that, solely for purposes of administrative convenience, such Topco Common Units shall be provided to such holder in lieu of the Rollover Company PSU Consideration in full satisfaction of all rights to receive such Rollover Company PSU Consideration, and such holder shall be deemed to have received the Rollover Company PSU Consideration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts subject to applicable Tax withholdings if such holder does not otherwise elect to satisfy all applicable Tax withholding obligations arising from the vesting of the Company PSU Award at the Effective Time through a payment to the Company in cash on or prior to the Closing) and thereafter immediately contributed the Rollover Company PSU Consideration to Topco in exchange for such Topco Common Units. In lieu of the foregoing, Parent and Topco and the holder of a Company PSU Award may agree that such holder’s Company PSU Award may be settled in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU Award prior to the Closing, with the holder of such Company PSU Award satisfying all applicable withholding obligations arising from the vesting of the Company PSU Award (assuming target performance is achieved (or such higher level if required under the terms of such Company PSU Award)) at the Effective Time through a payment to the Company in cash on or prior to the Closing, and such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as Rollover Shares subject to the Additional Rollover Agreement among Parent, Topco and such holder. The Company agrees that, to the extent that Parent has identified to the Company in writing, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the individuals with whom it intends to seek agreement with respect to a Rollover Company PSU Consideration, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts from and after such identification to permit Topco and Parent to contact such persons directly, and reasonably facilitate discussions between such persons and Parent and Topco with respect to the subscription for Topco Common Units as provided in this Section 2.2(b)(ii) (the “Company PSU Rollover Agreements”).

(i) Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between Parent, the Company and the applicable holder of a Company Stock Option (including as contemplated by Section 2.2(c)(ii)), at the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Stock Option (other than a Company Out-of-the-Money Option), whether vested or unvested, will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest and subject to applicable Tax withholding) equal to (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option to the extent vested immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with its terms (including any portion of such Company Stock Option that becomes vested as a result of the Contemplated Transactions), multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option (the “Company Stock Option Consideration”), which Company Stock Option Consideration will be payable net of applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Company Out-of-the-Money Option, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration.

(ii) The Company acknowledges that, subject to Parent’s and Topco’s compliance with Section 5.24, Parent and Topco may seek, prior to the Closing, to agree with a holder of a Company Stock Option that, immediately following the Effective Time, such holder shall use all of such holder’s Company Stock Option Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii), at the election of the holder of such Company Stock Option, net of applicable withholding Taxes (with respect to each such holder, the “Rollover Company Stock Option Consideration”) to subscribe for a number of Topco Common Units equal to (1) such holder's Rollover Company Stock Option Consideration, divided by (2) the Per Share Merger Consideration; provided that, solely for purposes of administrative convenience, such Topco Common Units shall be provided to such holder in lieu of the Rollover Company Stock Option Consideration in full satisfaction of all rights to receive such Rollover Company Stock Option Consideration, and such holder shall be deemed to have received the Rollover Company Stock Option Consideration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts subject to applicable Tax withholdings if such holder does not otherwise elect to satisfy all applicable withholding obligations arising from the exercise of the Company Stock Option at the Effective Time through a payment to the Company in cash on or prior to the Closing) and thereafter immediately contributed the Rollover Company Stock Option Consideration to Topco in exchange for such Topco Common Units. In lieu of the foregoing, Parent and Topco and the holder of a Company Stock Option may agree that such holder shall exercise such Company Stock Option in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option prior to the Closing, with the holder of such Company Stock Option satisfying all applicable withholding obligations arising from the exercise of the Company Stock Option at the Effective Time through a payment to the Company in cash on or prior to the Closing, and such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as Rollover Shares subject to the Additional Rollover Agreement among Parent, Topco and such holder. The Company agrees that, to the extent that Parent has identified to the Company in writing, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the individuals with whom it intends to seek agreement with respect to Rollover Company Stock Option Consideration, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts from and after such identification to permit Topco and Parent to contact such persons directly, and facilitate discussions, between such persons and Parent and Topco with respect to such options to purchase Topco Common Units as provided in this Section 2.2(c)(ii) (the “Company Stock Option Rollover Agreements”).

(d) Payment Procedures. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date that is at least five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation, through its (or one of its Subsidiary’s) payroll system or payroll provider (or, in the case of any Company Equity Award that is held by a non-employee director or other non-employee Company service provider that received such Company Equity Award in such capacity, through the Company’s standard accounts payable procedures), shall pay to the applicable former holders of Company RSU Awards, Company PSU Awards and Company Stock Options (other than with respect to the Rollover Company RSU Consideration, the Rollover Company PSU Consideration and the Rollover Company Stock Option Consideration) an amount equal to the Company RSU Consideration, Company PSU Consideration and Company Stock Option Consideration, respectively, required to be paid to such former holders pursuant to this Section 2.2 (which amount will be payable net of any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.10, except as provided herein). The cash amount of the Company RSU Consideration, Company PSU Consideration and Company Stock Option Consideration are collectively referred to herein as the “Equity Award Consideration”. For the avoidance of doubt, solely for purposes of administrative convenience, no payment of cash will be made pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) with respect to the Rollover Company RSU Consideration, the Rollover Company PSU Consideration or the Rollover Company Stock Option Consideration, and such amounts are not included in the Equity Award Consideration.

(e) Necessary Further Actions. The Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) will take all action reasonably necessary or required to effect the treatment of Company Equity Awards under this Section 2.2 (including the satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act). All Company Equity Plans and awards thereunder will terminate as of the Effective Time (but subject to the consummation of the Merger). At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent and its counsel shall have the right to review and comment on all resolutions to be adopted by the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) pursuant to this Section 2.2, and the Company shall reflect all reasonable and timely provided comments of Parent made in good faith thereon.

(f) Treatment of Company ESPP. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company and the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) will take all actions that the Company and the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) determine to be reasonably necessary (including the adoption of resolutions) to (i) cause the offering period under the Company ESPP that is ongoing as of the date of this Agreement to be the final offering period under the Company ESPP and the options under the Company ESPP to be exercised on the earlier of (A) the scheduled purchase date for such offering period and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (with any participant payroll deductions not applied to the purchase of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Company ESPP promptly returned to the participant), (ii) prohibit any individual who is not participating in the Company ESPP as of the date of this Agreement from commencing participation in the Company ESPP following the date of this Agreement, (iii) prohibit participants in the Company ESPP from increasing their payroll deductions from those payroll deductions in effect as of the date of this Agreement and (iv) terminate the Company ESPP effective as of, and subject to, the Effective Time. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent and its counsel shall have the right to review and comment on all resolutions to be adopted by the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) pursuant to this Section 2.2(f), and the Company shall reflect all reasonable and timely provided comments of Parent made in good faith thereon.

Section 2.3. SLR Warrants and Contributed SLR Loan Receivables. Immediately prior to the Effective Time and pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the SLR Rollover Agreement, the SLR Warrants and the Contributed SLR Loan Receivables shall be contributed to Topco in exchange for Topco Series A Preferred Units and Topco Common Units, and subsequent to the consummation of the Merger and certain other transactions, the SLR Warrants and Contributed SLR Loan Receivables shall thereafter be contributed by Topco to Parent, and immediately upon receipt by Parent thereof, the SLR Warrants and Contributed SLR Loan Receivables shall thereafter be contributed by Parent to the Surviving Corporation. Each such SLR Warrant and the Contributed SLR Loan Receivables, as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the SLR Rollover Agreement, will be cancelled and retired, and in the case of SLR Warrants without any conversion thereof, and will cease to exist, and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto.

-10-

Section 2.4. Comerica Warrants. None of Topco, Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall assume the Comerica Warrants. Each of the Comerica Warrants that is outstanding and not exercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be terminated without payment or consideration in accordance with the terms thereof immediately prior to the Effective Time and all such Comerica Warrants shall no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist, and each holder thereof will cease to have any rights with respect thereto. Prior to the Effective Time and without limitation to the other provisions of this Section 2.4, the Company shall take all such actions as may be required or contemplated by the terms of the Comerica Warrants, including the giving of any written notices in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. The Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such written notice prior to the dispatch thereof, and the Company shall consider in good faith such comments.

Section 2.5. 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants. Each of the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and is not exercised prior to the Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with the terms thereof in connection with the Contemplated Transactions and from and after the Effective Time, shall be exercisable in exchange (by payment of the applicable exercise price or on a net exercise basis) for an amount of cash equal to (a) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that such 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant would have entitled the holder thereof to purchase immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to payment of the applicable exercise price or on a net exercise basis), multiplied by (b) the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest (the “2023 Pre-Funded Warrant Consideration”) (which amount will be payable net of any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.10), in accordance with the terms thereof. To the extent that any of the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised prior to the Effective Time, such 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants will be treated in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 2.6. 2023 Warrants. Each of the 2023 Warrants that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and is not exercised prior to the Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with the terms thereof in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. Prior to the Effective Time and without limitation to the other provisions of this Section 2.6, the Company shall take all such actions as may be required or contemplated by the terms of the 2023 Warrants, including the giving of any written notices in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. The Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such written notice prior to the dispatch thereof, and the Company shall consider in good faith such comments.

Section 2.7. Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if required by the DGCL (but only to the extent required thereby), any Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder or “beneficial owner” (as defined, for purposes of this Section 2.7, in Section 262(a) of the DGCL) who is entitled to demand and properly exercises and perfects its respective demand for appraisal of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration thereof unless such holder or beneficial owner fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise forfeits or loses his, her or its right to an appraisal of such Shares. From and after the Effective Time, a holder or beneficial owner of Shares who has properly exercised appraisal rights will not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such holder’s or owner’s Dissenting Shares, except those rights as are provided under Section 262 of the DGCL, and such Dissenting Shares will be cancelled and cease to exist. A holder or beneficial owner of Dissenting Shares will be entitled only to receive payment of the appraised value of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless, after the Effective Time, such holder or beneficial owner effectively withdraws or forfeits or loses his, her or its right to an appraisal of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, in which case such Shares will be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, pursuant to Section 2.1(a).

-11-

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

(c) If any holder or beneficial owner of Dissenting Shares effectively withdraws or loses (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s or beneficial owner’s right to obtain payment of the fair value of such holder’s Shares under the DGCL, then, as of the occurrence of such effective withdrawal or loss, such holder’s or beneficial owner’s Shares will no longer be Dissenting Shares and, if the occurrence of such effective withdrawal or loss is later than the Effective Time, will be treated as if such holder’s or beneficial owner’s Shares, as of the Effective Time, had been converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, as set forth in Section 2.1(a) (which amount will be payable net of any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.10).

Section 2.8. Paying Agent Matters; Exchange Payment; Surrender of Shares.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, (i) Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with a bank or trust company mutually acceptable to the Company and Parent (the “Paying Agent”), cash in an amount sufficient to pay, without duplication, the Company Share Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant Consideration, if any, pursuant to Section 2.5, and (ii) Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the Company, cash in an amount sufficient to pay (A) the aggregate Equity Award Consideration, the Rollover Company RSU Consideration, the Rollover Company PSU Consideration and the Rollover Company Stock Option Consideration, pursuant to Section 2.2(d) (provided that, to the extent applicable, as set forth in Section 2.2(a)(ii), Section 2.2(b)(ii) and Section 2.2(c)(ii), for administrative convenience, Parent will be deemed to have paid or caused to be paid to the Company amounts in respect of the Rollover Company RSU Consideration, the Rollover Company PSU Consideration and the Rollover Company Stock Option Consideration, but no cash will actually be delivered to the Company in respect thereof), and any payroll or employment Taxes related thereto, and (B) the Credit Agreement Closing Payments pursuant to Section 5.22. The amount of the Company Share Consideration and the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant Consideration, if any, as so deposited with the Paying Agent will not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section 2.8(b) and Section 2.8(d), except as expressly provided for in this Agreement. Any portion of the cash made available to the Paying Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares will be returned to Parent or its designee, upon demand. Parent and the Company shall direct the Paying Agent to timely make all payments contemplated by Section 2.8(b) and Section 2.8(d). The Paying Agent Agreement shall provide for all funds received by the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) to be held in an interest-bearing account, and shall not permit the Paying Agent or any other person to invest such funds. The Surviving Corporation shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to any deficiency in the amounts required to make all such payments pursuant to Section 2.8(b) and Section 2.8(d).

-12-

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares that were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a) into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (each, a “Certificate”), (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent, which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate will pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, the posting by such holder of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be reasonably required by Parent and the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate) to the Paying Agent, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and any such bond), together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions (which instructions shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent and shall include instructions for providing the Paying Agent required Tax documentation, including a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, together with all applicable attachments thereto, as applicable), in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and such Certificates shall then be cancelled. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and any such bond) for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and properly completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, Parent shall thereafter cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable the Per Share Merger Consideration payable for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate pursuant to Section 2.1 (which amount will be payable net of any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.10), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

-13-

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

(d) No holder of record of a non-certificated Share represented in book-entry form, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented an outstanding Share that was converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a) into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (each, a “Book-Entry Share”), shall be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such Book-Entry Share. In lieu thereof, upon receipt by the Paying Agent, or by such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonable request) the holder of such Book-Entry Share will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Per Share Merger Consideration (which amount will be payable net of any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.10) for each such outstanding Share formerly represented by such Book-Entry Share, and the Book-Entry Share will be cancelled. Payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name the Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until such “agent’s message” (or such other evidence) is received as contemplated by this Section 2.8(d), each Book-Entry Share will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (which amount will be payable net of any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.10) and will not evidence any interest in, or any right to exercise the rights of a stockholder or other equity holder of, the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

(e) The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates and transferred Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares on the Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Section 2.8. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Book-Entry Shares (other than Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing any Dissenting Shares or Rollover Shares) shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration to which the Shares represented thereby shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a), without interest thereon, which amount will be payable net of any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.10, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

-14-

(f) At any time following the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent may require the Paying Agent to deliver to the Surviving Corporation any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) that have been made available to or are on deposit with the Paying Agent and that have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) with respect to the Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Article II. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares for the Per Share Merger Consideration. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Per Share Merger Consideration, or any cash that was held by the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8, that was delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, any Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such time become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust, unincorporated organization, other entity or group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) previously entitled thereto.

(g) From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation will be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, any Certificate or Book-Entry Share presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason will be cancelled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in, this Article II. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for transfer or any other reason, the holder of any such Certificates shall be given a copy of the letter of transmittal referred to in Section 2.8(b) and instructed to comply with the instructions in that letter of transmittal in order to receive the cash to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II.

(h) In the event that any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the holder’s delivery of an affidavit of loss to the Paying Agent or Parent, as applicable (and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such holder of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be reasonably required by Parent or the Paying Agent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to deliver as consideration for the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, subject to such holder’s compliance with the exchange procedures set forth in Section 2.8(b) (other than the surrender of a Certificate).

Section 2.9. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall take all necessary and appropriate action to approve, for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations thereunder, the disposition by the Company directors and officers of Shares, Company Equity Awards and any other equity securities in the Contemplated Transactions.

-15-

Section 2.10. Withholding. The parties hereto and the Paying Agent (and any other applicable withholding agent) are entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld therefrom on account of Taxes under U.S. federal, state or local Law or any other applicable Law; provided that, other than (i) any compensatory amounts, (ii) any applicable U.S. backup withholding or (iii) withholding under Section 1445 of the Code as a result of a failure by the Company to deliver the certificate contemplated by Section 5.19, the withholding agent intending to so deduct or withhold will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior notice to the Company that it intends to deduct or withhold, and will reasonably cooperate with the Company to minimize or eliminate such withholding to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Any compensatory amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 2.2, will be remitted to the applicable payor for payment to the applicable Person through regular payroll procedures, as applicable. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and, if applicable, paid over to the appropriate Governmental Body, such amounts will be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. The relevant party or the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall promptly remit, or cause to be promptly remitted, any amount so withheld and deducted to the applicable Governmental Body to the extent required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as otherwise disclosed in (a) the Company SEC Documents (excluding any disclosures in “risk factors,” “quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk” or otherwise relating to “forward-looking statements” and any other disclosures contained or referenced in such Company SEC Documents of information, factors or risks that are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature) publicly filed with or furnished to the SEC on or after June 30, 2021 and at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of this Agreement, other than with respect to Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3(a), Section 3.3(b), Section 3.3(d), Section 3.23 or Section 3.25, or (b) the confidential disclosure letter delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) (which disclosure in the Company Disclosure Letter will be deemed to provide disclosure in response to (x) the particular Section (or, if applicable, subsection) of this Article III that corresponds to the section of the Company Disclosure Letter in which such disclosure is set forth and (y) any other Section (or if applicable, subsection) of this Article III to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure qualifies such other representation and warranty), the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

Section 3.1. Organization and Corporate Power.

(a) The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the Subsidiaries of the Company is a corporation or other entity validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority and all Permits necessary to own, lease and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to hold such Permits would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or authorized to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction (to the extent such concept exists in such jurisdiction) in which its ownership of property or the conduct of business as now conducted requires it to qualify, except where the failure to be so qualified, authorized or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. True and complete copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company (the “Company Organizational Documents”), each as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, have been heretofore made available to Parent and Merger Sub. The Company Organizational Documents are in full force and effect.

-16-

(b) The organizational documents of each Subsidiary of the Company are in full force and effect. The Company is not in violation of the Company Organizational Documents, and each Subsidiary of the Company is not in violation of its organizational documents in any material respect.

Section 3.2. Authorization; Xxxxx and Binding Agreement. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and, subject to receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, to consummate the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions. The Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) has (a) determined that the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders (other than Parent and its Affiliates and any Rollover Holders), (b) approved and declared advisable that the Company enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party and perform its covenants and other obligations herein and therein, and consummate the Contemplated Transactions, including the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and therein, (c) directed that the adoption of this Agreement be submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders, (d) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve the adoption of this Agreement and approve the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and (e) to the extent necessary, and assuming the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.9, adopted a resolution having the effect of causing this Agreement and the Merger not to be subject to any “fair price,” “business combination” or “control share acquisition” statute or other similar statute or regulation set forth in the DGCL or other applicable Law that might otherwise apply to the Merger, including Section 203 of the DGCL, which actions are valid and have not been rescinded, modified or withdrawn. No other corporate action pursuant to the Laws of the State of Delaware, on the part of the Company, is necessary to authorize this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party. The Company has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Company is a party and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other respective parties thereto, each of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (the “Enforceability Exceptions”). The adoption of this Agreement by the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote at the Company Stockholder Meeting (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”) is the only vote or approval of the holders of any of the Company’s capital stock necessary under applicable Law or the Company Organizational Documents to adopt this Agreement and consummate the Merger.

Section 3.3. Capital Stock.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 21,875,000 Shares and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Company Preferred Stock”), of which, as of June 14, 2024 (the “Measurement Date”), 6,215,192 Shares and no shares of Company Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

(b) Section 3.3(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list as of the Measurement Date of each holder of Company Equity Awards, including (i) the holder’s name or employee ID number, (ii) the type of Company Equity Awards, (iii) the number of the Shares subject thereto, (iv) the grant date, (v) the exercise price (if any), (vi) the expiration or vesting date thereof, and (vii) in the case of Company Options, whether any such Company Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” or a “nonqualified stock option,” in each case, to the extent applicable. The per share exercise price of each Company Option was equal to or greater than the fair market value (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) of a Share on the date of grant, and to the Company’s Knowledge, each Company Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code so qualifies.

(c) As of the Measurement Date, other than the Company Equity Awards, there were no other equity or equity-based awards outstanding. Each Company Equity Award was granted in material compliance with all applicable Laws and all of the material terms and conditions of the Company Equity Plan under which it was granted.

As of the Measurement Date, 157,829 Shares were reserved for issuance under the Company ESPP. As of the Measurement Date, there were outstanding Warrants exercisable for 3,554,848 Shares, and such number of Shares were reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Warrants.

(e) The Company’s issued and outstanding Shares have been, and all such Shares that may have been issued prior to the Effective Time will be when issued, duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free of preemptive rights.

Each of Topco, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections and other forecasts and plans and accordingly is not relying on them, that each of Topco, Parent and Merger Sub is familiar with such uncertainties, that each of Topco, Parent and Merger Sub is taking responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, and that each of Topco, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Sub and their Representatives will have no claim against any Person with respect thereto. Accordingly, each of Topco, Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Sub acknowledges that, without limiting the generality of this Section 4.12(b), neither the Company nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company has made any representation or warranty with respect to such projections and other forecasts and plans.

Section 4.13. Other Agreements. Other than the other Transaction Documents, Topco, Parent and Merger Sub have disclosed to the Company all contracts, agreements or understandings (and, with respect to those that are written, Topco, Parent and Merger Sub has furnished to the Company correct and complete copies thereof) between or among Topco, Parent, Merger Sub or any Affiliate of Parent, on the one hand, and any member of the Company Board or officers or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the other hand.

Section 4.14. Financing.

(a) Parent has delivered, and caused Parent Sponsor to deliver, to the Company a true, complete and correct copy of the Equity Commitment Letter, pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Parent Sponsor has agreed to directly or indirectly invest in Parent the Closing Payment Commitment for the purpose of delivering the Total Merger Consideration and the other permitted purposes expressly set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”) or to pay to the Company any monetary damages up to the Damages Commitment. The Equity Commitment Letter provides that the Company is an express third party beneficiary of and is entitled to enforce (subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein), the Equity Commitment Letter, which, in the case of the Closing Payment Commitment for the purposes of delivering the Total Merger Consideration is solely in connection with the Company’s exercise of its rights under Section 8.13 or Section 7.5.

(b) As of the date hereof, the Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and constitutes the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Parent or Merger Sub and Parent Sponsor, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of Parent and Merger Sub, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions. As of the date hereof, there are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount of the Equity Financing, as applicable, other than the conditions precedent expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter. The Equity Commitment Letter has not been amended or modified in any manner prior to the date of this Agreement, and the respective commitments contained therein have not been terminated, reduced, withdrawn or rescinded in any respect prior to the date of this Agreement, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, no such termination, reduction, withdrawal or rescission is contemplated by Topco, Parent or Merger Sub or Parent Sponsor or, to the Knowledge of Topco, Parent and Merger Sub, any other party thereto. As of the date hereof, neither Topco, Parent nor Merger Sub is in default of or breach under the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter, and, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, to the Knowledge of Topco, Parent and Merger Sub, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both would be expected to constitute a default or breach or a failure to satisfy a condition under the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter.

-45-

(c) As of the date hereof, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, each of Topco, Parent and Merger Sub has no reason to believe that (i) any of the conditions precedent expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter will not be satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) the Equity Financing in the aggregate amounts contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter will not be available to Topco, Parent and Merger Sub on the Closing Date. Each of Topco, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that Parent’s obligations under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding Parent’s, Merger Sub’s, their Affiliates’, or any other Person’s (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) ability to obtain the Equity Financing for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

(d) There are no side letters, understandings or other agreements or arrangements of any kind relating to the Equity Commitment Letter or the Equity Financing that could affect the availability or amount of the Equity Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter in any respect. No fees are required to be paid by Topco or Parent in connection with the provision of the Equity Commitment Letter or the drawing on any commitment made by Parent Sponsor pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter.

(e) The Equity Financing, when funded in accordance with the Equity Commitment Letter, will provide Parent or Merger Sub with cash proceeds on the Closing Date sufficient to enable Parent and Merger Sub to perform all of their payment obligations under this Agreement at the Closing, including to (i) deliver the Total Merger Consideration and all other amounts required to be paid under Article II, (ii) pay any fees and expenses required to be made by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub at Closing, and (iii) cause the Company to repay the Term B Loan to the extent required in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter. As of the date hereof, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, each of Topco, Parent and Merger Sub has no reason to believe that the representations and warranties contained in the immediately preceding sentence will not be true at and as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Equity Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter) by or to Topco, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or any other financing transaction be a condition to any of the obligations of Topco, Parent or Merger Sub hereunder.

Section 4.15. CFIUS. Neither Topco, Parent nor Merger Sub is a “foreign person,” as that term is defined in the Defense Production Act of 1950, and all implementing regulations thereof.

(a) Each of Topco and Parent has made valid election(s) such that it is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income tax purposes at all times since its formation.

-46-

Thereafter, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep Parent reasonably informed of the status and material terms and developments of any such Acquisition Proposal or offer or proposal (including any amendments, revisions or other changes to the material terms thereof), on a reasonably prompt basis (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of any material changes or developments).

If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting any information relating to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates should be discovered by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand, that should be set forth or incorporated by reference in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3, as the case may be, so that such filing would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the party that discovers such information will promptly notify the other, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to such filing describing such information will be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC by the appropriate party and, to the extent required by applicable Law or the SEC or its staff, disseminated to the Company’s stockholders. Notwithstanding the forgoing, no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement is made by the Company with respect to any information supplied by Topco, Parent, Merger Sub or SLR for inclusion or incorporation by reference into the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3.

The Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, will advise the other, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for (i) any amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3; (ii) any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3; or (iii) any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith.

In the event that the date of the Company Stockholder Meeting as originally called is for any reason postponed or adjourned, except as required by applicable Law, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such postponement or adjournment in such a way that the Company is not required under applicable Law to establish a new record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting, as so postponed or adjourned. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as long as the Company has complied with its obligations under Section 5.8 in all material respects, the Company will not be required to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days after the date on which Parent notifies the Company that all of the filings (or draft filings where applicable) necessary to seek the Regulatory Approvals set forth in Section 5.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter have been filed with the relevant Governmental Body (and such filings have actually been made) and the Company will be permitted to postpone or adjourn the meeting until such filings (or draft filings as applicable) have been filed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article VII, the Company will submit this Agreement to the Company’s stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval even if the Company Board (or the Special Committee) has effected a Change of Board Recommendation.

(a) Subject to the terms of any agreement between a Current Employee and the Company, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its other Subsidiaries to, for a period of one year following the Effective Time (or until employment terminates, if sooner), maintain for each individual employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Current Employee”) (i) an annual base salary and target annual cash bonus opportunity (excluding equity-based compensation and, with respect to the 2025 performance year, specific performance goals) that are, in each case, no less than those provided to the Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those maintained for and provided to the Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (in each case, excluding equity, equity-based, deferred compensation, severance, change in control, retention or transaction-related benefits, specific performance goals for any cash incentive compensation for the 2025 performance year, defined benefit pension and post-retirement welfare arrangements) and (iii) severance benefits that are at least as favorable as the severance benefits provided by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to the Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and to the extent set forth on Section 5.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, subject to, as a condition to such Current Employee receiving such severance in connection with such Current Employee’s termination, the applicable Current Employee having then signed and not revoked a release of claims in a form substantially in the form of the Company’s standard release of claims and, in each case, except as otherwise agreed to with a Current Employee.

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

All references to days without explicit qualification of “business” will be interpreted as a reference to calendar days; and if any action or notice is to be taken or given on or by a particular calendar day, and such calendar day is not a Business Day, then such action or notice will be deferred until, or may be taken or given on, the next Business Day.
