2.2

.
-
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time that are eligible under the DGCL to exercise appraisal rights and are held by a holder who (a)
has not voted in favor of or provided written consent with respect to this Agreement and the Merger, (b) has exercised and perfected
appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and (c) has not effectively withdrawn or lost such
appraisal rights (collectively, the "

such consideration for Company Stock set forth in Section 2.1(a), but rather such shares shall be converted into the right to receive
such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL.
-
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively
withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder's appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL then, as of the
later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder's shares shall automatically be converted into and represent

Excess Dissenting Share
Consideration

written approval of the Representative, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and all interest,
costs, expenses and fees as incurred by the Company, Parent or the Surviving Corporation in connection with the exercise of all rights
under Section 262 of the DGCL shall constitute "Damages" for purposes of this Agreement, and Parent and the

for) each Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that constitutes an In-the-Money Option held by a
Continuing Employee or any of those persons set forth on
Schedule 2.3(b)
(each such In-the-Money Option, an
"
Assumed Option
"). Each Assumed Option shall thereafter be exercisable, on substantially the same terms and
conditions as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, for a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (the "
Adjusted
Option Share Number
") equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option
immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by a fraction equal to the Total Amount Per Common Share, divided by the Parent
Average Closing Price (such fraction, the "
Option Share Conversion Rate
"), and rounded down to the nearest
whole share. The exercise price of each Assumed Option as assumed by Parent (the "
Adjusted Option Exercise
Price
") shall be equal to the exercise price of such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the
Option Share Conversion Rate, and rounded up to the nearest whole cent. As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten
Business Days, after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to holders of Assumed Options, at Parent's discretion, either a
replacement option agreement or a statement setting forth such holders' rights pursuant to the Assumed Options, including the number

shall terminate as of the Effective Time.
-10-
2.5

the Representative Fund Consideration and the Management Carve-Out Representative Fund Consideration (collectively, the
"
Representative Fund Amount
") to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as escrow agent (the
"
Escrow Agent
") pursuant to the provisions of the escrow agreement in the form attached as
Exhibit B
hereto, subject to any amendments to such form requested by the Escrow Agent and mutually agreed to by Parent and the
Representative (the "
Escrow Agreement
"). The Escrow Agreement shall be executed at the Closing by and among
Parent, the Representative, on behalf of the Indemnifying Securityholders, and the Escrow Agent, and shall provide Parent with
recourse against the shares of Parent Common Stock held in escrow as the Escrow Amount by the Escrow Agent (the
"
Escrow Shares
") with respect to any and all Parent Claims made under Section 14, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Escrow Agreement and in this Agreement. The Escrow Shares (or any portion thereof) shall be distributed to
the Indemnifying Securityholders and Parent at the times, and upon the terms and conditions, set forth in the Escrow Agreement. The
escrow described above shall commence at the Effective Time.
-
On the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the "
First Expiration Date
," and the
period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the First Expiration Date shall be referred to as the "
First Escrow
Period
"), if the number of Escrow Shares then in escrow exceeds two-thirds of the number of Escrow Shares deposited into
escrow at the time of Closing, as adjusted for any stock split, dividend or the like (the "
Two-Thirds Escrow
Number
"), then a number of Escrow Shares equal to the Two-Thirds Escrow Number shall be retained in escrow and the
remaining Escrow Shares shall be released to the Indemnifying Securityholders in accordance with the Escrow Agreement;
provided, however
, that if any Parent Claims remain unsatisfied on the First Expiration Date, no Escrow Shares shall be
released to the Indemnifying Securityholders if and to the extent that the release of such Escrow Shares would cause the number of
Escrow Shares remaining in escrow to be less than the sum of (i) the Two-Thirds Escrow Number, plus (ii) 100% of the number of
Escrow Shares which, in the reasonable judgment of Parent (subject to the objection of the Representative and the subsequent
resolution of the matter in the manner provided in Section 14.9), is necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied Parent Claims properly asserted
on a timely basis by a Parent Indemnified Party on or prior to the First Expiration Date in any Officer's Certificates delivered to the
Representative pursuant to Section 14.
-
On the 36-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the "
Second Expiration Date
," and
the period commencing immediately after the expiration of the First Escrow Period and ending on the Second Expiration Date shall be
referred to as the "
Second Escrow Period
"), any and all Escrow Shares that remain in escrow on such date shall
be released from escrow;
provided, however
, that the portion of the Escrow Shares which, in the reasonable judgment of Parent
(subject to the objection of the Representative and the subsequent resolution of the matter in the manner provided in Section 14.9), is
necessary to satisfy any unsatisfied Parent Claims properly asserted on a timely basis by a Parent Indemnified Party on or prior to the
First Expiration Date or Second Expiration Date, as applicable, in any Officer's Certificates delivered to the Representative pursuant to
Section 14 shall remain in the foregoing escrow until such claims have been finally resolved, or, if earlier, until released in accordance
with Section 14.9 below.
-
The number of Escrow Shares to be released to Parent in satisfaction of a resolved Parent Claim under the
Escrow Agreement shall be determined by dividing the amount of Damages determined to be payable to Parent by the Parent Average
Closing Price, and rounding down to the nearest whole share;
provided
,
however
, for each Parent Claim, each
Indemnifying Securityholder shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.5(d), to substitute cash in an
-11-
amount equal to some or all of such Indemnifying Securityholder's Pro Rata Share of such Parent Claim and to receive from escrow a
number of Escrow Shares equal to the amount of cash so substituted divided by the Parent Average Closing Price, rounded down to
the nearest share. Any Indemnifying Securityholder who elects to substitute cash in connection with the satisfaction of a Parent Claim
pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) must deliver to Parent (i) written notice specifying the amount of cash such Indemnifying Securityholder
elects to substitute pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) and (ii) a check for the full amount specified in such notice not later than the date on
which the Escrow Agent receives, as applicable, the memorandum or court order described in Section 4(b)(i) of the Escrow Agent or
the Parent Demand described in Section 4(b)(ii) of the Escrow Agreement. The Representative shall be responsible for notifying the
Indemnifying Securityholders of their substitution rights pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) in connection with each Parent Claim, and
Parent shall have no obligation under this Section 2.5(d) other than to permit an Indemnifying Securityholder who has provided timely
notice and payment to Parent to substitute cash as provided for herein.
-
The terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are specific
terms of the Merger, and the approval and adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger by the Indemnifying Securityholders
shall constitute approval by such Indemnifying Securityholders, as specific terms of the Merger, and the irrevocable agreement of such
Indemnifying Securityholders to be bound by and comply with, the Escrow Agreement and all of the arrangements and provisions of this
Agreement relating thereto, including the deposit of the Escrow Amount and Representative Fund Amount into escrow, the
indemnification obligations set forth in Section 14 hereof and the appointment and sole authority to act on behalf of the Indemnifying
Securityholders of the Representative, as provided for herein and in the Escrow Agreement.
-
For the avoidance of doubt, the Representative Fund Consideration constitutes a portion of the aggregate
consideration received by the holders of Company Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger and delivered
on behalf of such holders to the Escrow Agent. The Representative Fund Consideration shall be used by the Representative solely for
the payment of costs and expenses incurred by the Representative in connection with the performance of the Representative's duties
and obligations hereunder and under the Escrow Agreement. The Representative Fund Consideration shall be available to the
Representative in addition to any amounts permitted to be paid to the Representative pursuant to Section 15 of this Agreement. Parent
shall not have any responsibility or liability for the manner in which the Representative uses the Representative Fund Consideration or
any right or recourse to the Representative Fund Consideration.

Company shall determine and notify Parent of the amount of the Management Carve-Out Plan payments and Parent shall deliver a
corresponding number of shares of Parent Common Stock at the Parent Average Closing Price to the Company for (a) distribution of
the Management Carve-Out Closing Consideration to the participants in the Management Carve-Out Plan in accordance with the
Allocation Schedule and (b) distribution of the Management Carve-Out Escrow Consideration and the Management Carve-Out
Representative Fund Consideration to the Escrow Agent, in each case promptly after the Effective Time as contributions to the capital
of the Company. For administrative convenience, Parent may cause and direct Parent's transfer agent to issue stock certificates
directly to the respective participants in the Management Carve-Out Plan. The issuance and delivery by the Company of shares of
Parent Common Stock to and on behalf of each Management Carve-Out Plan participant shall be contingent upon such participant's
prior delivery to Parent of a general release in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent. Parent shall deduct from the number of shares
of Parent Common Stock issued to such participant a number of shares of Parent Common Stock calculated by dividing (i) the amount
of any Taxes required under Applicable Laws to be withheld by the Company by (ii) the Parent Average Closing Price, and shares so
withheld shall be deemed to satisfy in full such participant's withholding obligations with
-12-
respect to the delivery to such participant such shares of Parent Common Stock. The acceptance of Management Carve-Out Closing Consideration by the participants in the
Management Carve-Out Plan shall constitute the irrevocable agreement of such Indemnifying Securityholders to be bound by and
comply with, the Escrow Agreement and all of the arrangements and provisions of this Agreement relating thereto, including the deposit
of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Fund Amount into escrow, the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 14 hereof
and the appointment and sole authority to act on behalf of the Indemnifying Securityholders of the Representative, as provided for
herein and in the Escrow Agreement.

restrictions made applicable to the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued under this Agreement or any of the exhibits hereto
(including those contained in Sections 14 and 15 of this Agreement) and the Company Stockholder recipient's receipt of such shares
under this Agreement or any of the exhibits hereto ("
Letter of Transmittal
"), which shall include, among other
things, the agreement of the surrendering Company Stockholders to the appointment of the Representative, the indemnification of the
Representative and a release of claims as set forth in Section 16 of this Agreement and (B) instructions for use in effecting the
surrender of certificate(s) representing all of the shares of Company Stock held by such Company Stockholder in exchange for the
Closing Consideration and the right to receive future payment of any Escrow Consideration and Representative Fund Consideration.
The payment of the Closing Consideration and future Escrow Consideration and Representative Fund Consideration with respect to
each such certificate is conditioned upon (1) the execution and delivery of the Letter of Transmittal, (2) a representation by the
Company Stockholder that such Company Stockholder owns all right, title and interest to all shares of Company Stock registered in the
name of such Company Stockholder and (3) the delivery of such certificates related thereto (or an affidavit of loss with respect to such
certificates). As soon as practicable after receipt by the Exchange Agent of such certificate(s), properly endorsed or otherwise in proper
form for transfer, for cancellation (or affidavit, as applicable), together with such duly executed Letter of Transmittal, the Exchange
Agent shall, in exchange therefor, pay to such Company Stockholder the Closing Consideration payable in respect of the shares of
Company Stock formerly represented by the certificate(s) surrendered, but without any interest earned thereon, and the certificate(s) so
surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of any portion of the applicable Closing Consideration is to be made to a person,
firm, entity, partnership, association or any business organization or division thereof (each a "
Person
") other than
the Person in whose name the surrendered certificate(s) are registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Person requesting
such payment (A) shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of those amounts to a Person other
than the registered holder of the certificate(s) surrendered, and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such
Taxes have been paid, or (B) shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that no such Tax is applicable. From and after the
Effective Time, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.8(b), each certificate formerly representing shares of Company
Stock (other than any Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed to represent for all purposes only the right to receive the portion of the
Closing Consideration, Escrow Consideration and Representative Fund Consideration as provided pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, if
any, in respect of such shares of Company Stock formerly represented thereby in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner
provided herein. In connection with the surrender of the certificates representing shares of Company stock each Company Stockholder
will be required to acknowledge that all the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor will be subject to the Transfer
Restrictions.

transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Company Stock on the records of the Company. From
-14-

ownership of the shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with
respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein (including the right to receive the portion of the Closing Consideration,
Escrow Consideration and Representative Fund Consideration as provided pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof) or by Applicable Law.

presented certificate representing shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Expiration Date, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any shares of Parent
Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares that have not been disbursed to Company Stockholders, other than property held in
escrow, and Parent shall be entitled to cancel any such shares (in each case subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar
requirements under Applicable Law). Thereafter, such Company Stockholders shall be entitled to look only to Parent or the Surviving
Corporation upon due surrender of their certificates formerly representing shares of Company Stock or rights to purchase such shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub, the Representative or the Exchange Agent shall
be liable to any holder of a certificate formerly representing shares of Company Stock for any amounts delivered to a public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.
-
Withholding Rights

entitled to deduct and withhold from payment of any amounts (or any portion thereof) payable pursuant to this Agreement to, or on
behalf of, any Company Stockholder, Management Carve-Out Plan participant or any other Person, and the Escrow Agent shall be
entitled to deduct and withhold from payment of any such Person's Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount or the Representative Fund
Amount (or any portion thereof) otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any such Person, such amounts as may be required
to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"
Code
"), or any other Applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld (and remitted in accordance with
Applicable Law to the appropriate Taxing Authority) by Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or the Escrow Agent,
such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Stockholder or such
other Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code (including for
purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), any Person's right to receive installment payments under this Agreement
shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all
times be considered a separate and distinct payment.
-
Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates
. In the event any certificate(s) which formerly represented
shares of Company Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making and delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the
Company Stockholder thereof in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the execution and delivery of a letter of transmittal in
accordance with Section 2.8(b), Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to pay such Company Stockholder the applicable Closing
Consideration as provided in this Section 2;
provided, however
, that Parent may, in its reasonable discretion, acting in good
faith, and as a condition precedent to issuing such instruction to the Exchange Agent, require the owner of such lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate(s) to deliver an agreement of indemnification in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and a bond in such
reasonable and customary sum as Parent may reasonably direct as indemnity, against any claim that may be made against Parent, the
Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the certificate(s) alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.

ERISA Affiliate
") under Section 414
of the Code or Section 4001(b) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("
ERISA
").
Each of the arrangements set forth on Section 3.13(a) of the Disclosure Schedule is referred to herein as a "
Company
Employee Plan
").
-
The Company has heretofore delivered or made available to Parent true, correct and complete copies of
each Company Employee Plan (or if such Company Employee Plan is not written, an accurate description of the material terms
thereof), and with respect to each such Company Employee Plan true, correct and complete copies of (i) any associated trust,

Each Company Employee Plan is and has heretofore been maintained and operated in material
compliance with the terms of such Company Employee Plan and with the requirements prescribed (whether as a matter of substantive
law or, solely with respect to Qualified Plans, as necessary to secure favorable Tax treatment) by any and all statutes, governmental or
court orders, or governmental rules or regulations in effect from time to time, including but not limited to ERISA and the Code, and
applicable to such Company Employee Plan. Each Company Employee Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the
Code (a "
Qualified Plan
") and each trust or other entity intended to qualify as a "voluntary employees'
beneficiary association" within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code and associated with any Company Employee Plan is
expressly identified as such on Section 3.13(c) of the Disclosure Schedule and has been determined to be so qualified by the Internal
Revenue Service (or, where there is no determination letter but the Qualified Plan is based upon a master and prototype or volume
submitter form, the sponsor of such form has received a current advisory opinion as to the form upon which the Company is entitled to
rely under applicable Internal Revenue Service procedures) and, to the Knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred as to each
which has resulted or is likely to result in the revocation of such qualification or which requires or is likely to require action under the
compliance resolution programs of the Internal Revenue Service to preserve such qualification.

Neither the Company nor its ERISA Affiliates maintain, sponsor or contribute to any single employer plan
(as such term is defined in Section 4001(b) of ERISA) subject to Title IV of ERISA or contribute to or have ever had any obligation to
contribute to any "multiemployer plan" (as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), nor have they incurred any
liability, including withdrawal liability, with respect to any such Plan or any such multiemployer plan that remains unsatisfied. Neither
the Company nor its ERISA Affiliates has incurred any liability contingent or otherwise to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
(other than insurance premiums satisfied in due course). No Company Employee Plan is or was at any time a multiple employer plan,
as described in Section 413(c) of the Code or Sections 4063 or 4064 of ERISA, or a multiple employer welfare arrangement, as that
term is defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA, and neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever contributed to or had an obligation
to contribute to any such plan.
-
The Company has, in all material respects, timely made all payments and contributions (including
insurance premiums) due and payable through the Closing Date to each Company Employee Plan as required to be made under the
terms of such plan and Applicable Law. The fair market value of the assets of each Company Employee Plan, as of the end of the most
recently ended plan year of that Company Employee Plan, equaled or exceeded the present value of all benefits liabilities under that
Company Employee Plan. None of the assets of any Company Employee Plan include any capital stock or other securities issued by
the Company or any ERISA Affiliate.
-
With respect to all Company Employee Plans and related trusts, and any person who is a party in interest
in respect of a Company Employee Plan within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA, there are no "prohibited
transactions," as that term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, that have occurred which could
subject the Company to any material Tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code.
-
There are no legal actions, proceedings, suits, arbitrations, governmental investigations or claims (other
than routine claims for benefits by employees, consultants, independent contractors or directors of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries
or any ERISA Affiliate, excluding consultants and independent contractors who are not individuals (collectively, "
Service
Providers
"), beneficiaries or dependents of such Service Providers arising in the normal course of operation of a Company
Employee Plan) pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, with respect to any Company Employee Plan or any
fiduciary, service provider or sponsor of a Company Employee Plan with respect to their duties under such
-30-
Company Employee Plan or the assets of any trust under any such Company Employee Plan nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any basis for any such
actions, proceedings, suits, arbitrations, governmental investigations or claims.
-
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligations under any Company Employee Plan to
provide medical or other welfare benefits to any Service Provider or any former Service Provider, or any beneficiary or dependent of
any Service Provider or former Service Provider, subsequent to termination of employment, other than statutory liability for providing
group health plan continuation coverage under Part 6 of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code or applicable state
law.
-
Neither the negotiation or execution of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement will, either alone or in combination with another event (regardless of whether that other event has or
will occur), (i) entitle any current or former Service Provider to severance pay, unemployment compensation or any other payment or
additional rights, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting of or require any
funding (including through any rabbi trust) of any benefit or increase the amount of compensation payable to or in respect of any such
current or former Service Provider.
-
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to, or otherwise obligated under, any contract,
agreement, plan or arrangement covering any person that, individually or collectively, could give rise to the payment of any amount that
would not be deductible by Parent, the Company or any of their respective affiliates by reason of Section 280G of the Code or that
could be subject to Section 4999 of the Code.
-
No plan, program, arrangement or agreement under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any
outstanding liability or obligation constitutes in whole or in any part, a nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code.
-
All Options have been granted or issued at an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the
underlying Company Common Stock at the date of grant or issuance, as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and
applicable guidance thereunder (including the final regulations promulgated thereunder), and none of the Options or any other
Company Securities or agreements constitute "deferred compensation" under Section 409A of the Code. Each Option
intended to qualify as an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code so qualifies. The treatment
of each Option under this Agreement in the transactions contemplated hereby is consistent with the terms of the Option Plan and the
applicable award or grant agreement.
-
The Company has no liability, including under any Company Employee Plan, arising out of the treatment of
any service provider as a consultant or independent contractor and not as an employee.
-
No Company Employee Plan is subject to the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United
States.

terminate any Company Employee Plan or adopt any arrangement or program, which, once established, would come within the
definition of a Company Employee Plan.
-
The Company has not undertaken to maintain any Company Employee Plan for any period of time and
each such Company Employee Plan is terminable at the sole discretion of
-31-
the sponsor thereof, subject only to such constraints as may be imposed by Applicable Law, and without penalty or cost (other than routine administrative costs).

the applicable patent office file history of any Company Patent (a complete copy of which the Company has delivered to Parent), to the

party or is otherwise bound relating to any of the Company Intellectual Property, nor to the Company's Knowledge has there been any
event or occurrence that would constitute such a breach,
-32-
violation or default (with or without the lapse of time, giving of notice or both).
Each such agreement is in full force and effect, and, to the Company's Knowledge, no party obligated to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries pursuant to any such agreement is in default thereunder. Immediately following the Closing Date, the Surviving

to the Company's Knowledge, will not when conducted by Parent and/or Surviving Corporation following the Closing, infringe upon,
dilute or misappropriate any Intellectual Property or other proprietary right owned by any third party, violate any right of any person
(including any right to privacy or publicity), or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction where the

rights to the Company and its Subsidiaries and except as set forth on Section 3.14(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, have delivered true
