Article 2
The Merger

Section 2.01. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with Delaware Law, at the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company in accordance with Delaware Law, whereupon, the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

(a) Subject to the provisions of Article 9, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place by means of the exchange of signatures electronically at 7:00 a.m. San Francisco, California time, as soon as possible, but in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after the date the conditions set forth in Article 9 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions, or at such other time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree (the “Closing Date”).

(b) As promptly as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause a certificate of merger meeting the requirements of Section 251 of Delaware Law (the “Certificate of Merger”) relating to the Merger to be properly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the terms and conditions of Delaware Law and in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to both Parent and the Company. The Merger shall become effective at the time of filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Delaware Law, or at such later time which the parties hereto shall have agreed and designated in the Certificate of Merger as the effective time of the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

(c) The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall vest in the Company as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, and all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger.

Section 2.02. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:

(a) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b) or Section 2.04, each share of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Dissenting Shares, shall be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive $18.00 in cash, without interest and subject to Section 2.06 (the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) each share of Company Stock held by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Subsidiary, or by any other Subsidiary of Parent, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and

(c) each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.03. Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration in respect of (i) certificates representing shares of Company Stock (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”). Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Paying Agent the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Paying Agent to send, to each holder of record of shares of Company Stock at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal (in a form that was reasonably acceptable to the Company prior to the Effective Time) and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Paying Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) 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 Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Stock represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time or in the case of payments pursuant to Section 2.04, when ascertained, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Company Stock, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall, pending its disbursement to the holders of Company Stock, be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation in (w) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (x) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, (y) short-term commercial paper rated the highest quality by either ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services, or (z) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided, that no such investment or losses shall affect the amounts payable to such holders of Company Stock and Parent shall promptly replace or cause to be replaced any funds deposited with the Paying Agent that are lost through any investment so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to pay the Merger Consideration. Earnings from investments, subject to the immediately preceding proviso, shall be paid to and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Corporation. Except as contemplated by Section 2.03(e) hereof, the Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a) that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Stock one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration, in respect of such shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any amounts paid to a Public Official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Stock immediately prior to such time when such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.04 in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

Section 2.04. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who shall have, in all respects, properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares and perfected a demand for and are entitled to appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law and, as of the Effective Time, have complied in all respects with Section 262 of Delaware Law and shall not have waived, effectively withdrawn or lost such Person’s rights to such appraisal and payment under Delaware Law with respect to such shares (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.02. Such stockholders instead shall only be entitled to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of, and as provided by, Section 262 of Delaware Law. At the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist and such stockholders shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except the rights set forth in Section 262 of Delaware Law. All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have waived, withdrawn, or otherwise lost the right to appraisal of such shares of Company Stock under Section 262 of Delaware Law shall thereupon be deemed to have been canceled and converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive, without any interest thereon, and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings, the Merger Consideration upon surrender in the manner provided in Section 2.03. The Company shall (a) give Parent prompt notice of any notice or demand for appraisal or payment for shares of Company Stock or any withdrawals of such demands received by the Company prior to the Effective Time, (b) give Parent the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands and (c) not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle or otherwise negotiate, any such demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise to comply with the provisions under Section 262 of Delaware Law, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.05. Company Equity Awards.

(a) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Company Stock granted under a Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof and converted into the right to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company RSU and in settlement therefor, an amount in cash equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (as to any such Company RSU subject to performance-based vesting conditions, with such number of shares determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement and after giving effect to the change in control provisions applicable to such award), multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration (such amount, the “Company RSU Merger Consideration”). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Company RSU Merger Consideration, without interest and less any required Tax withholdings, to the holder of the applicable Company RSU through its payroll at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time). Following the Effective Time, no holder of any Company RSU shall have the right to acquire any equity interest in the Company or the Surviving Corporation in respect thereof. As of the Effective Time, all Company Stock Plans shall terminate, and, except as provided in this Section 2.05, no further rights with respect to Company RSUs or other awards thereunder shall be granted or remain outstanding or in effect thereunder.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering any Company Stock Plan) shall adopt such resolutions or take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, providing for the transactions contemplated by Section 2.05(a), including (1) the termination of all Company Stock Plans effective as of the Effective Time and (2) so that, following the Effective Time, no holder of any Company RSU shall have the right to acquire any equity interest in the Company or the Surviving Corporation in respect thereof.

(c) The rights of participants in the ESPP with respect to any offering period underway immediately prior to the Effective Time under the ESPP shall be determined by treating the last Business Day prior to the Effective Time as the last day of such offering period and by making such other pro-rata adjustments as may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period but otherwise treating such shortened offering period as a fully effective and completed offering period for all purposes under the ESPP. After the date of this Agreement, no new participants shall be permitted to enroll in the ESPP, no participant may increase the rate of his or her participation in the ESPP from the level in effect on the date of this Agreement, and no new offering or purchase period shall commence under the ESPP. The ESPP shall terminate as of the Effective Time. The Company and the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the ESPP) shall adopt such resolutions, or take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, providing for the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.05(c).

Section 2.06. Withholding Rights. Each of the Paying Agent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 2 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. If the Paying Agent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, withholds any such amounts and properly pays such amounts over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made.

Section 2.07. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

Article 3

Section 4.04. Non-contravention. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents to be delivered pursuant hereto by the Company at the Closing nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do or will (a) subject to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any equivalent organizational or governing documents of any Subsidiary of the Company, (b) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 4.03, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Applicable Law, (c) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 4.03, require any consent or other action by any Person under, constitute a default, or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, under, or cause or permit the termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled under any provision of any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, with only such exceptions, in the case of each of clauses (b) through (d), as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

Section 4.05. Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of Company Stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Preferred Stock”). As of 5:00 p.m., California time, on December 15, 2020 (the “Reference Time”), there were (i) 43,615,660 shares of Company Stock outstanding, (ii) an aggregate of 1,415,865 shares of Company Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding Company RSUs (assuming maximum vesting levels), and (iii) no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has an obligation to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any capital stock or equity or voting securities of the Company, other than to satisfy applicable withholding obligations in connection with the settlement of Company RSUs. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any voting agreement, voting trusts, stockholder agreements, registration rights agreements or similar agreements with respect to the voting of any Company Securities.

Each Subsidiary of the Company has all organizational powers and all Permits required to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to have such power or Permits would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

As promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within one (1) Business Day following the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a written notice setting forth the identity of each Excluded Party.

(b) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.03, from the No-Shop Period Start Date (or, with respect to an Excluded Party, from 11:59 p.m. New York City time on the twentieth (20th) day following the No-Shop Period Start Date) (the twentieth (20th) day, the “Cut-Off Time”) until the earlier to occur of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10 and the Effective Time, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers and directors, and shall instruct its and its Subsidiaries’ other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information in connection with or for the purpose of knowingly encouraging or knowingly facilitating, any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries, and its and their respective officers and directors to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ other Representatives to, immediately after the No Shop Period Start Date (or, with respect to an Excluded Party, the Cut-Off Time), cease any and all existing solicitation, discussions or negotiations with any Persons (or provision of any nonpublic information to any Persons) with respect to any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 6.03(b). Within five (5) Business Days following the No-Shop Period Start Date (or, with respect to an Excluded Party, within five (5) Business Days after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained), the Company shall (A) request in writing that each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal promptly destroy or return to the Company all nonpublic information heretofore furnished by the Company or any of its Representatives to such Person or any of its Representatives in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality agreement and (B) terminate access to any physical or electronic data rooms relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal by such Person and its Representatives. Notwithstanding the commencement of the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Company may continue to engage in the activities described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 6.03(a) (subject to compliance with the terms thereof) with respect to any Excluded Party, including with respect to any amended or modified Acquisition Proposal submitted by any Excluded Party following the No-Shop Period Start Date until obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, and the restrictions in this Section 6.03(b) shall not apply with respect thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, at any time from and after the No-Shop Period Start Date and prior to the Company obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that is not withdrawn from any Person that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.03(b), and if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, (i) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (ii) failure to take the actions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) below would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, then the Company and its Representatives may, in response to such Acquisition Proposal, (A) furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person that has made such written Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives; provided, that the Company shall, prior to or substantially concurrently with the delivery to such Person, provide to Parent any information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided or made available to such Person or its Representatives unless such information has been previously provided to Parent; and (B) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent in writing if the Company Board makes the determinations set forth in this Section 6.03(c).

(d) At any time after the No-Shop Period Start Date (or, with respect to an Excluded Party, the Cut-Off Time) and until the earlier to occur of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10 and the Effective Time, the Company shall (i) promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt) notify Parent in writing in the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal or any offer, proposal, inquiry or request for information or discussions relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries that is or would be reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or in each case, any amendment or modification to the material terms of any Acquisition Proposal, including the identity of the Person making the Acquisition Proposal or offer, proposal, inquiry or request and the material terms and conditions thereof (and, if the Acquisition Proposal is made in writing, an unredacted copy of such Acquisition Proposal, any relevant proposed transaction agreements and a copy of any financing commitments), and (ii) keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, as to any material developments with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, offer, proposal, inquiry or request.

(e) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 10 and the Effective Time, except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.03(e) or Section 6.03(f), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) change, qualify, withhold, withdraw or modify, or authorize or resolve to or publicly propose or announce its intention to change, qualify, withhold, withdraw or modify, in each case in any manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, or fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (B) adopt, approve, endorse or recommend to the stockholders of the Company, or resolve to or publicly propose or announce its intention to adopt, approve, endorse or recommend to the stockholders of the Company, an Acquisition Proposal, (C) within ten (10) Business Days of Parent’s written request, fail to make or reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation following the date any Acquisition Proposal or any material modification thereto is first published or sent or given to the stockholders of the Company; provided, that Parent may not make any such request on more than one occasion in respect of any Acquisition Proposal or more than one occasion in respect of any material modification of an Acquisition Proposal, (D) fail to recommend, in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 against any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D promulgated under the 1934 Act within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) of such tender offer or exchange offer, or (E) publicly propose or agree to any of the foregoing (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) cause or direct the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement (including an acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, expense reimbursement agreement, joint venture agreement or other similar agreement), legally binding commitment or agreement in principle with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 6.03(c)) (a “Company Acquisition Agreement”) or publicly propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may, in response to an Acquisition Proposal received by the Company after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.03(b), (x) make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (y) cause the Company to validly terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01(d)(i) in order to cause the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, if and only if the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and after taking into account any revisions to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered in writing by Parent in accordance with this Section 6.03(e), (I) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (II) that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or cause the Company to validly terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01(d)(i) would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided, that prior to making such Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01(d)(i), (A) the Company shall have given Parent at least four (4) Business Day’s prior written notice of its intention to take such action, including the material terms and conditions of, and the identity of the Person making any such Superior Proposal and contemporaneously provided to Parent a copy of the Superior Proposal, a copy of any proposed Company Acquisition Agreement and all related documentation, (B) during such four (4) Business Day period following the date on which such notice is received, the Company shall and shall cause its Representatives to, if requested by Parent, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as Parent may propose, (C) upon the end of such notice period (or such subsequent notice period as contemplated by clause (D)), the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and capable of being accepted by the Company, and shall have determined, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (D) in the event of any change to any of the financial terms or any other material terms of such Superior Proposal, the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (A) above of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence (provided, that the notice period thereunder shall only be three (3) Business Days) during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.03(e) anew with respect to such additional notice, including clauses (A) through (C) above of this proviso. For the avoidance of doubt, the Cut-Off Time shall be tolled and shall not take effect during the periods described in the foregoing sentence.

(f) The foregoing notwithstanding, prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may, in response to an Intervening Event, make an Adverse Recommendation Change, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board to take such action would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company Board shall not be entitled to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change until (i) the Company shall have given Parent at least four (4) Business Day’s prior written notice of its intention to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change and specifying the reasons therefor, which notice shall include a description the applicable Intervening Event, (ii) during the four (4) Business Day period following the date on which such notice is received, the Company shall and shall cause its Representatives to, if requested by Parent, negotiate in good faith with Parent, to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (iii) following the end of such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel and taking into account any revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and capable of being accepted by the Company, shall have determined in good faith that the failure of the Company Board to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 6.03 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the 1934 Act, (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company that is required by Applicable Law or (iii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the 1934 Act; provided, however, that this Section 6.03(g) shall not be deemed to permit the Company Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change other than in accordance with Section 6.03(e) or Section 6.03(f).

Section 6.04. Access to Information.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 10 hereof, and subject to Applicable Law and the Confidentiality Agreements, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) give to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the employees, offices (subject to the Company taking actions to ensure compliance by the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees with any COVID-19 Measures), properties, books and records of such party, (ii) furnish reasonably promptly to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized Representatives all information (financial or otherwise) as such Persons may reasonably request concerning the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel, and (iii) instruct its employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized Representatives to reasonably cooperate with Parent in its investigation. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall be conducted under supervision of appropriate personnel of the Company and in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company, and shall not include the collection or analysis of any environmental samples, except for the purposes of assessing a “recognized environmental condition” identified in any Phase I environmental site assessment and then only upon prior written consent from the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and, if required under the applicable Real Property Lease, the prior written consent of the lessor of the applicable property.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6.04 or the provisions of Section 8.01, the Company may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided under this Section 6.04 and Section 8.01 as “Outside Counsel Only Material”. Outside Counsel Only Material and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, directors or other Representatives of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the Company or its legal counsel. Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.04 and Section 8.01 notwithstanding, materials provided pursuant to this Section 6.04 or Section 8.01 may be redacted (i) as necessary to comply with terms of any applicable confidentiality arrangements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party as of the date of this Agreement (provided, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow for such access or disclosure that does not result in a violation), and (ii) as necessary to address reasonable legal privilege concerns (provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure to the maximum extent that does not result in such loss of any such attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege); provided, however, that if any of the restrictions in the foregoing clauses (i)-(ii) shall apply, the Company shall advise Parent of the subject matter of any such information that cannot be disclosed and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate alternate disclosure arrangements, including adopting additional specific procedures to protect the confidentiality of sensitive material and to ensure protection of legal privilege.

(c) Parent will hold, and will cause its Representatives and Affiliates to hold, any nonpublic information, including any information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.04 and Section 8.01, in confidence to the extent required by and in accordance with, and will otherwise comply with, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreements.

Section 6.05. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all reasonable steps intended to cause any dispositions of Company Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by Article 2 of this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act.

Article 7

Parent and Merger Subsidiary jointly and severally agree that:

Section 7.01. Obligations of Merger Subsidiary. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.02. Parent Owned Shares. Parent shall vote or cause to be voted all shares of Company Stock beneficially owned by it or any of its Affiliates in favor of adoption and approval of this Agreement at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

Section 7.03. Indemnification and Insurance. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation hereby agrees, to do the following:

(a) All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Person who is or prior to the Effective Time becomes, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, a present or former director, officer, employee or agent (including as a fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan) of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) as provided in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, the organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Company or any indemnification agreement, or other agreement containing any indemnification provisions, including any employment agreements, between such Indemnified Person and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall survive the Merger and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Person. For six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries shall, and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries to, cause to be maintained in effect provisions in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries (or in such documents of any successor to the business of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are no less advantageous to the intended beneficiaries than the corresponding provisions in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries in existence on the date of this Agreement. From and after the Effective Time, any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding elimination of liability, indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b) For six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless all Indemnified Persons to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law and any other Applicable Law in the event of any threatened or actual claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation (a “Claim”), whether civil, criminal or administrative, based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that the Indemnified Person is or was a director (including in a capacity as a member of any board committee), officer, employee or agent of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before, on or after the Effective Time, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law upon receipt of any undertaking required by Applicable Law), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of or in connection with any such threatened or actual Claim. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Claim for which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnified Person hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Claim or such Indemnified Person otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with an Indemnified Person in the defense of any matter for which such Indemnified Person could seek indemnification hereunder.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, or if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period or time at or prior to the Effective Time (including claims with respect to the adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies; provided, that the Company shall give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of such “tail” insurance policy and the Company shall give good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent with respect thereto; and provided, that the premium per annum payable for such “tail” insurance policy shall not exceed 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year (which amount is set forth in Section 7.03(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter) (such maximum amount, the “Maximum Tail Premium”) and if the cost for such “tail” insurance policy exceeds the Maximum Tail Premium, then the Company (or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be) shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Tail Premium.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys of its property and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the applicable successor, assign or transferee shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.03 (including this Section 7.03(d)).

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.03 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under Delaware Law or any other Applicable Law, under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.03 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnified Person.

(f) The Surviving Corporation shall pay, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, on an as-incurred basis the fees and expenses of such Indemnified Person (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation that is the subject of the right to indemnification, provided, that such Person shall, prior to the receipt of any such advancements, undertake to reimburse the Surviving Corporation for all amounts so advanced if a court of competent jurisdiction determines, by a final, nonappealable order or judgment, that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

Section 7.04. Employee Matters.

(a) With respect to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time who continue such employment immediately following the Effective Time (each, a “Company Employee”), for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing (or, if earlier, the termination of the applicable Company Employee’s employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their Affiliates), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide (i) base salary or wage rate and target cash incentive compensation opportunity no less favorable and (ii) other employee benefits (other than equity compensation) no less favorable in the aggregate, in each case, than the compensation and benefits (other than any equity-based compensation, ESPP participation and severance benefits) provided to the Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.04(a), from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to assume, honor and continue during the twelve (12) month period following the Effective Time or, if sooner, until all obligations thereunder have been satisfied, all of the Company’s employment, severance, change in control, retention and termination plans and agreements, in each case, as in effect as of the Effective Time, which are set forth on Section 7.04(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in combination with any other event), without any amendment or modification, other than any amendment or modification required to comply with Applicable Law or with the consent of the applicable Company Employee.

(c) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting and for purposes of determining the level of benefits under any vacation, paid time off or severance plan only, each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary under the comparable Employee Plans) shall be treated as service with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits or apply to any defined benefit pension plans.

(d) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates in which any Company Employee (or the dependents of any eligible employee) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Employee Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) under the applicable Employee Plan during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and out-of-pocket limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Company Employee will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

(e) If requested by Parent in writing at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause any Employee Plan that is a defined contribution plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that includes a cash or deferred arrangement under Code Section 401(k) (a “Company 401(k) Plan”) to be terminated effective as of the day immediately prior to the Effective Time and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing. In the event that Parent requests that the Company 401(k) Plan be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Employee Plan has been terminated effective as of the day immediately prior to the Effective Time and contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing (the form and substance of which shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent) not later than two (2) Business Days immediately preceding the Effective Time, and the Parent shall cause the Company Employees to be eligible to participate, effective as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, in a defined contribution plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code sponsored or maintained by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries.

(f) Nothing in this Section 7.04 shall create any right in any Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any Employee Plan or any beneficiary thereof, with respect to any Employee Plan, nor create any right to continued employment with Parent, Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, nor be construed in any way as modifying or amending the provisions of an Employee Plan or any employee benefit plan, program or policy of Parent or its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, nor obligate Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to maintain any Employee Plan or other benefit plan.

Section 7.05. No Impeding Actions. Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary agrees that, from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Effective Time and the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 10 hereof, it shall not: (a) take any action that is intended to or would reasonably be likely to result in any of the conditions to consummating the Merger becoming incapable of being satisfied or (b) take any action or fail to take any action which would, or would be reasonably likely to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of Parent or Merger Subsidiary to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

Article 8
Covenants of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company

The parties hereto agree that:

Section 8.01. Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other and use their 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 Law to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, including (i) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement with any Governmental Authority all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents, (ii) obtaining and maintaining all approvals, consents, registrations, Permits, authorizations, licenses, waivers and other confirmations required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or any other third party that are necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) defending or contesting any action, suit or proceeding challenging this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company shall (i) make (A) an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act as promptly as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement) and (B) each other appropriate filing required pursuant to any Foreign Antitrust Law (collectively with the HSR Act, the “Antitrust Laws”) as promptly as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement), in each case with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) use reasonable best efforts to certify compliance as soon as reasonably practicable with any request under any Antitrust Laws for additional information, documents, or other materials received by each of them or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates from any Governmental Authority in respect of such filings or such transactions and (iii) cooperate with each other in connection with any such filing (including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing parties prior to filing and considering all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith) and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any Governmental Authority under any of the Antitrust Laws with respect to any such filing or any such transaction; provided, however, that, subject to reasonable consultation with the Company, Parent shall make the final determination as to the appropriate course of action regarding obtaining clearance from any Governmental Authority under any of the Antitrust Laws and resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any Governmental Authority under any of the Antitrust Laws. Each such party shall use its best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each such party shall promptly inform the other parties hereto of any oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications with, any Governmental Authority regarding any such filings or any such transaction. No party hereto shall independently participate in any formal meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other parties hereto prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. Subject to Applicable Law, the parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto relating to proceedings under any of the Antitrust Laws. The parties shall take reasonable efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this section so as to preserve any applicable privilege.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: Parent shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to take any and all action necessary to ensure that no Governmental Authority enters any order, decision, judgment, decree, ruling, injunction (preliminary or permanent), or establishes any law, rule, regulation or other action preliminarily or permanently restraining, enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and to ensure that no Antitrust Authority with the authority to clear, authorize or otherwise approve the consummation of the Merger, fails to do so by the End Date; and (ii) not take any action (including the acquisition by it or its Affiliates of any interest in any Person that derives revenues from products, services or lines of business similar to the Company’s products, services or lines of business) if such action would make it materially more likely that there would arise any impediments under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable. In the event that any action is threatened or instituted challenging the Merger as violative of any Antitrust Law, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary to avoid or resolve such action. In the event that any permanent or preliminary injunction or other order is entered or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered in any proceeding that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would restrain, enjoin or otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take promptly any and all steps necessary to vacate, modify or suspend such injunction or order so as to permit such consummation prior to the End Date; provided, however, that (x) the Company will not enter into any agreement or understanding that places divestiture or structural or conduct relief obligations on the Company as a condition for obtaining any clearance from any such Governmental Authority and (y) neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates will be obligated by any provision in this Agreement to consent to any divestiture or other structural or conduct relief with respect to Parent’s or the Company’s assets or business in order to obtain clearance from any such Governmental Authority.

Section 8.02. Proxy Statement. As promptly as practicable (and in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the date of this Agreement), the Company shall prepare and file the Proxy Statement in preliminary form with the SEC; provided, that the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review the Company’s proposed preliminary Proxy Statement in advance of filing and consider in good faith any comments reasonably proposed by Parent and its counsel. Subject to Section 6.03, the Proxy Statement shall include the recommendation of the Company Board in favor of approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Merger. Prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement or any related documents (or in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto), the Company shall provide Parent with an opportunity to review and comment on such document or written response and shall consider in good faith any comments on such document or response reasonably proposed by Parent. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as promptly as practicable following clearance of the Proxy Statement by the SEC, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after such clearance. Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Subsidiary as may be reasonably required by the Company in connection with the Proxy Statement. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Proxy Statement and to cause the Proxy Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with SEC and mailed to its stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by Applicable Law. The Company shall (a) as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide Parent and its counsel with copies of any written comments, and advise Parent and its counsel of any oral comments, with respect to the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) received from the SEC or its staff, (b) provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review the Company’s proposed response to such comments and (c) consider in good faith any comments reasonably proposed by Parent and its counsel. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement to modify any information solely relating to Parent or Merger Subsidiary and any of their respective Affiliates shall be made without the prior written approval of Parent unless required by Applicable Law (and then only after Parent has been provided an opportunity to review and comment on such amendment or supplement and the Company has considered in good faith any comments on such amendment or supplement reasonably proposed by Parent).

Section 8.03. Public Announcements. The initial press release issued by Parent and the Company concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release, the contents of which have received prior approval from both such parties, and thereafter, subject to Section 6.03, and unless and until an Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred, Parent and the Company (a) shall consult with each other (i) in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Company Disclosure Letter and (ii) before issuing any press release, having any communication with the press (whether or not for attribution), making any other public statement or scheduling any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and (b) except in respect of any such press release, communication, other public statement, press conference or conference call as may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association, shall not issue any such press release, have any such communication, make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference or conference call prior to consultation in accordance with clause (a) hereof.

Section 8.04. Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 8.05. Notices of Certain Events. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other of:

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

(b) any written notice or other written communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to its knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent and any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(d) any representation or warranty made in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate such that the conditions set forth in Article 9 would not be satisfied or of any failure to comply with any covenant to be complied with under this Agreement such that the conditions in Article 9 would not be satisfied.

The failure to deliver any such notice shall not affect any of the conditions set forth in Article 9 or give rise to any right to terminate under Article 9.

Section 8.06. Transaction Litigation. Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall control the defense of any litigation brought by stockholders of the Company against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger; provided, however, that the Company (a) shall promptly provide Parent with copies of all proceedings and correspondence relating to such litigation and (b) shall give Parent the opportunity to participate with the Company regarding the defense or settlement of any such litigation. Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall not settle or make an offer to settle any litigation against the Company or any director by any stockholder relating to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 8.07. No Control of Other Party’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or Merger Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ operations.

(ii) If (A) after the date of this Agreement and prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly made, publicly announced or otherwise communicated to the Company Board or to the Company or shall have been made directly to the stockholders of the Company generally (and in, any such case, such Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn), (B) thereafter, this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) (at a time when Parent could have terminated this Agreement pursuant to such provision), Section 10.01(b)(iii) or Section 10.01(c)(ii), and (C) within twelve (12) months after such termination, the Company consummates any Acquisition Proposal or enters into a definitive agreement in respect of any Acquisition Proposal that is later consummated, then the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of same-day funds on the date of consummation of such Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of this Section 11.04(b)(ii), all references to “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

Section 11.05. Disclosure Letter References. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other provisions hereof of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement, and any other representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other provisions hereof of such party that is contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and other provisions hereof, would be reasonably apparent on its face. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision hereof shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

Section 11.06. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as provided in Article 2 and Section 7.03, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto, except that Parent or Merger Subsidiary may transfer or assign all (but not less than all) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries at any time and Parent may transfer the shares of capital stock of Merger Subsidiary to one of its wholly-owned, direct or indirect, Subsidiaries at any time; provided, that no such transfer or assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Subsidiary of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to Parent or Merger Subsidiary. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 11.06(b) shall be null and void.

Section 11.07. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State.

Section 11.08. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the other agreements contemplated hereby or any transaction contemplated hereby (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over any such suit, action or other proceeding, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Court”). Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company agrees to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating hereto in the applicable Chosen Court pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 11.08. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the applicable Chosen Court, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably waives any objections or immunities to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled or become entitled (including sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in any legal suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which is instituted in any such court. The parties agree that a final trial court judgment in any such suit, action or other proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at the addresses set forth in Section 11.01 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court. The parties agree that service of process may also be effected by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by reputable overnight courier service, directed to the other party at the addresses set forth herein in Section 11.01, and service so made shall be completed when received.

Section 11.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 11.10. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by “.pdf” format or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 11.11. Entire Agreement; No Other Representations and Warranties.

(a) This Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Letter, together with the Confidentiality Agreements, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(b) Except for the representations and warranties made by the Company in Article 4, neither the Company nor any other Person makes, and neither Parent nor Merger Subsidiary is relying on, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to any other information made available to Parent or Merger Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, or Parent’s or Merger Subsidiary’s use of, any such information, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Parent or Merger Subsidiary in certain “data rooms” or management presentations in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless, and then only to the extent that, any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in Article 4. The Company has made available to Parent and Merger Subsidiary, and may continue to make available, certain estimates, projections and other forecasts for the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and certain plan and budget information. Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges that these estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets and the assumptions on which they are based were prepared for specific purposes and may vary significantly from each other. Further, each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets, that Parent and Merger Subsidiary are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets), and that neither Parent nor Merger Subsidiary is relying on any estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or budgets furnished by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates and Representatives, and neither Parent nor Merger Subsidiary shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective Representatives not to, hold any such Person liable with respect thereto, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(c) Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article 5, the Company acknowledges that none of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any other Person on behalf of Parent or Merger Subsidiary makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent or Merger Subsidiary or with respect to any other information made available to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 11.12. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.13. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 11.08 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement at law or in equity, and the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. If, prior to the End Date, any party brings any suit, action or proceeding, in each case in accordance with Section 11.08, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, the End Date shall automatically be extended by (A) the amount of time during which such suit, action or proceeding is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (B) such other time period established by the court presiding over such suit, action or proceeding, as the case may be; provided, that nothing in this sentence shall limit the right of any party hereto to validly terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01 (other than, with respect to Section 10.01(b)(i), the extension of the End Date as provided by this sentence).

ARTICLE II
Meetings of the Stockholders

Section 2.01 Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication, as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of meeting.

Section 2.02 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such date, time and place, if any, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting.

Section 2.03 Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes shall be called pursuant to a resolution approved by the Board of Directors and may not be called by any other person or persons. The only business which may be conducted at a special meeting shall be the matter or matters set forth in the notice of such meeting.

Section 2.04 Adjournments. Any meeting of the stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, if any, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for notice of the adjourned meeting and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of the adjourned meeting.

Section 2.05 Notice of Meetings. Notice of the place, if any, date, hour, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting) and means of remote communication, if any, of every meeting of stockholders shall be given by the Corporation not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the meeting (unless a different time is specified by law) to every stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. Notices of special meetings shall also specify the purpose or purposes for which the meeting has been called. Notices of meetings to stockholders may be given by mailing the same, addressed to the stockholder entitled thereto, at such stockholder's mailing address as it appears on the records of the Corporation and such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid. Without limiting the manner by which notices of meetings otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any such notice may be given by electronic transmission in accordance with applicable law. Notice of any meeting need not be given to any stockholder who shall, either before or after the meeting, submit a waiver of notice or who shall attend such meeting, except when the stockholder attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of the meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of the meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

Section 2.06 List of Stockholders. The Corporation shall prepare a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares of each class of capital stock of the Corporation registered in the name of each stockholder at least ten days before any meeting of the stockholders. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, on a reasonably accessible electronic network if the information required to gain access to such list was provided with the notice of the meeting or during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation for a period of at least ten days before the meeting. If the meeting is to be held at a place, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall also be open for inspection by any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting as provided by applicable law. Except as provided by applicable law, the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger and the list of stockholders or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 2.07 Quorum. Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these by-laws, at each meeting of the stockholders, a majority in voting power of the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power, by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power thereof, to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in Section 2.04, until a quorum shall be present or represented. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the subsequent withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. At any such adjourned meeting at which there is a quorum, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting originally called.

Section 2.08 Conduct of Meetings. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of the stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. At every meeting of the stockholders, the president, or in his or her absence or inability to act, the person whom the president shall appoint, shall act as chair of, and preside at, the meeting. The secretary or, in his or her absence or inability to act, the person whom the chair of the meeting shall appoint secretary of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chair of any meeting of the stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations, and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations, or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chair of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (c) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (d) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chair of the meeting shall determine; (e) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (f) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.

Section 2.09 Voting; Proxies. Unless otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the election of directors shall be decided by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of the stockholders by the holders of stock entitled to vote in the election. Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these by-laws, any matter, other than the election of directors, brought before any meeting of stockholders shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot.

Section 2.10 Inspectors at Meetings of Stockholders. The Board of Directors, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, may, and shall if required by law, appoint one or more inspectors, who may be employees of the Corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and make a written report thereof. The Board of Directors may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall (a) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (b) determine the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity of proxies and ballots, (c) count all votes and ballots, (d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (e) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of their duties. Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting. No ballot, proxies, votes, or any revocation thereof or change thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware upon application by a stockholder shall determine otherwise. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

Section 2.11 Consent of Stockholders Without a Meeting. Any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing or by electronic transmission, setting forth the action to be so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware (by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested), its principal place of business, an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded, or to an information processing system designated by the Corporation for receiving such consents in accordance with applicable law. Every consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section 2.11, consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation as aforesaid. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous consent shall, to the extent required by applicable law, be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing, and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

Section 2.12 Fixing the Record Date.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote therewith at the adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting: (i) when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery (by hand, or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded and (ii) if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

(c) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors and any vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A director so elected shall be elected to hold office until the earlier of the expiration of the term of office of the director whom he or she has replaced, a successor is duly elected and qualified, or the earlier of such director's death, resignation or removal.

Section 3.04 Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by notice given either in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. Such resignation shall take effect at the date of receipt of such notice by the Corporation or at such later time as is therein specified.

Board of Directors’ meetings or Board of Directors’ committee meetings may be held by means of telephone conference or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and be heard.

Section 3.10 Adjourned Meetings. A majority of the directors present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, including an adjourned meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn and reconvene such meeting to another time and place.

Subject to Section 3.08, Section 3.10, and Section 3.12 hereof, whenever notice is required to be given to any director by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these by-laws, such notice shall be deemed given effectively if given in person or by telephone, mail addressed to such director at such director's address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, facsimile, email, or by other means of electronic transmission.

Section 3.12 Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice to directors is required by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these by-laws, a waiver thereof, in writing signed by, or by electronic transmission by, the director entitled to the notice, whether before or after such notice is required, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance by a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except when the director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors or meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors need be specified in any waiver of notice.

Section 3.13 Organization. At each meeting of the Board of Directors, a director selected by the Board of Directors shall preside.

Section 3.14 Quorum of Directors.

After an action is taken, the consent or consents relating thereto shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee in accordance with applicable law.

Section 3.17 Committees of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. If a member of a committee shall be absent from any meeting, or disqualified from voting thereat, the remaining member or members present at the meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it to the extent so authorized by the Board of Directors. Unless the Board of Directors provides otherwise, at all meetings of such committee, a majority of the then authorized members of the committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the members of the committee present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the committee.

Section 5.01 Certificates Representing Shares. The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates; provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any class or series shall be uncertificated shares that may be evidenced by a book-entry system maintained by the registrar of such stock.

The certificates representing shares of stock of each class shall be signed by, or in the name of, the Corporation by any two authorized officers of the Corporation.

Transfers of stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof, by such person's attorney lawfully constituted in writing and, in the case of certificated shares, upon the surrender of the certificate thereof, which shall be cancelled before a new certificate or uncertificated shares shall be issued. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred. To the extent designated by the president or any vice president or the treasurer of the Corporation, the Corporation may recognize the transfer of fractional uncertificated shares, but shall not otherwise be required to recognize the transfer of fractional shares.

Section 7.01 Definitions. For purposes of this Article VII, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below: (a) “Action” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. (b) “Indemnified Party” means any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Action by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation (which shall include actions taken in connection with or relating to the incorporation of the Corporation) or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any employee benefit plan of the Corporation.

Section 7.02 Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any Indemnified Party against any and all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as provided in Section 7.05 of this Article VII, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party in connection with an Action (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnified Party only if the commencement of such Action (or part thereof) by the Indemnified Party was authorized in the specific case by the Board of Directors.

Section 7.03 Determination. Any indemnification under this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that the indemnification of Indemnified Party is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Party has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to an Indemnified Party who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such Action, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (d) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors or officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former Indemnified Party of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Action or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Party shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

Section 7.04 Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending any Action shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Action upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VII.

Section 7.05 Claim. If a claim for indemnification under this Article VII (following the final disposition of such proceeding) is not paid in full within sixty (60) days after the Corporation has received a claim therefor by the Indemnified Party, or if a claim for any advancement of expenses under this Article VII is not paid in full within thirty (30) days after the Corporation has received a statement or statements requesting such amounts to be advanced, the Indemnified Party shall thereupon (but not before) be entitled to file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. If successful in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action, the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

Section 7.06 Other Indemnification or Advancement. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article VII shall not be construed to be exclusive of or limit any other rights to which any Indemnified Party or other person may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of the stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such Indemnified Party’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office.

Section 7.07 Insurance.
