Article 1
THE MERGER

1.1The Merger.

(a)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent. The Merger shall be effected pursuant to the DGCL and shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all of the debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation. The Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the Ancillary Agreements are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.”

(b)At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without the necessity of further action by the Company or any other Person, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated so as to read in its entirety in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto, and as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law (subject to Section 5.8). In addition, the Company and the Surviving Corporation shall take all necessary action such that, at the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so as to read in its entirety in the form set forth as Exhibit B hereto, and as so amended shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law (subject to Section 5.8).

(c)At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without the necessity of further action by the Company or any other Person, the officers and directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time or such other individuals designated by Parent as of the Effective Time shall become the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office, from and after the Effective Time, in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(d)If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall determine, in its sole discretion, or shall be advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or

Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

1.2Closing; Effective Time of the Merger.

(a)The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 8:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the second (2nd) Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of all of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied by the delivery of documents or the taking of actions at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or (if permitted by Law) waiver of those conditions at the Closing), either (x) remotely by telephone and electronic communication and exchange of documents or (y) physically at the offices of Pillsbury ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP, Four Embarcadero Center, 22nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94111-5998, or at such other place, at such time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date”.

(b)On the Closing Date, or on such other date as Parent and the Company may agree to in writing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL in order to give effect to the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger shall have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such other date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger, such date and time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time.”

Article 2
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES IN THE MERGER

2.1Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities of Merger Sub or the Company:

(a)Conversion of Shares. Each Share, other than Shares to be cancelled or converted pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (the “Excluded Shares”) and the Dissenting Shares, shall be converted automatically solely into the right to receive $7.75 per Share (the “Merger Consideration”), payable net to the holder in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law as provided in Section 2.5, upon compliance with the applicable conditions specified in, and surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with, Section 2.2. As of the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in accordance with Section 2.2.

(b)Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Parent-Owned Shares. Each Share held by the Company as treasury stock or held directly by Parent or Merger Sub (or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub), in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall automatically be cancelled and

shall cease to exist, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof.

(c)Merger Sub Equity Interests. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

2.2Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a)Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a nationally recognized bank or trust company to act as the paying agent (the identity and terms of designation and appointment of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, it being understood that Acquiom Clearinghouse, LLC shall be deemed reasonably acceptable to the Company) for purposes of effecting the payment of the Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger in accordance with this Article 2 (the “Paying Agent”), and shall not be used for any other purpose (such funds, including any interest received with respect thereto, the “Payment Fund”), and shall enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent in form and substance acceptable to Parent and the Company, each acting reasonably and in good faith (the “Paying Agent Agreement”). The Surviving Corporation shall pay, or cause to be paid, the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent. Prior to, or substantially concurrently with, the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and pursuant to irrevocable instructions from Parent, the Aggregate Merger Consideration to which holders of Shares (other than the Dissenting Shares and Excluded Shares) shall become entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.1(a). In the event such deposited funds are insufficient to make the payments contemplated pursuant to Section 2.1(a), Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent such additional funds to ensure that the Paying Agent has sufficient funds to make such payments. Such Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of the Shares, other than the Dissenting Shares and Excluded Shares, in accordance with this Article 2; provided, however, that (i) to the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments such that the Payment Fund diminishes below the level required to make prompt payment of the Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Payment Fund lost through such investments so as to ensure the Payment Fund is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) any such investments shall be in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. Government or rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares (including the Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares).

(b)Procedures for Surrender.

(i)Certificates. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the Effective Time),

the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Shares, which Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement: (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of such Shares to the Paying Agent, and shall otherwise be in such form as Parent and the Paying Agent shall reasonably agree (a “Letter of Transmittal”); and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of the certificates (if certificated) formerly evidencing such Shares (the “Certificates”) (or affidavits of loss and delivery of an indemnity bond reasonable in amount, if requested by Parent, in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(e)), in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration payable hereunder in respect of such Shares. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss and delivery of an indemnity bond reasonable in amount, if requested by Parent, in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.2(e)) to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with delivery of a Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates, the Paying Agent or such other agent, in accordance with the Letter of Transmittal and instructions, shall transmit to the holder of such Certificates the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificates (subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law as provided in Section 2.5), and any Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. Until properly surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by, and subject to the applicable conditions of, this Agreement.

(ii)Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no holder of non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall be required to deliver a Certificate to the Paying Agent, to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a). In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares held through The Depository Trust Company whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall, if such holder has delivered a Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent prior to the Effective Time, be entitled to receive, and Parent shall direct the Paying Agent to pay and deliver to The Depository Trust Company or its nominee as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, in respect of each such Book-Entry Share a cash amount in immediately available funds equal to the Merger Consideration (subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law as provided in Section 2.5), and such Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall be cancelled. Upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), any holder of Book-Entry Shares not held through The Depository Trust

Company that has delivered a Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent prior to the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a cash amount in immediately available funds equal to the Merger Consideration (subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law as provided in Section 2.5), and such Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall at the Effective Time be cancelled. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Book-Entry Shares. Until paid or properly surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by, and subject to the applicable conditions of, this Agreement.

(c)Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares (or otherwise as stockholders of the Company) except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d)Termination of Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. Any portion of the Payment Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) made available to the Paying Agent that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares on the first anniversary of the Effective Time will be returned to the Surviving Corporation or an affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any such holder who has not tendered its Certificates (or an affidavit of loss and an indemnity bond reasonable in amount, if requested by Parent, in lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section 2.2(e)) or Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2(b) prior to such time shall (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) thereafter look only to Parent (as general unsecured creditors) for delivery of the Merger Consideration, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law as provided in Section 2.5, in respect of such holder’s surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b). Any portion of the Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by the holders of Shares immediately prior to the earlier of (i) such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity and (ii) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation or an affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or their respective affiliates will be liable to any holder of a Shares for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e)Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming to be the holder of the Shares evidenced by the purportedly lost,

stolen or destroyed Certificates and, as provided in the immediately following sentence, delivery by such Person of an indemnity bond reasonable in amount, if requested by Parent, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(a). Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require any Person claiming to be the holder of Shares evidenced by purportedly lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in a reasonable amount as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any of their respective affiliates with respect to the Shares evidenced by the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.3Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by holders of such Shares who have not voted in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement, including the Merger, or consented thereto in writing, and who are entitled to and have properly demanded appraisal of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to only such consideration as may be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL unless and until any such holder fails to perfect, withdraws, or otherwise loses its appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such Shares. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or otherwise loses such rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Dissenting Shares will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into, at the Effective Time, the right to receive, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement and shall no longer constitute Dissenting Shares hereunder. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and, except as otherwise provided by applicable Law, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than such rights as are provided to holders of Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt (and in any event, within one (1) Business Day of receipt by the Company) written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisals of Shares, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments relating to appraisal demands received by the Company pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, (ii) the opportunity and right to direct and control, at Parent’s sole expense, all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands and (iii) if Parent elects not to so direct and control, the right to participate (but not appear on the record) in all such negotiations and proceedings and to be kept reasonably apprised by the Company of all material developments with respect thereto, and, in such an event, the Company shall consider in good faith comments or suggestions proposed by Parent with respect to such demands; provided, that, from and after the date hereof until the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands or

waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise to comply with Section 262 of the DGCL or other applicable Law.

2.4Treatment of Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Treatment of Options. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of any securities of the Company or any beneficiary thereof, each option to purchase Shares, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (if any) (each a “Company Option”) shall automatically be cancelled and be converted into the right to receive (without interest) a lump sum cash payment (less applicable Tax withholdings) equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares underlying such Company Option multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per Share exercise price of such Company Option (the “Option Consideration”); provided, that, any such Company Option with respect to which the per Share exercise price subject thereto is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be canceled effective as of the Effective Time for no consideration and shall have no further force or effect. On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Surviving Corporation, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each of the holders of Company Options, the applicable Option Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes) within fifteen (15) Business Days following the Closing Date (but in no event earlier than the date of receipt of file-stamped evidence of the Merger filing from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware).

(b)Treatment of Restricted Stock Units. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of any securities of the Company or any beneficiary thereof: (i) each restricted stock unit award (or portion thereof) subject to time-based vesting restrictions, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding under any Company Equity Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company RSU”), shall automatically be canceled in consideration for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment (less any applicable Tax withholdings) equal to: (x) the total number of Shares underlying such Company RSU multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration (the “Company RSU Consideration”), and (ii) each restricted stock unit award (or portion thereof) subject to performance-based vesting conditions that is outstanding under any Company Equity Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company PRSU”), (A) to the extent not vested, shall be deemed to have satisfied such performance vesting conditions at 100% of target and shall have any time-based vesting conditions waived; and (B) shall automatically be canceled in consideration for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment (less any applicable Tax withholdings) equal to: (x) the number of Shares underlying such Company PRSU multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration (the “Company PRSU Consideration”). On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Surviving Corporation, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each of the holders of Company RSUs and Company PRSUs, the applicable Company RSU Consideration and/or Company PRSU Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes) withing fifteen (15) Business Days following the Closing Date (but in no event earlier than the date of receipt of file-stamped evidence of the Merger filing from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware); provided, however, that to the extent any payments cannot be paid during such period without causing the recipient to incur a penalty tax under Section 409A of the Code, then such payment shall be distributed in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder.

(c)Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

As of the date of this Agreement, none of Parent or Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates has entered into any legally binding agreement, arrangement or understanding (in each case, whether oral or written), or authorized, committed or agreed to enter into any legally binding agreement, arrangement or understanding (in each case, whether oral or written), (a) with any third party that would reasonably expected to limit in any material respect Parent’s or Merger Sub’s ability to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement or (b) with any third party that would reasonably be expected to materially delay (beyond the End Date) or prevent the consummation of the Transactions.

4.7Proxy Statement. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date that the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto is filed, mailed, distributed or disseminated to holders of Shares and at the time of the Company Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading (except that no representation or warranty is made by Parent or Merger Sub with respect to such portions thereof that relate expressly to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to statements made therein based on information supplied by or on behalf of Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein).

4.8Vote/Approval Required. No vote or consent of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of Parent is necessary to approve this Agreement or the Merger or the other Transactions.

“interested stockholder” of the Company (as each such term is defined in Section 203 of the DGCL).

Parent and Merger Sub is not entering into the Transactions with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of any of Parent, its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation.

4.11Ownership of Merger Sub. All of the outstanding Equity Interests of Merger Sub have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Merger Sub are, and at the Effective Time will be, wholly owned directly or indirectly by Parent. Merger Sub was formed solely for purposes of the Merger and, except for matters incident to formation and execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of the Transactions, has not prior to the date hereof engaged in any business or other activities.

4.12No Stockholder and Management Arrangements. Except for this Agreement, or as expressly authorized by the Company Board, neither Parent nor Merger Sub, nor any of their respective officers, directors or affiliates, is a party to any Contract, or has made or entered into any formal or informal arrangement or other understanding (including as to continuing employment), with any stockholder, director or officer of the Company relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any other Transactions, or the Surviving Corporation or any of its affiliates, businesses or operations from and after the Effective Time.

4.13Brokers.

Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries from and against any losses that may be incurred by

any of them to the extent directly arising out of or directly related to (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent arising out of or related to the Company’s provision of such information to Parent or its Representatives if the Company was not permitted to do so under applicable Law or Contract) the use, storage or handling of (i) any personally identifiable information relating to employees, providers or customers of the Company or any Subsidiary and (ii) any other information that is protected by applicable Law (including privacy Laws) or a Contract and to which Parent or its Representatives are afforded access pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)The parties hereby agree that all information provided to the other party or the other parties’ Representatives in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, including any information obtained pursuant to Section 5.2(a), shall be treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, dated April 10, 2025 between Parent or one of its affiliates and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

5.3Non-Solicitation.

(a)Except as permitted by this Section 5.3, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall not direct or permit the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives acting on behalf or at the direction of the Company or its Subsidiaries to, in each case directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage the submission of any Takeover Proposal; (ii) continue, conduct, or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate, or encourage any effort by, any third party relating to: (A) a Takeover Proposal; or (B) any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal; (iii) except where the Company Board makes a good faith determination, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board, amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) enter into a letter of intent, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract in each case relating to any Takeover Proposal or that would require the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger (excluding any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements or the agreements contemplated by Section 5.3(b)) (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”); or (v) approve, authorize, agree, or publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing. The Company shall, shall cause its Subsidiaries, and shall direct the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives acting on behalf or at the direction of the Company or its Subsidiaries to cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions, or negotiations, if any, with any third party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Takeover Proposal, shall request that any third party in possession of non-public information in respect of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries and provided access to an electronic data room maintained by the Company or its Representatives in connection

with a Takeover Proposal in the last twelve (12) months prior to the date of this Agreement return or destroy (and confirm destruction of) all such information and request that such third parties direct their Representatives to do the same and shall within twenty four (24) hours of the date of this Agreement terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such party or its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that it is not a breach of this Agreement for the Company, its Subsidiaries, or the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives to reply to an unsolicited Takeover Proposal to inform such Person that the Company and its directors and officers and Representatives are subject to a no-shop provision and cannot engage in discussions except in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 5.3(a), prior to the receipt of Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board, directly or indirectly through any Representative, may, subject to Section 5.3(c): (i) participate in negotiations or discussions with any third party that has made a Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 5.3(a) that the Company Board believes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law not to participate in negotiations or discussions pertaining to such Takeover Proposal and thereafter furnish to such third party non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement that constitutes an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (unless such third party is already subject to a confidentiality agreement with the Company and such third party agrees to permit the Company to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, including Section 5.3); and (ii) contact any Person who has submitted a Takeover Proposal to clarify the terms and conditions thereof for purposes of determining whether such Takeover Proposal is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal.

(c)The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt of any written any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal. In such notice, the Company shall identify the third party making, and details of the material terms and conditions of, any such Takeover Proposal, indication or request, including copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements. The Company shall keep Parent informed, on a reasonably current and prompt basis, of the status and material terms of any such Takeover Proposal, indication or request, including any material amendments or proposed amendments as to price, proposed financing, and other material terms thereof. The Company shall promptly provide Parent with copies of any non-public information concerning the Company’s and any of its Subsidiary’s business, present or future performance, financial condition, or results of operations, provided to any third party to the extent such information has not been previously provided to Parent.

(d)Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.3(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any Subsidiary to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement.

(i)Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may: (A) effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Superior Proposal or (B) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(a) in order to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; in each

case, that did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.3, if: (I) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, at least three (3) Business Days (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”) before taking the action described in clause (A) or (B) of this Section 5.3(d)(i), of its intention to take such action with respect to such Superior Proposal, which notice shall state expressly that the Company has received a Takeover Proposal that the Company Board intends to declare is a Superior Proposal, and that the Company Board intends to take the action described in clause (A) or (B) of this Section 5.3(d)(i); (II) the Company specifies the identity of the party making the Superior Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof in such notice and includes an unredacted copy of the Takeover Proposal and attaches to such notice the most current version of any proposed agreement (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis) for such Superior Proposal and any related documents, including financing documents (which financing documents may include customary redactions), to the extent provided by the relevant party in connection with the Superior Proposal; (III) the Company and its Representatives during the Superior Proposal Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Takeover Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Superior Proposal Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including, any revision in price, the Superior Proposal Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remains in the Superior Proposal Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)); and (IV) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (after taking into account any adjustments made by Parent during the Superior Proposal Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement) and that the failure to take such action would be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law.

(ii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to an Intervening Event, if: (A) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing (email to Parent and Parent’s outside counsel pursuant to Section 8.2 being deemed sufficient), at least two (2) Business Days (the “Intervening Event Notice Period”) before effecting a Company Adverse Recommendation Change of its intention to take such action with respect to such Intervening Event, which notice shall advise Parent of the Intervening Event, including a reasonable description of the underlying terms and circumstances giving rise to such Intervening Event (and the reasons for taking such action), and that the Company Board intends to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; (B) the Company and its Representatives during the Intervening Event Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement that obviates the need for the Company Board to effect, or cause the Company to effect, a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of such Intervening Event; and (C) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that an Intervening Event has occurred and that the failure to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would

be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law.

(e)Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company Board or any committee thereof from disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Takeover Proposal, if the Company determines, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to disclose such position would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law; provided, however, that any public disclosure (other than any “stop, look and listen” statement made under Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) by the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) relating to any determination, position or other action by the Company, the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to any Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly and publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such disclosure. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) from making a factually accurate public statement that (A) describes the Company’s receipt of a Takeover Proposal; (B) identifies the Person or group of Persons making such Takeover Proposal; (C) provides the material terms of such Takeover Proposal; or (D) describes the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto and any such statement will not, in any case, be deemed to be (1) an adoption, approval or recommendation with respect to such Takeover Proposal; or (2) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

5.4Stockholders Meeting; Proxy Materials; Merger Sub Approval.

(a)Subject to applicable Law and except to the extent that the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by, and in compliance with, Section 5.3 hereof, (i) the Company shall establish a record date for (and the Company will not change the record date without the prior written consent of Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and duly call, give notice of, convene, and hold the special meeting of the stockholders of the Company to be held to consider the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Transactions, including the Merger, and a stockholder advisory vote contemplated by Rule 14a-21(c) of the Exchange Act (if required) (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, subject to the Company’s reasonable determination, in consultation with Parent, of the timing necessary to comply with applicable Law, stock exchange rules, and to solicit proxies to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, and (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation. As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall conduct a “broker search” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act in a manner designed to enable the record date of the Company Stockholders Meeting to be set so that the Company Stockholders Meeting can be held promptly following the effectiveness of the Proxy Statement. The Company shall not submit any other proposals for approval at the Company Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company shall keep Parent and Merger Sub updated with respect to proxy solicitation results as reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub. The Company shall have the right, after good faith consultation with Parent, to, and shall at the request of Parent, to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting, on no more than two (2) occasions for a period of up to ten (10) Business Days and shall postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting at the request of Parent on no more than two (2) occasions in the event of the following clause (B): (A) for the absence of a quorum,

(B) to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies, taking into account the amount of time until the Company Stockholders Meeting, or the Company has not received a number of proxies that would reasonably be believed to be sufficient to obtain Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholders Meeting or (C) to the extent required by applicable Law.

(b)In connection with the Company Stockholders Meeting, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days) following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file, in preliminary form, the Proxy Statement with the SEC. Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company will cooperate and consult with each other, in each case in a customary and reasonable manner, in the preparation of the Proxy Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Merger Sub will, and will cause their affiliates to, furnish the Company the information relating to it required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Proxy Statement and shall promptly provide, and shall cause their affiliates to promptly provide, such other assistance in the preparation of the Proxy Statement as may be reasonably requested by the Company from time to time. The Company shall not file the Proxy Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, without providing Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any material changes thereto (which comments shall be reasonably considered by the Company in good faith). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve, and each party agrees to, and Parent shall cause its affiliates to, consult and cooperate with the other party in resolving, all SEC comments with respect to the Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof and to cause the Proxy Statement in definitive form to be cleared by the SEC and mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following filing with the SEC. The Company agrees to consult with Parent prior to responding to SEC comments with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company agree to, and Parent shall cause its affiliates to, correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement which shall have become false or misleading and the Company shall promptly prepare and mail to its stockholders an amendment or supplement setting forth such correction. The Company shall as promptly as practicable: (i) notify Parent, in any event, within one (1) Business Day, of the receipt of any comments from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Proxy Statement or for additional information; and (ii) provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement.

(c)Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger, in accordance with the DGCL.

5.5Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

(a)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including those contained in this Section 5.5), each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate and make effective, and to satisfy all conditions to, in the most expeditious manner practicable (and in any

event no later than the End Date), the Merger and the other Transactions, including: (i) the obtaining of all necessary Governmental Authorizations, waivers, and actions or nonactions from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations, filings, and notifications (including filings with Governmental Entities and in connection with those Permits listed on Section 5.5 of the Company Disclosure Schedule), as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days, after the date hereof for filing the Premerger Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act, and subject to the limitations contained herein, the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entities; (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents or waivers from third parties; and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, failure to obtain Consent under any commercial agreement set forth on Section 3.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Permits listed on Section 5.5 of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall, and Parent shall cause its affiliates to, subject to applicable Law, promptly: (A) reasonably cooperate and coordinate with the other parties in the taking of the actions contemplated by clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) immediately above; and (B) supply the other parties with any information that may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the taking of such actions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent and its affiliates shall not be required to (i) agree or proffer to divest or hold separate (in a trust or otherwise), terminate existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of, or take any other action with respect to, any assets or businesses of Parent or any of its affiliates, or (ii) take any action, commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or limitation contemplated in this Section 5.5 that would result in, or would limit Parent or any of its affiliates freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain any of the businesses, product lines, or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing.

(b)The parties to this Agreement may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively or commercially sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 5.5 or otherwise as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials. Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the Transactions. If the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions, then it shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request, and, if permitted by applicable Law and by any applicable Governmental Entity, provide the other party’s counsel with advance notice and the opportunity to attend and participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing made thereto in connection with the Transactions. Parent shall pay any filing fees required to be paid by the parties hereto under any registrations, filings, and notifications with any Governmental Entity.

(c)Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant Section 5.5(a) hereof, the parties hereto shall, as applicable: (i) provide or cause to be provided as promptly as reasonably practicable to Governmental Entities with jurisdiction over the Antitrust Laws (each such Governmental Entity, a “Governmental Antitrust Authority”)

information and documents requested by any Governmental Antitrust Authority as necessary, proper, or advisable to permit consummation of the Transactions; and (ii) subject to the terms set forth in Section 5.5(a) hereof, use their reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary or advisable to obtain prompt approval of the consummation of the Transactions by any Governmental Entity or expiration of applicable waiting periods. Neither Parent nor the Company shall, without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (A) “pull-and-refile,” pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 803.12, any filing made under the HSR Act, (B) agree to extend or restart the waiting, review or investigation period under any Antitrust Laws or (C) offer, negotiate or enter into any commitment or agreement, including any timing agreement, with any Governmental Antitrust Authority to delay the consummation of, to extend the review or investigation period applicable to, or not to close before a certain date, the Merger.

(d)In the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or private party challenging the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, the parties hereto shall cooperate in all respects with the other parties hereto and shall contest such action or proceeding, including by resisting any such action or proceeding and having vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary, or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Transactions.

(e)Parent shall not, and shall not permit its ultimate, indirect parent entity or any of its or such ultimate, indirect parent entity’s respective controlled Affiliates to, enter into any Contracts to acquire (by stock purchase, merger, consolidation, purchase of assets, license or otherwise) any ownership interests or assets of any Person that would be reasonably likely to: (i) materially increase the risk of imposing any delay in the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period beyond the End Date or materially increase the risk of not obtaining any consent, approval or waiver of a Governmental Antitrust Authority necessary to consummate the Transactions, including any approval or expiration of the waiting period under any applicable Antitrust Laws, and the failure of which to obtain would prevent a condition set forth in Article 6 from being satisfied; or (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering, or materially increase the risk of not being able to remove or successfully challenge, any Law or Order that is reasonably likely to prevent the conditions set forth in Article 6 from being satisfied.

5.6Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions shall be a release mutually agreed to by the Company and Parent. Thereafter, each of the Company and Parent agrees that no public release, statement, announcement, or other disclosure concerning the Merger and the other Transactions shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, except as may be required by: (a) applicable Law; (b) court process; (c) the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq; or (d) any Governmental Entity to which the relevant party is subject or submits; provided, in each such case, the party making the release, statement, announcement, or other disclosure shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, which comments the other party shall consider in good faith and shall incorporate if reasonable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.6 shall not apply to any release, statement, announcement or other disclosure made with respect to: (i) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change issued or made

in compliance with Section 5.3; (ii) any other disclosure issued or made in compliance with Section 5.3; (iii) any litigation among the parties regarding this Agreement or the Transactions; (iv) responses to a publicly disclosed Takeover Proposal; or (v) the Merger and the other Transactions that is substantially similar (and identical in any material respect) to those in a previous public release, statement, announcement, or other disclosure made by the Company or Parent in accordance with this Section 5.6. Prior to making any material written communications to the employees or independent contractors of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the Transactions, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication at least one (1) Business Day prior to dissemination prior to the date of first use, and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments made to such communication (it being understood that any subsequent communication that sets forth substantially the same information shall not require compliance with this sentence).

5.7Employee and Employee Benefit Matters.

(a)During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the date which is twelve (12) months from the Effective Time (or if earlier, the date of the Company Continuing Employee’s termination of employment with Parent and its Subsidiaries) (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide or cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to provide each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, as of the Effective Time who is hired by Parent or remains employed by the Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) immediately after the Effective Time (each, a “Company Continuing Employee,” and, collectively, the “Company Continuing Employees”) with (i) base pay or wage rate no less favorable than was provided to such Company Continuing Employee by Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) annual target cash incentive bonus opportunities (excluding change-in-control or transaction-based payments, long-term incentives, nonqualified deferred compensation, severance (except as set forth in Section 5.7(c)), retention, equity or equity-based compensation, post-retirement or retiree medical or welfare benefits, and defined benefit arrangements (the “Excluded Benefits”)) no less favorable than those provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing.

(b)On and after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each Company Continuing Employee credit for all years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries performed by such Company Continuing Employee prior to the Effective Time, under any retirement or welfare employee benefit plan (other than any Excluded Benefits) maintained by Parent or any its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation (collectively, the “Parent Benefit Plans”), for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not for benefit accrual purposes), as applicable, to the same extent such years of service are recognized by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, nothing in this Section 5.7(b) shall be construed to require crediting of service that would result in (i) duplication of benefits for the same period of service, or (ii) service credit for benefit accruals under a defined benefit pension plan or any grandfathered or frozen Parent Benefit Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, each Company Continuing Employee’s vacation, paid time off and sick time accruals (or such similar benefits), as of the Effective Time, shall carry over to the applicable entity employing such Company Continuing Employee following the Effective Time; provided, that such accruals have been paid or properly recorded as a liability on the books of the relevant entity. With respect to Parent Benefit Plans that are welfare benefit plans, programs and arrangements

as such term is defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA (each, a “Parent Welfare Benefit Plan”) in which a Company Continuing Employee is, or may become, eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time, the Parent and its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, (A) waive, or cause the insurance carrier to waive, all limitations as to pre-existing and at-work conditions, if any, with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each such Company Continuing Employee and any covered dependent under any Parent Welfare Benefit Plan to the same extent waived under a comparable Company Benefit Plan and (B) provide credit to each Company Continuing Employee and any covered dependent for any co-payments, deductibles, out-of-pocket expenses and similar expenses and costs paid by each such Company Continuing Employee or covered dependent under the Parent Welfare Benefit Plans during the relevant plan year of such Parent Welfare Benefit Plan in which the Effective Time occurs.

(c)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.7, in the event that any Company Continuing Employee’s employment with Parent or its Subsidiaries, including Surviving Corporation is terminated during the Continuation Period, other than due to the Company Continuing Employee’s death, disability or voluntary termination of employment, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to such employees severance and other termination benefits that are no less favorable than the severance and other termination benefits specified in Section 5.7(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(d)This Section 5.7 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.7, express or implied, shall confer upon any individual, current or former employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries, any beneficiary, or any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.7. Nothing contained herein, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, terminate or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement; (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify, or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored, or maintained by any of them; or (iii) shall prevent the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates from terminating the employment of any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 5.7 shall not create any right in any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any other Person to any continued employment with the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever, or otherwise alters any existing at-will employment relationship between any employee and the Surviving Corporation.

5.8Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company Charter and/or Company Bylaws, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date hereof and disclosed in Section 5.8 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Indemnification Agreements”), shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time and

shall survive the Merger and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as the indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation provisions set forth in the Company Charter and/or Company Bylaws as of the date of this Agreement. During such six-year period, such provisions may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable Law.

(b)Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.8(a), for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would be permitted by applicable Law and required by the organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries and the Indemnification Agreements as in effect on the date hereof, to do so, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against and from any costs or expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to: (A) any alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time; or (B) this Agreement or the Transactions and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any Indemnified Party upon confirmation by the Indemnified Party of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification applicable to him or her and subject to receipt of a customary written undertaking (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct for indemnification was not met or such Indemnified Party is otherwise not entitled to indemnification. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether the conduct of any Indemnified Party complies or complied with any applicable standard shall be made by one (1) independent legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Party(ies), which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation, and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees of such counsel shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.8(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, Parent shall not (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all of the Indemnified Parties covered by the claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(c)Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may purchase a six (6) year “tail” prepaid policy with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the Transactions); provided, that the premium for such insurance shall not exceed 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for such insurance prior to the date of this

Agreement, which amount is set forth in Section 5.8(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Maximum Premium”). If the Company does not purchase a “tail” insurance policy prior to the Effective Time as provided above, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain as of the Effective Time “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Effective Time with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the Transactions); provided, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not less favorable with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, further, that in no event will the Surviving Corporation be required to expend an annual premium for such coverage in excess of the Maximum Premium. If such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at an annual premium equal to or less than the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation will obtain, and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain, the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium. Parent shall not, and shall not permit the Surviving Corporation or its other Subsidiaries to, take any action that would prejudice the rights of, or otherwise impede recovery by, the beneficiaries of any such insurance purchased pursuant to this Section 5.8(b), whether in respect of claims arising before or after the Effective Time.

(d)The obligations of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.8 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and, except as required to comply with applicable Law, shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.8 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.8 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.8).

(e)In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract, or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to, or shall release, waive, or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or its officers, directors, and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.8 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

5.9Parent Agreements Concerning Merger Sub. During the period from the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time and the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7, Merger Sub shall not engage in any activity of any nature except for activities contemplated by, related to or in furtherance of the Transactions (including enforcement of its rights under this Agreement) or as provided in or contemplated by this Agreement. Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub will be jointly and severally liable for the failure by either of them to perform and discharge any of their respective

covenants, agreements and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and any Alternative Financing.

5.10Takeover Statutes. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium,” or other anti-takeover Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Merger, or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then each of the Company and the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

5.11Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause any dispositions (or deemed dispositions) of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the Merger by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company, and who would otherwise be subject to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, to be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

5.12Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall provide Parent with prompt notice of, and copies of all pleadings and correspondence relating to, any Proceeding against the Company or any of its directors or officers by or on behalf of any current or former holder of Company Common Stock arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions. The Company shall (a) keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis regarding any stockholder litigation against the Company or its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, whether commenced prior to or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement; (b) give Parent the opportunity to review and propose comments with respect to all filings, pleadings and responses proposed to be filed or submitted by or on behalf of the Company prior to such filing or submission, and the Company shall consider such comments in good faith and (c) give Parent the opportunity to participate in (but not direct or control) the defense, settlement or compromise of any such Proceeding, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, and no such settlement or compromise shall be agreed to without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

5.13Stock Exchange Delisting. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under Laws and rules and policies of Nasdaq to delist the shares of Company Common Stock from Nasdaq and terminate the registration of the shares of Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act promptly after the Effective Time.

5.14Efforts to Obtain Financing.

(a)Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (x) consummate and obtain the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms set forth therein, including using Parent’s reasonable best efforts to (i) comply with and maintain in full force and effect the Debt Commitment Letter (and any definitive agreements entered into in connection therewith) in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on terms and conditions not less favorable to Parent (as determined by Parent in good faith) than the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis at or prior to Closing all conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter that are applicable to Parent and within Parent’s control, and

(iv) upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at Closing) draw upon and consummate the Debt Financing at the Closing (including by instructing the Financing Sources and the other Persons providing the Debt Financing to provide such Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing and, as necessary or desirable to satisfy the conditions to specific performance described in Section 8.12, for the Financing Sources to deliver a written confirmation that such Financing Sources have provided the Debt Financing or will provide the Debt Financing if the Closing occurs on the terms contemplated in this Agreement); provided, that all of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those to be satisfied by the delivery of documents or the taking of actions at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (if permissible by Law) waiver of those conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied and (y) (i) obtain the proceeds of the Incremental DDTL Loans in an amount, when taken together with the proceeds of the Debt Financing and cash on hand of Parent and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, sufficient to fund the Required Amount (including using reasonable efforts to perform the actions described in the foregoing clause (x) in respect of the Debt Commitment Letter and related financing matters, but for purposes of this clause (y), with such actions being in respect of the Incremental DDTL Loans under the Parent Credit Agreement in lieu of the Debt Financing under the Debt Commitment Letter) and (ii) maintain in full force and effect the commitments in respect of the Incremental DDTL Loans in an amount, when taken together with the proceeds of the Debt Financing and cash on hand of Parent and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, sufficient to fund the Required Amount.

(b)Parent shall give the Company prompt notice upon (A) becoming aware of any breach or default, or threatened breach or default in writing, by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements relating thereto or (B) its receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to the Debt Commitment Letter with respect to (i) any failure to comply with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related thereto by any party thereto, (ii) any actual or threatened termination or repudiation (whether in whole or in part) of the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related thereto by any party thereto, or (iii) any dispute or disagreement between or among any of the parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing and, if applicable, the Alternative Commitment Letter or the Alternative Financing that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing or adversely impact in any material respect the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing necessary to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, ordinary course negotiations). Upon the request of the Company, Parent shall inform the Company in reasonable detail of the status of Parent’s efforts to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence or the immediately preceding sentence shall require Parent to disclose any information that is subject to the attorney-client or work product privilege or the disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to result in the breach of any of Parent’s confidentiality obligations set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (as in effect on the date hereof).

(c)If the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter becomes unavailable on the terms and subject to the conditions contemplated therein, in whole or in part, for any reason, Parent shall (i) promptly notify the Company thereof and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to arrange for and obtain alternative debt financing from other sources on terms and conditions that are not less favorable to Parent (as determined by Parent in good faith) than those in the Debt Commitment Letter in respect of the Debt Financing which has become unavailable (including not expanding the conditions precedent to funding on the Closing Date or otherwise adversely affecting the ability or

likelihood of Parent or Merger Sub to timely consummate the Transaction, and not adversely impacting the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the Financing Sources party to such Debt Financing arrangements) in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions in the timeframe contemplated by this Agreement (the “Alternative Financing”) to replace such unavailable Debt Financing and to obtain a new financing commitment letter with respect to such Alternative Financing (an “Alternative Commitment Letter”), and will provide Company with a copy of the Alternative Commitment Letter and any related fee letter (which may be redacted in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 4.5(a)). In the event any Alternative Commitment Letter is obtained, (x) any reference in this Agreement to any “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by such Alternative Commitment Letter and (y) any reference in this Agreement to any “Debt Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letter to the extent not superseded by an Alternative Commitment Letter at the time in question and any Alternative Commitment Letter to the extent then in effect, in each case other than with respect to Parent’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub’s representations set forth in Section 4.5 with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter and Debt Financing.

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, or incapable of being enforced under any applicable Law, 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 shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

8.6Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all exhibits, annexes, and schedules referred to herein), the Company Disclosure Schedule, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, and the Company Disclosure Schedule (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Company Disclosure Schedule), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

8.9Mutual Drafting; Interpretation. Each party has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” As used in this Agreement, the word “or” is not exclusive. The words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or paragraph hereof. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The word “will” shall have the same meaning as “shall” and vice versa. “Writing”, “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic

media) in a visible form. As used in this Agreement, references to a “party” or the “parties” are intended to refer to a party to this Agreement or the parties to this Agreement. When used in reference to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the term “material” shall be measured against the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The words “made available to Parent” and words of similar import refer to documents (a) posted to the data room maintained by the Company or its Representatives in connection with the Transactions (the “Data Room”) or (b) that are publicly available in the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (▇▇▇▇▇) database of the SEC, in each case of clauses (a) and (b), at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement. Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Articles,” “Sections,” “Exhibits,” “Annexes” and “Schedules” are intended to refer to Articles and Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules to this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to “$” are intended to refer to U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, the term “or” shall be disjunctive and shall not be deemed to be exclusive. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to (i) any Person shall be deemed to refer to such Person’s successors and permitted assigns, and, in the case of any Governmental Entity, to any Person(s) succeeding to its functions and capacities, (ii) any Law shall be deemed to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and (iii) any Contract, Organizational Document or Law shall be deemed to refer to such Contract, Organizational Document or Law as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (and in the case of any Contract or Organizational Document, in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as applicable), and in effect at any given time (and in the case of any Law, to any successor provisions) (provide that for purposes of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that are made as of a specified date, references to any Law shall be deemed to refer to such Law as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, in each case, as of such date). Any reference to any “day” or any number of “days” without explicit reference to “Business Days” shall be deemed to refer to a calendar day or number of calendar days. If any action is to be taken on or by a particular calendar day that is not also a Business Day, then such action may be deferred until the immediately succeeding Business Day. The phrases “ordinary course” or “ordinary course of business” when used with respect to any Person means taking or refraining to take any action, if such action by such Person is consistent with the past practices of such Person (including with respect to volume and frequency) and is taken in the ordinary course of the operations of such Person. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or a material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had, would have or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The information contained in the Company Disclosure Schedule is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be an admission by the Company to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of Contract).

PDF format or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.12Specific Performance; Remedies Cumulative.

(a)The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that, subject to Section 8.12(d), the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.

(b)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.12(d), each party further agrees that: (i) no such party will oppose the granting of an injunction or specific performance as provided herein on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity; and (ii) no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish, or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.12, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing, or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

(c)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a party to this Agreement will be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy contained in this Agreement, at Law, or in equity. The exercise by a party to this Agreement of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise by it of any other remedy; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting a party’s ability to pursue both a grant of specific performance or other equitable remedies to cause the other parties hereto to consummate the Closing and the payment of any money damages in the alternative, in no event shall a party hereto (or anyone claiming through such party’s or on such party’s behalf) be permitted or entitled to receive or retain both (i) a grant of specific performance or other equitable relief, including pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.12, and (ii) payment of all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee or Termination Fee, as applicable, or any monetary damages, remedy or award.
