of the DGCL and the DLLCA. The Second Merger shall become effective at the date and time of such filing of the Second Certificate of Merger, or such later time as may be agreed by each of the parties hereto and specified in the Second Certificate
of Merger (such time being the “Second Effective Time”).

certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Stock (“Certificates”) and each holder of shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are not represented by Certificates (“Book-Entry
Shares”) shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Stock except (i) the right to receive, as applicable, the Merger Consideration, any dividends pursuant to Section 3.02(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 3.02(e), in each case to be issued or
paid, without interest, in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 3.02(b) (or in the case
of a lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, Section 3.02(j)) or (ii) as provided by Law.
(c) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the
First Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, First Merger Sub, the Company or any holders of Company Stock, each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be
cancelled and retired and cease to exist without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.
(d) Each issued and outstanding share of
capital stock of First Merger Sub, par value $0.01 per share, shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, First Merger Sub or the Company, be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
Section 2.05 Effect of the Second Merger; Conversion of Securities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any
action on the part of any party hereto or any holders of Company Stock or the holders of any shares of capital stock of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Second Merger Sub: (a) each share of Class A Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and (b) each limited liability company interest of Second Merger Sub issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall not be affected and shall remain outstanding as a limited liability company interest of the Surviving Entity, which shall constitute one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding
equity of the Surviving Entity.
Section 2.06 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws; Certificate of Formation; Operating Agreement. (a) At the Effective Time, the Company’s certificate of incorporation in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall continue to be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.
(b) At the Effective Time, the bylaws of
Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated to read in their entirety as the bylaws of First Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that all references therein to First
Merger Sub shall be replaced by references to the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.
(c) At the Second Effective Time, the
certificate of formation and operating agreement of Second Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall continue to be the certificate of formation and operating agreement of the Surviving Entity until thereafter

Section 2.07 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity. The parties shall take all requisite action so that, from and after the Effective Time, the directors of First Merger
Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and until their respective successors
are duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal, and the officers of First Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each until their
respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until such officer’s earlier death, resignation or removal. The parties shall take all requisite action so that, from and after the Second Effective Time, the officers of Second Merger Sub
immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Entity, as set forth in the operating agreement of the Surviving Entity, each until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until such
officer’s earlier death, resignation or removal.
Section 2.08 Intended Tax Treatment. (a) For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for purposes of any applicable state or local Tax that follows the U.S. federal income tax treatment), the parties hereto
intend that (i) the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, will constitute an integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (ii) this Agreement will constitute a “plan
of reorganization” for the purposes of Section 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Intended Tax
Treatment”).
(b) So long as the conditions set forth on Exhibit D are satisfied, then (i) each party hereto will agree to prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the position that the Mergers qualify for the Intended Tax
Treatment, and (ii) no party shall take any position on any Tax Return or during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, except, in each case, as otherwise
required by a final determination by a taxing authority or a change in applicable Law after the date of this Agreement.
(c) The parties shall cooperate with each
other and their respective counsel and use their reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions set forth on Exhibit D to be satisfied. Neither the Company nor Parent
shall, or shall cause or permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, take or omit to take any reasonable action not required or contemplated by this Agreement, as a result of which the Mergers would reasonably be expected to fail to qualify for
the Intended Tax Treatment.
(d) Parent shall reasonably promptly notify
the Company, and the Company shall reasonably promptly notify the Parent, in each case if such party becomes aware of any
non-public fact or circumstance that would reasonably be likely to prevent or impede the Mergers from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.
ARTICLE III
DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION
Section 3.01 Election Procedures. (a) Not less than 30 days prior to the anticipated Effective Time (the “Mailing Date”), Parent will
cause to be mailed to each record holder of shares of Company Stock (other than shares of Company Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 2.04(c)) as of five Business Days
prior to the Mailing Date: (x) an election form in such form consistent with the terms of this Agreement as Parent shall specify (which such form shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) (the “Election Form”) and (y) a letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the shares of Company Stock shall be deemed to pass, only upon proper delivery of the
Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof together with the required indemnity) or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and shall be in a customary form and have such other provisions as are reasonably acceptable to
the Company and Parent, including instructions for use in effecting the surrender or transfer (the “Letter of Transmittal”). The Election Form shall state the procedures
for electing the Merger Consideration and shall specify the number of shares of Parent Common Stock and/or amount of cash that comprise the Alternative Consideration as determined by Parent.
(b) Each Election Form will permit each
holder of shares of Company Stock to specify (i) the number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the CVR Consideration, (ii) the number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which such holder elects to
receive the Cash & Stock Consideration or (iii) that such holder makes no election with respect to such holder’s shares of Company Stock. Any shares of Company Stock with respect to which the Exchange Agent does not receive a properly
completed Election Form during the period (the “Election Period”) from the Mailing Date to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date which Parent and the Company shall agree is
as near as practicable to three Business Days preceding the Closing Date, or such other date as Parent and the Company will, prior to the Closing, mutually agree (the “Election
Deadline”), will be deemed to be No Election Shares. Parent and the Company shall publicly announce the date of the Election Deadline at least three Business Days prior to the Election Deadline. If the Closing Date is delayed to a
subsequent date, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and Parent and the Company shall promptly announce any such delay and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Deadline.
(c) Parent shall direct the Exchange Agent
to make Election Forms available as may be reasonably requested from time to time by all Persons who become holders of record of Company Stock between the date that is five Business Days prior to the Mailing Date and the Election Deadline, and the
Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for the Exchange Agent to perform as specified in this Agreement and as specified in any agreement between Parent and/or the Company and the Exchange Agent.
(d) Any election made pursuant to this Section 3.01 will have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent will have actually received a properly completed Election Form during the Election Period. Any Election
Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting it, by written notice received by the Exchange Agent during the Election Period. In the event an Election Form is revoked during the Election Period, the shares of Company Stock represented
by such Election Form will be deemed to be No Election Shares, except to the extent a subsequent election is properly made during the Election Period. Any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX shall result in the revocation of all Election Forms delivered to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the date of such termination. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the
Exchange Agent will have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent
regarding such matters will be binding and conclusive. None of Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Company or the Exchange Agent will be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.
Section 3.02 Exchange of Certificates. (a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Mailing Date, Parent shall designate a commercial bank or
trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the exchange of shares of Company Stock in accordance with this Article III. Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Stock (other than shares of
Company Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 2.04(c), Company Restricted Stock Awards and Appraisal Shares), for exchange in accordance with this Article III at or prior to the Effective Time, (i) book-entry shares representing the aggregate Stock Consideration and any shares of Parent Common Stock included in the aggregate Alternative
Consideration (excluding any portion of the aggregate Stock Consideration or Alternative Consideration deliverable in respect of shares of Company Stock owned directly or indirectly by Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub and any part of
the aggregate Stock Consideration in respect of which cash is to be paid in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.02(e)), and (ii) cash in an amount sufficient
to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration and the cash portion, if any, of the Alternative Consideration (excluding any Cash Consideration and the cash portion, if any, of the Alternative Consideration payable in respect of shares of Company Stock
owned directly or indirectly by Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub), plus any cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.02(e), and
(iii) CVR Certificates representing the aggregate number of CVRs issuable pursuant to the CVR Agreement, in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), payable or deliverable pursuant to Section 2.04(a). In addition, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time at or after the Closing any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 3.02(c). All shares of Parent Common Stock, cash (including any cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.02(e)) and CVR Certificates, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.02(c),
deposited with or provided to the Exchange Agent by or on behalf of Parent, shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”. For avoidance of doubt, Parent
shall not be required to deposit any funds related to any CVR with the Trustee unless and until such deposit is required pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the
Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided that the Exchange Fund shall only be invested
into Designated Investments. Any interest or other income from such investments shall be paid to and become income of Parent. Except as contemplated by Section 3.02(g),
the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as specified in this Section 3.02(a).
(b) Exchange Procedures. (i) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of Company Stock as of the
Effective Time who is entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.04(a), as set forth on the Closing Capitalization Schedule if such holder of
shares of Company Stock has not already returned a valid, duly completed Letter of Transmittal: (A) a Letter of Transmittal and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares pursuant to
such letter of transmittal.
(ii) Promptly following
the later of (x) the Effective Time and (y) (A) delivery to the Exchange Agent of a letter of transmittal properly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and (B) with respect to holders of Certificates, surrender
to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, in each case, together with such other documents as may be reasonably requested, the holder of such shares of Company Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (I) cash in the
amount equal to the Cash Consideration and, if applicable, the cash portion, if any, of the Alternative Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.04(a)
and this Article III (in each case, rounded to the nearest cent); (II) book-entry shares representing the Stock Consideration and, if applicable, any shares of Parent
Common Stock included in the Alternative Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and this Article III; (III) if applicable, CVRs in the amount that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.04(a)
and this Article III (subject to and in accordance with the CVR Agreement); (IV) cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock such holder is entitled to
receive pursuant to Section 3.02(e) (rounded to the nearest cent) and (V) any dividends or other distributions such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.02(c); and the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Stock
which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, (I) cash in the amount equal to the Cash Consideration and, if applicable, the cash portion, if any, of the Alternative Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant
to Section 2.04(a) and this Article III (in each case, rounded to the nearest cent);
(II) book-entry shares representing the Stock Consideration and, if applicable, any shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Alternative Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and this Article III; (III), if applicable, CVRs in the amount that such holder has the right to receive
pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and this Article III (subject to and in accordance with the CVR
Agreement); (IV) cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.02(e) (rounded to the nearest cent)
and (V) any dividends or other distributions such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.02(c) may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate or Book‑Entry
Shares representing such shares
of Company Stock are presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that
any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by Section 2.04(a) and this Section 3.02, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender, in each case, without interest, the Merger Consideration,
cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.02(e) and any
dividends or other distributions such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.02(c).
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Parent Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or paid with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to the Parent
Common Stock (and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.02(e)) shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered
Certificate or Book-Entry Share until the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall surrender such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 3.02(b).
Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 3.02(b), there
shall be paid to the record holder of shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the appropriate payment date (or, if previously paid, promptly), the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date
after the Effective Time but prior to surrender payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock and the amount of any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.02(e).
(d) No Further Rights in Company Stock. All Merger Consideration issued or paid upon surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article III (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 3.02(c) or Section 3.02(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued or paid, as the case may be, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Stock formerly represented by such
Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
(e) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued as Stock Consideration or Alternative Consideration, but in lieu thereof each holder of Company Stock otherwise
entitled to a fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be entitled to receive, from the Exchange Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.02(e), a
cash payment in lieu of such fractional share of Parent Common Stock in an amount equal to the amount of such fractional share (expressed as a decimal) multiplied by the Average Parent Stock Price. The parties hereto acknowledge that payment of
such cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that
would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock. Such amounts payable to holders of shares of Company Stock shall be without interest, rounded down to the nearest whole cent and subject to the amount of any
withholding Taxes as contemplated in Section 3.02(i).
(f) Adjustments to Stock Consideration. The calculation of the Aggregate Stock Consideration and aggregate shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, payable as Alternative Consideration shall be equitably
adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities of a Subsidiary of Parent or the Company or of securities convertible into Parent Common
Stock or Company Stock), recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or Company Stock with a record date occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the
Effective Time; provided that nothing in this Section 3.02(f) shall be construed to permit
the Company or Parent to take any of the foregoing actions with respect to Company Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, to the extent otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, including Section 6.01 and Section 6.02.
(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including proceeds of any investment thereof) that remains undistributed to the holders of shares of Company Stock on the date that is
12 months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article III
shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(a), any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent
Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 3.02(e) and any dividends or other distributions with respect to the Parent Common Stock to which they are
entitled pursuant to Section 3.02(c).
(h) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any Merger Consideration from the
Exchange Fund (or dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock) or other cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
(i) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent, Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any
amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the CVR Agreement such amount as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, any provision
of applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law or any other Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement and the CVR Agreement as having been paid to
the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
(j) 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 Parent, providing an indemnity agreement in customary form reasonably acceptable to Parent against any claim that may be made against Parent with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Stock formerly represented by such Certificate to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to
Section 2.04(a), any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which the
holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 3.02(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 3.02(c).
Section 3.03 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock thereafter on
the records of the Company. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent for any reason shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of
Company Stock formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(a), any cash in lieu of
fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which the holders of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are entitled pursuant to Section 3.02(e) and any dividends or
other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 3.02(c).
Section 3.04 Company Equity Awards. (a) Immediately prior to, and contingent on, the Effective Time, a number of options, shares of Company Stock or restricted stock units, as applicable, subject to each
Service-Vesting Award that is unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time equal to the number of options, shares or units, as applicable, that would have vested on or prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Time if the applicable
holder of such Service-Vesting Award satisfied all applicable service-based vesting criteria through such third anniversary shall vest, with such vesting applied to the options, shares or units, as applicable, that have the longest remaining
vesting periods (i.e., in reverse chronological order, as illustrated in the examples set forth on Section 3.04(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter). Any Service-Vesting Award (or portion thereof) that remains unvested following the application of the accelerated vesting provided for in this Section 3.04(a), shall be referred to as a “Rollover Service-Based Award”.
(b) Immediately prior to, and contingent on,
the Effective Time, a number of options, shares of Company Stock or restricted stock units, as applicable, subject to each Performance-Vesting Award that is unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time equal to the number of options,
shares or units, as applicable, (rounded up to the nearest whole option, share or unit, as applicable) that would have vested based on achievement of the performance-based vesting criteria applicable to such Performance-Vesting Award shall vest as
set forth on Section 3.04(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Any Performance-Vesting Award (or portion thereof) that remains unvested following the application of
the vesting described in this Section 3.04(b), shall be referred to as a “Rollover Performance-Based
Award” and, together with the Rollover Service-Based Awards, the “Rollover Awards”. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cash-Out Award” shall mean any Company Equity Award (or portion thereof) that is outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such
Company Equity Award (or portion thereof) that (x) vests as a result of the application of Sections 3.04(a) or (b), or (y) vested in the ordinary course prior to the application of Sections 3.04(a) and (b) or on an accelerated basis in connection with (and on or prior to) the Effective Time (a “Single-Trigger Award”)). Section 3.04(b)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth, to the Company’s knowledge, all Single-Trigger Awards.
(c) On the Mailing Date, Parent will cause
to be provided to each holder of Company Equity Awards an election form in such form consistent with the terms of this Agreement as Parent shall specify (which such form shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) (the “Equity Election Form”). The Equity Election Form shall state the procedures for electing among the options for the treatment of Rollover Awards and Cash-Out Awards described herein and shall
specify the number of shares of Parent Common Stock and/or amount of cash that comprise the Alternative Consideration as determined by Parent. Each Equity Election Form will permit each holder of Company Equity Awards to specify: (i) which
Cash-Out Awards such holder elects to treat as “CVR Cash-Out Awards”; (ii) which Cash-Out Awards such holder elects to treat as “Alternative Cash-Out Awards”; (iii) which Rollover Awards such holder elects to treat as “CVR Rollover Awards”; (iv) which Rollover
Awards such holder elects to treat as “Alternative Rollover Awards”; and/or (v) that such holder makes no election with respect to some or all of such holder’s Company
Equity Awards (any Company Equity Awards described in this clause (v) and any other Company Equity Awards for which Parent does not receive a properly completed Equity Election Form during the Election Period, the “No Election Awards”). The treatment of each of the CVR Cash-Out Awards, Alternative Cash-Out Awards, CVR Rollover Awards and Alternative Rollover Awards is described below. Any No Election Award
shall be treated for all purposes, except as set forth below, as a CVR Cash-Out Award or a CVR Rollover Award, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or any Election Form to the contrary, any Company Stock Option that is a
Rollover Award and that has an exercise price that is greater than or equal to the sum of (x) the Cash Consideration and (y) an amount equal to the product of (I) the Stock Consideration and (II) the Average Parent Stock Price shall be treated as
an Alternative Rollover Award. Section 3.01(d) shall apply to the Equity Election Forms mutatis mutandis.
(d) Immediately prior to, and contingent on,
the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option (or portion thereof) that is a Rollover Award shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive (i) in the case of a CVR Rollover Award only, a number of fully vested CVRs equal to the number of
shares of Company Class A Common Stock subject to such Rollover Award immediately prior to such cancelation and (ii) an option to acquire a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of
(A) the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock subject to such Rollover Award immediately prior to such cancelation, and (B) the applicable Equity Award Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per share of Company Class A Common Stock of such Rollover Award immediately prior to such cancelation by (y) the Equity Award Ratio (such options, “Parent Stock Options”); provided that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such
Parent Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and Section 422 of the Code (to the extent applicable); provided
further, that the parties intend that the actions provided for in the foregoing with respect to CVR Rollover Awards shall be implemented by means of a deemed partial exercise of the Company Stock Option in exchange for Company
Restricted Stock Awards covering a number of shares with an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of the CVRs to be received in exchange for such Rollover Award, with such Company Restricted Stock Awards immediately thereafter canceled in
exchange for the fully vested CVRs provided
for above in accordance with the election of the holder of such CVR Rollover Awards (and, for clarity, the remainder of the Company Stock Option converted into the Parent
Stock Option provided for above in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and Section 422 of the Code (to the extent applicable)).
(e) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Equity Award Ratio” shall mean:
(i) in the case of a CVR
Rollover Award, a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the Cash Consideration and (y) an amount equal to the product of (I) the Stock Consideration and (II) the Average Parent Stock Price and (B) the denominator of which is the
Average Parent Stock Price
(ii) in the case of an
Alternative Rollover Award, a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the cash portion of the Cash & Stock Consideration (which includes the cash portion of the Alternative Consideration (if any)) and (y) an amount equal to the
product of (I) the stock portion of the Cash & Stock Consideration (which includes the stock portion of the Alternative Consideration (if any)) and (II) the Average Parent Stock Price and (B) the denominator of which is the Average Parent Stock
Price.
(f) Immediately prior to, and contingent
upon, the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Stock Award (or portion thereof) that is a Rollover Award shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive (i) in the case of a CVR Rollover Award only, a number of fully vested CVRs equal to
the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock subject to such Rollover Award immediately prior to such cancelation and (ii) a number of restricted shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share)
of (A) the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock subject to such Rollover Award immediately prior to such cancelation and (B) the applicable Equity Award Ratio (such restricted shares, “Parent Restricted Stock”).
(g) Immediately prior to, and contingent
upon, the Effective Time, each Company RSU Award (or portion thereof) that is a Rollover Award shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive (i) in the case of a CVR Rollover Award only, a number of fully vested CVRs equal to the number of
shares of Company Class A Common Stock subject to such Rollover Award immediately prior to such cancelation and (ii) a restricted stock unit with respect to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest
whole share) of (A) the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock subject to such Rollover Award immediately prior to such cancelation, and (B) the applicable Equity Award Ratio (such restricted stock units, collectively with the Parent
Stock Options and Parent Restricted Stock, the “Parent Awards”).
(h) Except as specifically provided in this
Section 3.04, following the Effective Time, each Parent Award shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions that applied to the applicable Rollover Award
immediately prior to the applicable cancelation, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any service-based and performance-based vesting criteria that are not satisfied or deemed satisfied prior to the Effective Time (including pursuant to
Sections 3.04(a) and (b)).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely to the extent set forth on Section 3.04(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, Parent Awards in respect of Rollover Awards that are
Performance-Vesting Awards shall no longer be subject to any performance-vesting criteria following the Effective Time.
(i) Immediately prior to, and contingent on,
the Effective Time, each Cash-Out Award shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive for each share of Company Stock subject to such Cash-Out Award as of immediately prior to such cancelation, in full satisfaction of the rights of the
applicable holder with respect thereto, (i) in the case of a CVR Cash-Out Award, the CVR Consideration or (ii) in the case of an Alternative Cash-Out Award, the Cash & Stock Consideration, in each case, less (A) in the case of any Cash-Out
Award that is a Company Stock Option, the applicable exercise price for such share and (B) in the case of all Company Equity Awards, any required withholding Taxes ((A) and (B) together, the “Cash-Out Deductions”, and the net consideration payable hereunder in respect of a Cash-Out Award, the “Cash-Out Award Consideration”). Any
Cash-Out Deductions shall be satisfied by reducing the cash portion of the applicable consideration by the amount of such Cash-Out Deductions, but not below zero. In the event such cash portion has a value that is less than such Cash-Out
Deductions, such cash portion shall be reduced to zero and in addition Parent shall retain a portion of the stock portion of the applicable consideration that
has a value equal to the amount by which the Cash-Out Deductions exceed such cash portion. The Cash-Out Award Consideration shall be paid as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days
thereafter) through Parent’s, the Surviving Entity’s or the applicable Subsidiary of the Surviving Entity’s payroll. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Cash-Out Award Consideration relates to a Company RSU Award that is
nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, Parent, the Surviving Entity or the applicable Subsidiary shall pay such amounts at the earliest time, as applicable, that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A
of the Code, but no later than five (5) Business Days after such time.
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event any Cash-Out Award Consideration would result in the payment of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock, all such fractional shares a holder of Company Equity Awards in respect of Company Equity Awards would be entitled to shall be
aggregated and paid in (i) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to such aggregated number rounded down to the nearest whole share and (ii) an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) such aggregated number minus the number of whole
shares determined in clause (i) and (B) the Average Parent Stock Price.
(k) No later than the Effective Time, Parent
shall, if registration of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable under the Company Stock Plan or other Plan is required under the Securities Act and such registration is not covered by any Form S-4 filed in connection with the Transactions,
file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8, as the case may be (or any successor form), or another appropriate form with respect to such Parent Common Stock and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration
statement declared effective no later than the Effective Time.
(l) At or prior to the Effective Time, the
Company, the Company Board or a committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.04.
(m) Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, any Taxes required to be withheld in connection with CVRs issued in respect of any Company Equity Award pursuant to this Section 3.04 (other
than in respect of any Cash-Out Awards, which are covered solely by Section 3.04(i)) shall be satisfied by reducing the cash portion of the applicable consideration that
would otherwise be received by the holder of the applicable Company Equity Award by the amount of such required Tax withholding, but not below zero and, in the event such cash portion has a value that is less than such required Tax withholding,
such cash portion shall be reduced to zero and in addition Parent shall retain a portion of the stock portion of the applicable consideration that would
otherwise be received by the holder of the applicable Company Equity Award that has a value equal to the amount by which the required Tax withholding exceeds such cash portion. In the event the cash and stock portion has a value that is less than
such required Tax withholding, the Company shall determine an alternative means of satisfying such Tax withholding that is reasonably acceptable to Parent.
Section 3.05 Appraisal Rights. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any
holder who has not voted in favor of the Mergers or consented thereto in writing, has not waived appraisal rights in connection with the Mergers, and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 262 of the
DGCL (“Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.04(a), but instead shall be entitled to only those rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, or a court of competent jurisdiction
shall determine such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease and such Appraisal
Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they were No Election Shares and shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and shall represent only the right to receive, the CVR Consideration as provided in Section 2.04(a) upon the surrender of such shares in the manner provided in Section 3.02.
(b) The Company shall give prompt notice to
Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Stock, any attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to be paid the “fair
value” of the Appraisal Shares, as provided in Section 262 of the DGCL, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and Actions with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not,
without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. Parent shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Company, require the
Company to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.
Section 3.06 Closing Capitalization Schedule. (a) No less than five Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent and the Exchange Agent a schedule (the “Closing Capitalization Schedule”), setting forth, as of the Effective Time:
(i) a list,
substantially in the form of Section 3.06 of the Company Disclosure Letter, of all holders of Company Stock and Company Equity Awards and each such holder’s address and:

series of Company Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Closing Date, indicating whether any such shares are Company Restricted Stock Awards (and if so, whether or not such Company Restricted Stock Awards are subject to any
performance-based vesting conditions and, if so, the target number of shares of Company Stock that may be issued under such award) and with respect to any shares of Company Class B Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock of any series, (I) the
conversion rate to Company Class A Common Stock applicable thereto, (II) the liquidation preference applicable thereto and (III) the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends applicable thereto;
(B) the number of Company RSU Awards held

may be issued under such award; and
(ii) (A) the calculation
of the Company Fully Diluted Share Count and Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration payable in respect of a share of each class or series of Company Stock, (B) the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid to Company stockholders pursuant to

accompanied with detailed calculations to arrive at the amounts set forth in the Closing Capitalization Schedule.
(b) The Company shall (i) take all necessary
actions to freeze all exercises of Company Stock Options as of immediately prior to delivery of the Closing Capitalization Schedule, and (ii) promptly, but in no event later than the Closing Date, provide Parent and the Exchange Agent an updated

and the Closing Date.

Section 5.06 Compliance. Since January 1, 2018, Parent and its Subsidiaries have operated and conducted their businesses in compliance with all Laws of any Governmental Authority applicable to their respective

requirements necessary to record, perfect and maintain Parent or any of its Subsidiaries’ interest therein and the chain of title thereof, except where any non-compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Parent Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The Parent Owned IP constitutes all of
the material Intellectual Property owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries that is used, held for use or planned for use in the operation or conduct of Parent’s business as currently conducted; and the Parent IP constitutes all of the
Intellectual Property that is used, held for use or planned for use in the conduct of Parent’s business in the manner in which it is currently being conducted, except where
failure to own or otherwise possess rights to any such Intellectual Property would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of Parent, the consummation of this Agreement
and compliance by Parent and its Subsidiaries with the provisions of this Agreement will not conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of, or
result in, termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to the loss of a benefit under, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) in or upon, any Parent IP.
Section 5.08 Financing. Parent has delivered to the Company complete and correct copies of executed commitment letters from Goldman Sachs Bank USA, together with related fee letters (with respect to such fee
letters, complete copies with only the fee amounts, interest rates, original issue discount, and economic and other “market flex” terms redacted, none of which redacted provisions would adversely affect the amount or availability of the Financing
on the Closing Date) of which have been provided to the Company (collectively, the “Financing Commitments”), pursuant to which the Financing Sources party thereto have
committed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to lend the amounts set forth therein for the purposes of financing the Transactions and related Expenses (together with any Alternative Financing and any capital markets debt or
equity financing in replacement thereof or supplemental thereto, the “Financing”). Subject to Parent’s rights with respect to Alternative Financing pursuant to and
subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.18, as of the date hereof, (i) none of the Financing Commitments has been amended or modified as of the date hereof in
any material respect and (ii) the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitments have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any material respect (it being understood that the exercise of “market flex” provisions under any fee letter

Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, as the case may be, and, to the knowledge of Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, each of the other parties thereto, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing Commitments,
other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement, compliance by the Company with the covenants set forth in this Agreement and
the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VIII, no event has occurred as of the date hereof which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would
constitute, or would reasonably be expected to constitute, a default or breach of the Financing
Commitments on the part of Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub or, to the knowledge of Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, any other party thereto.
Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement and compliance by the Company with the covenants set forth in this Agreement, as of the date hereof, Parent has no reason to believe that any of

delivery or performance of, or pursuant to the terms of, this Agreement) or (iv) that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Since December 31, 2019, (i) there has
not been any Parent Material Adverse Effect and (ii) neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action that, if taken after the date of this Agreement, would constitute a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 6.02.
Section 5.10 Information Supplied. The information supplied by Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement does not 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 were made, not misleading.
Section 5.11 Absence of Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened (i) against or involving Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub, any of their respective

Second Merger Sub, as applicable) that, individually or in the aggregate, had or would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) that seeks to restrain or enjoin the consummation of the Transactions or that would

Governmental Authority or arbitrator outstanding against, or, to the knowledge of Parent, investigation by any Governmental Authority involving, Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets, officers, directors or key employees
(in the case of such officers, directors or key employees, such as would affect Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) that would reasonably be expected to affect the ability of Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or prevent or materially impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions. There is no material Action pending by Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or which Parent,
First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries intends to initiate, against any other Person, except where the failure of which would not have, or would not reasonably be expected to have, a Parent Material Adverse
Effect.

ARTICLE VII
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
Section 7.01 Registration Statement; Consent Solicitation Statement. (a) As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall cooperate in preparing and shall prepare
(i) a consent solicitation statement (such consent solicitation statement, as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Consent Solicitation Statement”) to be sent
to the stockholders of the Company relating to the solicitation of consents from the Company’s stockholders in connection with obtaining the Company Stockholder Approvals and (ii) a registration statement on Form S‑4 to register the shares of
Parent Common Stock and CVRs to be issued in connection with the Mergers (together with all amendments
thereto, the “S-4 Registration Statement”), and Parent shall file with the SEC the S-4
Registration Statement, in which the Consent Solicitation Statement shall be included as part of the prospectus, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to the stockholders of the
Company pursuant to the Mergers and CVRs to be issued in connection with the Mergers. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable and to keep the Registration
Statement effective as long as necessary to consummate the Transactions, and, if required by Law, each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the CVR Agreement become qualified under the Trust Indenture Act as
promptly as practicable. Each of Parent and the Company shall furnish all information concerning itself as the other may reasonably request in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Consent
Solicitation Statement. The Registration Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement shall include all information reasonably requested by such other party to be included therein.
(b) Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause the Consent Solicitation Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit and obtain the Company Stockholder Approvals via written consent, in each case as promptly
as practicable after the S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act (the “S-4 Effectiveness Time”); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be obligated to bear any expense or pay any fee (other than the payment of nominal
administrative, processing or similar fees or charges) or grant any concession in connection with obtaining the Company Stockholder Approvals following such solicitation. The Company shall include the Company Recommendation in the Consent
Solicitation Statement (unless there has been a Change in the Company Recommendation in accordance with Section 7.02(d) prior to the date of distribution of the Consent
Solicitation Statement in accordance with this Section 7.01(b)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company’s obligations pursuant to the
first sentence of this Section 7.01(b) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Competing
Proposal or any Change in the Company Recommendation.
(c) No amendment or supplement to the
Consent Solicitation Statement or the S-4 Registration Statement will be made by Parent or the Company without providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. Each party will advise the other promptly after
receiving oral or written notice of any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the S-4 Registration Statement or Consent Solicitation Statement or SEC comments thereon or requests by the SEC for additional information. Parent will
advise the Company promptly after receiving oral or written notice of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification for offering or sale in any jurisdiction of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the
Mergers. Each party shall promptly provide the other with copies of any written communication from the SEC and shall cooperate on the preparation of appropriate responses thereto (and will provide the other with copies of any such responses given
to the SEC) and modifications to the S-4 Registration Statement or Consent Solicitation Statement as shall be reasonably appropriate.
(d) If, at any time prior to the Effective
Time, any information relating to (i) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective Affiliates or Representatives, or (ii) Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub, or their respective Affiliates or Representatives, shall be
discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the S-4 Registration Statement or the Consent Solicitation Statement so that either such document 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 which discovers such information shall promptly inform the other party and the parties
will cooperate to prepare an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information which shall promptly be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.
(e) The Company will not call or convene any
meeting of its stockholders in connection with the Company Stockholder Approvals. The only corporate actions to be set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement are (i) the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Transactions, including
the Mergers, by the holders of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock and (ii) any other matters contemplated by this Agreement that may be required to be approved by the holders of Company Common Stock and/or the holders of Company
Preferred Stock under applicable Law.
(f) Following receipt of the Company
Stockholder Approvals via written consent, the Company shall promptly provide any notices required by Section 228 of the DGCL in accordance therewith.
(g) The Company shall, as promptly as
practicable and (i) no later than 45 days after the end of any fiscal quarter (other than any fourth fiscal quarter) ending after the date hereof, prepare and furnish to Parent copies of the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the
Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of and for such fiscal quarter, together with the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, reviewed by the Company’s independent accountants as provided in the procedures specified by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board in AU 722 and (ii) no later than 90 days after the end of any fiscal year ended after the date hereof, prepare and furnish to Parent copies of the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as of the end of and for such fiscal year, accompanied by an audit report, on such annual financial statements from the Company’s independent accountants, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) together with the notes thereto, and
prepared from the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis through the periods involved (except as may be otherwise required under GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the
SEC, including the requirements of Regulation S-X. When delivered pursuant to this Section 7.01(g), such financial statements shall present fairly in all material
respects the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods shown therein.
Section 7.02 No Solicitation of Transactions. (a) The Company agrees that it will not, and that it will cause each of its Subsidiaries not to and will direct each of its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives
not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, seek or take any
other action to facilitate or knowingly encourage the making, submission or announcement of any proposal that constitutes, or would be reasonably be expected to lead to any
Competing Proposal, (ii) enter into, maintain, continue or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person or entity in furtherance of, or furnish to any Person any information or otherwise cooperate in any way with respect to, any
Competing Proposal, (iii) agree to, approve, endorse, recommend or consummate any Competing Proposal, (iv) enter into, or propose to enter into, any Competing Transaction Agreement, or (v) resolve, propose or agree, or authorize or permit any
Representative to do any of the foregoing. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to and will direct its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations
with any Persons conducted prior to the execution of this Agreement by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or its or any of their respective Representatives with respect to any Competing Proposal, request the prompt return or destruction of all
confidential information previously furnished and terminate access to any physical or electronic data rooms related to a potential Competing Proposal previously granted to such Person.
(b) The Company shall promptly, and in any
event within 24 hours of the Company obtaining knowledge of the receipt thereof, advise Parent in writing of any Competing Proposal, the financial and other material terms and conditions of any such Competing Proposal (including any changes
thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such Competing Proposal. The Company shall (i) keep Parent reasonably informed of the status and material details (including any change to the terms thereof) of any such Competing Proposal and
(ii) provide to Parent, as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof (and in any event, within 24 hours of such receipt or delivery), copies of all correspondence (other than non-substantive written correspondence) and other written
material (including all draft and final versions (and any amendments thereto) of agreements (including schedules and exhibits thereto) and any comments thereon) relating to any such Competing Proposal exchanged between the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (or their Representatives), on the one hand, and the Person making such Competing Proposal (or its Representatives), on the other hand.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approvals, the Company may, subject to compliance with Section 7.02(b), furnish information
to, and enter into discussions with, a Person who has made, after the date hereof, an unsolicited, written, bona fide Competing Proposal so long as such Competing Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 7.02 and, prior to furnishing such information and entering into such discussions, the Company Board has (i) reasonably determined, in its good faith judgment (after having received the
advice of a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel) that (A) such Competing Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to furnish such
information to, or enter into such discussions with, the Person who made such Competing Proposal would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders under applicable Law, (ii) previously provided all
such information to Parent (or provides such information to Parent substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such Person), and (iii) obtained from such Person an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement.
(d) Except as set forth in this Section 7.02(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) fail to make, withdraw, qualify, modify or amend, or propose publicly to fail to make,
withdraw, qualify, modify or amend, the Company Recommendation or fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Consent Solicitation Statement, (B) adopt or recommend, or propose publicly to adopt or recommend, any Competing Proposal, or (C)
enter into any agreement relating to a Competing Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement), or (ii) make any public statement inconsistent with the Company Recommendation (any of the actions described in the foregoing clauses
(i) and (ii), a “Change in the Company Recommendation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approvals and
subject to compliance with Section 7.02(b) the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment (after having received the advice of a financial advisor of nationally
recognized reputation and outside legal counsel) that the failure of the Company Board to make a Change in the Company Recommendation would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company and its stockholders under
applicable Law, then the Company Board may make a Change in the Company Recommendation; provided, however,
that no Change in the Company Recommendation may be made that relates to a Competing Proposal unless such Competing Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, further, that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Change in the Company Recommendation until after the fourth Business Day following Parent’s
receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board intends to make a Change in the Company Recommendation (a “Notice of Adverse Recommendation”)
and specifying the reasons therefor, including the terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal and including an unredacted copy of any proposed agreement (including schedules and exhibits thereto) relating to such Superior Proposal (it being
understood and agreed that any subsequent amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Adverse Recommendation and a three Business Day notice period). The Company agrees that,
during the applicable four or three Business Day notice period prior to the Company Board making a Change in the Company Recommendation, the Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives regarding
any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent. In determining whether to make a Change in the Company Recommendation, the Company Board shall take into account any changes to the financial or other terms of this Agreement
proposed by Parent in response to a Notice of Adverse Recommendation or otherwise. At the end of the four Business Day notice period (or three Business Day notice period with respect to any amendment to the financial terms or any other material
term of such Superior Proposal) the Company Board may effect a Change in the Company Recommendation if the Company Board shall again make a determination in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors (and
taking into account any adjustment or modification of the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent), that the Competing Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal and that the Change in the Company Recommendation is required to comply with the
fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company and its stockholders under applicable Law.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, (i) neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, revoke, rescind, modify or amend in any manner the Drag-Along Resolution and (ii) in no event shall any Change in the Company
Recommendation (A) affect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including the obligations of the Company and the Company’s
stockholders that are party to the Transaction Documents to consummate the Mergers or the other Transactions and to deliver (or cause to be delivered) the written consent contemplated by Section 3(b) of the Selling Investor Support Agreement, or (B)
cause any state corporate takeover statute or other similar statute to be applicable to the Mergers or the other Transactions.
Section 7.03 Access to Information; Confidentiality. (a) Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, provide to Parent and Parent’s Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the officers, employees and other personnel, agents, properties, offices and other facilities of the
Company and its Subsidiaries and to the books and records thereof (including for purposes of conducting regulatory compliance reviews and audits to allow Parent to be in compliance with its policies and procedures and any applicable Law at the
Effective Time); provided, however, that (x) the Company shall not be required to provide
access to or disclose any such information to the extent such access or disclosure would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (provided
that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use their reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege) and (y) the Company may limit physical access to the
properties, offices and other facilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the extent the Company reasonably determines, in light of COVID-19, that such access would jeopardize the health and safety of any employee of the Company or its
Subsidiaries or to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Laws.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed as to the Company’s FDA regulatory strategy with respect to non-immaterial communications
with FDA, pre-submissions to FDA, submissions to FDA, and any other regulatory issues under consideration for presentation to FDA, including IDEs, clinical trials (whether new or on-going), and medical technology, including by providing copies of
material information to Parent; provided, that the Company shall not be required to provide such information to the extent providing such information would result in the
loss of attorney-client privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (provided that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use their reasonable best efforts to
provide such information in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege). In order to keep Parent reasonably informed regarding the Company’s regulatory relationship with FDA, the Company also agrees to in a reasonably
timely manner provide Parent with any and all material communications with FDA with respect to its pre-submissions, submissions, and other non-immaterial regulatory issues such as IDEs, clinical trials (whether new or on-going), medical technology
and any other subject which would likely have a material impact on the Company’s current or future business. Nothing contained in this Section 7.03(b) is intended to
give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the FDA regulatory strategy of the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time.
(c) Except as otherwise prohibited by
applicable Law, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Company and the Company’s Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours upon reasonable
prior notice to Parent’s personnel and records on a basis consistent with the Company’s access to such personnel and records prior to the date hereof in connection with the Company’s due diligence review of Parent and its Subsidiaries in connection
with the Transactions.
(d) All information obtained by the parties
hereto pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.
(e) No investigation pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall affect any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto.
Section 7.04 Employee Benefits Matters. (a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall (or shall cause its Affiliates, including the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries to), honor in accordance with
their terms, all Plans and all other contracts, agreements, arrangements, policies, plans and commitments of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time that are applicable to current or
former Service Providers. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and continuing through the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if shorter, during the period of employment), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity and its
Subsidiaries to, provide each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who continues to be employed by the Company or the Surviving Entity or their respective Affiliates after the Closing Date (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”) with (i) an annual base salary or hourly wage rate, as applicable, and annual cash target bonus or other recurring cash incentive opportunity that is no less favorable, in the
aggregate, than the annual base salary or hourly wage rate, as applicable, and annual target cash bonus or other recurring cash incentive opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, in the aggregate,
and (ii) health, welfare and retirement benefits that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to either, in Parent’s sole discretion, (A) the health, welfare and retirement benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to
the Effective Time or (B) the health, welfare and retirement benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates, in each case and for the avoidance of doubt, excluding defined benefit pension benefits. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officers of each of Parent and the Company, or each of their respective designees, shall cooperate to design and implement an annual bonus program, including performance goals, for the benefit of the Continuing
Employees for the first full calendar year commencing after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Bonus Plan”), with the bonus payouts to be based on the attainment of
performance goals applicable to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such year (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, performance goals applicable to the business of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its
Subsidiaries). Each Continuing Employee shall be entitled to participate in the Post-Closing Bonus Plan with an annual bonus target equal to the greater of (x) such Continuing Employee’s annual bonus target under the Closing Year VCP (as defined
below) and (y) the
annual bonus target of a similarly-situated employees of Parent (as reasonably determined by Parent where such targets constitute a range).
(b) For all purposes under the employee
benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Continuing Employee after the Effective Time (including the Plans), but excluding any retiree health or welfare plans or programs and (solely for purposes of vesting) any equity
compensation arrangements (the “New Plans”), Parent shall credit each Continuing Employee with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their
respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, immediately prior to the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Plan in which such Continuing Employee
participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would
result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries,
to) cause (i) each Continuing Employee to become immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is replacing coverage under a Plan in which such Continuing Employee
participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, all pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations, evidence
of insurability requirements, required physical examinations and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent such conditions were inapplicable or waived
under the comparable Plans in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries, to) cause any eligible expenses
incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the Plan year ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan
for purposes of satisfying all applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in
accordance with such New Plan.
(c) To the extent any payments to
“disqualified individuals” of the Company or its Subsidiaries (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) could be characterized as “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code in connection with the
Transactions, the Company shall (i) no later than the Closing (and in any event prior to obtaining the consent of any recipient of such payment in accordance with (ii) below), disclose its calculations with respect to the potential excess parachute
payments to Parent, and provide any other information reasonably requested by Parent that is necessary in order for Parent to review and understand such calculations (it being understood that the Company shall not be required to provide documents
and information not in the Company’s possession or to prepare or draft any calculations or documents (other than the waivers, disclosure and solicitation documents and calculations of excess parachute payments otherwise referenced in this Section 7.04(c))), (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from any disqualified individual a waiver of his or her rights to any such potential excess parachute
payment absent approval by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with this Section 7.04(c),
and (iii) prior to the Closing, submit such payments for approval or disapproval by a vote of the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote on such matters in a manner intended to meet the requirements of Section 280G of the Code and the
applicable treasury regulations thereunder. Parent shall have the right to review and comment on any waiver required by clause (ii) and any disclosure and solicitation documents required by clause (iii) before such waiver or consent is sought or
document is distributed, as applicable, and the Company shall consider any such comments in good faith. Parent shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, provide to the Company any Parent plans or arrangements that could
result in the payment of any excess parachute payment that would be subject to the foregoing; provided that, in any event, the Company’s failure to include such Parent
plans or arrangement in the stockholders voting materials described herein due to Parent’s failure to provide such plans and arrangements as contemplated hereby will not result in a breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 7.04(c).
(d) Parent shall maintain (or cause its
Subsidiaries, including, following the Closing, the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries, to maintain) the Company’s annual Variable Compensation Plan for the year in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Closing Year VCP”) until at least December 31st of the year in which the Closing Date occurs, and shall pay (or cause its
Subsidiaries, including, following the Closing, the Surviving Entity or its Subsidiaries, to pay) to each Continuing Employee who was a participant in the Closing Year VCP immediately prior to the Closing an award thereunder for the calendar year
in which the Closing occurs based on the greater of (x) actual performance under the Closing Year VCP (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be up to 150%) and (y) target performance (each, a “VCP Bonus”), subject to each such Continuing Employee’s continued employment with the Surviving Entity or its Subsidiaries through the applicable payment date and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Closing Year
VCP. If any such Continuing Employee’s employment is involuntarily terminated prior to the payment of his or her VCP Bonus, he or she will remain eligible to receive his or her VCP Bonus following the end of the applicable calendar year (but in no
event later than March 15th of the year following the year in which the Closing Date occurs).
(e) Following the Closing, Parent shall
provide each Continuing Employee with equity-based compensation (“Parent Equity Awards”) in accordance and consistent with Parent’s standard incentive equity grant
practices, which shall include (without limitation), grants of Parent Equity Awards no less frequently than, in amounts and values that are no less than, and with terms and conditions (including vesting conditions) that are no less favorable than,
Parent Equity Awards granted to similarly-situated Parent employees from time to time.
(f) Without limiting the generality of Section 11.05, the provisions of this Section 7.04 are for the sole benefit of the parties to
this Agreement and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed as to confer upon or give any Person (including for the avoidance of doubt, any Continuing Employee or other current or former Service Provider), other than
the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (including with respect to the matters provided for in this Section
7.04) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, shall (i) be treated as an amendment to any Plan, New Plan or other compensation or benefit plan, program, policy,
agreement, arrangement or understanding
for any purpose, (ii) obligate Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of their Subsidiaries to (A) maintain any particular benefit plan or arrangement or (B) retain the
employment of any particular employee or (iii) prevent Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of their Subsidiaries from amending or terminating any benefit plan or arrangement, in each case, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 7.04.
Section 7.05 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance. (a) Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to assume, and shall cause the Surviving Entity to comply with (including by providing the
Company with sufficient funds to comply with), the obligations with respect to all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation from liabilities, for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing
in favor of the current or former directors or officers of the Company as provided in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company or any indemnification contract between such directors or officers and the Company (in each case, as in
effect on the date hereof), without further action, as of the Effective Time, and such obligations shall survive the Mergers and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable
rights of indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation contemplated by this Section 7.05 and pursuant to the terms of the certificate of incorporation or
bylaws of the Company as in effect at or prior to the Effective Time shall not be impaired by any modification of such terms in any amendment or restatement of such certificate of incorporation or bylaws following the Effective Time.
(b) Parent shall obtain, at the Effective
Time, a prepaid (or “tail”) directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time for six years from the Effective Time, covering each Person currently covered by the
Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (a true and complete copy of which has been heretofore made available to Parent), on terms with respect to such coverage and amounts no less favorable than those of such policy in
effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Entity be
required to expend pursuant to this Section 7.05(b) an aggregate amount in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance; provided, further, that, if the aggregate amount necessary to procure such insurance coverage
exceeds such maximum amount, Parent shall only be obligated to provide as much coverage as may be obtained for such maximum amount.
(c) In the event the Surviving Entity or any
of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving limited liability company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers 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 the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, or at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations
set forth in this Section 7.05.
Section 7.06 Notification of Certain Matters. (a) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) the occurrence, or non‑occurrence, of any change,
event, fact or development which would reasonably be expected to cause any of their respective representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to become untrue or inaccurate such that the conditions set forth in
Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.03(a)
would not be satisfied and (ii) any failure of the Company, Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement
such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(b) or Section 8.03(b) would not be
satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.
(b) The Company shall give prompt notice to
Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required
in connection with the Transactions.
Section 7.07 Reasonable Best Efforts; Further Action. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take,
or cause to be taken, all actions that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including using its reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the satisfaction of the conditions precedent
set forth in Article VIII, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, including pursuant to the contracts set forth on Section 4.04 of
the Company Disclosure Letter; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be obligated to bear
any expense or pay any fee (other than the payment of nominal administrative, processing or similar fees or charges) or grant any concession in connection with obtaining the consents, approvals or waivers referred to in this clause (ii), (iii) the
obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions and consents from, and the giving of any necessary notices to, Governmental Authorities and third parties and the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings under the HSR Act,
which shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof and in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the date hereof, or are required or advisable under other applicable antitrust, competition or
pre-merger notification Laws of any jurisdiction (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”), if any, (iv) the taking of all reasonable steps to provide any supplemental information
requested by any Governmental Authority, including participating in meetings with officials of such entity in the course of its review of this Agreement or the Transactions, including the Merger, (v) the taking of all reasonable steps as may be
necessary to avoid any Action by any Governmental Authority or third party that would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the Merger and (vi) the defending or contesting of any Actions challenging this
Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Authority vacated or reversed. In connection with and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, reasonable best efforts shall include (and with respect to remedies, shall be limited to) Parent and its Subsidiaries offering and agreeing to undertake Permitted Restrictions as reasonably necessary to obtain pre-merger clearance in as
timely a manner as reasonably possible from Governmental Authorities under Antitrust Laws in the United States and, if applicable, the UK and Germany (specifically, for (1) any waiting period applicable to the Mergers under the HSR Act to have been
terminated or expired and the avoidance of an Action in the US seeking to prohibit consummation of the Merger, and (2) any antitrust clearance required to be obtained in the UK and Germany (if applicable)). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any
other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Parent or its Subsidiaries (including First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving
Corporation and its Subsidiaries and, after the Second Effective Time, the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries) be required to agree to or accept (A) any commitment, undertaking or Order to divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any portion
of its or their respective businesses or assets, including after giving effect to the Transactions, or (B) any limitation on the ability of Parent or its Subsidiaries to acquire or hold or exercise full rights of ownership of any capital stock of the
Company or its Subsidiaries, including after giving effect to the Transactions; provided, however, it being understood that Permitted Restrictions affecting the operations
of Parent or its Subsidiaries (including, for this purpose, the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall be deemed not to be a limitation on the ability to exercise full rights of ownership. In no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be
permitted to commit or agree to any remedy (including any matter described in clauses (A) and (B) and any Permitted Restriction) without Parent’s prior written consent. Nothing in this Section
7.07(a) shall require any party to take or agree to take any action with respect to its business or operations pursuant to this Section 7.07(a) unless the
effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Restrictions” shall mean the
actions described in Section 7.07 of the Company Disclosure Letter.
(b) Each of Parent and the Company shall
(i) reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any filing or submission with any Governmental Authorities in connection with the Transactions and any consents from any Governmental Authority in connection therewith and any
investigation or other inquiry related thereto and in connection with resolving any such investigation or inquiry with respect to any such filing or the Mergers, (ii) not extend any waiting or suspension period under any applicable Antitrust Laws
or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the Mergers, except with the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (iii) respond as promptly as
practicable to any applicable inquiries or requests received from any Governmental Authority for additional information or documentation, (iv) promptly make any applicable further filings or information submissions pursuant thereto that may be
necessary or advisable and (v) promptly make any requisite filings or submissions required or advisable under any applicable Antitrust Laws. Each of Parent and the Company shall (A) promptly notify the other party of any written or oral
communication to that party or its Subsidiaries or Representatives from any Governmental Authority regarding the parties’ collaborative efforts to obtain consents to the Mergers under Antitrust Laws, (B) subject to applicable Law and to the extent
reasonably practicable, permit the other party to review and comment on any substantive written communication regarding such efforts prior to providing such communication to any Governmental Authority and (C) to the extent reasonably practicable,
not agree to participate, or permit its Subsidiaries or Representatives to participate, in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning consents to the Mergers
under Antitrust Laws unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority and reasonably practicable, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate. For the avoidance of
doubt, subject to the proviso in the following sentence, Parent and the Company shall jointly control all communications with any Governmental Authority
relating to Antitrust Laws, and determine and direct the strategy and process by which the parties will seek required approvals relating to Antitrust Laws. If the parties
hereto initially disagree upon any such proposed communication, strategy or process, the parties agree to work together in good faith to resolve the disagreement and endeavor to implement such communication, strategy or process in a mutually
acceptable manner; provided that to the extent that a disagreement is unresolved after good faith discussions between Parent and the Company, the implementation of such communication, strategy or process will be controlled by Parent after good faith
consideration of the views of Company. Without limiting the foregoing, neither party shall make any filings, submissions or substantive written communications to any Governmental Authority to obtain consents to the Mergers under Antitrust Laws
without first providing a written copy of such filing, submission or communication to the other party (or as appropriate to such party’s outside counsel) and allowing the other party a reasonable opportunity to provide comments on such filing,
submission or communication prior to submission. Parent and the Company covenant and agree to incorporate all reasonable comments of the other party (or as appropriate such party’s outside counsel) with respect to such filings, submissions and
communications prior to delivery of the same to any Governmental Authority.
Section 7.08 Obligations of First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause each of First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement
and to consummate the Mergers on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Section 7.09 Consents of Accountants. Parent and the Company will each use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to each other consents from their respective independent auditors, in
form reasonably satisfactory to the recipient and customary in scope and substance for consents delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements on Form S‑4 under the Securities Act.
Section 7.10 Listing. Parent shall cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Mergers to be approved for listing on the NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, and the Company shall
cooperate with Parent to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to such listing.
Section 7.11 Public Announcements. The initial press release relating to the Transactions shall be a joint press release, the text of which has been agreed to by each of Parent and the Company. Thereafter,
unless otherwise required by applicable Law or the requirements of applicable stock exchanges, each of Parent and the Company shall each use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity
to review and comment upon, any press release or notice to stockholders, or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other Transactions; provided, however, that each of Parent and the Company may make public statements that do not contain any information relating to the
Transactions that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with this Agreement and do not reveal material, nonpublic information regarding the other party; provided,
further, that the Company may make public statements regarding a Change in the Company Recommendation pursuant to Section 7.02(d).

or before the Closing Date in accordance with, to the extent applicable and, except as required by Law, past practice, (ii) pay all Taxes due and payable in respect of such Tax Returns, except in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), where failure to
file or pay would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, (iii) accrue a reserve in the applicable books and financial statements in accordance with past practices for all Taxes
payable for which no Tax Return is due prior to the Closing Date for which failure to pay would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect and (iv) promptly notify Parent of any suit, claim,
action, investigation, proceeding or audit (in each case with respect to a material amount of Taxes) that becomes pending against or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The Company shall deliver to Parent on
or prior to the Closing Date a properly executed statement signed by the Company to the effect that the shares of Company Stock are not “United States real property interests” within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, the sole remedy under this Agreement in respect of any Person for the failure of the Company to deliver such certification specified in this Section 7.12(b)
to Parent shall be to withhold in accordance with Section 3.02(i) any Taxes that are required to be withheld by such Person pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code by reason
of such failure from any payment otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 7.13 Drag-Along; Stockholder Agreements and Communications. (a) Following the execution of the Drag-Along Consent by the Selling Investors, the Company shall promptly send a notice to the its
stockholders (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E) regarding the approval of this Agreement and the Transactions for purposes of the Drag-Along and the exercise of
the Drag-Along and informing the Voting Agreement Parties of their obligations pursuant to Section 2 of the Voting Agreement with respect to the Drag-Along.
(b) Promptly following the S-4 Effectiveness

pursuant to Section 2.2(c) of the Voting Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Voting Agreement Party to duly execute and deliver to the Company and Parent a support agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (with such changes and modifications as may be mutually agreed by Parent and the Company, each, a “Support
Agreement”); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be obligated to bear any expense or pay
any fee (other than the payment of nominal administrative, processing or similar fees or charges) or grant any concession in connection with the foregoing.
(c) Unless otherwise required by Law or a
Governmental Authority, the Company (i) shall recognize the proxy granted to Parent in respect of all shares of Company Stock held by the Voting Agreement Parties pursuant to the Drag-Along Consent and the proxy
granted to Parent pursuant to the Selling Investor Support Agreement and each Support Agreement and (ii) shall not register transfers of Company Stock that do not comply
with the terms of the Selling Investor Support Agreement and the Support Agreements (as applicable).
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Change in the Company Recommendation affect the validity and enforceability of the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section
7.13.
Section 7.14 Anti-Takeover Statutes. The Company and the Company Board shall: (a) grant such approvals and take all actions necessary so that no “business combination”, “control share acquisition”, “fair price”,
“moratorium” or other anti-takeover or similar Laws become applicable to this Agreement, the CVR Agreement, the Support Agreements and the Selling Investor Support Agreement or the Transactions, including the Mergers, and (b) if any such
anti-takeover or similar Law becomes applicable to the Transactions, grant such approvals and take all actions necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable and otherwise to take all such other actions as are
reasonably necessary to eliminate or minimize to the greatest extent possible the effects of any such Law on the Transactions.

the Company, threatened against the Company and/or its directors or officers relating to this Agreement, the Mergers and/or the other Transactions contemplated hereby and shall keep Parent promptly and reasonably informed regarding any such
Action. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such Action and shall give due consideration to Parent’s views with respect thereto. The Company shall not agree to any settlement of any
such Action without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 7.16 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent Board (or a duly formed and duly authorized committee thereof) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to cause any
acquisitions of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities related to Parent Common Stock) by any individual who shall become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act as a result of the Transactions to be
exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
Section 7.17 CVR Agreement. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will duly adopt, execute and deliver, and each of Parent and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee
to execute and deliver, the CVR Agreement.
Section 7.18 Financing. (a) Each of Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things
necessary or advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in or contemplated by the Financing Commitments prior to when the conditions to the Mergers set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their terms must be satisfied at the Closing) are satisfied, including using reasonable best efforts to (i)
maintain in effect the Financing Commitments; (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub in
the Financing Commitments and otherwise comply with its obligations in each case thereunder; (iii) enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing Commitments on the terms and conditions (including the “market flex” provisions)
contemplated thereby; (iv) in the event that all conditions in the Financing Commitments have been satisfied, cause the Persons providing Financing under the Financing Commitments to fund the Financing and consummate the Financing contemplated by
such Financing Commitments on or prior to the date the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.02; and (v) enforce its rights under the Financing Commitments,
except, in the case of clauses (i) through (v) above, to the extent (and solely to the extent) Parent or one or more of its Subsidiaries has issued in one or more offerings any debt or equity securities in lieu of the Financing on or prior to the
Closing Date or otherwise will have sufficient cash at the Closing, in each case in an amount such that Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity will be able to satisfy all of the payment
obligations of Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity contemplated hereunder in connection with the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent be required to pursue
litigation against the Financing Sources in respect of this clause (a) or otherwise.
(b) None of Parent, First Merger Sub or
Second Merger Sub shall agree to any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under the Financing Commitments, without the prior written consent of the Company if such amendments, modifications or waivers
would, or would reasonably be expected to, (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing; (ii) impose new conditions (or expand any existing conditions) to the receipt of the Financing (in the case of each of (i) and (ii), only if such
amendments, modifications or waivers would reasonably be expected to (x) interfere with Parent’s ability to make available to the Exchange Agent at or immediately prior to the Closing funds sufficient for the satisfaction of all of Parent’s, First
Merger Sub’s and Second Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of the Merger Consideration and the payment of all associated costs and Expenses or (y) prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of
Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub to consummate the Mergers or its other obligations under the Agreement); (iii) prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions; or (iv) adversely impact the ability of Parent, First
Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitments (provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub may amend or modify the Financing Commitments to add lenders, lead arrangers, underwriters, initial purchasers, bookrunners,
syndication agents or similar entities, if the addition of such additional parties, individually and in the aggregate, would not prevent or materially delay the Financing or the consummation of the Transactions).
(c) Parent, First Merger Sub and Second
Merger Sub shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a timely basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing.
(d) Parent, First Merger Sub and Second
Merger Sub shall give the Company prompt notice of Parent’s receiving any notice of any material breach or material default by any party to any Financing Commitment or definitive document related to the Financing of which
Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub become aware; provided, however, that in no event will Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub be under any obligation to disclose any information that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege. If any
portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the “market flex” provisions) contemplated in the Financing Commitments and such portion is necessary to consummate the Mergers, Parent shall use its reasonable best
efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon terms and conditions not materially less favorable to Parent than those in the
Financing Commitments (including, as necessary, the “market flex” provisions contained in any fee letter related to the Financing Commitments) (the “Alternative Financing”)
as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event and prior to when the conditions to Mergers set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by
their terms must be satisfied at the Closing) are satisfied. Any replacement commitment letters and related fee letters (which may be redacted) in connection with an Alternative Financing shall constitute Financing Commitments under this Agreement.
Section 7.19 Financing Cooperation. (a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and each of its and their respective officers, employees, consultants and representatives to,
use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub in connection with Parent’s obtaining the Financing; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries in
any material respect; provided, further, that neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall be required to commit to take any action that is not contingent upon the Closing (including the entry into any agreement) or that would be effective prior to the Effective Time other than as specifically set forth herein. Such
cooperation shall include, without limitation:
(i) furnishing Parent,
First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub and their Financing Sources, promptly following Parent’s request, with such pertinent and customary (as compared to other transactions of this size and nature) information (other than financial information,
which is covered by clause (ii) below), to the extent reasonably available to the Company, regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary in order to consummate the Financing, including all
information necessary to satisfy the conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments;
(ii) furnishing Parent
and its Financing Sources as promptly as practicable (but no earlier than (i) 90 days after the end of the relevant final fiscal year end in the case of paragraph (1), and (ii) 45 days after the end of the relevant fiscal quarter in the case of
paragraph (2)) with: (A)(1) audited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP for the three most recently completed fiscal years ended at least
90 days before the Closing Date, and (2) unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, and cash flows of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP and reviewed by the Company’s independent accountants in accordance with
the procedures set forth in AS 4105 (Reviews of Interim Financial
Information) for each subsequent fiscal quarter ended at
least 45 days prior to the then expected Closing Date and (B) financial information of the type that would be required by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act for an offering of securities registered on Form S-3 under the
Securities Act, including all information required to be incorporated by reference therein and audit reports of annual financial statements to the extent so required or otherwise reasonably necessary to permit Parent to prepare pro forma financial
statements customary for Financings of the applicable type (all such information in clauses (A) and this clause (B), the “Required Information”); provided, however, that the Required Information shall not include, and Parent shall be solely responsible for, the
preparation of pro forma financial information, including pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization, ownership or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any pro forma financial information;
(iii) cooperating with
Parent’s Financing Sources’ due diligence investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries;
(iv) participating in and
assisting with the syndication, underwriting, placement or other marketing of the Financing, including participating in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating
agencies, including direct contact between senior management of the Company and its Subsidiaries and representatives of the Company with prospective investors, lenders and rating agencies in connection with a Financing;
(v) assisting with the
preparation of customary materials for registration statements, rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and supplements related thereto and similar documents required in
connection with the Financing (all such documents and materials, collectively, the “Financing Offering Documents”), providing customary authorization letters authorizing
the distribution of information to prospective Financing Sources and containing customary 10b-5 representations and representations that the public side versions of such documents, if any, do not include material non-public information regarding
the Company or its Subsidiaries or securities and management representation letters and delivering and consenting to the inclusion or incorporation in any SEC filing related to the Financing of the historical audited consolidated financial
statements and unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company;
(vi) executing and
delivering any currency or interest hedging arrangements, other definitive financing documents (provided, however,
that the effectiveness of such documents will be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Effective Time), and obtaining and delivering certificates or documents required to satisfy the conditions in the Financing Commitments;
(vii) obtaining from the
Company’s registered public accounting firm that has audited the Company’s most recent financial statements customary comfort
letters, consents, and other documentation and items required in connection with the Financing with respect to financial information provided pursuant
to clause (a)(ii) of this Section 7.19 that is included or incorporated by reference in any prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document for which such comfort is customarily required, including customary
confirmations (in customary form and scope and delivered at such customary times) of such accountants that they are prepared to issue any such comfort letter or consent subject to the completion of its customary procedures related thereto and
obtaining customary legal opinions, in each case as reasonably requested by Parent (including those requested by Parent on behalf of a Financing Source);
(viii) delivering notices
of prepayment within the time periods required by the relevant agreements governing indebtedness and arranging for customary payoff letters, lien terminations and instruments of discharge to be delivered at Closing to allow for the payoff,

(ix) taking all corporate
and other actions, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, reasonably requested by Parent to (A) permit the consummation of the Financing, (B) the distribution or payment of the proceeds of the Financing, if any, obtained by any Subsidiary
of the Company to the Surviving Entity, and (C) cause the direct borrowing or incurrence of all of the proceeds of the Financing, by the Surviving Entity or any Subsidiary of the Company concurrently with or immediately following the Effective
Time;
(x) furnishing Parent and
its Financing Sources promptly and in any event at least 3 Business Days before the Closing Date with all documentation and other information which any Financing Source providing or arranging the Financing has reasonably requested at least 10
Business Days prior to the Closing Date that such Financing Source has determined is required by Governmental Authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the USA
PATRIOT Act;
(xi) procuring consents
to the reasonable use of all of the Company’s logos in connection with the Financing (provided, however,
that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to and is not reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); and
(xii) furnishing
customary information reasonably available to the Company regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries required for Parent to obtain corporate and facilities ratings and ratings on any debt securities issued in connection with the Financing.
(b) At Parent’s reasonable request, the
Company shall or shall cause its Subsidiaries to use their respective reasonable best efforts to amend or supplement any information supplied in writing by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to Parent, First Merger Sub, Second
Merger Sub or any Financing Source on a reasonably current basis to the extent such information (excluding any projections, forecasts, pro forma financial information and other forward-looking information), to the knowledge of the Company, taken as
a whole, is not correct in all material respects, contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make such information supplied in writing by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
not materially misleading.
(c) Nothing in this Section 7.19 shall require such cooperation to the extent it would (i) require the Company to agree to pay any fees, reimburse any expenses or give any indemnities prior to the Effective Time,
(ii) require the Company to incur any other liability or obligation prior to the Effective Time (it being understood, however, that the Company shall bear all costs and expenses of its annual audit and quarterly reviews of its financial statements
but not the costs of any comfort letter (which shall be borne by Parent)), or (iii) cause any condition to the Mergers set forth in Article VIII to fail to be satisfied
or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement that would give Parent the right to terminate this Agreement (unless, in each case, waived in writing by Parent). Parent shall promptly, upon request by the Company, pay all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket third party costs incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with cooperation pursuant to this Section 7.19 except for the costs of
the Company’s registered public accounting firm described in the prior sentence. All confidential information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries to Parent or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 7.19 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Parent shall be permitted to disclose such information to its Financing Sources and prospective Financing
Sources, subject to ordinary and customary confidentiality undertakings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall be permitted to disclose such confidential information upon prior written notice to the Company if such disclosure is required in
order to comply with applicable laws (including any securities Law or the rules of a securities exchange) and with judicial process. Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and
their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the Financing (other than arising from fraud, willful misconduct or misrepresentations,
misstatements or omissions) and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than written information directly provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries).
(d) For the avoidance of doubt and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein are not
conditioned upon the availability or consummation of the Financing or any other debt financing, the availability of any equity financing or the receipt of the proceeds therefrom.
(e) Without limiting in any respect the
liabilities of the Financing Sources to Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or their Affiliates, or the remedies of Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or their Affiliates against the Financing Sources under any
other agreement to which they are both parties, none of the Financing Sources shall have any liability to the parties or their Affiliates relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and neither the parties nor any of their Affiliates will have any rights or claims against the Financing Sources in respect of the Financing under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or its Affiliates be entitled to seek any remedy, including specific performance of this Agreement, against any of the Financing Sources (it being expressly agreed that
the Financing Sources in their capacities as such shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.19(e) and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions contained in this Section 7.19(e) as if they were a party to this Agreement).
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, it is understood and agreed that the condition precedent set forth in Section 8.02(b), as applied to the Company’s obligations under this Section 7.19, shall be deemed to be satisfied unless the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter has not been obtained as a direct result of the Company’s Intentional Breach of its
obligations under this Section 7.19.
(g) The Company and Parent agree to the
matters set forth on Section 7.19(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter.
Section 7.20 Resignations of Directors and Officers. At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall request that each director and officer of the Company deliver to Parent written resignation and release letters,
effective as of the Closing Date, of each of the directors and officers of the Company requested by Parent in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Closing, effectuating his or her resignation from such position as a member of the
Company Board or as an officer (although not as an employee, if applicable, unless otherwise so requested by Parent), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent.

after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries and, after the Second Effective Time, the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries), (a) other than Permitted Restrictions or (b) unless such Restraint is part of an agreement
between Parent and its Subsidiaries and a Governmental Authority.

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and
the Company, duly authorized by the Parent Board and the Company Board, respectively; or
(b) by either Parent or the Company if:
(i) the Effective Time
shall not have occurred on or before 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the Outside Date; provided, however,
that if on the Outside Date all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01, Section 8.02
and Section 8.03 have been satisfied (or, with respect to the conditions that by their terms must be satisfied at the Closing, would have been so satisfied if the Closing
would have occurred) other than the conditions set forth in Section 8.01(c) (to the extent such Restraint arises under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws), Section 8.01(d) or Section 8.02(d), then either Parent or the Company may extend the Outside Date
to 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on December 20, 2021 by delivering written notice to the other party, which notice shall expressly reference extension of the Outside Date to December 20, 2021 pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(i); provided, further, that
the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement has been the
proximate cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur on or before such time; or
(ii) any Restraint having
the effect set forth in Section 8.01(c) hereof shall have become final and nonappealable; provided,
however, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under Section 7.07; provided, further, that an
Initial Enforcement Order made by the Competition and Markets Authority pursuant to section 72(2) of the UK Enterprise Act 2002 is not considered a Restraint for the purposes of this clause
9.01(b)(ii); or
(c) by Parent:
(i) upon a breach by the
Company of, or failure by the Company to perform, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(a)
or Section 8.02(b) would not be satisfied and such breach or failure is incapable of being cured by the Outside Date or, if curable by the Outside Date, is not cured by
the Company within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach or failure; provided, however, that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(c)(i) if either of Parent, First
Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub is in breach of its representations, warranties or covenants such that the conditions in Section 8.03(a) and Section 8.03(b) would not be satisfied;
(ii) If any Restraint
having the effect set forth in Section 8.02(d) hereof shall have become final and nonappealable; provided,
however, that Parent shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under Section
7.07; provided, further, that an Initial Enforcement Order made by the
Competition and Markets Authority pursuant to section 72(2) of the UK Enterprise Act 2002 is not considered a Restraint for the purposes of this clause 9.01(c)(ii);
(iii) if the Selling
Investors fail to duly execute and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub the Selling Investor Support Agreement and the Drag-Along Consent within 24 hours following the execution and delivery of this
Agreement; or
(d) by the Company upon a breach by any of
Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub of, or a failure by any of Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub to perform, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in
Section 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b) would not be satisfied and such breach or failure is
incapable of being cured by the Outside Date or, if curable by the Outside Date, is not cured by Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub, as applicable, within 30 days of receipt by Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub, as
applicable, of written notice of such breach or failure; provided, however, that the Company
shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(d) if the Company is in breach of its representations, warranties or covenants such
that the conditions in Section 8.02(a) and Section 8.02(b) would not be satisfied.
Section 9.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01, written notice thereof
shall be given to the other parties hereto, specifying the provision or provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination shall have been made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no liability under this Agreement
on the part of any party hereto or their respective Subsidiaries or Representatives, except (a) with respect to this Section 9.02, Section 4.17, Section 5.13, Section 7.03(d),
Section 7.19(c), Section 9.03, Section 9.04, Section 9.05, the tenth and eleventh sentences of Section 10.02
and Article XI, each of which shall survive any termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect and (b) nothing in this Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 shall relieve any party from liability for fraud committed prior to such termination or for
any Intentional Breach prior to such termination of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.03 Fees and Expenses. (a) In the event that:
(i) Parent or the Company
terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(i) and, at the time of such termination, one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01(c) (if the failure of such condition to be satisfied is a result of a Restraint arising under Antitrust Laws), Section 8.01(d)
or Section 8.02(d) were not satisfied or waived;
(ii) Parent or the
Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(ii) as a result of a Restraint arising under Antitrust Laws; or
(iii) Parent terminates
this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(c)(ii),
and, in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), at the time of such termination (A) all of the other conditions set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied or validly waived (except for those conditions that by their terms must be satisfied at the Closing, provided
that such conditions would have been so satisfied if the Closing would have occurred) and (B) the Company and the Selling Investors are not in breach in any material respect of its obligations under this Agreement or Selling Investor Support
Agreement, as applicable, in any manner that shall be the proximate cause of the failure of any of the conditions referred to in clause (i) above or the imposition of the Restraint in clause (ii) above or the imposition of any remedies (x) other than
Permitted Restrictions or (y) unless such remedy is part of an agreement between Parent and its Subsidiaries and a Governmental Authority, as applicable, then Parent shall pay to the Company a fee equal to $300,000,000 (the “Regulatory Termination Fee”), by wire transfer on the second Business Day following the date of termination of this Agreement. In no event shall Parent be required to pay the Regulatory
Termination Fee on more than one occasion.
(b) All Expenses incurred in connection with
this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such Expenses, whether or not the Mergers or any other Transaction is consummated, except Expenses incurred in connection with filing, printing and mailing of the Registration
Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement (including filing fees) shall be borne by Parent, whether or not the Mergers or any other Transaction is consummated.
(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that the agreements contained in Section 9.03(a) are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the parties hereto would not enter into
this Agreement; accordingly, if Parent fails promptly to pay the Regulatory Termination Fee, and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a suit that results in a judgment against Parent for the Regulatory Termination Fee, Parent
shall pay to the Company its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, in each case, together with interest on the amount of the Regulatory Termination Fee, as applicable, from the date such payment
was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal, in effect on the date such payment was required to
be made. Each party further acknowledges that the Regulatory Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is a reasonable amount that will compensate the receiving party in the circumstances in which such payment is payable for the efforts and
resources expended and opportunities forgone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance
on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, which amounts would otherwise be impossible to calculate with
precision.
(d) Subject to the proviso at the end of
this sentence, in the event the Regulatory Termination Fee is required to be paid and is paid to the Company pursuant to Section 9.03(a), such payment of the Regulatory
Termination Fee shall constitute liquidated damages and be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective current or future stockholders, employees, directors, officers
or Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) against Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub and their respective current, former or future
Representatives (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) for all losses, damages, costs or expenses in respect of this Agreement (or the termination thereof) or the
Transactions (or the failure of such transactions to occur for any reason or for no reason) or any breach of any covenant or agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection
herewith, and upon payment of the Regulatory Termination Fee, none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any further monetary liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, and none of the Company, its
Subsidiaries or any other Company Related Party shall seek to recover any other monetary damages; provided, however, that (x) Section 7.19(c) shall survive any such termination and (y) in the event of any Intentional Breach by Parent, First Merger Sub
or Second Merger Sub prior to such termination, the Company shall be entitled to the payment of the Regulatory Termination Fee (to the extent owed pursuant to Section 9.03(a))
and to seek any damages (including, for the avoidance of doubt, damages of the type referred to in Section 11.05(ii)), to the extent proven, resulting from or arising out
of such Intentional Breach (as reduced by any Regulatory Termination Fee paid by Parent).
Section 9.04 Continuation Payments; Additional Termination Payment; Equity Issuance Fees and Expenses. (a) In the event (i) the Effective Time has not occurred on or before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December
20, 2020, and (ii) the Company is not in breach in any material respect of its obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have proximately caused the
failure of the Effective Time to occur prior to the date on which a Continuation Payment (as defined below) is due, Parent shall make a payment to the Company of $35 million (each, a “Continuation
Payment”), by wire transfer on the next Business Day following such date and on the 20th day of each month thereafter until the earlier of (a) the Closing Date or (b) the termination of this Agreement by either Parent or
the Company pursuant to Section 9.01 (such date, the “Continuation End Date”); provided, however, that Parent shall have no obligation to make any Continuation Payment which is
an Excess Continuation Payment unless and until the Company Conditions have been satisfied (it being understood that any Excess Continuation Payment(s) that would have been required to be paid if the Company Conditions have been satisfied will be
paid by Parent to the Company promptly following satisfaction of the Company Conditions); provided, further,
that the Company may waive Parent’s obligation to make any
Excess Continuation Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, no additional Continuation Payments shall be payable by Parent in relation to periods after the Continuation End
Date.
(b) In the event that this Agreement is
terminated in a circumstance where the Regulatory Termination Fee becomes payable by Parent in accordance with Section 9.03 and subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by
Parent) of the Company Conditions (unless Parent’s material breach of this Section 9.04 is the proximate cause of the failure of such Company Conditions to be satisfied),
at the Company’s election, by written notice to Parent no later than the date which is ten (10) Business Days after such termination, Parent shall pay to the Company an additional amount specified by the Company up to $300 million (the “Additional Termination Payment”) on or prior to the date which is three (3) Business Days after the later of: (i) the date of the Company’s written election referred to in
this Section 9.04(b), and (ii) the satisfaction of the Company Conditions (unless Parent’s breach of this Section 9.04
is the proximate cause of the failure of such Company Conditions to be satisfied, in which case the Additional Termination Payment shall be payable upon the date specified in clause (i)).
(c) Upon the date which is the later of (i)
sixty (60) days after the date of termination of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”), and (ii) three (3) Business Days after satisfaction or waiver (where permissible)
of the Issuance Conditions, as consideration for any Excess Continuation Payments and the Additional Termination Payment, in each case, actually made by Parent, as applicable, the Company shall (x) issue and deliver to Parent a number of validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock equal to (I) (A) the aggregate amount of Excess Continuation Payments actually paid by Parent to the Company, plus (B) the amount of the Additional Termination Payment
actually paid by Parent to the Company ((A) plus (B) being the “Investment Amount”), minus (C) an amount (if any) specified by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Reduction Amount”), divided by (II) the Issue Price (the “Equity Issuance”), and (y) pay to Parent
the Reduction Amount (if any); provided that, prior to consummation of the Equity Issuance, the Company may elect (in its sole discretion) to pay to Parent an amount of
cash equal to the Investment Amount, and, upon such payment being made to Parent, the Company shall have no further liability pursuant to this Section 9.04 and, for the
avoidance of doubt, will not be obliged to consummate the Equity Issuance or follow the process set forth in Section 9.04(f).
(d) The Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause the Company Conditions to be satisfied prior to the earlier to occur of (i) in circumstances where the Regulatory Termination Fee is payable, the Termination Date, and (ii) prior to the date that the first payment by Parent to
the Company of any Excess Continuation Payment is payable. Parent irrevocably agrees that it shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to), upon the written request of the Company, vote any shares of capital stock of the Company held by it to approve
all matters and execute any written consents and/or amendments or restatements of the Investor Agreements, in each case as are reasonably necessary to satisfy the Company Conditions.
(e) As used in this Section 9.04:
(i) “Class A-1 Common Stock” shall mean a series of common stock of the Company having substantially the same terms as the Class A Common
Stock, except that (1) shares of Class A-1 Common Stock shall have no voting rights and (2) upon the transfer by the holder thereof to a third party, a
share of Class A-1 Common Stock shall automatically convert into a share of Class A Common Stock if such conversion satisfies the Regulatory Condition.
(ii) “Company Conditions” shall mean:
(A) The Company shall
have received all necessary stockholder and other corporate approvals and adopted and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, in a form consistent with this Section 9.04, creating and authorizing the issuance of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock, Class A-1 Common Stock and Class A Common Stock into
which such Series E-1 Preferred Stock may be converted
(B) The Company shall
have either (x) received such waivers as are reasonably required under its certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the Investor Agreements to permit the consummation of the Equity Issuance, including the waiver of any preemptive rights, rights of
first offer, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company with respect to the Equity Issuance, or (y) notified the Parent that it has complied, or intends to comply, with any such preemptive rights, rights of first
offer, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company with respect to the Equity Issuance (it being understood that the Company may, at its election, issue additional shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock to such
stockholders above and beyond the amount of shares to be issued to Parent in the Equity Issuance (assuming there is no Reduction Amount) or adjust the number of shares to be issued to Parent in the Equity Issuance by specifying a Reduction Amount).
(C) Amendments to each of
the Investor Agreements to include the Series E-1 Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock in the definition of “Preferred Stock” and to define “Class A Common Stock” to include shares of Class A-1 Common Stock in each such Investor
Agreement, in each case in a consistent with this Section 9.04, shall have been approved and adopted.

(iv) “Issuance Conditions” shall mean the Regulatory Condition and the Company Conditions.
(v) “Issue Price” shall mean $8 billion divided by the Company Fully Diluted Share Count (with the reference to the Effective Time in the definition of “Company Fully Diluted Share
Count” deemed to be a reference to the date of the Equity Issuance).
(vi) “Regulatory Condition” shall mean (A) no Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law, whether temporary, preliminary or
permanent, which is then in effect and has the effect of enjoining, restraining, prohibiting or otherwise preventing the Equity Issuance, (B) no Action by a Governmental Authority seeking such Law shall be pending, and (C) any waiting period under
the HSR Act, if applicable, shall have expired or been terminated.
(vii) “Series E Preferred Stock” shall mean a series of preferred stock of the Company having substantially the same terms as the Series A Preferred Stock, except that the Original
Issue Price (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation) shall be equal to the Issue Price.
(viii) “Series E-1 Preferred Stock” shall mean a series of preferred stock of the Company having substantially the same terms as the Series A Preferred Stock, except that (i) the
Original Issue Price (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation) of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock shall be equal to the Issue Price, (ii) shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights (including with respect to a
vote on mandatory conversion in connection with a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation)), other than the right to approve (x) the amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the certificate of incorporation
or bylaws of the Company in a manner that alters or changes the powers, preferences or rights of the shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock so as to adversely affect them disproportionately to any other series or class of stock (it being understood
that the creation of a new series of preferred stock shall not be deemed to alter or change the powers, preferences, or rights of the Series E-1 Preferred Stock or otherwise require the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of the
Series E-1 Preferred Stock), and (y) any waiver of any adjustment to the conversion price for the Series E-1 Preferred Stock, (iii) holders of Series E-1 Preferred Stock will have no rights to designate a member of the Company Board, (iv) upon

shall otherwise be convertible into shares of Class A-1 Common Stock on substantially the same terms on which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock.
(f) In the event that a Governmental
Authority shall, pursuant to any applicable Antitrust Law, have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law, which shall have become final and nonappealable, that has the effect of enjoining, restraining, prohibiting or otherwise
preventing the satisfaction of the Regulatory Condition or the consummation of the Equity Issuance on or before the date which is 180 days after the Termination Date (the “Equity
Issuance End Date”), then Parent shall nonetheless be obligated to make the Excess Continuation Payments and the Additional Termination Payment to the extent otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 9.04; provided that:
(i) for a period of 60
days after the Equity Issuance End Date, the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to structure the Equity Issuance in a manner that is in compliance with applicable Law (including arranging for the Equity Issuance to be made in favor of
a nominee of Parent or such other arrangement as is mutually agreed between the Company and Parent);
(ii) if, after such 60
day period, neither the Equity Issuance nor an alternative structure contemplated by clause (i) have been consummated, the Company shall (subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence of this clause (ii)) (x) from such date until the date
which is 24 months after the Termination Date (the “Alternative Financing End Date”), use its commercially reasonable efforts to carry out one or more bona fide equity
capital raises (each, an “Alternative Capital Raise”) in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock, and (y) if any Alternative Capital Raise is consummated prior to the
Alternative Financing End Date, pay to Parent an amount equal to the lesser of (A)(I) the lesser of (a)(1) the number of shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock that would have been issued pursuant to the Equity Issuance (and have not yet been covered
by an Alternative Capital Raise pursuant to this Section 9.04(f)(ii)), and (2) the actual number of shares issued on the Alternative Capital Raise, multiplied by (II) the
price per security obtained by the Company on the Alternative Capital Raise minus (b) the costs and expenses incurred by Company in connection with such Alternative Capital Raise, and (B) the Investment Amount;
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.04(f), at any time between the Equity Issuance End Date and the Alternative Financing End Date, the Company may elect (in its sole discretion) to pay to Parent an
amount of cash equal to the Investment Amount, and, upon such payment being made to Parent, the Company shall have no further obligations or liability pursuant to this Section 9.04
in respect of the Excess Continuation Payments and the Additional Termination Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.04, except in the event
of an Intentional Breach of this Section 9.04 by the Company, with effect from the Alternative Financing End Date, the Company shall have no obligations or liability
pursuant to this Section 9.04 or in respect of the Excess Continuation Payments and the Additional Termination Payment.
(g) Until the Equity Issuance End Date,
solely in connection with the Equity Issuance and/or the alternative structure contemplated by Section 9.04(f)(i), the Company will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to reasonably cooperate with Parent to obtain any required approvals under Antitrust Laws in connection with the Equity Issuance and/or such alternative structure by: (i) providing Parent with such information as Parent reasonably requests
in writing in connection with making any filings required under Antitrust Laws, (ii) at Parent’s reasonable request (and at Parent’s sole cost and expense) making such administrative filings with Governmental Authorities that are required by
Antitrust Law to be made by the Company in connection with the Equity Issuance or such alternative structure, (iii) at Parent’s reasonable request (and at Parent’s sole cost and expense), attending and participating in meetings with any
Governmental Authorities which are reasonably required in connection with obtaining clearance under Antitrust Laws, (iv) promptly notifying Parent of any written or material oral communication from any Governmental Authority relating to such
approvals or clearance, (v)
subject to applicable Law and to the extent reasonably practicable, permit Parent to review and comment on any substantive written communication regarding the Equity
Issuance or such alternative structure prior to providing such communication to any Governmental Authority and (vi) to extent reasonably practicable, not agree to participate, or permit its Subsidiaries or Representatives to participate, in any
substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority with respect to the Equity Issuance or such alternative structure unless it consults with Parent in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority and reasonably
practicable, gives Parent the opportunity to attend and participate. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any provision in this Section 9.04(g), nothing in this
Section 9.04(g) shall obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to offer, agree to or accept any commitment, remedy, undertaking or Order of any kind.
Section 9.05 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by action taken by or on behalf of their respective boards of directors at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after the Company Stockholder Approvals have been obtained, no amendment
may be made that under applicable Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such approval having been obtained. This Agreement may not be amended except
by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.05, none of Section 5.08, Section 7.18, Section 7.19, Section 9.05, Section 11.05, Section 11.07
and Section 11.09 (or any other provision of this Agreement the amendment or waiver of which has the effect of modifying such Sections) may be amended, modified,
terminated or waived in a manner that is adverse to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of such Financing Sources (it being expressly agreed that the Financing Sources in their capacities as such shall be third party
beneficiaries of this Section 9.05 and shall be entitled to the protections of the provisions contained in this Section 9.05 as if they were a party to this Agreement).
Section 9.06 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, waive any breach of or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any other party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive compliance
with any agreement of any other party or any condition to its own obligations contained in this Agreement. No extension or waiver by the Company shall require the approval of the stockholders of the Company, unless required by applicable Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company or Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other or future exercise of any other right hereunder. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.
Section 9.07 Procedure for Termination or Amendment. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 or an amendment of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 9.04 shall, in order to be effective, require, in the case of Parent or the Company, action by its board of directors or, with respect to
any amendment of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 9.04, the duly authorized committee of its board of directors to the extent permitted
by applicable Law.
ARTICLE X
CVR HOLDER REPRESENTATIVE
Section 10.01 Designation and Replacement of CVR Holder Representative. The parties have agreed that it is desirable to designate a
representative to act on behalf of those holders of Company Stock and Company Equity Awards who receive CVRs pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (each, a “Holder”) for all purposes under the CVR Agreement (the “CVR Holder Representative”). The Company (and, upon execution of a Letter of Transmittal, each Holder) will, promptly following the date hereof, subject to the prior written consent of Parent (not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), designate an initial CVR Holder Representative, and appoint the CVR Holder Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the other Holders for all purposes under the CVR
Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company may appoint Fortis Advisors LLC (or any of its Affiliates) or Shareholder Representative Services LLC (or any of its Affiliates) as the CVR Holder Representative without Parent’s consent. The CVR Holder Representative may resign at any
time by five days’ prior written notice to Parent. The CVR Holder Representative may be removed pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement. In the event that the CVR Holder Representative has resigned or been removed, a new CVR Holder
Representative, as applicable, shall concurrently be appointed pursuant to the CVR Agreement. All power, authority, rights and privileges conferred in this Agreement and the CVR Agreement to the initial CVR Holder Representative will apply to any
successor CVR Holder Representative. The designation of any Person as a CVR Holder Representative is and shall be coupled with an interest, and, except as set forth in this Article X, such designation is irrevocable and shall not be affected by the death, incapacity, illness, bankruptcy, dissolution or other
inability to act of any of the stockholders of the Company.
Section 10.02 Authority and Rights of the CVR Holder Representative; Limitations on Liability. The CVR Holder Representative shall have such powers and authority as are necessary to carry out the
functions, on behalf of the Holders, assigned to it under the CVR Agreement, as applicable; provided, however,
that the CVR Holder Representative shall have no obligation to act, except as expressly provided herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Holder agrees that the CVR Holder Representative has full power, authority and
discretion, on behalf of each Holder and his, her or its successors and assigns, to (a) interpret the terms and provisions of the CVR Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered by the Holders in connection therewith, (b) execute and
deliver and receive deliveries of all agreements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the CVR Agreement, as applicable, (c) receive service of process in connection with any claims under the CVR Agreement or any document or agreement contemplated to be executed or delivered in connection with the CVR
Agreement, (d) agree to, negotiate and enter into settlements and compromises of, and assume the defense of, claims, and demand arbitration and comply with Orders and awards of arbitrators
with respect to such claims, and take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgement of the CVR Holder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, (e)
give and receive notices and communications, and (f) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the CVR Holder Representative in connection with the CVR Agreement. All actions taken by the CVR Holder Representative under the CVR
Agreement shall be binding upon the Holders and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of them. The CVR Holder Representative shall not, in its capacity as such, have any liability to any Holder with respect to
actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as the CVR Holder Representative, except that the CVR Holder Representative will be liable for its willful misconduct or actual fraud, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
from which no further appeal may be taken. The CVR Holder Representative shall at all times be entitled to rely on any directions received from the Majority Holders (as defined in the CVR Agreement); provided, however, that the CVR Holder Representative shall not be required to follow any such direction, and shall be under no obligation to
take any action in its capacity as the CVR Holder Representative, unless the CVR Holder Representative has been provided with other funds, security or indemnities which, in the sole determination of the CVR Holder Representative are sufficient to
protect the CVR Holder Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the CVR Holder Representative in responding to such direction or taking such action. At no cost to the Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger
Sub or the Company, the CVR Holder Representative shall be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as it shall deem necessary in connection with exercising its powers and performing its function hereunder and (in the
absence of bad faith on the part of the CVR Holder Representative) shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such Persons. The CVR Holder Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Holders or the holders of
the CVRs, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including fees and disbursements of their counsel, experts and other agents and consultants) incurred by the CVR Holder Representative in such capacity, and shall be
entitled to indemnification from the Holders against any loss, liability or expenses arising out of actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as the CVR Holder Representative (except in each case for those arising out of the CVR Holder
Representative’s, as applicable, gross negligence or willful misconduct), including the costs and expenses of investigation and defense of claims. Parent and the Company shall be able to rely conclusively (without liability) on any instructions given
and actions taken by the CVR Holder Representative as the instruction and decision of each Holder in all matters referred to therein, including instructions with respect to the payment and distribution of any amounts payable pursuant to or in
relation to the CVR Agreement. No Holder shall have any cause of action against Parent or the Company for any action taken by Parent or the Company in reliance upon the written instructions or decisions of the CVR Holder Representative, or otherwise
on account of payments or distributions made by or on behalf of Parent in accordance with the instructions of the CVR Holder Representative. The annual administration or retainer fees payable to the CVR Holder Representative shall be borne by
Parent. Other than such annual administration or retainer fees, none of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries shall be responsible for or pay any other fees, expenses or other costs of the CVR Holder Representative. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article X, in the event of a conflict between the terms of the CVR Agreement and this Article X, the CVR Agreement shall control.
ARTICLE XI

pursuant hereto shall terminate at the Effective Time, except for those covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article II, Article III, Section 7.04, Section 7.05,
Article X and this Article XI) that by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part

following the Effective Time, none of Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of Company Stock or Company Equity Awards (each, an “Equityholder”)

statute or otherwise. The provisions of and the limited remedies provided in this Section 11.01 were specifically bargained for among the parties and were taken into
account by the parties in arriving at the Merger Consideration. After the Closing, no party or its Affiliates may seek the rescission of the Transactions.

Section 11.03 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by virtue of any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions
of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in
order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
Section 11.04 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto, including the Company Disclosure Letter), the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement
constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject
matter hereof and thereof. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties, in whole or in part
(whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub may assign all or any of their rights and obligations under this
Agreement to any Affiliate of Parent, provided that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations under this Agreement if such assignee does not
perform such obligations.
Section 11.05 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure solely to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, only the parties hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except (i) as specifically provided in Section 7.05,
Section 7.18, Section 7.19, Section 9.05,
Section 11.05, Section 11.07 and Section 11.09 (which is intended to be for the benefit of the Persons expressly covered thereby and may be enforced by such Persons) and (ii) that the Company shall have the right to pursue damages on behalf of its
stockholders in the event of Parent’s, First Merger Sub’s or Second Merger Sub’s Intentional Breach of this Agreement, which right is hereby acknowledged by Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub.
Section 11.06 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that the parties hereto would be irreparably damaged if any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was
otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy at law
or in equity. The parties further agree that no party to this Agreement shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such legal or equitable relief and each party
waives any objection to the imposition of such relief or any right it might have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
Section 11.07 Governing Law. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provisions or
rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions shall
be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or in the event, but only in the event, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) or, if subject matter jurisdiction over the action or proceeding is vested exclusively in the federal courts of the United States
of America, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and, in each case, the appellate court(s) therefrom). The parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State
of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or in the event, but only in the event, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State
of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division)
or, if subject matter jurisdiction over the action or proceeding is vested exclusively in the federal courts of the United States of America, the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware and, in each case, the appellate court(s) therefrom) for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions brought by any party hereto, (ii) irrevocably waive, and agree not
to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above‑named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by the above‑named courts, and (iii) agree that such party will not bring any Action arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or in the event, but only in the event, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have subject matter
jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) or, if subject matter jurisdiction over the action or proceeding is vested exclusively in the federal courts of the United States of America, the United States
District Court for the District of Delaware). Service of process, summons, notice or document to any party’s address and in the manner set forth in Section 11.02 shall be
effective service of process for any such action.
(b) Each of the parties hereto and each
Affiliate of Parent acknowledges and irrevocably agrees (i) that any Action (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising out of, or in any way relating to, the Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related
thereto against or by any Financing Source in its capacity as such shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and any appellate court therefrom, and each
party hereto submits for itself and its property with respect to any such Action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) not to bring or permit any of its Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such Action in any
other court, (iii) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such
Action in any such court, (iv) that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law and (v) that any such Action shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York (it being expressly agreed that the Financing Sources in their capacities as such shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 11.07 and shall be entitled to enforce the
provisions contained in this Section 11.07 as if they were a party to this Agreement).
Section 11.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or .pdf) in counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
SECTION 11.09 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO AND EACH AFFILIATE OF PARENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT
ISSUES, AND THEREFORE, EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO AND EACH AFFILIATE OF PARENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS (INCLUDING THE COMMITMENT LETTER AND ANY FINANCING CONTEMPLATED BY PARENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT). EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE
THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 11.09.
Section 11.10 Non-Assertion of Attorney-Client Privilege. Parent acknowledges that Latham & Watkins LLP and other legal counsel (“Prior
Company Counsel”) have, on or prior to the Closing Date, represented one or more of the Selling Investors, Equityholders, the Company, and its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and their respective officers, employees and directors
(each such Person, other than the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees, a “Designated Person”) in one or more matters relating to this
Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or such other agreements or in connection with such
transactions) (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s planned initial public offering) (each, an “Existing Representation”). Each of Parent and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any
attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or expectation of client confidence with respect to any communication between any Prior Company Counsel, on the one hand, and any Designated Person or the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Designated Persons”),
or any advice given to any Pre-Closing Designated Person by any Prior Company Counsel, occurring during one or more Existing Representations in connection with any representation by one or more Prior Company Counsel of one or more Designated
Persons, in each case, in connection with one or more post-Closing matters relating to this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising
under or related to this Agreement or such other agreements or in connection with such transactions) (collectively, “Pre-Closing Privileges”), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all rights to such Pre-Closing Privileges, and all rights to waiver or otherwise control such Pre-Closing Privilege,
shall be retained by such Designated Persons and shall not pass to or be claimed or used by Parent or the Company, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 11.10. Furthermore, each of Parent and the
Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) acknowledges and agrees that any advice given to or communication with any of the Designated Persons in connection with any Existing
Representation shall not be subject to any joint privilege (whether or not the Company or one more of its Subsidiaries also received such advice or communication) and shall
be owned solely by such Designated Persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that a dispute arises between Parent or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a third party other than a Designated Person, on the
other hand, the Company may assert the Pre-Closing Privileges on behalf of the Designated Persons to prevent disclosure to such third party, provided, however, that such privilege may be waived only with the prior written consent of the Designated Persons, acting on behalf of the applicable Designated Persons (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (ii) the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.10 shall not extend to any communication or materials not
involving the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any claims brought in connection with such transactions or this Agreement.
Section 11.11 Release by Equityholders. (a) Effective as of the Effective Time, upon execution of a Letter of Transmittal, each Equityholder, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and each of his, her or its
past, present and future controlled Affiliates, parent(s) and subsidiary companies, representatives, and assigns (each, an “Equityholder Releasing Party” and,
collectively, the “Equityholder Releasing Parties”) will absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably release, acquit and forever discharge the Company and each of its
respective past, present and future controlled Affiliates, parent(s) and subsidiary companies, joint ventures, predecessors, successors and assigns, and their respective past, present and future representatives, investors, equityholders, insurers
and indemnitees, firms, corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, trusts, associations, organizations, stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, partners, trustees, principals, consultants, contractors, family
members, heirs, executors, administrators, predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all manner of action or
inaction, cause or causes of action, Actions, Encumbrances, contractual obligations, promises, liabilities or damages (whether for compensatory, special, incidental or punitive damages, equitable relief or otherwise) of any kind or nature
whatsoever, past, present or future, at law, in equity or otherwise (including with respect to conduct which is negligent, grossly negligent, willful, intentional, with or without malice, or a breach of any duty, applicable Law or rule), whether
known or unknown, whether fixed or contingent, whether concealed or hidden, whether disclosed or undisclosed, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, whether anticipated or unanticipated, whether suspected or
unsuspected (“Claims”), which such Equityholder Releasing Parties, or any of them, ever have had or ever in the future may have against the Released Parties, or any of
them, in each case, to the extent arising solely as a result of the ownership or purported ownership of any of Company Stock, Company Stock Options or other security or interest of the Company and which, in each case, are based on acts, events or
omissions occurring prior to or contemporaneously with the Effective Time (the “Equityholder Released Claims”); provided, however, that the foregoing release shall not release, impair or diminish, and the term “Equityholder Released Claims” shall not include, in any respect (i) an Equityholder’s right pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
including the right to receive its respective portion of the Merger Consideration; (ii) any Claims for indemnification, insurance benefits, reimbursement or advancement of expenses in such Equityholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company under the Company’s
organizational documents or any indemnification agreement in effect as of the date hereof (or any fiduciary insurance policy maintained by the Company or the Surviving
Entity for the benefit of the Equityholder, or any indemnification agreements with the Equityholder
or its board designee) with respect to any act, omission, event or transaction occurring prior to or contemporaneously with the Effective Time; or (iii) the rights of any Equityholder
Releasing Party in his or her capacity as an employee of the Company.
(b) Upon execution of a Letter of
Transmittal, each Equityholder shall represent and acknowledge that he, she or it has read this release and the Merger Agreement and other Transaction Documents and
understands their terms and has been given sufficient opportunity to review this release and the Transaction Documents and to ask questions of the Company’s Representatives. Each Equityholder
will further represent that, in signing the Letter of Transmittal, he, she or it does not rely, and has not relied, on any representation or statement made by any Representative of the Company or any other Person with respect to the subject matter,
basis or effect of this release or otherwise, except such express representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.
(c) Without limiting the
generality of Section 11.11(a), with respect to the Equityholder Released Claims, each Equityholder,
upon execution of a Letter of Transmittal, will acknowledge that he, she or it is familiar with Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (“Section 1542”)
and expressly waive all rights under Section 1542 and any similar applicable Law or common law principle in any applicable jurisdiction prohibiting or restricting the waiver of unknown claims. Section 1542 reads as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER
FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542 or any similar applicable Law or common law principle in any applicable jurisdiction, upon execution of a Letter of Transmittal, each Equityholder will expressly acknowledge that the foregoing release is intended to include in its effect all claims within the scope of such release which any Equityholder does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor against any of the Released Parties (including, without limitation, unknown and contingent claims), and
that the foregoing release expressly contemplates the extinguishment of all such claims (except to the extent expressly set forth in this Section 11.11).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and the Company have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written
above by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.
