        (c)    Conversion of Preferred Stock.    At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities, each share of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations, survive the Merger and shall thereafter only represent the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Conversion Amount with respect to such share, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, upon delivery of a Notice of Conversion in accordance with Section 2.2 and the Certificate of Designations (which right may, at the request of the holder of such share of Preferred Stock, be represented by a security issued by the Surviving Corporation).

        (d)    Treatment of Company Warrants.    

        (i)    Each Common Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall survive the Merger and remain outstanding, but shall, upon any subsequent exercise of such Common Warrant (by delivery to the Surviving Corporation of the Notice of Exercise pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(iv) and the terms of such Common Warrant), be entitled to receive only the Warrant Consideration for each Company Share for which such Common Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Closing, which amount shall be held in escrow pending the exercise of such Common Warrant or its repurchase in accordance with its terms; provided that the holder of any Common Warrant may notify the Company (or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation), by delivery thereto of the Repurchase Notice pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(iv) and the terms of such Common Warrant within 30 days after the Warrant Repurchase Date that such holder is exercising the holder's right to cause the Company to repurchase such Common Warrant from such holder for the Black-Scholes Value of such Common Warrant, in accordance with its terms and conditions, and the Surviving Corporation shall repurchase such Common Warrants in accordance with their terms; provided, further, that in no event may any holder of Common Warrants receive both the Warrant Consideration and the Black-Scholes Value in exchange for such Common Warrant.

        (g)    Company Actions.    Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and take all actions as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to effect the transactions described by this Section 2.1, including assisting Parent (at Parent's expense) with respect to the mailing of notices and other materials to any holders of Preferred Stock, Company Warrants or Convertible Notes (except to the extent such notices are required by this Agreement or the terms of such Preferred Stock, Company Warrants or Convertible Notes).

        2.2.    Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.    

        (a)    Paying Agent.    At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a reputable bank or trust company to act as the paying agent (the identity and terms of designation and appointment of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) for purposes of delivering or causing to be delivered to each holder of Company Shares, shares of Preferred Stock and Company Warrants, the Merger Consideration, the Conversion Amount, the Warrant Consideration or the Black-Scholes Value, as applicable, that such holder shall become entitled to receive with respect to such holder's Company Shares, shares of Preferred Stock or Company Warrants pursuant to the Merger and, with respect to the Preferred Stock and Company Warrants, such other actions as may be required of the holder thereof in accordance with the terms of such Equity Interest (the "Paying Agent"). Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient for the Paying Agent to distribute the Merger Consideration, and, to the extent necessary for payment at Closing, the Conversion Amount and the Warrant Consideration or the Black-Scholes Value, as applicable (such evidence of cash deposited with the Paying Agent, collectively, the "Exchange Fund"), to which holders of Company Shares, Preferred Stock and Company Warrants shall be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement. Any portion of the Conversion Amount, the Warrant Consideration or the Black-Scholes Value that is not required for payment at Closing will be deposited with the Paying Agent on an as-needed basis. In the event such deposited funds are insufficient to make the payments contemplated pursuant to Section 2.1, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent such additional funds to ensure that the Paying Agent has sufficient funds to make such payments. Such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of the Company Shares; provided, however, that any such investments shall be in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States government or rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Investor Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation, respectively. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Surviving Corporation, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Company Shares, holders of shares of Preferred Stock or holders of Company Warrants.

        (b)    Procedures for Surrender.    

        (i)    Certificates.    As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Company Shares (the "Certificates"), which Company Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the

5

---

Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, shall include any certifications Parent may reasonably request relating to any withholding obligations of Parent under the Code or other applicable Tax law, and shall otherwise be in such form as Parent and the Paying Agent shall reasonably agree; and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(e)) in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.2(e)) to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each Company Share formerly represented by such Certificates (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.5), and any Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered and shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Agreement, except for Certificates representing Company Shares that are Dissenting Shares, which shall be deemed to represent the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Company Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL.

        (ii)    Book-Entry Company Shares.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no holder of non-certificated Company Shares represented by book-entry ("Book-Entry Company Shares") shall be required to deliver a Certificate or, in the case of holders of Book-Entry Company Shares held through The Depository Trust Company, an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a). In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Company Shares held through The Depository Trust Company whose Company Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement shall, upon receipt of an "agent's message" by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence of transfer or surrender as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver to The Depository Trust Company or its nominee as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration in respect of each such Book-Entry Company Share pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE II (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.5), and such Book-Entry Company Shares of such holder shall be cancelled. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than three Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Book-Entry Company Shares not held through The Depository Trust Company: (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall include any certifications Parent may reasonably request relating to any withholding obligations of Parent under the Code or other applicable Tax law and be in such form as Parent and the Paying Agent shall reasonably agree; and (B) instructions for returning such letter of transmittal in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon delivery of such letter of transmittal, in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Book-Entry Company Shares

6

---

shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration in respect of each such Book-Entry Company Share pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE II (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.5), and such Book-Entry Company Shares shall at the Effective Time be cancelled. Payment and delivery of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Company Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Company Shares are registered. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Book-Entry Company Shares. Until paid or surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Book-Entry Company Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Agreement, except for Book-Entry Company Shares representing Company Shares that are Dissenting Shares, which shall be deemed to represent the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Company Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL.

        (iii)    Preferred Stock.    As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person that is, as of such date, a holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock, which shares shall, at the Effective Time, represent the right to receive the Conversion Amount: (A) a notice of conversion in the form set forth in the Certificate of Designations ("Notice of Conversion"); (B) a letter of transmittal, which shall include any certifications the Surviving Corporation may reasonably request relating to any withholding obligations of the Surviving Corporation under the Code or other applicable Tax law, and shall otherwise be in such form as Parent and the Paying Agent shall reasonably agree; and (C) instructions for effecting the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock in exchange for payment of the Conversion Amount. Upon delivery of the Notice of Conversion to the Surviving Corporation, together with delivery to the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Notice of Conversion, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the Conversion Amount (without interest), and any share of Preferred Stock represented by such Notice of Conversion shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of the Conversion Amount is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any share of Preferred Stock is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that the transfer of such share of Preferred Stock be properly documented in accordance with the requirements of the Certificate of Designations and the Surviving Corporation, and the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Conversion Amount to a Person other than the registered holder of such share of Preferred Stock so converted and shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock. Until converted as contemplated hereby, each share of Preferred Stock outstanding shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Conversion Amount as contemplated by this Agreement and the Certificate of Designations.

        (iv)    Company Warrants.    As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person that is, as of such date, a holder of record of Company Warrants, other than the Underwater Warrants: (A) a form of notice of exercise in the form set forth in the applicable Company Warrant ("Notice of Exercise"); (B) a form of notice of repurchase requiring the Surviving Corporation to repurchase such Common Warrants or Black-Scholes Warrants at their Black-Scholes Value (the "Repurchase Notice"); (C) a letter of transmittal, which shall include any certifications the Surviving Corporation may reasonably request relating to any withholding obligations of the Surviving Corporation under the Code or other applicable Tax law,

7

---

and shall otherwise be in such form as Parent and the Paying Agent shall reasonably agree; and (D) instructions for requiring the repurchase by the Surviving Corporation of such Company Warrants in exchange for their Black-Scholes Value and, with respect to the Common Warrants, for effecting the exercise of the Common Warrants in exchange for payment of the Conversion Amount (including notice that any Repurchase Notice must be delivered to the Surviving Corporation within 30 days after the Warrant Repurchase Date). Upon delivery of the Repurchase Notice or Notice of Exercise to the Surviving Corporation, together with delivery to the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Notice of Exercise or Repurchase Notice, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Company Warrants shall be entitled to receive the Warrant Consideration with respect to each Company Share for which such Company Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, or the Black-Scholes Value with respect to such Company Warrant, as applicable (in each case without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.5), and the Company Warrant represented by such Notice of Exercise or Repurchase Notice shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of the Warrant Consideration or Black-Scholes Value, as applicable, is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any Company Warrant is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that the transfer of such Company Warrant be properly documented in accordance with the requirements, terms and conditions of such Company Warrant (including delivery of any form of assignment attached to such Company Warrant), and the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Warrant Consideration or Black-Scholes Value to a Person other than the registered holder of the Company Warrant so exercised or repurchased and shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon exercise or repurchase of the Company Warrants. Until converted or repurchased as contemplated hereby, each Company Warrant outstanding shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the amounts contemplated by Section 2.1(d) of this Agreement.

        (c)    Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares.    At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to the Company Shares shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Company Shares that represented ownership of Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

        (d)    Termination of Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability.    Any portion of the funds in the Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) made available to the Paying Agent that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates, Book-Entry Company Shares, shares of Preferred Stock or Company Warrants on the six month anniversary of the Effective Time will be returned to the Surviving Corporation or an affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any such holder who has not tendered its Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares for the Merger Consideration, its Notice of Conversion in exchange for the Conversion Amount, or its Repurchase Notice or Notice of Exercise, in each case in accordance with Section 2.2(b), prior to such time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for delivery of the Merger Consideration, Conversion Amount, Warrant Consideration or Black-Scholes Value, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law or the terms of such Equity Interest, in respect of such holder's surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares or delivery of their Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b). Any Merger Consideration remaining

8

---

unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation or an affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Holders of shares of Preferred Stock may deliver a Notice of Conversion in exchange for the Conversion Amount at any time following the Effective Time. Holders of Common Warrants or Black-Scholes Warrants may deliver a Repurchase Notice to the Surviving Corporation at any time within 30 days following the Warrant Repurchase Date, and any Repurchase Notice received after such date shall be invalid and the holder of the Company Warrant in respect of such Repurchase Notice shall not be entitled to the Black-Scholes Value. Holders of the Common Warrants that do not otherwise deliver a Repurchase Notice shall be entitled to the Warrant Consideration upon delivery of a Notice of Exercise and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b)(iv) until the expiry of such Common Warrants in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or their respective affiliates will be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Company Shares for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(a), to pay for Company Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand.

        (e)    Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.    In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificates to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Merger Consideration, payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(a). Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in a reasonable sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

        2.3.    Dissenting Shares.    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to the provisions of this Section 2.3), Company Shares and shares of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who did not vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement with respect to such shares, and who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such Company Shares or shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such Company Shares, the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and the holders of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights granted to them under Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses his right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or other applicable Law, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into and shall be exchangeable solely for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law in accordance with this ARTICLE II and shall not thereafter be deemed to be Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Company Shares and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.

        (b)    Termination of Company Equity Plans.    As of the Effective Time, the 2009 Plan and the 2019 Plan (each, a "Company Equity Plan" and, collectively, the "Company Equity Plans") shall be terminated and no further Company Shares, Company Options, Equity Interests or other rights with respect to Company Shares shall be granted thereunder.

To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

        2.6.    Certain Adjustments.    In the event that, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding Company Shares, Preferred Stock or Company Warrants shall occur as a result of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of Equity Interests convertible into or exchangeable for Company Shares), recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar event, the Merger Consideration, Conversion Amount or Warrant Consideration, as applicable, shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such event and to provide to holders of Company Shares, shares of Preferred Stock and Company Warrants the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that nothing in this Section 2.6 shall be deemed to permit or authorize the Company to take any such action or effect any such change that it is not otherwise authorized or permitted to take pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 5.1).

No trust funding any Company Benefit Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

        (e)   None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, nor, to the Company's Knowledge, any other Person (including any fiduciary whom the company has an obligation to indemnify) has engaged in any "prohibited transaction" (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and other than a transaction that is exempt under a statutory or administrative exemption) which could reasonably be expected to subject any of the Company Benefit Plans or their related trusts, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective ERISA Affiliates or any Person that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has an obligation to indemnify, to liability. No material Proceeding (including any audit or inquiry by the IRS or United States Department of Labor (other than routine benefits claims)) is pending, or to the Company's Knowledge is threatened, against or with respect to any Company Benefit Plan, any fiduciary of a Company Benefit Plan with respect to such fiduciary's duties to the Company Benefit Plan for whom the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has an obligation to indemnify, or the assets of any trust under any of the Company Benefit Plans.

No material liability under Title IV of ERISA has been incurred by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates that has not been satisfied in full, and no condition exists that presents a material risk to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates of incurring or being subject (whether primarily, jointly or secondarily) to a material liability thereunder. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA.

        (g)   No Company Benefit Plan is, and none of the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates sponsors, maintains, participates in, contributes to, or has any obligation (contingent or otherwise) with respect to, or sponsored, maintained, participated in, contributed to, or had any obligation (contingent or otherwise), with respect to any multiple employer plan (within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code), or multiple employer welfare arrangement (within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA).

        (h)   Each Company Benefit Plan that is a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) and any award thereunder, in each case, that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, has been maintained and operated in documentary and operational

No Company Benefit Plan provides for the gross-up or reimbursement of Taxes under Sections 409A or 4999 of the Code or otherwise.

        (j)    None of the execution of this Agreement, the Support Agreements or the consummation of the Transactions (alone or in conjunction with any other event, including any termination of employment) will (i) entitle any current or former Service Provider to any additional compensation or benefit (including any bonus, retention or severance pay), (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or result in any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits, increase the amount payable or result in any other material obligation to, any Service Provider, or (iii) limit or restrict the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, after the consummation of the Merger or the Transactions, the Surviving Corporation or any of its affiliates, to merge, amend or terminate any Company Benefit Plan.

        (a)   On the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Equity Financing (as defined below), Parent will have available all funds necessary (i) to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, the aggregate Conversion Amount, the aggregate Warrant Consideration and the aggregate Black-Scholes Value, (ii) to satisfy the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, including in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions, and (iii) to pay all related expenses required to be paid by Parent and the Surviving Corporation.

        (b)   Parent has delivered to the Company a true and complete copy of each Equity Commitment Letter, pursuant to which each Equity Financer has committed, subject only to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide cash equity or debt financing (the "Equity Financing") to Parent and Merger Sub in the amount set forth therein in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. There are no exhibits, schedules, annexes, amendments, supplements, letters, agreements, or understandings relating to either the Equity Financing or the Equity Commitment Letters to which Parent or any of its affiliates is subject or a party other than those set forth in the Equity Commitment Letters that, prior to the date hereof, has been delivered to the Company. No party is in default or breach under any of the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letters and no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach thereunder or a failure of any condition to the obligations in the Equity Commitment Letters or otherwise result in the failure of any portion of the Equity Financing to be disbursed in a timely enough manner to finance, without delay, the consummation of each of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The commitments and terms contained in the Equity Commitment Letters have not been amended, modified, supplemented, rejected, reduced, terminated, withdrawn or rescinded in any respect and each Equity Financer has not notified Parent or Merger Sub of any intention to do any of the foregoing. Each Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect in the form so delivered and constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Equity Financing, other than as set forth in the Equity Commitment Letters. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Equity Financing will not be satisfied or that any portion of the Equity Financing will not be available to Parent and Merger Sub in a timely enough manner to finance, without delay, the consummation of each of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

        4.8.    Ownership of Merger Sub.    All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Merger Sub are, and at the Effective Time will be, owned directly or indirectly by Parent. Merger Sub was formed

solely for purposes of the Merger and, except for matters incident to formation and execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of the transactions contemplated hereby, has not prior to the date hereof engaged in any business or other activities.

        4.9.    No Other Representations and Warranties.    Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this ARTICLE IV, none of Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective affiliates or any other Person on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub makes any express or implied representation or warranty (and there is and has been no reliance by the Company or any of its affiliates or Representatives on any such representation or warranty) with respect to Parent, Merger Sub, any other Subsidiary of Parent or their respective businesses or with respect to any other information provided, or made available, to the Company or its Representatives or affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the accuracy or completeness thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person will have or be subject to any liability or other obligation to the Company or its Representatives or affiliates or any other Person resulting from the Company's or its Representatives' or affiliates' use of any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to the Company or its Representatives or affiliates, including any information made available in management presentations, functional "break-out" discussions, responses to questions submitted on behalf of the Company or its Representatives or in any other form in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless and to the extent any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in this ARTICLE IV.

        5.3.  No Solicitation.

        (a)   Subject to Section 5.3(b), from and after the date hereof until the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, (x) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Third Party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (y) deliver a written notice to any such Third Party explicitly stating that the Company is terminating all discussions and negotiations with such Third Party with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and requesting that such Third Party promptly return or destroy all confidential or proprietary information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries and (z) promptly terminate access to any due diligence or electronic or physical data room with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.3, from and after the date hereof until the Effective Time, or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE VII, neither the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Transaction Committee, or otherwise) nor the Transaction Committee or any other committee thereof shall (i) adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) withdraw, change, qualify, withhold or modify, or publicly propose to withdraw, change, qualify, withhold or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation, (iii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iv) in the event a tender offer that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act is commenced, fail to recommend against such Acquisition Proposal in any solicitation or recommendation statement made on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days of such commencement, (v) approve, authorize or cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries

        (b)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), if at any time following the date hereof and prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a Third Party that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3, (i) the Company and its Representatives may contact the Person proposing such Acquisition Proposal or the Representatives of such Person solely to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and (ii) if the Transaction Committee (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, based on information then available, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal and that failure to take such actions would be reasonably likely to breach the directors' fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company may (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal, its Representatives and potential sources of financing pursuant to (but only pursuant to) one or more Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries provided or made available to any Third Party shall, to the extent not previously provided or made available to Parent or Merger Sub, be provided or made available to Parent or Merger Sub as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after it is provided or made available to such Third Party.

        (c)   The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent orally and in writing of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall identify the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal and include a copy of such Acquisition Proposal and any equity or debt financing materials related thereto (or, where such Acquisition Proposal was not submitted in writing, a reasonably detailed written description of such Acquisition Proposal including its material terms and conditions). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall keep Parent promptly informed (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) in all material respects of the status of, and any material communications relating to, such Acquisition Proposal (including any change in the price or other material terms thereof). The Company shall not terminate, amend, modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any "standstill" or similar obligation of any Person unless the Transaction Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably expected to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that the Company promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) advises Parent that it is taking such action and the identity of the Persons with respect to which it is taking such action. The Company shall not enter into any agreement with any Third Party relating to an Acquisition Proposal which has the effect of prohibiting the Company or its Representatives from communicating with, or providing any information or materials to, Parent in accordance with, or otherwise complying with this Section 5.3(c).

41

        (d)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), if, in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement and not withdrawn that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3, the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Transaction Committee) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, (A) effect a Change of Board Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal or (B) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) in order to enter into a definitive written agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in either case subject to the requirements of this Section 5.3(d). The Company shall not be entitled to effect a Change of Board Recommendation pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) unless:

        (i)    the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Transaction Committee, shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such a Change of Board Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) in response to the receipt of such Superior Proposal would reasonably be expected to be a breach of the directors' fiduciary duties under applicable Law;

        (ii)   the Company shall have provided to Parent at least four (4) Business Days' prior written notice (the "Notice Period") of the Company's intention to take such actions, which notice shall specify the basis for such Change of Board Recommendation or decision to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e), the identity of the Third Party making such Superior Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, and shall include a copy of the applicable Company Acquisition Agreement and any other material documents with respect thereto,

        (iii)  during the Notice Period, if requested by Parent, the Company shall have, and shall have caused its Representatives to have, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent and its Representatives regarding any amendments or modifications to this Agreement proposed by Parent and intended to cause the relevant Acquisition Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal; and

        (iv)  at the end of such Notice Period, the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Transaction Committee, shall have considered in good faith any proposed amendments or modifications to this Agreement (including a change to the price terms hereof) and the other agreements contemplated hereby that may be offered by Parent (the "Proposed Changed Terms") no later than 11:59 a.m., New York City time, on the last day of the Notice Period and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such Proposed Changed Terms were to be given effect and that failure to make a Change of Board Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal would reasonably be expected to breach the directors' fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

        In the event of any change to the price terms or any other material revision or amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(d) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis) with respect to such new written notice, except that in the case of such a new written notice, the Notice Period shall be three (3) Business Days.

        (e)   Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 shall prohibit the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Transaction Committee) from (i) disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 and Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (ii) making any disclosure to the

42

---

stockholders of the Company if the Company Board (acting upon a recommendation of the Transaction Committee) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties or violate applicable Law, provided that upon the written request by Parent following any disclosure specified in this Section 5.3(e), the Company Board and the Transaction Committee shall publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within three Business Days following receipt of such request and a failure to do so shall be deemed to be a Change of Board Recommendation. The issuance by the Company or the Company Board of a "stop, look and listen" statement pending disclosure of its position, as contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, shall not constitute a Change of Board Recommendation.

        (f)    The Company acknowledges and agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.3 by any of its Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.3 by the Company.

        (g)   For purposes of this Agreement:

        (i)    "Acquisition Proposal" means any inquiry, offer or proposal from a Third Party concerning (A) a merger, consolidation or other business combination or similar transaction involving the Company, (B) a sale, lease or other disposition by merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, joint venture or otherwise, of assets of the Company (including Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of the Company) or its Subsidiaries representing 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries in a single transaction or series of related transactions, based on their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Company Board and the Transaction Committee, (C) an issuance or acquisition (including by way of merger, consolidation, business combination or share exchange) of Equity Interests representing 20% or more of the voting power of the Company in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or (D) any combination of the foregoing (in each case, other the Merger).

        (ii)   "Superior Proposal" means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (except the references therein to "20%" shall be replaced by "75%") made by a Third Party that is not solicited or received in violation, or resulting from any breach, of this Section 5.3 and that the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Transaction Committee) determine in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, taking into account such factors as the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Transaction Committee) considers in good faith to be appropriate (including the financing terms, conditionality, timing and likelihood of consummation of such proposals), (A) is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, and (B) if consummated, would be more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company's common stockholders than the Merger (taking in account any Proposed Changed Terms).

        5.4.    SEC Filings; Other Actions.

In addition, if required pursuant to the terms of the Company Warrants or reasonably requested by Parent, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and file the Notice 8-K in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Company Warrants.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve, and each party agrees to consult and cooperate with the other party in resolving, all SEC comments with respect to the Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof and to cause the Proxy Statement in definitive form to be cleared by the SEC and mailed to the Company's stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following filing with the SEC. The Company agrees to consult with Parent prior to responding to SEC comments with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agree to correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement which shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law and the Company shall promptly prepare, file with the SEC and, if any such correction is made following the mailing of the Proxy Statement, mail to its stockholders an amendment or supplement setting forth such correction, as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) (i) notify Parent of the receipt of any comments (whether written or oral) from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and (ii) provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement and a summary of any oral correspondence.

        (b)   The Company will take, in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Charter and the Company Bylaws all action reasonably necessary (i) to establish a record date for, duly call and give notice of a meeting of holders of the issued and outstanding Company Shares (the "Company Meeting" and the record date for the Company Meeting, the "Record Date") to consider and vote upon (A) the adoption of this Agreement; and (B) a non-binding advisory vote on "golden parachute" executive compensation arrangements if required by Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act; and (ii) mail the Proxy Statement to the stockholders of record of the Company and to other stockholders as required by Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act, as of the Record Date, in each case, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the later of the request of Parent and the date on which the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) confirms that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement) (the date the Company is required to take such actions, the "Proxy Date"). The Company shall convene and hold the Company Meeting as promptly as practicable after the Proxy Date; provided, however, that (a) in no event shall the Company Meeting be held later than thirty-five (35) calendar days following the date the Proxy Statement is mailed to the Company's stockholders and (b) the Company shall not adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent, other than to the extent required to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the SEC or its staff has instructed the Company is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company's stockholders prior to the Company Meeting. Subject to Section 5.3(d) hereof, the Company Board shall recommend such adoption of this Agreement and include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Company Meeting has been convened, the Company shall, upon the request of Parent, and the Company may, if Parent does not make such request, adjourn

44

the Company Meeting on one or more occasions to the extent necessary to solicit additional proxies in favor of adoption of this Agreement, for such time period as determined by Parent (or, if Parent does not make such request, as determined by the Company); provided, however that (i) such adjournment shall not exceed fifteen (15) calendar days for each such adjournment, (ii) the Company Meeting shall not be adjourned by more than forty-five (45) calendar days in the aggregate from the originally scheduled date of the Company Meeting, and (iii) no such adjournment shall be permitted if the Company shall have received by the Company Meeting an aggregate number of proxies voting for the adoption of this Agreement, which have not been withdrawn, such that the condition in Section 6.1(a) would be satisfied if a vote were taken at the Company Meeting. Once the Company has established the Record Date, the Company shall not change such Record Date or establish a different record date without the prior written consent of Parent, unless required to do so by Law (determined after consultation with outside counsel), including as a result of any adjournment or postponement of the Company Meeting pursuant to the prior sentence. If the Record Date is changed, the Company shall, as to that Record Date, comply with each of its obligations under this Section 5.4. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and shall ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Company Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Law. The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of Parent, advise Parent at least on a daily basis on each of the last seven Business Days prior to the date of the Company Meeting as to the aggregate tally of proxies received by the Company with respect to the adoption of this Agreement.

        5.5.    Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.    

        (a)   Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions that are necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Law to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, including using reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) obtain all consents, approvals or waivers from, or participation in other discussions or negotiations with, Third Parties, including under any Contract to which the Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries is party or by which such Person or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound (provided, that the Company shall not pay or agree to pay any material consent fees or other material payments requested by any such Third Parties without the written consent of Parent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) obtain all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, approvals, Orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities (including, without limitation, those in connection with applicable Competition Laws), make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with and take all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid any Proceeding by, any Governmental Entity (including, without limitation, in connection with applicable Competition Laws), (iii) resist, contest or defend any Proceeding (including administrative or judicial Proceedings) challenging the Merger or the completion of the Transactions, including seeking to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is in effect and that could restrict, prevent or prohibit consummation of the Transactions, and (iv) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and fully to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Each of the parties shall furnish to each other party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, the Company and Parent shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each shall consult with the other in connection with, all of the information relating to the Company or Parent, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials

45

---

submitted to, any Third Party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the Transactions. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Company and Parent shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Subject to applicable Law, the Company and Parent shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Transactions, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other written substantive communications received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, from any Governmental Entity and/or Third Party with respect to such transactions, and, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, shall provide the other party and its counsel with the opportunity to participate in any meeting or telephone call with any Governmental Entity in respect of any substantive filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 5.5 as "outside counsel only." Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials. Subject to applicable Law, the parties will consult and cooperate with each other in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, and proposals made or submitted to any Governmental Entity regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by or on behalf of any party. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates to, make or cause to be made all filings required under applicable Competition Laws with respect to the Transactions as promptly as practicable and advisable, as agreed by the parties, after the date of this Agreement.

        (b)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with the receipt of any necessary approvals or clearances of a Governmental Entity (including under the HSR Act) or in connection with any investigation of the transactions described herein by any Governmental Entity under any Competition Law, Parent and its Subsidiaries shall be required, if necessary to obtain any required approvals or clearances of a Governmental Entity (including under the HSR Act) by or before the Outside Date or to otherwise be able to close the transactions described herein by or before the Outside Date, to offer to, agree to, and effectuate (i) the sale, holding separate, licensing, or other disposal of any of their respective assets, businesses, or equity holdings or of any of the assets, businesses, or equity holdings of the Company after the Closing, (ii) conduct their business (and after the Closing the Company's business) in a specified manner including but not limited to entering into, terminating, or amending any contracts or licenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, (x) neither the Company nor Parent nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to commit, agree, or submit (or offer to commit, agree, or submit) to any action, term or condition in connection with its obligations under this Section 5.5 that is not conditioned upon consummation of the Merger, and (y) neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall be required to take any action, agree to take any action or consent to the taking of any action if such action would result in, or reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Merger and the other Transactions.

        (c)   Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Company prior to the consummation of the Merger. Prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions hereof, complete control and supervision of its operations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no consent of Parent shall be required with respect to any matter set forth in Section 5.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the

46

---

extent that the requirement of such consent could violate any applicable Law, as determined by Parent's outside counsel.

        5.6.    Certain Notices.    From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE VII, unless prohibited by applicable Law, each party shall give prompt notice to the other parties if any of the following occur: (a) receipt of any notice or other communication in writing from any Person alleging that the consent or approval of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions; (b) receipt of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity or NASDAQ (or any other securities market) in connection with the Transactions; or (c) such party becoming aware of the occurrence of an event that could prevent or delay beyond the Outside Date the consummation of the Transactions or that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in ARTICLE VI being incapable of satisfaction. Any such notice delivered pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not affect any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and any failure to make such notice (in and of itself) shall not be taken into account in determining whether the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI have been satisfied or give rise to any right of termination set forth in ARTICLE VII.

        5.7.    Public Announcements.    So long as this Agreement is in effect, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, shall not issue any press release or make any public statement with respect to the Merger or this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (a) as may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or regulatory or governmental body to which the relevant party is subject, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow each other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, or (b) with respect to any press release or other public statement by the Company permitted by Section 5.3. The Company shall file a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC attaching its press release and copy of this Agreement as exhibits.

        5.8.    Employee Benefit Matters.    

        (a)   Until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each Service Provider who is an employee and continues in the employment of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries (each, a "Continuing Employee") (A) base salary or wage rate that is not less than the base salary or wage rate provided to the Continuing Employee immediately prior to Closing, (B) annual cash incentive compensation (excluding equity incentive compensation) no less favorable than the cash incentive compensation (excluding equity incentive compensation) provided to the Continuing Employee immediately before the Closing, and (C) severance benefits in amounts and on terms and conditions that are no less favorable than those provided to the Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing and which are set forth on Section 3.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules. Until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each Continuing Employee benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate to (i) the employee benefits provided to the Continuing Employee under the Company Benefit Plans immediately prior the Closing or (ii) at Parent's sole discretion, the employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent; provided, that, for purposes of determining whether such employee benefits are substantially similar in the aggregate, defined benefit pension benefits, retention or change in control payments or awards provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date shall not be taken into account.

        (b)   For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits under the employee benefit plans of Parent or the Surviving Corporation and their Subsidiaries providing benefits to

47

---

any Continuing Employees after the Closing (the "New Plans"), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company prior to the Closing, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, prior to the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits or accruals under any defined benefit pension plans. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that (i) each Continuing Employee is immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is replacing a Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing (such plans, collectively, the "Old Plans") (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision, life insurance and/or disability benefits to any Continuing Employee, all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable plans of the Company in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending in the year in which the Closing Date occurs to be taken into account under the applicable New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan (but only to the extent such credit would have been given under the comparable Old Plan prior to the Closing).

        (c)   Unless otherwise requested by Parent at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing, the Company shall terminate any Company Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, effective as of the day immediately prior to the Effective Time and contingent upon the occurrence of the Effective Time, and the Company shall provide Parent with evidence of such termination (the form and substance of which shall be subject to reasonable review and comment by Parent) no later than five (5) days immediately preceding the Effective Time.

        (d)   In the event the Closing Date is prior to the Payroll Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay each Continuing Employee his or her annual bonus in respect of the 2019 fiscal year on the Surviving Corporation's first regularly scheduled payroll date following January 1, 2020 (the "Payroll Date"), subject to all applicable withholdings and such Continuing Employee's continued employment through the payment date. All such bonuses (if any) shall be paid at the Continuing Employee's target bonus opportunity, as set forth on Section 5.8(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedules.

        (e)   Nothing contained in this Agreement shall: (i) guarantee employment for any period of time or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective affiliates to terminate the employment of any employee, independent contractor, director or other service provider at any time and for any reason, or to change the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, compensation or terms of employment or service of any such service providers at any time and for any reason; (ii) require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective affiliates to continue or adopt any Company Benefit Plan or other employee benefit or compensatory plans, programs or Contracts or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof following the Closing; (iii) amend any Company Benefit Plans or other employee benefit plans, programs or Contracts; or (iv) create any Third Party rights in any current of former service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof).

        (a)   For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to the extent permissible under applicable Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and shall advance expenses as incurred (provided that the Indemnitee (as defined below) to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification for such matter), to the extent provided in (i) the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or similar organization documents of any Subsidiary of the Company in effect as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) any indemnification Contract of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement listed on Section 5.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, each present and former director and officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective employees who serves as a fiduciary of a Company Benefit Plan (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (each, an "Indemnitee" and, collectively, the "Indemnitees") against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, settlements, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters any action or omission by such Indemnitee relating to their position with the Company or its Subsidiaries occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions.

        (b)   Parent agrees that all rights to exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses arising from, relating to, or otherwise in respect of, acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions) existing as of the Effective Time in favor of an Indemnitee as provided in (i) the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or similar organization documents of any Subsidiary of the Company in effect as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) any indemnification Contract of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement listed on Section 5.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For a period of no less than six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation shall, maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions in favor of an Indemnitee as provided in (i) the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or similar organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Company in effect as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) any indemnification Contract of the Company or its Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement listed on Section 5.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who immediately before the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses in respect of any Proceeding pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Proceeding.

        (c)   For six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain for the benefit of those persons that are directors and officers of the Company, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Closing Date (the "D&O Insurance") that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than the existing directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policy of the Company, or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage then available; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 250% of the last annual premium paid by the

49

---

Company prior to the date of this Agreement which premium the Company represents and warrants to be approximately $408,987. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid "tail" policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of this Agreement or the Transactions.

        (d)   In the event that either Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

        (e)   The provisions of this Section 5.9 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her Representatives. From and after the Effective Time, the obligations of Parent under this Section 5.9 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.9 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.9 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.9).

        (f)    Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors' and officers' insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.9 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

        5.10.    Parent Agreements Concerning Merger Sub.    Prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Parent shall take all actions necessary or advisable to cause Merger Sub to perform its covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

        5.11.    Takeover Statutes.    If any state takeover Law or state Law that purports to limit or restrict business combinations or the ability to acquire or vote Company Shares (including any "control share acquisition," "fair price," "business combination" or other similar takeover Law) becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then the Company and the Company Board shall take all action reasonably available to it to render such Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

        5.12.    Section 16 Matters.    Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other dispositions of Company Shares (including derivative securities with respect to Company Shares) resulting from the Transactions by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

        5.13.    Stockholder Litigation.    The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any litigation brought by stockholders of the Company or any other Person against the Company and/or its directors and officers relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger ("Transaction Litigation"), and the Company shall not compromise, settle, come to an arrangement regarding or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding any Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any Transaction Litigation and shall keep Parent reasonably and promptly informed with respect to the status thereof.

50

        5.14.    Stock Exchange Delisting.    The Surviving Corporation shall cause the Company's securities to be de-listed from NASDAQ and de-registered under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, and prior to the Effective Time the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent with respect thereto.

        5.15.    Regulatory Matters.    To the extent consistent with applicable Law, the Company and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to develop the strategy and process by which the parties will communicate with all Governmental Entities regarding any plans or strategies in pursuit of future Regulatory Permits, changes to existing Regulatory Permits, and the conduct or design of clinical trials in furtherance thereof (collectively, the "Regulatory Matters"). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company shall (a) give Parent prompt notice upon obtaining knowledge of any written request, inquiry or communication from or by the FDA in connection with any such Regulatory Matters (b) keep Parent reasonably informed in a timely manner as to the status of any such request, inquiry or communication, and (c) permit Parent to review any material communication delivered to, and consult with Parent in advance of any meeting or conference with, the FDA relating to such Regulatory Matters. The Company will consult and cooperate with Parent, and consider in good faith the reasonable views of Parent, in connection with, and provide to Parent in advance, any responses, materials, analyses, presentations, memoranda, or proposals to be made or submitted to the FDA in connection with the Regulatory Matters.

        5.16.    Financing.    

        (a)   Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letters, including using its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Equity Commitment Letters until the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, (ii) satisfy or cause to be waived on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent set forth in the Equity Commitment Letters or such definitive agreements that are within its control and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder and (iii) upon the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, consummate the Equity Financing to the extent, and in the amount required, necessary to consummate the Merger and the Transactions; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent Parent from replacing all or any portion of the Equity Financing provided for in the Equity Commitment Letters with one or more commitments from Persons to provide an equal or greater amount of financing to be made available on or prior to the Closing Date with conditionality no less favorable to Parent in any material respect than that provided for in the Equity Commitment Letters, and upon any such replacement, the definition of "Equity Commitment Letters" set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified as appropriate to reflect such replacement debt or equity financing and any related commitment letter.

        (b)   Parent shall not amend, modify or waive, or agree to amend, modify or waive (in any case, whether by action or inaction), any term of either Equity Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of the Company if such amendment, modification or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing available on the Closing Date to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, the aggregate Conversion Amount, the aggregate Warrant Consideration and the aggregate Black-Scholes Value (unless, in the case of this clause (i), such amount is fully replaced with an amount of new financing with conditionality no less favorable to Parent in any material respect), or (ii) imposes new or additional conditions or amends or modifies any of the conditions precedent to the receipt of the Equity Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (x) materially delay or prevent the Closing, (y) make the timely funding of the Equity Financing or satisfaction of the conditions precedent to obtaining the Equity Financing less likely to occur or (z) adversely impact the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against any other party to

51

---

the Equity Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements with respect thereto in any material respect.

        (c)   From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (x) the Effective Time and (y) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such assistance and to cause each of its Subsidiaries and Representatives to provide such assistance, in connection with any equity or debt financing to be undertaken by Parent, Merger Sub or their affiliates for the purpose of funding the Transactions and the related fees and expenses (the "Financing") as is reasonably requested by Parent. Such assistance shall include the following: (i) reasonable cooperation with the marketing by Parent and its Financing Sources of the Financing; (ii) delivery to Parent and its Financing Sources of (A) information with respect to the business, operations, financial condition, projections and prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Parent or its Financing Sources; and (B) customary certificates, evidence of insurance, authorization letters in connection with the marketing materials for the financing, agreements and other documents and materials by the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives; (iii) participation by senior management of the Company in the negotiation of, and the execution and delivery of, the agreements, documents and certificates contemplated by the Financing, including (A) officer, secretary, solvency and perfection certificates, corporate organizational documents, good standing certificates, Lien searches, and resolutions requested by Parent or its Financing Sources; (B) documents reasonably requested by Parent or its Financing Sources relating to the repayment of existing debt; and (C) other customary documentation and other information; (iv) taking such actions as are reasonably requested by Parent or its Financing Sources to facilitate the satisfaction on a timely basis of all conditions precedent to obtaining the Financing; (v) taking all actions as may be reasonably requested by Parent or its Financing Sources in connection with the repayment of the existing indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (vi) using its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its independent auditors to cooperate with the Financing, including by (A) providing assistance with the due diligence activities of the Financing Sources and (B) providing access to work papers of the Company and its Subsidiaries and other supporting documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent or its Financing Sources; (vii) obtain accountants' comfort letters, legal opinions, and other documentation and items relating to the Financing as reasonably requested by Parent (including by assisting Parent's legal counsel in connection with obtaining or preparing any of the foregoing); (viii) using its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Parent all documentation and other information required by Regulatory Authorities or requested by the Financing Sources under applicable "know your customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, in each case, to the extent requested in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; and (vix) cooperation with Parent's Financing Sources' due diligence, to the extent customary or reasonable; provided, that nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall require any cooperation to the extent it would (1) require the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Company Board or the board of directors of any of the Company's Subsidiaries to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay any commitment, financing or other fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent reimbursed by Parent; (2) require any officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries to execute or deliver any document or certificate in connection with the Financing that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing (other than customary documents or certificates solely relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries); (3) require the Company or its Subsidiaries to take any action that would conflict with or violate any applicable Laws or any provision of the organizational documents of the Company, or that would result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Material Contract in effect as of the date

52

---

of any such request; or (4) result in any officer or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability in connection with the Financing; and provided, further, that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to incur any indebtedness, grant any Lien to secure indebtedness of Merger Sub or Parent, or pay any commitment fee or other fee or payment to obtain consent or incur any liability with respect to the Financing prior to the Effective Time, unless Parent has agreed in writing to reimburse and indemnify the Company for any such liabilities in the event the Effective Time does not occur. The Company will provide to Parent and its Financing Sources such information as may be necessary so that the information supplied by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, not misleading and will correct any such untrue statements or omissions promptly after any of the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives is aware of such untrue statement or omission.

Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, and their respective pre-Closing Representatives, from and against any liability, obligation or loss suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, any information provided in connection therewith (other than arising from information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries but including any violation of the Confidentiality Agreement) and any misuse of the logos or marks of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection therewith, except in the event such liabilities, obligations or losses arose out of or result from the willful misconduct of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Financing Source" means each Equity Financer and any future source of equity or debt financing, if any, that may provide financing to Parent or Merger Sub for the Transactions.

        5.17.    Treatment of Additional Equity Interests.    The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) take any actions that may be required by the Convertible Notes, the Certificate of Designations and the Company Warrants, as applicable, to be performed by the Company prior to the Effective Time, including, without limitation, as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the pending or actual consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions, including, as may be applicable, the giving of any notices, announcements, certificates, opinions, documents or instruments that the Company may be required to give prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide to Parent reasonable prior notice of any such action, including, without limitation, a draft of any writing to be provided in connection with such required actions, and the opportunity to comment on such writings, and the Company shall consider any such comments in good faith.

        (d)   Each of the parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that without these agreements, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay the Company Termination Fee when due, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a Proceeding that results in a judgment against the Company for the Company Termination Fee, the Company shall pay to Parent, together with the Company Termination Fee, (i) interest on the Company Termination Fee from the date of termination of this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate and (ii) Parent's costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection with such Proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company Termination Fee is paid by the Company pursuant to Section 7.3, then, except for liabilities or damages incurred or suffered as a result of a willful and material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination, any such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether based in contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Laws or otherwise) of Parent and Merger Sub against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, equity holders, managers, members or affiliates and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, managers, members or affiliates shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

        (a)   The parties agree that if this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(i) or Section 7.1(j), or by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d) at a time when the Company could have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(i) or Section 7.1(j), then Parent shall pay to the Company, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within two Business Days) following such termination, $2,000,000 (the "Parent Termination Fee").

        (b)   All payments under this Section 7.4 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, or in the absence of such designation, an account established for the sole benefit of the Company.

        (c)   Each of the parties acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 7.4 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company would not enter into this Agreement and (ii) the Parent Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages in an amount that shall compensate the Company for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance upon this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, and for the loss suffered by reason of the failure of such consummation, which amount would otherwise be uncertain and incapable of accurate determination. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

        (d)   In circumstances where the Parent Termination Fee is payable in accordance with Section 7.4(a), the Company's receipt of the Parent Termination Fee (if received) from or on behalf of Parent (plus any amounts payable or that become payable under Section 5.16(a) in

58

respect of the reimbursement and indemnity obligations therein) in full from Parent pursuant to Section 7.4 shall be the Company's sole and exclusive remedy (whether based in contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Laws or otherwise) against Parent, Merger Sub, the Financing Sources, the Financing Sources Related Parties and any of its and their respective former, current or future direct or indirect equity holders, general or limited partners, controlling Persons, stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, incorporator, employees, agents, affiliates, portfolio companies, assignees, advisors, attorney, consultant, Representative or principal of Parent, Merger Sub or any affiliate of Parent or Merger Sub (collectively, the "Parent Related Parties") for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger or the other Transactions to be consummated, for any breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon payment of such amount, no such Person shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.4(d) shall restrict the Company's right or ability to seek and obtain specific performance of this Agreement and Parent's obligation to enforce the Equity Commitment Letter as and to the extent permitted by Section 8.14 prior to the termination of this Agreement.

        7.5.    Limitation on Recourse.    No Parent Related Party (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, Parent and Merger Sub) shall have any liability for any liabilities of Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement or for any Proceeding based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions (including the breach, termination or failure to consummate such Transactions), and except for any Proceeding arising under or related to any Support Agreement, no former, current or future direct or indirect equityholder, general or limited partner, controlling Person, shareholder, member, manager, director, officer, incorporator, employee, agent, affiliate, portfolio company, assignee, advisor, attorney, consultant, Representative, principal or financing source of the Company or any affiliate of the Company shall have any rights or claims against a Parent Related Party under this Agreement, or for any Proceeding based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable Proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Laws or otherwise and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a party or another Person or otherwise.

        7.6.    Amendment.    This Agreement may be amended by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub by action taken by or on behalf of their respective boards of directors or other duly appointed governing authority at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, no amendment may be made which, by Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange, requires further approval by the Company's stockholders without such approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

        7.7.    Waiver.    At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any breach of the representations and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance by the other with any of the agreements or covenants contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
