(i) Company Shares.

(b) Adjustment to the Merger Consideration. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for Company Shares, occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration, the Option Consideration and the RSU Consideration shall be equitably adjusted so as to provide any Company Stockholder and any holder of Company Equity Awards the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that, in any case, nothing in this Section 2.7(b) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Statutory Rights of Appraisal.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all Company Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by Company Stockholders who are entitled to demand and have properly and validly demanded their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such Company Shares in compliance in all respects with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, “Dissenting Company Shares”), shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7(a), but instead such holder will be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such holder of Dissenting Company Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Company Shares held by Company Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall no longer be considered to be Dissenting Company Shares and shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding Tax deductible in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.8(e), upon surrender of such Company Shares in the manner provided in Section 2.8.

(ii) The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares and (B) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

-18-

(e) Company RSU Awards. Each Company RSU Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Merger Consideration, which amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.7(f) (the “RSU Consideration”).

(f) Payment in Respect of Company Equity Awards. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than 10 Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay through the payroll of the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Subsidiary the aggregate Option Consideration and the aggregate RSU Consideration, with such amounts to be paid net of any withholding Taxes required to be deducted and withheld by applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any such amounts relate to a Company Equity Award that is nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the applicable Subsidiary shall pay such amounts at the earliest time permitted under the terms of the applicable agreement, plan or arrangement relating to such Company Equity Award and that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

2.8 Payment for Company Securities; Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall designate and appoint a nationally recognized, reputable U.S. bank or trust company (the identity of which shall be subject to the reasonable prior approval of the Company) to act as the paying agent for the Company Stockholders entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i) at the Effective Time (the “Paying Agent”).

(b) Exchange Fund. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Paying Agent, for payment to the Company Stockholders pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which Company Stockholders are entitled under this Article II (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Option Consideration or the RSU Consideration). Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent, as reasonably directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (such cash amount being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”). Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent or the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Section 2.8(g). No investment or losses thereon shall affect the consideration to which holders of Company Shares are entitled under this Article II and to the extent that there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the amount required to promptly pay in full the cash amounts contemplated by this Article II, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make in full such payments contemplated by this Article II. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as expressly provided in this Agreement.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of (i) a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares and (ii) non-certificated Company Shares represented in book-entry form (the “Uncertificated Shares”), in each case, whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7 (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Upon surrender of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares represented by such Certificate that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.8(e)), and the

-20-

Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the holders of such Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Tax deductible in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.8(e)), and the Uncertificated Shares so transferred shall forthwith be canceled. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates and transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.8. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares (other than Certificates and Uncertificated Shares representing any Canceled Company Shares or Dissenting Company Shares) shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 2.8(e), payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. In the event that a transfer of ownership of Company Shares is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if the Merger Consideration is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered is registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid any transfer Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares, or established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable. None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation shall have any liability for any such Taxes in the circumstances described in this Section 2.8(d).

(e) Required Withholding. Each of the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Shares and Company Equity Awards such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Tax Laws. Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Company to obtain any affidavits, certificates and other documents as may reasonably be expected to afford to the Company and its stockholders reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted and withheld, each such payor shall take all action as may be necessary to ensure any such amounts so withheld are timely and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority. Any amounts deducted and withheld under this Agreement that are timely and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

-21-

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Company Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Shares at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest or other amounts earned with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any Company Stockholders who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time for exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall thereafter look for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Company Shares formerly represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Merger Consideration to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

2.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. From and after the Effective Time, all Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist, and (a) each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares theretofore representing any Company Shares (other than Dissenting Company Shares or Canceled Company Shares) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable therefor upon the surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8, (b) each holder of any Dissenting Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights specified in Section 2.7(c) and (c) each holder of any Canceled Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto. The Merger Consideration or the consideration specified in Section 2.7(c), as applicable, paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of a customary affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, in the form and substance as reasonably requested by the Paying Agent, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof

-22-

pursuant to Section 2.7; provided, however, that the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a customary indemnity (which may include the posting of a bond in a reasonable amount) against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.11 Necessary Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to continue, vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise the Surviving Corporation’s right, title or interest in, to or under, or duty or obligation with respect to, any of the property, rights, privileges, powers or franchises, or any of the debts or Liabilities, of the Company as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger, or otherwise to carry out the intent of this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assumptions and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to continue, vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise any and all right, title and interest in, to and under, or duty or obligation with respect to, such property, rights, privileges, powers or franchises, or any such debts or Liabilities, in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives (provided that (x) the Company shall substantially concurrently provide or make available to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to such Person and which was not previously provided or made available to Parent and (y) the Company shall have entered into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Person and provided Parent a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) and (C) participate and engage in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal (and waive such Person’s noncompliance with the provisions of any “standstill” agreement solely to the extent necessary to permit such discussions or negotiations).

with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (B) in the case of receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, (C) the Company provides written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days prior to effecting a Company Board Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) of its intent to take such action, specifying the reasons therefor, including, in the case of receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (including a copy of all definitive agreements in respect thereof and any other relevant proposed transaction documentation (including any financing commitments)) (a “Change of Recommendation/Termination Notice”), (D) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii), the Company negotiates, and causes its Representatives to negotiate, with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) during such four (4) Business Day period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would obviate the basis for a Company Board Recommendation Change or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) and (E) no earlier than the end of such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel), after considering any proposed amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent during such four (4) Business Day period, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (and, in the case of receipt of such Acquisition Proposal, that such Acquisition Proposal is a binding written offer capable of acceptance by the Company and continues to constitute a Superior Proposal).

(a) The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time shall (and, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under (i) the indemnification agreements set forth on Section 6.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, in each case, true, accurate and complete copies of which have been made available to Parent and as in effect on the date of this Agreement, between (A) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (B) any of their respective current or former directors and officers or any Person serving or who served as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension, employee benefit plan or other enterprise at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), and (ii) indemnification, expense advancement and exculpation provisions in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (and any other governing documents), as applicable, of the Company or its applicable Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and any other governing documents), as applicable, of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses with respect to any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (and any other governing documents), as applicable, of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six (6) year period, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner materially adverse to the Indemnified Persons except as required by applicable Law.

The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) maintain such “tail” insurance in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Person notifies the Parent, Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries on or prior to the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time that a claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation, arbitration or inquiry (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) has been made against or involves such Indemnified Person, the provisions of this Section 6.7 shall continue in full force and effect with respect to such claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation arbitration or inquiry until the final disposition thereof.

The rights provided under this Section 6.7 are in addition to, and shall not be deemed to be exclusive of, any other rights to which any Indemnified Person is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise.

6.8 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of twelve months following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) provide to each Continuing Employee for so long as he or she remains in the employment of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries: (i) a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, and annual cash incentive opportunity that, in each case, is not less than the base salary or wage rate (as applicable) and annual incentive opportunity, respectively, provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) other compensation and employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to either, at Parent’s election, (A) the other compensation and employee benefits (excluding any equity-based compensation, defined benefit pensions or post-employment health or welfare benefits, and retention, change in control or other one-off payments or benefits) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time or (B) the other compensation and employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees (but subject to Section 6.8(b) and excluding any grandfathered benefits closed to new hires) of Parent and its Affiliates.

(b) To the extent that a Plan or any other employee benefit plan or other compensation or severance arrangement of the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries (together, the “New Plans”) is made available to any Continuing Employee on or following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (i) for purposes of vesting (but not eligibility or benefit accrual) under Parent’s defined benefit pension plan, (ii) for purposes of eligibility and benefit accrual for vacation under Parent’s vacation program, (iii) for purposes of eligibility to participate in any health or welfare plan maintained by Parent (other than any post-employment health or post-employment welfare plan) and the Parent 401(k) plans and (iv) unless covered under another arrangement with or of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, for benefit calculation purposes under Parent’s severance plan; provided, however, that in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), such service need not be credited to the extent that (A) such service is not taken into account under the analogous Plans before the Effective Time (as reflected in the records of the applicable Plan); or (B) it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to use commercially reasonable efforts to) ensure that (I) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under any such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”) and (II) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision and/or disability benefits to any Continuing Employee, all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan will be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent they did not apply to the Continuing Employee under the corresponding Old Plan and any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during any unfinished portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins will be given full credit under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing 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. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to take any action to the extent Parent determines that such action could make a Continuing Employee (or eligible dependent) ineligible for a benefit (for example, if credit for past contributions would make the Continuing Employee ineligible for health savings account contributions from Parent).

-61-

(c) Prior to making any broad-based written or material oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefits to be provided to employees at or following the Closing (other than any such communications consistent in all material respects with prior communications made by the Company or Parent), including the treatment of Company Equity Awards, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, and Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication which comments will be considered by the Company and its Subsidiaries in good faith.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries to terminate, any Continuing Employee for any reason, (ii) constitute an amendment to any Plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement, (iii) require Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries to continue any Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time or (iv) create any obligation of the parties to any Person (other than the other parties hereto) with respect to any employee compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement. The provisions of this Section 6.8 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement. No Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Section 6.8, and no provision of this Section 6.8 shall create such rights in any such Persons.

6.9 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement before and after the Effective Time, as applicable (including, with respect to Merger Sub, to consummate the Transactions upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement).

6.10 Certain Litigation. The Company shall promptly advise Parent of any Legal Proceeding commenced after the date hereof against the Company and/or any of its directors (in their capacity as such) by any Company Stockholders (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Company) relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding any such Legal Proceeding. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding, or participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any such Legal Proceeding. The Company may not enter into any settlement agreement in respect of such Legal Proceeding against the Company and/or its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event of, and to the extent of, any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 6.10 and Section 5.1 or Section 6.1, this Section 6.10 will control.

6.11 Delisting. Each of the parties agrees to cooperate with the other parties in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Company Shares from NASDAQ and terminate its registration under the Exchange Act, provided that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until after the Effective Time.

The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, (i) of any notice or other communication received by such party from any Person alleging that the Consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with any of the Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such Consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, (ii) of any Legal Proceeding commenced or, to any party’s Knowledge, threatened against, such party or any of its Affiliates or otherwise relating to such party or any of its Affiliates, in each case relating to any of the Transactions and (iii) if it obtains Knowledge of, or otherwise becomes aware of (A) any breach by such party of its representations, warranties and covenants hereunder and (B) in the case of the Company, of any Effect that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or would reasonably be excepted to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Company to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to any party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the failure to deliver any such notice, in and of itself, shall not affect any of the conditions to the Merger (or cause any such conditions to fail to be satisfied) or give rise to any right to terminate under Article VIII.

(a) by mutual written agreement of Parent and the Company;

-66-

(b) by either Parent or the Company:

(i) if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before July 5, 2024 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that if on the original Termination Date any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) (solely in respect of any Antitrust Law or Order under any Antitrust Law), Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.2(e) shall not have been satisfied or waived, then the Termination Date shall be automatically extended to October 7, 2024 (and all references to the Termination Date herein shall be as so extended); provided, further, that if, on the Termination Date as extended by the immediately preceding proviso, any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a) (solely in respect of any Antitrust Law or Order under any Antitrust Law), Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.2(e) shall not have been satisfied or waived, then the Termination Date shall be automatically extended to January 6, 2025 (and all references to the Termination Date herein shall be as so extended); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party hereto (which shall include, in the case of Parent, Parent and Merger Sub) whose material breach of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Effective Time to occur on or before the date of such termination;

(ii) if there exists any Law or Order having the effect set forth in Section 7.1(a) (which, in each case, has become final and non-appealable); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any party hereto (which shall include, in the case of Parent, Parent and Merger Sub) whose material breach of its representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement shall have been the principal cause of or resulted in the existence of such Law or Order or to any party that has failed to use its reasonable best efforts as required by Section 6.1 (subject to Section 6.2(b)) to remove such Law or Order; or

(ii) (A) a Company Board Recommendation Change shall have occurred or (B) following receipt by the Company of an Acquisition Proposal that is publicly announced or otherwise publicly known, the Company shall have failed to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a written request by Parent to provide such reaffirmation.

8.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. Any proper and valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of written notice by the terminating party to the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, specifying the provision or provisions pursuant to which such termination is being effected. In the event of the proper and valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and there shall be no liability of any party or parties hereto (or any director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent or other representative of such party or parties) to the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, except (a) for the last sentence of Section 6.5, this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article IX and the terms of Confidentiality Agreement, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party or parties hereto, as applicable, from any liability or damage resulting from any Fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement that occurs prior to such termination.

(b) Termination Fee. The Company shall pay to Parent $70,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent, in the event that:

(i) (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to (1) Section 8.1(b)(i) (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 to Section 8.1(b)(i)) or (2) Section 8.1(b)(iii); (B) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to such termination of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or shall have become publicly disclosed or publicly known and such Acquisition Proposal has not been publicly and unconditionally withdrawn prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to (1) in the case of clause (A)(1), such termination of this Agreement or (2) in the case of clause (A)(2), the Company Stockholders’ Meeting; and (C) within twelve (12) months following such termination of this Agreement, (x) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with any third party with respect to an Acquisition Transaction or (y) an Acquisition Transaction is consummated; in which case the Termination Fee shall be payable within two (2) Business Days after the earlier of the events in clause (C)(x) or (y);

For purposes of the references to an “Acquisition Proposal” or an “Acquisition Transaction” in Section 8.3(b)(i), all references to “twenty percent (20%)” or “eighty percent (80%)” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%).”

(d) Transfer Taxes. Except as expressly provided in Section 2.8(d), all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes and fees incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by Parent and Merger Sub when due and expressly shall not be a liability of holders of Company Shares.

-69-

(e) Termination Fee as Sole and Exclusive Remedy. The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in Section 8.3(b) are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to Section 8.3(b), then (i) the Company shall reimburse Parent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket disbursements and fees of outside legal counsel) incurred in the collection of such overdue amount, including in connection with any related Legal Proceedings, and (ii) the Company shall pay to Parent interest on the amount payable pursuant to Section 8.3(b) from and including the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. The payment by the Company of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b), and, if applicable, any payments under this Section 8.3(e), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub in the event of termination of this Agreement under circumstances requiring the payment of a Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b) for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent or any of its Affiliates or Representatives in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (and the termination thereof or any matter forming the basis for such termination), including the Merger; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.3(e) shall limit the rights or remedies of Parent or any of its Affiliates under Section 9.8(b) or in the case of Fraud or Willful Breach.

8.4 Amendment. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time prior to the Effective Time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company; provided, however, that following receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, there shall be no amendment or change to the provisions hereof which by Law would require further approval by the Company Stockholders without such approval.

8.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, any party or parties hereto (it being agreed that any extension or waiver by Parent also shall be an effective extension or waiver by Merger Sub) may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party or parties hereto contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party or parties hereto contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party or parties hereto to any such extension or waiver (it being agreed that any agreement to an extension or waiver by Parent also shall be an effective extension or waiver by Merger Sub) shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party or parties, as applicable. Any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right. The conditions to each of the parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

9.3 Assignment. No party may assign (by operation of Law or otherwise) either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties, except that Parent and Merger Sub may assign all or any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Parent; provided that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations under this Agreement if such assignee does not perform such obligations. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement will be void ab initio.

9.4 Confidentiality. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby acknowledge that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Research & Development, LLC, an Affiliate of Parent, and the Company have previously executed a Confidential Disclosure Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2023 (as amended, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which will continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto; provided that the Company hereby waives the obligations of Parent and its Affiliates under any explicit or implicit “standstill” provisions therein.

9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any schedules, annexes and exhibits hereto) and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter and the Annexes hereto, and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

9.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated by the terms and provisions of Section 6.7 and (b) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of Company Stockholders and the holders of other Company Equity Awards to receive the Merger Consideration, Option Consideration or RSU Consideration, as applicable, as provided in Article II.

9.7 Severability. In the event that any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Merger is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Merger be effected as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

-72-

9.8 Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and/or Merger Sub, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall be entitled (without proof of actual damages or otherwise or posting or securing any bond) to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other under this Agreement. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, hereby agree not to oppose the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

9.9 Governing Law. This Agreement, including any claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance thereof or the Transactions, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of 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) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

9.10 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the Transactions, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 9.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, and nothing in this Section 9.10 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (b) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any action or proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept or does not have jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal or other state court sitting in New Castle County within the State of Delaware) in the event any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement or the Transactions, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof; (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (d) agrees that any actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept or does not have jurisdiction over a

-73-

particular matter, any federal or other state court sitting in New Castle County within the State of Delaware); (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (f) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of Parent, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, MERGER SUB OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATION OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

9.12 Disclosure Letter References. The parties hereto agree that the disclosure set forth in any particular section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter shall 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 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 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 reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure.

9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
