(c) each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into and become one fully paid, nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.04 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”); provided, however, that any references herein to “Certificates” are deemed to include references to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock. Prior to or concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Payment Agent the aggregate per share Merger Consideration (the “Payment Fund”). To the extent such fund diminishes for any reason below the level required to make prompt payment of the Merger Consideration, Parent shall promptly replace or restore, or cause to be replaced or restored, the lost portion of such fund so as to ensure that it is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Payment Agent as directed by Parent; provided that (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall relieve Parent from making the payments required by this Article 2 or affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable hereunder, and following any losses Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Payment Agent in the amount of any such losses, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days, or guaranteed by, and backed by the full faith and credit of, the United States. Any and all interest or other amounts earned with respect to such funds shall become part of the Payment Fund. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Payment Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Company Common Stock and the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock.

14

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Payment Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.03(a) a letter of transmittal and instructions in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery or transfer of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.04(e)) to the Payment Agent for use in such exchange). Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate, as promptly as reasonably practicable, upon (i) surrender to the Payment Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of shares of Company Common Stock, and, in each case, delivery to the Payment Agent of such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Payment Agent. Until so surrendered or transferred, each such Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender or transfer of such Certificate.

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

(d) All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(e) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the holder’s compliance with the replacement requirements established by the Payment Agent, including, if necessary, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such customary amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Payment Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated under this Article 2.

15

(f) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.04 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration.

Section 2.05 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.03, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing, who is entitled to appraisal and who has properly exercised appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment of the appraised value of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, following which such shares shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal, pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.03(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to participate in, direct and control all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

Section 2.06 Company Equity Awards.

(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each In-the-Money Company Stock Option, whether or not vested and exercisable, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option, by (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (such product, the “Option Payments”). From and after the Effective Time, the holder of any canceled In-the-Money Company Stock Option shall be entitled to receive only the Option Payment in respect of such canceled In-the-Money Company Stock Option. Prior to the Effective Time, to the extent such amounts are not otherwise expected to be paid out of cash-on-hand of the Company, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Option Payments to an account identified by the Company prior to the Effective Time. The Option Payments described in this Section 2.06(a) shall be made by the Surviving

16

Corporation as promptly as practicable, and in any event no later than the first regular payroll date that is at least five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, without interest. All payments provided pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall be made through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll and/or equity award maintenance systems, subject to withholding in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.08. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Out-of-the-Money Company Stock Option shall be automatically canceled without payment of any consideration.

(b) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each outstanding Company RSU Award, whether or not vested, shall be canceled and extinguished and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such Company RSU Award shall have the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Merger Consideration by (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (such product, the “RSU Payments”); provided, however, that with respect to any Company RSU Award that includes performance-based vesting conditions, the holder thereof shall be entitled to RSU Payments only to the extent the Company RSU Award becomes vested in accordance with its terms at or prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holder of any canceled Company RSU Award shall be entitled to receive only the RSU Payment in respect of such canceled Company RSU Award. Prior to the Effective Time, to the extent such amounts are not otherwise expected to be paid out of cash-on-hand of the Company, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, funds sufficient to pay the aggregate RSU Payments to an account identified by the Company prior to the Effective Time. The RSU Payments described in this Section 2.06(b) shall be made by the Surviving Corporation as promptly as practicable, and in any event no later than the first regular payroll date that is at least five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, without interest; provided that such payment shall be made at such other time or times following the Effective Time consistent with the terms of the Company RSU Award to the extent necessary to preserve the income tax treatment of such Company RSU Award. All payments provided pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be made through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll and/or equity award maintenance systems, subject to withholding in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.08. For the avoidance of doubt, any Company RSU Award (or portion thereof) that is forfeited in accordance with its terms because the applicable performance condition is not satisfied at or prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled as of the Effective Time without payment of any consideration.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof and in any event prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions and take all other actions that are necessary for the treatment of the Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Section 2.06.

Section 2.07 Adjustments. If, during the period between the date hereof and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.07 shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

17

Section 2.08 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Payment Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any applicable Tax law or under any agreement between the Company and the Person entitled to such payment. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and are paid to the applicable Taxing Authority by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding. Prior to Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent, as applicable, making any deduction or withholding determined to be required under applicable Tax law (other than any such deduction or withholding required in respect of compensatory payments), the parties hereto shall cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding to the extent permitted under Applicable Law (including through the request and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding).

None of Parent, Guarantor, Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates has entered into any Contract with any Person prohibiting or seeking to prohibit such Person from providing or seeking to provide debt financing to any Person in connection with a transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger.

(ii) the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall expressly direct the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, immediately cease and terminate any existing discussions or negotiations with any Third Party theretofore conducted by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, and promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall request that all non-public information previously provided by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any such Third Party be returned or destroyed in accordance with the applicable confidentiality agreement in place with such third party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval, (i) the Company receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a Third Party, (ii) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 6.02 and (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with a Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, then the Company may (A) furnish information and data with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal and afford such Third Party access to the businesses, properties, assets and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (B) enter into, maintain and participate in discussions or negotiations with the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal or otherwise cooperate with or assist or

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company and its Representatives may direct any Persons making inquiry regarding a potential Acquisition Proposal to this Agreement, including the specific provisions of this Section 6.02.

(c) The Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent in writing of the Company’s or any of its Representatives’ receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, which notification shall include a copy of the applicable written Acquisition Proposal (or, if oral, the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal) and the identity of the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal.

(d) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and the Effective Time, the Company will be required to enforce, and will not be permitted to waive, terminate, amend or otherwise modify, any provision of any standstill or similar provision that prohibits or purports to prohibit a proposal being made to the Company Board; provided, that the Company shall be permitted to waive, terminate, amend or otherwise modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any such confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel), that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(e) The Company agrees that any breach of this Section 6.02 by any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives will be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company.

(b)

(i) Notwithstanding Section 6.03(a), at any time prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may, if it determines in good faith (after consultation with a Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel), that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (A) make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to either (1) a Superior Proposal or (2) any material fact, event, change, development or circumstance not known by the Company Board as of the date hereof (or, if known, the consequences of which were not known nor reasonably foreseeable) and not relating to any Acquisition Proposal (such fact, event, change, development, circumstance or consequences thereof, an “Intervening Event”) and/or (B) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) and authorize the Company to enter into a definitive agreement concerning a transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal (which agreement shall be entered into promptly following such termination), subject in each case to compliance with the terms of paragraph (ii) or (iii) below, as applicable. The Company shall not be entitled to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.03(b)(i) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) if it received an Acquisition Proposal attributable to, as a result of, or in connection with its breach of Section 6.02 or Section 6.03 of this Agreement.

(ii) In the case of a Superior Proposal, (x) no Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.03(b) may be made and (y) no termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) may be made:

(A) until after the fifth (5^th) Business Day following written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) and specifying the reasons therefor, including the terms and conditions of, and the identity of the Third Party making, such Superior Proposal, and a copy of any relevant transaction documents (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal, which shall require a new notice period of three (3) Business Days, and compliance with this Section 6.03(b) with respect to such new notice);

(B) unless during such five (5) Business Day period (or three (3) Business Day period following an amended proposal), the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, to the extent requested by Parent, make itself available to negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable the Company Board to maintain the Company Recommendation and not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement;

48

(C) unless, prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period (or three (3) Business Day period following an amended proposal), Parent does not make a written proposal to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with a Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel) to be at least as favorable to the Company’s stockholders as the Superior Proposal from a financial point of view; and

(D) unless, following the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, (or three (3) Business Day period following an amended proposal), the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with a Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel), taking into consideration any amendments to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to the Superior Proposal and/or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(iii) In the case of an Intervening Event, no Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.03(b) may be made:

(A) until after the fifth (5^th) Business Day following written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the material facts underlying the determination by the Company Board or a committee thereof that an Intervening Event has occurred, and the reason for the Adverse Recommendation Change, in reasonable detail (a “Notice of Intervening Event”);

(B) unless during such five (5) Business Day period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, to the extent requested by Parent, make itself available to negotiate with Parent in good faith to enable Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for an Adverse Recommendation Change; and

(C) unless, prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board determines in good faith, taking into consideration any amendments to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent (after consultation with a Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel), that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(c) Nothing contained in Section 6.02 or this Section 6.03 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law or any disclosure requirements under

49

Applicable Law, or (iii) making any disclosure that constitutes a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, which actions shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, that, solely with respect to (i) and (ii), any such action taken, statement made or disclosure that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action; and provided further, that, a customary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board or any committee thereof pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change.

Section 6.04 Approval of Merger Agreement.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall establish a record date (and commence a broker search pursuant to Section 14a-13 of the Exchange Act in connection therewith) for a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders (including any adjournment and postponement thereof, the “Stockholder Meeting”) for the purpose of considering and taking action upon the matters requiring Stockholder Approval and, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing of the definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC, the Company shall, in accordance with Applicable Law and the Company’s governing documents, call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholder Meeting (with the record date and meeting date set in consultation with Parent); provided that the Stockholder Meeting shall be scheduled for a date that is not later than thirty (30) Business Days following the date on which the definitive version of the Proxy Statement is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the Company may postpone or adjourn the Stockholder Meeting only (x) with the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or (y) otherwise on not more than two (2) occasions (i) for the absence of a quorum, (ii) after consultation with Parent, to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Stockholder Meeting, (iii) to allow additional time for the solicitation of votes, if necessary, in order to obtain the Stockholder Approval, or (iv) if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (after consultation with outside legal counsel), the failure to adjourn or postpone the Stockholder Meeting would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided, further, that, without the prior written consent of Parent, the Stockholder Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned to a date that is more than ten (10) Business Days after the date for which the Stockholder Meeting was originally scheduled. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders, (B) solicit from stockholders of the Company proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, and (C) take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock required by Applicable Law to effect the Merger. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, (i) the adoption of this Agreement, (ii) the stockholder advisory vote contemplated by Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act, (iii) adjournment of the Stockholder Meeting, and (iv) other matters as required by Applicable Law shall be the only matters which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the holders of Company Common Stock at the Stockholder Meeting. The Company shall provide updates to Parent with respect to the proxy solicitation for the Stockholder Meeting (including interim results) as reasonably requested by Parent.

50

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event no later than December 20, 2024, the Company shall prepare a proxy statement in preliminary form for the Stockholder Meeting (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto and any other required proxy materials, the “Proxy Statement”) and file it with the SEC and the Company, Guarantor and Parent shall cooperate with each other in connection with the preparation of the foregoing, including to cause their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to cooperate with the preparation of the foregoing. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC or its staff concerning the Proxy Statement. The Company shall cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be filed with the SEC and mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after the preliminary Proxy Statement has been filed with the SEC pursuant to this Section 6.04(b) and either the SEC has indicated that it does not intend to review such Proxy Statement or the SEC has indicated that its review of such Proxy Statement has been completed and, accordingly, the SEC staff advises that it has no further comments to such Proxy Statement. The Company shall notify the other parties hereto promptly upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any other government officials and of any request by the SEC or its staff or any other government officials for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall supply the others with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, or its staff or any other government officials, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent, Guarantor and Merger Sub shall cooperate, and shall cause their Affiliates and advisors to cooperate, with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement, including promptly furnishing to the Company in writing upon request any and all information relating to Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates as may be required, or otherwise reasonably requested by the Company, to be set forth in the Proxy Statement under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated above, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall (i) provide Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and shall consider Parent’s comments (including any reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent or its counsel) in good faith and (ii) obtain Parent’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with respect to any statements contained therein that reference Parent or its Affiliates.

(c) Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company further agrees that all documents that such party is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the Merger (i) will not, on the date it is first filed with the SEC, on the date it is first mailed to stockholders of the Company and at the time of the Stockholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading and (ii) will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company on the one hand, and Parent, Guarantor and Merger Sub on the other hand, each assumes no responsibility with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of, respectively, Parent or Merger Sub or their Affiliates, or the Company or its Affiliates, for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement. Parent shall ensure that such information supplied by it and its Affiliates for inclusion in the Proxy Statement will not, on the date it is first

51

filed with the SEC, on the date it is first mailed to stockholders of the Company and at the time of the Stockholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Section 6.05 Access to Information. Subject to Applicable Law, upon reasonable notice, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford Parent’s officers and Parent’s other authorized Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its books, Contracts and records, to the extent customary and appropriate for the purpose of planning for integration and consummation of the Merger. The foregoing shall not require the Company (a) to provide access to or otherwise make available or furnish any information if and to the extent that the provision of such information would in the good faith judgment of the Company based on advice of counsel jeopardize any attorney-client, work product or other legal privilege or protection (it being agreed that, in the case of clause (a), the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents and thereafter the Company and Parent shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to waive the applicable privilege or protection), (b) to provide access to or otherwise make available or furnish any information relating to the process conducted by the Company that led to the execution of this Agreement (except to the extent required by Section 6.02), or (c) to provide access to or otherwise make available or furnish any information if and to the extent that the provision of such information could in the judgment of the Company based on advice of counsel violate any Applicable Law (it being agreed that, in the case of clause (c), the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents and thereafter the Company and Parent shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner and to the extent that is compliant with the relevant Applicable Law). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent, Guarantor and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives not to, contact any employee of the Company not involved in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any customer, technology or other partner, vendor or supplier of the Company in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that Parent may (i) contact such parties in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice regarding matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) perform market due diligence on a no-names basis without use of or reference to any Evaluation Information or Transaction Information (each as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement), and Parent, Guarantor and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that any such contact shall be arranged and supervised by Representatives of the Company. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall be directed to the Chief Legal Officer or other Person designated by the Company. All such information shall be deemed Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) under and be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

52

Section 6.06 Notice of Certain Events. Each of the Company and Parent will give prompt notice to the other (and will subsequently keep the other informed on a reasonably current basis of any material developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event or circumstance that (a) with respect to the Company, has had or would reasonably be expected have a Company Material Adverse Effect, (b) with respect to Parent or Merger Sub, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect and/or (c) is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article 7 not being able to be satisfied prior to the End Date. No notification given by any party pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or conditions contained in this Agreement.

Section 6.07 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of not less than twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time who continues employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or any Subsidiary of Parent or the Surviving Corporation following the Closing Date (each a “Continuing Employee”) with (i) an aggregate base salary or base hourly rate, as applicable, and target cash incentive compensation opportunity (including bonuses and commissions) that is no less than was provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that, during such 12-month period, in no event shall the base salary or base hourly rate, as applicable, for any Continuing Employee be reduced by more than 10% and (ii) employee benefits (including health and welfare and defined contribution retirement plans, but excluding equity incentive compensation, change in control, transaction, retention and similar non-recurring compensation) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to each such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) severance benefits equal to the benefits provided under any agreement or arrangement set forth in Section 6.07(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, ensure that each Continuing Employee receives full credit for eligibility to participate, vesting, and, with respect to vacation entitlement and severance benefits only, level of benefits for service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (or predecessor employers to the extent the Company provides such past service credit) under the comparable employee benefit plans, programs, and policies of the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, in which such employees become participants; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to (i) benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or retiree welfare plan or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits or (ii) equity or equity-based incentives or benefits in place before the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, credit to Continuing Employees the amount of vacation time that such employees had accrued under any applicable Company Employee Plan as of the Effective Time, which shall be subject to accrual limits and forfeiture conditions comparable to those applicable at the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, with respect to each benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA (each, a “Parent Welfare Plan”) in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Parent Welfare Plan to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations, and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage

53

requirements applicable under such Parent Welfare Plan for such Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations, and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding Company Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee was a participant immediately prior to such Continuing Employee’s commencement of participation in such Parent Welfare Plan; and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee and their eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the calendar year that, and prior to the date that, such Continuing Employee commences participation in such Parent Welfare Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment, deductible or out-of-pocket maximum requirements under such Parent Welfare Plan for the applicable calendar year, to the extent that such expenses were recognized for such purposes under the comparable Company Employee Plan.

(d) From and after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with its terms, each Company Employee Plan set forth on Section 6.07(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Parent acknowledges that the transaction contemplated hereby shall constitute a “change in control”, “change of control”, and/or “sale event” (or a term of similar import) for purposes of each Company Employee Plan set forth on Section 4.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule that uses such term (or a term of similar import).

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.07 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 6.07 shall create such rights in any such individuals. Nothing in this Section 6.07 shall be deemed to: (i) guarantee employment for any period of time or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee; (ii) amend any Parent Welfare Plan or other employee benefit plan or arrangement; or (iii) require Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their Affiliates to continue or amend any particular benefit plan before or after the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and Applicable Law.

Section 6.08 State Takeover Laws. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Applicable Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective boards of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions within their respective authority as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Applicable Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 6.09 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall execute and deliver to Merger Sub and the Company a written consent adopting this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL.

54

Section 6.10 Director and Officer Liability.

(a) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance in respect of acts, errors or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s and the Company’s Subsidiaries’ officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.10(a), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year prior to the date hereof (the “Current Premium”) and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed 300% of the Current Premium, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in the Surviving Corporation’s good faith judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 300% of the Current Premium. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies have been obtained by the Company (and the Company may obtain, and at Parent’s request shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, such prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies) prior to the Effective Time, after reasonable consultation with Parent, which policies provide such persons currently covered by such policies with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts, errors or omissions that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall: (i) indemnify (including advancement of expenses) and hold harmless each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each an “Indemnified Party”) for any and all costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel, which shall be advanced as they are incurred), judgments, fines, penalties or liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or other Proceeding (whether civil or criminal) in which such Indemnified Party may be involved or with which he or she may be threatened (regardless of whether as a named party or as a participant other than as a named party, including as a witness) (an “Indemnified Party Proceeding”) (A) by reason of such Indemnified Party’s being or having been such director or officer or an employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or otherwise in connection with any action taken or not taken at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or (B) arising out of such Indemnified Party’s service in connection with any other corporation or organization for which he or she serves or has served as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary at the request of the Company (including in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan), in each of (A) or (B), whether or not the Indemnified Party continues in such position at the time such Indemnified Party Proceeding is brought or threatened and at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Indemnified Party Proceeding relating in whole or in part to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party), to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law; and (ii) fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to: (x) each indemnification agreement set forth on Section 6.10(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule in effect as of the date hereof between the Company and any Indemnified Party; and (y) any indemnification provision

55

(including advancement of expenses) and any exculpation provision set forth in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, that may be incurred by Indemnified Parties in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided under this Section 6.10. The Surviving Corporation’s obligations under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses in respect of any claim asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such claim.

(c) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) cause the organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable to those subject to those provisions as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the organizational documents of the Company as of the date hereof.

(d) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

The provisions of this Section 6.10 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her Representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under any certificate of incorporation or by-laws, by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.10 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party unless (x) such termination or modification is required by Applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10).

Section 6.11 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company, Guarantor and Parent shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain all necessary actions or non-actions, clearances, authorizations, waivers, consents, approvals, and waiting period expirations or terminations from Governmental Authorities and make all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any) and take all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval, clearance, authorization, consent or waiver from, or to avoid a Proceeding by, any Governmental Authorities in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) deliver required notices to, and obtain required consents or waivers from, Third Parties (provided that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment or commercial concession to any Third Party, or incur any liability, as a condition to (or in connection with) obtaining any such consent or waiver, unless such payment, concession or liability is requested by Parent and is conditioned and effective only upon the Closing), and (iii) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

56

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Company, Guarantor and Parent (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable) shall: (i) promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, make or cause to be made all required filings under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly secure the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act; (ii) promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, make or cause to be made all required filings under the United Kingdom National Security and Investment Act 2021 with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) promptly make all filings, and use reasonable best efforts to timely obtain all consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances and approvals, and to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods, as may be required under any other applicable Antitrust Laws (to the extent required); (iv) as promptly as reasonably practicable provide information as may reasonably be requested by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) under the HSR Act or by any other Governmental Authority under applicable Antitrust Laws in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any information required to be submitted to comply with a request for additional information in order to commence or end a statutory waiting period; and (v) use reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken, on a timely basis, all other actions necessary or appropriate for the purpose of consummating and effectuating the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent and Guarantor shall pay all filing fees under the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws, and the Company shall not be required to pay any fees or other payments to any Governmental Authority in connection with any filings under the HSR Act or such other filings as may be required under applicable Antitrust Laws, in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but without limiting Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations set forth in this Section 6.11, Parent shall, on behalf of the parties, control and direct all communications and strategy in dealing with any Governmental Authority under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws; provided that Parent shall consider in good faith the views and comments of the Company and its outside counsel with respect to such communications and strategies.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.11, each party hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to: (i) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry or Proceeding by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) keep the other parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry or Proceeding; (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Authority to the extent regarding the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or regarding any such request, inquiry or Proceeding, and provide a copy of all written communications; (iv) pull and re-file any notice under the HSR Act at Parent’s reasonable request; and (v) otherwise cooperate with the other parties in connection with any filing and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any Governmental

57

Authority. Subject to Applicable Law, in advance and to the extent practicable, each of Parent or the Company, as the case may be, will consult the other on all the information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall incorporate all comments reasonably proposed by Parent or the Company, as the case may be; provided, however, that if any of the information is deemed competitively sensitive by the providing party, such information shall be provided solely to those individuals acting as outside antitrust counsel for the other parties (provided that such counsel shall not disclose such information to such other parties and shall enter into a joint defense agreement with the providing party); provided, further, that competitively sensitive materials provided to the other party may be redacted to remove references concerning the competitively sensitive information. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Authority or by any Applicable Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry or Proceeding in respect of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party hereto will permit authorized Representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry or Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with such request, inquiry or Proceeding.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent and Guarantor agree to use their reasonable best efforts to take promptly any and all steps necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain all clearances, consents, approvals and waivers under Antitrust Laws that may be required by any Governmental Authority, so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the End Date), including (i) committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, transfer, assignment or other disposition of assets or businesses of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (ii) terminating, relinquishing, modifying, transferring, assigning, restructuring, or waiving existing agreements, licenses, collaborations, relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of the Company or its Subsidiaries and (iii) creating or consenting to create or enter into any agreements, licenses, collaborations, relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations, behavioral undertakings or other arrangements (and, in each case, to enter, or offer to enter, into agreements and stipulate to the entry of an Order or file appropriate applications with any Governmental Authority in connection with any of the foregoing and in the case of actions by or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or its or their businesses or assets); (each action contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) a “Divestiture Action”) as may be necessary or required, to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any Order that would otherwise have the effect of preventing consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to ensure that no Governmental Authority with the authority to clear, authorize or otherwise approve consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, fails to do so as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the End Date; provided, however, that (A) the Company shall not offer to commit, take or effect, or otherwise commit, take or effect, any Divestiture Action without the prior written consent of Parent, (B) any Divestiture Action shall be conditioned upon consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this

58

Agreement, and (C) Parent shall not be required to take any Divestiture Action that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Parent, Guarantor and the Company shall cooperate in any proposal, negotiation, or offer to commit and to effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, any and all Divestiture Actions or otherwise to offer to take or offer to commit (and if such offer is accepted, commit to and effect) to take any Divestiture Action as may be required to resolve any Governmental Authority’s objections to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) In the event that any Proceeding is commenced challenging the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Company, Parent, Guarantor and Merger Sub shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest any such Proceeding and 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 prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) None of Parent, Guarantor or Merger Sub shall acquire or agree to acquire (by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner) any business, Person or division thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, collaboration or otherwise), if such acquisition would reasonably be expected to (x) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or otherwise materially increase the risk of not obtaining any applicable clearance, consent, approval or waiver under Antitrust Laws with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (y) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an Order prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (z) materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.12 Transaction Litigation. The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of learning of any Transaction Litigation) notify Parent in writing of, and shall give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense and settlement of, any Transaction Litigation. For purposes of this Section 6.12, “participate” means that the Company shall keep Parent apprised of the proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to any Transaction Litigation, and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Transaction Litigation which the Company shall consider in good faith. The Company shall not offer or enter into a settlement with respect to any Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Without otherwise limiting the Indemnified Parties’ rights with regard to the right to counsel, following the Effective Time, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to continue to retain Goodwin Procter LLP or such other counsel selected by such Indemnified Parties prior to the Effective Time to defend any Transaction Litigation.

59

The initial press release relating to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release issued by the Company and Parent, and the Company shall file one or more current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC attaching the announcement press release and a copy of this Agreement as exhibits. The Company will provide Parent and Guarantor with a draft of such Form 8-K and attachments for Parent’s and Guarantor’s review prior to such filing, and shall consider in good faith any comments provided by Parent and Guarantor. Thereafter Parent, Guarantor and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any other public announcements, or scheduling a press conference or conference call with investors or analysts, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such other public announcement without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as such release or announcement may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement under which or rule of any national securities exchange or association upon which the securities of the Company are listed, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time (taking into account the circumstances) to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.13 shall not apply to (A) issuing any press release or making any other public statement containing factual statements (x) with respect to an Adverse Recommendation Change effected by the Company in accordance with Section 6.03 (including any press release or other public statement containing factual statements made or proposed to be made by Parent or Guarantor in response thereto) or (y) as otherwise permitted under Section 6.03, including with respect to the Company’s receipt and consideration of any Acquisition Proposal, Superior Proposal or “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, (B) the Company disseminating any communications principally directed to employees, customers, technology or other partners or vendors so long as such communications are consistent with this Agreement or previous releases, public disclosures, public statements or other communications made by the parties not in violation of this Section 6.13 or (C) issuing any press release or making any public statement containing factual statements in connection with any Proceeding between the parties regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto or their respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except for the provisions of Article 2 concerning payment of the Aggregate Merger Consideration after the Effective Time, Section 6.10 and Section 8.02, which provisions shall inure to the benefit of the Persons or entities benefiting therefrom who shall be third-party beneficiaries thereof and who may enforce the covenants contained therein.

Section 9.09 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties hereto agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such harm. The parties hereto agree that unless and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.01 and any dispute over the right to termination has been finally resolved, (i) the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions from a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 9.07 to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any remedy to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 9.04, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and without that right, none of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other of such parties has an adequate remedy at law.

(b) The parties hereto further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 9.09, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement (including monetary damages) for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 9.09 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 9.09 shall require any party hereto to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 9.09 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 8 (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.09 or anything set forth in this Section 9.09 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 8 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available at any time.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.09 nor Section 9.04 shall limit in any way the remedies of the parties under the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 9.10 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner, in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Parent shall cause Merger Sub to comply in all respects with each of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and undertakings made or required to be performed by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

As applicable, references in this Section 9.11 to “Merger Sub” shall also include the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time.

Section 9.12 Entire Agreement; No Reliance; Access to Information.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any otherwise express representations and warranties made by the parties in this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub agrees that none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make or has made any representation or warranty with respect to (i) any projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets or future revenues, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows (or any component thereof) or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the future business, operations or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to it, or (ii) any other information, statements or documents heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to it, including the information in the electronic data room of the Company, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the business, operations or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent and as expressly covered by a representation and warranty made in Article 4 of this Agreement.

Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to develop estimates, projections, forecasts, business plans and other forward-looking information with which Parent and Merger Sub are familiar, that Parent and Merger Sub are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, business plans and other forward-looking information furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, business plans and other forward-looking information), and, for the avoidance of doubt, that Parent and Merger Sub will have no claim against the Company or any of its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, advisors, agents or other Representatives with respect thereto.

Section 9.15 Guaranty.

(a) Guarantor, in order to induce the Company to execute and deliver this Agreement, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as principal and not merely as surety (the “Guaranty”), to the Company, the Surviving Corporation and their successors and assigns, with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and other obligation of Parent and Merger Sub, including the due, punctual and full payment and performance of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s (including their permitted designees’ and assigns’) obligations hereunder when due (and including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any breach of any of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s representations, warranties or covenants herein) (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), subject to any and all limitations on Parent’s and Merger Sub’s covenants, agreements and other obligations hereunder. Any breach or nonperformance of any such obligations of Parent or Merger Sub (or any of their successors or assigns) shall also be deemed to be a default of Guarantor. So long as this Section 9.15 is in effect, Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of its performance of the Guaranty (subject to any and all limitations on Parent’s and Merger Sub’s covenants, agreements and other obligations hereunder), whether by subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or otherwise, against the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their successors and assigns or any express intended third party beneficiary described in Section 9.05 of any Guaranteed Obligations, or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor.

(b) This Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and performance, and not of collection, and Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty is full and unconditional, and no release or extinguishment of Parent’s and/or Merger Sub’s and/or their respective designees’ or assigns’ obligations hereunder (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), whether by decree in any bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, will affect the continuing validity and enforceability of this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby waives (i) any right to require the Company, as a condition of payment or performance by Guarantor of any obligations of Parent or Merger Sub hereunder, to proceed against Parent or Merger Sub or pursue any other remedy whatsoever in the event that Parent or Merger Sub fails to perform its obligations hereunder or that any other action be taken or not taken as a condition to Guarantor’s liability for the Guaranteed Obligations or as a condition to the enforcement of this Agreement or the Guaranteed Obligations against Guarantor, and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties. If and whenever Parent or Merger Sub defaults for any reason whatsoever in the performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall, subject to any and all limitations on Parent’s and Merger Sub’s covenants, agreements and other obligations hereunder, as soon as reasonably practicable following demand, unconditionally perform (or procure the performance of) and satisfy (or procure the satisfaction of) the Guaranteed Obligations in regard to which such default has been made in the manner prescribed by this Agreement and so that the same benefits are conferred on the Company, the Surviving Corporation, their successors and assigns and any third party beneficiary as such person would have received if the Guaranteed Obligations had been duly performed and satisfied by Parent and Merger Sub.

72

(c) Guarantor represents and warrants to the Company that (i) Guarantor is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing pursuant to the Applicable Laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation, and has all requisite corporate power and authority necessary to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty have been approved by all requisite corporate action and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, (iii) no other action on the part of Guarantor or any holder of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interest in, Guarantor is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty, and (iv) Guarantor will have as of the Closing available funds sufficient to perform its obligations under this Section 9.15. Except for the representations and warranties of Guarantor expressly set forth in this Section 9.15(c) and of Parent and Merger Sub expressly set forth in Article 5, or in a certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, none of Guarantor, Parent, Merger Sub or any other person on behalf of Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Guarantor, Parent, Merger Sub or with respect to any other information provided to the Company or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Without limiting in any way the foregoing Guaranty, but subject in all respects to any and all limitations on Parent’s and Merger Sub’s covenants, agreements and other obligations hereunder, Guarantor agrees to cause, and to take all actions to enable, Parent and Merger Sub to adhere to each provision of the Agreement which requires an act or omission on the part of Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates to cause or enable Parent and Merger Sub to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement.

(e) This Guaranty is to be a continuing guaranty and accordingly is to remain in force until all Guaranteed Obligations have been performed or satisfied. This Guaranty is in addition to and without prejudice to and not in substitution for any rights that the Company, the Surviving Corporation, their successors and assigns and any express intended third-party beneficiary may now or in future have or hold for the performance and observance of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Obligations shall be discharged as a result of (i) indefeasible payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) those defenses to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations that Parent or Merger Sub has under the specific terms of this Agreement.

(f) As a separate and independent stipulation, Guarantor acknowledges, confirms and agrees that any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any monies payable) that is or becomes unenforceable against, or not capable of recovery from, Parent or Merger Sub by reason of any legal limitation, disability or incapacity on or of Parent or Merger Sub or any other fact or circumstances (other than any limitation imposed by this Agreement) shall nevertheless be enforceable against and recoverable from Guarantor as though the same had been incurred by Guarantor and Guarantor was the sole or principal obligor in respect of that Guaranteed Obligation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Guarantor hereby waives: (A) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and of the creation or existence of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and of any action by the Company in reliance hereon or in connection herewith; and (B) presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, protest and notice of protest with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; and (ii) the liability of Guarantor under this Agreement and the Guaranty shall be irrevocable and enforceable irrespective of (subject to any and all limitations on Parent’s and Merger Sub’s covenants, agreements and other obligations hereunder):

73

(A) any change in the time, manner, terms, place of payment, or in any other term of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other document executed in connection therewith; (B) any release, amendment, waiver, or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (C) failure, omission, delay, waiver, or refusal by the Company, the Surviving Corporation, their successors and assigns and any third-party beneficiary to exercise, in whole or in part, any right or remedy held by such person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations unless and to the extent Guarantor is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure, omission, delay, waiver, or refusal; and (D) any change in the existence, structure, or ownership of Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) no recourse hereunder may be had against any Representatives, stockholders or affiliates (other than Parent) of Guarantor, or any of their respective direct or indirect Representatives, stockholders or affiliates (other than Parent), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil or otherwise, by the enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable Proceeding, by virtue of any Applicable Law, or otherwise, and (ii) no personal liability whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Representatives, stockholders or affiliates (other than Parent) of Guarantor, or any of their respective direct or indirect Representatives, stockholders or affiliates (other than Parent), under this Section 9.15 or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Guarantor is agreeing to enter into this Section 9.15 in reliance on the provisions set forth in this Section 9.15(g) and that this Section 9.15(g) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the potential liability of Guarantor in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby exceed that of Parent or Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement or the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(h) The provisions of Section 9.01, Section 9.02, Section 9.03, Section 9.04, Section 9.05, Section 9.06, Section 9.07, Section 9.08, Section 9.09, Section 9.10, Section 9.12, Section 9.13 and Section 9.14 of this Agreement will be deemed to be applicable to this Section 9.15, and for the purposes of such Sections, Guarantor shall be considered a “Party”.

The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such advancement of Expenses under this Article IX shall not be a defense to an action brought by a Director for recovery of the unpaid amount of an advancement claim and shall not create a presumption that such advancement is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director is not entitled to an advancement of expenses shall be on the Corporation.

(c) In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Director has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

The rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX shall continue notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributes of such person.

(b) If a claim for indemnification hereunder by a Director or Officer is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Corporation of a written claim for indemnification, such Director or Officer may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, such Director or Officer shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such indemnification under this Article IX shall not be a defense to an action brought by a Director or Officer for recovery of the unpaid amount of an indemnification claim and shall not create a presumption that such indemnification is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director or Officer is not entitled to indemnification shall be on the Corporation.

(c) In any suit brought by a Director or Officer to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder, it shall be a defense that such Director or Officer has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

Section 8. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to advancement of Expenses set forth in this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Director, Officer, or Non-Officer Employee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.

-14-

Section 9. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee against any liability of any character asserted against or incurred by the Corporation or any such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee, or arising out of any such person’s Corporate Status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL or the provisions of this Article IX.

Section 10. Other Indemnification. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or provide advancement of Expenses to any person under this Article IX as a result of such person serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or enterprise (the “Primary Indemnitor”). Any indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Article IX owed by the Corporation as a result of a person serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall only be in excess of, and shall be secondary to, the indemnification or advancement of Expenses available from the applicable Primary Indemnitor(s) and any applicable insurance policies.

ARTICLE X.

AMENDMENTS.

The Board of Directors shall have the power to make, rescind, alter, amend and repeal these By-laws, provided, however, that the stockholders shall have power to rescind, alter, amend or repeal any By-laws made by the Board of Directors, and to enact By-laws which if so expressed shall not be rescinded, altered, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the expected date of closing of the proposed transaction and the potential benefits thereof, its business and industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and Guarantor all of which are subject to change. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “may,” “would,”

“might,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and are not guarantees of future results, such as statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements, including the failure to consummate the proposed transaction or to make or take any filing or other action required to consummate the proposed transaction on a timely matter or at all, are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) the ability of the parties to consummate the proposed transaction in the anticipated time period or at all; (ii) the satisfaction (or waiver) of closing conditions to the consummation of the proposed transaction, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals and the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders; (iii) potential delays in consummation of the proposed transaction; (iv) risks associated with the disruption of management’s attention from ongoing business operations due to the pendency and announcement of the proposed transaction; (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; (vi) the Company’s ability to implement its business strategy; (vii) significant transaction costs associated with the proposed transaction; (viii) the risk that Company’s stock price may decline significantly if the proposed transaction is not consummated; (ix) the nature, cost and outcome of any potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction; (x) the risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction will harm the Company’s business, including current plans and operations; (xi) the effects of the proposed transaction on relationships with employees, other business partners or governmental entities; (xii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; (xiii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting the Company’s business; (xiv) general economic and market developments and conditions; (xv) the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which the Company operates; (xvi) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the merger that could affect the Company’s financial performance; (xvii) restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact the Company’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; and (xviii) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as the Company’s response to any of the aforementioned factors. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transaction, will be more fully discussed in the Proxy Statement to be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. Additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements are included under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC and any subsequent reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K filed from time to time and available at

www.sec.gov. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the Proxy Statement will be, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. The forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof. The Company does not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
