This Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended from time to time, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 25, 2018, by and among: Myriad Genetics, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Parent”); Cinnamon Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”); Counsyl, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”); and Fortis Advisors LLC, as the Securityholders’ Representative. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.
Recitals
A.Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”). Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist as a separate corporate entity, and the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
B.The respective boards of directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have approved this Agreement and approved the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Agreement
The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1.1Merger of Merger Sub into the Company
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease. The Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).
The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the Company’s offices, at 7:00 a.m. San Francisco time on a date to be designated by the Company (the “Closing Date”), which shall be no later than the second Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the
1.
174046687 v20
conditions set forth in Section 6 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub) and Section 7 (Conditions Precedent to Obligation of the Company) (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions); provided that if such Business Day would otherwise occur (a) on or before July 31, 2018, then the Closing shall be delayed until July 31, 2018, and (b) after July 31, 2018 and on or between the 20th day and the last day of a month, then the Closing shall be delayed until the last Business Day of such month, in each case, so long as, as of the date the Closing would have otherwise occurred but for the foregoing proviso (such date, the “Satisfaction Date”) (i) each party has delivered to the other party the certificates required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 6.9 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub) and Section 7.6 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Company), as applicable, and (ii) each party irrevocably confirms in writing to the other party that the conditions in Section 6.1, 6.2 and 6.10 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub) (in the case of Parent) and Section 7.1 and 7.2 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Company) (in the case of the Company) have been satisfied or are waived, that but for the passage of time until such date, there is no other condition that is not then satisfied or waived nor any other bases then available to rely on to refuse to close on such date and that it is ready, willing and able to close on such date subject to the continued satisfaction of the remaining conditions in Section 6 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub) (in the case of Parent) or Section 7 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Company) (in the case of the Company), as the case may be; provided that between the Satisfaction Date and the Closing, the Company shall not have materially breached its covenants and agreements set forth in Section 4.2 (Conduct of the Business of the Company). Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, a certificate of merger satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”) shall be duly executed by the Company and, concurrently with or as soon as practicable following the Closing (but no later than the Closing Date and no earlier than the confirmation of receipt of the Payment Amount by the Payment Agent to Parent and the Company), delivered to and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective upon the date and time of the filing of such Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Company and Parent and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).
1.4Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent be required to issue more than the number of shares of Parent Stock referenced in Section 1.7(c) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the exercise of Company Warrants.
Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall satisfy all notification requirements under the terms of the outstanding Company Warrants, including with respect to the Put Option (as defined in the Company Put Warrant), or obtain waivers in lieu of satisfaction of such
5.
174046687 v20
notification requirements, and all Company Warrants shall be treated in accordance with their terms.
(a)Each Company Stockholder, each holder of In-the-Money Options and each holder of Company RSUs shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 1.7, to submit an election in accordance with the following procedures:
(i)Each Company Stockholder, holder of In-the-Money Options or holder of Company RSUs may specify in a request made in accordance with this Section 1.7(a) (herein called an “Election”) whether such Company Stockholder, holder of In-the-Money Options or holder of Company RSUs desires to receive payment of his, her or its respective portion of the Payment Amount in the form of (A) 100% shares of Parent Stock, (B) 100% cash or (C) a percentage specified by the Company Stockholder, holder of In-the-Money Options or holder of Company RSUs in shares of Parent Stock valued at the Parent Stock Price and the balance in cash.
(ii)The Letter of Transmittal and the Election Form shall contain provisions for the Company Stockholder, holder of In-the-Money Options or holder of Company RSUs to make an Election, and the Company or the Payment Agent shall provide Letters of Transmittal or the Election Form, as applicable, to the Company Stockholders, holders of In-the-Money Options and holders of Company RSUs promptly after the date hereof so as to permit such Company Stockholders, holders of In-the-Money Options and holders of Company RSUs to exercise their right to make an Election on or before the twentieth (20th) day after the date hereof (the “Election Deadline”). In no event shall the Letter of Transmittal and the Election Form be made initially available less than ten (10) days prior to the Election Deadline.
(iii)Any Election shall have been made properly only if Parent shall have received, by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date of the Election Deadline, a Letter of Transmittal or an Election Form, as applicable, properly completed and signed and, if applicable, accompanied by certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock to which such Letter of Transmittal relates. As the Company Stockholders will be instructed to return any completed Letter of Transmittal to the Payment Agent, Parent and the Company shall instruct the Payment Agent to present all Letters of Transmittal received at the Election Deadline to Parent promptly upon the occurrence of the Election Deadline. The Company shall present all Election Forms received at the Election Deadline to Parent promptly upon the occurrence of the Election Deadline.
(iv)Any Company Stockholder, holder of In-the-Money Options or holder of Company RSUs may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, change or revoke his, her or its Election by written notice received by Payment Agent or Parent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed revised Letter of Transmittal or an Election Form, as applicable. If Parent shall determine after reasonable consultation with the Company and Payment Agent that any Election is not properly made or no Election was made with respect to any shares of Company Capital Stock, such Company Stockholder, holder of In-
6.
174046687 v20
the-Money Options or holder of Company RSUs shall be deemed to have elected to receive 100% cash.
(v)If Parent or the Company terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 (Termination), all Elections shall be revoked automatically, and Parent and the Company shall promptly instruct the Payment Agent to return all certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock, if any, to the respective Company Stockholders.
(vi)Each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock, holder of In-the-Money Options and holder of Company RSUs exchanged pursuant to the Merger that would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Stock (after taking into account any Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Parent Stock multiplied by the Parent Stock Price, less any applicable withholding Taxes. No such holder will be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights as a stockholder in respect of any fractional shares.
(b)Each share of Parent Stock issued hereunder shall be issued at a valuation, solely for purposes of the distributions made hereunder equal to the Parent Stock Price (it being understood and agreed that the actual trading price of such shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date such shares are delivered to the Company Stockholders, holders of In-the-Money Options and holders of Company RSUs and each day thereafter may vary). The Company and Parent each hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that the mere change in the Parent Stock Price shall not give the Company, any Company Stockholder, any holder of In-the-Money Options, any holder of Company RSUs or Parent any right of recourse or a basis for the Company or Parent to avoid its obligations to complete the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Each Letter of Transmittal shall include an acknowledgement by the Company Stockholder, holder of In-the-Money Options or holder of Company RSUs electing to receive shares of Parent Stock that although the Parent Stock Price is being used for all Parent Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, it is likely that, due to the fact that the Parent Stock is traded on a public market, which can be volatile and unpredictable, the actual value of the Parent Stock on the date such shares are delivered to the Company Stockholders, holders of In-the-Money Options and holders of Company RSUs may differ from the Parent Stock Price.
(c)If, as a result of the Election process, the Company Stockholders, holders of In-the-Money Options and holders of Company RSUs in the aggregate would receive greater than 2,994,251 shares of Parent Stock, the Payment Agent and Parent shall adjust the cash/stock Election of each Company Stockholder, holder of In-the-Money Options and holder of Company RSUs as necessary, as instructed by the Company and pro rata in accordance with the ownership of shares of Company Capital Stock by each such Company Stockholder and shares of Company Capital Stock subject to the In-the-Money Options and Company RSUs held by such holders of In-the-Money Options and Company RSUs to ensure that no more than 2,994,251 shares of Parent Stock is paid as the Closing Merger Consideration Amount. The Letter of Transmittal shall include disclosure that the Election is subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 1.7(c).
7.

(b)Within 60 days following the Closing, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative a written statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) an unaudited Closing Date Balance Sheet and (ii) in reasonable detail its calculation of (A) the Closing Date Net Working Capital and the Final Net Working Capital Adjustment, (B) the Closing Date Cash Amount, (C) the Closing Date Indebtedness and (D) the Closing Date Transaction Expenses.

(c)If the Securityholders’ Representative disagrees with the calculations in the Closing Statement, the Securityholders’ Representative shall notify Parent of such disagreement in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) no later than 45 days after delivery of the Closing Statement. The Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (A) any item on the Closing Statement that the Securityholders’ Representative believes has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and the Securityholders’ Representative’s determination of the amount of such item and (B) the Securityholders’ Representative’s alternative calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital and Final Net Working Capital Adjustment, the Closing Date Cash Amount, the Closing Date Indebtedness or the Closing Date Transaction Expenses, as the case may be.

the failure of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, Final Net Working Capital Adjustment, the Closing Date Cash Amount, the Closing Date Indebtedness or the Closing Date Transaction Expenses to be calculated in accordance with this Section 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount), the Accounting Principles and the definitions of such terms contained in this Agreement (including the inclusion or exclusion of items in the definition and the magnitude of the included or excluded items). Any item or amount that Securityholders’ Representative does not dispute in reasonable detail in the Dispute Notice within such period shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder.
(d)In the event any such Dispute Notice is timely provided, Parent and Securityholders’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 15 days after the date of such Dispute Notice (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculations included in the Closing Statement that were disputed in the Dispute Notice. If, at the end of such 15-day period (or such longer period as mutually agreed), the Securityholders’ Representative and Parent remain unable to resolve the dispute in its entirety, then the unresolved items and amounts thereof in dispute shall be submitted to KPMG US LLP, or if such firm cannot or does not accept such engagement, another nationally recognized accounting firm, reasonably acceptable to Parent and Securityholders’ Representative, which shall not be the independent accountants of Parent or the Company (the “Dispute Auditor”). The Dispute Auditor shall determine, based solely on the provisions of this Section 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount), Accounting Principles and the written presentations by Securityholders’ Representative and Parent, and not by independent review, only those items and amounts that remain then in dispute as set forth in the Dispute Notice.

A judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction selected pursuant to Section 10.5 (Applicable Law; Jurisdiction) hereof may be entered upon the Dispute Auditor’s determination; provided that no party shall make any filing to obtain such judgment unless (i) the payment required by such determination shall not have been made and (ii) 15 days shall have elapsed following delivery of the Dispute Auditor’s determination and; provided, further, that any filing to obtain such judgment shall respect the confidential nature of the dispute resolution process provided in this Section 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount) and shall disclose the details of the dispute only to the extent necessary to obtain a judgment. The Dispute Auditor shall have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resorting to the Dispute Auditor as provided in this Section 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount) shall be the only recourse and remedy of the parties against one another with respect to, those items and amounts that remain in dispute under this Section 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount), and Parent shall not be entitled to seek indemnification or recovery of any attorneys’ fees or other professional fees incurred by Parent in connection with any dispute governed by this Section 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount). The Dispute Auditor shall allocate its fees and expenses between Parent and
14.
174046687 v20
Securityholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Participating Securityholders) according to the degree to which the positions of the respective parties are not accepted by the Dispute Auditor.
(f)The Securityholders’ Representative and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and representatives to, cooperate in good faith with the Dispute Auditor, and shall give the Dispute Auditor access to all data and other information it reasonably requests for purposes of such resolution. In no event shall the decision of the Dispute Auditor assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Parent or Securityholders’ Representative or lesser than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Parent or Securityholders’ Representative. Any determinations made by the Dispute Auditor pursuant to this Section 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount) shall be final, non-appealable and binding on the parties hereto, absent manifest error or common law fraud.
(g)“Adjustment Amount” shall mean the net amount, which may be positive or negative, equal to: (i) (a) the amount of the Final Net Working Capital Adjustment (based on the Closing Date Net Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount))) minus (b) the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment; plus (ii) (a) the Closing Date Cash Amount (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount)); minus (b) the Estimated Closing Date Cash Amount; minus (iii) (a) the amount of Closing Date Indebtedness (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount)); minus (b) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness; minus (iv) (a) the amount of Closing Date Transaction Expenses (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount)); minus (b) the Estimated Closing Date Transaction Expenses. The amount in clauses (i) – (iv) of this Section 1.12(g) (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount) and the Adjustment Amount may be positive or negative; provided that for all purposes of this Agreement, if the absolute value of such net amount is $40,000 or less, then the Adjustment Amount shall be $0.
If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then (A) within five Business Days after the final determination of the amount, Parent shall pay the Adjustment Amount due to the Participating Securityholders that are holders of Company Common Stock or Company Put Warrants, the Non-Employee Option Holders or Non-Employee RSU Holders (other than amounts payable in respect of Employee Options and Employee RSUs) to the Payment Agent for further distribution to such Participating Securityholders based on each such Participating Securityholder’s Ownership Percentage and (B) within one payroll period after the final determination of the amount, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Adjustment Amount due to the Participating Securityholders who are Employee Option Holders or Employee RSU Holders based on each such individual’s Ownership Percentage in respect of such individual’s Employee Options and Employee RSUs, in accordance with Section 5.6(d)(ii) (Tax Matters). Parent and Securityholders’ Representative also shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow the amount then remaining in the Adjustment Escrow, if any, and pay such amount to the Payment Agent and the Surviving Corporation, allocated in the same manner as distributions pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Prior to any such distribution of the Adjustment Amount to the Participating Securityholders, the Securityholders’
15.
174046687 v20
Representative shall deliver to Parent and the Payment Agent an updated Closing Payment Schedule (which need not be certified) setting forth the portion of the Adjustment Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount payable to each Participating Securityholder.
If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number then within five Business Days after the final determination of such amount, Parent shall be entitled to recover the Adjustment Amount solely from and to the extent of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, and the Securityholders’ Representative and Parent shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Adjustment Amount to Parent from the Adjustment Escrow and release from the Adjustment Escrow any balance then remaining in the Adjustment Escrow after payment of the Adjustment Amount to Parent, if any, and pay such amount to the Payment Agent and the Surviving Corporation, for distribution to the Participating Securityholders in the same manner as distributions pursuant to this Section 1.12(g) (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount).
(h)On the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the payment of: (i) the Estimated Closing Date Transaction Expenses, if any, to the Persons identified on the Estimated Closing Statement and (ii) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness (and any penalty, fee, premium and charge), if any, to the Persons identified on Section 1.8 of the Disclosure Schedule. The Company shall deliver all applicable wire instructions for the payment of any Estimated Closing Date Transaction Expenses and Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness to Parent at least three Business Days prior to the Closing.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no line item included in the calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital and Final Net Working Capital Adjustment, the Closing Date Cash Amount, the Closing Date Indebtedness and the Closing Date Transaction Expenses shall be duplicative of any other line item included in such other calculations.

16.
174046687 v20
the portion of the cash distribution payable to each Participating Securityholder in accordance with this Agreement.
(b)Any distribution of cash made to the Participating Securityholders shall be made in accordance with Sections 1.5 (Conversion of Shares), 1.6 (Treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants), 1.11(h) (Exchange/Payment), 1.12 (Post Closing Adjustment to Closing Merger Consideration Amount), 1.13 (Post-Closing Distributions), 1.14 (Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights) and 1.15 (Securityholders’ Representative) at the time of such distribution as set forth in this Agreement.

(b)The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of: (A) any written demand received by the Company prior to the Effective Time for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CCC; (B) any withdrawal of any such demand; and (C) any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL or the CCC.

(t)agree or commit to take any of the actions described in clauses (a) through (s) of this Section 4.2 (Conduct of the Business of the Company).
Nothing herein shall require the Company to obtain consent from Parent to do any of the foregoing if obtaining such consent might reasonably be expected to violate applicable Law.
(a)During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not, nor shall it authorize or instruct any of its officers, directors or employees or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative retained by it to (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage the submission of any Takeover Proposal by any Person or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to, or take any other action intended or reasonably expected to facilitate the making of any inquiry or proposal to the Company that constitutes, or is reasonably expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal by any Person. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any officer, director or employee of the Company or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative of the Company, acting on behalf of, and with the authorization of, the Company, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.3(a) (No Solicitation) by the Company.

52.
174046687 v20
and the (i) the identity of the Person making or submitting such inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request, and the terms and conditions thereof; and (ii) an accurate and complete copy of all written materials provided in connection with such inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request.
5.1Stockholder Consent or Approval.
(a)The Company shall, in accordance with the Company Charter and the Company’s bylaws and the applicable requirements of the DGCL and the CCC (including Sections 228 and 262 of the DGCL), solicit the written consents of stockholders of the Company for the adoption of this Agreement (the “Written Consent”).
(b)If applicable, the Company shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to secure from any Person who is a “disqualified individual,” as defined in Section 280G of the Code, and who has a right to any payments or benefits or potential right to any payments or benefits in connection with the consummation of the Merger that would be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code, a waiver of such Person’s rights to any such payments or benefits applicable to such Person to the extent that all remaining payments or benefits applicable to such Person shall not be deemed to be “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) and (ii) submit for approval by the Company Stockholders the Waived 280G Benefits, to the extent and in the manner required under Sections 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) and 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code (the “280G Stockholder Vote”). The Company shall not pay any of the Waived 280G Benefits if such payment is not approved by the Company Stockholders as contemplated above. If applicable, prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence satisfactory to Parent that a vote of the Company Stockholders was received in conformance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder, or that such requisite stockholder approval has not been obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits, and, as a consequence, the Waived 280G Benefits have not been and shall not be made or provided. Within a reasonable period of time before taking such actions, the Company shall deliver to Parent for review and comment copies of any documents or agreements necessary to effect this Section 5.1(b), including, but not limited to, any stockholder consent form, disclosure statement or waiver, and the Company shall consider in good faith all comments received from Parent on such documents or agreements.
5.2Regulatory Filings; Reasonable Best Efforts.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Antitrust Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger as soon as reasonably practicable, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, decisions, declarations, approvals and, expirations or terminations of waiting periods from Governmental Bodies and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain any such consent, decision, declaration,
53.
174046687 v20
approval, clearance or waiver, or expiration or termination of a waiting period by or from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Body in connection with any Antitrust Law, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, authorizations, approvals or waivers from third parties and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger.
(b)By way of illustration and not limitation, the parties hereto agree to promptly take, and cause their Affiliates to take, all actions and steps requested or required by any Governmental Body as a condition to granting any consent, permit, authorization, waiver, clearance and approvals, and to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and to resolve objections, if any, as the FTC, DO, or other Governmental Bodies of any other jurisdiction for which consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals and expirations or terminations of waiting periods are sought with respect to the Merger, so as to obtain such consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws, and to avoid the commencement of a lawsuit by the FTC, the DOJ or other Governmental Bodies under Antitrust Laws, and to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the Closing; provided, however, Parent and its Affiliates shall not be required to, and without the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not, before or after the Effective Time, sell, license, divest or dispose of or hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise), or agree to any other structural, behavioral or conduct remedy with respect to, any entities, businesses, divisions, operations, products or product lines, assets, Intellectual Property or businesses of Parent, the Company (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates) or agree to any restriction on the conduct of such businesses. Nothing in this Section 5.2 (Regulatory Filings; Reasonable Best Efforts) shall require Parent or the Company to take or agree to take any action unless the effectiveness of such action is conditioned upon Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries be obligated to litigate or participate in the litigation of any action, whether judicial or administrative, brought by any Governmental Body challenging or seeking to restrain, prohibit or place conditions on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates, if applicable, to): (i) promptly, but in no event later than 10 business days after the date hereof, make an appropriate filing of all Notification and Report forms as required by the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) promptly, but in no event later than 10 business days after the date hereof, make all other filings, notifications or other consents as may be required to be made or obtained by such party under foreign Antitrust Laws in those jurisdictions identified in Section 5.2(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, which contains the list of the only jurisdictions where filing, notification, expiration of a waiting period or consent or approval is a condition to Closing; and (iii) cooperate with each other in determining whether, and promptly preparing and making, any other filings or notifications or other consents required to be made with, or obtained from, any other Governmental Bodies in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
54.
174046687 v20
(d)Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.2 (Regulatory Filings; Reasonable Best Efforts), during the Pre-Closing Period, each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects and consult with each other in connection with any filing or submission in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including allowing the other party to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings and submissions, (ii) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding brought by a Governmental Body or brought by a third party before any Governmental Body, in each case, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) keep the other parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, (iv) promptly inform the other parties of any material communication to or from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) or any other Governmental Body in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, (v) upon request, promptly furnish to the other party, subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to limit disclosure to outside counsel and consultants retained by such counsel, with copies of documents provided to or received from any Governmental Body in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding (documents provided pursuant to this provision may be redacted (1) to remove references concerning the valuation of the business of the Company and its Affiliates, (2) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements and (3) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns), (vi) subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to limit disclosure to counsel and outside consultants retained by such counsel, and to the extent reasonably practicable, consult in advance and cooperate with the other parties and consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with any substantive communication, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding and (vii) except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, each party hereto shall provide advance notice of and permit authorized representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in advance in connection with any argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted to any Governmental Body in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding; provided, however, Parent shall, on behalf of the parties, control and direct all aspects of the parties’ efforts to obtain the required approvals under the Antitrust Laws, including having principal responsibility for devising, implementing and making the final determination as to the appropriate strategy relating to any matters relating to the Antitrust Laws, including with respect to any filings, notifications, submissions and communications with or to any Governmental Body, and shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the nature and timing of any divestitures or other remedial undertakings made for the purpose of securing any required approvals under the Antitrust Laws to the extent any such divestitures or other remedial undertakings would be conditioned upon and only be effective after the Closing. Each party hereto shall supply as promptly as practicable such information, documentation, other material or testimony that may be reasonably requested by any Governmental Body, including by complying at the earliest reasonably practicable date with any reasonable request for additional information, documents or other materials received by any party or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any Governmental Body in connection with such applications or filings for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent shall pay all filing fees under the HSR Act and for any filings required under foreign Antitrust Laws, but the Company shall bear its own costs for the preparation of any such filings. Neither party shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Body to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, or pull and refile under the HSR Act, or other applicable Antitrust Laws, without the prior written consent of the other.
(e)Parent further agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire any assets, business or any Person, whether by merger, consolidation, purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any Person or by any other manner or engage in any other transaction or take any other action, if the entering into of an agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or purchase or other transaction or action would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any delay in the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period or impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, clearance, approval or order of a Governmental Body necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including any approvals and expiration of waiting periods pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Law, (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Body entering, or increase the risk of not being able to remove or successfully challenge, any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or (iii) otherwise delay or impede the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.
(f)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary to (i) effectuate the transfer of, all changes to, or the termination of any Permits held by the Company (such Permits being set forth in Section 2.11(a) of the Disclosure Schedule), as required under all applicable Laws or as advised by any Governmental Body as being necessary for the continued conduct of Company’s business after the Closing and (ii) obtain consents of the counterparties to the Contracts set forth in Section 2.11(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, it being understood that for all purposes of this Agreement, in no event shall any failure to effectuate such transfer, changes or termination or to obtain such consent constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(a)Parent agrees that from and after the Effective Time, Parent and its Affiliates shall assume and honor all Company severance, retention and change of control plans, arrangements and agreements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time. Parent shall provide or shall cause to be provided, to each employee of the Company who continues in the employ of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) following the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) (a) base salary and a target incentive compensation opportunity, each of which is no less favorable than
55.
174046687 v20
the base salary and target incentive compensation opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee immediately before the Effective Time during the period from the Effective Time to June 30, 2019 and (b) other employee benefit and compensation programs that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately before the Effective Time during the period from the Effective Time to December 31, 2018; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not diminish any obligation of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to any employment or other agreement between the Company and any of its employees in existence as of the Closing Date.
(b)For all purposes under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Affiliates providing benefits to any Continuing Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Plans (other than with respect to equity-based New Plans or severance New Plans). In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) all pre-existing condition exclusions, waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, and (ii) any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.
(c)Parent hereby acknowledges that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a “change of control” or “change in control” (as applicable) under the Company Plans and the terms of employment-related agreements, as applicable.
(d)Nothing contained herein, express implied, is intended to confer upon any individual (including employees, retirees or dependents or beneficiaries or employees or retirees) any right as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of continued employment of any employee of the Company, including the Continuing Employees, and this Agreement shall not be construed so as to prohibit Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) from having the right to terminate the employment of any employee of the Company, including the Continuing Employees, provided that any such termination is effected in accordance with applicable law.
5.4Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
(a)All rights to indemnification by the Company existing in favor of those Persons who are or were directors and officers of the Company as of the date of this Agreement (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the Company Charter and the Company’s bylaws (as in effect as of the date
56.
174046687 v20
of this Agreement) and as provided in the indemnification agreements between the Company and such D&O Indemnified Persons in the forms made available by the Company to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Merger and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified, and shall be observed by the Surviving Corporation to the fullest extent available under applicable Law, and any claim made requesting indemnification pursuant to such indemnification rights shall continue to be subject to this Section 5.4 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors) and the indemnification rights provided under this Section 5.4 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors) until disposition of such claim.
(b)Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, at its own expense, purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage (the “D&O Tail Policy”) for the Company’s directors and officers, which shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable to, the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company.
(c)In the event that Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or Entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.4 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors).
(d)The provisions of this Section 5.4 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors) shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons and their successors, assigns and heirs and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such D&O Indemnified Person may have by contract or otherwise. This Section 5.4 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors) may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Effective Time without the prior written consent of the affected D&O Indemnified Person.
. During the Pre-Closing Period, neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Parent, on the other hand, shall issue any press release or make any public statement regarding this Agreement or the Merger, or regarding any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that (i) each party hereto may, without such consent, make any public statement in response to questions from investors, customers or vendors, or make internal announcements to employees, so long as such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the parties, or individually, if approved by the other party and (ii) a party may issue a press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein that does not disclose the material terms thereof after the Closing without the consent of the other party.
57.
174046687 v20
(a)Parent and the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and the Securityholders’ Representative, on the other hand, shall cooperate as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Company Returns and any proceeding, investigation, audit or review by a Governmental Body with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include signing any Company Returns, amended Company Returns, claims or other documents necessary to settle any Tax controversy, executing powers of attorney, the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information in such party’s control which are reasonably relevant to any such proceeding, investigation, audit or review, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement, and making available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records and documents in such party’s possession relating to Taxes of the Company including any ownership information in such party’s possession necessary to determine the presence or absence of an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code.
(b)Parent shall pay all sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary or similar Taxes incurred as a result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and shall file all related Tax Returns, and the Securityholders’ Representative and the Participating Securityholders shall cooperate with Parent in connection with any such filings.
(c)Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent shall file all related Tax Returns, and the Securityholders’ Representative and the Participating Securityholders shall cooperate with Parent in connection with any such filings.
(d)all applicable Tax purposes, Parent and the Company agree to, and shall not take any action or filing position inconsistent with, the following Tax treatment of the items specified below:
(i)The Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Securityholders’ Representative Reserve shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Participating Securityholders on the Closing Date.
(ii)Any payments made in respect of In-the-Money-Options and Company RSUs pursuant to this Agreement (A) shall be treated as compensation paid by the Company as and when received by the holder or the recipient, as applicable, thereof to whom such payment is due (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the Closing Date with respect to the Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Securityholders’ Representative Reserve), (B) shall be net of any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 1.11(k) (Exchange/Payment), and (C) shall, in respect of payments attributable to Employee Options and Employee RSUs only, be made through the Surviving Corporation’s standard payroll procedures in accordance with Section 1.11(h) (Exchange/Payment) (provided, however, that payments of the Adjustment Escrow Amount and Securityholders’ Representative Reserve in respect of Employee Options and
58.
174046687 v20
Employee RSUs shall be made directly by the Surviving Corporation (and not through its payroll)). Any applicable withholding Taxes in respect of the portion of the Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Securityholders’ Representative Reserve borne by Participating Securityholders in respect of Employee Options and Employee RSUs shall be withheld from their aggregate Closing Options Payout Amount or Closing RSUs Payout Amount, as applicable.
5.7Notification of Certain Events
During the Pre-Closing Period, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party of, and furnish such other party with any information it may reasonably request with respect to, the occurrence of any event or condition or the existence of any fact that may reasonably be expected to cause, in the case Parent is such notified party, any of the conditions to the obligations of Parent to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 6 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub) or, in the case the Company is such notified party, any of the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 7 (Conditions Precedent to Obligation of the Company), not to be satisfied. A party’s satisfaction of its obligations in the foregoing sentence shall not relieve such party of any of its other obligations under this Agreement.
5.8Commercially Reasonable Efforts
Prior to the Closing: (a) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 6 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub) to be satisfied on a timely basis; and (b) Parent and Merger Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7 (Conditions Precedent to Obligation of the Company) to be satisfied on a timely basis.
(a)Promptly upon the Closing Date (but no later than five Business Days following the Closing Date), Parent shall file (the date of such filing, the “Filing Date”) with the SEC a registration statement under Rule 415(a)(1)(i) promulgated under the Securities Act on Form S-3, or if Parent is not then eligible to use Form S-3 for a secondary offering, on any appropriate form under the Securities Act (including any amendment, supplement or new registration statement contemplated herein, the “Registration Statement”) providing for the offering and sale or other disposition of the shares of Parent Stock to be issued to the Company Stockholders, holders of In-the-Money Options and holders of RSUs in the Merger (the “Registrable Shares”). The Registration Statement and each registration statement filed pursuant to the next sentence shall become effective automatically upon filing with the SEC. If the actual number of shares issued in respect of the Payment Amount exceeds the number of shares registered under the Registration Statement, Parent shall file, within five Business Days after Parent has notice that the shares to be issued in respect of the Payment Amount exceeds the number of shares registered under the Registration Statement, an amendment to the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement on any appropriate form under the Securities Act covering the resale to the public by the Company Stockholders of all such excess shares. The holders of Registrable Shares (the “Selling Company Stockholders”) agree to cooperate with and provide such assistance to Parent, as Parent may reasonably request, in connection with any
59.
174046687 v20
registration and sale of the shares of Parent Stock, including accurately completing and executing selling stockholder questionnaires.
(b)Parent shall pay the expenses incurred by it in complying with its obligations under this Section 5.9, including all preparation, registration, filing fees, costs and expenses, all exchange listing fees, all fees, costs and expenses of counsel for Parent, accountant for Parent and other advisors or persons retained by Parent in connection with the filing. Parent agrees that it will (i) prepare and file with the SEC any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or prospectus which may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the offer of the Registrable Shares until the earlier of (A) the date upon which the sale of all shares registered thereby is completed and (B) until the date upon which all such shares may be sold to the public in accordance with Rule 144 under the Act by a person that is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Act) of Parent without regard to any of the conditions specified therein (other than the holding period requirement in paragraph (d) of Rule 144 so long as such holding period requirement is satisfied at such time of determination) or any rule of similar effect; (ii) prepare and promptly file with the SEC and promptly notify the Selling Company Stockholders of the filing of such amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statement therein or omission therefrom if, at any time when a prospectus relating to the shares of Parent Stock is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event with respect to Parent shall have occurred as a result of which any prospectus would include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iii) in case the Selling Company Stockholders are required to deliver a prospectus, prepare promptly such amendment or amendments to the Registration Statement and such prospectus or prospectuses as may be necessary to permit compliance with the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; and (iv) advise the Selling Company Stockholders promptly after Parent shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or amendment thereto or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of, and if issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, and to lift any suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction in which they have been qualified for sale, in each case at the earliest practicable date.
(c)At least three Business Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or comparable statements under securities or state “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction, or any free writing prospectus related thereto, or before sending a response to an SEC comment letter related to the Registration Statement, Parent shall furnish to the Securityholders’ Representative copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including all exhibits thereto and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the SEC), which documents will be subject to the review and comment of the Securityholders’ Representative, and Parent shall consider in good faith the changes reasonably requested by the Securityholders’ Representative prior to making any such filing.
60.
174046687 v20

Each such holder shall further agree to enter into such undertakings and take such other action relating to the conduct of the proposed offering which Parent may reasonably request as being necessary to assist Parent in complying with the federal and state securities laws and the rules or other requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or otherwise to effectuate the offering. Among other things, each of the Selling Company Stockholders will be required to agree that upon receipt by the Selling Company Stockholders of any notice (a “Suspension Notice”) from Parent of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5.9(b), the Selling Company Stockholders will forthwith discontinue the disposition of the shares of Parent Stock until they have received copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 5.9(b), or until such holders are advised in writing by Parent that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and have received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by Parent, such holders will deliver to Parent all copies then in such holders’ possession of the prospectus covering the shares of Parent Stock current at the time of receipt of such notice.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no officer or director of the Company shall incur any personal liability with respect to the Debt Financing and no action, liability or obligation (including any obligation to pay any commitment or other fees or reimburse any expenses) of the Company or any of its Representatives under any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument relating to the Debt Financing (other than a customary authorization letter) shall be effective until (or that is not contingent upon) the Effective Time.

In addition, all non-public information regarding the Company provided to Parent, its Affiliates or its Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.10 (Financing Cooperation) shall be kept confidential by them in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, provided that the Company hereby consents to the disclosure of information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Financing Sources, subject to the Financing Sources’ compliance with the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Debt Commitment. Parent shall promptly, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company in connection with the cooperation contemplated by this Section 5.10 (Financing Cooperation). Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company’s Representatives from and against any and all damages suffered or incurred by any of the Company’s Representatives, to the extent arising out of: (1) any action taken by a Company’s Representatives at the request of Parent pursuant to this Section 5.10 (Financing Cooperation) or in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing or (2) any information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical information related to the Company provided to Parent in writing by the Company specifically for use in the Debt Financing offering materials), and this indemnification shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(b) Parent acknowledges and agrees that obtaining the Debt Financing is not a condition to the Closing.

Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

72.
174046687 v20
delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.
“Knowledge” of the Company shall mean the actual knowledge of a fact or other matter, after reasonable inquiry, of the Knowledge Individuals. With respect to matters involving Intellectual Property, Knowledge does not require that the Knowledge Individuals have conducted, obtain or have obtained any freedom-to-operate opinions or similar opinions of counsel or any Intellectual Property clearance searches, and no knowledge of any third-party Intellectual Property that would have been revealed by such inquiries, opinions or searches will be imputed to the Knowledge Individuals or the direct reports of any of the foregoing; provided that any such opinions or searches that have been conducted or obtained prior to the date of this Agreement will not be excluded from the term “Knowledge” as a result of this sentence.
If the Securityholders’ Representative so desires, acting on behalf of the Participating Securityholders and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Company or Parent, Xxxxxx LLP (“Cooley”) shall be permitted to represent the Participating Securityholders after the Closing in connection with any matter, including without limitation, anything related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any other agreements referenced herein or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto.

Upon and after the Closing, the Company shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with Cooley, unless and to the extent Cooley is specifically engaged in writing by the Company to represent the Company after the Closing and either such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to the Participating Securityholders or the Securityholders’ Representative consents in writing at the time to such engagement. Any such representation of the Company by Cooley after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.
