NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub hereby agree as follows:

(b) The parties hereto shall take all requisite action so that, from and after the Effective Time, the officers of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Prior to the Merger Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause (x) each director of the Company and, (y) if so requested by Parent, each officer of the Company and each officer and director of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries to execute and deliver a letter effectuating his or her resignation as an officer or as a member of the board of directors of the Company or applicable Subsidiary, respectively, to be effective as of immediately prior to, and contingent upon the occurrence of, the Effective Time.

ARTICLE II

Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock; Exchange of Certificates;

Equity-Based Awards

Section 2.01. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any holder of any securities of Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation upon consummation of the Merger.

(b) Cancelation of Certain Shares of Capital Stock. Each issued share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company as a treasury share as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock held by Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

4

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01.b) and (ii) Appraisal Shares, which shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.07) shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to any applicable withholding Taxes. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Share Certificate”) or uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form (each, a “Book-Entry Share”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor.

Section 2.02. Exchange Matters. (a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the aggregate Merger Consideration to which holders of such shares of Company Common Stock shall become entitled to receive in accordance with this Article II and, in connection therewith, prior to the Effective Time shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. On or prior to the Merger Closing Date, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent an amount in cash sufficient to make payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Payment Fund”). For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not be required to deposit any funds related to the CVR with the Rights Agent unless and until such deposit is required pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement. Pending its disbursement in accordance with this Section 2.02, the Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America (“U.S.”), (ii) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the U.S. is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, (iii) short-term commercial paper rated the highest quality by either ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services or (iv) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and paid to, Parent or its designated Affiliate. In the event the Payment Fund shall be insufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount that is equal to the shortfall that is required to make such payment. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to pay the Merger Consideration in accordance herewith, except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement. No investment losses resulting from investment of the funds deposited with the Paying Agent shall diminish the rights of any holder of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration as provided herein.

(b) Payment Procedures.

5

(i) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event more than five Business Days thereafter), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to deliver to each Person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of a Share Certificate or Book-Entry Shares not held, directly or indirectly, through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) (other than a Share Certificate representing (i) shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01.b) or (ii) Appraisal Shares, which shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.07) (x) a letter of transmittal, which shall be in reasonable and customary form (and which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Share Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Share Certificates (or affidavits in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.02.d)) to the Paying Agent or, in the case of such Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal) and (y) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Share Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent, as applicable, in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01.c).

(ii) Upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with such letter’s instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent), and either (A) surrender to the Paying Agent of Share Certificates (or affidavits in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.02.d)) or (B) transfer of Book-Entry Shares not held through DTC, by book receipt of an “agent’s message” in customary form by the Paying Agent in connection with the surrender of Book-Entry Shares (or such other reasonable evidence, if any, of surrender with respect to such Book-Entry Shares as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), in each case as contemplated in subsection (i) of this Section 2.02.b), the holder of such Share Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Share Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and the Share Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of any Share Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the benefit of the holder thereof. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Share Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II.

(iii) The Persons who were, immediately prior to the Effective Time, holders of Book-Entry Shares (other than (i) shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01.b) or (ii) Appraisal Shares, which shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.07) held, directly or indirectly, through DTC shall not be required to deliver a Share Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.02. With respect to such Book-Entry Shares held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary third-party intermediaries to ensure that the Paying Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as promptly as practicable after

6

the Effective Time, upon surrender of Book-Entry Shares held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed by Parent, the Company, the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary third-party intermediaries, the aggregate Merger Consideration to which the beneficial owners thereof are entitled to receive as a result of the Merger pursuant to this Section 2.02.

(iv) If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Share Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Share Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent and Parent that any applicable stock transfer or similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. None of Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall have any liability for the transfer and other similar Taxes described in the immediately preceding sentence under any circumstance. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Persons in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered in the stock transfer records of the Company.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all ownership rights in such common stock and at the Effective Time, the transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02.e), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Share Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Share Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Share Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to this Agreement) in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Share Certificate as contemplated by this Article II, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

7

(e) Termination of Payment Fund. At any time following the first anniversary of the Merger Closing Date, Parent shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Payment Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) which has not been disbursed to holders of Share Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders who have not heretofore complied with this Article II shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Law) as general creditors thereof with respect to payment of their claims for the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable state, federal or other abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Share Certificate has not been surrendered prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Share Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any Merger Consideration in respect of such Share Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such date, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, subject to the claims of any holder of Company Common Stock entitled to payment of Merger Consideration who has not heretofore complied with this Article II.

(g) Withholding. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Rights Agent, the Paying Agent and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the CVR Agreement (including any Milestone Payment in respect of the CVR) such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld under applicable Tax Law (including with respect to any amounts treated as interest under Section 483 of the Code). Except with respect to compensatory amounts, if any of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Rights Agent, the Paying Agent or their respective Affiliates determines that it is required to deduct and withhold any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement, then it shall reasonably cooperate with the Company to obtain any affidavits, certificates and other documents as may reasonably be expected to afford to the Company and its stockholders reduction of, or relief from, such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the relevant Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

8

Section 2.03. Treatment of Equity-Based Awards. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any duly authorized committee thereof administering the Equity Plans) shall adopt such resolutions and take such other actions as may be required (under the Equity Plans and the applicable award agreements, applicable Law or otherwise) to (i) effect the treatment of the Equity-Based Awards pursuant to Section 2.03.a)-(c) (including amending the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Stock Option and Award Plan to permit the treatment of such holder’s Company Stock Options pursuant to Section 2.03.b)), (ii) terminate the Equity Plans, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) ensure that, on and following the Effective Time, no holder of any Equity-Based Awards shall have any rights to receive any payments, benefits, or property (including the right to acquire or receive any equity interest in Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates) in respect thereof, other than as set forth in this Agreement.

(a) Each restricted stock unit with respect to Company Common Stock subject solely to time-based vesting conditions (each, a “Company RSU”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, vest and be canceled, and the holder thereof shall then become entitled to receive solely, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the Cash Amount, and (ii) one CVR issued pursuant to and in accordance with the CVR Agreement.

(b) Each restricted stock unit with respect to Company Common Stock that was granted subject to both performance-based and time-based vesting conditions (each, a “Company PSU”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, vest and be canceled, and the holder thereof shall then become entitled to receive solely, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (with the number of shares subject to such Company PSU determined as provided on Section 2.03(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, (i) the Cash Amount, and (ii) one CVR issued pursuant to and in accordance with the CVR Agreement.

(c) Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock other than options granted pursuant to the Company ESPP (each, a “Company Stock Option”) outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, vest and be canceled, and the holder thereof shall then become entitled to receive solely, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, for each share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Stock Option, (i) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of the Cash Amount over the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option, and (ii) one CVR issued pursuant to and in accordance with the CVR Agreement; provided, however, that any such Company Stock Option with a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the sum of the Cash Amount and the maximum Milestone Payment shall be canceled as of the Effective Time for no consideration; provided, further, however, that any such Company Stock Option with a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Cash Amount but less than the sum of the Cash Amount and the maximum Milestone Payment shall be cancelled (and the holder shall not be entitled to any payment of the Cash Amount at the Effective Time) and converted into the right to receive solely, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto for each share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Stock Option, one CVR issued pursuant to and in accordance with the CVR Agreement.

9

Section 2.04. Payments with Respect to Equity-Based Awards. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) any payments in respect of the Cash Amount payable pursuant to Section 2.03.a)-(c) shall be paid as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in any event, no later than the first regularly-scheduled payroll date that occurs more than five Business Days after the Effective Time) by (or caused to be paid by) the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries through an applicable payroll system, less applicable Tax withholdings and other required deductions, to the holders of the Equity-Based Awards (or such other method as the Company typically utilizes for such payments), and (b) any payments in respect of the Milestone Payment for each CVR issued to holders of Equity-Based Awards shall be paid, less applicable Tax withholdings and other required deductions, in accordance with the CVR Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent any such payment would cause an impermissible acceleration event under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), such amounts shall instead be paid at the earliest time such payment would not cause or reasonably be expected to cause an impermissible acceleration event under Section 409A.

Section 2.05. Treatment of Company ESPP. In connection with execution of this Agreement or as soon as reasonably practicable following thereafter, the Company shall take all actions required pursuant to the terms of the Company ESPP or otherwise (including, as the case may be, amending the Company ESPP) to (i) ensure that no new “offering period” or “purchase period” (as such terms are defined in the Company ESPP) shall be commenced under the Company ESPP after the date of this Agreement, (ii) provide that no new participants may elect to participate in the Company ESPP after the date of this Agreement, (iii) provide that no participant may increase their payroll deductions as of the date of this Agreement and (iv) if the Effective Time shall occur prior to the end of any offering period in existence under the Company ESPP as of the Effective Time, the Company shall take all reasonable actions required to (A) cause a new exercise date to be set under the Company ESPP, which date shall be no later than ten Business Days prior to the Effective Time, for the automatic exercise of such options on such date, (B) provide that the amount of the accumulated contributions of each participant under the Company ESPP shall, to the extent not used to purchase Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company ESPP (as amended pursuant to this Section 2.05), be refunded to such participant as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (but no later than the first regularly-scheduled payroll date that occurs more than five Business Days after the Effective Time).

Section 2.06. Adjustments. If during the time period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the occurrence or record date of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into shares of Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change, then the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Article II shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into shares of Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.06 shall be construed to permit or require the Company to take any action with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.07. Appraisal Rights. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who (i) has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented to it in writing and (ii) is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal rights with respect to such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, all provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL concerning the rights of Persons holding shares of Company Common Stock to demand appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger (such shares, “Appraisal Shares” and such section of the DGCL, “Section 262”) (until such time as such Person fails to perfect, effectively withdraws, waives or otherwise loses such Person’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to his or her Appraisal Shares, at which time such shares shall cease to be Appraisal Shares, as applicable) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01.c), unless and until such Person shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn, waived or otherwise lost such Person’s right to appraisal under the DGCL, but instead and in lieu thereof the Persons holding Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to receive only those rights and payments provided to Persons holding Appraisal Shares under Section 262 with respect to the Appraisal Shares. From and after the Effective Time, all Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled and cease to exist, and each Person holding Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the Effective Time, any such Person holding Appraisal Shares shall have failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn, waived or otherwise lost the right to appraisal under Section 262, or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Person is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock, then the right of such Person to receive those rights under Section 262 and to be paid the fair value of such Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been cancelled and converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01.c), without interest thereon and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, and shall not thereafter be deemed to be Appraisal Shares.

11

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any written demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of any such demand and any other documents or instruments served pursuant to applicable Law and received by the Company relating to rights of appraisal in accordance with Section 262, and Parent shall have the right to direct and participate in all negotiations and Actions with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, settle or offer to settle, approve any withdrawal, or make any payment or deliver any consideration with respect to, or settle or compromise, any such demands or notices of dissent, or approve of any withdrawal of any such demands, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer relating to the shares of Company Common Stock by a Person unaffiliated with Parent, fail to publicly reaffirm (including in any statement under Rule 14d-9(f) or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Company Board Recommendation (or refer to the prior Company Board Recommendation) and recommend that the Company’s stockholders reject such tender offer or exchange offer within ten Business Days after the commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer (or, if earlier, by the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the then-scheduled Company Stockholders Meeting); (any action described in this clause (i), being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or publicly propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, or cause or allow the Company to execute or enter into (or cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into) any Contract, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement providing for, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”) or would reasonably be expected to cause, the Company to abandon, terminate, delay or fail to consummate, or that would otherwise materially impede, interfere with or be inconsistent with, the Transactions (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, after the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, but not after, the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof), may (I) make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (II) with respect to a Takeover Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.02, cause the Company to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Takeover Proposal and terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01.d)ii), in either case, if and only if the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that (x) in the case of clause (I) where the Adverse Recommendation Change is not made in response to a Takeover Proposal, such Adverse Recommendation Change is made in response to an Intervening Event, and failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (y) in the case of (A) clause (I) where such Adverse Recommendation Change is made in response to a Takeover Proposal or (B) clause (II), such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, take any action set forth in clause (II) or, in the event such action is proposed to be taken in connection with an Intervening Event or a Superior Proposal, take any action set forth in clause (I) unless (1) the Company has given Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action (which notice shall state that the Company has received a written Takeover Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, specify the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such Superior Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof or, if in response to an Intervening Event, shall have specified in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances describing the Intervening Event and the rationale for the Adverse Recommendation Change, and shall state that the Company Board has determined to make an Adverse Recommendation Change) (each such notice, a “Determination

57

Notice”), (2) prior to making such an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, as applicable, the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such notice period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to propose in writing a binding offer to effect revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or make another proposal such that it would cause such Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal or, if any Intervening Event, to effect revisions to this Agreement or make another proposal so that the Adverse Recommendation Change would no longer be necessary and (3) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) shall have considered in good faith such binding offer, and shall, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, have determined that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed in such binding offer were to be given effect or, if the Determination Notice related to an Intervening Event, taking into account any revised terms committed to in writing by Parent, that failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the director’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood that foregoing provisions shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances specified by the Company in a Determination Notice and require a new Determination Notice; provided that for the purposes of such subsequent notice, all references to “four Business Days” shall be deemed to be “three Business Days”); and provided further that any purported termination of this Agreement pursuant to this sentence shall be void and of no force and effect unless the termination is in accordance with Article VII and, to the extent required under the terms of this Agreement, the Company pays or causes to be paid to Parent the applicable Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.03 (to the extent due and payable thereunder) prior to or concurrently with such termination so long as Parent has provided the Company with wire instructions for such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement before this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with its terms.

(e) Nothing in this Section 5.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) from (i) issuing any “stop, look and listen” or similar communication by or on behalf of the Company to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (iii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company that is required by applicable Law or if the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board or any duly authorized committee thereof to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that the Company Board shall not effect an Adverse Recommendation Change except in accordance with Section 5.02.d).

58

(f) As used in this Agreement, “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means (x) any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company from and after the date of this Agreement that contains (i) provisions that are not less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, except that such confidentiality agreement need not include explicit or implicit standstill provisions or otherwise restrict the making of or amendment or modification to Takeover Proposals and (ii) does not prohibit the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 5.02 or otherwise prohibit the Company from complying with its obligations under this Section 5.02, or (y) any confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement.

(g) As used in this Agreement, “Takeover Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person or group (other than Guarantor and Parent and their Subsidiaries), including any amendment or modification to any existing proposal or offer, relating to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, any direct or indirect (i) acquisition or license of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (based on the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof)), including through the acquisition of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company owning such assets, (ii) issuance or acquisition of securities representing 20% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding Company Common Stock or 20% of more of the any class of equity securities of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% of more of any the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (iii) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or group beneficially owning securities representing 20% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding Company Common Stock or 20% or more of any class of equity securities of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or (iv) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company pursuant to which such Person or group (or the stockholders of any Person) would acquire, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (based on the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof)) or securities representing 20% or more of the aggregate voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities or of the surviving entity in a merger, consolidation, share exchange or other business combination involving the Company or the resulting direct or indirect parent of the Company or such surviving entity or 20% or more of any class of equity securities of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, other than the Transactions; provided, however, that this Agreement and the Transactions shall not be deemed a Takeover Proposal.

59

(h) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Takeover Proposal made after the date hereof that the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, (i) would, if consummated, be more favorable to the stockholders of the Company (solely in their capacity as such) than the Transactions from a financial point of view (including after giving effect to proposals, if any, made by Parent pursuant to Section 5.02.d)) and (ii) is reasonably likely to be completed in accordance with its terms, taking into account all legal, regulatory, financial, financing and other aspects of such proposal that the Company Board deems relevant, the Person making the proposal and the terms of this Agreement; provided that, for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the references to “20%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

Section 5.03. Reserved.

Section 5.04. Efforts. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall cooperate with the other parties and use, and shall cause its Affiliates to use, reasonable best efforts (unless, with respect to any action, another standard of performance is expressly provided for herein) to as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event, prior to the Outside Date, (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with the other parties hereto in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to cause the conditions to Merger Closing to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable and to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner reasonably practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary, proper and advisable filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, declarations, submissions of information, applications, reports and other documents, (ii) obtain all approvals, consents, registrations, waivers, permits, authorizations, exemptions, clearances, orders and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions, (iii) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and (iv) defend or contest in good faith any Action brought by any Governmental Authority or a third party or any Judgment that could otherwise prevent or impede, interfere with, hinder or delay in any material respect the consummation of the Transactions.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall each use, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use, reasonable best efforts to (i) take all action necessary to ensure that no Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to any of the Transactions and refrain from taking any actions that would cause the applicability of such Laws and (ii) if the restrictions of any Takeover Law become applicable to any of the Transactions, take all action necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise lawfully minimize the effect of such Takeover Law on the Transactions.

60

(c) Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate and coordinate the overall development of the positions to be taken and the regulatory actions to be requested in any filing or submission with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry or litigation by or before, or any negotiations with, any Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions and of all other regulatory matters incidental thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.04, Parent shall be entitled to direct, devise and implement the strategy and defense of the Transactions in any action by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Authority or other Person relating to the Transactions or regulatory filings, and shall lead all communications with any Governmental Authority.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent, Merger Sub and Company agree to make, and to cause its Affiliates to make, (x) an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement (and, in any event, within ten days following the date hereof); provided that if the date of this Agreement is after or within ten days of the effective date of the changes in the applicable regulations under the HSR Act published in the Federal Register on November 12, 2024, the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to file the Notification and Report Forms required by the HSR Act as promptly as practicable thereafter and (y) appropriate filings with the Governmental Authorities set forth on Section 5.04(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter within fifteen days of the date hereof, to supply, and to cause its Affiliates to use reasonable best efforts to supply, as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law or Foreign Investment Laws and to use reasonable best efforts to promptly take, and to cause its Affiliates to take, any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all consents under any Laws that may be required by any foreign or U.S. federal, state or local Governmental Authority, in each case with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly take, and cause their respective Affiliates to take, all actions necessary to secure the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law or Foreign Investment Laws and resolve any objections asserted with respect to the Transactions under the Federal Trade Commission Act or any other applicable Law raised by any Governmental Authority, in order to prevent the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned, any Restraint that would prevent, prohibit, restrict or delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) (A) executing settlements, undertakings, consent decrees, stipulations or other agreements with any Governmental Authority or with any other Person, (B) agreeing to sell, divest or otherwise convey or hold separate any particular assets or categories of assets or businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries contemporaneously with or subsequent to the Effective Time, (C) permitting the Company to sell, divest or otherwise convey or hold separate any of the particular assets or categories of assets or businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, (D) terminating existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of (x) the Company or its Affiliates or (y) Guarantor, Parent, their Subsidiaries or any their respective Affiliates, (E) creating any relationship, contractual right or obligation of (x) the Company or its Affiliates or (y) Guarantor, Parent, their Subsidiaries or any of their

61

respective Affiliates or (F) effectuating any other change or restructuring of (x) the Company or its Affiliates or (y) Guarantor, Parent, their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates (and, in each case, entering into agreements or stipulating to the entry of any Judgment by, or filing appropriate applications with, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other Governmental Authority in connection with any of the foregoing and, in the case of actions by or with respect to the Company, by consenting to such action by the Company (including any consents required under this Agreement with respect to such action)); provided that any such action may, at the discretion of the Company, be conditioned upon the Merger Closing (any such action described in clauses (A) through (F), a “Restriction”) and (ii) defending through litigation any claim asserted in court or administrative or other tribunal by any Person (including any Governmental Authority) in order to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Restraint that would prevent the Merger Closing prior to the Outside Date. Parent shall have the unilateral right to determine whether to commit to or agree with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Laws, pull and refile under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Laws or enter into a timing agreement with any Governmental Authority; provided that such action would not be reasonably expected to delay the Merger Closing beyond the Outside Date. Parent is not required to obtain the Company’s consent but shall consult with the Company on the foregoing and consider in good faith the Company’s views. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to respond to and seek to resolve as promptly as reasonably practicable any objections asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall not knowingly take (and each of the Company and Parent shall cause their respective Affiliates not to knowingly take) any action with the intention to, or that would reasonably be expected to, hinder or delay the expiration or termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act or the obtaining of approval of the DOJ or FTC as necessary. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any party to take or agree to take any action with respect to its business or operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Merger Closing.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.04 or otherwise in this Agreement shall (i) require Guarantor, Parent or any of their Subsidiaries or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of Parent to agree to, accept or undertake (or to consent to the Company or any its Subsidiaries agreeing to, accepting or undertaking) any Restriction: (A) with respect to any assets, categories of assets or portions of any business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries if, in each case, any such Restriction would, individually or when taken together with all other actions undertaken with respect to the matters contemplated by this Section 5.04, reasonably be expected to (x) be material to the business, assets or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (y) be materially detrimental to the benefits that Parent or any of its Affiliates (including Guarantor) expect as a result of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (B) with respect to any assets, categories of assets or portions of any business of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including Guarantor).

62

(f) Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, if any Action or Judgment or other order, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging, hindering, impeding, interfering with or delaying any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violating any Antitrust Law or Foreign Investment Law, each of the Company (and its Subsidiaries) and Parent (and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates) shall cooperate in all respects with each other and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such Action and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Judgment or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger.

(g) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto shall use (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use) reasonable best efforts to (i) promptly cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any necessary, proper or advisable submissions, consents, approvals, filings, petitions, statements, licenses, permits, authorizations, declarations, notifications, registrations, submissions of information, applications, reports, waivers, exemptions, clearances, orders, confirmations and other documents with the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions or any proceeding initiated by a private Person, (ii) keep the other parties hereto informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material written or verbal communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority (including by promptly sending the other parties a copy of all documents, information, correspondence or other communications) and of any material written or verbal communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, in each case regarding any of the Transactions, (iii) subject to applicable Laws and the Confidentiality Agreement relating to the exchange of information, and to the extent reasonably practicable, promptly consult with the other parties hereto with respect to information relating to the other parties hereto and their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third Person or the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions, other than “4(c) documents” as that term is used in the rules and regulations under the HSR Act, (iv) to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other applicable Governmental Authority or other Person, promptly give the other parties hereto the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences (whether in person, by telephone or otherwise) and (v) promptly obtain all consents, registrations, waivers, exemptions, approvals, confirmations, clearances, permits, certificates, orders, and authorizations necessary, proper or advisable to be obtained from, or renewed with, the FTC, the DOJ and any other Governmental Authority. Prior to submitting any document or any information relating to the Transactions or the parties (whether formally or informally, in draft form or final form) to the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority, a party shall send the other parties such document or information reasonably in advance of such submission, and shall provide the other parties a reasonable opportunity to review such document or information and consider the other parties’ comments on such document or information in good faith.

63

Section 5.05. Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall consult (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to consult) with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Transactions (except to the extent any such statements related to an Adverse Recommendation Change), and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, Judgment, court process or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system, in each case as determined after consultation with outside legal counsel. The parties hereto agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Transactions following execution of this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties hereto (the “Announcement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.05 shall not apply to any press release or other public statement made by the Company, Parent or Guarantor (a) that substantially reiterates (and is not inconsistent with) the Announcement and the terms of this Agreement and does not contain any information relating to the Company or Parent or the Transactions that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) is made in the ordinary course of business and does not relate to or refer to this Agreement, the Transactions or Parent (or any of its Affiliates). None of the parties hereto need consult with the other in connection with such portion of any press release, public statement or filing to be issued with respect to any Takeover Proposal or Adverse Recommendation Change (but without limiting the Company’s obligations under Section 5.02).

Section 5.06. Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to applicable Laws and any applicable Judgment, during the period from the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, upon reasonable notice, the Company shall afford, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Representatives to afford, to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers, employees, agents, properties, assets, books, Contracts, work pagers, reports, correspondence records and other documents and information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any of the foregoing that relate to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, or, except as expressly provided in Section 5.02, to any Takeover Proposal or relating to any deliberation of the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) regarding any Takeover Proposal or Adverse Recommendation Change) and the Company shall furnish promptly to Parent and Parent’s Representatives such information concerning its and its Subsidiaries’ business, personnel, assets, liabilities and properties as Parent may reasonably request (other than any information that the Company determines in its reasonable judgment relates to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, or, except as expressly provided in Section 5.02, to any Takeover Proposal or relating to any deliberation of the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) regarding any Takeover Proposal or Adverse Recommendation Change), in each case, for any reasonable purpose in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (including for integration planning); provided that Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company; provided further, however, that (a) the Company shall

64

not be obligated to provide such access or information if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so would (i) result in the disclosure of Trade Secrets or competitively sensitive information to third parties, (ii) violate applicable Law, an applicable Judgment, a Contract or binding confidentiality obligation owing to a third party or (iii) jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or other legal privilege, and (b) the Company shall not be required to provide access to Parent or its Representatives to conduct any environmental sampling or testing without the Company’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided further, however, in each case, so long as the Company has used reasonable best efforts to cooperate and used reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure not in violation of such applicable privilege, Law or agreement including disclosure of such information through the use of customary “clean room” arrangements pursuant to which non-employee Representatives of Parent could be provided access to such information. Until the Effective Time, all information provided under this Section 5.06 will be subject to the terms of the letter agreement dated as of September 23, 2024, by and between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Section 5.07. Indemnification and Insurance. (a) For a period of six years immediately after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, in each case to the fullest extent permissible by applicable Law, (i) indemnify and hold harmless each current or former director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries and each other Person who immediately prior to the Effective Time is serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another Person who is indemnified or entitled to be indemnified by the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Company Charter Documents and the organizational documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any indemnification agreement between such director or officer or other Person and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in any agreement in existence as of the date of this Agreement providing for indemnification or advancement of expenses between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and such Person, in each case, as made available to Parent or disclosed in any report, schedule, form, statement or other document (including exhibits) filed with, or furnished to, the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Action (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (A) the fact that an Indemnitee is or was a director, officer or manager of the Company or such Subsidiary or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as such (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary as a representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case under clause (A) or (B), at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Action relating in whole or in part to the Transactions or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or expense advancement right of any Indemnitee) and (ii) assume (in the case of the Surviving Corporation, in the Merger without any further action) all obligations of the Company and such Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the Company Charter Documents and the organizational documents of such Subsidiaries or any indemnification agreement between the Company or its Subsidiaries and such Indemnitee, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

65

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, for a period of six years immediately after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permissible by applicable Law, Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the organizational documents of its Subsidiaries, to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of liabilities, indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation, in each case, than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Company Charter Documents and the organizational documents of such Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any of the Indemnitees. In addition, from the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to advance any expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel of any Indemnitee) under this Section 5.07 in each case in accordance with and as required by the Company Charter Documents; provided that, if and only to the extent any Indemnitee to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final adjudication that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

(c) Parent agrees that it shall not, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries not to, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Action relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.07 (each, a “Claim”) for which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnitee hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such Claim or such Indemnitee otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Parent agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to cooperate in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(d) For the six-year period commencing immediately after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time with respect to those individuals who are, as of the date of this Agreement (and any additional individuals who prior to the Effective Time become), covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies on terms and scope with respect to such coverage, and in amount, no less favorable to such individuals

66

than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement (or Parent may substitute therefor policies, issued by reputable insurers, of at least the same coverage with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, including a “tail” policy) except that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies an annual premium greater than 300% of the aggregate annual premium most recently paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum Amount”), and if the Surviving Corporation is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section 5.07.d) the Surviving Corporation shall obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for the years within such six-year period for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount.

81

Section 7.02. Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.01, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties hereto, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (provided that the Confidentiality Agreement, the last sentence of Section 5.06, Section 5.18(c), this Section 7.02, Section 7.03 and Article VIII shall survive termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or their respective former, current or future directors, officers, stockholders, managers, members or Affiliates, except, subject to Section 7.03.c) (including the limitations on liability set forth therein), no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for damages to another party resulting from a knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement prior to the date of termination or from fraud.

Section 7.03. Termination Fee. (a) In the event that:

(i) this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.01.b)i) or Section 7.01(b)(iii) or this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01.c)i) as a result of a knowing and intentional breach by the Company of Section 5.02; provided that, in each case, (A) a bona fide Takeover Proposal shall have been publicly made, proposed or communicated by a third party (or such Takeover Proposal has otherwise been made known to the Company Board and shall have become publicly known) after the date of this Agreement and such Takeover Proposal has not been unconditionally withdrawn prior to the time this Agreement is terminated and (B) within 12 months after such termination, the Company consummates any transaction included within the definition of Takeover Proposal or the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any transaction included within the definition of Takeover Proposal and such transaction is subsequently consummated at any time, in each case, whether or not involving the same Takeover Proposal or the Person or group making the Company the Takeover Proposal referred to in clause (A); provided that, for purposes of clauses (B) of this Section 7.03.a)i), the references to “20%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”; or

(ii) this Agreement is terminated (A) by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(c)(ii) or, if Parent would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(c)(ii) prior to or at the time the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) or Section 7.01(b)(iii) or (B) by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01.d)ii);

82

then, in any such event under clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 7.03(a), the Company shall pay or cause to be paid the applicable Company Termination Fee to Parent or its designee by wire transfer of same-day funds so long as Parent has provided the Company with wire instructions for such payment (x) in the case of Section 7.03.a)ii)(A), within two Business Days after such termination, (y) in the case of Section 7.03.a)ii)(B), simultaneously with (and as a condition to the effectiveness of) such termination or (z) in the case of Section 7.03.a)i), concurrently with the consummation of the Takeover Proposal referred to therein; it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay or cause to be paid the applicable Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

As used herein, “Company Termination Fee” shall mean a cash amount equal to $40,000,000.

(b) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges (i) that the agreements contained in this Section 7.03 are an integral part of the Transactions and (ii) that the Company Termination Fee is not a penalty, but a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which such payment is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions and (iii) that without these agreements, the other parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay or cause to be paid any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.03, and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent commences an Action which results in a Judgment against the Company, for the payment set forth in this Section 7.03, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid Parent’s reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received.

(c) Except in the case of fraud or a knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement by the Company and subject in all respects to Parent’s injunction, specific performance and equitable relief rights and related rights set forth in Section 8.08 and the reimbursement obligations of the Company under Section 7.03.b), in the event the applicable Company Termination Fee is paid to Parent in circumstances for which such fee is payable pursuant to Section 7.03.a), payment of the applicable Company Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive monetary damages remedy of Parent against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, managers, members or Affiliates (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon payment of such amount none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. While each of the Company and Parent may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 8.08 and the payment of the Company Termination Fee under Section 7.03, under no circumstances shall Parent be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in a Merger Closing and any money damages, including all or any portion of the Company Termination Fee.

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

Section 8.04. Assignment.

84

Section 8.06. Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company Disclosure Letter and the Exhibits hereto are “facts ascertainable” as that term is used in Section 251(b) of the DGCL, and do not form part of this Agreement but instead operate upon the terms of this Agreement as provided herein.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the rights granted pursuant to clause (e) and the provisions of Section 7.02 with respect to the recovery of damages based on the losses suffered by the stockholders of the Company (including the loss of the economic benefit of the Transactions to the stockholders of the Company) shall only be enforceable on behalf of the stockholders of the Company by the Company in its sole

85

and absolute discretion, as the sole and exclusive agent for the stockholders of the Company (which stockholders shall not be entitled to pursue such enforcement on their own behalf); provided that, in such capacity as sole and exclusive agent for the stockholders of the Company, the Company shall (i) be entitled to reimbursement (from the stockholders of the Company) from any such recovery of damages of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees determined by reference to standard hourly rates) that have been incurred by the Company in connection with acting as sole and exclusive agent for the stockholders of the Company pursuant to clause (e) and (ii) not be liable to the stockholders of the Company for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that the Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the cause of any direct loss to the stockholders of the Company.

Section 8.07. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. (a) Other than as provided in Section 8.17, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that State, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under any applicable conflict of laws principles.

(b) Other than as provided in Section 8.17, all Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any Action, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). The parties hereto hereby irrevocably (i) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such Action, (ii) waive the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance of any such Action, (iii) agree to not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or otherwise request for leave from any such court and (iv) agree to not bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any Action, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), except for Actions brought to enforce the Judgment of any such court. The consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 8.07.b) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto. Each party hereto agrees that service of process upon such party in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if notice is given by overnight courier at the address set forth in Section 8.10 of this Agreement (provided that nothing in this Section 8.07.b) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law). The parties hereto agree that a final Judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the Judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, a final trial court Judgment.

86

Section 8.08. Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief (including any fees payable pursuant to Section 7.03), even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement and the Transactions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 8.07.b) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right none of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.08 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. If, prior to the Outside Date, any party hereto brings any action, in each case, in accordance with this Section 8.08, to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended (x) for the period during which such action is pending, plus 20 Business Days or (y) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be.

Section 8.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.09.

The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement and shall not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

The initial Holders shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and a list of the initial Holders shall be furnished to the Rights Agent by or on behalf of Parent in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof.

2.2. Non-transferable. The CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer. Any such sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposal that is not a Permitted Transfer shall be null and void and of no effect.

-6-

2.3. No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.²

(a) The CVRs shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument; Holders’ rights and obligations in respect of CVRs derive solely from this Agreement.

(b) The Rights Agent shall keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of registering CVRs and Permitted Transfers of CVRs as herein provided. The CVRs shall initially, in the case of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Appraisal Shares), be registered in the names and addresses of the respective holders as set forth in the records of the Company at the Effective Time and in a denomination equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The CVR Register will initially show one position for Cede & Co. representing all of the CVRs that are issued to the holders of Shares held by DTC on behalf of the street holders of the Shares. The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the street name holders or DTC participants with respect to transfers of CVRs. With respect to any payments to be made under Section 2.4, the Rights Agent will accomplish the payment to any former street name holders of the Shares by sending a lump sum payment to DTC. The Rights Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments by DTC to such street name holders. In the case of CVRs to be received by the holders of Covered Equity Awards pursuant to the Merger Agreement, such CVRs shall initially be registered in the name and address of the holder of such Covered Equity Awards as set forth in the records of the Company at the Effective Time and in a denomination equal to the number of Shares subject to such Covered Equity Awards cancelled in connection with the Merger.

(c) Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and other documentation reasonably requested by the Rights Agent in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its guidelines, duly executed by the Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal representative or the Holder’s survivor, as applicable, and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register and notify the Parent of the same. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer of a CVR, but Parent and the Rights Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other transfer Tax or similar charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment of applicable Taxes or charges unless and until the Rights Agent is satisfied that all such Taxes or charges have been paid. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register shall be the valid obligations of Parent and shall entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR shall be valid unless and until registered in the CVR Register in accordance with this Agreement. The CVR Register is intended to comply with the requirements for “registered form” under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c).

(d) A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written request, the Rights Agent is hereby authorized to, and shall promptly, record the change of address in the CVR Register.

-7-

2.4. Payment Procedures.

(a) In the event that the Milestone is attained, then, on or prior to the Milestone Notice Date, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Rights Agent (i) a notice (the “Milestone Notice”) indicating which Milestone was attained and an Officer’s Certificate certifying the same and (ii) cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Rights Agent, equal to the aggregate amount necessary to pay the Milestone Payment Amount to all Holders (other than Holders who received CVRs in consideration of the Covered Equity Awards) pursuant to Section 4.2, along with any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent, solely to the extent such requirement has been communicated to Parent by the Rights Agent. The Milestone Notice shall include the Net Revenue Statement.

(b) The Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the items set forth in Section 2.4(a), send each Holder at its registered address a copy of such Milestone Notice. If a Milestone Payment is payable to the Holders (other than Holders who received CVRs in consideration of the Covered Equity Awards), then at the time the Rights Agent sends a copy of the Milestone Notice to such Holders, the Rights Agent shall also pay the Milestone Payment Amount to each of the Holders in accordance with the corresponding letter of instruction (i) by check mailed to the address of such Holder reflected in the CVR Register as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date of the Milestone Notice or (ii) with respect to any such Holder that is due an amount in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate who has provided the Rights Agent wiring instructions in writing as of the close of business on the date of the Milestone Notice, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified on such instructions. With respect to any Covered Milestone Payment that is payable to Holders of Covered Equity Awards, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or an affiliate of Parent (or, at Parent’s election, a third-party payroll provider of national reputation) to pay, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which the Milestone Notice has been delivered to the Rights Agent (but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable Milestone was attained), the Covered Milestone Payment applicable to such Holder through Parent’s, the Surviving Corporation’s or an Affiliate of Parent’s (or such third-party payroll provider’s) payroll system or third-party payroll agent or by the Paying Agent. If any such payment in accordance with this Section 2.4(b) cannot be made through the applicable payroll system or payroll provider or by the Paying Agent, then the Parent shall cause to be issued a check for such payment to such Holder of Covered Equity Awards (less applicable withholding Taxes, if any), as soon as reasonably practicable following the delivery of the Milestone Notice (but in no event later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable Milestone was attained) at the address for such Holder set forth in the CVR Register or, if such person is then employed by Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent, at the most recent address on the Parent’s or such Subsidiary’s personnel records for such Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, each Covered Milestone Payment is intended to constitute payments within the “short-term deferral” period following the lapse of a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (as such terms are defined for purposes of Section 409A) or shall otherwise be paid in compliance with or under an alternative exemption from Section 409A; provided, however, that to the extent any such payment would cause an impermissible acceleration event under Section 409A, such amount shall instead be paid at the earliest time such payment would not cause or reasonably be expected to cause an impermissible acceleration event under Section 409A.

(c) Parent (or its applicable Affiliate) shall be entitled to deduct or withhold, or cause the Rights Agent to deduct or withhold, from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code, the U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder, or any other applicable Law. Any such withholding with respect to Holders who received CVRs in consideration of the Covered Equity Awards shall be made, or caused to be made, through making payments through the payroll systems of the Surviving Corporation or any of its

-8-

Affiliates. Prior to making any such Tax withholdings or causing any such Tax withholdings to be made with respect to any Holder (other than ordinary course payroll withholding and reporting on the Covered Milestone Payments), Parent shall instruct the Rights Agent to solicit from such Holder an IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8 or other applicable Tax form within a reasonable amount of time in order to provide the opportunity for the Holder to provide any necessary Tax forms in order to avoid or reduce such withholding amounts. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement and the Merger Agreement as having been paid to the Holder to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld from the Covered Milestone Payments (as defined below), the Rights Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, deliver such amounts to Parent for the purposes of remitting such amounts to the IRS. In no event shall the Rights Agent have any duty, obligation or responsibility for wage or Form W-2 reporting with respect to Milestone Payments (including Covered Milestone Payments) made to the Holders.

(d) If any funds delivered to the Rights Agent for payment to the Holders as Milestone Payment Amounts remain undistributed to the Holders on the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Milestone Notice, Parent shall be entitled to require the Rights Agent to deliver to Parent or its designee any funds which had been made available to the Rights Agent in connection with such Milestone Payment Amounts and not disbursed to the Holders (including, all interest and other income received by the Rights Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such Holders shall be entitled to look to Parent or any successor in interest of Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Laws) only as general unsecured creditors thereof with respect to the Milestone Payment Amounts that may be payable, without interest.

(e) Neither Parent, the Rights Agent nor any of their Affiliates shall be liable to any Person (including any Holder) for any Milestone Payment Amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws. If, despite Parent’s and the Rights Agent’s commercially reasonable efforts to deliver a Milestone Payment Amount to the applicable Holder, such Milestone Payment Amount has not been paid immediately prior to the date on which such Milestone Payment Amount would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority, such Milestone Payment Amount shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the property of Parent or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense the Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to Parent.

(f) Except as otherwise required by applicable law, including to the extent any portion of any Milestone Payment Amount is required to be treated as imputed interest pursuant to applicable Law (including Section 483 of the Code), the parties hereto intend to treat, for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, (i) any CVRs and Milestone Payment Amounts received with respect to Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement as additional consideration for such Shares and (ii) Milestone Payment Amounts paid in respect of each CVR that was received with respect to Covered Equity Awards pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Covered Milestone Payments”), and not the receipt of such CVR, as wages in the year in which the applicable Milestone Payment Amount is made. Parent shall (and shall instruct the Rights Agent to) report for all Tax purposes in a manner consistent with the foregoing, including by instructing the Rights Agent to deliver to applicable Holders IRS Form 1099-B with respect to the receipt of Milestone Payments (other than Covered Milestone Payments), and none of the parties hereto will take any position to the contrary on any U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax Return or for other U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, except as required by applicable Law. To the extent required by applicable Law, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, report imputed interest on the Milestone Payment Amounts in respect of CVRs received with respect to the Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 483 of the Code.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Parent or any of its Affiliates from offering to acquire or acquiring any CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion. Any CVRs acquired by Parent or any of its Affiliates shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding for purposes of the definition of Acting Holders and Article 5 and Article 6.

If an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Rights Agent shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a reasonably prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

3.2. Certain Rights of the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent. In addition:

(f) the Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of, and shall be held harmless by Parent with respect to, any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by Parent only;

(g) the Rights Agent shall have no liability and shall be held harmless by Parent in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent and the enforceability of this Agreement against the Rights Agent assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by Parent), nor shall it be responsible for any breach by Parent of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement except for any such breach by Parent resulting from any gross negligence, bad faith, willful or intentional misconduct or fraud of the Rights Agent;

(h) Parent agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and hold the Rights Agent harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, demands, suits or expense arising out of or in connection with the Rights Agent’s duties under this Agreement, including the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending Rights Agent against any claims, charges, demands, suits or loss, unless such loss was a result of the Rights Agent’s fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful or intentional misconduct (including willful breach);

(i) the Rights Agent shall not be liable for consequential damages under any provision of this Agreement or for any consequential damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder unless such loss was a result of the Right Agent’s fraud gross negligence, bad faith or willful or intentional misconduct (including willful breach);

(j) Parent agrees (i) to pay the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent in connection with this Agreement as agreed upon in writing by the Rights Agent and Parent on or prior to the date hereof (which shall not exceed $[•] per year) and (ii) to reimburse the Rights Agent for all Taxes and governmental charges, reasonable and necessary documented out-of-pocket expenses and other charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Rights Agent in the execution of this Agreement (other than withholding Taxes owed by Holders and Taxes imposed on or measured by the Rights Agent’s net income and franchise or similar Taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income Taxes)).

-11-

(k) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent shall not be required to indemnify, hold harmless or reimburse the expenses of the Rights Agent in connection with any Action commenced by the Rights Agent against Parent; and

(l) no provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

3.3. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) The Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Parent specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect, which notice shall be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified but in no event shall such resignation become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4. Parent has the right to remove the Rights Agent at any time by specifying a date when such removal shall take effect but no such removal shall become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4. Notice of such removal shall be given by Parent to the Rights Agent, which notice shall be sent at least thirty (30) days prior to the date so specified.

(b) If the Rights Agent provides notice of its intent to resign, is removed pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or becomes incapable of acting, Parent shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable, appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent who shall be a stock transfer agent of national reputation or the corporate trust department of a commercial bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Parent shall fail to make such appointment within a period of sixty (60) days after giving notice of such removal pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or after Parent has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the incumbent Rights Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. The successor Rights Agent so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4, become the successor Rights Agent.

(c) Parent shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the CVR Register. Each notice shall include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Parent fails to send such notice within thirty (30) days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent shall cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of Parent. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 3.3, however, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

(d) The Rights Agent will cooperate with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and any successor Rights Agent in connection with the transition of the duties and responsibilities of the Rights Agent to the successor Rights Agent, including the transfer of all relevant data, including the CVR Register to the successor Rights Agent.

3.4. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Rights Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Parent and to the predecessor Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such successor Rights Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Rights Agent.

Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Rights Agent, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent, and received from Parent’s Paying Agent in the Merger or, in the case of Holders who held Covered Equity Awards, the Company, the names and addresses of the Holders as promptly as practicable upon the Effective Time, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Time. The Rights Agent will reflect all such names and addresses on the CVR Register and confirm the write up of the CVR Register and list of initial Holders to Parent promptly thereafter and, in any event, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such names and addresses from Parent or the Surviving Corporation’s transfer agent, as the case may be.

4.2. Payment of Milestone Payments. If the Milestone has been achieved in accordance with this Agreement, Parent shall, promptly (but in any event no later than the Milestone Notice Date), deposit or cause to be deposited with the Rights Agent, for payment to the Holders when payable in accordance with Section 2.4, the aggregate amount necessary to pay the Milestone Payment Amounts to all Holders (other than Holders who received CVRs in consideration of the Covered Equity Awards).

4.3. Books and Records. Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, keep true, complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the Holders and their consultants or professional advisors to determine the amounts payable hereunder (including books and records in sufficient detail to enable the calculation of Net Revenue in the Milestone Measurement Period).

4.4. Further Assurances. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement.

4.5. Operational Matters.

(a) From the Merger Closing Date through December 31, 2026, Parent shall maintain a dedicated “Foot and Ankle” business unit (the “Foot and Ankle Business Unit”) that will contain the business operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) From the Merger Closing Date through December 31, 2026, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall act in bad faith with the specific intent of avoiding achievement of the Minimum Milestone Threshold, the Maximum Milestone Threshold or the incurrence of the Milestone Payment obligation.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as Parent providing, and the Rights Agent disclaims, on behalf of itself and each Holder, any covenants, obligations, representations or undertakings that are not set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Milestone or the Milestone Payment obligation and it is understood that the sole obligations of Parent with respect to the Products and the Foot and Ankle Business Unit shall be as set forth in this Section 4.5.

-13-

4.6. Audit Rights.

(a) If the Milestone is not attained, Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent, on or before the Milestone Notice Date, a written notice (the “Expiry Notice”) indicating that no Milestone was attained and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that no Milestone was attained and that the Milestone Payment is not payable to the Holders of such CVR, and include the Net Revenue Statement. The Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Expiry Notice, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of such Expiry Notice.

(b) During the sixty (60)-day period following the delivery of the Milestone Notice to the Holders in accordance with Section 2.4(a) or the Expiry Notice in accordance with Section 4.6(a) (the earlier such date, the “End Date”), upon the reasonable written request from the Acting Holders, Parent shall provide the Acting Holders with reasonable documentation to support Parent’s calculation of Net Revenue and shall make its financial personnel reasonably available to a designated representative of the Acting Holders to discuss and answer the Acting Holders’ questions regarding such calculations; provided that (x) such Acting Holders enter into customary confidentiality agreements reasonably satisfactory to Parent with respect to the confidential information of Parent or its Subsidiaries to be furnished pursuant to this Section 4.6, (y) such access does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and (z) such confidential information or access shall not be required to be provided to the extent that such confidential information or access would reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege or violate any applicable Law. If the Acting Holders do not agree with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s calculations, the Acting Holders may, no later than thirty (30) Business Days after the Acting Holders request such documentation supporting Parent’s calculation, submit a written dispute notice to Parent setting forth the specific disputed items in the Net Revenue Statement and a reasonably detailed explanation thereof (such notice, a “Dispute Notice”). If the Acting Holders and Parent fail to agree on the matter under dispute within twenty (20) Business Days after the Acting Holders deliver the Dispute Notice to Parent (such period, the “Review Request Period”), Parent shall permit, shall cause its controlled Affiliates to permit, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its other Affiliates to permit, an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by such Acting Holders and reasonably acceptable to Parent (the “Independent Accountant”) to have access, with reasonable advance notice and at reasonable times during normal business hours to the books and records of Parent and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate and verify Parent’s calculation of the Net Revenue in the Milestone Measurement Period as set forth in the Net Revenue Statement; provided that (x) the Independent Accountant enter into customary confidentiality agreements reasonably satisfactory to Parent with respect to the confidential information of Parent or its Subsidiaries to be furnished pursuant to this Section 4.6 and (y) such access does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. The fees charged by the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the Acting Holders unless the Independent Accountant determines that Parent’s calculations of Net Revenue included in the Net Revenue Statement were erroneous such that the Holders were entitled to a greater Milestone Payment than the amount of the Milestone Payment that was set forth in the Net Revenue Statement, in which case such fees shall be borne by Parent. The Independent Accountant shall provide Parent with a copy of all disclosures made to the Acting Holders concurrently with each such disclosures to the Acting Holders. The Independent Accountant shall act only as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall be charged to come to a final determination solely with respect to those specific items in such Net Revenue Statement that the parties disagree on and submit to it for resolution. All other items in the Net Revenue Statement that the parties do not submit, prior to the end of the Review Request Period, to the Independent Accountant for resolution shall be deemed to be agreed by the parties and the Independent Accountant shall not be charged with calculating or validating those agreed upon items. The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be final, conclusive and binding on Parent and the Holders, shall be nonappealable and shall not be subject to further review, absent fraud or manifest error. Prior to the End Date, Parent shall

-14-

not enter into any transaction constituting a Change of Control or Carve-Out Transaction unless such agreement contains provisions that would permit the Independent Accountant with such access to the records of the other party in such Change of Control or Carve-Out Transaction, as applicable, if and solely to the extent as are reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with this Section 4.6. If, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.6, the Independent Accountant concludes that the Milestone Payment should have been paid but was not paid when due, or the Milestone Payment Amount paid should have been greater than the amount paid based on the amounts set forth in the Net Revenue Statement, Parent shall cause the applicable Milestone Payment Amount less any amounts deposited with the Rights Agent prior to such date pursuant to Section 4.2, to be paid (plus interest at the thirty (30) day U.S. dollar “prime rate” effective for the date such payment was due, as reported by Bloomberg, from when such Milestone Payment Amount should have been paid to the date of actual payment) promptly to each Holder, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the date the Independent Accountant delivers to Parent the Independent Accountant’s written report, with such payment made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4.

(c) If, at the End Date, the Acting Holders have not requested a review of the Net Revenue Statement, or if the Acting Holders have not delivered a timely Dispute Notice, in each case in accordance with this Section 4.6, the calculations set forth in the Net Revenue Statement shall be and conclusive upon the Holders.

4.7. Net Revenue Statement. Prior to the Milestone Notice Date, Parent shall have compiled a Net Revenue Statement. Parent shall keep such Net Revenue Statement in its books and records.

4.8. Change of Control; Carve-Out Transactions. In the event that either Parent or Guarantor consummates a Change of Control prior to the End Date or the payment of the Milestone Payment Amounts in accordance with this Agreement, whichever occurs earlier, Parent, Guarantor or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable depending upon the structure of the Change of Control, will cause the Person acquiring Parent or Guarantor to assume Parent’s or Guarantor’s, as applicable, and the Surviving Corporation’s (as applicable depending upon the structure of the Change of Control) obligations, duties and covenants under this Agreement to the extent not effected by operation of law. In the event that Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries desires to consummate a Carve-Out Transaction prior to the End Date or the payment of the Milestone Payment Amounts in accordance with this Agreement, whichever occurs earlier, Parent or Guarantor will cause the Person acquiring the rights to such Company Product to either (a) assume Parent’s obligations, duties and covenants under this Agreement pursuant to a supplemental contingent consideration payment agreement or other acknowledgement executed and delivered to the Rights Agent or (b) provide the information to Parent necessary for Parent to comply with its obligations under this Agreement. If a Carve-Out Transaction is consummated with a Person and such Person does not assume all of Parent’s obligations, duties and covenants hereunder, Parent shall retain all such obligations, duties and covenants hereunder; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Net Revenue of such Person who acquired such Company Products during the Milestone Measurement Period shall be included the Net Revenue calculation for the Milestone Measurement Period pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to or promptly following the consummation of any Change of Control or Carve-Out Transaction, as applicable, Parent or Guarantor will deliver to the Rights Agent an Officer’s Certificate, stating that such Change of Control or Carve-Out Transaction complies with clause (a) of this Section 4.8 and that all conditions precedent herein relating to such transaction have been satisfied; provided, no Officer’s Certificate shall be required if compliance with clause (a) occurs by operation of law. Upon consummation of a Change of Control or Carve-Out Transaction in accordance with this Section 4.8, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and Guarantor), shall have any further liability or obligation with respect to any Milestone Payments, and Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and Guarantor) shall be fully relieved from any such obligations.

-15-

4.9. Parent Products. Any Parent Products that are sold by any sales personnel who (a) were employed (or contracted) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on the Merger Closing Date or (b) are employed (or contracted) by the Surviving Corporation, or otherwise primarily dedicated to sales of Company Products (such employees in clauses (a) and (b), the “Company Salesforce”), during the Milestone Measurement Period (determined based on Guarantor’s ordinary course procedures for attributing sales of products to sales representatives and any related commission-based sales agreements), shall be deemed to be sales of “Products” and shall be included in the calculation of Net Revenue. For avoidance of doubt, sales of any Parent Product that are not sold by the Company Salesforce shall not be included in the calculation of Net Revenue.

5.1. Amendments without Consent of Holders.

(a) Without the consent of any Holders or the Rights Agent, Parent, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more amendments hereto, for any of the following purposes:

(i) to evidence the succession of another Person as a successor Rights Agent and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants and obligations of the Rights Agent herein;

(iv) as may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the CVRs are not subject to registration under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws;

(v) to evidence the assignment of this Agreement by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as provided in Section 7.3; or

(vi) any other amendments hereto for the purpose of adding, eliminating or changing any provisions of this Agreement, unless such addition, elimination or change is adverse to the interests of the Holders.

(b) Without the consent of any Holders, Parent and the Rights Agent, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more amendments thereto to reduce the number of CVRs, in the event any Holder agrees to renounce such Holder’s rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.4 or to transfer CVRs to Parent pursuant to Section 2.6.

(c) Promptly after the execution by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Rights Agent of any amendment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1, Parent shall transmit (or cause the Rights Agent to transmit) a notice through the facilities of DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures or by first class mail to the Holders at their addresses as they appear on the CVR Register, setting forth such amendment.

-16-

5.2. Amendments with Consent of Holders.

(a) Subject to Section 5.1 (which amendments pursuant to Section 5.1 may be made without the consent of any Holder or the Rights Agent), with the consent of the Acting Holders, whether evidenced in writing or taken at a meeting of the Holders, Parent and the Rights Agent may enter into one or more amendments hereto for the purpose of adding, eliminating or changing any provisions of this Agreement, even if such addition, elimination or change is materially adverse to the interest of the Holders.

(b) Promptly after the execution by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Rights Agent of any amendment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.2, Parent shall mail (or cause the Rights Agent to mail) a notice thereof by first class mail to the Holders at their addresses as they appear on the CVR Register, setting forth such amendment.

5.3. Execution of Amendments. Prior to executing any amendment permitted by this Article 5, the Rights Agent shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an opinion of counsel selected by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. Each amendment to this Agreement shall be evidenced by a writing signed by the Rights Agent and Parent. The Rights Agent may, but is not obligated to, enter into any such amendment that affects the Rights Agent’s own rights, powers, trusts or duties under this Agreement or otherwise.

5.4. Effect of Amendments. Upon the execution of any amendment under this Section 5, this Agreement shall be modified in accordance therewith, such amendment shall form a part of this Agreement for all purposes and every Holder shall be bound thereby.

6.1. Event of Default. An “Event of Default” with respect to the CVRs, means each one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of Law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority):

(a) default in the payment by Parent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement of all or any part of the Milestone Payment Amount after a period of thirty (30) days after the Milestone Payment Amount shall become due and payable; or

(b) material default in the performance, or breach in any material respect, of any covenant or warranty of Parent hereunder (other than a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 6.1 specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of sixty (60) days after a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied is given, which written notice states that it is a “Notice of Default” hereunder and is sent by registered or certified mail to Parent by the Rights Agent or to Parent and the Rights Agent by the Acting Holders.

If an Event of Default described above occurs and is continuing (and has not been cured or waived), then, and in each and every such case, (i) the Rights Agent by notice in writing to Parent or (ii) the Rights Agent upon the written request of the Acting Holders by notice in writing to Parent (and to the Rights Agent if given by the Acting Holders), may, in their discretion and at their own expense, commence a legal proceeding to protect the rights of the Holders, including to obtain damages or payment

-17-

for any amounts then due and payable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, damages directly resulting from, and in the event of, an Event of Default shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any and all Holders for any claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the CVRs, or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the Rights Agent shall have commenced such legal proceeding, and before any award shall have been obtained, Parent shall pay or shall deposit with the Rights Agent a sum sufficient to pay all amounts which shall have become due and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Rights Agent, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all Events of Default under this Agreement shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Acting Holders, by written notice to Parent and to the Rights Agent, shall waive all defaults that are the subject of such legal proceeding, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default.

6.2. Enforcement. If an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Rights Agent may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement by commencing a legal proceeding in accordance with Section 7.6.

6.3. Limitations on Suits by Holders. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.3, no Holder of any CVR shall have any right under this Agreement to commence proceedings under or with respect to this Agreement, including in the case of an Event of Default, and no individual Holder or other group of Holders, nor the Rights Agent on behalf thereof, will be entitled to exercise such rights, and such rights may only be exercised by the Acting Holders subject to Section 6.4 and satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Acting Holders previously shall have given to the Rights Agent written notice of default, (ii) the Acting Holders shall have made written request upon the Rights Agent to commence such proceeding in its own name as Rights Agent hereunder and shall have offered to the Rights Agent such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and (iii) the Rights Agent for fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to commence any such proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 6.4. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the right of any Holder of any CVR to receive payment of the amounts that a Milestone Notice indicates are payable in respect of such CVR on or after the applicable due date, or to commence legal proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such due date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

6.4. Control by Acting Holders. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.4, the Acting Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Rights Agent, or exercising any power conferred on the Rights Agent by this Agreement; provided that such direction shall be in accordance with Law and the provisions of this Agreement; provided, further that (subject to the provisions of Section 3.1) the Rights Agent shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Rights Agent, being advised by its own counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Rights Agent (acting in good faith through its board of directors, the executive committee, or a committee of directors of the Rights Agent) shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Rights Agent in personal liability or if the Rights Agent in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders not joining in the giving of said direction. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of the Rights Agent in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Rights Agent and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by the Acting Holders.

-18-

7.1. Notices to the Rights Agent and Parent.

7.2. Notice to Holders. Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and transmitted through the facilities of DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the Holder’s address as it appears in the CVR Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

7.3. Parent Successors and Assigns. The Parent may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the majority of the Acting Holders; provided that Parent may, without such consent, assign this Agreement (a) in connection with (i) a Change of Control of Parent, (ii) a Carve-Out Transaction, in each case in accordance with Section 4.8 or (b) to one or more direct or indirect controlled Affiliates of Parent; provided that in the case of clause (b), Parent remains jointly and severally liable. Any assignee may thereafter assign any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder in the same manner as Parent pursuant to this Section 7.3. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s successors and permitted assignees. The Rights Agent may not assign this Agreement without Parent’s written consent. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any such rights in violation of this Section 7.3 shall be void and of no effect.

7.4. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any Person (other than Parent and the Rights Agent) any right, benefit, legal or equitable right, claim or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except for ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s successors and permitted assignees, each of whom is intended to be, and is, a third party beneficiary hereunder; provided that the Holders shall be considered third party beneficiaries solely to the extent set forth in Article 6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder or ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted Transfer may agree to renounce, in whole or in part, its rights under this Agreement by written notice to the Rights Agent and Parent, which notice, if given, shall be irrevocable. The Holders shall have no rights except the contractual rights as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder may at any time agree to renounce, in whole or in part, whether or not for consideration, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights under this Agreement by written notice to the Rights Agent and Parent, which notice, if given, shall be irrevocable, and Parent may, in its sole discretion, at any time offer consideration to the Holders in exchange for their agreement to irrevocably renounce their rights, in whole or in part, hereunder.

7.5. Governing Law. This Agreement, the CVRs and all actions arising under or in connection herewith and therewith (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

7.6. Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. In any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the matters contemplated hereby: (a) each of Parent, the Rights Agent and the Holders irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware (it being agreed that the consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 7.6 shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than Parent, the Rights Agent and the Holders); and (b) each of Parent, the Rights Agent and the Holders irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such Party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable. Each of Parent, the Rights Agent and the Holders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated hereby in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably and

unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum (including, any claim based on the doctrine of forum non conveniens or any similar doctrine). Parent, the Rights Agent and the Holders agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Person’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATION OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) EACH OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

7.7. 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 the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

7.8. Obligation of Parent; Guaranty. Parent shall cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to duly perform, satisfy and discharge each of the covenants, obligations and liabilities applicable to Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation under this Agreement, and Parent shall be jointly and severally liable with Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation for the performance and satisfaction of each of said covenants, obligations and liabilities. References to Merger Sub herein apply to the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Rights Agent, the payment and performance of each of the covenants, obligations and liabilities applicable to Parent and its respective successors and assigns under this Agreement, in each case, as and when due (the “CVR Guaranteed Obligations”). This guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual discharge and performance of the CVR Guaranteed Obligations. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Guarantor expressly waives any requirement that any Person exhaust any right, remedy or power or proceed against Parent (or any of its successors or assigns) under this Agreement or against any other Person under any other guaranty of, or security for, any of the CVR Guaranteed Obligations. Should Parent (or any of its successors or assigns) default in the timely discharge or performance of all or any portion of the CVR Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall immediately fully and punctually discharge and perform such CVR Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that all provisions of Section 7 (other than this Section 7.8) shall apply to the Guarantor mutatis mutandis with respect to this Section 7.8. Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 7.8 are expressly limited to the CVR Guaranteed Obligations and shall automatically expire upon the full discharge and performance of all CVR Guaranteed Obligations and thereafter, Guarantor shall no longer have any duties or obligations under this Agreement.

7.9. Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement and the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all contemporaneous and prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. If and to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent or conflicts with the Merger Agreement, (i) this Agreement shall govern and be controlling with respect to CVR matters only, and (ii) the Merger Agreement shall govern and be controlling with respect to all matters unrelated to CVRs. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) in pdf, DocuSign or similar format and transmitted by email shall be sufficient to bind the parties hereto to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

7.10. Termination. This Agreement will be terminated and of no force or effect and the parties hereto will have no liability or obligation to make any payments hereunder (other than with respect to monies due and owing by Parent to the Rights Agent), upon the earliest to occur of (a) the payment by the Rights Agent to each Holder of the Milestone Payment Amounts required to be paid under the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.4, (b) the delivery of a written notice of termination duly executed by Parent and the Acting Holders and (c) if the Milestone is not attained, the later of the expiration of the Review Request Period and the decision of the Independent Accountant with respect to any Dispute Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the termination of this Agreement will not affect or limit (i) the right to receive the Milestone Payment Amounts under Section 2.4 to the extent earned prior to termination of this Agreement or (ii) the right of Acting Holders to submit a Dispute Notice during the Review Request Period and (y) the provisions applicable thereto will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such termination shall effect any rights or obligations accrued prior to the effective date of such termination (including any liability in respect of any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination) or Sections 2.4(e), 3.2, 7.4, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8 or this Section 7.10, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent.
