2.2. Effective Time.

The Merger shall become effective on such date and at such time as the Certificate of Merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such other time as is agreed upon in writing by Parent and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (such time is hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

2.3. Effects of the Merger. The Merger will have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all of the assets, properties, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and the Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Company and the Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Company, all as provided under the DGCL.

2.4. Organizational Documents of the Surviving Company.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable Law, except that the name of the Surviving Company shall be “Mobile X Services, Inc.”

(b) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable Law.

2.5. Management and Officers of the Surviving Company and Parent.

(a) At the Effective Time, the directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Company and shall hold office

until their respective successors are duly appointed or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

(b) At the Effective Time, the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Company and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly appointed or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

(d) At the Effective Time, the persons designated in accordance with Section 7.9(b)(ii) of this Agreement shall be the directors of the Parent and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

2.6. Effect on Securities. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective equity holders, the following will occur:

(a) Conversion of Merger Sub’s Shares. Each share of common stock of the Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Company. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Company.

(b) Cancellation of Excluded Company Shares. Each Company Share held as treasury stock or issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned directly or indirectly by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, if any, shall no longer be outstanding, shall be cancelled automatically and shall cease to exist (the “Excluded Company Shares”), and no consideration shall be paid or delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Shares. Subject to Section 2.6(d), each Company Share (other than the Excluded Company Shares and any Dissenting Company Shares) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”).

(d) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.6(c) and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Company Shares converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Company Shares exchanged by such holder) shall in lieu thereof,

upon cancellation and conversion of such holder’s Company Shares, receive in cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent), without interest, an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the last reported sale price of Parent Common Stock on Nasdaq on the last official trading day prior to the date of the Effective Time.

(e) Parent Stock Options. All Parent Stock Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Parent Stock Plans shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.16.

(f) Company Stock Options. As of the Effective Time, each option to acquire Company Shares (each, a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding under any Company Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, or any other Person, be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into a Parent Stock Option in accordance with this Section 2.6(f). Each such Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each such Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall be an option to acquire that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of: (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option; and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Stock Option by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Parent Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and, in the case of Company Stock Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board, and the compensation committee of such board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including obtaining any employee consents) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.6(f). All Company Stock Options converted pursuant to this Section 2.6(f) will be deemed granted under a new Parent Stock Option Plan that will be adopted by Parent and approved by Parent shareholders in accordance with applicable rules of Nasdaq at the Parent Shareholders Meeting. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall reserve for future issuance a number of shares of Parent Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will be subject to Parent Stock Options as a result of the actions contemplated by this Section 2.6(f). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, if and to the extent necessary to cause a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be registered and issuable with respect to the Parent Stock Options, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Parent Stock Options.

2.7. Anti-Dilution Adjustments; Exchange Ratio Calculation; Freeze Date.

(a) If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding Company Shares shall be changed into a different number of Company Shares or a

different class of Equity Interests by reason of any reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, combination, stock split, reverse stock split, dividend or exchange, or any similar event shall occur, the Exchange Ratio shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change and provide to the Company Stockholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding shares of Parent capital stock shall be changed into a different number of shares of Parent capital stock or a different class of Equity Interests by reason of any reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, combination, stock split, reverse stock split (including the Reverse Split), dividend or exchange, or any similar event shall occur, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change and provide to the Company Stockholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.7(b) shall be construed to permit Parent to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(c) The Parent and the Company shall reasonably cooperate to calculate the Exchange Ratio in accordance with this Agreement, including by giving effect to the Reverse Split. Parent shall provide the Company with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail its good faith estimate of the Exchange Ratio at least Seven (7) Business Days prior to the expected Closing Date, for the Company’s review and comment, which estimate shall then be updated as of at least Three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, which shall again be subject to the Company’s review and comment. Such updated estimate shall, after taking into account the Company’s review and comment, be used as the Exchange Ratio at the Closing and neither the Parent nor the Company shall take or permit any action that would reasonably be expected to change the Exchange Ratio from the date that is Three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date until the Closing (other than actions, if any, expressly contemplated by Section 2.16).

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to facilitate the calculation of the Exchange Ratio, each Party will use its respective reasonable efforts to take all appropriate action to freeze option exercises or other stock issuance events at least Four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, except as may be provided pursuant to other arrangements that are made pursuant to Section 2.16(c).

2.8. No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares or Transfers. The Merger Consideration, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have been delivered, issued and paid in full satisfaction of all Company Stockholders’ rights relating to the Company Shares. From and after the Effective Time, (a) all holders of Company Shares shall cease to have any rights as equity holders of the Company other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration issuable to such holders under this Agreement, (b) the Company Shares transfer books of the Surviving Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Surviving Company of the Equity Interests in the Company that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

2.9. Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at, or be directed from, the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at 10:00 a.m., Minneapolis, Minnesota time, as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days of the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver of all of the conditions precedent set forth in Article III (other than those conditions that by their nature or terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver of those conditions)), or at such other place or time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.” The Closing shall be deemed to be effective as of the Effective Time, and all documents delivered and actions taken at the Closing shall be deemed to have been delivered or taken simultaneously at such time.

2.10. Payment of Merger Consideration. Immediately after the Effective Time, the Parent shall pay and deliver the Merger Consideration as follows:

(a) The Parent shall direct its transfer agent to issue, in the name of each Company Stockholder, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to each such Company Stockholder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (as such number of shares are reflected on a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company and delivered by the Company to the Parent at least three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, which will set forth and be certified therein as true and accurate as of the Effective Time: (i) each Company Stockholder as of the Effective Time; (ii) the number of Company Shares held by each such Company Stockholder; and (iii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued on conversion of the Company Shares held by each such Company Stockholder at Closing in accordance with the Company’s Organizational Documents and this Agreement (such certificate, the “Allocation Certificate”));

(b) The Parent shall deliver to its transfer agent for delivery to the Company Stockholders the aggregate amount of cash sufficient to pay for fractional shares of Parent Common Stock calculated pursuant to Section 2.6(d); and

(c) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed, or if appropriate transmitted electronically, by the Parent’s transfer agent, acting as exchange agent, to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of Company Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to ‎this Agreement a customary and reasonable form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to any certificates evidencing such Company Shares (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the exchange agent (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates as set forth in ‎below) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and of any uncertificated Company Shares entitled to receive Merger Consideration (“Uncertificated Shares”) pursuant to such letter of transmittal). Upon surrender to the exchange agent of a Certificate, or upon receipt of by the exchange agent of such evidence, if any, of transfer as the exchange agent may reasonably request in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu of such

Certificates as set forth below) and the holder of such Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to promptly receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Company Share formerly evidenced by such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares, and such Certificate and transferred Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall then be cancelled. The exchange agent will accept such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable and customary terms and conditions as the exchange agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to ‎this Agreement. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Uncertificated Share is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Uncertificated Share surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with this Agreement upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates and Uncertificated Shares shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Shares theretofore represented by such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares. 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 and customary amount as the Surviving Corporation may require as indemnity against claims that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the exchange agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.

2.11. Net Working Capital; Adjustments to Cash Dividend; Payment of Cash Dividend.

(a) The Parent and the Company shall reasonably cooperate to calculate the adjustments required to determine the amount of the Cash Dividend in accordance with this Agreement. Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to procure, at least eight (8) Business Days prior to the expected Closing Date, invoices from all service providers to Parent related to this Agreement and the Transactions for all services expected to be performed through the Closing Date, as well as invoices needed to determine the amount of Parent Transaction Expenses that are unpaid as of the Closing Date. Parent shall provide the Company with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail its good faith estimates of the Parent’s Net Working Capital and Net Working Capital (Adjusted), as of the Closing Date and of the aggregate amount of Parent Transaction Expenses and Indebtedness as required by Section 7.17 as of the Closing, at least Seven (7) Business Days prior to the expected Closing Date, together with all supporting documentation as the Company may reasonably request, for the Company’s review and comment, which estimates shall then be updated as of at least Four (4) Business Days before the Closing Date, which shall again be subject to the Company’s review and comment. Such updated estimates shall, after taking into account the Company’s review and comment, absent manifest error or fraud, be used as the definitive, final and binding Net Working Capital, Net Working

Capital (Adjusted) and the Parent Transaction Expenses and Indebtedness to calculate the amount of the Cash Dividend at the Closing, and thereafter neither the Parent nor the Company shall take or permit any action that would reasonably be expected to change the Cash Dividend from the date that is Three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date until the Closing; provided, however, if the Company reasonably determines that the Cash Dividend should be more than $250,000 less than the amount determined by the Parent, the Company shall have the right by written notice to Parent to delay the Closing by up to Ten (10) Business Days in which to resolve the disagreement and in the absence of a resolution in such time period, the Company shall also have the right to require the Parent to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to provide for a further delay in the Closing and the bifurcation of the Cash Dividend into an undisputed and a disputed portion, the undisputed portion of which would be determined and promptly paid as originally contemplated with respect to the Cash Dividend, and the latter of which would be determined and paid only after the disputes have been resolved after the Closing.

(b) Upon such determination of the Net Working Capital, Net Working Capital (Adjusted), and the Parent Transaction Expenses and Indebtedness, the Provisional Cash Dividend will first be decreased by an amount equal to Fifty Percent (50%) of the aggregate Parent Transaction Expenses (whether previously paid or still payable), and second, such resulting amount will be either be (x) increased by the amount, if any, that the Net Working Capital (Adjusted) of the Parent at Closing is greater than the Target Working Capital, or (y) decreased by the amount, if any, that the Net Working Capital (Adjusted) of the Parent at Closing is less than the Target Working Capital or (z) left unchanged, if the Net Working Capital (Adjusted) of the Parent is equal to the Target Working Capital; provided, however, that the amount of the Cash Dividend that would result from taking into account only the foregoing adjustments shall, notwithstanding the actual amount of such adjustments, not be less than $18.0 million nor more than $18.5 million; and finally, third, the resulting amount after the foregoing adjustments shall be decreased by One Hundred Percent (100%) of any Indebtedness of Parent incurred after the date hereof or Transaction Bonus Amounts (whether incurred before or after the date hereof), and such final resulting amount after all of the foregoing adjustments shall be the Cash Dividend to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11(c).

(c) Subject to Nasdaq rules, as soon as practicable after the amount of the Cash Dividend has been determined in accordance with Section 2.10(b), Parent shall set a record date for such dividend to be the Business Day immediately prior to the expected Closing Date (or such other date as the Parties may otherwise agree) (the “Dividend Record Date”) and a payment date for such dividend to be the earliest practicable date after the Closing Date. The shareholders of the Parent of record as of the close of business on the Dividend Record Date shall receive, on a pro rata basis per share of Parent Common Stock then held by them, their share of the Cash Dividend. The Parent shall promptly deliver to its transfer agent (acting as a paying agent), and direct its transfer agent to pay (including through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company), in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq, in the name of each such holder of Parent Common Stock, a check (or other appropriate form of payment) in the amount of such shareholder’s pro rata share of the Cash Dividend on the payment date thereof (based on the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that are outstanding as of the Dividend Record Date, such number of shares to be certified by the Parent’s transfer agent, a copy of which shall be provided to the Company prior to the Closing, together with such other information reasonably requested by the

Company to confirm the due payment of the Cash Dividend to the appropriate shareholders of Parent).

2.12. No Liability. None of the Parent, the Merger Sub or the Company shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Merger Consideration or Cash Dividend delivered to a public official in compliance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

2.13. Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Parent and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any Parent Stock Options and from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts, if any, as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Law; provided, however, prior to the Closing, to the extent Parent believes withholding is required with respect to the Company or any shareholders thereof, the Parent shall provide the Company with reasonable notice of its intention to deduct or withhold and Parent will reasonably cooperate with the Company in reducing or eliminating such deduction or withholding and the Company will reasonably cooperate with Parent in implementing any such deduction or withholding that is required. Any amounts so deducted and withheld and timely paid over to or deposited with the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding are made.

2.14. Acknowledgement of Company Stockholders Regarding the Merger Consideration. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Parent is entitled to rely conclusively on any Allocation Certificate delivered by the Company hereunder to the Parent, and upon delivery of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement and the Allocation Certificate, neither the Parent nor the Merger Sub shall have any further responsibility or Liability hereunder with respect to the payment of the Merger Consideration.

2.15. Tax Consequences. For federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code in a transaction intended to qualify as a statutory merger under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code by reason of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code. The Parties to this Agreement hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

2.16. Parent Equity Awards.

(a) The Parent has granted equity and equity-based awards in the form of stock options (“Parent Stock Options”) under (i) the Parent’s 1997 Stock Option Plan (“Parent 1997 Plan”), and (ii) the Parent’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“Parent 2013 Plan” and, together with the Parent 1997 Plan, the “Parent Stock Plans”). Between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, if requested in writing by the Company, the Parent shall take all necessary action (which action shall be effective as of the Effective Time) to terminate the Parent Stock Plans (without the creation of additional Liability to the Parent, or the Company or the Surviving Company or impairing the ability of any option holder to exercise any outstanding options). As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement and in any event prior to the Effective Time, the Parent Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Parent

Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions and take all actions that are reasonably necessary for the treatment of the Parent Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.16. For purposes of any Parent Stock Plan, no Parent Stock Options shall be assumed or substituted and all such options shall be treated as “non-assumed incentive awards” as otherwise defined in such Parent Stock Plans. The Parent shall take all actions that are necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver shares of Parent Common Stock or other capital stock of the Parent to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Parent Stock Options other than as set forth in this Section 2.16.

(b) As of or prior to the Dividend Record Date, each outstanding Parent Stock Option granted under the Parent Stock Plans to each holder thereof shall become vested pursuant to the terms of the Parent Stock Plans or actions taken by the Board in order to effectuate such vesting. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Parent Stock Option shall be cancelled and automatically converted into that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares) equal in value to the excess (“Excess”) of the Fair Market Value as of the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date of the number of outstanding shares under the Parent Stock Options over the sum of (i) the aggregate exercise price plus (ii) the amount of any Taxes, if any, required to be withheld with respect to such Excess in accordance with Section 2.13. For the avoidance of doubt, in order for holders of Parent Stock Options to be entitled to their pro rata share of the Cash Dividend, they must have duly exercised their stock options a sufficient time before the Dividend Record Date so that they are holders of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock as of the Dividend Record Date received upon exercise of their stock options, or the Parent must have made such other arrangements (subject to the Company’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld) to ensure that the holders of Parent Stock Options will receive their pro rata share of the Cash Dividend upon exercise of their stock options on or prior to the Effective Time, which may include an exercise of stock options conditional on the Closing or an exercise of stock options on the Dividend Record Date, in each case if the procedures of the Parent and its transfer agent and registrar so allow. Any Parent Stock Option in which the aggregate exercise price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the outstanding shares under the Parent Stock Option as of the Effective Time shall be cancelled without any action on the part of any holder thereof and without any payment or consideration (including the issuance of any Parent Common Stock therefor) and thereafter the holder of such Parent Stock Option shall have no further rights in respect thereof.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed by Parent and Company, prior to seeking shareholder approval of the Merger, Parent will engage an independent fiduciary reasonably acceptable to Company (the “ESOP Fiduciary”) for the Parent’s existing Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) to take any and all reasonably appropriate actions with respect to the ESOP in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in order to satisfy its fiduciary duty to the ESOP in connection with the Parent Shareholder Meeting, the Merger and this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement and the ESOP governing documents. Parent will cooperate in promptly providing all material information requested by the ESOP Fiduciary in connection with its services as described above. Parent will, prior to Closing, pay all reasonable fees and costs incurred by, or reasonably estimated to be due from, Parent for or in connection with the services of the ESOP Fiduciary and any advisors thereto, with all such amounts to be Parent Transaction Expenses and Shared Expenses. Parent will cause to be distributed to each ESOP participant or beneficiary the same notices and information statement

relating to the Merger as are distributed to each non-ESOP holder of Parent Common Stock and will hold the vote of the ESOP participants in strict confidence. At the Company’s written request, the Parent and the Company will in good faith cooperate to announce and effectuate a termination of the ESOP effective at or after the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.16(c) is for the sole benefit of the Parties and neither the ESOP Fiduciary nor any participant in the ESOP shall have any rights under this Section 2.16(c).

2.17. Further Assurances. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company, the Parent and their respective shareholders following the Merger with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, the applicable directors, officers, members and managers of the Company, the Parent and Merger Sub (or their successors, assigns and designees) are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

2.18. Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all Company Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by the stockholders of the Company who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who are entitled to demand and shall have properly and validly perfected their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such Company Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, “Dissenting Company Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration. Such Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Company Shares held by the stockholders of the Company who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or waived or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall no longer be considered to be Dissenting Company Shares and shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates (or other appropriate evidence of transfer in the case of Uncertificated Shares) that formerly evidenced such Company Shares in the manner provided in ‎Section 2.10(c).

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

5.1. Organization, Power and Enforceability.

(a) The Parent is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the state of Minnesota. At the Effective Time and pursuant to the Reincorporation and Charter Amendment, Parent will be a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. The Parent has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to carry out its obligations hereunder, to consummate the Transactions, and to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to conduct its business as presently conducted. Section 5.1 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule sets forth each jurisdiction in which the Parent is licensed or qualified to do business, and the Parent is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the properties owned or leased by it or the operation of its business as currently conducted makes such licensing or qualification necessary except where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. True and complete copies of the Organizational Documents of the Parent as of the date hereof have been provided to the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Parent, and (assuming due authorization, execution, and delivery by the Company) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Parent enforceable against the Parent in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by the General Enforceability Exceptions.

The Parent Shareholder Approval will have been validly and duly obtained if all of the holders of Parent Common Stock that have executed Parent Voting Agreements all vote in the manner required by such agreements.

There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened against

Parent by the Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Parent Common Stock or terminate the listing of Parent on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Complete and correct copies of each Parent Material Contract (including all modifications, amendments, and supplements thereto and waivers thereunder) have been made available to the Company; provided that Parent Material Contracts filed as part of the Parent SEC Reports shall be deemed provided to the Company for purposes of this sentence.

It is understood and agreed that any violation of the restrictions in this Section 7.1 (or action that, if taken by the Company or the Parent, as applicable, would constitute such a violation) by any Representatives of the Company or the Parent shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.1 by the Company or the Parent.

(b) No Change in Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(i) Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent Board shall not, except as set forth in this Section 7.1, (A) withhold, withdraw, materially qualify or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, materially qualify or modify, the approval or recommendation by the Parent Board or committee thereof with respect to the Merger or the Parent Stock Issuance pursuant to this Agreement, (B) fail to include the Parent Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus; (C) adopt, endorse, approve or recommend, or propose publicly to adopt, endorse, approve or recommend, or submit to the vote of any securityholders of Parent, any Acquisition Proposal, or approve any transaction under, or any transaction resulting in any third party becoming an “interested stockholder” under, Section 302A.673 of the MBCA, or authorize, resolve or agree to take any such action; (D) fail to recommend against acceptance of any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer, and to expressly reaffirm the Parent Board Recommendation, within five (5) Business Days after commencement (or if the Parent Shareholder Meeting is to occur prior to the fifth Business Day, such period ending on the later of (x) the Business Day prior to the Parent Shareholder Meeting and (y) the second Business Day after such request); or (E) following the public announcement of an Acquisition Proposal (or the public announcement of an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal) other than the commencement of a tender or exchange offer contemplated by clause (D), fail to issue a press release expressly reaffirming the Parent Board Recommendation within five (5) Business Days after the Company requests a reaffirmation thereof (or if the Parent Shareholder Meeting is to occur prior to the fifth Business Day, such period ending on the later of (x) the Business Day prior to the Parent Shareholder Meeting and (y) the second Business Day after such request) (any of the foregoing in clauses (A) –(E), a “Parent Board Recommendation Change”);

(ii) Prior to receipt of the Parent Shareholder Vote the Parent shall not enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement or similar agreement (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) providing for the consummation of a transaction contemplated by any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 7.1(a) entered into in the circumstances referred to in Section 7.1(a); and

(iii) The Parent Board, and each committee thereof, shall not, except as set forth in this Section 7.1, adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including the provisions of this Section 7.1), if at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to receipt of the Parent Shareholder Vote, Parent receives an unsolicited, bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that the Parent Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, is a Superior Proposal (after giving effect to all of the revisions to the terms of this Agreement which may be offered by the Company, including pursuant to this paragraph), then the Parent Board prior to the time of, but not after, receipt of the Parent Shareholder Vote (x) may make a Parent Board Recommendation Change or (y) may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(h) and concurrently with such termination enter into a definitive agreement providing for the implementation of such Superior Proposal, in each case if at any time prior to the time, but not after, receipt of the Parent Shareholder Vote is obtained the Parent Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, that the failure to make such Parent Board Recommendation Change or the failure to terminate this Agreement would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law; provided, however, that Parent shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (y), and any purported termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless concurrently with such termination the Parent pays the Parent Termination Fee and otherwise complies with the provisions of Section 9.3(b) and Section 9.3(c); and provided, further, that (1) the Parent Board may not effect a Parent Board Recommendation Change pursuant to the foregoing clause (x) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) unless such Acquisition Proposal (and any precursor thereto) did not result from or arise in connection with a breach by Parent, or any of its Representatives (as if they were bound hereby) of its obligations under this Section 7.1; (2) the Parent has provided at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Company that it intends to effect a Parent Board Recommendation Change, including a description in reasonable detail of the reasons for such recommendation change, and written, true, complete and unredacted copies of any relevant proposed transactions agreements with any party making a potential Superior Proposal (including the identity of the person making such Superior Proposal) (a “Recommendation Change Notice”) (it being understood that the Recommendation Change Notice shall not constitute a Parent Board Recommendation Change for purposes of this Agreement); (3) such party has complied in all material respects with the requirements of this Section 7.1 in connection with any potential Superior Proposal; (4) during each such four Business Day period, if requested by Company, engaged in good faith negotiations with Company to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the Acquisition Proposal that was determined to constitute a Superior Proposal no longer is a Superior Proposal; and (5) at the end of such four Business Day period, if such Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn, the Parent Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisors), that the Acquisition Proposal is still a Superior Proposal and a Parent Board Recommendation Change would still be required to comply with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law (after taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement agreed to in writing by Company in response to any notice required by clause (2), as a result of the negotiations required by clause (4) or otherwise). In the event of any material amendment to any Superior Proposal (including any revision in the amount, form or mix of consideration the Parent’s shareholders would receive as a result of such potential Superior Proposal), the Parent shall be required to provide the Company with notice of such material amendment and there shall be a new four Business Day period following such notification during which the Parent

shall comply again with the requirements of this Section 7.1(b) and the Parent Board shall not make a Parent Board Recommendation Change prior to the end of any such period as so extended.

(c) Notices of Proposals. Each Party will as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt) (i) notify the other Party of its receipt of any Acquisition Proposal and (ii) provide to the other Party a copy of such Acquisition Proposal (if written), or a summary of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (if oral), including the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal, and copies of all written communications with such person with respect to such actual or potential Acquisition Proposal. The Parent shall notify the Company, in writing, of any decision of the Parent Board as to whether to consider any Acquisition Proposal from a Qualified Person or to enter into discussions or negotiations concerning any Acquisition Proposal from a Qualified Person or to provide non-public information with respect to such to any such Qualified Person, which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable after such determination was reached (and in any event no later than twenty-four (24) hours after such determination was reached). The Parent will (A) provide the Company with written notice setting forth such information as is reasonably necessary to keep the Company informed of the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal from a Qualified Person and of any material amendments or modifications thereto, (B) keep the Company fully informed as promptly as practicable with respect to any changes to the material terms of an Acquisition Proposal by a Qualified Person submitted to such party (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours following any such changes), including by providing a copy of all written proposals and a summary of all oral proposals or material oral modifications to an earlier written proposal, in each case relating to any Acquisition Proposal by a Qualified Person, (C) prior to, or substantially concurrently with, the provision of any non-public information of the Parent to any such Qualified Person, provide such information to the Company (including by posting such information to an electronic data room), to the extent such information has not previously been made available to the Company, and (D) promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours of such determination) notify the Company of any determination by the Parent Board that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(d) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Parent or the Parent Board from complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any disclosure made by the Parent or the Parent Board pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) shall be limited to a statement that Parent is unable to take a position with respect to the bidder’s tender offer unless the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such statement would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, further, that any such disclosures (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a Parent Board Recommendation Change, unless the Parent Board expressly publicly reaffirms its recommendation for the Merger and the other Transactions in such communication.

(e) Cessation of Ongoing Discussions. Each of the Company and the Parent shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, cease immediately all solicitation, encouragement,

discussions and negotiations that commenced prior to the date of this Agreement regarding any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit or modify the rights of a Party hereto under the other provisions of this Section 7.1. Each of the Company and the Parent will each immediately revoke or withdraw access of any Person (other than a Party and their respective Representatives and other than any Person who has not made, and would not be reasonably expected to make, any Acquisition Proposal) to any data room (virtual or actual) containing any non-public information with respect to such Party and request from each third party (other than the Company, Parent and their Representatives and other than any Person who has not made, and would not be reasonably expected to make, any Acquisition Proposal) the prompt return or destruction of all non-public information with respect to the Company or the Parent, as applicable, previously provided to such person. The Parent shall not, and shall cause its affiliates and all of its and their respective Representatives not to, release any person from, or waive, amend or modify any provision of, or grant any permission under any “standstill” provision or similar provision with respect to any capital stock of the Parent in any agreement to which the Parent or any of its affiliates is a party; provided that the Parent Board shall be permitted to grant waivers of, and not to enforce, any “standstill” or similar provision to the extent that (x) the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel) that the failure to take such action would violate the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (y) any such action by the Parent Board does not violate any other provision of this Section 7.1. Except to the extent otherwise permitted by the foregoing sentence, the Parent shall, and shall cause its affiliates to, promptly take all reasonable steps within their power to terminate any waiver under any such provisions that may have been heretofore granted to any person other than the Company and any of the Company’s Affiliates.

7.2. Access to Information; Cooperation; Financial Statements.

(a) Subject to compliance with applicable confidentiality obligations owed to third parties in effect as of the date of this Agreement, each of the Parent and the Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries. if any to) afford to the other Party’s officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives, reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, each of the Parent and the Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, if any to) furnish promptly to the other Party all information concerning its business, properties, assets and personnel as the other Party may reasonably request. Each of the Parent and the Company will hold any such information which is nonpublic in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.2 or otherwise shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Merger.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable, the Company shall deliver to the Parent (i) the audited balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and the related audited statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company for each of the periods then ended, audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and containing an unqualified report of the Company’s auditors (the “Closing Company Audited Financial Statements”) and (ii) the

unaudited balance sheet and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company as of and for a year-to-date period ended as of the end of such fiscal quarter that is required to be included in the Registration Statement or Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus and any other filings to be made by the Parent with the SEC in connection with the Merger. All such financial statements, together with any unaudited consolidated balance sheet and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows as of and for a year-to-date period ended as of the end of such fiscal quarter that is required to be included in the Registration Statement or Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus and any other filings to be made by the Parent with the SEC in connection with the Merger, (A) will be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), (B) will fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of the date thereof and for the period indicated therein, except as otherwise specifically noted therein, and (C) will, in the case of the Closing Company Audited Financial Statements, have been audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

(c) The auditor engaged to audit the Closing Company Audited Financial Statements and to review the unaudited financial statements will be an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder adopted by the SEC and the PCAOB.

(d) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to assist, upon advance written notice, the Parent in causing to be prepared in a timely manner any other financial information or statements (including customary pro forma financial statements) that are required to be included in the Registration Statement or Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus and any other filings to be made by the Parent with the SEC in connection with the Merger and (ii) to obtain the consents of its auditors with respect thereto as may be required by applicable Law or requested by the SEC.

7.3. Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus; Registration Statement; Written Consent.

(a) In connection with the Parent Shareholders Meeting, as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Parent and the Company shall jointly prepare, and the Parent shall file with the SEC the Registration Statement (which shall include the Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus, unless either the Parent or the Company reasonably requests separately filing the proxy statement and consent solicitation components outside of the Registration Statement in response to SEC comments or guidance), and each of Parent and the Company shall promptly furnish all information concerning itself and its Affiliates as may reasonably be requested by the other Party and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus. The Registration Statement shall include for registration all of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued under this Agreement as Merger Consideration and, if reasonably requested by either the Parent or the Company in response to SEC comments or guidance, will be a resale registration statement on Form S-3 in lieu of Form S-4. The Company and the Parent shall each use their respective reasonable best efforts to: (i) cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act

as promptly as practicable after its filing; (ii) ensure that the Registration Statement complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (iii) keep the Registration Statement effective for so long as necessary to complete the Merger and Parent Stock Issuance. The Parent shall notify the Company promptly upon receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement and will, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide the Company with copies of all material correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, and all written comments with respect to the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus received from the SEC and advise the Company on any oral comments with respect to the Registration Statement received from the SEC. The Parent will notify the Company, promptly after the Parent receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed, and of the issuance of any stop order or suspension of the qualification of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction.

The Parent and the Company shall ensure that none of the information supplied by or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC, at each time at which it is amended and at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading or (ii) the Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus will, at the date it is first mailed to holders of Parent Common Stock and at the time of the Parent Shareholders Meeting contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Closing any information relating to the Parent and the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by the Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration

Statement, so that any of such documents would not include a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and each of the Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information to be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated to the holders of Parent Common Stock.

7.4. Nasdaq Listing. The Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, (a) to maintain its existing listing on Nasdaq until the Effective Time and to obtain approval of the listing of the combined corporation on Nasdaq, (b) to the extent required by the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, to prepare and submit to Nasdaq a notification form for the listing of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and to cause such shares to be approved for listing (subject to official notice of issuance) on Nasdaq under a ticker symbol to be selected by the Company; and (c) to the extent required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5110, to file an initial listing application for the Parent Common Stock on Nasdaq (the “Nasdaq Listing Application”) and to request that such Nasdaq Listing Application be conditionally approved prior to the Effective Time. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with respect to compliance with Nasdaq rules and regulations. Each Party will promptly inform the other Party of all verbal or written communications between Nasdaq and such Party or its representatives. Each of Parent and Merger Sub will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the Nasdaq Listing Application, when filed, to comply in all material respects with all legal requirements applicable thereto, (ii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to and resolve all comments received from the Nasdaq or its staff concerning the Nasdaq Listing Application and (iii) have the Nasdaq Listing Application approved by the Nasdaq as promptly as practicable after such filing. No submission of, or amendment or supplement to, the Nasdaq Listing Application, or response to Nasdaq comments with respect thereto, will be made by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, without the other parties’ prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and without providing such other parties hereto a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. Parent and the Company agree to evenly split all Nasdaq fees associated with the Nasdaq Listing Application incurred prior to the Closing, if any, as well as any fees, costs and expenses associated with any third-party consultants that may be retained to assist with Nasdaq matters relating to the Transactions (the “Nasdaq Fees”). The Company will cooperate with Parent as reasonably requested by Parent with respect to the Nasdaq Listing Application and promptly furnish to Parent all information concerning the Company and its stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 7.4.

7.5. Shareholder Approval.

(a) Upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall seek the written consent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of (i) holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of the Company in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the Merger and all other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) holders of at least 75% of the outstanding common stock pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Company Stockholders Agreement (the “Company Stockholder Approval”) via written consent

(the “Written Consent”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective. In connection therewith, the Company, as promptly as practicable (A) shall establish the record date (which record date shall be mutually agreed with Parent) for determining the Company Stockholders entitled to provide such written consent, (B) shall cause the Consent Solicitation Statement to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders in compliance with applicable Law and (C) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit written consents from the Company Stockholders to give the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company Board shall recommend to the Company Stockholders that they approve and adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger and all other Transactions.

(b) Subject to Section 7.1, the Parent, acting through the Parent Board, shall include all appropriate provisions in the Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus and take all action reasonably necessary related thereto (i) in order to obtain the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all shares of Parent Common Stock in favor of this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions (the “Parent Shareholder Approval”), (ii) approval of a new equity incentive plan having the terms, conditions and share fund requested by the Company, subject to the approval of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the “New Equity Plan”), (iii) the adoption and approval of the Reincorporation and Charter Amendment, (iv) to the extent required by the Nasdaq listing rules, the approval of the Parent Share Issuance and the change of control of Parent, (vi) the adjournment of the Parent Shareholder Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt any of the foregoing proposals and (vii) the approval of any other proposals reasonably agreed by Parent and the Company to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Transactions (but no other proposals other than as provided in this Section 7.5(b)), at the Parent Shareholder Meeting as soon as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective, including giving notice of and convening and holding the Parent Shareholders Meeting, and, in connection therewith, the Parent shall mail the Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus to the holders of Parent Common Stock in advance of the Parent Shareholders Meeting. The Parent may only postpone or adjourn the Parent Shareholders Meeting (x) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Shareholder Approval, (y) for the absence of a quorum and (z) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Parent has determined after consultation with outside legal counsel is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by holders of Parent Common Stock prior to the Parent Shareholder Meeting. Subject to the rights of the Parent and the Parent Board under Section 7.1(b)(i), the Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of approval of this Agreement and the Transactions, and to secure approval of the other proposals described in this Section 7.5(b) and to secure any other approval of shareholders of the Parent that is required by applicable Law to effect the Transactions (including authority to adjourn the meeting to solicit additional votes and to obtain a “say-on-pay” or “say-on-parachute” vote). For the avoidance of doubt, the New Equity Plan shall have no impact on the Exchange Ratio but any future grants thereunder after the Closing will dilute all shareholders of the Parent on a pro-rata basis.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit a Party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1.

7.6. Fulfillment of Conditions.

(a) Subject to the terms hereof, including Section 7.6, the Company and the Parent shall each use commercially reasonable best efforts (but which shall not require a Party to commit or invest its own capital) to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to procure, negotiate and enter into the Subscription Agreements and consummate and make effective, and to satisfy all conditions to, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transactions as promptly as practicable, (ii) as promptly as practicable, obtain from any Governmental Authority or any other third party any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations, or orders required to be obtained or made by the Company or the Parent or any of their Subsidiaries, if any, in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, (iii) as promptly as practicable, make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement and the Merger required under (A) the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any other applicable federal or state securities Laws, (B) the HSR Act and any other foreign or other antitrust Law, and (C) any other applicable Law, and (iv) execute or deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Company and the Parent shall give (or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries, if applicable, to give) any notices to third parties, and use, and cause their respective Subsidiaries, if applicable, to use, their reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consents related to or required in connection with the Merger that are (i) necessary to consummate the Transactions, (ii) disclosed or required to be disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule, as the case may be, or (iii) required to prevent the occurrence of an event that may have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect from occurring prior to or after the Effective Time.

7.7. Public Disclosure. Except as may be required by applicable Law or stock market regulations, (a) the press release announcing the execution of this Agreement shall be issued only in such form as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parent and the Company and (b) both the Company and the Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to consult with one another before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to the Transactions or this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to using such efforts (provided, however, that these restrictions shall not apply to any communications by the Parent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, Superior Proposal, Recommendation Change Notice or Parent Board Recommendation Change).

7.8. Notification of Breaches. Each Party agrees that it shall promptly notify in writing the other Party if such notifying Party becomes aware of any breach of, or inaccuracy in, or of any facts or circumstances constituting or resulting in the breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty or covenant of such notifying Party or of such other Party that would cause a failure of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII with respect to such Party.

7.9. Succession of Officers and Directors.

(a) The Parent shall take all action necessary to cause the persons identified on Section 7.9(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule to be appointed as executive officers of the Parent as of the Effective Time.

(b) The Parent shall take all action necessary to (i) obtain the resignations of the directors identified on Section 7.9(i) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule effective as of the Effective Time; and (ii) cause to be appointed to the Parent Board as directors, or continue to serve on the Parent Board as directors, as applicable, the persons whose names are provided to the Parent in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing. If any person identified in accordance with this Section 7.9(b) is unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, the Company shall designate a successor.

7.10. State Takeover Laws. If any “fair price,” “business combination” or “control share acquisition” statute or other similar statute or regulation is or may become applicable to any of the Transactions, the Parties hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to (a) take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereunder may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and (b) otherwise take all such actions as are reasonably necessary to eliminate or minimize the effects of any such statute or regulation on such transactions.

7.11. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act any acquisitions of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) that are treated as acquisitions under such rule and result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who may become or is reasonably expected to become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Parent immediately after the Effective Time.

7.12. Cash Dividend. At a time sufficiently in advance of the Effective Time to comply with the requirements of this Agreement and Nasdaq, in consultation with the Company, the Parent Board shall declare and set aside the Cash Dividend, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.11 of this Agreement, to its shareholders who are holders of record as of the Dividend Record Date, and then duly pay and issue the Cash Dividend to such holders of record as promptly after the Closing as reasonably practicable.

7.13. Termination of Certain Agreements and Rights. The Company shall cause the agreements set forth in Section 7.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, including the Company Stockholders Agreement and any such agreement granting any person investor rights,

rights of first refusal, registration rights or director election rights, to be terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time.

7.14. Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Treatment. The Parties shall not file any U.S. federal, state or local Tax Return in a manner that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal, state and other relevant Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by a taxing authority pursuant to an audit defended in good faith. The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and will not take any action or cause any action to be taken which action would reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying, as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(b) Tax Opinions. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing if, before the Closing Date, such Party knows or has reason to believe that the Merger may not qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In the event the SEC requests or requires a tax opinion with respect to the Merger qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver customary tax representation letters to the applicable tax advisors in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the advisors delivering such opinion and the Party delivering such tax representation letter, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective counsel to deliver such tax opinions as the SEC may requires or requests, in connection with the Proxy Statement/Consent/Prospectus, consistent with customary practice.

The Company and Parent will each use their commercially reasonable efforts (but which shall not require a Party to commit or invest its own capital), in cooperation with each other and ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., to procure, negotiate and enter into as soon as possible Subscription Agreements from the applicable accredited investors named therein (the “PIPE Investors”), whether pursuant to the Commitment Letter or such other commitments as the Parties may mutually agree upon, reasonably acceptable to each Party, to provide equity financing to the Parent solely for purposes of consummating the Transactions in the aggregate amount of no less than the Minimum PIPE Investment Amount. Parent shall keep the Company promptly advised of all negotiations, drafts and material updates regarding the PIPE Investment and the Subscription Agreement and will permit the Company and its advisors to assist with all such negotiations. When received by Parent, Parent shall provide to Company true, correct and complete copies of each of such Subscription Agreement. Parent shall not enter with any PIPE Investor any other agreements, side letters, or arrangements between the Parent and any PIPE Investor relating to any Subscription Agreement that could affect the obligation of such PIPE Investor to contribute to the Parent the applicable portion of the Minimum PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreement of such PIPE Investor.

(b) When the Subscription Agreements have been entered into, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Company, Parent shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, any waiver (in whole or in part) or provide consent to (including consent to termination), of any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, any of the Subscription Agreements (which consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent and Company shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the terms and conditions described therein, including maintaining in effect the Subscription Agreements and to: (a) satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to the Parent in the Subscription Agreements and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder; (b) in the event that all conditions in the Subscription Agreements (other than conditions that the Parent or any of its Affiliates control the satisfaction of and other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied, consummate transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements at or prior to Closing; (c) confer with the Company regarding timing of the expected Closing Date (as defined in the Subscription Agreements); (d) deliver notices to counterparties to the Subscription Agreements sufficiently in advance of the Closing to cause them to fund their obligations as far in advance of the Closing as permitted by the Subscription Agreements; and (e) without limiting the Company’s rights to enforce certain of such Subscription Agreements in the event that all conditions in the Subscription Agreements (other than conditions that the Parent or any of its Affiliates control the satisfaction of and other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied, to cause (including by bringing appropriate and timely proceedings in a court of law to enforce the Parent’s rights under the Subscription Agreement) the applicable PIPE Investors to pay to (or as directed by) the Parent the applicable portion of the Minimum PIPE Investment Amount, as applicable, set forth in the Subscription Agreements in accordance with their terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent shall give the Company, prompt written notice: (a) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement known to the Parent; (b) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, threatened or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Subscription Agreement or any provisions of any Subscription Agreement; and (c) if the Parent does not expect to receive all or any portion of the Minimum PIPE Investment Amount on the terms, in the manner or from the PIPE Investors as contemplated by the Subscription Agreements. The Parent shall deliver all notices it is required to deliver under the Subscription Agreements on a timely basis in order to cause the PIPE Investors to consummate the PIPE Investment concurrently with the Closing and shall take all actions required under any Subscription Agreements with respect to the timely issuance and delivery of any physical certificates evidencing the shares of the Parent Common Stock as and when required under any such Subscription Agreements. The Company shall cooperate with the Parent in the fulfillment of all obligations of the Parent under this Section or under any Subscription Agreement and otherwise necessary or desirable to consummate the PIPE Investment.

(c) In connection with the PIPE Investment, the Company and its Affiliates shall not make any untrue statement of material fact or any omit to state a fact necessary to

ensure that any statements so made are not misleading to any investor or prospective investor in the PIPE Investment and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Parent and its Affiliates from any loss, liability or expense arising therefrom or otherwise arising from any similar indemnification obligation owed (i) by the Company to any advisor retained by the Company in connection with the PIPE Investment under an engagement agreement or otherwise or (ii) by the Parent under the March 11, 2022 engagement letter with ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. in respect of statements made or information provided by the Company; provided, this indemnity shall not apply to any statements or information (i) the accuracy or non-misleading nature of which the Parent has represented and warranted in this Agreement or (ii) which is provided by Parent in writing specifically to be provided to investors or prospective investors in connection with the PIPE Investment.

7.16. D&O Insurance and Indemnification.

(a) All rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors and officers of the Parent or the Company, as provided in the Parent Organizational Documents, the Company Organizational Documents or otherwise in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, in either case, solely with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time shall survive the Transactions and shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Effective Time and the Parent or the Company, as applicable, will perform and discharge, or cause to be performed and discharged, all obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall advance, or cause to be advanced, expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the Parent Organizational Documents, the Company Organizational Documents or other applicable agreements as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Parent Organizational Documents and the Company Organizational Documents shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Effective Time in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, or at any time prior to such time, were directors or officers of the Parent or the Company (the “D&O Persons”) entitled to be so indemnified, their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time and relating to the fact that such D&O Person was a director or officer of the Parent or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) From and following the Effective Time, the Parent shall maintain, without any lapses in coverage and with an effective date as of the Closing Date, its directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of Parent as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time. In addition, Parent shall purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six-year prepaid “tail policy” for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of Parent’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Tail Policy”). In satisfying its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.16(b), Parent will not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of Two Hundred and Fifty percent (250%) of the

amount paid by Parent for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such Two Hundred and Fifty percent (250%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”). If the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, then the Parent will be obligated to obtain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Parent’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier.

(c) If the Parent, the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of the Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.16.

(d) The D&O Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 7.16 are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.16. This Section 7.16 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Parent or the Company, and such obligations shall be in addition to any and all indemnification, liability limitation and exculpation afforded to such D&O Persons under the Parent Organizational Documents or applicable law.

7.17. Parent Transaction Expenses Statement; Indebtedness. No later than Eight (8) Business Days prior to the expected Closing Date, the Parent shall deliver to the Company a statement setting forth its reasonable good faith estimate of the amount of Parent Transaction Expenses and Indebtedness, with elements constituting Parent Transaction Expenses and Indebtedness separately categorized, and indicating if they have been accrued, should be accrued under GAAP, or that are payable at or as of the Effective Time.

7.18. Reverse Split. The Parent and the Company shall use their reasonable efforts to agree upon a reverse split ratio applicable to a reverse split of the Parent’s common stock (with a concurrent reduction of the authorized capital stock by the same ratio) pursuant to the Reincorporation and Charter Amendment such that the Parent’s Common Stock would be reasonably expected to remain in full compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule even after the issuance of the New Share Amount (the “Reverse Split”). If Parent and the Company are unable to agree to the reverse split ratio or other terms of the Reverse Split at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Closing, then the reverse split ratio shall be such that every 4 shares of Parent’s Common Stock shall become 1 share of Parent Common Stock, and with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares according to customary market practice. Parent and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with each other to determine the timing for filing of the Reincorporation and Charter Amendment and, pursuant to such agreed time, the Parent shall file the Reincorporation and Charter Amendment with the appropriate Government Authorities. Promptly after the Reincorporation and Charter Amendment is effective in the State of Delaware, the Parent Board shall adopt, prior to Closing, resolutions substantially identical to those adopted in connection with its approval of this Agreement and the Merger, and such other resolutions as the Company may reasonably request.

7.19. Litigation. At all times until the Effective Time, the Parent shall control the defense of any Transaction Litigation, but the Parent will provide Company with prompt notice of all Transaction Litigation (including by providing copies of all pleadings with respect thereto) and keep Company promptly and reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. The Parent will (a) give Company the opportunity to participate (but not control, and at Company’s sole cost and expense) in the defense, settlement or prosecution of any Transaction Litigation; and (b) consult with Company with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any Transaction Litigation. The Parent may not compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, any Transaction Litigation unless Company has consented thereto in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). For purposes of this ‎Section 7.19, “participate” means that Company will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Transaction Litigation by the Parent (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Parent and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise adversely affected or jeopardized in any respect), and Company may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Transaction Litigation but will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over such Transaction Litigation except for the settlement or compromise consent set forth above. Any amounts paid or incurred in connection with any such Transaction Litigation (including the reasonable costs of attorney’s fees), if any, will not operate to reduce the Cash Dividend or Net Working Capital of the Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, any Action against the Company shall be controlled by the Company and any Action against the Company and Parent shall be jointly controlled, with each Party cooperating in good faith, applying the principles of this Section 7.19 to the maximum extent possible.

7.20. Continued Employment. Surviving Company and Parent will take reasonable steps to continue the employment on and after the Closing Date of each employee (“Employee”) who is employed by Parent on the Closing Date. For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Surviving Company will cause Parent to provide, and Parent will provide, each Employee who continues employment with Parent with an annual base salary or wage rate that is at least equal to the Employee’s annual base salary or wage rate as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. In addition, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Surviving Company and Parent agree, subject to eligibility conditions and other terms of the applicable employee benefit plans and programs, to provide Employees who continue employment Parent with health and welfare benefits that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the health and welfare benefits provided to Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, it being understood that the parties agree that there will no obligation to make any contribution to or, or maintain the ESOP after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.20 to the contrary, nothing contained herein, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an establishment, amendment or other modification of any Parent Plan or any employee benefit plan of the Company, the Parent or the Surviving Company, or shall limit the right of the Surviving Company or Parent to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Parent Plan or other employee benefit plan of the Surviving Company following the Closing Date. The Parent and the Company acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 7.20 are included for their sole benefit, and that nothing in this Section 7.20, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights: (i) in any other Person, including any Employee, any participant in any Parent Plan or other employee benefit plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (ii) to continued employment with the Company, Parent or

the Surviving Company or to any particular term or condition of employment. For the avoidance of doubt, all Employees are and will be, at all times, deemed “employees at will,” under Minnesota law and subject to termination with or without cause and with or without notice, subject to Minnesota law.

Any Party to this Agreement may give any notice or other communication hereunder using any other means (including personal delivery, messenger service, telecopy, ordinary mail or electronic mail), but no such notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until it actually is received by the Party for whom it is intended. Any Party to this Agreement may change the address to which notices and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other parties to this Agreement notice in the manner herein set forth.

10.3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents and instruments referred to herein that are to be delivered at the Closing), the Parent Voting Agreement, the Company Voting Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Parties to this Agreement and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties hereto, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof and the Parties hereto expressly disclaim reliance on any such prior understandings, agreements or representations to the extent not embodied in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

10.4. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder, except as expressly provided herein.

10.5. Assignment. No Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its performance obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment or attempted or purported assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment of rights or delegation of performance obligations in violation of this Section 10.5 is void.

10.6. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable

term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

10.7. Counterparts and Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or by an electronic scan delivered by electronic mail), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or by an electronic scan delivered by electronic mail.

10.8. Governing Law. All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Transactions (including its interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Delaware, except that the matters contained in Article II with regards to the effects of the Merger between the Company and the Merger Sub shall be governed by the DGCL and MBCA, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

10.9. Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

10.10. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties to this Agreement (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, to the extent that neither of the foregoing courts has jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (as applicable, the “Chosen Court”) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such Chosen Court, (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such Chosen Court and (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding

so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any Party may make service on another Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Section 10.10, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

10.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, THE MERGER SUB AND COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, THE MERGER SUB OR COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

10.12. Disclosure Schedule. Each of the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered sections contained in this Agreement, and the disclosure in any section shall qualify only (a) the corresponding section of this Agreement and (b) the other sections of this Agreement, to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from a reading of such disclosure that it also qualifies or applies to such other sections. The inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material, has resulted in or would result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, or is outside the Ordinary Course of Business. The Parties acknowledge that Section 7.9 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule may be updated prior to the Effective Time to reflect any changes in the individuals to be appointed to the Parent Board and the class such individual is to serve or from whom resignations shall be obtained.

10.13. No Recourse. Except in the case of fraud, all actions, claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of actions (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to: (a) this Agreement, (b) the negotiation, execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), (c) any breach of this Agreement and (d) any failure of the Merger to be consummated, may be made only against (and, without prejudice to the rights of any express third-party beneficiary to whom rights under this Agreement inure pursuant to Section 10.4), solely those Persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement and not against any Nonparty Affiliate (as defined below). Except in the case of fraud, no other Person, including any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, optionholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any Party to this Agreement, or any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of, or any financial advisor or lender to (each of the foregoing, a “Nonparty Affiliate”) any of the foregoing shall have any liabilities (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate,

limited partnership or limited liability company veil) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to the items in the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (d) and each Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably releases and forever discharges each of the Nonparty Affiliate from any such Liability or obligation. Nothing contained in this Section 10.13 shall relieve the Company or the Parent of any indemnification obligation set forth in this Agreement.

10.14. Legal Representation. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Proskauer Rose LLP (“Proskauer”) may have, prior to the Closing, represented the Company in connection with this Agreement, the documents and agreements referred to herein to be entered into by the Company and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and has also represented the Company and/or its Affiliates in connection with matters other than the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement, Proskauer will be permitted in the future, after the Closing, to represent the Parent.

The voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights and powers of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of any series of Preferred Stock as may be designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) and outstanding from time to time.

2. Voting. Except as otherwise provided herein or expressly required by law, each holder of Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to vote on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders and shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this [Amended and Restated] Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation (as defined below)) that relates solely to the rights, powers, preferences (or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) or other terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation) or pursuant to the DGCL.

Subject to the rights of any holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

3. Dividends. Subject to applicable law and the rights and preferences of any holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to the payment of dividends on the Common Stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors in accordance with applicable law.

4. Liquidation. Subject to the rights and preferences of any holders of any shares of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the funds and assets of the Corporation that may be legally distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the then outstanding Common Stock pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder.

B. PREFERRED STOCK

Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the creation and issuance of such series adopted by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided.

Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors from time to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in connection with the creation of any such series, by adopting a resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of the shares thereof and by filing a certificate of designation relating thereto in accordance with the DGCL (a “Certificate of Designation”), to determine and fix the number of shares of such series and such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including

C-2

without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, and to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series as shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the creation and issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law and this [Amended and Restated] Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation). Except as otherwise required by law, holders of any series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled only to such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto by this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation).

The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.
