Article III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 3.1 Effect on Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Acquisition Sub or the holders of any securities of the Company or Acquisition Sub:

(a) Cancellation of Company Securities. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) held by the Company or held, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Acquisition Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist as issued or outstanding shares, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof.

(b) Conversion of Company Securities. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares canceled and retired pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive $27.20 per share of Company Common Stock in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). Each share of Company Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 3.1(b) shall no longer be issued or outstanding and shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates (the “Certificates”) or book-entry shares (“Book-Entry Shares”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock other than the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 3.2(b), the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon.

(c) Conversion of Acquisition Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Acquisition Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) fully paid share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation and constitute the only issued or outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall occur as a result of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or similar event, or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event. Nothing in this Section 3.1(d) 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 3.2 Payment for Securities; Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Designation of Paying Agent; Deposit of Exchange Fund. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall designate a reputable bank or trust company (the “Paying Agent”) that is organized and doing business under the Laws of the U.S., the identity and the terms of appointment of which to be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as Paying Agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.1(b), and shall enter into an agreement (the “Paying Agent Agreement”) relating to the Paying Agent’s responsibilities with respect thereto, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent, cash constituting an amount equal to the Aggregate Merger Consideration as reduced pursuant to the third sentence of Section 3.6 (such Aggregate Merger Consideration as deposited with the Paying Agent, the “Exchange Fund”). In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 3.1(b), Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payments in full. Parent shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (A) held for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock and (B) applied promptly to make payments pursuant to Section 3.1(b). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section 3.1, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) Procedures for Exchange.

(i) Certificates. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock: (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent and which shall be in the form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement (which instructions shall be in the form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify).

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time and in any event not later than the second (2nd) Business Day thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Book-Entry Share not held through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) (and to deliver to DTC, in the case of holders of Book-Entry Shares held through DTC) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall be in the form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify, and (B) instructions for returning such letter of transmittal in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement (which instructions shall be in the form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no holder of Book-Entry Shares shall be required to deliver a Certificate to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(b).

(c) Timing of Exchange. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with, in the case of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares not held through DTC, a letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares held through DTC, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share upon the later to occur of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the Paying Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, in accordance with Section 3.2(b), as applicable, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith canceled. The Paying Agent Agreement shall provide that the Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or 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 customary exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon written demand, and any such holders prior to the Merger who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation as a general creditor thereof for payment of their claims for the Merger Consideration in respect thereof.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash held in the Exchange Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which any cash in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such cash in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent Agreement shall provide that the Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation; provided that (i) no such investment shall relieve Parent or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article III, and following any losses Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock in the amount of such losses, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) all such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the U.S. with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days or guaranteed by the U.S. and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as directed by Parent.

(g) Withholding. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration and any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the Treasury Regulations or any provision of applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts (i) shall be promptly remitted by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Authority and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Parent represents that it is not aware of any obligation under applicable Tax Law (as of the date of this Agreement) to deduct or withhold any amount in respect of Taxes from payments under this Agreement (other than compensatory payments to employees). To the extent that Parent becomes aware that payments under this Agreement (other than compensatory payments to employees) may be subject to withholding Taxes, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Company and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to minimize or eliminate the amount of any such withholding.

Section 3.3 Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Units and Company Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards.

(a) Treatment of Company Options. As of the Effective Time, each Company Option (whether or not vested) that is outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be canceled and shall entitle the holder thereof to receive in exchange therefor, an amount in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes or other amounts required by applicable Law to be withheld) equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration, over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Option (the “Option Payment”). Following the Effective Time, any such canceled Company Option shall no longer be exercisable and shall only entitle the Company Option holder to the Option Payment; provided that if the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be canceled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof. The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay through the payroll of the Surviving Corporation (or the relevant employer subsidiary) to each holder of a Company Option the Option Payment (if any) within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time.

(b) Treatment of Company Restricted Stock Units. As of the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Stock Unit (whether or not vested) that is outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be canceled and shall entitle the holder thereof to receive in exchange therefor, an amount in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes or other amounts required by applicable Law to be withheld) equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Restricted Stock Unit and (ii) the Merger Consideration (the “Restricted Stock Unit Payment”).

(b) If, at any time prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, any information relating to Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement would not include a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto, and, to the extent required by Law, the Company shall promptly file an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information with the SEC and disseminate such amendment or supplement to the Company’s stockholders in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) The Company shall, as promptly as practicable following the date on which the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement, (i) take all action required, including under the DGCL, the Company Certificate of Incorporation, the Company By-Laws and the applicable rules of the NYSE, to establish a record date for and give notice of a meeting of its stockholders, for the purpose of voting upon the approval of the Merger and holding the Company Stockholder Advisory Vote (the “Company Stockholders’ Meeting”), (ii) cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as of the record date established for the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and (iii) take all action reasonably required, including under the DGCL, the Company Certificate of Incorporation, the Company By-Laws and the applicable rules of the NYSE, to duly call, convene and hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company’s stockholders (but in any event within forty five (45) days after the SEC clears the Proxy Statement) with the record date and meeting date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting to be selected after reasonable consultation with Parent; provided that the Company may postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (i) with the consent of Parent and Acquisition Sub (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) for the absence of a quorum, (iii) after consultation with Parent, to allow reasonable additional time for any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting or (iv) to allow additional solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that the Company Stockholders’ Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned (x) by more than ten (10) Business Days at a time and (y) with respect to clause (ii) or clause (iv) above, to a date that is more than thirty (30) days after the date on which the Company Stockholders’ Meeting was (or was required to be) originally scheduled, in each case without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event will the record date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting be changed without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required by applicable Law. The Company shall, through the Company Board, but subject to the right of the Company Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 6.5, provide the Company Recommendation and shall include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, and, unless there has been an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 6.5, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis, and promptly upon Parent’s written request, of the status of its efforts to solicit the Company Stockholder Approval. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall vote all shares of Company Common Stock held by them in favor of the adoption of this Agreement.

(d) Parent shall, as promptly as practicable following the date it is determined that such meeting is required by applicable Law: (i) take all action required to establish a record date for and give notice of an extraordinary meeting of its stockholders, for the purpose of voting upon the approval of the Merger (the “Parent Stockholders’ Meeting”) and (ii) take all action required to duly call, convene and hold the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting. Parent shall provide the Company and its advisors with a reasonable opportunity to review and propose comments to the meeting materials for the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, and Parent shall consider in good faith such comments reasonably and timely proposed for inclusion therein. In no event will the record date of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting be changed without the Company’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required by applicable Law.

Section 6.3 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the limitations set forth in Section 6.5), the parties hereto will use their respective reasonable best efforts to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to cause the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VII to be satisfied, including using reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or non-actions, Consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and the making of all necessary notices, registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger; (ii) the obtaining of all other necessary Consents, approvals or waivers from or the making of notices to Third Parties; and (iii) responding as promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries from, and supplying as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information or documentation that may be requested by, a Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty five (35) Business Days following the date that this Agreement is executed) make its respective filings under the HSR Act, and any other applications and filings required under any Antitrust Laws in the jurisdictions listed in Section 6.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, obtaining any Consents, approvals or waivers of or making any notice to any Third Party pursuant to Section 6.3(a)(ii) above or otherwise shall not be considered a condition to the obligations of Parent and Acquisition Sub to consummate the Merger.

(b) Parent and Acquisition Sub agree to use reasonable best efforts (and to cause their Subsidiaries to use reasonable best efforts) to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all Consents under any Antitrust Laws that may be required by any foreign or U.S. federal, state or local Governmental Authority, in each case, with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, prior to the Termination Date, including committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, or otherwise, the sale or other disposition of such assets or businesses of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries as are required to be divested in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any Order, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable prior to the Termination Date (collectively, a “Remedy”); provided that Parent and Acquisition Sub shall not be required or obligated (and nothing contained in this Section 6.3 or this Agreement shall require or obligate Parent and Acquisition Sub) to take or agree to any Remedy or any other action that would result in or account for, either individually or in the aggregate, the one year loss of net worldwide sales revenues (as measured by 2019 sales revenue) in excess of ninety five million dollars ($95,000,000) to Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries (taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Merger); provided, further, that any such action contemplated by this Section 6.3(b) is conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or any of its respective Subsidiaries propose, negotiate, effect or agree to any action contemplated by this Section 6.3(b) without the prior written consent of Parent.

(c) Each of the parties hereto will, subject to applicable Law, furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any required governmental filings or submissions or substantive communications and will cooperate in responding to any inquiry from a Governmental Authority, including (i) promptly informing the other party of such inquiry, (ii) consulting in advance before making any presentations or submissions to a Governmental Authority, (iii) giving the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in any meetings, discussions or substantive telephone calls with any Governmental Authority, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, and (iv) supplying each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications between any party and any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement. Parent and the Company shall (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) consult with the other party in advance of any meeting, discussion or teleconference with any Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other person, and, to the extent not prohibited by the Governmental Entity or other person, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings, discussions and teleconferences. The parties shall discuss in advance the strategy and timing for obtaining any clearances required or advisable under any applicable Law in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall take the lead in all meetings and communications with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining such clearances required under any Antitrust Law. Any materials exchanged by the parties pursuant to this Section 6.3 may be redacted or withheld as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns, and to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company or Parent’s consideration of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other competitively sensitive material; provided, further, that the parties hereto may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any materials provided to the other under this Section 6.3 as “outside counsel only.”

(d) Each party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the CFIUS Approval. Such efforts shall include promptly (and not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by the parties) making any draft filing required in connection with the CFIUS Approval in accordance with the DPA, promptly making any final filing in connection with the CFIUS Approval and in accordance with the DPA after receipt of confirmation that CFIUS has no further comment to the draft filing, and providing any information requested by CFIUS or any other agency or branch of the U.S. government in connection with the CFIUS review or investigation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within the timeframes set forth in the DPA, and if CFIUS suggests or requests that, or if the parties determine it to be appropriate that, the parties withdraw and resubmit the filing submitted to CFIUS pursuant to this Section 6.3(d), each party shall cooperate in withdrawing and resubmitting the CFIUS filing; provided, however, that neither party shall be under any obligation to cooperate to resubmit such filing if the CFIUS Approval could not be obtained before the Termination Date because the Termination Date would occur before the conclusion of the forty-five (45) day review period as defined by the DPA.

(e) With respect to Parent, such efforts shall also include taking or causing to be taken all action necessary to obtain the CFIUS Approval that is customary for obtaining such approval so as to enable the consummation of the Closing, including entering into a mitigation agreement, letter of assurance, national security agreement, proxy agreement, trust agreement or other similar arrangement or agreement in relation to the business and assets of Parent or the Company, or otherwise divesting or agreeing to divest assets of Parent, with mitigation and related terms and conditions that are customary for such arrangements or agreements; provided, however, that Company and Parent shall not be required to take or cause to be taken or agree to take any action in connection with this Agreement or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless such action would be conditioned upon or occur subsequent to the Closing.

(f) Parent and Acquisition Sub agree to use reasonable best efforts (and to cause their Subsidiaries to use reasonable best efforts) to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and to obtain the approvals of foreign investment and investment in mainland China for the purpose of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement issued by the Investment Commission, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taiwan.

(g) If required by applicable Law, each party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to provide prior notifications, and obtain any approvals or clearance from any applicable governmental bodies, including, in connection with Japanese foreign exchange Law.

Upon reasonable notice, the Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) afford to the representatives, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, Affiliates, consultants, financing sources, financial advisors and other advisors (“Representatives”) of Parent reasonable access, in a manner not disruptive in any material respect to the operations of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, during normal business hours and upon reasonable written notice throughout the period commencing on the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, to the properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, during such period, shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to such Representatives all information concerning the business, properties and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries as may reasonably be requested in writing, in each case, for any reasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to disclose any information to Parent or Acquisition Sub if such disclosure would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, (i) cause significant competitive harm to the Company or its Subsidiaries if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, (ii) violate applicable Law or the confidentiality provisions of any agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or (iii) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege; provided that the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements under circumstances in which such restrictions apply to allow access in a manner that does not result in such effects; provided, further, that nothing herein shall authorize Parent or its Representatives to undertake any environmental testing involving sampling of soil, groundwater, or similar invasive techniques at any of the properties owned, operated or leased by the Company or its Subsidiaries, without the Company’s prior written consent. No investigation or access permitted pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company hereunder; provided that the foregoing will not affect any determination of breach of such representations or warranties or the satisfaction of the closing condition set forth in Section 7.2(a). Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub agrees that it will not, and will instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.4 for any competitive or other purpose unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to minimize any disruption to the respective business of the Company and its Subsidiaries that may result from requests for access under this Section 6.4. The Confidentiality Agreement shall apply with respect to information furnished by the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Company’s officers, employees and other Representatives hereunder.

Section 6.5 Non-Solicitation; Competing Proposals.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its directors, officers and Subsidiaries to, and shall instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ other Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation of, or discussions or negotiations with, any Third Party relating to any Competing Proposal, and the Company further agrees that it shall promptly request in writing that all non-public information previously provided by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Persons be promptly returned or destroyed in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement and immediately terminate all physical and electronic dataroom access previously granted to any such Persons or their Representatives. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company shall not, shall cause each of its directors, officers and Subsidiaries not to, and shall instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate, whether publicly or otherwise, any inquiry, discussion, offer or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Proposal, (ii) engage, continue or otherwise participate in negotiations or discussions with (it being understood that the Company may inform Persons of the provisions contained in this Section 6.5), or furnish or provide access to any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ books and records, properties or non-public information or data to, any Person (other than Parent, Acquisition Sub or their respective Representatives) relating to a Competing Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Proposal, (iii) approve or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or similar agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with this Section 6.5) providing for or relating to a Competing Proposal or requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), (iv) approve, endorse, or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse or recommend, any Competing Proposal, (v) take any action to make any provision of any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other form of antitakeover statute or regulation (or any related provision in the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the Company By-Laws) inapplicable to any transactions contemplated by a Competing Proposal or (vi) terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality agreement, standstill or similar agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to grant a waiver of any “standstill” or similar obligation of any Person with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries solely to the extent to allow such Person to submit a confidential Competing Proposal to the Company Board if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(b) The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt by the Company or any of its Representatives of any Competing Proposal or any inquiry, proposal, offer or request that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Competing Proposal or any solicitation, discussion communications or negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with the Company or any of their Representatives concerning a Competing Proposal, deliver to Parent a written notice setting forth: (i) the identity of the Person making such Competing Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request; and (ii) the material terms and conditions of any such Competing Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request (including a complete copy of any such Competing Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request (including copies of the current drafts of all agreements, term sheets and financing commitments related thereto or submitted therewith)). The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of any material change, amendment or other modification of any such Competing Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request on a prompt basis, and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours following the Company’s receipt of such a change, amendment or modification, including providing Parent promptly after the receipt or delivery of copies of all written proposals, offers or draft agreements sent to or provided to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their Representatives with respect to such Competing Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any Contract with any Person that prohibits or otherwise limits the Company from providing any information contemplated by this Section 6.5 to Parent, Acquisition Sub or their Representatives, or otherwise complying with its obligations under this Section 6.5.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, in the event that the Company receives a written Competing Proposal from any Person that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.5, the Company, the Company Board and their Representatives may engage in negotiations or substantive discussions with, or furnish any information and other access to, any Person making such Competing Proposal and any of its Representatives if the Company Board determines in good faith (A) after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors that such Competing Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and (B) after consultation with outside legal counsel that the failure to take the actions contemplated by this clause (c) would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that (x) prior to furnishing or providing access to the Company’s books and records, properties or any non-public information or data concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company notifies Parent in writing that it has determined to provide such access or information and receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not restrict the making, or amendment, of a confidential Competing Proposal (and related confidential communications) to the Company or the Company Board (such confidentiality agreement, an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) and (y) any such non-public information or data so furnished shall be made available to Parent substantially concurrently with it being so furnished to such Person or its Representatives to the extent it was not previously made available to Parent or its Representatives.

(d) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.5(d) or, in the case of clauses (A) and (C), Section 6.5(e), neither the Company Board nor any committee of the Company Board shall (i) (A) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose publicly to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub, the Company Recommendation, (B) approve, adopt or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, adopt or recommend, to the Company’s stockholders any Competing Proposal, (C) fail to include the Company Recommendation, as applicable, in the Proxy Statement or any filing, amendment or supplement relating to the Proxy Statement, (D) fail to publicly recommend against any tender or exchange offer that constitutes a Competing Proposal within ten (10) Business Days after it is launched (or such fewer number of days as remain prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting as it may be adjourned or postponed) or (E) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after the written request of Parent following a Competing Proposal that has been publicly announced (or, if the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled to be held within ten (10) Business Days of such request, within five (5) Business Days of such request and in any event, prior to the date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting) (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to agree to, execute or enter into, any Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if the Company has received an unsolicited written Competing Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.5 and the Company Board has determined in good faith (after having given effect to all of the changes, revisions, modifications and adjustments that may be offered by Parent) (x) after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Competing Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (y) after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take the actions in clauses (I) and (II) of this sentence would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Board may (I) make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (II) cause or permit the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal concurrently with the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) and subject to payment of the Company Termination Fee; provided, however, that (1) no Adverse Recommendation Change may be made and (2) the actions in clause (II) of this sentence may not be effected, in each case, unless (A) the Company Board has delivered to Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that the Company Board intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change (a “Notice of Adverse Recommendation”) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.5(d) and Section 8.1(c)(ii) (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) and specifying in reasonable detail the reasons therefor, including the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal and the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal, including a complete copy of any such Superior Proposal (including copies of the current drafts of all agreements, term sheets, financing commitments and other documentation and correspondence that relate to such Superior Proposal), (B) if requested in writing by Parent, during the four (4) Business Day period after delivery of such Notice of Adverse Recommendation or Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company and its Representatives negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives regarding any revisions, changes, modifications, adjustments or amendments to this Agreement that would permit the Company Board not to take such actions and (C) no earlier than the end of such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors and having complied with this Section 6.5) shall have determined in good faith, after considering the revisions, changes, modifications, adjustments and amendments proposed by Parent during such four (4) Business Day period, that such Competing Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Adverse Recommendation or Notice of Superior Proposal, as applicable, and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.5(d), except that such new notice period shall be for two (2) Business Days.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, in response to an Intervening Event, the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change contemplated by clauses (A) or (C) of the definition thereof if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company Board may not make such an Adverse Recommendation Change unless (i) the Company Board has delivered to Parent a Notice of Adverse Recommendation identifying and describing in reasonable detail such Intervening Event, (ii) if requested by Parent, during the four (4) Business Day period after delivery of the Notice of Adverse Recommendation, the Company and its Representatives negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives regarding any revisions, changes, modifications, adjustments or amendments to this Agreement that would permit the Company Board not to take such actions and (iii) no earlier than the end of such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board (after consultation with its legal counsel and financial advisors and having complied with this Section 6.5) shall have determined in good faith, after considering the terms of any revisions, changes, modifications, adjustments or amendments to this Agreement proposed by Parent during such four (4) Business Day period, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change contemplated by clauses (A) or (C) of the definition thereof would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking or disclosing a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a)(2) or (3) under the Exchange Act, or (ii) otherwise making disclosure required to comply with applicable Law (it being agreed that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or a factually accurate public statement by the Company that describes the Company’s receipt of a Competing Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change or give rise to a Parent termination right pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii)); provided that (A) any disclosure made as permitted under clause (ii) above that relates to a Competing Proposal (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Company Recommendation in connection with such disclosure and (B) any Adverse Recommendation Change must be made in accordance with Sections 6.5(d) and (e).

(g) The Company agrees that any material breach of this Section 6.5 by any of its Representatives acting on the Company’s behalf shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Company.

(h) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Competing Proposal” shall mean any bona fide inquiry, proposal or offer made by any Person (other than Parent, Acquisition Sub or any Affiliate thereof) or group of Persons as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act to purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of transactions, (a) beneficial ownership (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting power or any class of equity securities of the Company (or any Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Company representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the revenue, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, partnership, joint venture, sale of shares of capital stock or of equity interests in the Company (or any Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Company representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the revenue, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction or (b) any one or more assets or businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries that constitute twenty percent (20%) or more of the revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(ii) “Intervening Event” shall mean any positive change, event, effect or circumstance or change in circumstances or facts (including any change in probability or magnitude of circumstances) that (i) is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) was not known and was not reasonably foreseeable to the Company Board on or prior to the date of this Agreement and (iii) does not relate to any Competing Proposal.

(iii) “Superior Proposal” shall mean a written Competing Proposal (with all percentages in the definition of Competing Proposal increased to fifty percent (50%)) made by a Third Party that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors and considering all financial (including financing terms), legal, timing, regulatory and other aspects and risks of such Competing Proposal and after taking into account any revisions, changes, modifications, adjustments and amendments to the terms of this Agreement offered by Parent to the Company or the Company Board in response to such Competing Proposal, (A) is reasonably capable of being consummated in accordance with its terms and (B) would be, if consummated, more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.6 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Acquisition Sub agree that all rights to exculpation and indemnification for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), now existing in favor of the current or former directors and officers, if any (the foregoing persons, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), as the case may be, of the Company or its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective organizational documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in any Contract for indemnification in effect as of the date of this Agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. The Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), to the fullest extent that the Company or its Subsidiaries would be permitted by applicable Law and to the fullest extent required by the organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement. Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to exculpation, indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitation of director and officer liability that are no less favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties than those set forth in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions thereafter shall not, for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the D&O Indemnified Parties.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.6(a), to the fullest extent that the Company would be permitted by applicable Law to do so, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each D&O Indemnified Party against and from any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, (an “Action”) to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to: (A) any alleged action or omission in such D&O Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time; or (B) this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any D&O Indemnified Party upon receipt of a written affirmation by the D&O Indemnified Party of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification applicable to him or her and a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct for indemnification was not met. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether the conduct of any D&O Indemnified Party complies or complied with any applicable standard shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the D&O Indemnified Party, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation, and the fees of such counsel shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.6(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, Parent shall not, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any Action, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all of the D&O Indemnified Parties covered by the Action from all liability arising out of such Action.

(c) Unless the Company shall have purchased a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time as provided below, for at least six (6) years after the Effective Time, (i) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its other Subsidiaries to maintain in full force and effect the coverage provided by the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary insurance in effect as of the date of this Agreement and maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable (the “Existing D&O Insurance Policies”), or provide substitute policies for the Company and its current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by such Existing D&O Insurance Policies, in either case, on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the D&O Indemnified Parties, or any other Person entitled to the benefit of this Section 6.6, as applicable, than the Existing D&O Insurance Policies, covering claims arising from facts, events, acts or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (provided that Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall not be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate annual premiums currently paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, on an annualized basis, but in such case shall purchase as much of such coverage as possible for such amount) and (ii) Parent shall not, and shall not permit the Surviving Corporation or its other Subsidiaries to, take any action that would prejudice the rights of, or otherwise impede recovery by, the beneficiaries of any such insurance, whether in respect of claims arising before or after the Effective Time. In lieu of such insurance, prior to the Effective Time, the Company may (or if Parent requests, the Company shall) purchase a six (6) year “tail” prepaid policy on such terms and conditions (provided that the premium for such insurance shall not exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate annual premiums currently paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, on an annualized basis), in which event Parent shall cease to have any obligations under the first sentence of this Section 6.6(c).

(d) In the event that the Surviving Corporation, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successor and assign of the Surviving Corporation or any such Subsidiary assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.

(e) The D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.6 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.6.

The Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any D&O Indemnified Party in enforcing its indemnity and other rights under this Section 6.6. The rights of each D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other applicable rights such D&O Indemnified Party may have under the respective organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, the DGCL or otherwise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 6.6 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely (or any earlier period actually specified in this Section 6.6) and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation, and shall be enforceable by the D&O Indemnified Parties and their successors, heirs or representatives.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to, release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.6 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims pursuant to such policies or agreements.

(c) For the calendar year including the Effective Time, Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Continuing Employees shall not be required to satisfy any deductible, co-payment, out-of-pocket maximum or similar requirements under the Post-Closing Plans that provide medical, dental and other welfare benefits (collectively, the “Post-Closing Welfare Plans”) to the extent amounts were previously credited for such purposes under comparable Company Benefit Plans that provide medical, dental and other welfare benefits.

(i) Parent or Acquisition Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) and (B) is not capable of being cured, or is not cured, by Parent or Acquisition Sub on or before the earlier of (x) the Termination Date and (y) the date that is thirty (30) calendar days following the Company’s delivery of written notice to Parent or Acquisition Sub, as applicable, of such breach; provided, however, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)(i) if the Company is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder;

(iii) in the event (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 shall have been and continue to be satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which shall then and continues to be capable of being satisfied as of the Closing) and Parent fails to consummate the Closing on the date the Closing was to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.2, as a result of the failure of the Debt Financing to be funded, (ii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed by written notice to Parent that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been and continue to be satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which shall then and continues to be capable of being satisfied as of the Closing) or waived (to the extent such waiver is permitted under applicable Law) and that the Company is prepared to consummate the Closing, and (iii) Parent fails to consummate the Closing by the date that is five (5) Business Days after the later of (x) the date on which the Closing was required to occur pursuant to Section 2.2 and (y) the date of delivery of such notice of termination.

(i) (A) this Agreement is terminated by (x) the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i), (y) the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii), or (z) Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i), (B) a Competing Proposal had been publicly announced, had been publicly disclosed or otherwise had become known, disclosed or communicated to the Company, the Company Board or the stockholders of the Company following the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination, and (C) within twelve (12) months of such termination of this Agreement, the Company either consummates a transaction involving a Competing Proposal or enters into a definitive agreement providing for a Competing Proposal; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 8.3(a)(i), the references to “twenty percent (20%)” in the definition of Competing Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%)”;

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii); or

(iii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii), then

the Company shall (A) in the case of clause (i) above, no later than two (2) Business Days following the date of the earlier of the entry into the definitive agreement or consummation of such transaction involving a Competing Proposal, (B) in the case of clause (ii) above, prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination, and (C) in the case of this clause (iii), no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination, pay, or cause to be paid, at the direction of Parent, the Company Termination Fee; it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii), then the Company shall promptly, but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after receipt of an invoice thereof, pay, or cause to be paid, at the direction of Parent, all costs and Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Parent, Acquisition Sub and their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, up to an aggregate maximum amount of eighteen million dollars ($18,000,000), which amount shall be credited against any Company Termination Fee (if any) that subsequently becomes payable to Parent.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but subject to Section 9.9, Parent’s right to receive payment from the Company of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(a), together with any costs and Expenses and interest payable pursuant to Section 8.3(b) and Section 8.3(d), in circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i), Section 8.3(a)(ii) or Section 8.3(a)(iii), shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy (in circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable) of Parent and Acquisition Sub against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates or assignees of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for any breach or failure to perform hereunder, and upon payment of such amount (in circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable), none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except that the Company shall also be obligated with respect to Section 8.7). While Parent may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 9.9 and the payment of the Company Termination Fee, under no circumstances shall Parent be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the Closing occurring and the Company Termination Fee.

(d) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) the agreement contained in this Section 8.3 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Company Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and its Affiliates in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, and (iii) without the agreement contained in this Section 8.3, the parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the payment of any amount set forth in this Section 8.3, the Company shall pay Parent its costs and Expenses in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the annual rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to (i) Section 8.1(b)(vi) or (ii) Section 8.1(b)(i) (and at such time either the Company or Parent is entitled to terminate pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(vi)), then Parent shall promptly, but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after receipt of an invoice thereof, pay, or cause to be paid, at the direction of the Company, all costs and Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company and its respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, up to an aggregate maximum amount of eighteen million dollars ($18,000,000), which amount shall be credited against any Parent Termination Fee (if any) that subsequently becomes payable to the Company.

In the event that the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(iii), the Company shall, within thirty (30) days of the time of termination, irrevocably elect in writing to either (i) receive the Parent Termination Fee as the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company against any and all Parent Related Parties (and in which case the foregoing sentence shall apply) or (ii) maintain its right to seek monetary damages against Parent and Acquisition Sub for knowing and intentional breaches pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and upon the making of such irrevocable election (x) the Company shall only be entitled to the remedy so selected and shall in no event be entitled to both the Parent Termination Fee and any recovery of any monetary damages; provided, in the event that the Company does not make such election within such thirty (30) day period or the Company or any of its Affiliates commences any Action to recover any monetary damages within such thirty (30) day period, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to maintain its right to seek monetary damages for knowing and intentional breaches pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as its sole and exclusive remedy against the Parent Related Parties. While the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 9.9 and either (i) the payment of the Parent Termination Fee or (ii) the recovery of monetary damages, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both (x) a grant of specific performance that results in the Closing occurring and (y) the Parent Termination Fee or any recovery of any monetary damages.

(d) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) the agreement contained in this Section 8.4 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Parent Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company and its Affiliates in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, and (iii) without the agreement contained in this Section 8.4, the parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Parent fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.4 and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a suit that results in a judgment against Parent for the payment of any amount set forth in this Section 8.4, Parent shall pay the Company its costs and Expenses in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the annual rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law.

Any such extension or waiver shall only be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Parent or Acquisition Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

(b) Disclosure of any fact, circumstance or information in any Section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be disclosure of such fact, circumstance or information with respect to any other Section of the Company Disclosure Letter only if it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure relates to any such other Section on its face. The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Letter 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.

(c) The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References to articles, sections, clauses, paragraphs, exhibits, annexes and schedules are to the articles, sections, clauses and paragraphs of, and exhibits, annexes and schedules to, this Agreement, unless otherwise specified, and the table of contents and headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The words “made available to Parent” and words of similar import refer to documents (i) posted to the data site maintained by the Company or its Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) delivered in person or electronically to Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their respective Representatives or (iii) that are publicly available in the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (XXXXX) database of the SEC, in each case, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Words describing the singular number shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa, words denoting any gender shall be deemed to include all genders, words denoting natural persons shall be deemed to include business entities and vice versa, and references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. The phrases “the date hereof” and “the date of this Agreement” and terms or phrases of similar import shall be deemed to refer to November 11, 2019, unless the context requires otherwise. When used in reference to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the term “material” shall be measured against the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. References to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute as amended from time to time and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (provided that for purposes of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that are made as of a specific date or dates, references to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute, as amended, and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case, as of such date or dates). Terms defined in the text of this Agreement shall have such meaning throughout this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement, and all terms defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. Any Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor Laws (provided that for purposes of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that are made as of a specific date or dates, references to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute, as amended, and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case, as of such date or dates). All references to “dollars” or “$” refer to currency of the U.S. The English language version of this Agreement shall govern all questions of interpretation relating to this Agreement, notwithstanding that this Agreement may have been translated into, and executed in, other languages.

Section 9.4 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, illegal, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, 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. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, void, illegal, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that Acquisition Sub may, in its discretion and upon prior written notice to the Company, assign any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of Parent, but no such assignment will relieve Acquisition Sub of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
