(b) Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to, at any time and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (x) increase the Offer Price and/or (y) waive any of the Offer Conditions and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, Merger Sub and Parent shall not:

(vii) provide any “subsequent offering period” in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the Exchange Act.

(c) The Offer shall expire one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) from the Offer Commencement Date (such time, the “Expiration Time”), unless the period of time for which the Offer is open shall have been extended pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Section 2.1 (in which event the term “Expiration Time” shall mean the time and date that the Offer, as so extended, may expire).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, unless (x) this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 10.1 or (y) Merger Sub receives the prior written consent of the Company:

(i) Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer, the Offer Document or any period otherwise required by the rules and regulations of Nasdaq or applicable Law (including in order to comply with Rule 14e-1(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act in respect of the Offer Price);

(ii) if, at the initial Expiration Time or any subsequent time as of which the Offer is scheduled to expire, any of the Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition and any such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the expiration of the Offer (provided such conditions would be capable of being satisfied or validly waived were the expiration of the Offer to occur at such time)) have not been satisfied or waived (to the extent waivable by Merger Sub or Parent), then Merger Sub shall extend (and re-extend) the Offer and its expiration date beyond the initial Expiration Time or such subsequent Expiration Time for successive extension periods (the length of each such individual extension period not to exceed ten (10) Business Days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act)); and

(iii) if, at the initial Expiration Time or any subsequent time as of which the Offer is scheduled to expire, each of the Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition, and other than any such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the expiration of the Offer (provided such conditions would be capable of being satisfied or validly waived were the expiration of the Offer to occur at such time)) has been satisfied or waived (to the extent waivable by Merger Sub or Parent) and the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied, then Merger Sub may, and, at the request in writing of the Company, Merger Sub shall, extend (and re-extend) the Offer and its expiration date beyond the initial Expiration Time or such subsequent Expiration Time for successive extension periods (the length of each such individual extension period not to exceed ten (10) Business Days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act)); provided, however, that in no event shall Merger Sub be required to extend the expiration of the Offer pursuant to this clause (iii) for more than twenty-five (25) Business Days in the aggregate;

In no event shall Merger Sub be permitted to terminate the Offer prior to the Expiration Time, unless this Agreement has been previously terminated. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer and not acquire any Shares pursuant thereto. If the Offer is terminated by Merger Sub prior to the acceptance for payment and payment for Shares tendered in the Offer, Merger Sub shall promptly return (or cause to be returned), in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Xxxxxx and Merger Sub may voluntarily extend the Offer at least until the Inside Date, subject to compliance with the third sentence of this Section 2.1(d).

(e) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and to the satisfaction or waiver of the Offer Conditions, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment and pay for, promptly (within the meaning of Rule 14e-1(c) of the Exchange Act) after the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with this Agreement), all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (the time at which Shares are first accepted for payment under the Offer, the “Acceptance Time”).

(f) On the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) that shall include the summary term sheet required thereby and, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (and any other appropriate ancillary documents) (collectively, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) cause the appropriate Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws or other applicable Law. Parent and Xxxxxx Sub agree that they shall cause the Offer Documents to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and all other applicable Laws. The Company shall furnish to Parent and Merger Sub the information relating to the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries and the Company’s Stockholders required by the Exchange Act or other applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub to be set forth in the Offer Document, and to enable Parent and Merger Sub to comply with their obligations of this Section 2.1(f); provided, however, that no covenant is made by Parent or Merger Sub regarding the inclusion of any information regarding the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries or the Company’s Stockholders in the Offer Document. Parent will furnish to the Company the information relating to Parent or Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act or other applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub to be set forth in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”). Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it or any of its Affiliates for use in the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become (or shall have become known to be) false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law, or to correct any material omissions therefrom; provided,

however, that no covenant is made by Parent, or Merger Sub with respect to the information supplied by or on behalf of the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Document. Parent and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule TO as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and the appropriate Offer Documents as so corrected to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case, to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws or the rules or regulations of Nasdaq, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable. Except after a Company Board Recommendation Change or in response to any disclosures made by the Company in compliance with Section 7.3, the Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents each time before any such document is filed with the SEC, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel (it being understood that the Company and its counsel shall provide any comments thereon as soon as reasonably practicable). Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall (A) respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or the Offer and (B) except after a Company Board Recommendation Change or in response to any disclosures made by the Company in compliance with Section 7.3, provide the Company and its counsel with (x) any written comments or other written communications (and a summary of all substantive oral comments or communications) that Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule TO or Offer Documents promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (y) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response of Parent and Merger Sub to those comments and to provide comments to Parent and Merger Sub on that response as soon as reasonably practicable (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with Parent and Merger Sub or their counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will each comply in all material respects with applicable Law and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq in connection with the Offer.

2.2 Company Action.

(a) The Company hereby consents to the Offer and, subject to Section 7.3(c), the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation, as it may be amended, modified or withdrawn in accordance with this Agreement. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement), the Company shall furnish Parent and Merger Sub with a list of its stockholders available to it as well as, to the extent in the Company’s possession or reasonably available to and attainable to the Company in such five (5) Business Day period, security position listings, nonobjecting beneficial owner lists and any other available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders or beneficial owners of Shares and lists of securities positions of Shares held in stock depositories, in each case, as of the most recent practicable date (the date of the list used to determine the Persons to whom the Offer Documents and Schedule 14D-9 are first disseminated, the “Stockholder List Date”), and shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly provide to Parent such additional information (including updated lists of stockholders and listings or filings of securities positions) and such other assistance as Parent, Merger Sub, or their respective Representatives may reasonably request in connection with the Offer. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall keep confidential and not disclose the information contained in any such lists, listings and files, and shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with its terms, shall return to the Company or destroy (at Parent and Merger Sub’s sole option) all copies of such information then in their possession or control, in each case, in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) The Company shall (x) substantially concurrently with the filing of the Offer Documents on the Offer Commencement Date, file with the SEC the Schedule 14D-9 that, subject to the right of the Company Board to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 7.3(c), shall include the Company Board Recommendation, and shall set the Stockholder List Date as the record date for purposes of receiving the notice required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL and (y) promptly following the Offer

Commencement Date, disseminate or cause to be mailed to holders of Shares the Schedule 14D-9, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws or any other applicable Law. The Schedule 14D-9 shall also include the notice of appraisal required to be delivered by the Company under Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL at the time the Company first files the Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC and the fairness opinion of the Company’s financial advisor referenced in Section 5.3(c). The Company agrees that it shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and all other applicable Laws. Each of the Company, Merger Sub and Parent agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it or any of its Affiliates for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it shall have become (or shall have become known to be) false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law or to correct any material omission therefrom; provided, however, that no covenant is made by the Company with respect to such information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 14D-9. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case, to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws or the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable. Except with respect to any amendments filed after a Company Board Recommendation Change Parent or in connection with any disclosures made in compliance with Section 7.3, Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 each time before it is filed with the SEC (it being understood that Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel shall provide any comments thereon as soon as reasonably practicable), and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Sub and their counsel. Except with respect to any amendments filed after a Company Board Recommendation Change or in connection with any disclosures made in compliance with Section 7.3, the Company shall provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel with (i) any written comments or other written communications (and a summary of all substantive oral comments or communications) that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such comments and to provide comments to the Company on that response as soon as reasonably practicable (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with the Company or its counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC. The Company shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its Staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9. In addition, in connection with the Offer, the Company shall cause its Representatives to cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub to disseminate the Offer Documents to holders of Shares held in or subject to any Employee Plan, and to permit such holders of Shares to tender such Shares in the Offer, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the applicable Employee Plan.

(c) The Company shall register (and shall cause its transfer agent to register) the transfer of Shares accepted for payment by Merger Sub pursuant to Section 2.1(e) effective immediately after the Acceptance Time.

ARTICLE III

THE MERGER

3.1 The Merger.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, at the Effective Time, the Parties shall consummate the Merger, whereby (i) Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company; (ii) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will thereupon cease; and (iii) the Company will continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger. The Company, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.” The Merger shall be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall be effected as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Time without a vote on the adoption of this Agreement by the Company Stockholders.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Article IX, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place by electronic exchange of signatures and documents as soon as practicable after, and on the same day as, the Acceptance Time (or if the Acceptance Time does not occur on a Business Day, in no event later than the first (1st) Business Day after the Acceptance Time), subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof, of the conditions set forth in Article IX (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), 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; provided that in no event shall the Closing take place before October 10, 2024 (the “Inside Date”) without the prior written consent of Parent, which Parent may withhold in its sole discretion. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

(c) At the Closing, the Company and Merger Sub shall file a certificate of merger with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Certificate of Merger”) 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 to be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL.

3.2 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2(b) or Section 3.4, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any shares of Company Capital Stock or shares of Merger Sub, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares held by Parent, Merger Sub or their affiliates (as defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL) and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash without interest, less any required withholding pursuant to Section 3.8 (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 3.3 and Section 3.8. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or book-entry Uncertificated Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as specifically provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law, including the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(b) Each Share held by the Company as treasury stock or by Parent, Merger Sub or their affiliates (as defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL) 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 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 as of immediately following the Effective Time.

3.3 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Acceptance 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 (i) for the

Offer Price, the Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.1 and (ii) for the Merger Consideration (A) certificates representing Shares (the “Certificates”) or (B) uncertificated Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”), in each case, other than Shares held by the Company as treasury stock, the Company Subsidiaries, Parent or Merger Sub or their affiliates (as defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL). 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 Acceptance Time. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or shall cause the Merger Sub to deposit with the Paying Agent), cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares (such cash, the “Consideration Fund”). 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 3.3(g)), Parent shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered (including by causing the Surviving Corporation, 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 (3) Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall send, or shall cause the Paying Agent to send, to each holder of Shares at the Effective Time (other than Parent), 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 Acceptance 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 and validly executed 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) to the Paying Agent, 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 Xxxxxx.

(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 Xxxxxx; provided, however, that any such investments shall be in (i) short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than three (3) months or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America; (ii) commercial paper maturing within 270 days from the date of acquisition thereof and having, at such date of acquisition, the highest credit rating obtainable from Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or from S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc.; or (iii) certificates of deposit, banker’s acceptances and time deposits maturing within 180 days from the date of acquisition thereof issued or guaranteed by or placed with, and money markets deposit accounts issued or offered by, any domestic office of any commercial bank organized under the Laws of the United States of America or any State thereof that has a combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of not less than $500,000,000. Earnings on the Consideration Fund in excess of the amounts payable to the Company’s former 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 3.3(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 III, 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 Company’s 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) From and 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 III.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 3.3(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 (1) 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 3.3(a), upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged such Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.3 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 less any required withholding pursuant to Section 3.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of 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 one (1) year 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 3.3(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 3.3(a), upon demand.

3.4 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 3.2, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not tendered such holder’s Shares is entitled to and has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) 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, waives or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or fails to establish such holder’s entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in the DGCL, then in each such case such holder shall forfeit appraisal rights in respect of such Shares and such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted pursuant to Section 3.2(a) as of the Effective Time, and shall represent only, the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.3. 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, waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal in accordance with the DGCL or agree to do any of the foregoing.

3.5 Equity Awards.

(a) Treatment of Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Company RSU, each award of Company RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as follows:

(i) Vested Company RSUs. Each Vested Company RSU shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive a lump sum cash payment, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Price and (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Company RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company RSU Consideration”).

(ii) Unvested Company RSUs. Each Unvested Company RSU shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, equal to the product of (A) Per Share Price and (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cash Replacement Company RSU Amount”), which Cash Replacement Company RSU Amount will, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent or its Affiliates (including the Company or its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable at the same time as the Unvested Company RSU for which such Cash Replacement Company RSU Amount was exchanged would have vested and been payable pursuant to its terms. Each Cash Replacement Company RSU Amount shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) as applied to the Unvested Company RSU for which it was exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Merger and other administrative or ministerial changes reasonably determined by Parent that, in each case, do not adversely impact the Unvested Company RSU holder; provided that if any Continuing Employee’s employment is terminated without Cause (as defined in the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan) or, to the extent a Continuing Employee participates in the Executive Severance Plan as of the date hereof, the Continuing Employee resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), in each case, within twelve (12) months following the Effective Time (each, a “Qualifying Termination”), any unpaid portion of the Cash Replacement Company RSU Amount shall vest and be paid within sixty (60) days following the employee’s termination of employment, subject to such Continuing Employee’s execution (and non-revocation) of a release of claims in favor of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates. The Company shall otherwise pay any portion of the Cash Replacement Company RSU Amount that vests to the applicable holder thereof, no later than the second (2nd) regularly scheduled payroll date following the date on which such portion vests.

(b) Treatment of Company RSAs. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Company RSA, each award of Company RSA outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as follows:

(i) Director RSAs. Each Company RSA held by a non-employee member of the Company Board (the “Director RSA”) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive a lump sum cash payment, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, equal to the Per Share Price (the “Company RSA Consideration”).

(ii) Unvested Company RSAs. Each Unvested Company RSA shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, equal to the Per Share Price (the “Cash Replacement Company RSA Amount”), which Cash Replacement Company RSA Amount will, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent or its Affiliates (including the Company or its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable at the same time as the Unvested Company RSA for which such Cash Replacement Company RSA Amount was exchanged would have vested and been payable pursuant to its terms. Each Cash Replacement Company RSA Amount shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) as applied to the Unvested Company RSA for which it was exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Merger and other administrative or ministerial changes reasonably determined by Parent that, in each case, do not adversely impact the Unvested Company RSA

holder; provided that, if any Continuing Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination, any unpaid portion of the Cash Replacement Company RSA Amount shall vest and be paid within sixty (60) days following the employee’s termination of employment, subject to such Continuing Employee’s execution (and non-revocation) of a release of claims in favor of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates. The Company shall otherwise pay any portion of the Cash Replacement Company RSA Amount that vests to the applicable holder thereof, no later than the second (2nd) regularly scheduled payroll date following the date on which such portion vests.

(c) Treatment of Company Options. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Company Option, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as follows:

(i) Vested Company Options and Director Options. Each Vested Company Option and each Unvested Company Option held by a non-employee director of the Company Board (the “Director Option”) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive a lump sum cash payment, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over the applicable exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Company Option and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Company Option (the “Company Option Consideration”). Any Company Option (whether a Vested Company Option or an Unvested Company Option) that has a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Per Share Price shall be canceled as of the Effective Time without any cash payment or other consideration being paid in respect thereof.

(ii) Unvested Company Options. Each Unvested Company Option (other than the Director Options) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over the applicable exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company Option and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company Option (the “Cash Replacement Option Amount” and, together with the Cash Replacement Company RSA Amount, and Cash Replacement Company RSU Amount, the “Cash Replacement Amount”), which Cash Replacement Company Option Amount will, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent or its Affiliates (including the Company or its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable at the same time as the Unvested Company Option for which such Cash Replacement Company Option Amount was exchanged would have vested and been payable pursuant to its terms. Each Cash Replacement Company Option Amount shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) as applied to the Unvested Company Option for which it was exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Merger and other administrative or ministerial changes reasonably determined by Parent that, in each case, do not adversely impact the Unvested Company Option holder; provided that, if any Continuing Employee’s experiences a Qualifying Termination, any unpaid portion of the Cash Replacement Option Amount shall vest and be paid within sixty (60) days following the employee’s termination of employment, subject to such Continuing Employee’s execution (and non-revocation) of a release of claims in favor of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates.

(e) Treatment of Company PSUs. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Company PSU, each award of Company PSUs outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive a lump sum cash payment, without interest

thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, equal to the product of (i) the Per Share Price multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such award of Company PSUs (with the performance metrics deemed achieved as set forth in this Section 3.5(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter) (the “Company PSU Consideration,” and together with the Company PSA Consideration, Company RSU Consideration, Company RSA Consideration and the Company Option Consideration, the “Equity Award Consideration”). For the sake of clarity, any Company PSU that does not vest on the Effective Time in accordance with its terms, as in effect on the date hereof, will be canceled on the Effective Time without payment therefor.

On the exercise date of the Final Purchase Period, the Company shall apply the funds credited as of such date pursuant to the Company ESPP within each participant’s payroll withholding account to the purchase of whole Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP, and such Company Common Stock shall be outstanding Company Common Stock and entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the Per Share Price.

(h) Further Actions. The Company shall pass resolutions approving, and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or required to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.5.

3.7 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Article III. Parent or the Paying Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Price, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such customary amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

3.8 Required Withholding. Each of the Paying Agent, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation (without duplication) and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold therefrom pursuant to any applicable Tax Laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. All payments made under this Agreement that constitute compensation to employees for services for Tax purposes shall be made through the payroll of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable.

As of the date of this Agreement, assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1, Parent has no reason to believe (both before and after giving effect to any “market flex” provisions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment (including with respect to fees and original issue discount)) that any of the conditions to the funding or investing, as applicable, to the Financing contained in the Financing Commitments will not be satisfied on a timely basis (and in any event, not later than the Closing), or that the Financing will not be made fully available to Parent at or prior to the Closing. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has fully paid, or caused to be fully paid, all commitment fees or other fees, expenses or deposits in connection with the Financing or otherwise required by the Financing Commitments, in each case, that are due and payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Financing Commitments (or, if applicable, any Financing Agreements).

(i) other than in connection with a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may effect a Recommendation Change pursuant to clause (A), (C) or (E) of Section 7.3(c)(i) in response to any positive material event or development or material change in circumstances with respect to the Company that was (A) not actually known or reasonably foreseeable to the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement and which becomes known to the Company Board after the date hereof; and (B) does not relate to (a) any Acquisition Proposal; (b) the mere fact, in and of itself, that the Company meets or exceeds any internal or published or third-party projections, forecasts, estimates or predictions of revenue, earnings or other financial or operating metrics for any period ending on or after the date of this Agreement, or changes after the date of this Agreement in the market price or trading volume of the Company Common Stock or the credit rating of the Company (it being understood that the underlying cause of any of the foregoing in this clause (b) may be considered and taken into account); or (c) Parent or its Affiliates (each such event, an “Intervening Event”), if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law and if and only if:

(1) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days in advance to the effect that the Company Board (or a committee thereof), has (A) so determined; and (B) resolved to effect a Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 7.3(d)(i), which notice will specify the applicable Intervening Event in reasonable detail; and

(2) prior to effecting such Recommendation Change, the Company and its Representatives, during such four (4) Business Day period, shall have negotiated with Parent (to the extent that Parent desires to so negotiate) and its Representatives in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that would permit the Company Board to no longer determine that the failure to make a Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary

duties pursuant to applicable Law; provided that any change in the applicable Intervening Event shall require the Company to provide a new written notice to Parent pursuant to Section 7.3(d)(i)(1) and begin a new negotiation period of four (4) Business Days; and

(3) at the end of such four (4) Business Day, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect a Recommendation Change continues to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable law after taking into account any adjustments to the terms and conditions that Parent has agreed in writing to make prior to the end of such four (4) Business Day period, as applicable; or

(ii) if the Company has received an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board may (A) effect a Recommendation Change with respect to such Acquisition Proposal; or (B) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, in each case if and only if:

(1) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law;

(2) solely in the event of any termination of this Agreement in order to cause or permit the Company Group to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal which constitutes a Superior Proposal under this sub-clause (2) of this Section 7.3(d)(ii), the Company Group and its Representatives have complied in all material respects with their obligations pursuant to this Section 7.3 with respect to such Acquisition Proposal;

(3) (i) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”) to the effect that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has (A) subject to Section 7.3(a), received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn; (B) concluded in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and (C) resolved to effect a Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(h), which notice will specify the basis for such Recommendation Change or termination, including the identity of the Person or “group” of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions thereof and copies of all documents and agreements relating to such Acquisition Proposal; (ii) prior to effecting such Recommendation Change or termination, the Company and its Representatives, during the Notice Period, have negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent desires to so negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to permit the Company Board to determine that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that in the event of any amendment to the financial terms of, or any other material revisions, updates or supplements to such Acquisition Proposal, the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.3(d)(ii)(3) with respect to such new written notice (it being understood that the “Notice Period” in respect of such new written notice will be three (3) Business Days); and (iii) at the end of the applicable Notice Period, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) concludes in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and that the failure to effect a Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(h) would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable law after taking into account any revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent and after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel; and

(4) solely in the event of any termination of this Agreement in order to cause or permit the Company Group to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal under sub-clause (2) of this Section 7.3(d)(ii), the Company will have validly

terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1(g), including paying the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 10.3(b) prior to or concurrently with the termination of this Agreement.

Such notice must include (i) the identity of the Person or “group” of Persons making such offers or proposals and copies of all documents and agreements related to such Acquisition Proposal; and (ii) a summary of the material terms and conditions of such offers or proposals. Thereafter, the Company must keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and material terms (and supplementally and promptly provide the copies of documents, agreements and summaries of terms) of any such offers or proposals (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any related substantive discussions or negotiations.

(f) Certain Disclosures. Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14D-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14D-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication); (ii) complying with Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; (iii) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 7.3; or (iv) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders (including regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company Group) that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined to make in good faith, in order to comply with applicable Law, regulation or stock exchange rule or listing agreement (solely to the extent such disclosure does not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change), it being understood that any such statement or disclosure made by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) pursuant to this Section 7.3(f) must be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) and the rights of Parent under this Section 7.3, it being understood that nothing in the foregoing will be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to effect a Recommendation Change other than in accordance with Section 7.3(d). In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, a factually accurate public statement by the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof), to the extent required by Law, that solely describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, and the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal will not, in and of itself, be deemed to be (A) a withholding, withdrawal, amendment, modification or proposal by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify the Company Board Recommendation; (B) an adoption, approval or recommendation with respect to such Acquisition Proposal; or (C) a Recommendation Change.

(g) Breach by Representatives. The Company agrees that any action or inaction taken by (1) directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (2) other Representatives acting at the direction of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be deemed to constitute a breach by the Company of this Section 7.3. The Company will not authorize or direct or knowingly permit any Representative of the Company to breach this Section 7.3, and upon becoming aware of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 7.3 by an employee or Representative of the Company, shall use its reasonable best efforts to stop such breach or threatened breach.

8.3 Financing Obligations.

(a) No Amendments to Financing Commitment. Prior to the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement, Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, permit any amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or extension to be made to any of the Financing Commitments or any Financing Agreements (as defined below) or any condition, provision or remedy under any of the Financing Commitments or any Financing Agreement or replace all or any portion of the Financing Commitments, in each case, to the extent such amendment, modification, supplement, replacement, waiver or extension would, or would reasonably be expected to, (i) reduce (or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing from that contemplated by the Financing Commitments delivered as of the date hereof (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount thereof); (ii) otherwise materially adversely affect the ability or likelihood of the Closing or of the Buyer Parties to timely consummate

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the ability to pay the Required Amount in full; (iii) impose new or additional conditions or other terms or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the existing conditions to the receipt of the Financing or otherwise add, expand, amend or modify any other terms or provisions of the Financing Commitments as in effect on the date hereof, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the funding or investing, as applicable, of any portion of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining any portion of the Financing); (iv) materially delay, impair, impede or prevent the ability or likelihood of the Closing or make the timely funding or investing, as applicable, of any portion of the Financing at the Closing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing at the Closing materially less likely to occur in any respect; (v) adversely impact the ability of Parent or the Company, as applicable, in any material respect to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitments or the Financing Agreements; or (vi) result in the termination, withdrawal, repudiation or recission of any Financing Commitment or any Financing Agreement, or release or terminate any of the commitments or obligations of the Guarantor or any of the Financing Sources (clauses (i) through (vi), collectively, the “Prohibited Modifications”); provided, however, that subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 8.3, Parent may amend (or amend and restate) (x) the Debt Financing Commitment or the Financing Agreements to add lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof or (y) the Equity Commitment Letter, to increase the amount of Equity Financing available thereunder. In the event that Parent amends, modifies, supplements, replaces, extends or waives the Financing Commitments or any Financing Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.3, Parent shall deliver a true, correct and complete fully executed copy thereof to the Company (it being understood that any fee letters related thereto may be redacted in the same manner as the Debt Fee Letter), and, thereafter, references in this Agreement to “Debt Financing,” “Debt Financing Commitment,” “Equity Financing,” “Financing,” “Financing Commitments,” “Financing Sources” and “Financing Agreement” (and the other like terms in this Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to the Financing as so amended, modified, supplemented, replaced, extended or waived. Parent shall be subject to the same obligations with respect to any Alternative Debt Financing as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Debt Financing. In the event all conditions to the Financing Commitments have been satisfied (or waived) and all of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 (not including conditions that are to be satisfied by the delivery of documents or taking of any other action at the Closing) have been satisfied (or waived), Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Financing Sources and the Guarantor to fund and invest, as applicable, the applicable Financing for purposes of consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Taking of Necessary Actions. Parent will, and will cause its applicable Affiliates and Representatives to, use, or cause to be used, reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing, at or prior to the Closing, on the terms and conditions (including with respect to the Debt Financing, any “market flex” provisions) set forth in the Financing Commitments, including by using, in each case, reasonable best efforts to (i) comply with its obligations under the applicable Financing Commitments and Financing Agreements; (ii) maintain in effect the applicable Financing Commitments and the Financing Agreements, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof; (iii) negotiate and enter into the definitive agreements with respect to Debt Financing Commitments (any such agreements, collectively, the “Financing Agreements”), on a timely basis, consistent with the terms and conditions (including with respect to the Debt Financing, the “market flex” provisions) set forth in the Financing Commitments and without any Prohibited Modification; (iv) satisfy on a timely basis (and, in any event, at or prior to the Closing) all of the terms and conditions applicable to Parent (or any of its controlled Affiliates) to the Financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments and Financing Agreements (including by consummating the Equity Financing pursuant to the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter and by paying any commitment fees or other fees or deposits required by the Financing Commitments or the Financing Agreements); (v) consummate the Financing no later than the Closing; and (vi) enforce its rights under the Financing Commitments and Financing Agreements in the event of a breach by the Financing Sources under the Financing Commitments or the Financing Agreements that impedes or delays (or could reasonably be expected to impede or delay) the Closing. At the Company’s

reasonable request (email being sufficient), Parent shall keep the Company informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of the status and all material developments in its efforts to arrange the Financing. Parent shall give the Company prompt written (email being sufficient) notice (w) upon Parent having knowledge of or becoming aware of any violation, or any breach or default, or threatened (in writing) breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any violation, breach or default) by any party to any of the Financing Commitments or any Financing Agreement or any termination (including termination of any commitments) of any of the Financing Commitments, (x) of any actual or threatened (in writing) reduction, withdrawal, repudiation, recission or termination (including termination of any commitments) of the Financing by any Financing Source party to the Financing Commitments or any Financing Agreement, (y) of any material dispute or disagreement between or among parties to any of the Financing Commitments or Financing Agreements with respect to the obligation to fund or invest, as applicable, the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded or invested, as applicable, at the Closing, or (z) if at any time for any reason Parent believes or has determined that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources, contemplated by any of the Financing Commitments or Financing Agreements or will be unable to obtain Alternative Financing. Promptly following delivery by the Company to Parent of written request therefor, Parent shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to the Financing or any circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) Alternative Debt Financing. If all or any portion of the Debt Financing expires, terminates or becomes or could reasonably be expected to become unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any “market flex” provisions) or from the sources contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitment or the Financing Agreements applicable to such Debt Financing for any reason, or any of the Debt Financing Commitment or the Financing Agreements applicable to such Debt Financing shall be withdrawn, terminated, repudiated or rescinded for any reason (but without limiting the obligations of Parent in the penultimate sentence of Section 8.4(a)(vi) and in Section 6.5(b)), Parent shall (i) notify the Company in writing of such event and the reasons giving rise to such event, promptly following the occurrence of such event, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as possible following the occurrence of such event (and in any event no later than the Closing), and to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to, alternative financing from the same or alternative sources, in an amount sufficient, when added to any portion of the Financing that is and will be available prior to or at the Closing, to pay the Required Amount (“Alternative Debt Financing”), and (iii) obtain a new financing commitment letter (together with its related term sheets and fee letters, collectively, the “Alternative Debt Financing Commitment”) or a new definitive agreement with respect thereto (any such agreements, collectively, the “Alternative Debt Financing Agreements”) that provides for financing (A) on terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable or materially more onerous (including by way of the imposition of new conditions or expansion of existing conditions), taken as a whole, to Parent than the terms and conditions to the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date as set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment (taking into account the any “market flex” provisions thereof) without the Company’s consent; (B) does not contain or would not have any of the effects of any Prohibited Modification; and (C) in an amount that is sufficient, when added to any portion of the Debt Financing that is and will be available prior to or at the Closing, to pay the Required Amount. In such event, Parent shall deliver true, correct and complete fully executed copies of any Alternative Debt Financing Commitment or Alternative Debt Financing Agreements, as applicable, to the Company (it being understood that any fee letters related thereto may be redacted in the same manner as the Debt Fee Letter), and, thereafter, the term “Debt Financing” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative Debt Financing (and consequently the term “Financing” shall include the Equity Financing, any available portion of the then-existing Debt Financing and the Alternative Debt Financing), and the terms “Debt Financing Commitment” and “Financing Agreement,” in each case, as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative Debt Financing Commitment and any Alternative Debt Financing Agreement, respectively.

Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 8.8(a), for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall, indemnify, exculpate and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement or compromise in connection with any actual or threatened Legal Proceeding or other matter, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent that such actual or threatened Legal Proceeding or other matter is based on, arising out of or relating to the fact that such Person is or was a director, officer, member, manager or employee of the Company Group or such Person is or was serving, at the request or with the knowledge and consent of the Company Group, as a director, officer, member, manager or fiduciary of any other Person and based on, arising out of or relating to any act, omission, fact, circumstance or other matter occurring or existing on or prior the Effective Time. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall advance such reasonable and documented costs, fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnified Persons on a current basis to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; provided that the Indemnified Person to whom expenses are advanced provides a reasonable and customary undertaking (which shall not include posting of any collateral) to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable adjudication that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise terminate any actual or threatened Legal Proceeding or other matter in which an Indemnified Person sought or could have sought indemnification, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes a full and unconditional release of such Indemnified Person.

The obligations set forth in this Section 8.8 may not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that could adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person or Insured Person without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or Insured Person.

(f) Advancement of Fees, Costs and Expenses in Enforcement of Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and Subsidiaries shall advance, and cause to be paid, on a current basis all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing his or her rights under this Section 8.8.

(g) Successors and Assigns. If Parent, the Surviving Corporation, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns will (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer or convey all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each case, proper provisions will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns will assume all of the obligations of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries set forth in this Section 8.8.

8.9 Employee Matters.

(a) Employment; Benefits. As of the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries will continue to employ the Continuing Employees. From and after the Effective Time until at least the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time (or, if earlier, the termination date of an applicable Continuing Employee) (the “Compensation Continuation Period”), the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) provide each Continuing Employee (i) base salary (or base wages, as the case may be) that is no less favorable than the base salary (or base wages, as the case may be) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ii) annual target cash incentive compensation opportunity (excluding retention, long term incentive, change in control or transaction-based opportunity) that is no less favorable than the annual target cash incentive compensation opportunity that is provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to the same exclusions); and (iii) severance benefits and payments to each Continuing Employee whose employment is involuntarily terminated during such period that are no less favorable than the severance benefits and payments set forth in Section 8.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. If the Closing Date occurs during the 2024 calendar year, from and after the Effective Time until the end of the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) provide each Continuing Employee with employee benefits (other than equity or equity-based awards, defined benefit pension, post-employment welfare and non-qualified deferred compensation or benefits (the “Excluded Benefits”)) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Employee Plans set forth on Section 5.17(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (other than the Excluded Benefits, but including health and welfare benefit premiums) at a cost

to each such Continuing Employee that is no less favorable than the cost of such health and welfare benefit premiums to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries shall maintain (x) the paid holiday schedule and (y) the remote or hybrid work arrangement in effect for each such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time through the end of the 2024 calendar year. The Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to), (A) during the remainder of the Compensation Continuation Period if the Closing Date occurs during the 2024 calendar year and (B) during the Compensation Continuation Period if the Closing Date occurs during the 2025 calendar year, provide each Continuing Employee with employee benefits (other than the Excluded Benefits) in Parent’s sole discretion that are (1) no less favorable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Employee Plans set forth on Section 5.17(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (other than the Excluded Benefits), (2) no less favorable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2).

(b) Treatment of Annual Bonus. If the Closing Date occurs prior to the date on which annual bonuses in respect of the 2024 fiscal year are paid by the Company, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) pay to each Continuing Employee who remains employed with the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries through the date such annual bonuses in respect of the 2024 fiscal year would have been paid in the ordinary course, but in no event later than March 15th of the fiscal year immediately after the end of the 2024 fiscal year (the “Annual Bonus Payment Date”), a bonus for such fiscal year (the “Annual Bonus”) that is equal to the Annual Bonus that such Continuing Employee is entitled to receive under the applicable annual bonus plan set forth on Section 8.9(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, based on actual level of achievement of the applicable performance criteria for such fiscal year as determined in good faith consistent with past practice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if a Continuing Employee experiences a Qualifying Termination prior to the Annual Bonus Payment Date, subject to such Continuing Employee’s execution (and non-revocation) of a release of claims in favor of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) pay to such Continuing Employee, on the Annual Bonus Payment Date, a pro-rated portion of the Annual Bonus that such Continuing Employee would have been entitled to receive for such fiscal year if such Continuing Employee had remained employed, with such proration based on the relative portion of the 2024 fiscal year during which such Continuing Employee was employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries and based on actual level of achievement of the applicable performance criteria for such fiscal year.

(c) New Plans. For purposes of vesting (other than vesting of future equity awards), eligibility to participate, benefit levels and future vacation accruals under any employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries (exclusive of the Company) in which any Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date (the “New Plans”), other than the Excluded Benefits, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation any of its Subsidiaries to, provide each Continuing Employee with credit for such employee’s years of service with the Company and any respective predecessors before the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing service credit shall not be required to apply (x) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service or (y) with respect to any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) Parent shall, or shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to cause each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits; and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to, (1) cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents and (2) cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of

the plan year during which the Closing Date occurs to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all corresponding deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year in which the Closing Date occurs as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(d) Termination of 401(k) Plan. If requested by Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause each Employee Plan that is a tax-qualified defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) to be terminated, effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, and provide that participants in the Company 401(k) Plan shall become fully vested in any unvested portion of their Company 401(k) Plan accounts as of the date such plan is terminated. If such request to terminate the Company 401(k) Plan is made, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that the Company 401(k) Plan has been terminated (effective no later than immediately prior to the Closing Date and contingent on the Closing) pursuant to resolutions of Company. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to prior review and reasonable comment by Xxxxxx. If the Company 401(k) Plan is terminated, Parent shall designate a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan with a cash or deferred arrangement that is sponsored by Parent or one of its Affiliates (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) that will cover eligible Continuing Employees effective as of or as soon as administratively practicable following the Closing Date but in no event later than the end of the first full payroll period following the Closing Date. In connection with the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, Parent shall cause the Parent 401(k) Plan to accept from the Company 401(k) Plan the “direct rollover” of the account balance (including the in-kind rollover of promissory notes evidencing all outstanding loans that are not in default) of each Continuing Employee who participated in the Company 401(k) Plan as of the date such plan is terminated and who elects such direct rollover in accordance with the terms of the Company 401(k) Plan and the Code.

(e) Separation Plan. Prior to and effective upon the Closing Date, the Company Board shall take all actions (including adopting any resolutions) as are necessary to terminate the Separation Plan. From and after the Closing Date, none of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability under the Separation Plan.

(f) No provision of this Agreement will: (i) create any right in any Continuing Employee or any other employee of the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary to continued employment by the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries, or preclude the ability of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any employee for any reason; (ii) require the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to continue any particular Employee Plans or prevent the amendment, modification or termination

thereof after the Closing Date in accordance with plan terms; or (iii) be treated as an establishment, amendment or any other modification to any Employee Plan or any employee benefit plan, compensation, program, policy, contract, or agreement.

8.10 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent will take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement and to consummate the Merger upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Parent and Merger Sub will be jointly and severally liable for the failure by either of them to perform and discharge any of their respective covenants, agreements and obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement, in each case if and only to the extent that such untruth, inaccuracy or failure would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of the Buyer Parties to consummate the Offer and the Merger set forth in Section 9.1 to fail to be satisfied at the Closing, except that no such notification will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the Buyer Parties to consummate the Offer and the Merger or the remedies available to the Parties under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement apply to any information provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 8.11(a).

8.12 Public Statements and Disclosure. The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the Merger of the Company will be in a form reasonably agreed by each Party. Thereafter, the Company on the one hand, and the Buyer Parties, on the other hand, will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the other Parties’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before (a) participating in any media interviews; (b) engaging in any meetings or calls with analysts, institutional investors or other similar Persons; or (c) providing any statements that are public or are reasonably likely to become public, in any such case to the extent relating to the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that (x) neither the Buyer Parties nor Company will be obligated to engage in such consultation (or obtain such consent) with respect to communications that are (i) required by applicable Law, regulation or stock exchange rule or listing agreement; (ii) not inconsistent in any material respect with previous communications made by the Parties in compliance with this Section 8.12; or (iii) made in connection with, or with respect to, a Recommendation Change (in the case of the Company, that complies with Section 7.3); and (y) Parent will not be obligated to engage in such consultation (or obtain such consent), with respect to communications that are directed to any existing or prospective general or limited partners, equity holders, members and investors of Parent or its Affiliates with respect to fundraising, marketing, informational or reporting activities, so long as such communications are consistent with prior communications previously agreed to by Parent and the Company and do not add additional material information not included in such previous communication.

(b) Effect of Termination. Any proper and valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 will be effective immediately upon mutual written agreement of Parent and Company (if terminated in accordance with Section 10.1(a)) or the delivery of written notice by the terminating Party to the other Parties. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement will be of no further force or effect without liability of any Party (or any partner, member, manager, stockholder, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent or other representative of such Party) to the other Parties, as applicable, except that Section 8.4(e), Section 8.4(f), the penultimate sentence of Section 8.6, Section 8.12, this Section 10.2, Section 10.3, Section 10.4 and Article XI will each survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.

In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement will affect the rights or obligations of any Party pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Guarantee, which rights, obligations and agreements will, to the extent not otherwise terminated upon the termination of this Agreement, survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.

(f) Sole Remedy.

(i) If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 10.1 in circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable (but subject to the third sentence of Section 10.2(b)), Parent’s receipt

of the Company Termination Fee to the extent owed pursuant to Section 10.3(b), together with any Default Payments to the extent owed with respect thereof pursuant to Section 10.3(e), if applicable, will be the sole and exclusive remedies of Parent and Merger Sub and each of their respective Affiliates against (A) the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates; and (B) the former, current and future holders of any equity, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders and assignees of each of the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates (the Persons in clauses (A) and (B) collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) for any and all losses, liabilities and damages incurred based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement or the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder (including the Offer and the Merger or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure), and upon payment of such amounts, none of the Company Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to Parent Related Parties (and none of the Parent Related Parties or any other Person will be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against any Company Related Party) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (except that the Company Related Parties will remain obligated with respect to the Parent Related Parties, and the Parent Related Parties may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Support Agreements and Section 10.3(a), as applicable), it being understood that the foregoing shall not limit (1) Parent’s right to specific performance pursuant to Section 11.8 prior to the valid termination of this Agreement or (2) Parent’s right to seek monetary damages from the Company for Willful and Material Breach or fraud. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, while Parent may pursue a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 11.8 and payment of the Company Termination Fee and the Default Payments or monetary damages, in each case, as set forth herein, in no event shall Parent be entitled to obtain (1) both (x) a grant of specific performance pursuant to Section 11.8 that results in the Closing occurring, on the one hand, and (y) the payment of (i) any monetary damages from the Company in connection with fraud or any Willful and Material Breach or (ii) the payment of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 10.3(b), on the other hand, or (2) both payment of any monetary damages from the Company in connection with fraud or any Willful and Material Breach, on the one hand, and payment of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 10.3(b), on the other hand. The Company Related Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.3(f)(i).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, other than (1) the Company’s injunctive, specific performance and equitable relief rights pursuant to (and subject to the limitations of) Section 11.8 and (2) the Company’s right to enforce its rights under the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement and receive payment of the Parent Termination Fee, to the extent owed pursuant to Section 10.3(c), together with any Default Payments to the extent owed in respect thereof pursuant to Section 10.3(e), if applicable, will be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Company Related Parties against the Parent Related Parties and their Affiliates and the Financing Sources for any and all losses, liabilities and damages incurred based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Financing, including the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement or the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder (including the Offer and the Merger or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure), and upon payment of such amount, none of the Parent Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to the Company Related Parties (and none of the Company Related Parties or any other Person will be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against any Parent Related Party) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, in no event shall Parent, Merger Sub or the Parent Related Parties be liable for any monetary remedy (including monetary damages for fraud or any Willful and Material Breach, or monetary damages in

lieu of specific performance or monetary damages pursuant to Section 10.2(b)) other than, solely with respect to Parent (or the Guarantor under the Guarantee to the extent provided, and subject to the limitations, therein), the payment of the Parent Termination Fee, to the extent owed pursuant to Section 10.3(c), plus any Default Payments, to the extent owed pursuant to Section 10.3(d). The Parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, while the Company may pursue a grant of specific performance in accordance with (and subject to the limitations of) Section 11.8 and payment of the Parent Termination Fee, in no event shall the Company be entitled to obtain both (x) a grant of specific performance pursuant to Section 11.8 that results in the Closing occurring, on the one hand, and (y) the payment of the Parent Termination Fee to the extent owed pursuant to Section 10.3(c), on the other hand. Subject to the other limitations of this Section 10.3(f), the Parent Termination Fee plus the Default Payments shall be the maximum aggregate liability (including in the case of fraud or any Willful and Material Breach) of Parent, Merger Sub and the Parent Related Parties hereunder (and, without duplication, of the Guarantor under the Guarantee) with respect to any and all claims under or relating to this Agreement and the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Parent Related Parties and Company Related Parties and the Financing Sources are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 10.3(f)(ii).

(g) Liquidated Damages. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledge and agree that each of the Company Termination Fee and the Parent Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub or the Company, as the case may be, 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 Offer and the Merger.

10.4 Amendment.

10.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, (a) any Party may, to the extent legally allowed and except as otherwise set forth herein, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, as applicable; (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; and (iii) subject to the requirements of applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such Party contained herein; and (b) the Outside Date may be extended by a mutual agreement in writing between Parent and the Company. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such Party. Any delay in exercising any right pursuant to this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right.

10.6 No Liability of Financing Sources. None of the Financing Sources will have any liability to the Company or any of its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing or otherwise, whether at Law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and none of the Company nor any of their Affiliates will have any rights or claims against any of the Financing Sources hereunder or thereunder; provided that nothing in this Section 10.6 shall limit the rights of the Company and its Affiliates from and after the Effective Time under any Debt Financing Commitment or any Financing Agreements (but not under this Agreement) to the extent the Company and/or its Affiliates are party thereto.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to Section 10.2(b), Section 10.3(f) and this Section 11.8, (A) the Parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof; (B) the provisions of Section 10.3 are not intended to and do not adequately compensate the Company, on the one hand, or the Buyer Parties, on the other hand, for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement, and will not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief; and (C) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Merger and without that right, neither the Company nor the Buyer Parties would have entered into this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the rights of the parties to the definitive agreements for any Debt Financing under the terms thereof, none of the Company and its Affiliates and their direct and indirect equity holders shall have any rights or claims (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) against any Financing Source, solely in their respective capacities as lenders or arrangers in connection with the Debt Financing, and in no event shall the Company, any of its Affiliates or its or their direct or indirect equity holders be entitled to directly seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement against any Financing Source.

(ii) Subject to Section 11.8(b)(i), the Parties agree not to raise any objections to (A) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand; and (B) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that in each case, Parties may raise objections to the existence of any such breach or non-compliance or threatened breach or non-compliance. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security.

11.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Any and all claims, controversies and causes of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort or statute, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws or other rules that would result in the application of the Laws or statutes of limitations of a different jurisdiction.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDERS

Each Stockholder represents and warrants, on its own account with respect to the Subject Shares, to Parent and Merger Sub as to such Stockholder on a several basis, that:

2.1 Authorization; Binding Agreement. If such Stockholder is not an individual, such Stockholder is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or constituted and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Stockholder’s entity powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary entity actions on the part of such Stockholder, and such Stockholder has full power and authority to comply with, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Xxxxxx and Merger Sub, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Limitations. No other action of such Stockholder is necessary to authorize this Agreement.

2.2 Non-Contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by such Stockholder with any provisions herein will (a) if such Stockholder is not an individual, violate, contravene or conflict with or result in

any breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or other similar governing documents) of such Stockholder, (b) require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority on the part of such Stockholder, except for compliance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other United States or federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (c) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions of, or require any consent, waiver or approval or result in a default or loss of a benefit (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration or any event that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute a default or give rise to any such right) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract or other legally binding instrument or obligation to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder or any of its assets may be bound, (d) result (or, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would result) in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Subject Shares of such Stockholder (other than one created by Parent or Merger Sub), or (e) violate any Law or order applicable to such Stockholder or by which any of its Subject Shares are bound, except as would not, in the case of each of clauses (c), (d) and (e), adversely affect in any material respect such Stockholder’s ability to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement. No trust of which such Stockholder is a trustee requires the consent of any beneficiary to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

2.3 Ownership of Subject Shares; Total Shares. As of the date hereof, such Stockholder is, and (except with respect to any Subject Shares Transferred in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof or accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer) at all times during the Agreement Period (as defined below) will be, the record or beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of all such Stockholder’s Subject Shares and has good and marketable title to all such Subject Shares free and clear of any Liens, except for (a) any such Lien that may be imposed pursuant to (i) this Agreement or in accordance with the Merger Agreement and (ii) any applicable restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act or any state securities law and (b) community property interests under applicable Law. Except to the extent of any Subject Shares acquired after the date hereof (which shall become Subject Shares upon that acquisition), the number of Subject Shares listed on Schedule A opposite such Stockholder’s name are the only equity interests or other securities in the Company beneficially owned or owned of record by such Stockholder as of the date hereof. Other than the Subject Shares, such Stockholder does not own any shares of Company Common Stock or any other interests in any securities of the Company and has no interest in or voting rights with respect to any securities of the Company.

None of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are subject to any stockholders’ agreement, proxy, voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or Lien with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares, except as provided hereunder.

With respect to such Stockholder, as of the date hereof, there is no Legal Proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge of such Stockholder, threatened against such Stockholder or any of such Stockholder’s properties or assets (including any shares of Company Common Stock or Company Options beneficially owned by such Stockholder) that could reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise materially impair such Stockholder’s ability to perform and comply with its obligations hereunder.

2.6 Brokers.

Upon the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.2, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that (x) nothing set forth in this Section 5.2 shall relieve any party from liability for fraud or any Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement prior to termination hereof and (y) the provisions of this Article V shall survive any valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.2.

5.3 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

5.4 Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such fees and expenses, whether or not the Transactions are consummated.

5.5 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, together with Schedule A, and the other documents and certificates delivered pursuant hereto, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party (including by operation of law, by merger or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, that Parent or Merger Sub may assign any of their respective rights and obligations to one or more Affiliates at any time, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent of its obligations hereunder.

5.6 Enforcement of the Agreement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any Stockholder did not perform any of the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breached any such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Sub shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement (including any party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, without the requirement of posting bond, and each party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon Parent and Merger Sub will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon Parent or Merger Sub, and the exercise by Parent or Merger Sub of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

5.7 Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each Stockholder (i) consents to submit himself, herself or itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, solely if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court sitting in the State of Delaware with respect to any dispute arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that he, she or it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (iii) agrees that he, she or it will not bring any action arising out of, relating to or in connection with this

Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than any such court. Each Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Legal Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or in any federal court located in the State of Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail in accordance with Section 5.1 shall be effective service of process for any proceeding arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH STOCKHOLDER CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF PARENT OR MERGER SUB HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT PARENT OR MERGER SUB WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH STOCKHOLDER UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATION OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH STOCKHOLDER MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH STOCKHOLDER HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.7(b).

5.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, and any dispute arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

5.9 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

5.10 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

5.11 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner.

5.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement or any counterpart may be executed and delivered by electronic communications by portable document format (.pdf), each of which shall be deemed an original.

5.13 Interpretation. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and article, section, paragraph and schedule references are to the articles, sections, paragraphs and schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without

limitation.” The words describing the singular number shall include the plural and vice versa, words denoting either gender shall include both genders and words denoting natural persons shall include all Persons and vice versa. The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof,” “of even date herewith” and terms of similar import, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the preamble to this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to a date or time shall be deemed to be such date or time in New York City, unless otherwise specified. The parties agree that they participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Person by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. The words “or,” “neither,” “nor” and “either” are not exclusive. Whenever used in this Agreement, any noun or pronoun will be deemed to include the plural as well as the singular and to cover all genders.

5.14 Further Assurances. Each Stockholder will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations, to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5.15 Capacity as Stockholder. Each Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and not, if applicable, in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company. Nothing herein shall in any way restrict a director or officer of the Company in the taking of any actions (or failure to act) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, or in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company, or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director or officer of the Company from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director or officer, and no action taken in any such capacity as an officer or director of the Company shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement, provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be understood to relieve any party to the Merger Agreement of any obligation under, or of any liability for breach of any provision of, the Merger Agreement.

5.16 Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2.

5.17 Stockholder Obligation Several and Not Joint. The obligations of each Stockholder hereunder shall be several and not joint, and no Stockholder shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by any other Stockholder. Further, Parent and Merger Sub agree that no Stockholder will be liable for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations of, or incurred by, the Company resulting from the Company’s breach of the Merger Agreement except to the extent that breach of such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder was also involved in such breach by the Company.
