WHEREAS, the boards of directors of Parent, Purchaser and the Company each have approved the acquisition of the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and, accordingly, Purchaser has agreed to commence a tender offer (as it may be amended, modified or extended from time to time as permitted by this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase any (subject to the Minimum Tender Condition) and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Share” and, collectively, “Shares”), for $7.15 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest (such consideration as it may be increased from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the “Offer Price”);

WHEREAS, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and each Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares described in Section 3.1(b) and any Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has unanimously (i) determined that this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the holders of Shares, (ii) adopted this Agreement and approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, and (iii) resolved to recommend that the holders of Shares accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer;

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of Parent and Purchaser each have (i) declared it advisable for Parent and Purchaser, respectively, to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Contemplated Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, and (ii) adopted this Agreement and approved the execution, delivery and performance by Parent and the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger; and

WHEREAS, the sole stockholder of Purchaser will approve and adopt this Agreement promptly following its execution.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Purchaser and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE OFFER

Section 1.1. The Offer.

(a) (i) Purchaser will, and Parent will cause Purchaser to, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement ((A) but in no event later than the tenth Business Day following the date of this Agreement, provided, that if the principal offices of the SEC in Washington, D.C. are not open to accept filings on such date, the first day after such date that the principal offices of the SEC in Washington, D.C. are open to accept filings, and (B) without the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, in no event earlier than the date specified in clause (A)), commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) the Offer to purchase for cash any (subject to the Minimum Tender Condition) and all Shares at the Offer Price. The obligation of Purchaser (and of Parent to cause Purchaser) to accept for payment and to pay for any Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer is subject only to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of those conditions set forth in Annex I (the “Offer Conditions”). Unless extended in accordance with Section 1.1(a)(ii), the Offer will expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the twentieth Business Day (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following (and including the day of) the commencement of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Date”), or, if the Offer has been extended in accordance with Section 1.1(a)(ii), at the time and date to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, and/or such later time and date to which the Offer has been extended in accordance with Section 1.1(a)(ii), the “Expiration Date”). Purchaser expressly reserves the right at any time or, from time to time, in its sole discretion, to waive any Offer Condition or modify or amend the terms of the Offer, including the Offer Price, except that, without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser may not (A) decrease the Offer Price or change the form of the consideration payable in the Offer, (B) decrease the number of Shares sought pursuant to the Offer, (C) amend, modify, or waive the Minimum Tender Condition, (D) add to the Offer Conditions or impose any other conditions on the Offer, (E) amend or modify the Offer Conditions in a manner adverse to the holders of Shares, (F) extend the Expiration Date of the Offer except as required or permitted by Section 1.1(a)(ii), or (G) make any other change in the terms or conditions of the Offer that is adverse to the holders of Shares or that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or impair the ability of Parent or Purchaser to consummate the Offer.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) by Purchaser of the Offer Conditions as of any scheduled Expiration Date, Purchaser will accept for purchase and pay for any and all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly after such scheduled Expiration Date (the date and time of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”). Purchaser shall not permit holders of Shares to tender Shares pursuant to the Offer pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures. Purchaser will (A) extend the Offer for one or more periods of time of up to ten Business Days per extension if at any scheduled Expiration Date any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived (to the extent permitted hereunder) and

-2-

(B) extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof, or The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) applicable to the Offer; provided, that, Purchaser is not required to, and Purchaser will not, under any circumstances, without the prior written consent of the Company, extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date. The Company will register (and will instruct its transfer agent to register) the transfer of the Shares accepted for payment by Purchaser effective immediately after the Acceptance Time.

(b) On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Purchaser will file or cause to be filed with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (collectively with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer that includes as exhibits the offer to purchase and related letter of transmittal, summary advertisement and other ancillary Offer documents and instruments pursuant to which the Offer will be made (collectively with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and will disseminate the Offer Documents to the holders of Shares, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws. The Company will furnish promptly to Parent and Purchaser all information reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Purchaser concerning the Company and required by applicable federal securities Laws to be set forth in the Offer Documents. Except from and after a Change of Board Recommendation, Parent and Purchaser will afford the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to their filing with the SEC, and consider any comments from the Company or its counsel in good faith. Parent and Purchaser will (i) promptly provide the Company and its counsel with a copy of any written comments (and/or a description of any oral comments) received by Parent, Purchaser or their counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents, (ii) consult with the Company regarding any such comments prior to responding thereto, and consider any comments from the Company or its counsel in good faith and (iii) promptly provide the Company with copies of any responses to any such comments, in each case, except from and after a Change of Board Recommendation. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company will promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that it has become aware that such information has become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Purchaser will take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be promptly filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws.

(c) Parent will, promptly following the expiration of the Offer, provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser the funds necessary to timely purchase any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII, Purchaser will terminate the Offer promptly (and in any event within twenty-four hours of such termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII), and Purchaser will not acquire any Shares pursuant to the Offer. If the Offer is terminated by Purchaser, if the Offer is terminated with consent of the Company or if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII prior to the acquisition of Shares in the Offer, Purchaser will promptly (and in any event within two Business Days of such termination) return, and will cause any depositary or other agent acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all Shares tendered into the Offer to the registered holders thereof.

-3-

(e) The (i) Offer Price and (ii) Merger Consideration will be adjusted appropriately to reflect any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), combination, exchange or readjustment of shares of the Company, or any stock dividend or stock distribution occurring (or for which a record date is established) after the date of this Agreement and prior to (A) the payment by Purchaser for Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in connection with the Offer (with respect to the Offer Price) or (B) the Effective Time (with respect to the Merger Consideration).

Section 1.2. Company Consent; Schedule 14D-9. As promptly as practicable on the date the Offer is commenced after the filing of the Offer Documents, the Company will file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) containing, subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company Board Recommendation. The Company will include in the Schedule 14D-9 the information required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL such that the Schedule 14D-9 constitutes a notice of appraisal rights under Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL. The Company will establish the Stockholder List Date as the record date for the purpose of receiving the notice required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL; provided, that, such record date will not be more than ten calendar days prior to the date that the Schedule 14D-9 is first mailed. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents and, absent a Change of Board Recommendation, to the inclusion of a copy of the Schedule 14D-9 with the Offer Documents mailed or furnished to the holders of Shares. Parent and Purchaser, absent a Change of Board Recommendation, will disseminate a copy of the Schedule 14D-9 with the Offer Documents mailed or furnished to the holders of Shares. Parent and Purchaser will furnish promptly to the Company all information concerning Parent and Purchaser reasonably requested by the Company or required by applicable federal securities Laws to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. Except with respect to any amendments filed in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or a Change of Board Recommendation, Parent and Purchaser and their counsel will be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company will consider any comments from Parent, Purchaser or their counsel in good faith. The Company will (i) promptly provide Parent, Purchaser and their counsel with a copy of any written comments (and/or a description of any oral comments) received by the Company or its counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, (ii) consult with Parent and Purchaser regarding any such comments prior to responding thereto and (iii) promptly provide Parent and Purchaser with copies of any responses to any such comments, except, in the case of each of clause (i) through (iii), with respect to comments related to an Acquisition Proposal or in connection with a Change of Board Recommendation. Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser will promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it has become aware that such information has become false or misleading in any material respect. The Company will take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws.

In connection with the Offer, the Company will cause its transfer agent to promptly furnish Parent and Purchaser with mailing labels, security position listings and computer files containing the names and addresses of the record holders of Shares as of a recent practicable date (such date, the “Stockholder List Date”), and the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent and Purchaser such information and assistance (including periodic updates of such information) as Parent or Purchaser or their agents may reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of Shares. Except for such actions as are reasonably necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents, each of Parent and Purchaser will hold and use all information and documents provided to it under this Section 1.3 in accordance with the agreement regarding confidentiality, by and between Parent and the Company, dated February 6, 2024 (as amended or waived, the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(a) each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Shares described in Section 3.1(b) and any Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), and as of the Effective Time, all such Shares will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist, and each holder thereof will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Shares in accordance with Section 3.4;

-6-

Section 3.2. Treatment of Equity Awards. The Company Board (or, if appropriate, a committee administering the Company Equity Plans) has adopted, or, as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement (and, in any event, prior to the Effective Time), will adopt, resolutions providing that:

(a) each Company Stock Option (or portion thereof) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, to the extent not vested, automatically become fully vested and will be cancelled at the Effective Time, and the holder of such cancelled Company Stock Option will thereafter be entitled to receive (without interest), in exchange therefor, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Stock Option, an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings pursuant to Section 3.6) equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the applicable exercise price per Share under such Company Stock Option; provided, that in the event that the exercise price per Share under such Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Offer Price, such Company Stock Option shall be cancelled without any consideration being payable in respect thereof and shall have no further force or effect;

(b) each Company RSU (or portion thereof) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, to the extent not vested, automatically become fully vested and will be cancelled at the Effective Time, and the holder of such cancelled Company RSU will thereafter be entitled to receive (without interest), in exchange therefor, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company RSU, an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings pursuant to Section 3.6) equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to (or deliverable under) such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Offer Price;

(c) each Company PSU (or portion thereof) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, to the extent not vested, automatically become fully vested and will be cancelled at the Effective Time, and the holder of such cancelled Company PSU will thereafter be entitled to receive (without interest), in exchange therefor, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company PSU, an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings pursuant to Section 3.6) equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to (or deliverable under) such Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Offer Price.

-7-

Subject to Section 3.6, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to make all payments to former holders of Company Equity Awards required under this Section 3.2 through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll systems as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event, no later than the three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time; provided, however, that to the extent any such payment would cause an impermissible acceleration event under Section 409A of the Code, such amounts shall be paid at the earliest time such payment would not cause an impermissible acceleration event under Section 409A.

Section 3.3. Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration unless such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Shares who has properly exercised appraisal rights will not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Shares, except those provided under Section 262 of the DGCL. A holder of Dissenting Shares will be entitled only to receive payment of the appraised value of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless, after the Effective Time, such holder effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, in which case such Dissenting Shares will be treated as if such Shares had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate or Certificates, pursuant to Section 3.1.

(b) The Company will give Parent (i) reasonably prompt written notice of any written demands for payment of fair value received by the Company, and any withdrawals thereof, received from stockholders or provided to stockholders by the Company with respect to any Dissenting Shares or shares claimed to be Dissenting Shares and (ii) the opportunity and right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal. The Company will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent or as otherwise required by applicable Law, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands for appraisal. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

(c) If any holder of Dissenting Shares effectively withdraws or loses (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s right to obtain payment of the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such effective withdrawal or loss, such holder’s Shares will no longer be Dissenting Shares and, if the occurrence of such effective withdrawal or loss is later than the Effective Time, will be treated as if such holder’s Shares, as of the Effective Time, had been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, as set forth in Section 3.1(a), upon surrender of the Certificate or Certificates.

-8-

Section 3.4. Surrender of Shares.

(a) Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent will deposit or cause to be deposited with a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Offer Price (calculated for the purposes of this Section 3.4(a) assuming that all outstanding Shares are tendered into the Offer), and Parent will cause the Paying Agent to timely make all payments contemplated in Section 3.4(b). Such cash may be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇; provided (i) that such investments must be in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty days or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, (ii) no such investment will relieve Parent, Purchaser or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article III and (iii) no such investment will have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as Parent directs. No loss incurred with respect to such investments will decrease the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the amount of cash held by the Paying Agent is insufficient to pay the aggregate Offer Price, Parent will promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make all such payment pursuant to Section 3.4(b). The aggregate Offer Price as so deposited with the Paying Agent will not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section 3.4(b), except as expressly provided for in this Agreement. Any portion of the cash made available to the Paying Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares will be returned to Parent, upon demand.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within three Business Days thereafter), Parent will cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate (a “Certificate”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares which were converted pursuant to Section 3.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company (which will (x) specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate will pass, only upon delivery of such Certificate to the Paying Agent and (y) contain such other provisions as are customary and reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificate, as well as a duly completed letter of transmittal, and such other customary documents, each in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent, as may be reasonably required to be delivered pursuant to the instructions contained in the letter of transmittal, in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and properly completed, and such other customary documents, each in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent, as may be reasonably required to be delivered pursuant to the instructions of such letter of transmittal, the holder of such Certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered will be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.4(b), each Certificate will be deemed, at any time after the Effective Time, to represent only

-9-

the right to receive the Merger Consideration and will not evidence any interest in, or any right to exercise the rights of a stockholder or other equity holder of, the Company or the Surviving Corporation; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of the applicable Shares may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificates so surrendered are registered if such Certificates are properly endorsed or otherwise are in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment pays any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect thereof or establishes, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation, that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(c) A holder of record of book-entry Shares (“Book-Entry Shares”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares which were converted pursuant to Section 3.1 into the right to receive Merger Consideration will, upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive in exchange for such Book-Entry Shares, Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Book-Entry Share, and such Book-Entry Share will be cancelled. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares will only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until such “agent’s message” (or such other evidence) is received, each Book-Entry Share will be deemed, at any time after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration and will not evidence any interest in, or any right to exercise the rights of a stockholder or other equity holder of, the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

(d) At any time following the date that is twelve months after the Effective Time, Parent may require the Paying Agent to deliver to Parent any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) that have been made available to the Paying Agent and that have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share. The Surviving Corporation will pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares for the Merger Consideration. None of Parent, Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate has not been surrendered, or the applicable “agent’s message” or other evidence is not received in respect of a Book-Entry Share, immediately prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, any Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such time become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust, unincorporated organization, other entity or group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) previously entitled thereto.

-10-

(e) From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company will be closed, and no subsequent transfers of Shares that were issued prior to the Effective Time will be registered. After the Effective Time, any Certificate or Book-Entry Share presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer will be cancelled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in, this Article III.

(f) In the event that any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed (and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such holder of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be reasonably required by Parent or the Paying Agent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate), upon the holder’s delivery of an affidavit of loss to the Paying Agent, Parent will cause the Paying Agent to deliver as consideration for the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 3.5. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board will take all necessary and appropriate action to approve, for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations thereunder, the disposition by Company directors and officers of Shares and Company Equity Awards in the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 3.6. Withholding.

(ii) the Company Board or a committee thereof may make a Change of Board Recommendation if and only if (A) the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.3(a) and that the Company Board or a committee thereof determines in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, (B) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect a Change of Board Recommendation and (C) no earlier than the end of the Notice Period, the Company Board or a committee thereof determines in good faith that the failure to make a Change of Board Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, after consultation with outside counsel and taking into consideration any changes to this Agreement that Parent has irrevocably committed to make during the Notice Period;

Section 6.4. Employment and Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its other Subsidiaries to, maintain for each individual employed by the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Current Employee”), for the one-year period following the Effective Time, or if sooner, the termination of employment of the applicable Current Employee, (i) base compensation and cash incentive compensation opportunity at least as favorable as that provided to the Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits maintained for and provided to the Current Employees as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) severance benefits that are at least as favorable as the severance benefits provided by the Company to the Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (with the comparison of benefits under clause (ii) determined with reference to benefits other than equity compensation and other forms of equity incentive-based compensation, defined benefit pension plans, and retiree welfare benefits). Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser acknowledges that the occurrence of the Acceptance Time will constitute a change in control (or other similar term) of the Company under the terms of the Company Plans containing provisions triggering payment, vesting or other rights upon a change in control or similar transaction.

(b) At any time period to the Acceptance Time, the Company may pay to each designated employee a bonus in such amount as is determined by the Company Board (or a committee of the Company Board) within the parameters disclosed in Section 6.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

-43-

(c) Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause service rendered by Current Employees to the Company prior to the Effective Time to be taken into account for the purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not for accrual of benefits other than determining the level of vacation pay accrual and severance benefits) under all employee benefit plans of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, to the same extent as such service was taken into account under the corresponding Company Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time for those purposes; provided, that, the foregoing will not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Surviving Corporation to waive any eligibility requirements, waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements or pre-existing condition limitations for Current Employees under any employee benefit plan of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries for any condition for which they would have been entitled to coverage under the corresponding Company Plan in which they participated prior to the Effective Time. Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to give such Current Employees credit under such employee benefit plans for any eligible expenses incurred by such Current Employees and their covered dependents under a Company Plan during the portion of the year prior to the Effective Time for purposes of satisfying all co-payment, co-insurance, deductibles, and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Current Employees and their covered dependents in respect of the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(d) If requested by Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “401(k) Plan Termination Date”) and contingent upon the Closing, adopt such necessary resolutions and any amendments required by Law to the G1 Therapeutics 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) to terminate the 401(k) Plan as of the 401(k) Plan Termination Date. The form and substance of such resolutions and any necessary amendments required by Law shall be subject to the prior review of Parent, and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments made by Parent or Parent’s Representatives regarding the content of such documents. The Company shall deliver to Parent an executed copy of such resolutions and any necessary amendments as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date following their adoption by the Company Board. If the 401(k) Plan is so terminated as of the 401(k) Plan Termination Date, (i) Parent, or its Affiliates, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit each Current Employee who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, participates in the 401(k) Plan to make rollover contributions of eligible rollover distributions, including plan loans, to a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan maintained by Parent or its Affiliate (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that each Current Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Parent 401(k) Plan as of the Closing Date.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.6, no provision of this Agreement (i) prohibits Parent or the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any individual Company Plan or any other employee benefit plan in accordance with its terms, (ii) requires Parent or the Surviving Corporation to keep any Person employed for any period of time, (iii) constitutes the establishment or adoption of, or amendment to, any Company Plan or other employee benefit plan or (iv) confers upon any Current Employee or any other Person any third-party beneficiary or similar rights or remedies.

(a) Parent and Purchaser will cause the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities of present and former directors, officers and employees of the Company than are currently provided in the Company Organizational Documents, which provisions may not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals until the later of (i) six years from the Effective Time and (ii) in the event that any Action is pending or asserted or any claim made during the period set forth in clause (i), until the disposition of any such Action or claim, unless such amendment, modification or repeal is required by applicable Law, in which case Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation to, make such changes to the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws as to have the least adverse effect on the rights of the individuals referenced in this Section 6.5.

(b) Without limiting any additional rights that any Person may have under any agreement or Company Plan, from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each present (as of the Effective Time) or former director or officer of the Company (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors, administrators or Affiliates, an “Indemnified Party”), against any and all obligations to pay a judgment, settlement or penalty and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission, including any action or omission in connection with the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, employee, Affiliate, fiduciary or agent of the Company, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at, or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation will advance to each Indemnified Party reasonable expenses incurred in the defense of the Action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (provided that any Person to whom expenses are advanced will have provided, to the extent required by the DGCL, an undertaking to repay such advances if it is finally determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may purchase prior to the Effective Time, and if the Company does not purchase prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will purchase at or after the Effective Time, a tail policy under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained at such time by the Company (a “D&O Tail Policy”), which D&O Tail Policy (i) will be effective for a period from the Effective Time through and including the date that is six years after the Effective Time with respect to claims arising from facts or events that existed or occurred prior to or at the Effective Time and (ii) will contain coverage that is at least as protective to such directors and officers as the coverage provided by such existing policies; provided, that, the annual premium for such tail policy may not exceed three hundred percent of the last annual premium paid prior to the Effective Time (the “Maximum Amount”). If the aggregate premium of such insurance policies exceed the Maximum Amount then the Company may, and the Surviving Corporation will, purchase a D&O Tail Policy with the greatest amount of coverage as is available at a cost up to, but not exceeding, such Maximum Amount. Parent will cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect for their full term and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation.

-45-

(d) Without limiting any of the rights or obligations under this Section 6.5, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with the terms and conditions of, any agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement between the Company and any Indemnified Party providing for the indemnification of such Indemnified Party and Parent hereby guarantees the obligations of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to such agreements.

(e) This Section 6.5 will survive the consummation of the Merger and is intended to benefit, and is enforceable by, any Person or entity referred to in this Section 6.5. The indemnification and advancement provided for in this Section 6.5 is not exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnified Party is entitled whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity resulting from such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent will make proper provisions such that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the applicable obligations set forth in this Section 6.5.

Section 6.6. Further Action; Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, each party will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions as promptly as possible and, in any event, by or before the Outside Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that (i) they will each cause their ultimate parent entity (as such term is defined in the HSR Act) to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act and all other filings required pursuant to applicable foreign Antitrust Laws with respect to the Offer and Merger as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the expiration of any applicable legal deadline (provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and Parent in writing, the filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act must be made within ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement) and (ii) the parties will supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by a Governmental Body pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law. The parties also will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other parties in advance, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of such party in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto agree (A) to give each other reasonable advance notice of all meetings with any Governmental Body relating to any Antitrust Laws, (B) to give each other an opportunity to participate in each of such meetings, (C) to the extent practicable, to give each other reasonable advance notice of all substantive oral communications with any Governmental Body relating to any Antitrust Laws, (D) if any Governmental Body initiates a substantive oral

-46-

communication regarding any Antitrust Laws, to promptly notify the other party of the substance of such communication, (E) to provide each other with a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon all substantive written communications (including any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals) with a Governmental Body regarding any Antitrust Laws and (F) to provide each other with copies of all written communications to or from any Governmental Body relating to any Antitrust Laws; provided, that in connection with sharing information pursuant to this Section 6.6(a), the parties may redact any commercially sensitive information or share such information on an “outside counsel” only basis and, unless explicitly excluded, in-house counsel of the recipient approved by the providing party and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel or approved in-house counsel to other Representatives of the recipient unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials or its legal counsel. Any such disclosures or provision of copies by one party to the other may be made on an outside counsel basis, if appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall jointly control the strategy and timing for obtaining any approvals or clearances required or advisable under any Antitrust Laws in connection with this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any consents, clearances or approvals required under or in connection with the HSR Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal, state or foreign Law designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or significant impediment of effective competition (collectively “Antitrust Laws”) to enable all waiting periods under applicable Antitrust Laws to expire, and to avoid or eliminate impediments under applicable Antitrust Laws asserted by any Governmental Body, in each case, to cause the Merger to occur as promptly as possible and, in any event, by or before the Outside Date, including (i) promptly complying with any requests for additional information (including any second request) by any Governmental Body, (ii) if necessary to obtain clearance by any Governmental Body before the Outside Date, committing to and effecting any required action or restriction and (iii) contesting, defending and appealing any threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation or executive order that would adversely affect the ability of any party hereto to consummate the Offer and the Merger and taking other actions to prevent the entry, enactment or promulgation thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent or any of its Affiliates shall be required to agree to or proffer to sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber or impair Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ ability to own or operate any assets or properties of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including for the avoidance of doubt, any equity or other interests in the Company) or any assets or properties of the Company or any of its Affiliates if, in each case, such action would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company, or Parent and its Subsidiaries. Furthermore, Parent shall not take, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to not take, any action or omit to take any action that reasonably would be expected to delay clearance by any Governmental Body or to make clearance by any Governmental Body before the Outside Date less probable or more difficult to obtain. Parent shall bear the expenses and costs incurred by the parties in connection with any filings or other such actions that may be required to obtain clearance under any Antitrust Law for the consummation of the Offer and the Merger.

-47-

(c) Without limiting the obligations in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 6.6, in the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Body challenging the Offer or the Merger, each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company will cooperate in all respects with each other and will use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction, decision or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Offer or the Merger.

(d) Prior to the Acceptance Time, each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents, approvals or waivers of third parties with respect to any Contracts to which it is a party as may be necessary for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or required by the terms of any Contract as a result of the execution, performance or consummation of the Contemplated Transactions; provided, that, in no event will the Company be required to pay, prior to the Effective Time, any fee, penalty or other consideration or make any other accommodation to any third party to obtain any consent, approval or waiver required with respect to any such Contract.

Section 6.7. Public Announcements. The Company will not, and Parent will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, issue any press release or announcement concerning the Contemplated Transactions without the prior consent of the other (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except any release or announcement required by applicable Law or any rule or regulation of Nasdaq or any other stock exchange to which the relevant party is subject, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement will use commercially reasonable efforts to allow each other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance; it being understood that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, to the extent so required, will be at the final discretion of the disclosing party. The restrictions of this Section 6.7 do not apply to communications by the Company in connection with, or following, a Change of Board Recommendation or any dispute or Action among the parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may, without complying with the foregoing obligations, make internal announcements to employees or external announcements to third parties to the extent that such statements are not inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the parties or approved by the parties, and otherwise in compliance with this Section 6.7.

Section 6.8. Approval of Compensation Actions. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Compensation Committee of the Company Board will take all such actions as may be required to approve, as an employment compensation, severance, or other employee benefit arrangement in accordance with Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and the instructions thereto, any and all Compensation Actions taken after January 1 of the current fiscal year and prior to the Acceptance Time that have not already been so approved. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Compensation Action” means any (a) granting by the Company to any present or former director or officer of any increase in compensation or benefits or of the right to receive any severance or termination compensation or benefit; (b) entry by the Company into any employment, consulting, indemnification, termination, change of control, non-competition or severance agreement with any present or former director or officer, or any approval, amendment or modification of any such agreement; or (c) approval of, amendment to or adoption of any Company Plan.

-48-

Section 6.9. Conduct of Parent and Purchaser.

(a) Parent will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, take any action or fail to take any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in any Offer Conditions or the conditions to the Merger not being satisfied or prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of Parent and Purchaser to consummate the Offer, the Merger or the other Contemplated Transactions.

(b) Parent shall, immediately following execution of this Agreement, cause this Agreement to be approved by the sole stockholder of Purchaser in accordance with applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other governing documents) of Purchaser and deliver evidence thereof to the Company.

Section 6.10. No Control of the Company’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement gives Parent or Purchaser, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations.

Section 6.11. Operations of Purchaser. Prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser will not engage in any other business activities and will not incur any liabilities or obligations other than as contemplated herein. Parent shall take all actions necessary to cause Purchaser to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. All obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement will be deemed joint obligations of Parent, as a principal obligor thereof and not merely as guarantor.

Section 6.12. Ownership of Company Securities. Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, own (directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record) any Company Securities, and none of Parent, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates will hold any rights to acquire any Company Securities except pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the prohibitions set forth in this Section 6.12 will not apply to any investment in any securities of the Company by or on behalf of any pension or employee benefit plan or trust, including (a) any direct or indirect interests in portfolio securities held by an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (b) interests in securities comprising part of a mutual fund or broad based, publicly traded market basket, or index of stocks approved for such a plan or trust in which such plan or trust invests and, in all cases, over which Parent, Purchaser or their respective Subsidiaries exercise no investment discretion and provided such beneficial ownership does not result in an obligation by Parent, Purchaser or their respective Subsidiaries to file or amend a Schedule 13D pursuant to the Exchange Act.

-49-

Section 6.13. Stockholder Litigation. The Company will notify Parent of actions, suits or claims instituted against the Company or any of its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions (“Stockholder Litigation”). Parent will have the right to participate in the defense of any such Stockholder Litigation, the Company will consult with Parent regarding the defense of any such Stockholder Litigation and the Company will not settle or compromise any Stockholder Litigation without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 6.14. Treatment of Certain Indebtedness. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Parent, at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a draft of (and on the Closing Date, an executed copy of) a customary payoff letter from the lenders under the Hercules LSA relating to the repayment in full of all obligations thereunder or secured thereby (including any prepayment or end of term premium, penalties and charges, but excluding any inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of the Hercules LSA), the termination of the Hercules LSA and all commitments in connection therewith and the release of all Liens securing the obligations thereunder (the “Payoff Letter”) following the payment by Parent in full and in immediately available funds, at the Closing, of any and all amounts outstanding and then due and payable on such date under the Hercules LSA in accordance with the Payoff Letter. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver (or cause the agent or lenders under the Hercules LSA to deliver) to Parent on or prior to the Closing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, all the documents, filings and notices required to evidence the termination of the Hercules LSA and effect the release of all Liens securing the obligations thereunder following the payment by Parent in full and in immediately available funds, at the Closing, of any and all amounts outstanding and then due and payable on such date under the Hercules LSA in accordance with the Payoff Letter, including the filing of UCC termination statements, terminations of control agreements, terminations of Intellectual Property security agreements and delivery of possessory collateral, which shall in each case be subject to the occurrence of the Closing and the repayment in full of all obligations then outstanding under the Hercules LSA (other than any inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of the Hercules LSA). At the Closing, Parent shall pay or shall cause to be paid, in full and in immediately available funds, any and all amounts outstanding and then due and payable on such date under the Hercules LSA in accordance with the Payoff Letter.

Section 6.15. Stock Exchange Delisting; Deregistration. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable laws and rules and policies of Nasdaq to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the Shares from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

-52-

(b) the Company Board or any committee thereof effects a Change of Board Recommendation.

Section 8.5. Effect of Termination.

(a) Any termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article VIII will be effective immediately upon the delivery of a written notice of the terminating party to the non-terminating party and, if then due, payment of the Company Termination Fee. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VIII, this Agreement (other than Section 1.1(d), the last sentence of Section 1.3, Section 6.2(b), Article VIII and Article IX, each of which will survive any termination of this Agreement) will become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any party (or of any of its Representatives); provided, however, that except in a circumstance where the Company Termination Fee is paid pursuant to Section 8.5(b), and subject to Section 8.5(c), no such termination will relieve any Person of any liability for damages resulting from material breach of this Agreement that is a consequence of an act or omission intentionally undertaken by the breaching party with the knowledge that such act or omission would result in a material breach of this Agreement (an “Intentional Breach”) (or would constitute “fraud” (defined as actual (not constructive) common law fraud under Delaware law) with respect to the making of an express representation or warranty contained in this Agreement), which liability, the parties acknowledge and agree, in the event of a failure by Parent to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, shall not be limited to reimbursement of out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses, in connection with the Contemplated Transactions and shall include damages based on loss of the economic benefit of the Contemplated Transactions to the Company and the stockholders of the Company (taking into consideration all relevant matters, including as a result of any foregone opportunities, or combination opportunities and the time value of money); it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall in no way prohibit, limit or otherwise impair the Company’s injunction, specific performance and equitable relief rights and related rights set forth in Section 9.13. Parent will cause the Offer to be terminated immediately after any termination of this Agreement.

(b) In the event that:

(i) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(b);

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(b); or

(iii) (A) this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(b) (but in the case of a termination by the Company, only if at such time Parent would not be prohibited from terminating this Agreement pursuant to the last proviso of Section 8.2(b)), (B) any Person has publicly disclosed and not withdrawn an Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination and (C) within twelve months after such termination, the Company enters into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to the Acquisition Proposal (and the transactions contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal are subsequently consummated) or such Acquisition Proposal is consummated (provided, that, for purposes of clause (C) of this Section 8.5(b)(iii), references to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal will be substituted for “50%”);

-53-

then, in any such case, the Company will pay Parent a termination fee of $12,140,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by Parent. Any payment required to be made (1) pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 8.5(b) will be paid concurrently with such termination, (2) pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 8.5(b) will be paid no later than three Business Days after such termination and (3) pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 8.5(b) will be payable to Parent upon consummation of the transaction referenced therein; provided, that Parent shall have timely provided wire instructions for such payment to be made or, to the extent that Parent has failed to timely provide wire instructions for payment, promptly upon receipt by the Company of such instructions. The Company will not be required to pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.5(b) more than once.

(c) Each of the parties further acknowledges that the payment by the Company of the Company Termination Fee, if and when payable, is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Purchaser in the circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Subject in all respects to Parent’s injunction, specific performance and equitable relief rights and related rights set forth in Section 9.13, in the circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable pursuant to this Section 8.5, Parent’s receipt of the Company Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive monetary damages remedy of Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, financing sources, managers, members, directors, officers or Affiliates (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) against the Company and any of its former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, managers, members or Affiliates (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) in respect of any breach of, or inaccuracy contained in, the Company’s covenants, agreements, representations or warranties in this Agreement or for any other loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon receipt of the Company Termination Fee, none of the Company Related Parties will have any further liability or obligations relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions. While Parent may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 9.13 and the payment of the Company Termination Fee under this Section 8.5, under no circumstances shall Parent be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in a Closing and any money damages, including all or any portion of the Company Termination Fee.

Section 8.6. Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each party will bear its own expenses in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

-54-

Section 8.7. Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto prior to the Acceptance Time. At any time prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Purchaser, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) subject to the requirements of applicable Law, waive compliance by the other with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein, except that the Minimum Tender Condition may only be waived by Purchaser with the prior written consent of the Company. Any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. The failure of any party to assert any rights or remedies will not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies.

ARTICLE IX

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.1. Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. None of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Effective Time, except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Effective Time and (b) this Article IX. The Confidentiality Agreement will survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder must be in writing and must be given (and will be deemed to have been duly given): (a) when delivered, if delivered in Person, (b) when sent, if sent by email (assuming no “Bounce-Back” message is received), (c) three Business Days after sending, if sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) and (d) one Business Day after sending, if sent by overnight courier, in each case, to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as have been specified by like notice):

Section 9.11. Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby (i) expressly and irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or if such Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement, the Offer, or the Merger, (ii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement, the Offer, or the Merger in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or if such Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware; provided, that, each of the parties hereto has the right to bring any action or proceeding for enforcement of a judgment entered by such court in any other court or jurisdiction.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATION OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) EACH OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

However, the foregoing will not limit the right of a party to effect service of process on the other party by any other legally available method.

Section 9.13. Specific Performance.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any breach of or failure to perform any provision of this Agreement, irreparable harm would occur that monetary damages, even if available, could not make whole. It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, to and injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to compel specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement in any action without proof of damages or otherwise and without the posting of a bond or undertaking. The right of specific enforcement provided in this Section 9.13 is an integral part of the Contemplated Transactions and without that right, none of the Company, Parent or Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto hereby waive, in any action for specific performance, any and all defenses on the basis that, a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason or that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties hereto otherwise have adequate remedy at law.

(b) Notwithstanding the parties’ rights to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.13(a), each party may pursue any other remedy available to it at law or in equity, including monetary damages.
