ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall cause Merger Sub to merge with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will continue its corporate existence under Delaware Law as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent.

Section 1.2 Effective Time of Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL in order to effectuate the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed by the Company and Merger Sub in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.3 General Effects of Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

Section 1.4 Effect of Merger on Capital Stock. 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 securities of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, any certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

2

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Cancelled Shares, Dissenting Shares and Earnout Shares, shall be converted automatically into the right to receive $1.14 per share of Company Common Stock in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest thereon and subject to Section 2.5. All shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 1.4(b) shall be automatically cancelled and cease to exist on the conversion thereof, and uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) and each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Book-Entry Share or Certificate have been converted pursuant to this Section 1.4(b).

(c) Treatment of Cancelled Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise), Parent or Merger Sub or any of their direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (such shares, the “Cancelled Shares”).

(d) Treatment of Dissenting Shares. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if required by the DGCL (but only to the extent required thereby), shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled Shares and Earnout Shares) and that are held by holders of such shares who have not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who have properly exercised and validly perfected appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any such shares held by any such holder (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 receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with, but only if, as and when required by, the provisions of such Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its rights to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such rights, such Dissenting Shares shall thereafter be no longer considered Dissenting Shares under this Agreement and shall be treated as if they had been converted into, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon and subject to Section 2.5, in accordance with Section 1.4(b). At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and as provided in the previous sentence. The Company shall notify Parent promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, of any demands received by the Company for appraisals of shares of Company Common Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL in connection with the Merger and afford Parent the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands and the Company shall consider in good faith comments or suggestions proposed by Parent with respect to such demands. The Company shall not make any payment with respect to any such demands for appraisal or settle any such demands without the prior written consent of Parent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall not require the Company to make any payment with respect to any such demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

3

(e) Treatment of Earnout Shares. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Earnout Share shall be deemed forfeited and automatically cancelled and cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(f) Treatment of Warrants.

(i) At the Effective Time in accordance with that certain Warrant Agreement, dated November 23, 2020, by and between L&F Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and predecessor to the Company, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Public/Private Warrant Agreement”), each Public/Private Warrant that is unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent a warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock and instead represent a right by the holder thereof upon any subsequent exercise, to receive only the Merger Consideration, if any, in respect of each share of Company Common Stock for which such Public/Private Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Closing; provided, that the exercise price for the holder of any Public/Private Warrant that exercises such Public/Private Warrant within thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the Closing pursuant to a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC shall be reduced as provided for in the last proviso of the first sentence of Section 4.4 of the Warrant Agreement.

(ii) At the Effective Time in accordance with that certain Warrant To Purchase Common Stock, dated April 21,2023, executed by the Company in favor of Stifel Bank (the “Stifel Warrant Agreement”), each Stifel Warrant shall automatically terminate and be cancelled and extinguished and no consideration shall be payable with respect to such Stifel Warrant.

(iii) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall provide, in accordance with the terms of each Public/Private Warrant and each Stifel Warrant, any notices required to be provided to the holder of such Public/Private Warrant or such Stifel Warrant, the form of which shall be given to Parent and its counsel for a reasonable opportunity to review and comment before such notice is provided to the holder of such Public/Private Warrant or Stifel Warrant, and take all such other actions that may be required in accordance with the terms of such Public/Private Warrant and the Stifel Warrants in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement prior to the Effective Time.

(g) Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class or series of shares by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, then the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change.

Section 1.5 Effect of Merger on Company Equity Awards.

(a) Company Options.

(i) At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is vested in accordance with its terms and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company Option”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be deemed exercised on a cashless basis and exchanged for the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the excess, if any, of (I) the Merger Consideration over (II) the per-share exercise price for such Vested Company Option, by (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Vested Company Option (such aggregate amount, the “Vested Company Option Consideration”), subject to Section 2.5; provided, however, that if the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Vested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Vested Company Option shall be cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof.

(ii) At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is not a Vested Company Option (each, an “Unvested Company Option”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the excess, if any, of (I) the Merger Consideration over (II) the per-share exercise price for such Unvested Company Option, by (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Unvested Company Option (such aggregate amount, the “Unvested Company Option Consideration”), subject to Section 2.5; provided, however, that if the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Unvested Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Unvested Company Option shall be cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof. Such Unvested Company Option Consideration amounts will vest and become payable at the same time as the Company Option from which such Unvested Company Option Consideration was converted would have vested and been payable pursuant to its terms and shall otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the underlying Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of the Unvested Company Option Consideration amounts, provided that no such changes shall materially impair the rights of the applicable holder of Unvested Company Option Consideration), including, without limitation, any obligation to continue service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, with respect to their receipt of the Unvested Company Option Consideration.

5

(b) Company RSUs.

(i) At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and either is (A) held by a non-employee member of the Company Board or (B) vested in accordance with its terms as of the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company RSU”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU, by (y) the Merger Consideration (the “Vested Company RSU Consideration”), subject to Section 2.5.

(ii) At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and not a Vested Company RSU shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU, by (y) the Merger Consideration (such aggregate amount, the “Unvested Company RSU Consideration”), subject to Section 2.5. Such Unvested Company RSU Consideration amounts will vest and become payable at the same time as the Company RSU from which such Unvested Company RSU Consideration was converted would have vested and been payable pursuant to its terms and shall otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the underlying Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of the Unvested Company RSU Consideration amounts, provided that no such changes shall materially impair the rights of the applicable holder of Unvested Company RSU Consideration) with respect to their receipt of the Unvested Company RSU Consideration.

(c) Treatment of Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company never implemented the Company ESPP and as soon as practicable (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to terminate the Company ESPP effective immediately prior to, but contingent upon the occurrence of, the Effective Time. The Company shall deliver copies of any resolutions adopted to Parent promptly following the adoption thereof and keep Parent reasonably informed of any other actions taken in connection with the termination of the Company ESPP.

(d) Certain Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, acting through the Company Board, shall take or cause to be taken, all actions, and provide all notices that are required to effectuate the terms of this Section 1.5. All Company Equity Plans (other than the agreements underlying, and the terms of the Company Equity Plans applicable to, the Unvested Company Option Consideration and the Unvested Company RSU Consideration, in each case, solely to the extent relevant to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.5) will terminate as of the Effective Time and the Company will take all action necessary to effect the foregoing. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that following the Effective Time no participant in any such Company Equity Plans will have any right thereunder to acquire any equity securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Following the date hereof, the Company shall provide to Parent or its counsel for review and approval drafts of any documentation prepared by the Company or its counsel to effectuate the foregoing and shall consider in good faith Parent’s timely comments thereto.

(a) Certificate of Incorporation of Surviving Corporation. Subject to Section 7.8, at the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (but amended so that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “ZeroFox Holdings, Inc.”) shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation.

No interest shall be paid or accrued on any amount payable on due surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) 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 surrendered or shall have established that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid, in each case, to the satisfaction of Parent.

Except as disclosed in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure schedules delivered by Parent to the Company concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “Parent Disclosure Schedules”) (it being acknowledged and hereby agreed that disclosure of any information in any section or subsection of the Parent Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed disclosed with respect to any other section or subsection of this Agreement and the Parent Disclosure Schedules to the extent that the relevance thereof is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure), Parent and Merger Sub hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Company as follows:

Parent has delivered to the Company prior to the date of this Agreement a true, correct and complete copy of the certificates of incorporation and bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents of Parent and Merger Sub, each as amended through the date of this Agreement, and neither Parent nor Merger Sub is in violation of its respective organizational documents.

Section 4.2 Authority; Enforceability.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of Parent has approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger and the Equity Financing, and the board of directors of Merger Sub has unanimously (i) determined that it is in the best interests of Merger Sub and its sole stockholder, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement, (ii) authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, and (iii) resolved to recommended that Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, adopt this Agreement and directed that such matter be submitted for consideration of the sole stockholder of Merger Sub.

35

(b) Except for the adoption of this Agreement by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub (which such adoption shall occur immediately following the execution of this Agreement and be delivered to the Company immediately following execution of this Agreement) and the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, no other corporate or similar proceedings on the part of Parent or Merger Sub are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. No vote of the equityholders of Parent or the holders of any other securities of Parent (equity or otherwise) is required by any applicable Law, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents of Parent in order for Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Merger Sub and, assuming this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company, this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

Section 4.3 Consents and Approvals; No Violation.

(a) The execution, delivery and performance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby by Parent and Merger Sub do not and will not require Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Subsidiaries to procure, make or provide prior to the Closing Date any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, action by, filing with or notification to any Governmental Entity or other third party, other than (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger, (ii) compliance with the HSR Act, and (iii) compliance with any applicable requirements of any other Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws set forth on Section 2.2(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedules (the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, the “Parent Approvals”), and other than any consent, approval, authorization, permit, action, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Assuming compliance with the matters referenced in Section 4.3(a) and receipt of the Parent Approvals and adoption of this Agreement by Parent as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, the execution, delivery and performance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Merger Sub of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not (i) contravene or conflict with the organizational or governing documents of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) contravene or conflict with or constitute a violation of any provision of any Law binding on or applicable to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, (iii) result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration under any Contract, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, right or license binding on Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (iv) result in the creation of any lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the properties or assets of Parent or Merger Sub, other than in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, any such contravention, conflict, violation, default, termination, cancellation, acceleration, right, loss or Lien that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.4 Equity Financing.

(a) Parent and certain of its controlled Affiliates are a party to and has accepted a fully executed equity commitment letter, dated as of the date of this Agreement, between each Equity Investor and Parent (the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, each Equity Investor has agreed to invest in Parent the amount set forth therein. The equity financing committed pursuant to the Commitment Letter is referred to in this Agreement as the “Equity Financing.” The Commitment Letter provides that the Company is an express third-party beneficiary of the Commitment Letter, and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, entitled to enforce the Commitment Letter.

(b) As of the date hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has delivered to the Company a true, correct and complete copy of the executed Commitment Letter.

(c) Except as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of each Equity Investor to provide the Equity Financing contemplated to be funded on the Closing Date or any contingencies that would permit either Equity Investor to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Equity Financing contemplated to be funded on the Closing Date. As of the date hereof, assuming the conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b) are satisfied, Parent does not have any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis all terms and conditions to be satisfied by it in the Commitment Letter on or prior to the Closing Date, nor does Parent have knowledge as of the date hereof that either Equity Investor will not perform its obligations thereunder. There are no side letters, understandings or other agreements, contracts or arrangements of any kind relating to the Commitment Letter, except as set forth in the Commitment Letter.

(d) The Equity Financing, if funded in accordance with the Commitment Letter, shall provide Parent with cash proceeds on the Closing Date sufficient for the satisfaction on the Closing Date of all of Parent’s obligations under this Agreement and the Commitment Letter to be funded on the Closing Date, including the payment of the Merger Consideration payable on the Closing Date, and any fees and expenses of or payable by Parent or Merger Sub or Parent’s other Affiliates, and for any repayment or refinancing of any outstanding indebtedness of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries contemplated by, or required in connection with the transactions described in, this Agreement or the Commitment Letter (such amounts, collectively, the “Financing Amounts”). From and after the Closing Date, Parent, together with the Surviving Corporation, will have sufficient cash on hand or other sources of immediately available funds to enable it to settle conversions or effect repurchases or repayments of the Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture.

(e) As of the date hereof, the Commitment Letter constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Parent and its applicable Affiliates and, to the Knowledge of Parent, any other parties thereto and are in full force and effect. To the Knowledge of Parent, as of the date hereof and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties in ARTICLE 3 (subject to all qualifications or limitations on such representations and warranties), no event has occurred which (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) would constitute a breach or failure to satisfy a condition by Parent under the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter. As of the date hereof, the Commitment Letter has not been modified, amended or altered and none of the respective commitments thereunder have been terminated, reduced, withdrawn or rescinded in any respect and, to the Knowledge of Parent, assuming the conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b) are satisfied, there is no basis for termination, reduction, withdrawal or rescission thereof.

37

(f) In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Equity Financing) by Parent or any of its Affiliates or any other financing be a condition to any of Parent’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 4.5 Limited Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has delivered to the Company a true, correct and complete copy of the limited guarantee addressed to the Company from each Equity Investor guaranteeing certain of the payment obligations of Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement on the terms set forth therein (the “Limited Guarantee”). As of the date hereof, the Limited Guarantee is valid and in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Equity Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to the Enforceability Exceptions). As of the date hereof, neither Equity Investor is in default or breach under the terms and conditions of the Limited Guarantee and no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach or a failure to satisfy a condition under the terms and conditions of the Limited Guarantee. Each Equity Investor has, and at all times will have, access to sufficient capital to satisfy in full the full amount of the guaranteed obligations under the Limited Guarantee.

Section 4.6 Capitalization of Merger Sub. The authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists of 100 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, all of which are validly issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Merger Sub is, and immediately prior to the Effective Time will be, owned by Parent. Merger Sub does not have outstanding any option, warrant, right or any other agreement pursuant to which any Person may acquire any equity security of Merger Sub. Merger Sub has been formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated hereby and has not conducted any business prior to the date of this Agreement and has, and prior to the Effective Time will have, no assets, liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those incident to its formation and pursuant to this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.7 Investigations; Litigation. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect, as of the date of this Agreement, (a) there is no investigation or review pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened by any Governmental Entity with respect to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates; and (b) there are no Actions pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against or affecting Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or properties at law or in equity, and there are no Orders of any Governmental Entity against or affecting Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or properties.

Section 4.9 Finders or Brokers. Except as set forth on Section 4.9 of the Parent Disclosure Schedules, neither Parent nor any Subsidiary of Parent (including Merger Sub) has employed or engaged any investment banker, broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement who would be entitled to any fee or any commission from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with or on consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE 6

NO SOLICITATION

Section 6.1 No Solicitation; Alternative Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.1, commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the Effective Time and the Termination Date, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors and officers not to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause their respective other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, induce, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the making or submission of any offer, proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any offer, proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal with, or furnish any nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries to, any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives) relating to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or any offer, proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in or lead to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal (except, in each case, to notify such Person as to the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.1), or afford any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives) access to the businesses, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel, of the Company or its Subsidiaries for the purpose of encouraging, inducing or facilitating or otherwise relating to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or any offer, proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in or lead to an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve, endorse or recommend any offer, proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, or other acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement with respect to any offer, proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected

46

to result in or lead to, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal (except for an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement permitted hereunder). Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.1, commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the Effective Time and the Termination Date, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers and directors to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives to, (A) immediately following the execution of this Agreement, cease and cause to be terminated any solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any Person and its Representatives (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives) relating to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or any offer, proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, (B) immediately following the execution of this Agreement, cease providing any information with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries to any Person or its Representatives relating to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or any offer, proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal and (C) promptly (but in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours following the execution of this Agreement) terminate all access granted to any Person and its Representatives (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives) to any physical or electronic data room (or any other diligence access), and request that each Person (other than Parent and Merger Sub) that has executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or any offer, proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal, return or destroy all confidential information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the applicable confidentiality agreement. Commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the Effective Time and the Termination Date, the Company shall enforce to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, and will not waive, release, terminate, assign or modify any standstill provision or confidentiality agreement that prohibits or purports to prohibit a proposal being made to the Company Board; provided, that the Company may waive a standstill or similar agreement solely to the extent necessary to allow for an Alternative Acquisition Proposal to be made to the Company Board in a confidential manner so long as (I) the Company notifies Parent thereof (including the circumstances related thereto and the identify of such counterparty) concurrently with granting any such waiver and (II) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that the failure to take such action (x) would prohibit the counterparty from making an Alternative Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board and (y) would be inconsistent with directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under Delaware Law.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.1(a) to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if the Company receives a bona fide written Alternative Acquisition Proposal from a third party that was not solicited or received in response to, or as a result of, a breach of Section 6.1(a), (i) the Company and its Representatives may contact the third party making such Alternative Acquisition Proposal solely to clarify the terms and conditions thereof, and (ii) if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal and financial advisors, that such Alternative Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to take the actions contemplated by clause (A) or clause (B) of this Section 6.1(b) would be inconsistent with directors’ fiduciary duties under Delaware Law,

47

then the Company may: (A) engage in discussions or negotiations with such third party (including its Representatives and potential equity and debt financing sources) with respect to such Alternative Acquisition Proposal, and (B) furnish nonpublic information to such third party making such Alternative Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives and potential equity and debt financing sources) if, prior to so furnishing such information, the third party has executed an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with the Company; provided, that the Company provides to Parent and Merger Sub (and their respective Representatives) any information or data that is provided to such third party that was not previously made available to Parent or Merger Sub prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such third party (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in any event within twenty-four (24) hours).

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this ARTICLE 6 by any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company. The Company will not authorize, direct or knowingly permit any Representative of the Company or its Subsidiaries to breach this ARTICLE 6, and, upon becoming aware of any breach or threatened breach of this ARTICLE 6 by a Representative of the Company, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to stop such breach or threatened breach.

Section 6.2 Notices. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent orally and in writing (including, for this purposes, via electronic mail) of any offer, proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal received by the Company or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives which shall identify the material terms and conditions thereof, and the Person or group of Persons making such offer, proposal inquiry or request and include true, correct and complete (unredacted) copies of all documents and other written materials containing any substantive terms relating to such offer, proposal inquiry or request (including any letter of intent, term sheet or draft or definitive agreement). The Company shall keep Parent fully informed on a prompt (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) basis of the status or material developments (including all amendments or proposed amendments, whether or not in writing) with respect to, or any material change to the terms of, any such offer, proposal, inquiry or request that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, an Alternative Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that any change to the financial terms of such offer, proposal, inquiry or request shall be deemed a material change), including by promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) providing true, correct and complete copies of any letter of intent, term sheet, draft or definitive agreement or additional written materials containing any substantive terms relating to such offer, proposal inquiry or request received by the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives with respect to such offer, proposal, inquiry or request (provided that the Company may provide Parent a redacted copy of any debt commitment fee letter, to the extent unredacted copies thereof are not made available to the Company). Without limiting the parties’ rights and obligations under Section 7.3(e), it is understood and agreed that any contacts, disclosures, discussions or negotiations expressly permitted under Section 6.1(b) and undertaken in compliance with Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.1(b), shall not (in and of itself) constitute a Change of Recommendation or otherwise constitute a basis for Parent to terminate this Agreement.

In the event that any information in the filings submitted pursuant to this Section 7.2 or any such supplemental information furnished in connection therewith is deemed confidential by either Party, the Parties shall maintain the confidentiality of the same, and the Parties shall seek authorization from the applicable Governmental Entity to withhold such information from public view. Except as expressly contemplated by the Commitment Letter, nothing in this Section or any other provision of this Agreement shall require any investment funds or investment vehicles affiliated with, or managed, or advised by entities affiliated with the Parent, to agree or otherwise be required to take any action (it being understood that nothing in the Commitment Letter requires any investment funds or investment vehicles affiliated with, or managed, or advised by entities affiliated with the Parent to agree to or otherwise take any action with respect to the Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations under Section 7.2).

The Company agrees not to participate in any meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone or videoconference, with any Governmental Entity in connection with the proposed transactions unless it consults with the Parent and Merger Sub in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the Parent and Merger Sub the opportunity to attend and participate.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the other covenants of the parties contained in this Section 7.2, but subject to Section 7.2(a), if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Law, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate in all respects with each other and, subject to Section 7.2(a), shall contest and resist any such Action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Action, decree, judgment, injunction or other Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.3 Company Stockholder Approval.

(a) The Company shall prepare and, within twenty five (25) Business Days after the date hereof, file with the SEC a preliminary Proxy Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be in breach of this Section 7.3(a) to the extent that any delay in filing the preliminary Proxy Statement is primarily caused by Parent or Merger Sub’s failure to comply with their obligations under this Section 7.3(a) in any material respects. The Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in the preparation of the preliminary Proxy Statement and furnish all information concerning itself and its Affiliates that is required in connection with the preparation of the preliminary Proxy Statement. Subject to applicable Law, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the filing of the preliminary Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any dissemination of the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) to the stockholders of the Company, or responding to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such document or response, and the Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments proposed by Parent. The Company shall respond promptly to any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The Company shall notify Parent promptly of the receipt of any comments (whether written or oral) from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the preliminary or final Proxy Statement (or any

51

amendment or supplement thereto) or for additional information and shall supply Parent with true, correct and complete copies of all correspondence between the Company and any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the preliminary or final Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Proxy Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) any information relating to Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Parent (solely with respect to the Parent Information or other information relating to Parent or its Affiliates, officers or directors) or the Company that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Party or Parties hereto (as the case may be) and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by the Company with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after the resolution of any comments of the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement (which resolution will be deemed to occur if the SEC has not affirmatively notified the Company prior to the end of the tenth (10th) calendar day after filing the preliminary Proxy Statement that the SEC will or will not be reviewing the Proxy Statement, the “Clearance Date”).

(b) Subject to the terms of Section 7.3(e), the Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Law, the rules and regulations of NASDAQ and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company to promptly set a record date for, duly give notice of, convene and following the mailing of the Proxy Statement hold a meeting of its stockholders as soon as reasonably practicable following the Clearance Date for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting prior to the fortieth (40th) day following the Clearance Date. Unless the Company shall have made a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 7.3(e) and Section 7.3(f), the Company shall include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and shall solicit, and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting (including by soliciting proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement). Within five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement (and thereafter, upon the reasonable request of Parent made not more than one time every two (2) weeks), the Company shall (in consultation with Parent) conduct a “broker search” and consult with Parent regarding the record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting prior to setting such date. Once established, the Company shall not change the record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or as otherwise required by applicable Law (including any requirement of Law in connection with any rescheduling, postponement or adjournment of the Company Stockholder Meeting that is permitted hereunder). The Company agrees that, unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company or any other person of any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or the making of a Change of Recommendation. The Company shall provide regular updates to Parent with respect to the proxy solicitation for the Company Stockholders Meeting (including interim results).

52

(c) The Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting (i) to allow time for the filing and dissemination of any supplemental or amended disclosure document that the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) is required to be filed and disseminated under applicable Law, (ii) if as of the time that the Company Stockholder Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholder Meeting, (iii) if the Company reasonably determines in good faith that the Company Stockholder Approval is unlikely to be obtained or (iv) with the prior written consent of Parent; provided, that, without Parent’s prior consent, the Company shall (x) not adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting to a date that is more than fifteen (15) days past the originally scheduled date for each adjournment and (y) only be permitted to effect up to two (2) adjournments or postponements. Without the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the adoption of this Agreement and a proposal to approve an adjournment of the Company Stockholder Meeting, if such adjournment is permitted by this Agreement, shall be the only matters (other than matters of procedure and matters required by applicable Law to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders in connection with the adoption of this Agreement) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

(d) Except as expressly permitted in Section 7.3(e) and Section 7.3(f), the Company Board shall not (i) withdraw, withhold or qualify (or amend or modify in any manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub), or propose publicly to withdraw, withhold or qualify (or amend or modify in any manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub), the Company Recommendation (it being understood that it shall be considered a modification adverse to Parent if (A) any Alternative Acquisition Proposal structured as a tender or exchange offer is commenced and the Company Board fails to publicly recommend against acceptance of such tender or exchange offer by the Company’s stockholders within ten (10) Business Days of commencement thereof pursuant to Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act or (B) any Alternative Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced (other than by the commencement of a tender or exchange offer) and the Company Board fails to issue a public press release within five (5) Business Days of such public announcement providing that the Company Board reaffirms the Company Recommendation, (ii) adopt, approve, endorse, recommend or declare advisable any Alternative Acquisition Proposal (or propose to adopt, approve, endorse, recommend or declare advisable any Alternative Acquisition Proposal), (iii) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation within five (5) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing (it being understood that the Company will have no obligation to make such reaffirmation more than once with respect to any Alternative Acquisition Proposal unless such Alternative Acquisition Approval is subsequently publicly modified in any material respect, in which case, Parent may make such request once each time such a material modification is made), (iv) fail to recommend against any Alternative Acquisition Proposal that is a tender or exchange offer subject to Rule 14D under the Exchange Act in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 within the earlier of three (3) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting and ten (10) Business Days after the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of such tender or exchange offer or take any other action or make any other recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer, (v) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or (vi) resolve to effect or publicly announce an intention to effect any of the foregoing (any such action described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), a “Change of Recommendation”).

53

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may effect a Change of Recommendation and/or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(iii) in response to a Superior Proposal received by the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement that has not been subsequently withdrawn; provided that (i) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) that such Alternative Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(iii) in response thereto would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with directors’ fiduciary duties under Delaware Law, (i) the Company shall have given Parent at least four (4) Business Days prior written notice (the “Board Recommendation Notice Period”) of the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement in response to such Superior Proposal and the basis for its determinations described in the foregoing clause (i), which notice shall include a description of the terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal, the identity of the Person making the Superior Proposal and a true, correct and complete copy of any proposed agreement(s) relating to such Superior Proposal, (iii) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations pursuant to ARTICLE 6 and this Section 7.3, (iv) during the Board Recommendation Notice Period, to the extent Parent desires to negotiate, the Company and its Representatives shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent and its Representatives with respect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Commitment Letter so that such Alternative Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal, (v) following the Board Recommendation Notice Period, the Company Board (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account Parent’s proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) shall have determined that such Alternative Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and the failure of the Company Board to effect such a Change of Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(iii) in response to such Superior Proposal would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with directors’ fiduciary duties under Delaware Law and (vi) in the event of a termination of this Agreement in order to cause the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, the Company shall have validly terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(c)(iii), including paying the Company Termination Fee. In the event of any material amendments or modifications to such Alternative Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that any change to the financial terms of such proposal shall be deemed a material modification), the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.3(e) with respect to such new written notice (it being understood that the Board Recommendation Notice Period in respect of such new written notice will instead be equal to the longer of (x) two (2) Business Days and (y) the period remaining under the Board Recommendation Notice Period immediately prior to the delivery of such new written notice).

54

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, other than in connection with a bona fide Alternative Acquisition Proposal (which shall be the subject of Section 6.1(b)), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may effect a Change of Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Delaware Law; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall have given Parent at least four (4) Business Days prior written notice (the “Intervening Event Notice Period”) of the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event and the basis for its determination that the failure of the Company Board to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with directors’ fiduciary duties under Delaware Law, which shall include a description in reasonable detail of the applicable Intervening Event, and (ii) during the Intervening Event Notice Period, to the extent that Parent desires to so meet and negotiate, the Company and its Representative shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent and its Representatives during the Intervening Event Notice Period to discuss the Intervening Event and any adjustments or revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response thereto to obviate the need to effect a Change of Recommendation, and following the Intervening Event Notice Period, the Company Board, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and taking into account Parent’s proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall have again determined that the failure of the Company Board to make such a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with directors’ fiduciary duties under Delaware Law; provided, further, that each time any material amendment or modification to the Intervening Event occurs, the Company shall notify Parent of such amendment or modification in writing and the Intervening Event Notice Period shall instead be equal to the longer of (x) two (2) Business Days and (y) the time period remaining under the Intervening Event Notice Period immediately prior to the delivery of the notice of amendment or modification.

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board or any committee thereof from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law or rules and policies of NASDAQ, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the exercise of the directors’ fiduciary duties under Delaware Law; provided, however, that (A) any such statement or disclosure pursuant to this Section 7.3(g) must be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company or the Company Board and the rights of Parent under this Section 7.3, and (B) nothing in the foregoing will be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board to effect a Change of Recommendation other than in accordance with Section 7.3(e) and Section 7.3(f); provided, further that any such statement or disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed a Change of Recommendation unless the Company Board expressly reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such disclosure and expressly rejects any applicable Alternative Acquisition Proposal.

55

Section 7.4 Parent Financing.

(a) In the event that all conditions contained in the Commitment Letter (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing) have been satisfied, Parent shall cause each Equity Investor to comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letter, including to fund the Equity Financing on the Closing Date, to the extent the proceeds thereof are required to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Parent shall not without the prior written consent of the Company permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification, waiver or remedy: (i) adversely affects the ability of Parent to enforce its respective rights against other parties to the Commitment Letter as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, relative to the ability of Parent to enforce its respective rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement or (ii) otherwise would reasonably be expected to materially hinder, delay or prevent the Closing. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company true, correct and complete copies of any written amendment, modification, waiver or replacement relating to the Equity Financing promptly upon execution thereof.

(c) Parent shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of any material breach, default, termination, cancellation or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letter relating to the Equity Financing contemplated to be funded on Closing of which it becomes aware. The foregoing notwithstanding, compliance by Parent with this Section 7.4 shall not relieve Parent of its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Equity Financing is available.

(d) Parent may take, or cause to be taken, certain actions, and do, or cause to be done, certain things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and consummate debt financing in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Debt Financing”), including, if applicable, negotiating and entering into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Agreements”). Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company true, correct and complete copies of any Definitive Agreements relating to any Debt Financing promptly upon execution thereof. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Debt Financing is not a condition to Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations under, and shall not relieve either Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not any Debt Financing is available and, even if Definitive Agreements are entered into by Parent, whether or not the Debt Financing contemplated by such Definitive Agreements, is funded.

(e) From and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, to the extent Parent seeks Debt Financing (except with respect to Section 7.4(e)(iv), with respect to which the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide regardless of whether any such Debt Financing is sought), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (and their respective Representatives) to use reasonable best efforts, to provide customary cooperation to Parent and Merger Sub, in each case, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, as is customary any such Debt Financing (provided, that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company or any of its Affiliates or cause the Company to not be able to comply with its obligation in Section 7.3(a) of this Agreement), including using reasonable best efforts to:

56

(i) furnish Parent any pertinent financial and other information with respect to the Company that is customarily required for completion of any such Debt Financing, including, but not limited to, the Required Financial Information;

(ii) participate in a reasonable and limited number of investor and lender meetings (including one-on-one meetings and calls that are requested in advance with or by any parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for, and prospective lenders of, any Debt Financing), presentations, and due diligence sessions at reasonable times and with reasonable advance notice (which meetings, presentations and due diligence sessions may be virtual);

(iii) provide reasonable and customary assistance to Parent and the Debt Financing Sources in the preparation of customary offering documents, lender presentations, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, syndication memoranda, and ratings agency presentations to obtain reasonable and customary corporate and facilities credit ratings (including providing customary authorization and representation letters authorizing the distribution of information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries to prospective lenders or investors and containing representations with respect to the presence of or absence of material non-public information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries and the accuracy of the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries contained therein) for the Debt Financing;

(iv) so long as requested by Parent at least six (6) days prior to the Closing Date, provide at least four (4) days prior to the Closing Date, all documentation and other information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act;

(v) assist in the preparation of, and executing and delivering at Closing, Definitive Agreements (including schedules thereto), including guarantee and collateral documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by Parent, customary closing certificates, a customary solvency certificate, perfection certificates and other customary documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by Parent in writing and, in each case, necessary and customary as may be required by such Debt Financing; provided, that the effectiveness of any documentation executed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subject to the occurrence of the Closing;

(vi) taking reasonable corporate actions, subject to and only effective upon the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably necessary to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing; and

(vii) cooperating in satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in any Definitive Agreement relating to the Debt Financing to the extent satisfaction of such condition requires the cooperation of, or is within the control of, the Company and its Subsidiaries.

57

(f) The foregoing notwithstanding, none of the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to take or permit the taking of any action pursuant to this Section 7.4 that would: (i) require the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or any persons who are officers or directors of such entities to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Debt Financing, except those which are subject to the occurrence of the Closing passed by directors or officers continuing in their positions following the Closing, (ii) require the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or any persons who are officers or directors of such entities to enter into, execute or deliver any certificate, document, instrument or agreement or agree to any change or modification of any existing certificate, document, instrument or agreement, in each case, that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing (other than the execution of customary authorization letters and representation letters referenced above), (iii) require the Company or any of its Affiliates to pay any commitment or other similar fee (unless Parent has advanced to the Company the funds required to pay such commitment or other similar fee) or incur any other expense, liability or obligation in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing (unless promptly reimbursed by Parent), (iv) cause any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Company or any of its Affiliates to incur any personal liability, (v) conflict with any Laws, (vi) reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or a default (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) under, any Company Material Contract to which the Company or any of its Affiliates is a party (other than any Company Material Contract entered into for purposes of evading this covenant), (vii) provide access to or disclose information that the Company or any of its Affiliates reasonably determines would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, or (viii) require the Company to prepare any financial statements or information that are not available to it and prepared in the ordinary course of its financial reporting practice. Nothing contained in this Section 7.4 or otherwise shall require the Company or any of its Affiliates, prior to the Closing, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing. Parent shall promptly reimburse the Company or any of its Affiliates for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by them or their respective representatives in connection with such cooperation and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, any action taken by them at the request of Parent or its Representatives pursuant to this Section 7.4 and any information used in connection therewith (other than any information provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries for use in connection therewith), except with respect to any losses suffered or incurred as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(g) The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 7.4 represent the sole obligation of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to cooperation in connection with the Equity Financing or the arrangement of any Debt Financing to be obtained by Parent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no other provision of this Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto) or the Equity Commitment Letter shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations. In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Equity Financing or any Debt Financing) by Parent or any of its Affiliates or any other financing be a condition to any of Parent’s obligations under this Agreement.

58

(h) All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company or any of its Affiliates obtained by Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall be permitted to disclose information as necessary and consistent with customary practices in connection with the Equity Financing or any Debt Financing subject to such Person agreeing to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement as if it were a party thereto or such Person otherwise being subject to other customary confidentiality arrangements.

(i) The Company hereby consents to the use of the logos of the Company and its Subsidiaries by Parent in connection with the Debt Financing solely in connection with a description of the Company, its business, and products or the merger; provided, however, that Parent and Merger Sub shall ensure that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended, or that is not reasonably likely, to harm or disparage the Company or its Subsidiaries or their reputation or goodwill.

Section 7.5 Convertible Notes; Note Repurchase Agreements; Existing Credit Agreement.

(a) If requested by Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and direct their respective Representatives to, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture, use their reasonable best efforts to solicit the repurchase of Convertible Notes from any of the Convertible Note Holders (or their respective successors or assigns) on substantially similar terms as the form of Note Repurchase Agreement set forth on Section 3.18 of the Company Disclosure Schedules, or such other terms satisfactory to Parent, and enter into agreements substantially in the form of such Note Repurchase Agreement(s) in order to consummate such repurchase; provided, that any such repurchase shall be subject to and only effective upon the occurrence of the Closing and from funds provided by Parent to the Company or paid directly by Parent to the counterparty to the Note Repurchase Agreement. The Company shall (i) enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, each Note Repurchase Agreement and each other repurchase agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 7.5(a) and (ii) comply with any instructions of Parent to assign its rights and obligations under any Note Repurchase Agreement or any other repurchase agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 7.5(a) to Parent or any Affiliate of Parent.

(b) Parent or Merger Sub will be permitted to commence and conduct, in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture and applicable Law, including SEC rules and regulations, one or more offers to purchase, including any offer in connection with a “Fundamental Change” or “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as such terms, or any similar terms, are defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture), any tender offer or any exchange offer, any other purchase of the outstanding Convertible Notes, and/or to conduct a consent solicitation in coordination with the Company, if any (each, a “Debt Offer” and collectively, the “Debt Offers”) with respect to any or all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that the closing of any such Debt Offer shall not be consummated prior to the Effective Time. Parent and Merger Sub shall keep the Company reasonably informed of any Debt Offers commenced prior to Closing, including the timing and commencement of any Debt Offers and any tender deadlines. Parent and Merger Sub shall not be permitted to commence any Debt Offer until Parent shall have provided to the Company the necessary offer to purchase, consent solicitation statement, letter of transmittal and press release, if any, in connection therewith, and each other document relevant to

59

the transaction that will be distributed by Parent or Merger Sub to holders of the Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Debt Offer Documents”) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of commencing the applicable Debt Offer to allow the Company and its counsel to review and comment on such Debt Offer Documents (and Parent shall consider in good faith comments of the Company and its counsel thereon). In no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to incur any financing or provide assistance in obtaining any financing for a Debt Offer; it being understood and agreed that no such Debt Offer shall delay the Closing beyond the date that it is required to occur under this Agreement. The closing of the Debt Offers will be expressly conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing. The consummation of the Debt Offer with respect to the Company Notes shall not be a condition to Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall not relieve either Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not any Debt Offer occurs or closes and, even if Debt Offer Documents are entered into by Parent, whether or not the Debt Offer contemplated by such Debt Offer Documents, closes.

(c) If requested by Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and direct their respective Representatives to, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture, use their reasonable best efforts to execute, and use reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, any supplemental indenture(s) and deliver any certificates and other documents required by the Convertible Notes Indenture to be delivered by such persons in connection with such supplemental indenture(s) in order to make any changes to the Convertible Notes Indenture as described in the Debt Offer Documents as may be necessary or desirable in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Prior to the Effective Time, if requested by Parent, in addition to Parent commencing Debt Offers for the Convertible Notes, the Company shall give any notices and take all actions permitted under the terms of the Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes Indenture or under applicable Law in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which actions shall include, without limitation, the Company (or its Subsidiaries or other Representatives, as applicable) (i) giving any notices that may be required in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) preparing any supplemental indentures required in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation thereof to be executed and delivered to the Trustee at the Effective Time, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and Parent, (iii) taking all such further actions, including, without limitation, delivering any officer’s certificates and legal opinions, as may be necessary to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes Indenture in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iv) using reasonable best efforts to prepare and deliver all other documents under the Convertible Notes Indenture (as may be amended in accordance with any Debt Offer) (including any officer’s certificates and legal opinions) to issue notices of redemption to the extent contemplated by such amendments (conditioned upon consummation of the Closing, if issued prior to the Closing) for such Convertible Notes in accordance with the Convertible Notes Indenture providing (x) for the redemption of such Convertible Notes on the Closing Date (or such later date as may be specified by Parent) or (y) for satisfaction and discharge of the Convertible Notes and the Convertible Notes Indenture on the Closing Date, in each case, pursuant to the requisite provisions of the Convertible Notes Indenture (as may be amended in accordance with any Debt Offer) (subject to the consummation of the Closing, if sent prior to the Closing) (the “Redemption” and, together with the Debt Offers, the “Repayments”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.5,

60

but subject to the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture, nothing herein shall require the Company to make any payment (other than any cash interest that would otherwise be payable) with respect to the Convertible Notes in connection with the Merger (including in connection with the settlement of any conversion obligations), prior to the occurrence of the Effective Time.

(d) The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel not less than three (3) Business Days to review and comment on any notices, certificates, press releases, supplemental indentures, or other documents or instruments deliverable pursuant to the Convertible Notes Indenture prior to the delivery thereof and shall consider all reasonable comments provided by Parent and its counsel with respect thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time and without limitation to the other provisions of this Section 7.5, the Company shall take all such actions as may be required by the terms of applicable Law, including the giving of any written notices or communication in connection with the Merger. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel reasonable time and opportunity to review any such written notice or communication prior to the delivery thereof and shall consider all reasonable comments provided by Parent and its counsel with respect thereto.

(f) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.5, the Company will provide and will use reasonable best efforts to have its Representatives and Subsidiaries provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the execution of any supplemental indentures or amendments.

(g) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and direct their respective Representatives to, in each case, use their reasonable best efforts to provide all cooperation, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with this Section 7.5, including by (i) causing the applicable trustee to agree to proceed with any Repayment, (ii) waiving any conditions to any Repayment as may be reasonably requested by Parent that may be legally waived and may be waived under the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture (and not, without the written consent of Parent, waive any condition to any Repayment or make any changes to any Repayment unless required by the Convertible Notes Indenture or by Law), (iii) commencing any Repayment on such terms and conditions, including pricing terms and amendments to the terms and provisions of the Convertible Notes Indenture, that are specified, from time to time, by Parent or Merger Sub, (iv) in connection with any consent solicitations, assuming the applicable requisite consents are received, executing (and using reasonable efforts to cause the applicable trustee or lender to execute) supplemental indentures to the applicable indenture promptly after the requisite consents are obtained, provided, that such supplemental indentures will not become operative prior to the Closing Date, (v) upon the request of Parent, extending the offer period or consent period applicable to any Repayment to a date selected by Parent in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture and a Repayment in the event that any tender offer or consent solicitation in connection with a Repayment is commenced by the Company at the request of Parent; provided, that in no event will the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to settle any Repayment or make any consent payment prior to the Closing Date, unless Parent funds the settlement of such Repayment and makes any consent payment therewith to satisfy any obligations of the Company to the debt holders

61

of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that may arise as a result of such Repayment; provided, further that any dealer manager, solicitation agent, information agent, depositary or other agent retained in connection with such Repayment will be selected by Parent after consultation with the Company, and (vi) if requested by Parent, causing its legal counsel to provide all customary legal opinions required in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Section 7.5 to the extent such legal opinions are required to be delivered before the Closing Date. The cooperation and other obligations contemplated by this Section 7.5 shall not require (A) the Company to cooperate with respect to any Repayment that would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with applicable Laws or (B) the Company’s legal counsel to give any opinion that, in the opinion of such legal counsel, does not comply with applicable Laws.

(h) On or after May 15, 2024 and if reasonably requested by Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and direct their respective Representatives to, in each case, use their reasonable efforts to obtain the document contemplated by Section 7.4(h) of the Company Disclosure Schedules.

Section 7.6 Interim Access to Company. Subject to compliance with applicable Laws, the Company shall afford to Parent and to its officers, employees, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, financial advisors, financing sources and agents and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) reasonable access, solely for purposes of effectuating or consummating the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or integration and transition planning relating thereto, during normal business hours, on reasonable advance notice, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the Termination Date, to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties (including the Leased Real Property), contracts, commitments, personnel, books and records, other than any such matters that relate to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, including with respect to the consideration or valuation of the Merger or any financial or strategic alternatives thereto, or any Alternative Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal. Nothing in this Section 7.6 shall be construed to require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals or opinions to Parent, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives if the Company or its Subsidiaries would incur any out-of-pocket costs in excess of $20,000 in connection with the preparation of any such reports, analyses, appraisals or opinions unless Parent otherwise agrees to reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for such excess out-of-pocket costs; provided, however, that the preparation of such reports, analyses, appraisals or opinions does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Company may provide such access by electronic means if physical access is not reasonably feasible or would not be permitted under applicable Law (including any COVID-19 Measures). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to afford such access or furnish such information if it would (a) materially and unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) cause the loss of attorney-client (or other legal) privilege or trade secret protection to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) result in the disclosure of any information to be used in connection with any litigation or similar dispute between the Parties hereto or (d) would constitute a violation of any applicable Law; provided, that the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or access and shall use reasonable efforts to allow the disclosure of such information (or as much of such information as reasonably possible) in a manner that does not (i) in the case of clause (b), result in the loss of any such privilege or protection, (ii) in the case of

62

clause (c), result in the disclosure of any such information and (iii) in the case of clause (d), result in a violation of applicable Law. Parent hereby agrees that all information provided to it or any of its Representatives in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be “Evaluation Material,” as such term is used in, and shall be treated in accordance with, the Confidentiality Agreement. Any access to the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and will not include the right to perform invasive or subsurface testing or any sampling, monitoring or analysis of soil, groundwater, building materials, indoor air, or other environmental media. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives not to, initiate contact with any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries not involved in the negotiation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or integration from and after the Effective Date (provided, that, the foregoing shall not apply to any director or officer of the Company or any Company Knowledge Party), or any customer, technology or other partner, vendor or supplier of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, without the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that any such contact shall be arranged and supervised by Representatives of the Company. All requests for access pursuant to this Section 7.6 must be directed to the General Counsel of the Company, or another person designated in writing by the Company.

Section 7.7 Employee Matters.

(a) Change in Control. Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change in control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Company Benefit Plans set forth in Section 7.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules will occur at the Effective Time.

(b) Company Benefit Plans. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall honor all Company Benefit Plans then in effect as required by their terms (it being understood that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Surviving Corporation, Parent or its Affiliates from amending, modifying, replacing or terminating such arrangements in accordance with their terms).

(c) Post-Closing Protection Period. For the period commencing on the Effective Time and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time (or, if shorter, the applicable Company Employee’s period of employment) (such period, the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its Affiliates to provide to each current employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time who remains so employed immediately after the Effective Time (each, a “Company Employees”) (i) annual base salary or base hourly wage rate (as applicable) and target annual or short-term cash incentive opportunities (including target short-term commission-based cash incentive opportunities but excluding change of control, retention-related, and equity-based opportunities) that, in each case, are no less favorable than were provided to the Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time, and (ii) broad-based employee retirement, health, and welfare benefits (excluding, without limitation, defined benefit, retiree medical, non-qualified deferred compensation, long-term incentive, retention-related, change of control, and equity and equity-based compensation) that are

63

substantially comparable in the aggregate to those that were provided to the Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 7.7 will require Parent to provide compensation in the form of equity or equity-based compensation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Affiliate to provide to each Company Employee whose employment terminates during the Continuation Period under circumstances that would give rise to cash severance pay or benefits under the existing terms of the Company Benefit Plans set forth on Section 3.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules and designated thereon as a severance plan, policy or practice (the “Company Severance Plans”), cash severance pay equal to the cash severance pay provided under the Company Severance Plans.

(d) Service Crediting. For all purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits under the corresponding employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Company Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent and for the same purpose as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any analogous Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, but not limited to, participating and vesting in employer 401(k) plan contributions, severance, vacation/paid time off and for any other purposes as may be required under applicable Law); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any defined benefit pension benefits or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to and replaces a Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, and vision insurance benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all preexisting condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, and Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying the corresponding deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan to the extent such amounts were credited to such person for the same purpose under the Old Plan.

(e) No Employment Commitments. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.12, the provisions of this Section 7.7 are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and no current or former officer, director, employee or independent contractor or any other Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall (i) be construed as an amendment to, or the establishment, modification or termination of, any Company Benefit Plan

64

or other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement for any purpose, (ii) limit the right of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Benefit Plan or other compensation or benefit plan program, policy, practice, agreement, or other arrangement, or (iii) guarantee to any officer, director, employee, independent contractor or any other Person any right to employment or engagement, or continued employment or engagement for any period of time, or any term or condition of employment or engagement, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries, to terminate the employment or engagement of any officer, director, employee, or independent contractor.

Section 7.8 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agree that all indemnification or other similar agreements between any current or former directors, officers or employees, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in each case in effect on the date hereof as set forth on Section 7.8(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules and made available to Parent prior to the date hereof (the “Existing Indemnification Agreements”), shall survive the consummation of the Merger and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the certificates of incorporation and bylaws or similar organizational documents of the Company and any Subsidiaries of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim, even if beyond such six (6)-year period. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and honor, guarantee and stand surety for, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 7.8.

(b) Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent provided in the governing and organizational documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof and any applicable Existing Indemnification Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing or any related expenses) each current and former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and each Person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the request of or for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, and successors and assigns, an “Indemnified Party”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any Action to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, obligations, costs, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened Action arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions in connection with such Persons serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or its Subsidiaries), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in all cases, solely to the extent provided in the governing and organizational documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof. In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

65

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a six (6)-year prepaid “tail” policy on the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the aggregate cost of such “tail” policy shall not exceed 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance hereunder.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.8 shall survive the consummation of the Merger for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

Section 7.9 Takeover Statute. If any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination” or other form of anti-takeover Law (including Section 203 of the DGCL) shall become or is deemed to become applicable to the Company, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, then the Company’s Board of Directors shall grant such approvals and take any and all such actions necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise use reasonable best efforts to act to eliminate or, if not possible to eliminate, minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.10 Public Announcements. Parent and the Company agree to issue a joint press release as the first public disclosure of this Agreement. Subject to Section 6.1, prior to the issuance of a press release or other public statement or comment relating to this Agreement (including any proposed termination hereof) or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall consult with each other and provide each other with the opportunity to review and comment on any press release or other public statement or comment relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, and shall not issue any such press release or other public statement or comment prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law or

66

Section 7.11 Other Investors. Prior to the Effective Time, without the prior written consent of the Company, Parent shall not permit or agree to permit any Person, other than each Equity Investor and its Affiliates, to obtain any equity interests (or rights to obtain any equity interests) in Parent or Merger Sub if such acquisition of equity interests (or rights to obtain such equity interests) would reasonably be expected to (a) delay in any material respect the obtaining of, or increase in any material respect the risk of not obtaining, any consents of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (b) increase in any material respect the risk of any Governmental Entity seeking or entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (c) increase in any material respect the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise.

67

Section 7.13 Stock Exchange De-listing; Exchange Act Deregistration. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of NASDAQ and the SEC to enable the de-listing by the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock, and the public Warrants from NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock and the public Warrants under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 7.14 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Company Board shall take such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cause any dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.15 Stockholder Litigation. Each of the Company and Parent shall keep the other reasonably informed of (including by providing true, correct and complete copies of all pleadings and material written communications with respect thereto), and cooperate with such Party in connection with, any stockholder litigation or claim against such Party or its directors or officers relating to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such litigation or claim, “Stockholder Litigation”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the Termination Date, the Company shall (a) give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in (but not control) the defense or settlement of any such Stockholder Litigation, (b) consult in good faith with Parent with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any Stockholder Litigation and (c) not compromise or settle, or agree to compromise or settle, any Stockholder Litigation arising or resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For purposes of this Section 7.15, “participate” means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Stockholder Litigation by the Company (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected) and be provided with the right to review and comment on all material filings or written responses to be made by the Company in connection with the Stockholder Litigation, and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Stockholder Litigation, including the material filings or written responses to be made by the Company in connection therewith, which the Company and its counsel shall reasonably consider in good faith. For the avoidance of doubt, any Stockholder Litigation related to Dissenting Shares will be governed by Section 1.4(d). Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall not need Parent’s consent to settle any Stockholder Litigation to the extent such Stockholder Litigation is settled (i) solely for the payment of monies which are recoverable from insurance policies available to the Company (other than any deductibles or retention amounts applicable thereto) and (ii) includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

Section 7.16 Notices of Certain Events. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other of:

(a) any written notice or other written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby;

68

The Parties further acknowledge that neither the Company Termination Fee nor the Parent Termination Fee shall constitute a penalty but, in each case, is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as applicable, in the circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee is payable, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The Parties further acknowledge that the right to receive the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, shall not limit or otherwise affect any such Party’s right to specific performance as provided in Section 9.5; provided that in no event shall either Party be entitled to receive both specific performance to cause the consummation of the Merger and payment of the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but without limiting or affecting Parent’s rights to specific performance expressly set forth in Section 9.5, in any circumstance in which this Agreement is terminated and Parent is paid the Company Termination Fee from the Company pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Company Termination Fee and, if applicable, any costs and expenses of Parent pursuant to Section 8.3(c) shall, subject to Section 8.2 and Section 9.5, be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Parent Related Parties against the Company, its subsidiaries

73

and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, controlling Persons, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, representatives, agents or any their respective assignees or successors or any former, current or future general or limited partner, stockholder, controlling Person, manager, member, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, representative, agent, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) for any cost, expense, loss or damage suffered as a result of, or arising from or otherwise in connection with (i) this Agreement or any of the other agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby or executed in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the failure of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, or (iii) any breach (or threatened or alleged breach) of, or failure (or threatened or alleged failure) to perform under, this Agreement or any of the other documents delivered herewith or executed in connection herewith or otherwise (collectively, the “Transaction Related Matters”), and upon payment of such amounts, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or in respect of representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.3(d) will not relieve the Company from liability for fraud or Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement. Except in the case of fraud or Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement, in no event will (A) any of the Parent Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Company Termination Fee and any amounts due by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(c) against any of the Company Related Parties, and (B) Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to seek or obtain consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages in excess of the Company Termination Fee and any amounts due by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(c) against the Company Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement or the Merger, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but without limiting or affecting the Company’s rights to specific performance expressly set forth in Section 9.5, in any circumstance in which this Agreement is terminated and the Company is paid the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Parent Termination Fee and, if applicable, any costs and expenses of the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(c) (and the obligations of each Equity Investor under the Limited Guarantee in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof with respect thereto), shall, subject to Section 9.5, be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Company Related Parties against Parent, Merger Sub, either Equity Investor, and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, controlling Persons, direct or indirect equity holders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, affiliated (or commonly advised) funds, representatives, agents or any their respective assignees or successors or any former, current or future general or limited partner, stockholder, controlling Person, direct or indirect equity holder, manager, member, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, affiliated (or commonly advised) fund, representative, agent, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) for any cost, expense, loss or damage suffered as a result of, or arising from or otherwise in connection with any Transaction Related Matters, and upon payment of such amounts, none of the Parent

74

Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or in respect of representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise; provided, that under no circumstances will the collective monetary damages payable by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates for breaches (including any Willful and Material Breach and, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law, fraud) under this Agreement (taking into account the payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to this Agreement), the Limited Guarantee or the Commitment Letter exceed an aggregate amount equal to (x) the amount of the Parent Termination Fee plus (y) the reimbursement obligations set forth in Section 7.4(f) plus (z) any amounts due by Parent pursuant to Section 8.3(c) for all such breaches (the “Parent Liability Limitation”). To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law, in no event will (i) any of the Company Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against the Parent Related Parties, and (ii) the Company be entitled to seek or obtain consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against the Parent Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the Limited Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, any breach by either Equity Investor, Parent or Merger Sub), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure. Except as expressly provided in this Section 8.3(e), none of Parent, Merger Sub or the Parent Related Parties shall have any liability or obligation relating to or arising out of or in connection with any Transaction Related Matters, except that nothing shall relieve Parent of its obligations under Section 7.4(f), Section 7.6 and Section 7.10, and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any other Company Related Party shall seek or be entitled to seek or recover any damages or seek or be entitled to any remedy, whether based on a claim at Law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to any losses or damages suffered in connection with any Transaction Related Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) under no circumstances will the Company be entitled to receive more than one of the following: (x) the Parent Termination Fee, (y) a grant of specific performance to cause the Closing to occur and (z) if applicable, any monetary damages or award; and (B) in the event the Company is awarded the Parent Termination Fee and such award is nonappealable or Parent or Merger Sub elects not to appeal such award, if Parent delivers to the Company a written notice stating its intention to consummate the Closing, within ten (10) Business Days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall be obligated to, and shall, promptly consummate the Closing in accordance with such notice and this Agreement in lieu of payment of the Parent Termination Fee.

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the Merger, except for covenants and agreements that contemplate performance after the Effective Time or otherwise expressly by their terms survive the Effective Time, which shall survive in accordance with their terms.

75

Section 9.2 Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 7.4(f) or Section 8.3, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring or required to incur such expenses, except that all filing fees paid by any Party in respect of any and all filings under the Antitrust and Foreign Investment Laws shall be borne by Parent; provided, however, that except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.3(b)(ii), Parent will pay or cause to be paid all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, real property transfer and other similar Taxes and fees imposed with respect to, or as a result of, entering into this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger, and such Taxes and fees expressly shall not be a liability of holders of Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards. Parent shall file any necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Payment Agent.

Section 9.3 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (.pdf) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were on the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (by telecopy, facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise as authorized by the prior sentence) to the other Parties.

Section 9.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Merger, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) to the extent such provisions or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the Parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Merger, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other Party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”). Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts and agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of Chosen Courts or from any legal

76

process commenced in Chosen Courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any claim that (i) such action or proceeding in Chosen Courts is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by the Chosen Courts. Each Party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.7. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any Party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

Section 9.5 Specific Enforcement.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each Party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other Party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, (i) the non-breaching Party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages) to obtain (A) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (B) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach; (ii) the provisions of Section 8.3 are not intended to and do not adequately compensate the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement, and will not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief; and (iii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Merger and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance to cause Parent to cause the Equity Financing to be funded under the Commitment Letter and Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger if, but only if, (i) all of the conditions in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b) have been, and continue to be, satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing (but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied at the Closing)) at the time the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.1, and (ii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed by written notice to Parent and Merger Sub on or after the date that the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.1 that all conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(c) have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing (but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied at the Closing)) or that it is willing to irrevocably waive any unsatisfied conditions in Section 2.2(c) and that it is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing. The election to pursue an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit the Company from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate the Agreement and collect the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b); provided, that in no event shall the Company be entitled to receive more than one of the following: (x) the Parent Termination Fee, (y) a grant of specific performance to cause the Closing to occur and (z) if applicable, any monetary damages or award. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to a remedy of specific performance or any other equitable remedies against any Debt Financing Source.

77

(c) Each Party further agrees that (i) it will not raise any objections to (A) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand; and (B) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Commitment Letter to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement or to cause the Equity Financing to be timely completed in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, 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 9.5, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Section 9.6 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 9.6.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

79

Section 9.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a Chosen Court shall be ineffective to the sole extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remainder of such term or provision or the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable by a Chosen Court, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement by replacing such provision with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

Section 9.10 Confidentiality. The Parties hereto hereby agree that the terms of the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of December 12, 2023, by and between the Company and Haveli Investments L.P., as amended by the Amendment to the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of January 3, 2024 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate.

Section 9.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules hereto), the Commitment Letter, the Limited Guarantee, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Voting Agreements, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. The Company Disclosure Schedules and the Parent Disclosure Schedules are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

Section 9.12 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of ARTICLE 1 and ARTICLE 2 (which, from and after the Effective Time, shall be for the benefit of holders of the Company Common Stock), Section 7.8 (which, from and after the Effective Time, shall be for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties), and the provisions of the penultimate sentence of Section 7.4(e) (which shall be for the benefit of the express beneficiaries thereof), this Agreement is not intended to, and will not, confer upon any Person (other than the Persons expressly parties to this Agreement) any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 9.13 Amendments; Waivers. At any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however, that after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if any such amendment or waiver shall by applicable Law or in accordance with the rules and regulations of NASDAQ require further approval of the stockholders of the Company or the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, as applicable, the effectiveness of such amendment or waiver shall be subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company or the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, as applicable. The foregoing notwithstanding, no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Section 9.14 Headings. Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of the Parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

80

The table of contents to this Agreement is for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.15 Disclosure Schedules; Company SEC Documents. The Parties agree that the disclosure set forth in any particular section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedules or Parent Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, that are set forth in the corresponding Section or subsection of this Agreement; and (b) any other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, that are set forth in this Agreement, but in the case of this clause (b) only if the relevance of that disclosure as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure. The Company’s representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE 3 shall be qualified in their entirety by the Company SEC Documents available on the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval database of the SEC on or after December 17, 2021 and prior to the date hereof (other than any disclosures contained or referenced therein under the captions “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” or “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” and other disclosures contained or referenced therein of information, factors or risks to the extent they that are predictive, cautionary or forward-looking in nature) (the “Recent Company SEC Documents”) and any information contained in such Recent Company SEC Documents shall be an exception to the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE 3; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing disclosed in the Recent Company SEC Documents will be deemed to modify or qualify the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 3.4(a), Section 3.4(b)(i), Section 3.8(b), Section 3.21, Section 3.22, Section 3.23 or Section 3.24).

Section 9.16 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of or an Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The phrase “ordinary course of business” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “consistent with past practices (including as to amounts and frequency)”. All references herein to “$” or “dollars” shall be to U.S. dollars. All references herein to the Subsidiaries of a Person shall be deemed to include all direct and indirect Subsidiaries of such Person unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms. Any agreement defined or referred to herein or in any schedule that is referred to herein means such agreement as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by waiver or consent, together with any addenda, schedules or exhibits to, any purchase orders or statements of work governed by, and any “terms of services” or similar conditions applicable to,

81

such agreement. Any specific law defined or referred to herein or in any schedule that is referred to herein means such law as from time to time amended and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (provided, however, that for purposes of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that are made as of a specific date or dates, such references shall be deemed to refer to such law, as amended, and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case, as of such date). Each accounting term used in this Agreement that is not specifically defined herein will have the meaning given to such term under GAAP. Each of the Parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The words “made available to Parent” and words of similar import refer to documents (a) posted to the “Project Optimus” virtual data room maintained by Donnelley Financial Solutions Venue by or on behalf of the Company or (b) delivered in person or electronically to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives, in each case, before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date that is two (2) days immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence. If the date on which any payment is required to be made, any action is required to be taken or any notice is required to be given is not a Business Day, such payment, action or notice shall be payable or due on the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue on the amount of any such payment from and after such scheduled date to the time of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day).

Section 9.17 Obligations of Merger Sub. Whenever this Agreement requires Merger Sub to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Merger Sub to take such action. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company with a true, correct and complete copy of Parent’s written consent, in its capacity as sole stockholder of Merger Sub, to adopt this Agreement (by consent in lieu of a stockholder meeting).

Section 9.18 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 9.19 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to the non-performance this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be made against the Parties. No former, current or future stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents or affiliates (other than the Parties) of any Party, or any former, current or future direct or indirect stockholder, equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, agent or affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Parties or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, this Agreement or in respect of any

82

representations made or alleged to be made in connection with this Agreement. Without limiting the rights of any Party against the other Parties, in no event shall any Party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, or make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, any Non-Recourse Party. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 9.19, precludes the Parties or any Non-Recourse Parties from exercising any rights, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability or obligations of any Party or Non-Recourse Party, in each case under this Agreement or any other agreement to which they are specifically a party or an express third party beneficiary thereof, including without limitation, the Commitment Letter.
