AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 5, 2021 (the “Agreement Date”), by and among Ouster, Inc, a Delaware corporation (“Acquirer”), Sparrow Acquisition Sub., Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer (“Merger Sub”), Sense Photonics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the Converting Securityholders’ agent (the “Holders’ Agent”). Certain other terms used herein are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A.	Acquirer, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with this Agreement (the “*Merger*”). Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has carefully considered the terms of this Agreement and has unanimously (1) declared this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the documents referenced herein, including the Merger (collectively, the “Transactions”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company Stockholders, (2) approved this Agreement in accordance with Applicable Law and (3) adopted a resolution directing that the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the principal terms of the Merger be submitted to the Company Stockholders for consideration and recommending that all of the Company Stockholders adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger.

The board of directors of Merger Sub has (1) declared this Agreement and the Transactions, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Merger Sub and the stockholder of Merger Sub and (2) adopted a resolution recommending that Acquirer, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger.

D.	Acquirer has obtained the requisite approvals for this Agreement and the Transactions and Acquirer, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall, on the Agreement Date immediately following execution and delivery of this Agreement, adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger.

Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Acquirer’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain individuals set forth on Schedule A (each, a “Key Employee”) have each executed Acquirer’s customary form of (1) employment offer letter, together with a confidential information and invention assignment agreement (together, an “Offer Letter”), and (2) non-competition agreement (a “Non-Competition Agreement”), each to become effective upon the Closing.

F.	Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Acquirer’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Company Stockholders identified on Schedule B (collectively, the “*Consenting Stockholders*”), shall

enter into and deliver to Acquirer a stockholder agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Stockholder Agreement”).

Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall seek to obtain and deliver to Acquirer a written consent in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (a “Written Consent”) executed by the Consenting Stockholders, evidencing the obtainment of the Company Stockholder Approval.

It is intended that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3, which plan of reorganization the parties hereby adopt by executing this Agreement.

1.3 Effect on Capital Stock and Options.

(a) Treatment of Company Capital Stock, Company Equity Awards and Company Warrants. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party hereto, Company Stockholder, Company Optionholder, Company Warrantholder or any other Person:

(i) Company Capital Stock. The Converting Holders shall be entitled to receive the portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration issuable in respect of outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each share of Company Capital Stock, including any Unvested Company Shares, held by a Converting Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares that are owned by the Company as treasury stock) shall be cancelled and automatically converted into (A) at the Closing, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4, the right to receive a portion of the Closing Stock Consideration, as set forth on the Spreadsheet; plus (B) on the Holdback Release Date, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4 and Article VIII, the right to receive a portion of the Holdback Stock Consideration (representing the portion of Aggregate Stock Consideration to be withheld by Acquirer as of the Effective Time), as set forth on the Spreadsheet; plus (C) a portion of the Expense Fund Amount that becomes payable in accordance with Section 1.4(c), as set forth on the Spreadsheet.

(ii) Company Equity Awards.

(A) Company Options held by Company Employees. At the Effective Time, each Company Option (whether vested or unvested) that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Company Employee shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action by Acquirer, the Company, or the holder of such Company Option, be assumed (or in the case of a Company Option that is an EMI Option, be exchanged) by Acquirer and converted into (or in the case of a Company Option that is an EMI Option, be granted as) an option to purchase a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Acquirer Common Stock, equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio (and although the EMI Qualifying stock options of Acquirer which are to be granted in exchange for the Company Options that are EMI Options may be granted at any time within six months of the Effective Time, the Company Options that are EMI Options shall terminate at the Effective Time) (each, a “Converted Option”, and collectively, the “Converted Options”); provided, that any fractional share resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Following the Effective Time (or, in respect of Converted Options that are EMI Qualifying, following the time of grant of such Converted Option), each Converted Option shall continue to be governed by the same material terms and conditions, including the vesting schedule, as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time to the Company Option from which it was converted, in all cases subject to restrictions related to the issuance of shares under applicable Law. The exercise price of each Converted Option shall be equal to (x) the exercise price per share of the Company Option

from which it was converted or for which it is a substitute, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent (the “Converted Option Exercise Price”). It is the intention of the parties that each Converted Option shall qualify following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and to the extent such corresponding Company Option qualified as an incentive stock option prior to the Effective Time, and that the adjustments in this Section 1.3(a)(ii) be performed in a manner that effectuates the foregoing intention, and complies with or is exempt from Section 409A of the Code. It is the intention of the Acquirer that each Converted Option granted in exchange for an EMI Option shall be EMI Qualifying, and that the adjustments in this Section 1.3(a)(ii) be performed in a manner that effectuates the foregoing intention, as far as reasonably practicable and that the grant documentation of such Converted Options complies with Schedule 5 to ITEPA.

(B) Company Options held by Persons Other than Company Employees. At the Effective Time, each Company Option (whether vested or unvested) that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and not held by a Company Employee shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action by Acquirer, the Company, or the holder of such Company Option, be converted into (A) at the Closing, the right to receive a portion of the Closing Stock Consideration, as set forth on the Spreadsheet; plus (B) on the Holdback Release Date, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4 and Article VIII, the right to receive a portion of the Holdback Stock Consideration (representing the portion of Aggregate Stock Consideration to be withheld by Acquirer as of the Effective Time), as set forth on the Spreadsheet; plus (C) a portion of the Expense Fund Amount that becomes payable in accordance with Section 1.4(c), as set forth on the Spreadsheet; provided, however, that 50% of the shares of Acquirer Common Stock otherwise issuable to holders of Company Options who are not and have not previously been employees of the Company pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(ii)(B)(A) and Section 1.3(a)(ii)(B)(B), in each case, (rounded down to the nearest whole share) shall be paid in cash in lieu of shares of Acquirer Common Stock at a price per share of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the VWAP Average.

(C) Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, each award of Company RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, including, without limitation, an award granted in accordance with Section 5.12, that is held by a Company Employee who shall continue to be employed by the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof following the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action by Acquirer, the Company, or the holder of such award of Company RSUs, be assumed by Acquirer and converted into an award of that number of Acquirer restricted stock units, equal to the product of (A) the number of Company RSUs subject to such award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio (each, a “Converted RSU Award”, and collectively, the “Converted RSUs”); provided, that any fractional number resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Following the Effective Time, each Converted RSU Award shall continue to be governed by the same material terms and conditions, including the vesting schedule, as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time to the award of Company RSUs from which it was converted, in all cases subject to restrictions related to the issuance of shares under applicable Law. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is not a Converted RSU shall be cancelled and terminated without consideration.

(D) Corporate Action. Prior to the Effective Time, and subject to the prior review and approval of Acquirer (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to effect the transactions anticipated by this Section 1.3(a)(ii), including seeking agreement from the holders of Company Options that are EMI Options to the release of their EMI Options in exchange for the grant of Converted Options that are EMI Qualifying.

(E) Registration Statement; Notification. With respect to the Converted Options and Converted RSU Awards, Acquirer shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form), relating to the Acquirer Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of each Converted Option on or as soon as practicable following the Closing. With respect to the Converted Options that are EMI Qualifying and granted in exchange for the EMI Options, Acquirer shall notify HMRC of the grant of such Converted Options within 92 days of such grant in accordance with Applicable Law.

(F) Company Warrants. Each Company Warrant outstanding as of the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall, without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be converted at the Closing into the right to receive a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the portion of the Closing Stock Consideration, as set forth on the Spreadsheet; plus (B) on the Holdback Release Date, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4 and Article VIII, the right to receive a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the portion of the Holdback Stock Consideration (representing the portion of Aggregate Stock Consideration to be withheld by Acquirer as of the Effective Time) as set forth on the Spreadsheet; plus (C) any portion of the Expense Fund Amount that becomes payable in accordance with Section 1.4(c), as set forth on the Spreadsheet.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the aggregate number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock (including the shares of Acquirer Common Stock (a) underlying vested Converted Options and (b) issuable pursuant to option cancellation agreements, warrant cancellation agreements and note cancellation agreements, but excluding the shares of Acquirer Common Stock underlying unvested Converted Options) to be issued by Acquirer to the Company Securityholders and holders of Convertible Notes pursuant to this Agreement exceed the Aggregate Merger Consideration.

(b) Treatment of Company Capital Stock Owned by the Company. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment of any cash or other property or consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(c) Treatment of Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquirer, Merger Sub or any other Person, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). From and after the Effective Time, each certificate evidencing ownership of a number of shares of Merger Sub capital stock will evidence ownership of such number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Capital Stock occurring after the Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time, all references herein to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic

effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.

(e) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration, but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL or the CCC. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the DGCL or the CCC, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL or the CCC (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be deemed to have converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Acquirer shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 1.4(a), following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.4(a), the applicable portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares. The Company shall provide to Acquirer (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or purchase received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments related to such demands served pursuant to the DGCL or the CCC and received by the Company and (ii) the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under the DGCL or the CCC. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Acquirer, or as otherwise required under the DGCL or the CCC, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares. Subject to Section 8.2, the payout of consideration under this Agreement to the Converting Holders (other than in respect of Dissenting Shares, which shall be treated as provided in this Section 1.3(e) and under the DGCL or the CCC) shall not be affected by the exercise or potential exercise of appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights under the DGCL or the CCC by any other Company Stockholder.

(f) Rights Not Transferable. The rights of the Company Securityholders under this Agreement as of immediately prior to the Effective Time are personal to each such Company Securityholder and shall not be transferable for any reason, other than by operation of law, will or the laws of descent and distribution without action taken by or on behalf of such Company Securityholder. Any attempted transfer of such right by any holder thereof (other than as permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.

(g) No Interest; Unaccredited Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no interest shall accumulate on any consideration payable in connection with the consummation of the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Acquirer reserves the right to pay cash in lieu of shares of Acquirer Common Stock to any Company Securityholder to the extent Acquirer has not received documentation reasonably satisfactory to Acquirer of such Company Securityholder’s status as an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act.

1.4 Payment Procedures.

(a) Surrender of Certificates.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing (and in any case within one Business Day), the Holders’ Agent shall cause to be delivered to Acquirer a letter validly

executed by the Company’s transfer agent, eShares, Inc. DBA Carta, Inc. as to the cancellation (the “Carta Cancellation”) as of the Effective Time of all electronic stock certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Electronic Certificates”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, to the extent not previously delivered, Acquirer shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a letter of transmittal, together with instructions for use thereof (including any applicable attachments thereto or other documentation required thereby, the “Letter of Transmittal”), to every Converting Securityholder. The Letter of Transmittal shall specify that, solely for Company Stockholders holding physical certificates or instruments that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented issued and outstanding Company Capital Stock (the “Paper Certificates” and, together with the Electronic Certificates, the “Certificates” and each, a “Certificate”), delivery of the Paper Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon receipt thereof by Paying Agent (or, in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Paper Certificate, compliance with Section 1.4(a)(vi)), together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, duly executed on behalf of each Person effecting the surrender of such Paper Certificates.

(ii) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, Acquirer shall cause to be deposited with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company and/or any other bank or trust company as Acquirer may choose in its discretion (the “Paying Agent”) the portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration issuable to Converting Securityholderspursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) in respect of their shares of Company Capital Stock, subject to Section 1.4(b).

(iii) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of delivery to the Paying Agent of a Paper Certificate or the Carta Cancellation, as applicable, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, (A) the holder of record of such Certificate shall be entitled to be issued the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock that such holder has the right to be issued pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i)(A) in respect of such Certificate, and (B) such Certificate shall be cancelled if not already cancelled pursuant to the Carta Cancellation.

(iv) Any certificates or book-entry entitlements representing the shares of Acquirer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.3(a) shall bear the following legends to the extent applicable (along with any other legends that may be required under Applicable Law):

“(1) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO, A VALID EXEMPTION UNDER SECTION 3(A)(10) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(2) THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF REPURCHASE AND/OR INDEMNITY

OBLIGATIONS AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY.”

It is Acquirer’s current policy not to issue stock certificates representing shares of its capital stock, and all new issuances of capital stock are reflected on Acquirer’s books and records in book entry only, with appropriate notations reflecting the applicable legends.

(v) Upon receipt of written confirmation of the effectiveness of the Merger from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, Acquirer will instruct the Paying Agent to issue to each Converting Securityholder the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock issuable to such Converting Securityholder pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i)(A), other than in respect of Dissenting Shares to holders thereof, as promptly as practicable following the submission of a Paper Certificate or receipt of the Carta Cancellation (in the case of Converting Holders), as applicable, to the Paying Agent and a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal by such Converting Securityholder.

(vi) If any Paper Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such document to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Acquirer or any of its Affiliates or the Paying Agent, the execution of an indemnity agreement in such form as Acquirer, any of its Affiliates or the Paying Agent reasonably requires, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed document the applicable portion of the Closing Stockholder Consideration pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i)(A) in respect of such Person’s shares of Company Capital Stock.

(b) Holdback Stock Consideration. The Holdback Stock Consideration shall constitute partial security for the benefit of Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Converting Securityholders under Article VIII, and shall be held and distributed in accordance with Section 1.3(a)(i)(B) and Section 8.1. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the principal terms of the Merger by the Company Stockholders shall constitute, among other things, approval of the Holdback Shares Fund, the withholding of the Holdback Stock Consideration by Acquirer and the appointment of the Holders’ Agent. The Converting Holder shall be shown as the registered owner of such Holdback Stock Consideration on the books and records of Acquirer, and shall be entitled to exercise voting rights and to received dividends (if declared) with respect to such Holdback Stock Consideration (other than non-taxable stock dividends, which shall be included as part of the Holdback Stock Consideration). To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the parties hereto agree to treat the Holdback Stock Consideration that is to be released to holders of Company Capital Stock in respect of their Company Capital Stock as outstanding at the Closing and, for US federal income tax purposes, as issued in exchange for shares of Company Capital Stock, in each case, subject to the obligations of this Agreement, including the adjustment provisions of Section 1.6 and the indemnification provisions of Article VIII.

(c) Expense Fund. At the Closing, Acquirer shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Holders’ Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holders’ Agent in writing prior to Closing, the Expense Fund Amount. The Expense Fund Amount shall be used for the purposes set forth in Section 8.7. To the extent any amount becomes payable out of the Expense Fund to the Converting Securityholders pursuant to Section 8.7(d), the Holders’ Agent shall remit (or cause to be remitted) an aggregate amount equal to the remaining Expense Fund Amount for distribution to each Converting Securityholder in accordance with the Spreadsheet.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. If any portion of the Acquirer Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) is to be issued to a Person other than the Person to which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that such Certificate shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall have paid to Acquirer or any agent designated by Acquirer any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares in any name other than that of the registered holder of such Certificate, or established to the satisfaction of Acquirer or any agent designated by Acquirer that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.4, no party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

(f) Unclaimed Consideration. Each holder of a Certificate who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures set forth in and contemplated by this Section 1.4 shall look only to Acquirer (subject to abandoned property, escheat and similar Applicable Law) for its claim, only as a general unsecured creditor thereof, to any portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) in respect of such Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Certificate has not been surrendered prior to the earlier of the first anniversary of the Effective Time and such date on which the applicable portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity, any shares issuable in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of Acquirer, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

1.5 No Further Ownership Rights in the Company Capital Stock, Company Options or Company Warrants. The applicable portion of the Aggregate Stock Consideration issued or issuable or following the surrender for exchange of the Paper Certificates, or receipt of the Carta Cancellation, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement shall be issued or issuable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificates, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, such Certificate (and the underlying shares of Company Capital Stock) shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.6 Company Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Pursuant to Section 5.13, the Company shall deliver the Company Closing Financial Certificate to Acquirer not later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Within 90 days after the Closing, Acquirer may object to the calculation of Company Debt or Company Net Working Capital included in the Company Closing Financial Certificate (collectively, the “NWC Calculations”) by delivering to the Holders’ Agent a notice (the “Acquirer NWC Notice”) setting forth Acquirer’s calculation of Company Debt and Company Net Working Capital and the amount by which Company Debt or Company Net Working Capital as calculated by Acquirer is more or less than Company Debt or Company Net Working Capital as set forth in the Company Closing Financial Certificate (the “Closing Company Debt” and the “Closing Company Net Working Capital”, respectively), in each case together with supporting documentation,

information and calculations. As it pertains to the calculation of Company Net Working Capital, Acquirer shall be deemed to have accepted the calculation of Company Net Working Capital set forth on the Closing Financial Certificate unless Acquirer delivers an Acquirer NWC Notice specifying any objection thereto within 90 days after the Closing.

(c) The Holders’ Agent may object to the calculation of Company Debt or Company Net Working Capital set forth in the Acquirer NWC Notice by providing written notice of such objection to Acquirer within 30 days after Acquirer’s delivery of the Acquirer NWC Notice (the “Notice of Objection”), together with supporting documentation, information and calculations. Any matters not expressly set forth in the Notice of Objection shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Holders’ Agent on behalf of the Converting Securityholders.

(d) If the Holders’ Agent timely provides the Notice of Objection, then Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent shall confer in good faith for a period of up to 10 Business Days following Acquirer’s timely receipt of the Notice of Objection in an attempt to resolve any disputed matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, and any resolution by them shall be in writing and shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Converting Securityholders.

(e) If, after the 10 Business Day period set forth in Section 1.6(d), Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent cannot resolve any matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, then Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent shall engage a nationally recognized auditing firm not used by either Acquirer or the Company and reasonably acceptable to both Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent (the “Reviewing Accountant”) to review only the matters in the Notice of Objection that are still disputed by Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent and the NWC Calculations to the extent relevant thereto. After such review and a review of the Company’s relevant books and records, the Reviewing Accountant shall promptly (and in any event within 60 days following its engagement) determine the resolution of such remaining disputed matters, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Converting Securityholders, and the Reviewing Accountant shall provide Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent with a calculation of Company Debt and Company Net Working Capital in accordance with such determination.

(f) If the amount equal to (i) the Company Net Working Capital as of the Closing as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(b), Section 1.6(d) and/or Section 1.6(e), as the case may be (the “Final Net Working Capital”), less the Company Debt as of the Closing as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(b), Section 1.6(d) and/or Section 1.6(e), as the case may be (the “Final Company Debt”) is less than the amount equal to (ii) the Closing Company Net Working Capital, less the Closing Company Debt (such difference, the “Final Net Working Capital Shortfall”), then the Converting Securityholders shall severally but not jointly in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares indemnify and hold harmless Acquirer without any dispute by the Holders’ Agent, for the full amount of:

(i) the Final Net Working Capital Shortfall; and

(ii) all fees, costs and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant to be paid by the Converting Securityholders pursuant to Section 1.6(g)(ii) or Section 1.6(g)(iii), if any.

Any Final Net Working Capital Shortfall shall first be recovered from the Holdback Stock Consideration (based on the Average Stock Price) and, thereafter, from the Converting Securityholders in accordance with the foregoing; provided, that, the total liability of a Converting Securityholder for any Final Net Working Capital Shortfall, taken together with the aggregate liability for Indemnifiable

Damages pursuant to Article VIII, shall be limited to the cash value (based on the Average Stock Price) of the aggregate amount of shares of Acquirer Common Stock issued to such Converting Securityholder pursuant to Section 1.3(a) (assuming, for these purposes, that all shares in the Holdback Shares Fund have been released and issued to the Converting Securityholders); provided, that, any portion of such amount in excess of the Holdback Stock Consideration may be satisfied, at the election of each Converting Securityholder, in cash or shares of Acquirer Common Stock (based on the Average Stock Price), or any combination thereof.

(g) The fees, costs and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant shall be paid (i) by Acquirer in the event the difference between the Final Company Debt and Final Net Working Capital as determined by the Reviewing Accountant pursuant to Section 1.6(e) and the NWC Calculations set forth in the Acquirer NWC Notice (such difference, the “Acquirer’s Difference”) is greater than the difference between the Final Company Debt and Final Net Working Capital as determined by the Reviewing Accountant pursuant to Section 1.6(e) and the NWC Calculations set forth in the Notice of Objection (such difference, the “Holders’ Agent’s Difference”), (ii) by the Converting Securityholders if the Acquirer’s Difference is less than the Securityholders’ Agent’s Difference or (iii) equally by Acquirer on the one hand, and the Converting Securityholders on the other hand, if the Acquirer’s Difference is the same as the Holders’ Agent’s Difference.

1.7 Tax Consequences. Acquirer, Merger Sub and the Company each intend that the Merger shall constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Except as otherwise required by Law, Acquirer, Merger Sub and the Company and their respective Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment (including attaching the statement described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3(a)) on or with the U.S. federal income Tax Returns of the Company and Acquirer for the Taxable year that includes the Merger. Acquirer agrees not to voluntarily enter into any agreement to repurchase or buyback equity interests held by a Company Securityholder that would, based on facts known to Acquirer, result in the Merger failing to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, and Acquirer has not entered into any such agreement as of the date hereof (for the avoidance of doubt, any payments made pursuant to the exercise of dissenter rights shall not be limited by this sentence). Neither Acquirer nor Merger Sub has taken any action (or agreed to take any action), or is aware of any fact or circumstance within the control of Acquirer or Merger Sub and not known to or within the control of the Company, that could reasonably be excepted to prevent the Merger from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment. This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the parties hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (A) Acquirer is not making any representation or warranty or other agreement regarding the tax treatment of the Transactions except as explicitly set forth in this Section 1.7; and (B) the Company and the Company Securityholders are relying on their own tax advisors in connection with assessing the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The representations of Acquirer or Merger Sub in this Section 1.7 shall terminate as of the Closing.

1.8 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Merger, excluding any such Taxes governed by Section 1.4(d) (“Transfer Taxes”), shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Acquirer and fifty percent (50%) by the Company Securityholders. The party responsible under Applicable Law for filing any Tax Return relating to Transfer Taxes shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes that are required to be filed under

Applicable Law. The portion of Transfer Taxes to be borne by the Company Securityholders shall constitute Transaction Expenses.

1.9 Withholding Rights. Each of Acquirer, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Holders’ Agent, and their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates, and Representatives (including the Paying Agent) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments or other amounts payable in connection with the Transactions such amounts as any of such Persons are required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such payments under the Code or any other provision of Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate Tax Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Acquirer, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Holders’ Agent, and their respective Representatives (including the Paying Agent) will use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any such withholding, including by requesting any appropriate Tax forms, which forms shall include an IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate series of IRS Form W-8, as applicable, or any similar information, from the Company Securityholders, as applicable.

1.10 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and interest in, to and under, and/or possession of, all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and the Subsidiary, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized, in the name and on behalf of the Company and the Subsidiary or otherwise, to take all lawful action necessary or desirable to accomplish such purpose or acts, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

(b) Each of Acquirer, the Holders’ Agent, the Converting Securityholders and the Company shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by one another, in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns and any Legal Proceeding with respect to Taxes of or relating to the Company or the Subsidiary. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon request therefor) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Legal Proceeding, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(i) this Agreement, all personal property Taxes, real property Taxes, ad valorem Taxes and similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis that are levied with respect to a Straddle Period will be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date on a daily basis. All Taxes other than those described in the immediately preceding sentence that are attributable to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date on a “closing of the books” basis; provided that any liabilities for Taxes arising in connection with Sections 951, 951A or 952 of the Code shall be treated as Pre-Closing Taxes subject to indemnification under Article VIII to the extent such liabilities are attributable to any income, profits, gains, operations or earnings of the Subsidiary that are attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (determined by assuming for this purpose that the relevant taxable period of each relevant entity closed as of the close of business on the Closing Date).

(ii) calculating Tax items includible in the final determination of the Adjusted Purchase Price, (A) no Tax items shall be included to the extent attributable to transactions occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing undertaken at the direction of Acquirer outside the ordinary course of business (other than transactions that are contemplated by this Agreement, which transactions shall be taken into account); (B) the Transaction Deductions shall be treated as deductible in Pre-Closing Tax Periods, to the extent more likely than not deductible in such period, and (C) no Tax asset or liability shall be included more than once (the purpose of this provision being to avoid “double counting”).

(d) Prior to the Closing, the Company will cause all Tax sharing and similar agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on one hand, and any direct or indirect equityholder of the Company, on the other hand, to be terminated prior to the Closing Date, and in no event will the Company or any of its Affiliates have any obligation or liability in connection therewith after the Closing. The Tax sharing and similar agreements to be cancelled pursuant to this Section 5.14(d) are listed on Schedule I.

(e) Without the prior written consent of the Holders’ Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as otherwise required by Law or as would not give rise to any liability for which the Converting Securityholders are liable under this Agreement, Acquirer will not: (i) except for Acquirer Prepared Returns that are filed in accordance with Section 5.14(a), file or amend, or permit the Company, the Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates to file or amend, any Tax Return of the Company or the Subsidiary for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; (ii) make or change any Tax election or change any method of accounting with respect to Taxes with retroactive effect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for the Company or the Subsidiary; or (iii) initiate discussions or examinations with any Tax Authority (including any voluntary disclosure or similar Tax amnesty

program) regarding Pre-Closing Taxes unless the Company, acting in good faith, determines that such action could be expected to reduce Tax liabilities incurred by Acquirer and its Affiliates.

(f) Acquirer will give prompt written notice to the Holders’ Agent of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Legal Proceeding, with respect to any Tax Return or Tax liability of the Company or the Subsidiary that relates in whole or in part to a Pre-Closing Tax Period involving Taxes for which any Converting Securityholder would reasonably be expected to be responsible pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Tax Claim”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any delay in providing such notice shall not limit any rights of Acquirer or any other person under this Agreement, except to the extent of actual prejudice caused by such delay. Acquirer shall be entitled to control the conduct of any Tax Claim or other Tax proceeding with respect to the Company or the Subsidiary; provided that Acquirer will not, without the Holders’ Agent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), agree to any settlement for which the Converting Securityholders are responsible under Article VIII. This Section 5.14(f), and not the provisions of Section 8.5 or Section 8.8 (neither of which shall apply), shall control the conduct and settlement of any Tax Claim or other Tax proceedings with respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries.

5.15 280G Stockholder Approval. As soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall obtain and deliver to Acquirer a Parachute Payment Waiver in the form attached as Exhibit H (a “Parachute Payment Waiver”) from each “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) who has a right to any payments or benefits as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that could reasonably be deemed to constitute Section 280G Payments. Promptly following the delivery of executed Parachute Payment Waivers to Acquirer (but in no event less than three Business Days prior to the Closing), the Company shall submit to the Company Stockholders for approval (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Acquirer), by such number of Company Stockholders as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, any payments and/or benefits that would reasonably be expected to, separately or in the aggregate, constitute “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code (“Section 280G Payments”) (which determination shall be made by the Company and shall be subject to review and approval by Acquirer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), such that such payments and benefits that, in the absence of the executed Parachute Payment Waivers, might otherwise result in Section 280G Payments, shall not be deemed to be Section 280G Payments. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to soliciting the 280G Stockholder Approval pursuant to this Section 5.15, Acquirer will provide to the Company any payments and/or benefits that may be payable or provided by Acquirer or an Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof that would reasonably be expected to separately or in the aggregate constitute Section 280G Payments. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Acquirer notification and documentation reasonably satisfactory to Acquirer (and which documentation shall be subject to Acquirer’s advanced review and approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) that (a) a vote of the holders of Company Capital Stock was solicited in conformance with Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and the requisite stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the stockholder vote (the “280G Stockholder Approval”) or (b) that the 280G Stockholder Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, that such payments and/or benefits shall not be made or provided to the extent they would cause any amounts to constitute Section 280G Payments, pursuant to the Parachute Payment Waivers that were executed by the affected individuals prior to the solicitation of the vote of the holders of Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 5.15.

5.16 Indemnification of Officers and Directors of the Company and the Subsidiary.

(a) All rights to indemnification by the Company and the Subsidiary existing in favor of those Persons who are or were directors and officers of the Company or the Subsidiary as of the Agreement Date (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the governing documents of the Company and the Subsidiary in effect as of the Agreement Date, shall survive through the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified during such period, and shall be observed by the Surviving Corporation during such period to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws; provided that Acquirer’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 5.16(a) shall not apply to (i) any claim or matter that is finally determined to have resulted from an intentional breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation made by or on behalf of the Company in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or (ii) any claim for indemnification made by an Indemnified Person pursuant to Article VIII. Any claim made prior to the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time requesting indemnification pursuant to such indemnification rights shall continue to be subject to this Section 5.16 and the indemnification rights provided under this Section 5.16 until disposition of such claim.

(b) The provisions of this Section 5.16 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 5.16 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Effective Time without the prior written consent of the affected D&O Indemnified Person.

8.1 Holdback Shares Fund.

(a) At the Effective Time, pursuant to Sections 1.3(a)(i)(B) and 1.4(b), Acquirer shall withhold a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the Holdback Stock Consideration from the Aggregate Stock Consideration (such shares so held by Acquirer from time to time, the “Holdback Shares Fund”). The Holdback Shares Fund shall constitute partial security for the benefit of Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Converting Securityholders under Section 1.6(f) and this Article VIII. Subject to Section 8.4, Acquirer shall hold the Holdback Shares Fund until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the date (the “Holdback Release Date”) that is 18 months after the Effective Time. The Converting Securityholders shall not receive interest or other earnings on the shares in the Holdback Shares Fund; provided, that, the Converting Holders shall be treated as owners of the shares in the Holdback Shares Fund as of the Effective Time and shall receive all dividends or other distributions paid by Acquirer in respect of its Acquirer Common Stock. Neither the Holdback Shares Fund (including any portion thereof) nor any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, subjected to any Encumbrance, sold, assigned or transferred by any Converting Securityholder or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other Liability of any Converting Securityholder, in each case prior to the release of shares of Acquirer Common Stock from the Holdback Shares Fund to any Converting Securityholder in accordance with Section 8.1(b), except that each Converting Securityholder shall be entitled to assign such Converting Securityholder’s rights to such Converting Securityholder’s share of the of the Holdback Shares Fund as set forth on the Spreadsheet by will, by the laws of intestacy or by other operation of law. The parties agree that in no event will the right to receive any portion of the Holdback Shares Fund be evidenced by negotiable certificates of any kind, and in no event will any person take any steps to render any such right readily marketable.

(b) Within five Business Days following the Holdback Release Date, Acquirer (or its agent) will distribute to each Converting Securityholder such Converting Securityholder’s share of the Holdback Shares Fund as set forth on the Spreadsheet less that portion of the Holdback Shares Fund that is determined, in the reasonable judgment of Acquirer, to be necessary to satisfy all unsatisfied or disputed claims for indemnification specified in any Claim Certificate delivered to the Holders’ Agent on or prior to the Holdback Release Date in accordance with this Article VIII, which portion shall remain in the Holdback Shares Fund and be released as each such claim for Indemnifiable Damages is resolved or satisfied.

8.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, each Converting Securityholder shall severally but not jointly, in accordance with such Converting Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share, indemnify and hold harmless Acquirer and the Company and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees and each Person, if any, who

controls or may control Acquirer within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each Indemnified Person for, any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, claims, fees, Taxes, interest, costs and expenses, including costs of investigation, defense and enforcement and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, experts and other professionals, excluding exemplary or punitive damages, except to the extent awarded in a Third-Party Claim (collectively, “Indemnifiable Damages”), directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a Third-Party Claim, arising out of, resulting from or in connection with:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in Article II of this Agreement (as modified by the Company Disclosure Letter) (A) as of the Agreement Date (except in the case of representations and warranties that by their terms speak only as of a specified date or dates, which representations and warranties shall be accurate as of such date or dates) or (B) as of the Closing Date as though such representation or warranty were made as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and warranties that by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which representations and warranties shall be accurate as of such date or dates);

(ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Company Closing Condition Certificate;

(iii) any breach of any of the covenants, agreements or obligations (A) of the Company set forth in this Agreement to be performed by the Company at or prior to the Closing or (B) to be performed by the Holders’ Agent pursuant to this Agreement from and after the Closing;

(iv) any inaccuracies in the Spreadsheet or amounts of Company Debt or Transaction Expenses set forth in the Company Closing Financial Certificate, to the extent not addressed in the Final Net Working Capital;

(v) any payments made with respect to Dissenting Shares to the extent that such payments, in the aggregate, exceed the value of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) upon the exchange of such Dissenting Shares, and any interest and reasonable costs, expenses and fees incurred by any Indemnified Person in connection with the exercise of any dissenters’ or appraisal rights;

(vi) any claims by (A) any then-current or former holder or alleged then-current or former holder of any Equity Interests of the Company (or the Subsidiary), arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (I) the Transactions or this Agreement, including the allocation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration or any portion thereof or (II) with respect to any amount paid by Acquirer pursuant to Section 5.16, or (B) any Person to the effect that such Person is entitled to any payment in connection with the Transactions other than as specifically set forth on the Spreadsheet;

(vii) any matter set forth on Schedule 2.6 of the Company Disclosure Letter or that is or would be an exception to the representations and warranties made in Section 2.6 (Litigation) as of the Agreement Date or the Closing;

(viii) any Pre-Closing Taxes;

(ix) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company or such Converting Securityholder; and

(x) any matter set forth on Schedule J.

(b) Materiality standards or qualifications and qualifications by reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect” in any representation or warranty shall only be taken into account in determining whether an inaccuracy in such representation or warranty exists, and shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such inaccuracy or breach, it being understood that reference to the term “material” shall not be disregarded as it pertains to the representation and warranty in Section 2.5(a) or to any reference to a “Material Contract”.

8.3 Indemnifiable Damage Threshold; Other Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Indemnified Person may recover Indemnifiable Damages claimed under clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 8.2(a) (other than claims arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company or such Converting Securityholder or (ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Fundamental Representations) unless and until it has been determined in accordance with this Agreement that the Indemnified Persons have suffered Indemnifiable Damages for such matters in an aggregate amount greater than $525,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the Indemnified Person may recover (subject to the other terms of this Agreement) all of such Indemnifiable Damages (including the amount of the Basket). The Basket shall not apply to any other Indemnifiable Damages.

(b) Reclamation by Acquirer of the applicable number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock from the Holdback Shares Fund having a cash value equivalent to the amount of Indemnifiable Damages calculated by dividing the amount of Indemnifiable Damages by the Average Stock Price (for the avoidance of doubt, such reclamation shall reduce the amount of shares contained in the Holdback Shares Fund by such number), shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for the indemnity obligations of each Converting Securityholder under this Agreement for Indemnifiable Damages (and not specific performance or other equitable remedies) claimed under clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 8.2(a), except (i) in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company or such Converting Securityholder, (ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties made (A) by the Company in Sections 2.1(a) and (b) (Organization, Standing, Power and Subsidiaries), Section 2.2 (Capital Structure), Sections 2.3(a) and (b)(ii)(A) and (C) (Authority; Non-contravention), the second through eighth sentences (inclusive) of Section 2.12(c) (Employee Benefit Plans and Employee Matters) or Section 2.17 (Transaction Fees), (B) in the Company Closing Condition Certificate (collectively, the representations in clauses (A) and (B), the “Fundamental Representations”) to be accurate as aforesaid, and (iii) any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations and warranties made by the Company in Sections 2.10 (Intellectual Property) and 2.11 (Taxes).

(c) In the case of any claims for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Fundamental Representations or the representations in Sections 2.10 (Intellectual Property) and 2.11 (Taxes) or the matters listed in clauses (iii) through (x) of Section 8.2(a) (collectively, “Special Claims”), after Indemnified Persons have exhausted or made claims resulting in the reduction of all shares in the Holdback Shares Fund (after taking into account all other claims for indemnification, compensation and reimbursement from the Holdback Shares Fund made by Indemnified Persons), or following the Holdback Release Date, each Converting Securityholder shall have liability for such Converting Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the total liability of a Converting Securityholder for claims by Indemnified

Persons for Indemnifiable Damages under this Article VIII shall be limited to the cash value (based on the Average Stock Price) of the aggregate amount of shares of Acquirer Common Stock issued to such Converting Securityholder pursuant to Section 1.3(a) (assuming, for these purposes, that all shares in the Holdback Shares Fund have been released and issued to the Converting Securityholders); provided, that, such Converting Securityholder’s total liability with respect to any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2.10 (Intellectual Property) (or in the Company Closing Condition Certificate to the extent within the scope of those covered by such Section) shall be limited to such Converting Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share of $31,500,000 (inclusive of any recovery by the Indemnified Persons from the Holdback Shares Fund in respect of any such inaccuracy or breach of Section 2.10 (Intellectual Property)), and (ii) any limitation of liability in this Section 8.3(c) shall not apply in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company or such Converting Securityholder with respect to any Person who committed fraud or intentional misrepresentation or, in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company, as to which such Converting Securityholder had actual knowledge. Any claim for Indemnifiable Damages outside of the Holdback Shares Fund may be satisfied, at the election of each Converting Securityholder, in cash or shares of Acquirer Common Stock (based on the Average Stock Price), or any combination thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the amounts that an Indemnified Person recovers from the Holdback Shares Fund pursuant to Special Claims shall not reduce the amount that an Indemnified Person may recover with respect to claims that are not Special Claims. By way of illustration and not limitation, assuming there are no other claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, in the event that Indemnifiable Damages resulting from a Special Claim are first satisfied from the Holdback Shares Fund and such recovery fully depletes the Holdback Shares Fund, the maximum amount recoverable by an Indemnified Person pursuant to a subsequent claim that is not a Special Claim shall continue to be the full dollar value of the Holdback Shares Fund irrespective of the fact that the shares in the Holdback Shares Fund were used to satisfy such Special Claim, such that the amount recoverable for such two claims would be the same regardless of the chronological order in which they were made.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no Converting Securityholder shall have any right of indemnification, compensation, reimbursement, contribution or right of advancement from Acquirer, the Surviving Corporation or any other Indemnified Person (based upon such Converting Securityholder’s position as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or otherwise) with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages claimed by any Indemnified Person or any right of subrogation against the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement of an Indemnified Person by reason of any of the matters set forth in Section 8.2(a), (ii) the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Persons after the Effective Time shall not be limited by (A) any investigation by or on behalf of, or disclosure to (other than in the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 8.2(a), subject to any limitations expressly set forth therein), any Indemnified Person at or prior to the Effective Time regarding any inaccuracy, breach or other event or circumstance or (B) any waiver of any condition to the Closing related thereto, (iii) if an Indemnified Person’s claim under this Article VIII may be properly characterized in multiple ways in accordance with this Article VIII such that such claim may or may not be subject to different limitations depending on such characterization, then such Indemnified Person shall have the right to characterize such claim in a manner that maximizes the recovery and time to assert such claim permitted in accordance with this Article VIII and (iv) no Converting Securityholder shall be liable for the fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf

of any Person other than the Company or such Converting Securityholder; provided that nothing herein shall limit the liability of a Converting Securityholder for any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company or such Converting Securityholder with respect to any Person who committed fraud or intentional misrepresentation or, in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company, as to which such Converting Securityholder had actual knowledge. Acquirer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Indemnifiable Damages upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

(f) All Indemnifiable Damages shall be calculated net of the amount of any recoveries actually received by an Indemnified Person prior to the Holdback Release Date under any existing insurance policies and contractual indemnification or contribution provisions (in each case, calculated net of any actual collection costs and reserves, expenses, Taxes, deductibles or premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums (as determined in good faith by an Indemnified Person) incurred or paid to procure such recoveries) in respect of any Indemnifiable Damages suffered, paid, sustained or incurred by any Indemnified Person; provided that no Indemnified Person shall have any obligation to seek to obtain or continue to pursue any such recoveries.

8.4 Period for Claims. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.4, the period (the “Claims Period”) during which claims may be made (i) for Indemnifiable Damages claimed under clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 8.2(a) (other than with respect to any of the Fundamental Representations and the representations in Sections 2.10 (Intellectual Property) and 2.11 (Taxes)) shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the Holdback Release Date and (ii) for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with all other matters, including Special Claims, shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the date that is (A) in the case of claims for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (I) the inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2.11 (Taxes) or (II) Pre-Closing Taxes, in each case, 30 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (B) in all other cases, 30 days following the expiration of the longest applicable statute of limitations; provided that the Claims Period for any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.10 (Intellectual Property) shall commence at the Closing and terminate upon the date that is 30 days after the date that is 24 months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) such portion of the shares in the Holdback Shares Fund as in the reasonable judgment of Acquirer may be necessary to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Indemnifiable Damages specified in any Claim Certificate delivered to the Holders’ Agent on or prior to the Holdback Release Date shall remain in the Holdback Shares Fund and released as each such claim for Indemnifiable Damages is resolved or satisfied and (ii) the Claims Period for claims for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with fraud or intentional misrepresentation shall not be limited.

8.5 Claims.

(a) From time to time during the Claims Period, Acquirer may seek recovery for Indemnifiable Damages by delivering to the Holders’ Agent one or more certificates signed by any officer of Acquirer (each, a “Claim Certificate”):

(i) stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, or in good faith believes that it may incur, pay, reserve or accrue, Indemnifiable Damages (or

that with respect to any Tax matters that could give rise to Indemnifiable Damages, that any Tax Authority may raise such matter in an audit of Acquirer or its subsidiaries);

(ii) stating the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages (which, in the case of Indemnifiable Damages not yet incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, may be the maximum amount believed by Acquirer in good faith to be incurred, paid, reserved, accrued or demanded by a third party); and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Acquirer) the individual items of such Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related.

(b) Such Claim Certificate (i) need only specify such information to the knowledge of such officer of Acquirer as of the date thereof, (ii) shall not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Person with respect to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such Claim Certificate and (iii) may be updated and amended from time to time by Acquirer by delivering any updated or amended Claim Certificate, so long as the delivery of the original Claim Certificate is made within the applicable Claims Period; provided that each claim for Indemnifiable Damages properly set forth in a Claim Certificate or any update or amendment thereto shall remain outstanding until such claim has been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. No delay in providing such Claim Certificate within the applicable Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Holders’ Agent or the Converting Securityholders are prejudiced thereby.

8.6 Resolution of Objections to Claims.

(a) If the Holders’ Agent does not contest, by written notice to Acquirer, any claim or claims by Acquirer made in any Claim Certificate within the 30-day period following receipt of the Claim Certificate, then Acquirer shall reclaim a number of shares from the Holdback Shares Fund having a total cash value (based on Average Stock Price) equal to the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Certificate.

(b) If the Holders’ Agent objects in writing to any claim or claims by Acquirer made in any Claim Certificate within the 30-day period set forth in Section 8.6(a), Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent shall attempt in good faith for 60 days after Acquirer’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. If Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent shall so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent. Acquirer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such memorandum and Acquirer shall reclaim a number of shares from the Holdback Shares Fund in accordance with the terms of such memorandum.

(c) If no such agreement can be reached during the 60-day period for good faith negotiation set forth in Section 8.6(b), but in any event upon the expiration of such 60-day period, either Acquirer or the Holders’ Agent may bring an arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 9.11 to resolve the matter. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate shall be non-appealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto and the Converting Securityholders, and Acquirer shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and Acquirer shall reclaim a number of shares from the Holdback Shares Fund having a cash value equal to the amount of Indemnifiable Damages determined by such arbitrator.

(d) Judgment upon any determination of an arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For purposes of this Section 8.6(d), in any suit hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in the Claim Certificate is at issue, Acquirer shall be deemed to be the prevailing party unless the arbitrator determines in favor of the Holders’ Agent (on behalf of the Converting Securityholders) with respect to more than one-half of the amount in dispute, in which case the Converting Securityholders shall be deemed to be the prevailing party. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the prevailing party, including attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred in connection with such suit.

(e) Any portion of the shares in the Holdback Shares Fund held following the Holdback Release Date with respect to each pending but unresolved claim for indemnification that is not awarded to Acquirer upon the resolution of such claim (subject to the resolution of any other unresolved and pending claims for indemnification for which recovery may be made against such shares) shall be issued to the Converting Securityholders within five Business Days following resolution of any such claims and in accordance with each such Converting Securityholder’s share of such portion of the shares in the Holdback Shares Fund as set forth on the Spreadsheet.

8.7 Holders’ Agent.

(a) At the Closing, Fortis Advisors LLC shall be constituted and appointed as the Holders’ Agent. The Holders’ Agent shall be the exclusive agent and attorney in fact for and on behalf of the Converting Securityholders to: (i) execute, as the Holders’ Agent, this Agreement and any agreement or instrument entered into or delivered in connection with the Transactions, (ii) give and receive notices, instructions and communications permitted or required under this Agreement, or any other agreement, document or instrument entered into or executed in connection herewith, for and on behalf of any Converting Securityholder, to or from Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions and any other matters contemplated by this Agreement or by such other agreement, document or instrument (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by each Converting Securityholder individually), (iii) review, negotiate and agree to and authorize Acquirer to reclaim a number of shares from the Holdback Shares Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person, including by not objecting to such claims) pursuant to this Article VIII, (iv) object to such claims pursuant to Section 8.6, (v) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, contest, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with Orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, such claims, resolve any such claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the Transactions by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Converting Securityholder or necessary in the judgment of the Holders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, (vi) consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Converting Securityholders, (vii) consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement or to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Converting Securityholders (other than with respect to the issuance of the Closing Stockholder Consideration) in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein, (viii) pursuant to Section 1.6, review, negotiate, object to, accept or agree to Acquirer’s calculation of Company Net Working Capital and (ix) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Holders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any

Person under any circumstance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders’ Agent shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Converting Securityholders, except as expressly provided herein and in the Holders’ Agent Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Holders’ Agent in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Company Disclosure Schedule. Acquirer, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates (including after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) shall be entitled to rely on the appointment of Fortis Advisors LLC as the Holders’ Agent and treat such Holders’ Agent as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact and exclusive agent of each Converting Securityholder and has having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Section 8.7. The Converting Securityholders, and such Converting Securityholder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Converting Securityholder, shall be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Holders’ Agent in connection with this Article VIII, and all defenses which may be available to any Converting Securityholder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Holders’ Agent taken in good faith under this Agreement or the Holders’ Agent Engagement Agreement are waived. Acquirer and other Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to rely exclusively on any action or decision of the Holders’ Agent. The Person serving as the Holders’ Agent may be removed or replaced from time to time, or if such Person resigns from its position as the Holders’ Agent, then a successor may be appointed, by the holders of a majority in interest of the then outstanding number of shares in the Holdback Shares Fund (or, in the event that the Converting Securityholders collectively having a Pro Rata Share greater than 50% are not entitled to be issued any shares in the Holdback Shares Fund) upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Acquirer. No bond shall be required of the Holders’ Agent. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Holders’ Agent or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Certain Converting Securityholders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Holders’ Agent Engagement Agreement”) with the Holders’ Agent to provide direction to the Holders’ Agent in connection with its services under this Agreement and the Holders’ Agent Engagement Agreement (such Converting Securityholders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Holders’ Agent nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Holders’ Agent Group”) shall be liable to any Converting Securityholder for any act done or omitted hereunder or under the Holders’ Agent Engagement Agreement, as the Holders’ Agent while acting in good faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith) and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Converting Securityholders shall severally but not jointly, in accordance with such Converting Securityholder’s Pro Rata Share, in an amount not to exceed the cash value (based on the Average Stock Price) of the aggregate amount of shares of Acquirer Common Stock issued to such Converting Securityholder pursuant to Section 1.3(a), indemnify and defend the Holders’ Agent Group and hold it harmless against any loss, Liability, claim, damage, fee, cost, judgment, fine, amount paid in settlement or expense (including fees, disbursements and costs of skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers) incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Holders’ Agent and arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder or under the Holders’ Agent Engagement Agreement, including all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Holders’ Agent (collectively, the “Holders’ Agent Expenses”). If not paid directly to the Holders’ Agent by the Converting Securityholders, such Holders’ Agent Expenses may be recovered by the Holders’ Agent first, from the Expense Fund, and second, from the portion of the shares in the Holdback Shares Fund otherwise

distributable to the Converting Securityholders (and not reclaimed or reclaimable by Acquirer in respect of a claim by Acquirer or other Indemnified Person, or subject to a pending indemnification claim of an Indemnified Person) on or after the Holdback Release Date pursuant to the terms hereof, at the time of distribution, and such recovery will be made from the Converting Securityholders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Holders’ Agent Expenses. The Converting Securityholders acknowledge that the Holders’ Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement or the Holders’ Agent Engagement Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Holders’ Agent shall not be required to take any action unless the Holders’ Agent has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Holders’ Agent against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Holders’ Agent in performing such actions.

(c) After the Closing, any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Holders’ Agent that is within the scope of the Holders’ Agent’s authority under Section 8.7(a) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Converting Securityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Converting Securityholder and such Converting Securityholder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Converting Securityholder; and each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Converting Securityholder. Acquirer, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Persons are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Holders’ Agent. The Holders’ Agent shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Spreadsheet, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Converting Securityholder or other party. The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Holders’ Agent Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Converting Securityholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Converting Securityholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Holdback Shares Fund.

(d) The Expense Fund Amount shall be held by the Holders’ Agent in a segregated client account and shall be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Holders’ Agent for any Holders’ Agent Expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement or the Holders’ Agent Engagement Agreement, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group (the “Expense Fund”). The Holders’ Agent is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Converting Securityholder on the Closing Date and any amounts required to be withheld with respect to the deemed payment to a Converting Securityholder of its portion of the Expense Fund on the Closing Date shall reduce the other payments to such Person at

Closing and shall not reduce the Expense Fund. The Converting Securityholders will not receive any interest on the Expense Fund and assign to the Holders’ Agent any such interest. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Holders’ Agent may contribute funds to the Expense Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Converting Securityholders. As soon as reasonably determined by the Holders’ Agent that the Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Holders’ Agent shall cause the remaining Expense Fund (if any) to be distributed to the Converting Securityholders.

8.8 Third-Party Claims. In the event Acquirer becomes aware of a claim by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that Acquirer in good faith believes may result in a claim for Indemnifiable Damages by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Acquirer shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve such Third-Party Claim. The Holders’ Agent shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person, subject to execution by the Holders’ Agent of Acquirer’s (and, if required, such third party’s) standard non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such materials contain confidential or propriety information. However, Acquirer shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine and conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claim and the settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Third-Party Claim. Unless otherwise consented to in writing in advance by Acquirer in its sole discretion, the Holders’ Agent and its Affiliates may not participate in any Third-Party Claim or any action related to such Third-Party Claim (including any discussions or negotiations in connection with the settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof). In the event that the Holders’ Agent has consented to the amount of any settlement or resolution by Acquirer of any such claim (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to have been given unless the Holders’ Agent shall have objected within 30 days after a written request therefor by Acquirer), or if the Holders’ Agent shall have been determined to have unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent to the amount of any such settlement or resolution, neither the Holders’ Agent nor any Converting Securityholder shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, have any power or authority to object under this Article VIII to the amount of any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person against the Holdback Shares Fund for indemnity with respect to such settlement or resolution, it being understood that, without the consent of the Holders’ Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), such settlement or resolution by Acquirer shall not be dispositive of the existence of an indemnifiable claim or the amount of Indemnifiable Damages.

8.9 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Acquirer, the Holders’ Agent and the Converting Securityholders agree to treat (and cause their respective Affiliates to treat) any payment or delivery of consideration (including from the Holdback Shares Fund) in respect of a claim by an Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 1.6 or this Article VIII as adjustments to the Adjusted Purchase Price for all Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

9.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made herein to Articles, Sections, subsections, Schedules or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article, Section or subsection of, or a Schedule or an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Where a reference is made to a Contract, instrument or Applicable Law, such reference is to such Contract, instrument or Applicable Law as amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of Contracts or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of Applicable Law) by succession of comparable successor Applicable Law and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender include each other gender and neutral forms of such words, (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, (iv) references to clauses without a cross-reference to a Section or subsection are references to clauses within the same Section or, if more specific, subsection, (v) references to a series of clauses are inclusive of the endpoint clauses (e.g., “clause (x) through (y)” is inclusive of clauses (x) and (y)), (vi) references to any Person include the predecessors, successors and permitted assigns of that Person, (vii) references from or through any date shall mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively, (viii) subject to clause (ix), the phrases “provide to,” “made available” and “deliver to” and phrases of similar import mean that an accurate and complete paper or electronic copy of the information or material referred to has been delivered to the party to whom such information or material is to be provided and (ix) the phrases “provided to Acquirer” or “made available to Acquirer” and phrases of similar import means, with respect to any information, document or other material of the Company or its Affiliates, that such information, document or material was made available for review in the virtual data rooms established by the Company in connection with this Agreement at least 24 hours prior to the execution of this Agreement or actually delivered (whether by physical or electronic delivery) to Acquirer or its Representatives at least 24 hours prior to the execution of this Agreement. The symbol “$” refers to United States Dollars. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” All references to “days” shall be to calendar days unless otherwise indicated as a “Business Day.” Any action otherwise required to be taken on a day that is not a Business Day shall instead be required to be taken on the next succeeding Business Day, and if the last day of a time period is a non-Business Day, such period shall be deemed to end on the next succeeding Business Day. Unless indicated otherwise, all mathematical calculations contemplated by this Agreement shall be rounded to the tenth decimal place, except in respect of payments, which shall be rounded to the nearest whole United States cent.

9.4 Amendment. Subject to Applicable Law, the parties hereto may amend this Agreement by authorized action at any time prior to the Closing pursuant to an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto; provided that after the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that by Applicable Law requires further approval by the Company Stockholders without such further approval. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent may cause this Agreement to be amended at any time after the Closing by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent.

9.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time at or prior to the Closing, any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto owed to such party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained in this Agreement and (c) waive any breaches of any of the covenants, agreements, obligations or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. At any time after the Closing, Acquirer and the Holders’ Agent may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other owed to such party or (ii) waive any breaches of any of the covenants, agreements, obligations or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing that is (A) prior to the Closing, with respect to the Company, signed by the Company, (B) after the Closing, with respect to the Holders’ Agent, signed by the Holders’ Agent, and (C) with respect to Acquirer and/or Merger Sub, signed by Acquirer. Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding sentence, no failure to exercise or enforce or delay in exercising or enforcing any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision herein.

9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto; it being understood and agreed that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. The delivery by electronic delivery in PDF format (including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) of this Agreement with all executed signature pages (in counterparts or otherwise) shall be sufficient to bind the parties hereto to the terms and conditions set forth herein. All of the counterparts will together constitute one and the same instrument and each counterpart will constitute an original of this Agreement.

9.7 Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including all the exhibits attached hereto, the Schedules, including the Company Disclosure Letter, (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in accordance with its terms and (b) except as set forth in Section 5.16, are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder (except that Article VIII is intended to benefit the Indemnified Persons).

9.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment or delegation without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Acquirer and/or Merger Sub may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer without the prior consent of any other party hereto; provided that notwithstanding any such assignment or delegation, Acquirer and/or Merger Sub, as applicable, shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

9.9 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be interpreted so as reasonably necessary to effect the intent of the parties hereto.
