1.1 The Offer.

(a) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that this Agreement shall not have been validly terminated pursuant to Article VIII, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event more than fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter), Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Offer. In the Offer, each Share accepted by Purchaser in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer shall be exchanged for (x) the Per Share Price and (y) one contingent value right per Share (a “CVR”) representing the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the CVR Agreement, the consideration set forth in the CVR Agreement (the CVRs together with the aggregate Per Share Price paid in accordance with this Section 1.1(a), the “Offer Consideration”), subject to the other provisions of this Article I. The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that is disseminated to holders of the Shares pursuant to the Exchange Act and contains, to the extent required by the Exchange Act, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Schedule I). Each of Parent and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including Schedule I). The obligation of Purchaser to accept for purchase (and the obligation of Parent to cause Purchaser to accept for purchase) Shares validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to:

(i) the condition that, prior to the expiration of the Offer, there have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer a number of Shares that, upon the consummation of the Offer, together with the Shares then owned directly or indirectly by Parent, Purchaser or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received,” as such term is defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL, by the depositary for the Offer pursuant to such procedures), would represent at least a majority of the aggregate number of shares of the Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Offer (the “Minimum Condition”); and

(ii) the other conditions set forth in Schedule I.

(b) Purchaser expressly reserves the right, at any time, to (i) increase the Offer Consideration to be paid in the Offer, (ii) waive or modify any of the conditions to the Offer and (iii) to make any change in the terms of, or conditions to, the Offer; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser may not (and Parent shall not permit Purchaser to) (i) waive the Minimum Condition, or any of the conditions

2

set forth in Section (a), (b), or (c)(v) of Schedule I or (ii) make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer that (A) changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer, (B) reduces the Offer Consideration to be paid in the Offer (by proposing to change the Per Share Price, CVR or otherwise) or decreases the number of Shares sought in the Offer (other than in each case an adjustment made pursuant to Section 1.1(c)), (C) extends the Offer, other than in a manner required or permitted by Section 1.1(d), (D) imposes conditions to the Offer, other than those set forth in Schedule I, (E) amends, modifies or waives the Minimum Condition, (F) amends or modifies any term of or condition to the Offer (including the conditions in Schedule I) in any manner that has an adverse effect, or would be reasonably likely to have an adverse effect, on the holders of the Shares or (G) extends or otherwise changes any time period for the performance obligations of Purchaser or Parent in a manner other than pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Adjustments to Offer Consideration. In the event that during the Pre-Closing Period the Company changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such Shares which are issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, reorganization, subdivision, or other similar transaction (any of the foregoing transactions, a “Share Adjustment”), the Offer Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of such event on the Merger Consideration; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.1(c) shall be construed to permit the Company or any other Person to take any action except to the extent consistent with, and not otherwise limited or prohibited by, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d) Expiration and Extension of the Offer.

(i) Unless the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 1.1(d), the Offer shall expire at midnight, Eastern Time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Section 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the date the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) (as such date and time may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). In the event that the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, then the Offer shall expire on the date and at the time to which the Offer has been so extended.

(B) in the event that any of the conditions to the Offer (other than the Minimum Condition, and other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Expiration Time (provided such conditions would be capable of being satisfied or validly waived were the Expiration Time to occur at such time)) have not been satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder) as of any then-scheduled expiration of the Offer, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) extend the Offer for successive extension periods of up to ten (10) Business Days each (or for such longer period as may be agreed by Parent and the Company), it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer pursuant to this clause (B) beyond the Termination Date; and

3

(C) if as of any then-scheduled expiration of the Offer each condition to the Offer (other than the Minimum Condition, and other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Expiration Time (provided such conditions would be capable of being satisfied or validly waived were the Expiration Time to occur at such time)) has been satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder) and the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, extend the Offer for successive extension periods of up to ten (10) Business Days each (with the length of each such period being determined in good faith by Parent) (or for such longer period as may be agreed by Parent and the Company in writing), it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer pursuant to this clause (C) beyond the Termination Date;

provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (1) any extension of the Offer pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this Section 1.1(d)(ii) shall not be deemed to impair, limit, or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of Parent or the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 8.1 and (2) Purchaser shall not be required (and Parent shall not be required to cause Purchaser) to extend the Offer beyond the Termination Date.

(iii) Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall extend the Offer or provide a “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act in any manner other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company.

(iv) Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the then-scheduled expiration of the Offer unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article VIII, in which case Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer promptly (but in no event more than one (1) Business Day) after such termination of this Agreement.

(v) Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of the Offer, including with respect to the number of Shares that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer, and with respect to any material developments with respect thereto and, upon the Company’s written request (no more often than once per day during the Offer (other than on the date of the then-scheduled expiration of the Offer)), provide the Company as soon as practicable with the most recent report then available from the Exchange Agent detailing the number of Shares that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser on a timely basis the funds necessary to pay for any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided, to the Exchange Agent promptly

Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Shares represented by a Certificate (other than holders of Excluded Shares) or Uncertificated Shares (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)) or Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for surrendering the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)) or Uncertificated Shares (including instructions for sending an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request)) to the Exchange Agent. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 3.2(e)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal or with respect to Uncertificated Shares receipt of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash and CVRs pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i), less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f). The Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until due surrender of the Certificates or Uncertificated Share, each Certificate and Uncertificated Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive cash and CVRs pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable portion of Merger Consideration to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate or Uncertificated Share pursuant to Section 3.1(a) may be issued and paid to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer Taxes required by reason of the transfer or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(c) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares for one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered, at Parent’s option, to Parent. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) who has not theretofore complied with Section 3.2(b) shall thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of any cash and CVRs (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(g)) or Uncertificated Shares,

10

without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Company, Parent, Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the cash and CVRs issuable or payable pursuant to this Article III (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f)) had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

(f) Withholding Rights. Each of the Parent, the Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent (each, a “Withholding Agent”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, including any consideration payable pursuant to the Merger and any payments under the CVR Agreement, to any holder of Shares, Company Options, or any other recipient of payments hereunder any amounts it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted by the Withholding Agent to the applicable Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder or other recipient in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(g) Uncertificated Shares. Any holder of Uncertificated Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III in respect of such Uncertificated Shares. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more Uncertificated Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, shall, upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive, and the Surviving Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each Uncertificated Share, and the Uncertificated Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable to a holder of Uncertificated Shares.

3.3 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that during the Pre-Closing Period the Company effects a Share Adjustment, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of such event on the Merger Consideration.

3.4 Treatment of Equity Awards and ESPP.

(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding, unexercised Company Option that is vested at the Effective Time, or that vests as a result of the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (each, a “Vested Company Option”) and has an exercise price per Share that is less than the Per Share Price shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive (i) an amount (without interest) in cash, equal in value to (A) the total number of Shares subject to the Vested Company Option multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over the exercise price per Share underlying such Vested Company Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment (the “Closing Vested Company Option Consideration”), and (ii) a CVR (together, the “Vested Company Option Consideration”). The

11

Closing Vested Company Option Consideration shall be paid to (i) any holders who are employees or former employees of the Company through payroll, less applicable withholdings and deductions within 30 days following the Closing and (ii) all other holders, through the Company’s accounts payable. At the Effective Time, each Vested Company Option that has an exercise price per Share that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Price will be cancelled immediately for no consideration or payment and without any further action on the part of any Person. Following the Effective Time, no Vested Company Option shall remain outstanding, and each former holder of a Vested Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the right (if any) to receive the Vested Company Option Consideration in exchange for such Vested Company Option in accordance with this Section 3.4(a).

(b) At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is not a Vested Company Option (each, an “Unvested Company Option”) shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled immediately for no consideration or payment. Following the Effective Time, no Unvested Company Option shall remain outstanding, and each former holder of a Unvested Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

(c) Notice of Option Treatment. As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to each holder of a Company Option a letter describing the treatment of such Company Option pursuant to this Section 3.4, and providing instructions for obtaining payment with respect to such Company Option, if any, following the Effective Time, which payment, if any, shall be conditioned on such holder timely executing and delivering to the Company an acknowledgement of and release with respect to the cancellation of the Company Option (an “Option Acknowledgement”); provided that prior to such delivery, the Company shall provide Parent with drafts of each form of Option Acknowledgement and shall incorporate all of Parent’s reasonable comments.

(d) Further Action. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Company Board shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Options as set forth in this Section 3.4. As of the Effective Time, the Company Stock Plans will terminate and all rights under any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest with respect to the capital stock of the Company or any Company Subsidiary will be cancelled.

(e) No current offering periods are underway under the ESPP as of the date of this Agreement. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall take all actions with respect to the ESPP (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the ESPP) to provide that no offering periods will commence under the ESPP following the date of this Agreement and the ESPP shall terminate prior to the Effective Time.

3.5 CVR Agreement. At or prior to the Acceptance Time, the Parent and the Purchaser will authorize and duly adopt, execute and deliver, and will ensure that a duly qualified Rights Agent executes and delivers, the CVR Agreement to the Company, subject to any reasonable revisions to the CVR Agreement that are requested by such Rights Agent (provided that such revisions are not, individually or in the aggregate, materially detrimental to any holder of CVRs).

3.6 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

12

(b) If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the date of loss of such status, such shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1, and shall not thereafter be deemed to be Dissenting Shares.

(c) The Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless the Parent shall have given its written consent to such payment or settlement offer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(i) solicit, initiate, induce, encourage or facilitate (including by way of granting a waiver under Section 203 of the DGCL), any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal;

38

(ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations or cooperate in any way with any Person regarding any proposal or offer the consummation of which would constitute a Company Acquisition Proposal;

(iv) enter into any binding or nonbinding letter of intent, term sheet, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, agreement in principle, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, lease agreement or other similar agreement with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal;

The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussions and negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal, or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal, and shall promptly terminate access by any such Person to any physical or electronic data rooms relating to any such Company Acquisition Proposal. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver a written notice to each Person that entered into a confidentiality agreement in anticipation of potentially making a Company Acquisition Proposal within the last 90 days, to the effect that the Company is ending all discussions and negotiations with such Person with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal, effective on the date hereof and requesting the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to such Person.

(b) Fiduciary Exception to No Solicitation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2(a), prior to, but not after, the Acceptance Time, the Company may, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal (which Company Acquisition Proposal was made after the date of this Agreement and has not been withdrawn) which did not result from a breach, in any material respect, of this Section 6.2 and so long as it has provided prior written notice to Parent of the identity of such Person and its intention to engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person, (i) provide access to non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Person who made such Company Acquisition Proposal; provided that such information has previously been made available to Parent or is provided to Parent substantially concurrently with the making of such information available to such Person and that, prior to furnishing any such non-public

39

information, the Company receives from the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement with terms at least as restrictive in all material respects on such Person as the Licensing Agreement’s confidentiality and non-use terms are on Parent (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not prohibit the making or amending of a Company Acquisition Proposal), and (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person regarding such Company Acquisition Proposal if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation that (A) such Company Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Company Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Company Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c) Notice. The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Parent (orally and in writing) if (i) any written or other inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries, proposals, offers or requests for information relating to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal are received by the Company, (ii) any non-public information is requested in connection with any Company Acquisition Proposal from the Company or (iii) any discussions or negotiation with respect to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal are sought to be initiated or continued with the Company, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements and other material written communications or, if oral, a summary of the material terms and conditions of such proposal or offer), and thereafter shall keep Parent informed, on a current basis (and in any event within 48 hours), of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including by promptly providing copies of any additional requests, proposals or offers, including any drafts of proposed agreements and any amendments thereto and other information set forth above. The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 6.2 or otherwise prohibits the Company from complying with its obligations under this Section 6.2. The Company further agrees that it will not provide information to any Person pursuant to any confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement unless such Person agrees prior to receipt of such information to waive any provision that would prohibit the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 6.2 or otherwise prohibit the Company from complying with its obligations under this Section 6.2.

(d) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

“Company Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal (other than a proposal or offer by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) for (i) any merger, reverse merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, issuance of securities, direct or indirect acquisition of securities, recapitalization, tender offer, exchange offer or other similar transaction in which a Person or “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) of Persons directly or indirectly acquires, or if consummated in accordance with its terms would acquire, beneficial or record ownership of securities representing more than 20% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the Company; (ii) issuance or acquisition of securities representing more than 20% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the Company; (iii) any direct or indirect sale, lease, exchange, transfer, acquisition or disposition of any assets of the Company and of the Company Subsidiaries that constitute or account for (x) more than 20% of the consolidated net revenues of the Company, consolidated net income of the Company or consolidated book value of the Company; or (y) more than 20% of the fair market value of the consolidated assets of the Company; or (iv) any liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

40

“Company Intervening Event” means any event or development that has a material effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement that (i) was not known to, or reasonably foreseeable by, the Company Board prior to the execution of this Agreement, which event, occurrence, fact, condition, change, development or effect becomes known to, or reasonably foreseeable by, the Company Board prior to the Acceptance Time and (ii) does not relate to (A) a Company Acquisition Proposal or (B) (1) any changes in the market price or trading volume of the Company, (2) the Company meeting, failing to meet or exceeding published or unpublished revenue or earnings projections, in each case in and of itself, (3) any event or development generally affecting the industries in which Company operates or in the economy generally or other general business, financial or market conditions, (4) any change in any applicable Law and (5) any event or development to the extent directly resulting from the announcement or pendency of, or any actions required to be taken by the Company or Parent (or refrained to be taken by the Company or Parent) pursuant to the Agreement or the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

“Company Superior Proposal” means any bona fide, binding, written Company Acquisition Proposal on terms which the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with outside counsel and an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, would reasonably be expected to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the Person or group of Persons making the proposal, and, if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s stockholders in their capacities as such from a financial point of view than the Offer and the Merger (after taking into account any revisions to the terms of the Contemplated Transactions pursuant to Section 6.2(f) of this Agreement and the time likely to be required to consummate such Company Acquisition Proposal); provided that for purposes of the definition of “Company Superior Proposal”, the references to “20%” in the definition of Company Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

(e) No Company Change in Recommendation or Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Except as provided in Section 6.2(f) and Section 6.2(g), the Company Board and each committee of the Company Board shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser, the Company Board Recommendation or approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable (or publicly propose or resolve to approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable) any Company Acquisition Proposal or make or authorize the making of any public statement (oral or written) that has the substantive effect of such a withdrawal, qualification or modification, or remove the Company Board Recommendation from or fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 (each, a “Company Change in Recommendation”) or (ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, term sheet, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, lease agreement or other similar agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.2(b) entered into in compliance with Section 6.2(a)) relating to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Company Acquisition Proposal or requiring the Company (or that would require or could reasonably be expected to require the Company) to abandon, terminate, or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or that would otherwise materially impede, interfere with or be inconsistent with, the Contemplated Transactions (a “Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

(f) Fiduciary Exception to No Company Change in Recommendation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2(e), following receipt of an unsolicited, bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal by the Company after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.2 and with respect to which the Company has received a written, definitive form of Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement that has not been withdrawn, and the Company Board determining in good faith, after consultation with independent financial advisors of

41

nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, make a Company Change in Recommendation with respect to such Company Superior Proposal, if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with the provisions of this Section 6.2 and shall have (A) provided to Parent four Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall state expressly (1) that it has received a written Company Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Company Acquisition Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the Person or group making the Company Acquisition Proposal), and shall have contemporaneously provided an unredacted copy of the Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement and all other written documents and a summary of the material terms of oral communications related to the Company Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term or condition of such Company Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional two Business Day period) and (3) that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company Board has determined to effect a Company Change in Recommendation, and (B) prior to making such a Company Change in Recommendation, (x) engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to engage) during such notice period to consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement which may be proposed in writing by Parent such that the Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement ceases to constitute a Company Superior Proposal, and (y) in determining whether to make a Company Change in Recommendation, the Company Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent; and

(ii) the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with independent financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Company Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms proposed in writing by Parent, such Company Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Company Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g) Company Change in Recommendation Due to Company Intervening Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2(e), upon the occurrence of any Company Intervening Event, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, make a Company Change in Recommendation, if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent four Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Company Intervening Event and the rationale for the Company Change in Recommendation (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the facts and circumstances relating to the Company Intervening Event shall require a new notice and an additional two Business Day period), and (2) state expressly that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company Board has determined to effect a Company Change in Recommendation and (B) prior to making such a Company Change in Recommendation, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to engage) during such four Business Day period to consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement which may be proposed in writing by Parent in such a manner that the failure of the Company Board to make a Company Change in Recommendation in response to the Company Intervening Event in accordance with clause (ii) below would no longer be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

42

(ii) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with independent financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that in light of such Company Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms proposed in writing by Parent, the failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation, would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(h) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal or state Law with regard to a Company Acquisition Proposal; provided that any “stop look and listen” communication to its stockholders of the nature contemplated by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act shall include an affirmative statement to the effect that the recommendation of the Company Board is affirmed or remains unchanged; provided, further, that this Section 6.2(h) shall not be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board to effect a Company Change in Recommendation except in accordance with Sections 6.2(f) or 6.2(g).

(b) Parent acknowledges and agrees that the monetary remedies set forth in Section 8.5 and the specific performance remedies set forth in Section 9.15 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Parent and Purchaser against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, managers, members, Representatives or Affiliates for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated except in the case of Fraud or a Willful Breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation (in which case only the Company shall be liable for damages for such Fraud or Willful Breach), and upon payment of such amount, none of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, managers, members, Representatives or Affiliates shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, except for the liability of the Company in the case of Fraud or a Willful Breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation.

(c) Company acknowledges and agrees that the specific performance remedies set forth in Section 9.15 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries against Parent, Purchaser and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, managers, members, Representatives or Affiliates for any loss as a result of the failure of the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated except in the case of Fraud or a Willful Breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation (in which case only Parent shall be liable for damages for such Fraud or Willful Breach).

“In November 2022 we announced that we do not plan to invest in commercializing STS101 and that we would actively explore alternatives to maximize value for shareholders, while minimizing cash expenditures.

Accordingly, key elements of our revised business plan and strategy are as follows:

There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully execute our revised business plan and strategy, and in the event we are unable to timely conclude a Potential Strategic Transaction on acceptable terms, we may be forced to discontinue development of STS101, withdraw the STS101 NDA and pursue other strategic alternatives, such as dissolution and wind-down.”
