Article 2

THE MERGER

Section 2.01. The Merger.

(a) At the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall merge (the “Merger”) with and into the Company in accordance with the DGCL, whereupon, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall be the surviving corporation as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”).

(b) Subject to the provisions of Article 9, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P., 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx, 00000 as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than two Business Days after the date the conditions set forth in Article 9 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of such conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the

party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions, or at such other place (or by means of remote communication), at such other time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree.

(c) At the Closing, the Company and Merger Sub shall file a certificate of merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (or at such later time as may be specified in the certificate of merger).

(d) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL.

Section 2.02. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b) or Section 2.04, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares held by Parent or Merger Sub) shall be converted into the right to receive $ 26.52 per Share in cash, without interest, (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.03, but subject to Section 2.04.

(b) Each Share held by the Company as treasury stock (other than Shares in an Employee Plan of the Company) or by any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.03. Surrender and Payment. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a United States bank and trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”). The Company and Parent shall enter into a Paying Agent agreement with the Paying Agent which agreement shall set forth the duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Paying Agent consistent with the terms of this Agreement and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent prior to the Effective Time. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or shall cause the Company to deposit with the Paying Agent), cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”) to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares (such cash, the “Consideration Fund”). In addition, promptly after the Effective Time on the date of the Closing, Parent shall make available (or shall cause the Company to make available) as necessary

cash in an amount sufficient for payment of any dividends or distributions declared, but not paid, by the Company prior to the Effective Time in respect of the Shares in accordance with this Agreement. In the event the Consideration Fund shall be insufficient to pay the Merger Consideration (including on account of any Merger Consideration returned to Parent pursuant to Section 2.03(g)), Parent shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered (including by causing the Company, following the Effective Time, to deliver), additional funds to the Paying Agent in an amount that is equal to the deficiency required to make such payments. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three Business Days after the Effective Time), the Company shall send, or shall cause the Paying Agent to send, to each holder of Shares at the Effective Time (other than Parent or any of its applicable Affiliates), a letter of transmittal and instructions in customary form (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Paying Agent) for use in such exchange, with the form and substance of such letter of transmittal and instructions to be reasonably agreed to by Parent and the Company and prepared prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Each holder of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration payable for each such Share represented by such Certificate or for each such Uncertificated Share. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any such Shares.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent and Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) The cash in the Consideration Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that any such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States with maturities of no more than three months or guaranteed by the United States and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Earnings on the Consideration Fund in excess of the amounts payable to the former Company Stockholders shall be the sole and exclusive property of the party that made available to the Paying Agent the related cash in the Consideration Fund pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and shall be paid as it directs. No investment of the Consideration Fund shall relieve any Person from promptly making the payments required by this Article 2, and following any losses from any such investment, Parent shall promptly provide (or shall cause the Company to promptly provide following the Effective Time) additional cash funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the applicable Company Stockholders

in the amount of such losses to the extent the funds in the Consideration Fund are insufficient for such purposes, which additional funds will be deemed to be part of the Consideration Fund.

(e) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a) (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration one year after the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be returned to the party that made available to the Paying Agent the related cash in the Consideration Fund pursuant to Section 2.03(a), upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged such Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to such party only as general creditors of such party with respect to the Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares held by them, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by Applicable Law in accordance with this Section 2.03(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent, the Company nor any of their Affiliates shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration two years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall become to the extent permitted by Applicable Law the property of Parent or the Company, as applicable, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a) to pay for Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to the party that made available to the Paying Agent the related cash in the Consideration Fund pursuant to Section 2.03(a), upon demand.

Section 2.04. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.02, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with the DGCL shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL, unless such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted pursuant to Section 2.02(a) as of the Effective Time into, and shall represent only, the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.03. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares and any withdrawals of any such demands, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily

make any payment with respect to, offer to settle or settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.05. Company Stock Awards. (a) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option (or portion thereof) to acquire Shares granted or issued pursuant to the 2020 Plan that is vested (including those that vest in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Stock Options”), shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash to be paid promptly following the Effective Time and in no event more than five days following the Effective Time, determined by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price of such canceled Company Stock Option by (ii) the number of Shares subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each time-based restricted stock unit granted or issued pursuant to the 2020 Plan that is vested (including those that vest in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company RSUs”) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive, at or no more than five days after the Effective Time, solely an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration and (ii) the total number of Shares subject to such Company RSU.

(c) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each performance-based restricted stock unit granted or issued pursuant to the 2020 Plan that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company PRSUs”), shall be deemed to vest (if at all) based on actual performance achieved as of the Effective Time with respect to the applicable performance-based vesting conditions relating to such Company PRSU and such vested number of Company PRSUs (if any) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive, at or promptly after the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration and (ii) the total number of Shares subject to such Company PRSU that are deemed vested in accordance with the foregoing based on actual performance achieved as of the Effective Time with respect to applicable performance-based vesting conditions.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Stock Options, the Company RSUs and the Company PRSUs (collectively, the “Company Stock Awards”) Company Stock Awards as contemplated in this Section 2.05.

Section 2.06. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of Shares, or stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted. Nothing in this Section 2.06 shall be construed to permit any party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 2.07. Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the Paying Agent, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it reasonably concludes it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, under any Tax law or pursuant to any other Applicable Law. If the Paying Agent, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, so deducts or withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which the Paying Agent, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.08. 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 and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

It is agreed that any violation of the restrictions on the Company set forth in this Section by any Subsidiary of the Company or any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in the case of Representatives, (x) acting at the direction or (y) to the Knowledge of the Company, provided that the Company did not direct such Representatives to cease violating such restrictions reasonably promptly after acquiring such Knowledge, shall be a breach of this Section 6.03(b) by the Company.

(c) Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 6.03(b) and without limiting Section 6.03(a), at any time prior to obtaining Stockholder Approval and, unless the Company has waived the condition set forth in Section 9.03(d), the Majority of the Minority Approval:

(i) the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may (A) engage in discussions with (x) any Excluded Party and its Representatives or (y) any Third Party (which may include a Third Party that the Company engaged with during the Go-Shop Period) and its Representatives that, in each case of this clause (y), has made after the Go-Shop Period End Date a written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.03 if and only to the extent that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal is or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) furnish to any such Excluded Party or Third Party and their Representatives non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to Parent) with such Excluded Party or Third Party and/or such Representatives with terms not materially less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”); provided that (i) such confidentiality agreement may contain a less restrictive or no standstill restriction, in which case the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to contain only such less restrictive provision, or to omit such provision, as applicable, and (ii) all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) following the time it is provided or made available to such Excluded Party or Third Party and/or such other Representatives;

(ii) subject to compliance with Section 6.03(f), the Board of Directors may make an Adverse Recommendation Change (A) in connection with a Superior Proposal or (B) in response to events, changes or developments in circumstances that are material to the

Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that were not known to or reasonably foreseeable by the Board of Directors as of or prior to the date hereof and becomes known to the Board of Directors after the date hereof and prior to the time of obtaining Stockholder Approval and, unless the Company has waived the condition set forth in Section 9.03(d), the Majority of the Minority Approval (an “Intervening Event”); provided that in no event shall any of the following constitute or contribute to an Intervening Event: (x) the Company and its Subsidiaries meeting or exceeding any internal or published budgets, projections, forecasts or predictions of financial performance for any period (however the underlying reasons for such changes may constitute an Intervening Event to the extent such underlying reasons are not excluded from the definition of “Intervening Event” in this Section 6.03(c)(ii)), or (y) changes in the market price or trading volume of the Shares or any change in credit rating, in and of itself (however the underlying reasons for such changes may constitute an Intervening Event to the extent such underlying reasons are not excluded from the definition of “Intervening Event” in this Section 6.03(c)(ii)), or (z) the receipt, existence or terms of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, offer, request or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; and

(iii) subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.03(f) and Section 10.01(d)(i), the Company may terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal;

in each case, referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) only if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware law.

(d) In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors from (i) complying with Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 under the 1934 Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware law; provided, that any such disclosure referred to in clause (i) or (ii) that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless (x) the Board of Directors expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in or in connection with such disclosure or (y) such disclosure is a “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the 1934 Act; provided, further, that this Section 6.03(d) shall not be deemed to permit the Board of Directors to make an Adverse Recommendation Change except, in each case, to the extent permitted by Section 6.03(f).

(e) From and after the Go-Shop Period End Date and until the earlier to occur of the time of obtaining Stockholder Approval and, unless the Company has waived the condition set forth in Section 9.03(d), the Majority of the Minority Approval or the date of termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 10, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of facilitating the submission of an Acquisition Proposal or request for access to the business, properties, assets, books, records, work papers or other documents relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that, to the Company’s Knowledge, has made such request for the purpose of facilitating the submission of an Acquisition

Proposal. The Company shall provide such notice orally and in writing and shall identify the Third Party making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably prompt basis upon Parent’s request, of the status of any such Acquisition Proposal. Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal, as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith, will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the Company’s compliance with this Section 6.03(e).

(f) The Board of Directors shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), unless (i) the Company notifies Parent in writing, at least three Business Days before taking that action, of its intention to do so, specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such Adverse Recommendation Change and/or such termination (which notice shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change or termination), attaching (A) in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made in connection with a Superior Proposal or a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), the most current version of the proposed agreement under which a Superior Proposal is proposed to be consummated and the identity of the third party making the Acquisition Proposal, or (B) in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made pursuant to an Intervening Event, a reasonably detailed description of the reasons for making such Adverse Recommendation Change, (ii) the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, reasonably and in good faith with Parent during such notice period any revisions to the terms of this Agreement that Parent proposes and has not withdrawn in response to such Superior Proposal and that would be binding on Parent if accepted by the Company and (iii) following the end of such notice period, the Board of Directors shall have determined, in consultation with outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, and giving due consideration to such revisions proposed by Parent, that (A) in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made in connection with a Superior Proposal or a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), such Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Superior Proposal (assuming such revisions proposed by Parent and not withdrawn were to be given effect) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company; provided that for the purposes of such new notification the reference to “three Business Days” in Section 6.03(f)(i) shall be deemed to be “two Business Days”) and (B) in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made pursuant to an Intervening Event, such Intervening Event would nevertheless necessitate the need for such Adverse Recommendation Change (it being understood and agreed that any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event shall require a new written notification from the Company; provided that for the purposes of any such new notification the reference to “three Business Days” in Section 6.03(f)(i) shall be deemed to be “two Business Days”), and in either case, the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware law.

(g) For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide and, with respect to any Acquisition Proposal received after the Go-Shop Period, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal (substituting the term “50%” for the term “20%” in each instance where such term appears therein) that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account all the

terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal, including conditions to consummation (including whether such transaction is reasonably likely to be consummated without undue delay relative to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and whether financing, if a cash transaction (whether in whole or in part), is then fully committed by a reputable financing source or reasonably determined to be available by the Board of Directors), are more favorable to the Company Stockholders than as provided hereunder (taking into account any revisions proposed by Parent and not withdrawn to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.03(f)).

Section 6.04. (Reserved).

Section 6.05. Financing Cooperation.

(a) To assist Parent in its financing efforts, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any Offering as may be reasonably requested by Parent or with the arrangement of the Financing as may be reasonably requested by Parent and is necessary and customary for financings of the type contemplated in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, including, in each case (subject in each case to Section 6.05(b) below), by (i)(A) preparing and providing to Parent, its Financing Sources and the underwriters in connection with the Offering (an “Underwriter”), as promptly as reasonably practicable after Parent’s written request therefor, customary and reasonably available financial and other information with respect to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Financing, including (x) audited consolidated annual financial statements of the Company and (y) unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company (which shall have been reviewed by the independent accountants for the Company as provided in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100) and (B) providing as promptly as reasonably practicable after Parent’s written request therefor any information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonably necessary to assist Parent with the preparation of customary pro forma financial statements that meet the requirements of Regulation S-X and all other applicable accounting rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and required to be included in a Registration Statement on Form S-3 under the 1933 Act or reasonably and customarily required by the Financing Sources or Underwriters to be included in any offering documents; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.05, nothing will require the Company to provide (or be deemed to require the Company to provide) any (1) pro forma financial statements; (2) description of all or any portion of the Financing, including any “description of notes”, and other information customarily provided by financing sources or their counsel; (3) risk factors relating to all or any component of the Financing; (4) “segment” financial information or (5) any Compensation Discussion and Analysis or other information required by Item 402 of Regulation S -K under the 1933 Act or any other information customarily excluded from offering documents for the type of financing contemplated by the Financing, (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s independent accountants to reasonably cooperate with the Financing Sources or Underwriters in a manner consistent with their customary practice and to participate in customary auditor due diligence calls and provide customary accountants’ “comfort letters” (including customary “negative assurances”) (it being understood that the comfort letters delivered in connection with the Company’s public offerings shall be deemed to be customary for purposes of this Section 6.05) and customary consents to the inclusion

of audit reports in connection with the Financing if historical financial statements or other financial information of the Company are included in any offering documents for the Financing, (iii) providing reasonable cooperation with customary syndication or other marketing efforts, or a customary offering, by Parent for all or any portion of the Financing or the Offering, including reasonable access to documents and other information in connection with customary due diligence investigations and causing its management team, with appropriate seniority and expertise, to assist in a reasonable number of meetings and presentations (which, in the Company’s discretion, may be in the form of virtual meetings, video calls or conference calls) with Financing Sources or Underwriters and ratings agencies, in each case, on reasonable advance notice during normal business hours, (iv) upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, providing customary and reasonably necessary assistance to Parent (including by causing its management team, with appropriate seniority and expertise), to participate in a reasonable number of meetings and presentations (which, in the Company’s discretion, may be in the form of virtual meetings, video calls or conference calls and shall be during normal business hours) in the preparation of offering documents for the Financing or the Offering, (v) furnishing Parent at least four Business Days prior to the date of the Closing with all customary documentation and other information under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations and under the USA Patriot Act of 2001 reasonably required and reasonably requested in writing by the parties acting as lead arrangers for, or lenders under, the Financing or the Underwriters to the Company at least ten days prior to the date of the Closing, (vi) providing reasonable facilitation (through providing and executing customary agreements, documents or certificates) of the pledge and perfection of liens and security interests in connection with the Financing, as may be reasonably requested by Parent (provided that no obligation under any such document or agreement will take effect on or prior to the Closing) and (vii) otherwise providing cooperation that is customary and reasonable in connection with the marketing efforts of Parent, the Financing Sources and any Underwriters.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.05 shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to: (i) take any action in respect of the Financing or an Offering to the extent that such action would cause any condition to Closing set forth in Article 9 or any condition set forth in Article 9 to fail to be satisfied by the End Date or the Effective Time, as applicable, or otherwise result in a breach of this Agreement by the Company; (ii) take any action in respect of the Financing or an Offering that would conflict with or violate the Company’s or any if its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents or any Applicable Law, or result in the contravention of, or violation or breach of, or default under, any Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; (iii) take any action to the extent such action would (A) unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (B) cause significant competitive harm to the Company or its Subsidiaries if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated; (iv) execute and deliver any letter, Contract, registration statement, document or certificate in connection with the Financing or take any corporate action that is not contingent on, or that would be effective prior to, the occurrence of the Closing, it being agreed that the foregoing shall not apply to the inclusion of customary acquiree financial and related information in a registration statement or prospectus prior to Closing and cooperation in connection therewith; (v) pay any commitment fee or other fee or payment to obtain consent or incur any liability with respect to or cause or permit any Lien to be placed on any of their respective assets in connection with the Financing prior to the date of the Closing; (vi) provide access to or disclose information where the Company determines that such access or

In no event shall the Company be in breach of this Agreement because of the failure to deliver any financial or other information that is not currently readily available to the Company on the date hereof or is not otherwise prepared in the ordinary course of business of the Company at the time requested by Parent or for the failure to obtain any comfort with respect to, or review of, any financial or other information by its accountants.

(b) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect provisions in the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or in such documents of any successor to the business of the Surviving Corporation) regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and

advancement of expenses that are no less advantageous to the intended beneficiaries than the corresponding provisions in existence on the date of this Agreement.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor and comply with their respective obligations under any indemnification agreements with any Indemnified Person, and not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such agreement in any manner that would adversely affect any right of any Indemnified Person thereunder.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), in each case, for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby); provided that the Company shall give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of such tail policy and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent with respect thereto. If the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall continue to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time, the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof, or the Surviving Corporation shall purchase from the Company’s current insurance carrier or from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to, and in no event shall the Company be permitted to, without Parent’s prior written consent, expend for the policies pursuant to this section an aggregate premium amount in excess of 400% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year, which amount is set forth on Section 7.02(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; and provided further that if the aggregate premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(e) If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent

necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.02.

(f) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.02 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the Company Charter or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under Delaware law or any other Applicable Law or under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person, his or her heirs and his or her representatives.

Section 7.03. Employee Matters.

(a) For the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the one-year anniversary of the Closing (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide, or shall cause its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) to provide, each Continuing Employee with base salary, wage or commission rate, bonus opportunity (including, without limitation, short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities) and other employment benefits (including, without limitation, severance benefits, retirement benefits (other than defined benefit pension benefits or retiree medical benefits) and paid time-off), in each case, that are no less favorable than those provided to (i) such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing for the first 90 days of the Continuation Period and (ii) a similarly situated employee of Parent or its applicable employing Affiliate for the remainder of the Continuation Period; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.03(a) to the contrary, for the entire Continuation Period the severance benefits provided to Continuing Employees shall be consistent with those set forth in Section 7.03(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide (or cause to be provided) to each Continuing Employee full credit for prior service with the Company and its Subsidiaries for all purposes of vesting, level of benefits and eligibility to participate in employee benefit plans maintained by Parent or its Subsidiaries for which the Continuing Employee is eligible to participate following the Effective Time (but such service credit shall not be provided for benefit accrual purposes, except for vacation and severance) to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any analogous Employee Plan; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that it would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage of the Continuing Employees (and any dependents thereof) under any welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employees (and any dependents thereof) may be eligible to participate after the Closing to the same extent such preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods are waived under any analogous Employee Plan prior to the Effective Time and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to, provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid by such Continuing Employee during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, prior the Effective Time, to credit of such co-payments or deductibles under any analogous Employee Plan.

(c) If directed in writing by Parent at least 15 Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that are necessary to cause each Employee Plan specified in writing by Parent to terminate effective as of no later than immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, if directed in writing by Parent, at least 15 Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such actions as Parent may reasonably request so as to enable Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, to effect such actions relating to the Company’s 401(k) Plans (each, a “Company 401(k) Plan”) as Parent may deem necessary or appropriate, which may include having the Company terminate such plan prior to the Effective Time. All resolutions, notices or other documents issued, adopted or executed in connection with the implementation of this Section 7.03(c) shall be subject to Parent’s prior review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) In connection with any termination of any Company 401(k) Plan pursuant to Section 7.03(c), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, each Continuing Employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) in cash and participant loans in an amount equal to the eligible rollover distribution portion of the account balance distributed to each such Continuing Employee from any Company 401(k) Plan to an “eligible retirement plan” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of Parent or any of its Affiliates (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”). Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Parent 401(k) Plan to accept rollovers by Continuing Employees from any Company 401(k) Plan, including participant loans, after the Effective Time.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 11.06, nothing in this Section 7.03, express or implied, (i) is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto, including any current or former Service Provider, Company Employee or Continuing Employee, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, (ii) shall establish, or constitute an amendment, termination or modification of, or an undertaking to amend, establish, terminate or modify, any Employee Plan or other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (iii) shall alter or limit the ability of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (or, following the Effective Time, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to amend, modify or terminate any Employee Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them or (iv) shall create any obligation on the part of Parent or its Subsidiaries (or, following the Effective Time, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to employ or engage any Service Provider for any period following the Effective Time.

(f) To the extent that the Effective Time occurs on or prior to March 1^st of the applicable calendar year, no later than the Effective Time, the Company shall or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to pay annual or short-term incentive bonuses for the prior calendar year to the Company Employees employed immediately prior to the Effective Time (to the extent such bonuses have not previously been paid) with such bonuses to be determined based on actual performance (to the extent measurable at the Effective Time) and otherwise deemed achieved at the target level for any performance metrics that are not able to be determined as of the Effective Time, in all cases as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, with any such payments to be otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable annual or short-term incentive plan.

(g) No later than the Effective Time, the Company shall or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to pay pro-rata annual or short-term incentive bonuses for the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs to the Company Employees employed immediately prior to the Effective Time based on the number of days from January 1 of such calendar year through the Effective Time and deemed achieved at the target level for any applicable performance metrics.

Section 7.04. Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Without limiting any other obligation of Parent or its Affiliates herein, until the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01, Parent agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will directly or indirectly, sell, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of the beneficial or record ownership of any Shares held by Parent or any of its Affiliates other than transfers between Parent and its Affiliates or between Affiliates of Parent.

(b) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing and 10 Business Days after the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01, Parent agrees that, except pursuant to the Merger, none of (i) Parent (or any of its officers or directors), (ii) any of Parent’s Affiliates, (iii) any officers or directors of any of Parent’s Affiliates and (iv) any Persons acting at the direction of Parent or any of its Affiliates, will in any manner, directly or indirectly, (x) effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, agree to effect, or announce any intention to effect or cause or participate in or in any way assist or encourage any other Person to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in, any acquisition of Shares or any other securities of the Company (or any Beneficial Ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) in any such Shares or other securities), in each case, other than transfers between Parent and its Affiliates or between Affiliates of Parent.

(y) the Company shall have paid the Termination Fee immediately before or simultaneously with and as a condition to such termination;

(ii) if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred and such breach or failure (i) is incapable of being cured by the End Date or, if curable by the End Date, is not cured by Parent or Merger Sub within 30 days after receipt by Parent of written notice of such breach or failure and (ii) would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect; provided that, at the time of the delivery of such notice, the Company shall not be in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement; or

Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement. The provisions of Section 7.04(b), Section 8.08, Section 8.11, this Section 10.02 and Article 11 (but, in the case of Section 11.14, only to the extent relating to obligations required to be performed after termination) and the Confidentiality Agreement (to the extent provided in Section 8.08) shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 10.01.

Section 11.04. Expenses.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

(b) Termination Fee. (i) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i) (Adverse Recommendation Change), Section 10.01(c)(ii) (Breach of Section 6. 03) or by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i) (Superior Proposal), then the Company shall pay to Parent in immediately available funds the Termination Fee, in the case of a termination by Parent, within three Business Days after such termination and, in the case of a termination by the Company, substantially concurrent with such termination, and as a condition thereto.

(ii) If (A) this Agreement is terminated (x) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) (End Date) (other than in circumstances where the Stockholder Approval, and, unless the Company has waived the condition set forth in Section 9.03(d ), the Majority of the Minority Approval, have been obtained) and at such time the conditions set forth in Section 9.01(a) and Section 9.01(c) shall have been satisfied or (y) by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(iii) (Other Breach), (B) after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Company Meeting, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or otherwise been communicated to the Board of Directors, and (C) within 12 months following the date of such termination, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to or recommended to the Company Stockholders an Acquisition Proposal that is, in either such event, later consummated or an Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated (provided that for purposes of this clause (C), each reference to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%”), then the Company shall pay to Parent in immediately available funds, prior to or concurrently with such consummation, the Termination Fee.

(iii) Each of Parent and Merger Sub agrees that in the event that the Termination Fee is paid to Parent pursuant to this Section 11.04, then subject to Section 11.04(c), (A) the payment of such Termination Fee shall, in the absence of Fraud, be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub and their respective Non-Party Affiliates against the Company or any of its Non-Party Affiliates for, and (B) in no event, other than Fraud, will Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Non-Party Affiliates be entitled to recover any other money damages or any other remedy based on a claim in law or equity with respect to, (1) any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated, (2) the termination of this Agreement, (3) any liabilities or obligations arising under this Agreement, or (4) any claims or actions arising out of or relating to any breach, termination or failure of or under this Agreement, and upon payment to Parent of the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 11.04, in the absence of Fraud, neither the Company nor any of its Non-Party Affiliates shall have any further liability or obligation to the Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Non-Party Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and such Non-Party Affiliates of the Company shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 11.04(b)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.04(b)(iii) limits the Company’s rights and remedies under Section 11.14 prior to termination of this Agreement by the Company.

(c) Other Costs and Expenses. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 11 .04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay any amount due to Parent pursuant to this Section 11.04, it shall also pay any costs and expenses incurred by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment against the Company for such amount, together with interest on the amount of any unpaid fee, cost or expense at the publicly announced prime rate of Citibank, N.A. from the date such fee, cost or expense was required to be paid to (but excluding) the payment date. In no event shall the Company be required to pay more than one Termination Fee.

be deemed to be an exception, qualification, limitation, document or disclosure with respect to any other section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or any other Section of this Agreement unless the relevance of such exception, qualification, limitation or disclosure as an exception, qualification, limitation, document or disclosure to such other section is reasonably apparent on its face. The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of materiality of such item, nor shall it establish any standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.

Section 11.06. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(c) No Financing Source will have any liability to the Company, any former, current or future stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents or Affiliates of the Company (in each case, in their capacities as such), or any former, current or future stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents or Affiliates of any of the foregoing (in each case, in their capacities as such) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Financing or otherwise, whether at law, or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and Company will not have any rights or claims against any Financing Source or be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement against any Financing Source (such Financing Sources being express third party beneficiaries of this sentence).

Section 11.07. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and

irrevocably agree that any claim, suit, action or proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources (in their capacities as such) arising out of, or relating to, the transactions contemplated hereby, the Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto shall, except as expressly provided otherwise in the definitive documentation pertaining to such Financing, be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State that would result in the application of the laws of any other State.

Process in any such suit, Action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.

Section 11.09. No Recourse Against Non-Parties. Except in respect of Fraud against the Person that committed Fraud and subject to the second following sentence, (a) all Actions that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or any Related Document, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any Related Document (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or any Related Document), may be made only against (and subject to the terms and conditions thereof) the respective entities that are expressly identified as, in the case of this Agreement, the parties hereto, and in the case of any Related Document, the parties to such Related Document, and (b) no Person who is not a named party to this Agreement or any Related Document, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any named

Non- Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this Section 11.09. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.09 shall be construed to impair the Company’s rights to enforce (including the right to xxx for damages under) the Equity Financing Letter or the Voting and Support Agreement against the Equity Financing Source in accordance with the terms thereof or the Company’s rights to enforce (including the right to xxx for damage under) (x) this Agreement against Parent or Merger Sub in accordance with the terms hereof or (y) the Confidentiality Agreement against Parent in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE FINANCING OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (INCLUDING ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE).

Section 11.11. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed (including by electronic signature) by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed (including by electronic signature) by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). No party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

Section 11.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Schedule) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.14. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof for which money damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the courts referred to in Section 11. 08, in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement. The parties further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy, and that such remedy shall be in addition to any other remedy to which a party is entitled at law or in equity. To the extent any party hereto brings an Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an Action to enforce specifically any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement), the End Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the 20th Business Day following the resolution of such Action (if the End Date would otherwise occur on or prior to such date) or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.
