Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

INTRODUCTION

Parent has agreed to cause Purchaser to commence a tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Shares”), other than the Excluded Shares and the Converted Shares, for (i) $8.55 per share, without interest and subject to reduction for any applicable withholding Taxes in accordance with Section 2.6(e) (such amount, or any higher amount per Share paid pursuant to the Offer, and as may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.1(g), the “Offer Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

As soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer, Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby (i) each issued and outstanding Share as of the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares, Converted Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, and (ii) the Company shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent as a result of the Merger.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) has unanimously (i) determined that this Agreement and the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, are fair to, and in the best interest of, the Company and its stockholders, (ii) declared it advisable to enter into this Agreement, (iii) approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, (iv) resolved that the Merger shall be effected under Section 251(h) of the DGCL, and (v) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company tender their Shares to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer (the “Company Board Recommendation”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

The board of directors of each of Parent and Purchaser have approved this Agreement and declared it advisable for Parent and Purchaser, respectively, to enter into this Agreement.

Parent, Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Merger shall be effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be consummated as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer.

AGREEMENT

The Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1

THE OFFER

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Commencement of the Offer. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 8, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement but in no event later than March 24, 2025 (subject to the Company having timely provided any information required to be provided by it pursuant to Sections 1.1(e) and 1.2(b)), Purchaser shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer to purchase all of the outstanding Shares (other than Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Sections 2.5(a)(i) and 2.5(a)(ii) (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) and other than Shares to be converted pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iii) (collectively, the “Converted Shares”)), at a price per Share equal to the Offer Price, without interest, and subject to any withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 2.6(e).

(b) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. The obligations of Purchaser to accept for payment, and pay for, any Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer are subject only to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition, the Termination Condition and the other conditions set forth in Annex I (collectively, the “Offer Conditions”). The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that contains the Offer Conditions and the other terms set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser expressly reserves the right, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, to (i) increase the Offer Price, (ii) waive any Offer Condition and (iii) make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, Parent and Purchaser shall not (A) decrease the Offer Price in a manner adverse to any holder of Shares in its capacity as such, (B) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (C) decrease the maximum number of Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (D) impose conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions, (E) amend, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, Termination Condition or the conditions set forth in clause (e) or (g) (solely in respect of any Antitrust Law) of Annex I, (F) otherwise amend or modify any of the other terms of the Offer in a manner that adversely affects, or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, individually or in the aggregate, any holder of Shares in its capacity as such or the ability of Parent or Purchaser to consummate timely the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, (G) except as provided in Sections 1.1(c) or 1.1(d), terminate the Offer or accelerate, extend or otherwise change the Expiration Date or (H) provide any “subsequent offering period” (or any extension thereof) within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Offer may not be withdrawn prior to the time at which the Offer is then scheduled to expire on the Expiration Date of the Offer, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.

(c) Expiration and Extension of the Offer. The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is twenty (20) business days (determined as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act) from the Offer Commencement Date (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company) (the “Initial Expiration Date”, and such date and time or such subsequent date and time to which the expiration of the Offer is extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the Parties’ respective termination rights under Section 8: (i) if, as of the then-scheduled time at which the Offer expires on the then-scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived by Purchaser or Parent (to the extent waivable by Purchaser or Parent), Purchaser may, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person), extend the Offer on one or more occasions, for an additional period of up to ten (10) business days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; (ii) Purchaser shall extend the Offer from time to time for: (A) any period required by any Legal Requirement, any interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof or Nasdaq applicable to the Offer; and (B) periods of up to ten (10) business days per extension, until any waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated; (iii) if, as of the then-scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition (other than (x) the Offer Condition set forth in clause (f) of Annex I and (y) the Minimum Condition) is not satisfied and has not been waived (to the extent waivable by Purchaser or Parent), at the written request of the Company, Purchaser shall extend the Offer on one or more occasions for an additional period of up to ten (10) business days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; and (iv) if, as of the then-scheduled Expiration Date, the Minimum Condition is not satisfied but all other Offer Conditions (other than the Offer Condition set forth in clause (f) of Annex I) have been satisfied or waived, at the written request of the Company, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, extend the Offer on up to two (2) occasions for an additional period of up to ten (10) business days per extension, to permit the Minimum Condition to be satisfied ; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser: (1) be required to extend the Offer beyond the earlier to occur of (x) the termination of this Agreement in compliance with Section 8 and (y) the End Date (such earlier occurrence, the “Extension Deadline”); or (2) be permitted to extend the Offer beyond the Extension Deadline without the prior written consent of the Company. Except (i) as provided in Section 1.1(d) or (ii) in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8, Purchaser shall not terminate the Offer, or permit the Offer to expire, prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company.

(d) Termination of Offer. Nothing in this Section 1.1 shall be deemed to impair, limit or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of the Company, Parent or Purchaser to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8. In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8, Purchaser shall promptly, irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any Shares pursuant to the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof.

3

(e) Offer Documents. As promptly as practicable on the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and Purchaser shall (i) file with the SEC a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer that will contain or incorporate by reference the Offer to Purchase and form of the related letter of transmittal (together with any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) cause the Offer to Purchase and related documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares as and to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. Parent and Purchaser agree that they shall cause the Offer Documents filed by either Parent or Purchaser with the SEC (x) to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable Legal Requirements and (y) to not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is made by Parent or Purchaser with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of the Acquired Corporations for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Documents. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to respond promptly to any comments (including oral comments) of the SEC or its staff and to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent and Purchaser further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. The Company consents to the inclusion of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents, provided that there has not been a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in compliance with Section 6.1(b). The Company shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Parent and Purchaser or Parent’s legal counsel all information concerning the Acquired Corporations and the Company’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(e). The Company and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents (including any response to any comments (including oral comments) of the SEC or its staff with respect thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments made by the Company or its counsel. Parent and Purchaser agree to provide the Company and its counsel with any comments (including oral comments) Parent, Purchaser or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of those comments (including oral comments).

(f) Funds. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.11, Parent shall cause to be provided to Purchaser, on a timely basis, all of the funds necessary to purchase all Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and shall cause Purchaser to perform, on a timely basis, all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement. Parent and Purchaser shall, and each of Parent and Purchaser shall ensure that all of their respective controlled Affiliates shall, tender any Shares held by them into the Offer.

(g) Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Offer Acceptance Time, the outstanding Shares are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Offer Price shall be appropriately adjusted; provided, that nothing in this Section 1.1(g) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

4

(h) Acceptance. Subject only to the satisfaction or, to the extent waivable by Purchaser or Parent, waiver by Purchaser or Parent of each of the Offer Conditions, Purchaser shall (i) promptly after the expiration of the Offer irrevocably accept for payment all Shares tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (the time of such acceptance, the “Offer Acceptance Time”) and (ii) promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days) after the Offer Acceptance Time deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent (as defined below) the Payment Fund (as defined below), in accordance with Section 2.6(a).

(i) Transfer Taxes. If the payment of the Offer Price is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the tendered Shares are registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Offer Price to a Person other than the registered holder of the Shares tendered, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Purchaser that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. None of Parent, Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation shall have any liability for the transfer and other similar Taxes described in this Section 1.1(i) under any circumstance.

1.2 Company Actions.

(a) Schedule 14D-9. As promptly as practicable on the Offer Commencement Date, following the filing of the Schedule TO that forms part of the Offer Documents, the Company shall (i) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall reflect the Company Board Recommendation (unless there has been a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in compliance with Section 6.1(b)) and include the notice and other information required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL and (ii) cause the Schedule 14D-9 and related documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares as and to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, including by setting the Stockholder List Date as the record date for purposes of receiving the notice required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL. The Company agrees that it shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 (x) to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable Legal Requirements and (y) to not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Purchaser for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to respond promptly to any comments (including oral comments) of the SEC or its staff and to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to promptly cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. Parent and Purchaser shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to the Company or the Company’s

5

legal counsel all information concerning Parent or Purchaser that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.2(a). Parent and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 (including any response to any comments (including oral comments) of the SEC or its staff with respect thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments made by Parent or its counsel. The Company agrees to provide Parent and its counsel with any comments (including oral comments) the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of those comments (including oral comments).

(b) Stockholder Lists. The Company shall promptly furnish Parent with a list of its stockholders, mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Shares and lists of securities positions of Shares held in stock depositories, in each case accurate and complete as of the most recent practicable date, and shall provide to Parent such additional information (including updated lists of stockholders, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) and such other assistance as Parent may reasonably request in connection with disseminating the Offer Documents, and any other documents necessary to consummate the Transactions, to the holders of Shares (the date of the list used to determine the Persons to whom the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 are first disseminated, which date shall not be more than ten (10) days prior to the date the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 are first disseminated, the “Stockholder List Date”). Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Transactions, Parent and Purchaser and their Representatives shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, shall not use such information in violation thereof and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request by the Company, deliver, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their agents to deliver, to the Company (or, at Parent’s option, destroy) all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession or control, and, if requested by the Company, promptly confirm to the Company in writing that all such material has been returned or destroyed.

(c) Share Registry. The Company shall register (and shall instruct its transfer agent to register) the transfer of the Shares accepted for payment by Purchaser in the Offer effective immediately after the Offer Acceptance Time.

(ii) any Shares held immediately prior to the Effective Time by Parent or Purchaser shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) any Shares held immediately prior to the Effective Time by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (other than Purchaser) or of the Company shall be converted into such number of shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation such that each such Subsidiary shall own the same percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such Subsidiary owned in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time and no other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iv) except as provided in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above and subject to Section 2.5(b), each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares, which shall have only those rights set forth in Section 2.7) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”), without any interest thereon and subject to any withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 2.6(e); and

2.6 Surrender of Certificates; Stock Transfer Books.

(a) Prior to the commencement of the Offer, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Depository Agent”) for the holders of Shares to receive the aggregate Offer Price to which holders of such Shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section 1.1(h) and to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of Shares to receive the aggregate cash Merger Consideration to which holders of such shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.5. As and when necessary to comply with its and Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Depository Agent cash sufficient to make the payment of the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 1.1(h) and to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.5 (together, the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to pay the aggregate Offer Price in the Offer and Merger Consideration in the Merger. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by the Surviving Corporation; provided that such investments shall be (w) in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, (x) in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or S&P Global, Inc., respectively, (y) in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or (z) in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three (3) months. To the extent that (i) there are any losses with respect to any such investments or (ii) the Payment Fund has diminished for any reason below the level required for the Depository Agent or Paying Agent to make prompt cash payment pursuant to Section 1.1(h) and Section 2.5, as applicable, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall promptly replace or restore the cash in the Payment Fund so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is, at all times during the duration of the Payment Fund, maintained at a level sufficient for the Depository Agent and the Paying Agent to promptly make such payments pursuant to Section 1.1(h) and Section 2.5, as applicable. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment (if any) in excess of the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be for the benefit of Parent and promptly returned to Parent.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five (5) business days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be delivered to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of (i) Shares represented by a certificate evidencing such Shares (“Certificated Shares”) or (ii) Book-Entry Shares, who, in each case (i) and (ii) was entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.5, (A) a form of letter of transmittal, which shall be in reasonable and customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificated Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the certificates evidencing such Certificated Shares (the “Certificates”) (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.6(f), if applicable) to the Paying

9

Agent, or a customary agent’s message with respect to Book-Entry Shares, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration issuable and payable in respect of such Shares pursuant to Section 2.5. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.6(f), if applicable) or Book-Entry Shares, together with such letter of transmittal in the case of Certificates, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to the instructions, the holder of such Certificated Shares or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Certificated Share or Book-Entry Share, and such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall then be cancelled. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the benefit of the holder thereof. If the payment of any Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificates formerly evidencing the Certificated Shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all 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 surrendered, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such transfer or other Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. None of Parent, Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation shall have any liability for the transfer and other similar Taxes described in this Section 2.6(b) under any circumstance. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.6, each Certificated Share and Book-Entry Share (in each case, other than Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.5.

(c) At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (with respect to the aggregate Merger Consideration to which holders of Shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.5) which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificated Shares or Book-Entry Shares (including all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Legal Requirements) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares held by them, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Certificated Shares or Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such Share to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirements. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

10

(d) At the close of business on the day of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to the Shares 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 the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Legal Requirements. 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.

(e) Each of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent and Purchaser, and their Affiliates, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause the Paying Agent or the Depository Agent to deduct and withhold) from the Offer Price, the Merger Consideration payable to any holder of the Shares or any holder of Company Options, Company RSUs or any other consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required by any Legal Requirement to deduct and withhold with respect to Taxes. Each such withholding agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any such withholding, including by requesting any necessary Tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate series of IRS Form W-8, as applicable, or any similar information.

The Board of Directors has unanimously (a) determined that this Agreement and the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, are fair to, and in the best interest of, the Company and its stockholders, (b) declared it advisable to enter into this Agreement, (c) approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, (d) resolved that the Merger shall be effected under Section 251(h) of the DGCL and (e) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their Shares to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. The resolutions in the foregoing sentence (unless, with respect to clause (e) only, there has been a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in compliance with Section 6.1(b)) have not been subsequently withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Parent. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, and by general equitable principles. Following the Offer Acceptance Time, assuming satisfaction of the Minimum Condition, no vote of the Company’s stockholders or any holder of Shares is necessary to authorize or adopt this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions.

3.22 Takeover Laws. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Parent and Purchaser set forth in the second sentence of Section 4.8, the Board of Directors has taken and will take all actions so that the restrictions applicable to business combinations contained in Section 203 of the DGCL and any other Takeover Law are, and will be, inapplicable to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and to the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions.

3.23 Non-Contravention; Consents.

(a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the Transactions will not: (i) cause a violation of any of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or other organizational documents) of any Acquired Corporation; (ii) assuming compliance with the matters set forth in Section 3.23(b), cause a

34

violation by any Acquired Corporation of any Legal Requirement or order applicable to an Acquired Corporation, or to which an Acquired Corporation is subject; (iii) require any consent or notice under, conflict with, result in breach of, or constitute a default under (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default), or give rise to any right of purchase, termination, amendment, cancellation, acceleration or other adverse change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit to which an Acquired Corporation is entitled under any provision of any material Contract; or (iv) result in an Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) on any of the property or assets of any Acquired Corporation; except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), as would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except for the filing of the certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or as may be required by the Exchange Act (including the filing with the SEC of the Schedule 14D-9 and such reports under the Exchange Act as may be required in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions), the DGCL, the HSR Act and any applicable filing, notification or approval in any foreign jurisdiction required by Antitrust Laws (if any) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and any national securities exchange, the Acquired Corporations are not required to give notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any Consent from any Governmental Body at any time prior to the Closing in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, or the consummation by the Company of the Merger or the other Transactions, except those that the failure to make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.24 Opinion of Financial Advisor. The Board of Directors has received the oral opinion of Centerview Partners LLC, financial advisor to the Company, to be subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion to the Board of Directors that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the matters set forth therein, including the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations set forth therein, the Offer Price or Merger Consideration per Share to be paid to the holders of Shares (other than Excluded Shares, Converted Shares, Dissenting Shares or any Shares held by any Affiliate of the Company or Parent) pursuant to this Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. The Company will make available to Parent solely for informational purposes and on a non-reliance basis, a signed copy of such written opinion as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement.

3.25 Brokers and Other Advisors. Except for Centerview Partners LLC, no broker, finder, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission, or the reimbursement of expenses in connection therewith, in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Company.

4.3 Authority; Binding Nature of Agreement. Parent and Purchaser each have the corporate power and authority, and has taken all corporate action necessary, to execute and deliver and perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, subject, in the case of the Merger, to the adoption of this Agreement by Parent, as sole stockholder of Purchaser (which shall occur immediately following the execution of this Agreement). The board of directors of each of Parent and Purchaser have approved the execution, delivery and performance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger.

As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within two (2) business days) following the date hereof, the Company shall request the prompt return or destruction (to the extent provided for by the applicable confidentiality agreement) of all non-public information previously furnished to any Person (other than Parent and Parent’s Representatives) that has, within the one (1)-year period prior to the date of this Agreement, made or indicated an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal and the Company shall, and shall cause the other Acquired Corporations to, within one (1) business day following the date hereof, terminate access by any third Person who has made or could reasonably be expected to make an Acquisition Proposal (other than Parent and its Representatives) to any data room (virtual or actual) managed by or on behalf of the Company containing any confidential information of any Acquired Corporation.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, if at any time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Offer Acceptance Time any Acquired Corporation or any of their Representatives receives an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Person or group of Persons, which Acquisition Proposal was made or renewed after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and did not result from or arise out of a breach of this Section 5.3 or Section 6.1, if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Offer, then the Company and its Representatives may (i) furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) with respect to the Acquired Corporations to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Acquisition Proposal and the Representatives of such Person or group of Persons; provided that the Company shall substantially concurrently provide to Parent any information concerning the Acquired Corporations that is provided to any Person to the extent access to such information was not previously provided to Parent or its Representatives and (ii) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal and the Representatives of such Person or group of Persons. The Company shall provide Parent with an accurate, unredacted and complete copy of any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into as contemplated by this Section 5.3 promptly (and in any event within one (1) day) of the execution thereof.

45

(d) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall (i) promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent if any requests, inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or any initial request for non-public information concerning the Company from any Person or group who has made or would reasonably be expected to make an Acquisition Proposal, in each case, are received by any Acquired Corporation or any Representative thereof and provide to Parent an unredacted copy of any written requests, inquiries, proposals or offers or other materials, including proposed agreements and summaries of the terms and conditions of any oral requests, inquiries, proposals or offers (including any proposed term sheet, letter of intent, acquisition agreement or similar agreement with respect thereto), the name of such Person or group and a summary of any material unwritten terms and conditions thereof, and the nature of any information requested, (ii) keep Parent reasonably informed of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or any requests, inquiries, proposals or offers that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (including by furnishing copies of any further amendments thereto) on a prompt basis (and in any event within 24 hours of such material development, discussion or negotiation), and (iii) upon the request of Parent, reasonably inform Parent of the status of such Acquisition Proposal.

(e) Nothing in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Board of Directors determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, that this Section 5.3 shall not be deemed to permit a Company Adverse Change Recommendation except to the extent permitted by Section 6.1(b).

(f) The Company agrees that in the event any Acquired Corporation or any Representative of an Acquired Corporation takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.3, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.3.

SECTION 6

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

6.1 Company Board Recommendation.

(a) Unless the Board of Directors has made a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.1(b), the Company hereby consents to the inclusion of a description of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents. During the Pre-Closing Period, unless the Board of Directors has made a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.1(b), neither the Board of Directors nor

46

any committee thereof shall (i)(A) withdraw or withhold (or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser), or publicly propose to withdraw or withhold (or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser), the Company Board Recommendation, (B) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 or (C) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or publicly propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Change Recommendation”) or (ii) adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose to adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow the Company to execute or enter into any Contract with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or Contract that would require, or would reasonably be expected to cause, the Company to abandon, terminate, delay or fail to consummate, or that would otherwise materially impede, interfere with or be inconsistent with, the Transactions (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.1(a), at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time:

(i) if the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that was made or renewed after the date of this Agreement from any Person that has not been withdrawn and after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, the Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer, (x) the Board of Directors may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, or (y) if such bona fide written Acquisition Proposal did not result from or arise out of a material breach of this Agreement, the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) to enter into a Specified Agreement with respect to such Superior Offer, in each case under (x) or (y), only if: (A) the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; (B) the Company shall have given Parent prior written notice of its intention to consider making a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) at least five (5) business days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation or termination (a “Determination Notice”) (which notice shall not in and of itself constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or termination) and, to the extent desired by Parent, during such five (5)-business day period shall have negotiated in good faith with respect to any revisions to the terms of this Agreement or another proposal, to the extent proposed by Parent, so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Offer; and (C) (1) the Company shall have provided to Parent the information with respect to such Acquisition Proposal required by Section 5.3(d), complied with this Section 6.1 and, solely in the case of clause (y) of this Section 6.1(b)(i), otherwise complied with Section 5.3, in each case in relation to such Acquisition Proposal, (2) the Company shall have given Parent the five (5)-business day period after the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Offer, and (3) after giving effect to the proposals made by Parent during such period, if any, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, the Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer and, after

47

consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements. Issuance of any “stop, look and listen” communication by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act shall not be considered a Company Adverse Change Recommendation and shall not require the giving of a Determination Notice or compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.1. The provisions of this Section 6.1(b)(i) shall also apply to any change to any of the financial terms (including the form, amount and timing of payment of consideration) or any other material amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal and shall require a new Determination Notice, except that the references to five (5) business days shall be deemed to be three (3) business days; and

(ii) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Board of Directors may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event only if: (A) the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; (B) the Company shall have given Parent a Determination Notice at least five (5) business days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation and, to the extent desired by Parent, during such five (5)-business day period shall have negotiated in good faith with respect to any revisions to the terms of this Agreement or another proposal to the extent proposed by Parent so that a Company Adverse Change Recommendation would no longer be necessary; and (C) (1) the Company shall have specified in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances underlying the Intervening Event that render a Company Adverse Change Recommendation necessary, (2) the Company shall have given Parent the five (5)-business day period after the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal so that a Company Adverse Change Recommendation would no longer be necessary, and (3) after giving effect to the proposals made by Parent during such period, if any, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, the Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements. The provisions of this Section 6.1(b)(ii) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances underlying such Intervening Event and require a new Determination Notice, except that for purposes of such subsequent Determination Notice, the references to five (5) business days shall be deemed to be three (3) business days.

6.2 Filings, Consents and Approvals.

(a) The Parties agree to use their reasonable best efforts to take promptly any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the Antitrust Laws, that may be asserted by any Governmental Body or any other party, so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable, but in no case later than the End Date, including providing as promptly as reasonably practicable all information required by any Governmental Body pursuant to its evaluation of the Transactions under the HSR Act or other applicable

48

Antitrust Laws. In furtherance of the foregoing, (1) Parent shall take, and shall cause its Affiliates to take, and (2) the Company and its Subsidiaries will, solely to the extent directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, take any and all steps necessary or advisable to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Legal Requirement that may be asserted by any Governmental Body or any other Person so as to enable the parties to expeditiously consummate the Transactions, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and consenting to any divestiture, sale, disposition, hold separate order or other structural or conduct relief, or other operational undertakings, in order to obtain clearance from any Governmental Body; provided however, that Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries will not be required, either pursuant to this Section 6.2 or otherwise under this Agreement, to submit to any remedy that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to (i) impact Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Acquired Corporations) in an adverse manner or amount that is material relative to the value of the Company, (ii) materially reduce the reasonably anticipated benefits to Parent (including anticipated synergies) of the Transactions or (iii) have any impact on the assets, business or portions of the business of Parent or its Affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt without limiting clauses (i) and (ii), other than the Acquired Corporations). The Company shall further only be required to take or commit to take any such remedy action, or agree to any such condition or restriction, if such action, commitment, agreement, condition or restriction is binding on the Company only in the event the Closing occurs. The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party under Antitrust Laws in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that could restrain, delay, or prevent the Closing by the End Date. Subject to compliance with its obligations in this Section 6.2, Parent shall be entitled, upon reasonable consultation in advance with the Company and in good faith consideration of the views of the Company, to direct the strategy for all matters with any Governmental Body, including committing to or agreeing with any Governmental Body to enter into a timing agreement, stop the clock, stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period or withdraw and refile its Notification and Report form as required by the HSR Act, or enter into any similar timing agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, provided however, that Parent may only elect to pull and refile up to one time the filing of a Notification and Report form without the Company’s prior written consent.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates, if applicable, to): (i) promptly, but in no event later than twenty (20) business days after the date hereof, make an appropriate filing of all notification and report forms as required by the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions and (ii) cooperate with each other in determining whether, and promptly preparing and making, any other filings, notifications or other consents are required to be made with, or obtained from, any other Governmental Bodies in connection with the Transactions.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.2, during the Pre-Closing Period, each Party shall (i) give the other Parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding brought by a Governmental Body or brought by a third party before any Governmental Body, in each case, with respect to the Transactions under the Antitrust Laws, (ii) keep the other Parties

49

reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, (iii) promptly inform the other Parties of, and wherever practicable give the other Parties reasonable advance notice of, and the opportunity to participate in, any communication to or from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Body in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, (iv) promptly furnish to the other Parties, subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to limit disclosure to counsel and outside consultants, copies of documents provided to or received from any Governmental Body in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding (other than “Transaction-Related Documents,” and “Plans and Reports” as those term are used in the rules and regulations under the HSR Act, that contain valuation information (which can be redacted)), (v) subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to limit disclosure to counsel and outside consultants, and to the extent reasonably practicable, consult and cooperate with the other Parties and consider in good faith the views of the other Parties in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, and (vi) except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any Legal Requirement, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding in respect of the Transactions, give the other party reasonable advance notice of, and permit authorized Representatives of the other Party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Body in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.2, the Parties may redact materials provided to one another (A) to remove competitively sensitive information or information concerning valuation; (B) as necessary to comply with Legal Requirements and Contracts (so long as the Acquired Corporations have reasonably cooperated with Parent and used reasonable best efforts to permit disclosure to the extent permitted by such Legal Requirements or Contracts); and (C) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client privilege or other privilege or confidentiality concerns (so long as the Acquired Corporations have reasonably cooperated with Parent and used reasonable best efforts to disclose such information on a basis that does not waive such privilege with respect thereto).

6.3 Employee Benefits. For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who is employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continues to be actively employed by the Surviving Corporation (or any Affiliate thereof, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Parent’s Affiliates) during such one (1)-year period (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with (i) a base salary or wage rate that is no less than that provided to such Continuing Employee by any Acquired Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) target cash incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those provided to such Continuing Employee by any Acquired Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) other compensation and employee benefits (excluding any equity incentive compensation, employee stock purchase plan benefits, retention payments, change in control benefits and nonqualified deferred compensation benefits) that in the aggregate are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employee by any Acquired Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing:

50

(a) Parent shall cause all Continuing Employees to be eligible to continue to participate in the Surviving Corporation’s health and welfare benefit plans (to the same extent such Continuing Employees were eligible to participate under the Company’s health and welfare benefit plans immediately prior to the Effective Time); provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any such health or welfare benefit plan at any time and (ii) if Parent or the Surviving Corporation terminates any such health or welfare benefit plan then the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in the Surviving Corporation’s (or an Affiliate’s, including, for the avoidance of doubt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s and Parent’s Affiliates’) corresponding health and welfare benefit plan. To the extent that service is relevant for eligibility or vesting under any benefit plan of Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation, then Parent shall ensure that such benefit plan shall, for purposes of eligibility and vesting, and for purposes of benefit accrual under severance plans (but not for purposes of any other benefit accruals), credit Continuing Employees for service prior to the Effective Time with the Company and its Affiliates or their respective predecessors to the same extent that such service was recognized prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding benefit plan of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits, and Parent and its Affiliates shall not be required to provide credit for any purpose under any cash or equity incentive plan, defined benefit pension plan, postretirement welfare plan or any plan under which similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates do not receive credit for prior service or that is grandfathered or frozen. In addition, Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation shall credit each Continuing Employee with paid time off equal to the accrued paid time off such Continuing Employee had accrued with the Company that was unused as of the Effective Time; provided that Parent may, in its discretion, pay out such accrued but unused paid time off balances in cash in one or more installments.

(b) Following the Effective Time, Parent or an Affiliate of Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations otherwise applicable to Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under any plan of Parent or an Affiliate that provides health benefits in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate following the Effective Time, other than any limitations that were in effect with respect to such employees immediately prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding Employee Plan, (ii) honor any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under the health plans in which they participated immediately prior to transitioning into a plan of Parent or an Affiliate during the portion of the plan year prior to such transition in satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under health plans of Parent or an Affiliate and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents on or after the Effective Time, in each case to the extent such Continuing Employee or eligible dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Employee Plan prior to the Effective Time.

51

(c) Parent shall provide, or shall cause its Affiliates to provide, each Continuing Employee who experiences a qualifying termination of employment from Parent or any of their respective Affiliates during the Continuation Period with severance benefits that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those that would have been provided to such Continuing Employee by any Acquired Corporation under the applicable severance policies set forth on Section 6.3(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule had such termination occurred prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Between the date hereof and the Effective Time, any notices or communication materials (including website postings), and the script or other materials for any town hall meetings or other verbal communications, from the Company or its Affiliates to its employees with respect to employment, compensation or benefits matters addressed in this Agreement or related, directly or indirectly, to the Merger or employment thereafter, shall be disclosed in advance to Parent to give Parent a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication and Parent’s comments shall be considered in good faith by the Company; provided, that no such disclosure shall be required for any communications that are consistent in all respects with previous communications made in accordance with this Agreement.

(e) If requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in writing delivered to the Company not less than ten (10) business days before the Closing Date, the Board of Directors (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions and take such corporate action as is necessary or appropriate to terminate the Company 401(k) plan, effective as of the day prior to the earlier to occur of the Closing Date or the date on which falls the Offer Acceptance Time. The form and substance of such resolutions and any other actions taken in connection with the foregoing termination shall be subject to the advance review and approval of Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Following the Effective Time, Parent shall permit the Continuing Employees who are actively employed as of such time to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code (including loans), in the form of cash, in an amount equal to the full account balance (including loans) distributed to such Continuing Employee from the Company 401(k) plan to the Parent 401(k) plan.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.3 are solely for the benefit of the Parties, and no provision of this Section 6.3 is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise, and no current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of the Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof. Nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any Person to employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Affiliate of the Surviving Corporation or to any compensation or benefits and the employment of each Continuing Employee shall be “at will” employment.

52

6.4 ESPP. The Company shall take all actions necessary pursuant to the terms of the Company ESPP to provide that (i) no new offering period will be commenced following the date hereof under the Company ESPP, (ii) there shall be no increase in the amount of participants’ payroll deduction elections under the Company ESPP during the current offering period from those in effect as of the date of this Agreement, (iii) no individuals shall commence participation in the Company ESPP during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, (iv) each purchase right issued pursuant to the Company ESPP under the purchase period ongoing as of the date hereof shall be fully exercised not later than five (5) business days prior to the Effective Time or, if such purchase period is not scheduled to end by no later than five (5) business days prior to the Effective Time, cause any payroll contributions accumulated by participants pursuant to the Company ESPP with respect to such purchase period to be refunded to such participants by the Company no later than the Effective Time, and (v) the Company ESPP shall terminate effective upon the Effective Time.

6.5 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time) now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of any Acquired Corporation pursuant to the organizational documents of any Acquired Corporation, and any indemnification or other similar agreements of any Acquired Corporation set forth in Section 6.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and the Acquired Corporations shall perform their obligations thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, to indemnify and hold harmless each individual who is as of the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of any Acquired Corporation or who is as of the date of this Agreement, or who thereafter commences prior to the Effective Time, serving at the request of any Acquired Corporation as a director or officer of another Person (the “Indemnified Persons”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of any Acquired Corporation or is or was serving at the request of any Acquired Corporation as a director or officer of another Person, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements. In the event of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, pay, in advance of the final disposition of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, any expenses incurred in defense thereof by the Indemnified Person upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to the preceding sentence.

53

(b) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall either cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’, employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by or for the benefit of the Acquired Corporations or provide substitute policies for the Acquired Corporations and their current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’, employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Acquired Corporations, in either case, of not less than the existing coverage in the aggregate and having other terms not less favorable in the aggregate to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’, employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Acquired Corporations with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time, except that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies more than 300% of the aggregate annual premium most recently paid by the Acquired Corporations prior to the date hereof (the “Maximum Amount”), and if the Surviving Corporation is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section 6.5(b) it shall obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for the years within such six (6)-year period for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In lieu of such insurance, prior to the Effective Time the Company may, at its option, purchase (and, if the Company does not purchase prior to the Effective Time, then Parent or the Purchaser may purchase) a “tail” directors’ and officers’, employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance policy for the Acquired Corporations and their current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’, employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Acquired Corporations, such tail to provide coverage in an amount not less in the aggregate than the existing coverage and to have other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’, employment practices and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by or for the benefit of the Acquired Corporations with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided that in no event shall the cost of any such tail policy exceed the Maximum Amount. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such tail policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(c) In the event that any Acquired Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or Entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the Acquired Corporation, as applicable, shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of such Acquired Corporation assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.5.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.5 (i) shall survive the Offer Acceptance Time and the Effective Time, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person, his or her heirs, successors, assigns and representatives, and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, exculpation or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. Unless required by applicable Legal Requirement, this Section 6.5 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Offer Acceptance Time in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person or any of their successors, assigns or heirs without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Person.

54

6.6 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any Transaction Litigation and shall keep Parent reasonably and promptly informed with respect to the status thereof. The Company will (a) 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 with respect to Transaction Litigation prior to such filing or submission, and the Company shall consider such comments in good faith, (b) give Parent a reasonable opportunity to review in advance all materials proposed to be delivered by or on behalf of the Company in connection with any discovery or document production with respect to such Transaction Litigation, (c) give Parent the opportunity to participate in (but not control) the defense, settlement or prosecution of any Transaction Litigation and (d) consult with Parent with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any Transaction Litigation. The Company may not compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, any Transaction Litigation unless Parent has consented thereto in writing (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.7 Additional Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 6.2(a), Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger and make effective the other Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party to this Agreement shall use reasonable best efforts to (a) make all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such Party pursuant to any Material Contract in connection with the Offer and the Merger and the other Transactions, (b) seek each Consent (if any) required to be obtained pursuant to any Material Contract by such Party in connection with the Transactions to the extent requested in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and (c) seek to lift any restraint, injunction or other legal bar to the Offer or the Merger brought by any third Person against such Party.
