(d)  Each Share held by any Subsidiary of either the Company or Parent (other than the Merger Sub) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into such number of shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation such that each such Subsidiary owns the same percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such Subsidiary owned in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e)  Each Rollover Share shall be unaffected by the Merger and shall, immediately prior to the Closing, be contributed to Bullseye Holdings, LP (to be contributed to Parent thereafter) pursuant to the terms of the applicable Rollover Agreement.

Section 2.03. Surrender and Payment. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent an amount in cash that, when taken together with available cash of the Company that Parent directs to be deposited with the Exchange Agent immediately following the Effective Time, is equal to the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time (but not later than three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of Shares at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions in customary form (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration payable for each such Share represented by such Certificate or for each such Uncertificated Share (less any applicable withholding). Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any such Shares.

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

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

(e)  Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a) (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged such Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.03(e). prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such Shares without any interest thereon and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by Applicable Law in accordance with this Section 2.03(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of Shares for any amount paid to any Governmental Authority pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.04. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.02, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with the DGCL shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL, unless such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL. For the avoidance of doubt, Merger Consideration for Shares subject to appraisal shall not accrue interest, except to the extent required by Applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted pursuant to Section 2.02(a) as of the Effective Time into, and shall represent only, the right to receive the Merger Consideration in

accordance with Error! Reference source not found.. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares and any withdrawals of any such demands, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct 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 settle or make an offer to settle, any such demands.

Section 2.05. Company Equity Awards.

(a)  Except as otherwise agreed to by Parent and the applicable holder thereof, with respect to each Company Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, (i) if the per Share exercise price of such Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Option shall terminate and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect and (ii) if the per Share exercise price for such Company Stock Option is less than the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Option shall become fully vested (to the extent unvested or to the extent such Company Stock Option would not otherwise vest) and shall terminate and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive, in accordance with this Section 2.05(a), an amount in cash, without interest, to be paid promptly following the Effective Time and in no event more than five (5) calendar days following the Effective Time, determined by multiplying (A) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price of such canceled Company Stock Option by (B) the number of Shares subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b)  Except as otherwise agreed to by Parent and the applicable holder thereof, at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company RSU shall fully vest and shall be canceled and converted into the right of the holder to receive an amount in cash, without interest, to be paid promptly following the Effective Time and in no event more than five (5)  calendar days following the Effective Time, equal to the product of (i) the Merger Consideration and (ii) the total number of Shares subject to such Company RSU.

(c)  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall adopt resolutions and take any and all such actions as are necessary to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05 such that from and after the Effective Time, neither Parent, the Company nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver Shares or other compensation of any kind (other than amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.05) to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of any Company Stock Options, Company RSUs or other equity awards under the Equity Plans and that the Equity Plans will terminate immediately prior to the Effective Time. At or immediately following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, funds sufficient to pay the aggregate amount payable to the holders of Company Stock Options and Company RSUs pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.05 to an account or accounts identified by the Company prior to the Effective Time. The payments with respect to any Company Stock Options and Company RSUs shall, except as may otherwise be required by Section 409A of the Code, be made by the

Surviving Corporation at, or within five (5) calendar days following, the Effective Time, without interest. All payments with respect to Company Stock Options and Company RSUs pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be made through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll and/or equity award maintenance systems, and subject to withholding if required under Applicable Law. In addition, prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary pursuant to the terms of the ESPP or otherwise to provide that (i) no new offering period will be commenced following the date hereof under the ESPP in effect as of the date hereof, (ii) any contributions accumulated under the ESPP pursuant to an offering period in effect as of the date hereof shall be used to purchase Shares on the earlier to occur of (x) the last day of the offering purchase period and (y) ten (10) calendar days prior to the Closing, and (iii) the ESPP shall terminate immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.06. Adjustments. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 6.01, if, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class (including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of Shares, or stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, but excluding any change that results from any exercise of options outstanding as of the date hereof to purchase Shares granted under the Company’s Stock Option or compensation plans or arrangements), the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 2.07. Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, under any Tax law or pursuant to any other Applicable Law. If the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, so deducts or withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.08. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

(a) Parent affirms that it is not a condition to the Closing or to any of its other obligations under this Agreement that Parent obtain financing for, or related to, any of the Transactions. As of the date hereof, Parent has delivered to the Company true, complete and fully executed copies of (i) a debt commitment letter (including all related exhibits, schedules, annexes, supplements and term sheets thereto, and including any related fee letter (subject, in either case, to redaction of all “market flex”, pricing terms, pricing caps and other commercially sensitive or economic terms; provided that Parent represents and warrants that the market flex and any other redacted provisions in such fee letter do not require the imposition of (or otherwise impose) any new conditions (or modification or expansion of any existing conditions) in the debt commitment letter or to the consummation of the Debt Financing), as each of the foregoing may be amended, supplemented, replaced, substituted, terminated or otherwise modified or waived from time to time after the date hereof in compliance with Section 8.09, the “Debt Commitment Letters”) from the Debt Financing Sources party thereto, confirming their respective commitments to provide, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereto, Parent with debt financing in connection with the Transactions in the amount set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters (the “Debt Financing”) and (ii) a commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter” and together with the Debt Commitment Letters, the “Financing Commitment Letters”) from the Sponsors confirming their commitment, subject to the terms and conditions therein, to provide Parent with equity financing in connection with the Transactions in the amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing” and together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”).

(b)  As of the date hereof, the Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding obligation of Parent and the other parties thereto, enforceable against Parent and the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity). As of the date hereof, each of the Debt Commitment Letters is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, enforceable against Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity). As of the date hereof, none of the Financing Commitment Letters have been amended or modified, and the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitment Letters have not been withdrawn, rescinded or otherwise modified, and, to the knowledge of Parent, no such amendment, modification, withdrawal or rescission of the Financing Commitment Letters is contemplated (other than amendments or modifications to the Debt Commitment Letters solely to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date hereof). As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of Parent, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of (x) Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person party thereto, as applicable, under the Equity Commitment Letter or (y) Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person party thereto, as applicable, under any of the Debt Commitment Letters. As of the date hereof, all fees (if any) required to be paid under the Financing Commitment Letters on or prior to the date hereof, have been paid in full.

As of the date hereof, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s obligation to consummate the Merger, Parent has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing will not be satisfied or that the full amount of the Financing will not be available in full to Parent on the Closing Date.

(d)  Assuming (i) the Financing is funded at the Closing in accordance with the Financing Commitment Letters and (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s obligation to consummate the Merger set forth in Article 9, the aggregate proceeds of the Financings will provide Parent and Merger Sub, with an amount sufficient for the

satisfaction of all Parent’s and Merger Sub’s payment obligations under this Agreement at Closing (such amount, the “Required Closing Payment”).

Section 5.08. Solvency.

(a)  Assuming (i) the satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s obligation to consummate the Merger, (ii) that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have complied with and satisfied in all material respects all of their respective covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement in all material respects, and (iv) that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are Solvent (defined below) immediately prior to Closing, then immediately after giving effect to the Transactions including the Financing, any alternative financing, the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration, any repayment or refinancing of debt contemplated in this Agreement or the Debt Commitment Letters and the payment of all related fees and expenses, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be Solvent as of the Effective Time and immediately after the consummation of the Transactions. For purposes of this Agreement, “Solvent” when used with respect to any Person, means that such Person (a) has property with fair value greater than the total amount of their debts and liabilities, contingent, subordinated or otherwise (it being understood that the amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability), (b) has assets with present fair salable value not less than the amount that will be required to pay their liability on their debts as they become absolute and matured, (c) will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as they become absolute and matured and (d) are not engaged in business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which they have unreasonably small capital.

(b)  Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates have any current intention to divest any material assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, materially reduce the number of employees or otherwise implement any material adverse changes to the operation of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries following Closing.

Section 5.09. No Prior Operations; Capitalization. Each of Parent and Merger Sub is a newly formed entity that was formed specifically in connection with the Transactions and, except as required in connection with the Transactions, has not conducted any operations, owned an interest in any assets (including any ownership interest in any other Person), incurred any liabilities of any nature or become party to any agreements other than the Transaction Documents. Sponsors are the direct or indirect beneficial owner of 100% of the outstanding ownership interests of Parent. Parent is the direct or indirect beneficial owner of 100% of the outstanding ownership interests of Merger Sub.

Section 5.10. Termination Equity Commitment Letter.

(a)  Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Sponsor has delivered to the Company a duly executed Termination Equity Commitment Letter with respect to certain matters, including providing certain equity contributions to Parent in connection with this Agreement and the performance by Parent of its obligations hereunder and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. Each Sponsor is a special limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Luxembourg and has all powers required to carry on its business as now conducted. The execution, delivery and performance by each Sponsor of the Termination Equity Commitment Letter, and the consummation of the Transactions are within the powers of Sponsor and have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Sponsor. As of the date of this Agreement, the Termination Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Sponsor and Parent, enforceable against Sponsor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default on the part of Sponsor under such Termination Equity Commitment Letter.

(b)  Each Sponsor has, and will continue to have at all times prior to the Closing, sufficient funds or assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, drawable commitments, lines of credit, or other sources of immediately available funds) to enable it to fund (i) its Equity Commitment (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) in full to Parent in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, without satisfaction of any conditions outside of its control and (ii) its respective Pro Rata Share (as defined in the Termination Equity Commitment Letter) of the Termination Commitment (as defined in the Termination Equity Commitment Letter) in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Termination Equity Commitment Letter, without satisfaction of any conditions outside of its control. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that the Company entered into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Transactions in reliance upon the execution of the Equity Commitment Letter and the Termination Equity Commitment Letter by the Sponsors and Parent.

Section 5.11. No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Article 4, each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, at law or in equity, is made or shall be deemed to have been made by or on behalf of the Company to Parent or Merger Sub. Each of Parent and Merger Sub also acknowledges and agrees that the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to any projections, forecasts or other estimates, plans or budgets of 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 Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives or Affiliates.

(the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to), upon reasonable advance notice, and except as may otherwise be required by Applicable Law, (i) provide Parent, its officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, lenders, accountants, consultants or other agents or advisors (“Representatives”) reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to the Representatives and offices, properties, books and records, work papers and other documents of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and (ii) during such period, furnish to Parent and its Representatives such existing information as such Persons may reasonably request within a reasonable time of such request, including copies of such existing information; provided that the foregoing shall not require the Company to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 6.02 to the extent that (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s legal counsel, any Applicable Law requires the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such information or disclosure thereof would expose the Company to unreasonable risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive personal information, (ii) the information is subject to confidentiality obligations to a third party or its disclosure would violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement or other Contract that is binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) disclosure of any such information or document would result in the waiver or loss of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other legal privilege; provided further, that with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner that would not violate Applicable Law or jeopardize any privilege. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries. No information or knowledge obtained by Parent in any investigation pursuant to this Section shall affect or be deemed to modify any

representation or warranty made by the Company hereunder. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be directed to an executive officer of the Company or such Person as may be designated by any such executive officer.

Section 6.03. No Solicitation; Other Offers.

(a)  General Prohibitions. The Company shall not, shall cause its Subsidiaries and the Company’s officers and directors not to, and shall instruct its and its Subsidiaries’ respective other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records, work papers and other documents related to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, otherwise cooperate in any way with, any Third Party that is seeking to make, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal in connection therewith, (iii)  (A) qualify, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub the Company Board Recommendation, (B) adopt, endorse, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, or resolve to take any such action, (C) following the date any Acquisition Proposal or any material modification thereto is first publicly announced, other than in the case of a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation D promulgated under the 1934 Act, fail to issue a press release reaffirming the Company Board Recommendation within the earlier of (x) ten (10) Business Days after a request by Parent to do so and (y) prior to the date of the Company Meeting (as such date may be postponed or adjourned in accordance with the terms hereof), (D) fail to recommend, in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, against any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation D promulgated under the 1934 Act within the earlier of (x) ten (10) Business Days after the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the 1934 Act) of such tender offer or exchange offer and (y) prior to the date of the Company Meeting (as such date may be postponed or adjourned in accordance with the terms hereof) or (E) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement when disseminated to the Company stockholders in accordance with Section 8.03 (any of the foregoing in this clause (iii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (iv) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, indication of interest, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar instrument relating to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b)  Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 6.03(a), at any time prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote:

(i) the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may (A)  engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party and its Representatives that has made after the date of this Agreement a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.03 if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with, in the case of financial matters, its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would

reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (B) furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to Parent within twenty-four (24) hours) with such Third Party with terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood and agreed that such confidentiality agreement need not include provisions restricting any person from making, publicly or privately, an Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise containing any standstill or similar provision and shall permit the Company to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, including this Section 6.03); provided that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party or its Representatives; and

(ii)  subject to Section 6.03(d), the Board of Directors may make an Adverse Recommendation Change (A) following receipt of a Superior Proposal (provided that such Superior Proposal did not result from a breach of (a) or Section 6.03(f)) or (B) in response to an Intervening Event;

(iii)  provided, that in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) only if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware law. In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors from complying with Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 under the 1934 Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal so long as any action taken or statement made to so comply is consistent with this Section 6.03; provided that any such action taken or statement made that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Board of Directors expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action.

(c)  Required Notices. The Board of Directors shall not take any of the actions referred to in Section 6.03 unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action. In addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, or any request for material non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books, records, work papers or other documents relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that has indicated it may be considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall be in writing and shall identify the Third Party and the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal indication or request, and shall be accompanied by a copy of any material written agreements (or any material draft written agreements) delivered to the Company or its Representatives in connection with such Acquisition Proposal. The

Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably prompt basis, of the status of any such Acquisition Proposal including notifying Parent in writing within twenty-four (24) hours after the occurrence of any material amendment or modification thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent in writing if it determines to begin providing information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal.

(d)  “Last Look”. The Board of Directors shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Acquisition Proposal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), unless (i) the Company notifies Parent, in writing at least four (4) Business Days before taking that action, of its intention to do so, specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such Adverse Recommendation Change and/or such termination (which notice shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change or termination), attaching (A) in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made in connection with a Superior Proposal or a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), the most current version of the proposed agreement under which such Superior Proposal is proposed to be consummated, or (B) in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made pursuant to an Intervening Event, a reasonably detailed description of the reasons for making such Adverse Recommendation Change, and (ii) the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, reasonably and in good faith with Parent during such notice period any revisions to the terms of this Agreement that Parent proposes and (iii) following the end of such notice period, the Board of Directors shall have determined, in consultation with outside legal counsel and, in the case of financial matters, its financial advisor, and giving due consideration to such revisions proposed by Parent, that (A) in the case of any Adverse Recommendation Change to be made in connection with a Superior Proposal or a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), such Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Superior Proposal (assuming such revisions proposed by Parent were to be given effect) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company; provided that for the purposes of such new notification the reference to “four (4) Business Days” in Section 6.03(d)(i) shall be deemed to be “two (2) Business Days”) and (B) in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change to be made pursuant to an Intervening Event, such Intervening Event would nevertheless necessitate the need for such Adverse Recommendation Change, and, in either case, the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware law.

(e)  Definition of Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide, unsolicited Acquisition Proposal (that is not made as a result of a breach of this Section 6.03) after the date of this Agreement, which the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after considering the advice of, in the case of financial matters, its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, and outside legal counsel, to be (i) more favorable to the holders of Shares from a financial point of view than the Merger (taking into account all of the terms and conditions, including any

financing condition or the reliability of any debt or equity funding commitment, of, the identity of the Third Party making, the likelihood of completion of, such Acquisition Proposal and any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation and this Agreement (including, if applicable at the time of such determination, any changes to the financial terms of this Agreement then proposed by Parent in response to such offer or otherwise that, if accepted by the Company, would be binding upon Parent)), and (ii) reasonably likely to be capable of being completed, in each case taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal that the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) considers relevant; provided, that for the purposes of this definition of “Superior Proposal”, references to 15% in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to 50%.

(f)  Obligation of the Company to Terminate Existing Discussions. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the Company’s officers and directors to, and shall instruct its and its Subsidiaries’ respective other Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party and its Representatives conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. To the extent that it has not done so prior to the date hereof, the Company shall promptly request that each Third Party, if any, that has executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company within the 12-month period prior to the date hereof in connection with its consideration of any Acquisition Proposal return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.04. R&W Insurance Policy. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with Parent obtaining a buyer-side representation and warranty insurance policy (the “R&W Insurance Policy”).

Section 6.05. Company Resignations. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent resignations executed by each member of the Board of Directors and, to the extent directed by Parent prior to the Closing, each other director, manager and officer of each Subsidiary of the Company in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, which resignations shall be effective at the Effective Time.

COVENANTS OF PARENT

Parent covenants and agrees that:

Section 7.01. Conduct of Parent. Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, take any action or fail to take any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions, including the financing thereof.

Section 7.02. Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.03. Director and Officer Liability. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation hereby agrees, to do the following:

(a)  For six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or provided under the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws in effect on the date hereof;

(b)  For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect provisions in the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or in such documents of any successor to the business of the Surviving Corporation) regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are no less advantageous to the intended beneficiaries than the corresponding provisions in existence on the date of this Agreement.

(c)  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ Insurance Policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability Insurance Policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or actions contemplated hereby); provided that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policy pursuant to this sentence an amount in excess of 350% of the aggregate annual premium paid by the Company in its last full fiscal year for the D&O Insurance; and provided further that if the aggregate cost of such tail policy exceeds such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a tail policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(d)  If 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, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.03.

(e)  The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.03 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under the DGCL or any other Applicable Law or under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person.

Section 7.04. Taxes.

(a) All Transfer Taxes shall be borne and paid by Parent.

(b)  At or prior to Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a duly executed certificate from the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, complying with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(c)(3), together with a draft notice to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2).

Section 7.05. Employee Matters.

(a)  On and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) to honor the obligations of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries under the Employee Plans, provided that nothing herein shall prevent Parent from terminating or modifying any Employee Plan in accordance with its terms.

(b)  For the period commencing at the Closing and ending on the 12 month anniversary of the Closing, Parent shall provide, or shall cause its controlled Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) to provide, each Continuing Employee with (i) a base salary, wage or commission rate and annual cash bonus opportunities, in each case, that is at least equal to the base salary, wage or commission rate and annual cash bonus opportunities, provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) health, welfare, retirement and other employee benefits (excluding (A) any defined benefit pension benefits, (B) retiree health benefits, (C) equity or equity based incentives, and (D) transaction, retention, or change in control bonuses) that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the health, welfare, retirement and other employee benefits (excluding (A) any defined benefit pension benefits, (B)  retiree health benefits, (C) equity or equity based incentives, and (D) transaction, retention, or change in control bonuses) provided by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (iii) severance protections and benefits that are no less favorable than those provided under the

plans and programs listed or described in Section 7.05(b)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Severance Plans”).

(c)  Without limiting the other provisions in this Section 7.05, to the extent the Closing occurs prior to the date on which annual bonuses in respect of the 2022 fiscal year (the “2022 Bonuses”) are normally paid, the Company will pay the 2022 Bonuses (and Parent will cause the Company to pay the 2022 Bonuses) at the same time annual bonuses would have otherwise been paid in the ordinary course of business; provided that to the extent that after the Effective Time but prior to the time 2022 Bonuses are paid to other Continuing Employees, any Continuing Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” in a manner that entitles the Continuing Employee to severance benefits under the Severance Plans, Parent shall pay such Continuing Employee their Pro Rata Bonus Amount at the time 2022 Bonuses are paid to other Continuing Employees. For the purposes of this Section 7.05(c), “Pro Rata Bonus Amount” means (A) if the Continuing Employee would have been entitled to a 2022 Bonus at the time that 2022 Bonuses are paid given the Company’s performance against applicable budgets and targets as of the Continuing Employee’s termination date (the “Potential Bonus”), the Potential Bonus multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the applicable fiscal year through the Continuing Employee’s termination date and the denominator of which is 365 and (B) if the Continuing Employee would not have been entitled to a 2022 Bonus at the time that 2022 Bonuses are paid given the Company’s performance against applicable budgets and targets as of the Continuing Employee’s termination date, $0.

(d)  With respect to any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by Parent or its controlled Affiliates, excluding any defined benefit or retiree health and welfare plans, in which any Continuing Employee is eligible to participate on or after the Closing, for all purposes, including eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual purposes, such Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing shall be treated as service with Parent and its Affiliates to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Closing, to credit for such service under any analogous Employee Plan; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that it would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service or such service was not credited under the corresponding Employee Plan.

(e)  With respect to any health and welfare benefit plans (excluding any retiree health and welfare plans) plan maintained by Parent or its controlled Affiliates in which any Continuing Employee is eligible to participate on or after the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) to (i) waive, or cause to be waived, preexisting conditions, limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods with respect to participation by and coverage of the Continuing Employees to the same extent such preexisting conditions, limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Continuing Employee during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment

limitations to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, prior to the Closing, to recognition of such co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses under any Employee Plan.

(f)  Nothing in this Section 7.05, express or implied, (i) is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto, including any current or former Service Provider, Company Employee or Continuing Employee, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, (ii) shall establish, or constitute an amendment, termination or modification of, or an undertaking to amend, establish, terminate or modify, any Employee Plan or other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (iii) shall alter or limit the ability of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (or, following the Effective Time, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to amend, modify or terminate any Employee Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them or (iv) shall create any obligation on the part of Parent or its Subsidiaries (or, following the Effective Time, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to employ or engage any Service Provider for any period following the Effective Time.

Section 7.06. R&W Insurance Policy. If Parent or any of its controlled Affiliates determines to procure an R&W Insurance Policy, Parent shall ensure that the R&W Insurance Policy expressly provides that (i) the insurers shall have no, and shall specifically and irrevocably waive and agree not to pursue any and all, claims or other recovery against the Company and its Affiliates, and any of their respective current, former or future direct or indirect equity holders, managers, members, officers, directors, partners and employees of any of the foregoing and their successors and assigns (“Seller Parties”) in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, except in the case of actual common law fraud by such Seller Party, and (ii) such Seller Parties are third-party beneficiaries of such waiver. Parent shall not and shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to amend the R&W Insurance Policy in any respect that would have the effect of altering the provisions referred to in the immediately preceding sentence without the consent of the Company and the Seller Party against whom such amendment will be effective.

ARTICLE 8

COVENANTS OF PARENT AND THE COMPANY

Section 8.01. Efforts. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law to consummate the Transactions as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event prior to the End Date), including (i) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable with any Governmental Authority or other third party all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents and (ii) obtaining and maintaining all approvals, consents, registrations,

permits, authorizations and other confirmations required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or other third party that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions. The parties hereto understand and agree that the obligations of Parent under this Section 8.01 include taking, and causing its Subsidiaries to take, all actions necessary or appropriate to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Applicable Law or otherwise so as to enable the consummation of the Transactions to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event prior to the End Date), including: (A) entering into any settlement, undertaking, consent decree, stipulation or agreement with or required by any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions; (B) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of businesses, product lines or assets of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, or those of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (C) terminating existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of Parent or its Subsidiaries (including those of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries); (D) otherwise taking or committing to take actions that after the Closing would limit Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ (including the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’) freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain or exercise rights of ownership or control with respect to, one or more of the businesses, product lines or assets of Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) (each of the foregoing described in any of Section 8.01(a)(A) through (D), a “Regulatory Concession”); (E) defending any action, suit or proceeding (including by appeal if necessary) that challenges any of the Transactions or the other Transaction Documents or which would otherwise prohibit, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the Transactions or the other Transaction Documents; and (F) seeking to have lifted, vacated or reversed any stay, injunction, temporary restraining order or other restraint entered by any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions.

(b)  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company shall (and Parent shall cause its Affiliates to) (i) make or cause to be made an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof and (ii) make or cause to be made all necessary registrations, declarations, notices, or filings required under the Antitrust Laws in the jurisdictions set

forth on Section 8.01(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule as promptly as practicable. Each of Parent and the Company shall respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries received from any Governmental Authority for additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to use their reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable. Each party hereto shall (i) notify the other parties of any substantive communication to that party from any Governmental Authority, and, subject to Applicable Law, permit the other parties to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Authority, (ii) promptly furnish the other parties with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and such Governmental Authority, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions, (iii) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning any competition or antitrust matters in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate thereat and (iv) furnish the other parties with copies of all correspondence, filings, and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between them and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members or their respective staffs on the other hand, with respect to any competition or antitrust matters in connection with this Agreement. Any materials contemplated for exchange in connection with this Section 8.01 may be withheld as necessary to address reasonable privilege, sensitive information or confidentiality concerns, or redacted to remove references concerning valuation or other competitively sensitive material, and the parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any materials provided to the other under this Section 8.01 as “outside counsel only.”

(c)  Parent will (i) determine the timing and strategy and be responsible for the content of any substantive oral or written communications with any applicable Governmental Authority, and (ii) lead all proceedings and activities, in each such case under clauses (i) and (ii) with respect to seeking actions, consents, approvals or waivers of any Governmental Authority under the HSR Act; provided, however, that the foregoing shall be reasonably designed to obtain all required actions, consents, approvals and waivers of all Governmental Authorities under the HSR Act at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the End Date and Parent shall reasonably consult with the Company and in good faith consider its views regarding the foregoing.

(d)  Parent shall cause Sponsor and each of its Affiliates to take all actions as are necessary or appropriate to file or cause to be filed all documentation, notifications, submissions or filings as are described in this Section 8.01 by the dates or within the periods specified therein.

Section 8.02. Certain Filings. The Company and Parent shall cooperate with one another (i) in connection with the preparation of the Company Disclosure Documents

and (ii) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any material Contracts, in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and in taking such actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith or with the Company Disclosure Documents.

Section 8.03. Proxy Statement; Company Meeting. (a) Promptly following the date of this Agreement (and no later than twenty-five (25) calendar days after the date hereof), the Company will prepare (with Parent’s reasonable assistance) and the Company will file with the SEC the Proxy Statement. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and furnish all information concerning itself and its Affiliates that is required in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement. The Company will cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Clearance Time. Prior to any filing of, or amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company will provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and the Company shall give consideration to any comments made by Parent and its Representatives. If at any time prior to the Company Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, is discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information will notify the other party hereto as promptly as reasonably practicable and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information will be filed as promptly as reasonably practicable with the SEC and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. The Company will notify as promptly as reasonably practicable Parent of the receipt of any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that the Company or its Representatives may receive from time to time from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and the Company will supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Transactions. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments on the Proxy Statement from the SEC or the staff of the SEC.
