Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Merger Agreement
On February 9, 2023, Sumo Logic, Inc. (“Sumo Logic”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Serrano Parent, LLC (“Parent”) and Serrano Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Sumo Logic (the “Merger”), with Sumo Logic continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Francisco Partners Management, L.P. (“Francisco Partners”).
Sumo Logic’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) unanimously determined that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, are in the best interests of Sumo Logic and its stockholders, and approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Board also unanimously resolved to recommend that Sumo Logic’s stockholders vote to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger.
Also on February 9, 2023, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, investment funds affiliated with Francisco Partners delivered to Sumo Logic an Equity Commitment Letter pursuant to which such investment funds committed to invest in Parent, the cash amounts set forth therein for the purpose of funding up to the full amount of the aggregate merger consideration payable and all related fees and expenses, subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter. Sumo Logic is a third party beneficiary of the Equity Commitment Letter and is entitled to enforce the investment commitment, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock of Sumo Logic, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to certain exceptions, including shares of Common Stock owned by stockholders of Sumo Logic who have not voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement or the Merger nor consented to the Merger and have properly exercised appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”)) will, at the Effective Time, automatically be converted into the right to receive $12.05 in cash without interest thereon (the “Per Share Price”), subject to applicable withholding taxes.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock that is subject to vesting, repurchase or other lapse restriction that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest in full and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Price.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock that is vested or vests at the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and converted solely into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such vested option multiplied by (2) the excess, if any, of (a) the Per Share Price over (b) the exercise price per share of such vested option, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes. Each outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock that is not vested at the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and converted solely into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash equal to (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such unvested option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the excess, if any, of (a) the Per Share Price over (b) the exercise price per share of such unvested option, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, which resulting payment will be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as applied to such unvested options immediately prior to the Effective Time. Any option to purchase shares of Common Stock that has an exercise price per share that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Price will be automatically cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each of Sumo Logic’s outstanding restricted stock units that is not subject to any performance-based vesting conditions (a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding and vested (but not yet settled) or vests at the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and converted solely into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such vested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Per Share Price, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes. Each Company RSU that is not vested at the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and converted solely into the contingent right to receive an aggregate amount in cash equal to (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Per Share Price, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, which resulting payment will be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as applied to such unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each of Sumo Logic’s outstanding restricted stock units subject to any performance-based vesting conditions (a “Company PSU”) that is outstanding and fully vested (but not yet settled) at the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such vested Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (as determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement), multiplied by (2) the Per Share Price, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes. Each Company PSU that is not vested at the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive an aggregate amount in cash equal to (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such unvested Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (as determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement), multiplied by (2) the Per Share Price, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, which resulting payment will be subject to the same terms and conditions (excluding performance-based vesting conditions) as applied to such unvested Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each of Sumo Logic’s outstanding warrants (a “Company Warrant”) will be deemed exercised in full as a “cashless exercise” (as described in the Company Warrant) at the Effective Time, and the holder of such Company Warrant shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to (1) the Per Share Price, multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issuable upon exercise in full of such Company Warrant as a “cashless exercise,” calculated in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of such Company Warrant, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes.
Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (2) the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of other specified regulatory approvals; and (3) the absence of an order or law preventing the Merger.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of Sumo Logic, Parent and Merger Sub, including, among others, covenants by Sumo Logic regarding the conduct of its business prior to the closing of the Merger. Sumo Logic is also subject to customary restrictions on its ability (and the ability of its subsidiaries and representatives) to (1) solicit, initiate, propose or induce the making or knowingly encourage, facilitate or assist alternative acquisition proposals from third parties; (2) subject to certain exceptions, provide nonpublic information relating to Sumo Logic or any of its subsidiaries to third parties; or (3) engage in discussions or negotiations with, third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals.
Either Sumo Logic or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement if (1) the Effective Time has not occurred by August 9, 2023 (subject to an automatic extension to November 9, 2023 if on such date all of the closing conditions except those relating to regulatory approvals have been satisfied or waived) (as may be extended pursuant the Merger Agreement, the “Termination Date”), (2) a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a final non-appealable governmental order preventing, materially restraining or materially impairing the consummation of the Merger or (3) Sumo Logic’s stockholders fail to adopt the Merger Agreement. Sumo Logic may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain additional limited circumstances, including to allow Sumo Logic to enter into an agreement providing for an alternative acquisition transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain additional limited circumstances, including if the Board withdraws its recommendation that Sumo Logic’s stockholders vote to adopt the Merger Agreement.
Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Sumo Logic will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $52,000,000. Specifically, this termination fee is payable by Sumo Logic to Parent if the Merger Agreement is terminated by (1) Parent following the Board’s determination to change its recommendation with respect to the Merger; or (2) Sumo Logic following the decision by the Board to authorize the acceptance of a Superior Proposal. The termination fee will also be payable in certain circumstances if (1) the Merger Agreement is terminated because (a) the Merger is not completed by the Termination Date, and at the time of such termination Sumo Logic’s requisite stockholder approval has not been obtained; (b) of a material breach of Sumo Logic’s representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that would cause the related closing conditions to not be satisfied; or (c) Sumo Logic’s stockholders fail to adopt the Merger Agreement; (2) prior to such termination (but after the date of the Merger Agreement) a proposal to acquire at least 50.1 percent of Sumo Logic’s stock or assets is publicly announced or disclosed by a third party; and (3) Sumo Logic subsequently enters into a definitive agreement providing for a transaction involving the acquisition of at least 50.1 percent of its stock or assets within one year of such termination and such transaction is ultimately consummated.
The Merger Agreement also provides that Sumo Logic, on one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, may specifically enforce the obligations under the Merger Agreement, including the obligation to consummate the Merger if the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement are satisfied. Subject to limited exceptions, Parent’s and Merger Sub’s aggregate liability for monetary damages for breaches of the Merger Agreement are capped at $104,000,000, and Sumo Logic’s liability for monetary damages for breaches of the Merger Agreement are capped at $52,000,000.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the Merger Agreement has been included to provide Company stockholders and other security holders with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any factual information about Sumo Logic, Parent, Merger Sub or their respective affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates; were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by Company stockholders or other security holders, but rather as a way of allocating the risk between the parties in the event the statements therein prove to be inaccurate; have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in
the Merger Agreement itself; may no longer be true as of a given date; and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by Company stockholders or other security holders. Company stockholders and other security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement (except, following the Effective Time, with respect to Company stockholders’ right to receive the merger consideration and the right of holders of Company equity awards to receive the consideration provided for such equity awards pursuant to the Merger Agreement) and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Sumo Logic, Parent, Merger Sub or their respective affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Sumo Logic’s public disclosures. Sumo Logic acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this Form 8-K not misleading. The Merger Agreement should not be read alone but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the Merger Agreement, the Merger, Sumo Logic, Parent, Merger Sub, their respective affiliates and their respective businesses, that will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Transaction Proxy Statement that Sumo Logic will file, as well as in the Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q, Forms 8-K and other filings that Sumo Logic will make with the SEC.
Voting Agreement
Also on February 9, 2023, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Sumo Logic’s directors, solely in their capacity as Sumo Logic’s stockholders, have entered into voting agreements (the “Voting Agreements”) with Parent. These stockholders represent approximately 2.55 percent of Sumo Logic’s outstanding voting power based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 6, 2023. Under the Voting Agreements, the stockholders party thereto have agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and certain other matters. The Voting Agreements terminate in certain circumstances, including upon the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Voting Agreements also contain restrictions on transfer of shares of Common Stock held by the stockholders party thereto, subject to certain exceptions.
The foregoing description of the Voting Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Voting Agreements, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated into this report by reference.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
Sumo Logic, its directors and certain executive officers are participants in the solicitation of proxies from stockholders in connection with the pending acquisition of Sumo Logic (the “Transaction”). Sumo Logic plans to file a proxy statement (the “Transaction Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies to approve the Transaction. Additional information regarding such participants, including their direct or indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be included in the Transaction Proxy Statement and other relevant documents to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Transaction. Information relating to the foregoing can also be found in Sumo Logic’s definitive proxy statement for its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2022 Proxy Statement”), which was filed with the SEC on May 26, 2022. To the extent that holdings of Sumo Logic’s securities have changed since the amounts printed in the 2022 Proxy Statement, such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC.
Promptly after filing the definitive Transaction Proxy Statement with the SEC, Sumo Logic will mail the definitive Transaction Proxy Statement and a WHITE proxy card to each stockholder entitled to vote at the special meeting. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE TRANSACTION PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT SUMO LOGIC WILL FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Stockholders may obtain, free of charge, the preliminary and definitive versions of the Transaction Proxy Statement, any amendments or supplements thereto, and any other relevant documents filed by Sumo Logic with the SEC in connection with the Transaction at the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov). Copies of Sumo Logic’s definitive Transaction Proxy Statement, any amendments or supplements thereto, and any other relevant documents filed by Sumo Logic with the SEC in connection with the Transaction will also be available, free of charge, at Sumo Logic’s investor relations website (http://investor.sumologic.com).

Dissenting Company Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Person is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of
the DGCL, such shares of Company Common Stock will be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Price in accordance with this Agreement and will not
thereafter be deemed to be Dissenting Company Shares. (ii) Notification of Parent of Demands for Appraisal. The Company will give
Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company in respect of any Dissenting Company Shares; and

decision-making power or other authority over such demands except for the payment, settlement or compromise consent set forth above. 2.8

this Agreement (each, a Vested Company RSU) will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted solely into the right to receive an amount (without interest) in cash
equal in value to (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Per Share Price, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with
respect to such payment (the Vested Company RSU Consideration). Following the Effective Time, no such Vested Company RSU that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding, and each former holder
of a Vested Company RSU shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the right (if any) to receive the Vested Company RSU Consideration in exchange for such Vested Company RSU in accordance with this Section 2.8(a)(i). -27-
(ii) Unvested Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU
under the applicable Company Equity Plan that is not a Vested Company RSU (each, an Unvested Company RSU) will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a

(B) the Per Share Price, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.8, each such Converted Cash Award assumed and converted pursuant to this Section 2.8
will continue to have, and will be subject to, the same vesting terms and conditions (including acceleration provisions upon a qualifying termination of employment (if any)) as applied to the corresponding Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to
the Effective Time, provided that terms rendered inoperable by the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will no longer have any force or effect. Following the Effective Time, no such Unvested Company RSU that was outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding, and each former holder of an Unvested Company RSU shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the right (if any) to receive a Converted Cash Award in exchange for
such Unvested Company RSU in accordance with this Section 2.8(a)(ii). Any such conversion and assumption will be effected in a manner that complies with, or is exempt from, the requirements of Code Section 409A. (b) Company PSUs. (i)
Vested Company PSUs. At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award granted pursuant to a Company Equity Plan that is subject to any performance-based vesting conditions (a Company PSU) and that is outstanding and
fully vested (but not yet settled) at the Effective Time (a Vested Company PSU) will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount
in cash (without interest) equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (as determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement)
multiplied by (y) the Per Share Price, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment (the Vested Company PSU Consideration). (ii) Unvested Company PSUs. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company PSU granted pursuant to a Company Equity Plan that is not

cash (without interest) equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (as determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement) multiplied by
(y) the Per Share Price, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.8, each such Converted Cash Award assumed and converted pursuant to this Section 2.8
will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including time-based vesting conditions, but excluding performance-based vesting conditions and including acceleration provisions upon a qualifying termination of employment (if any)) as applied to
the corresponding Unvested Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time. -28-
(c) Company Options. (i) Vested Company Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option that is vested at the Effective Time, or that vests
as a result of the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement (each, a Vested Company Option), will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted
solely into the right to receive an amount (without interest) in cash, equal in value to (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Vested Company Option multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the Per Share
Price over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock underlying such Vested Company Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment (the Vested Company Option Consideration). For the
avoidance of doubt, any Vested Company Option that has an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Price will be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment and without
further action on the part of any Person. Following the Effective Time, no Vested Company Option shall remain outstanding, and each former holder of a Vested Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the right
(if any) to receive the Vested Company Option Consideration in exchange for such Vested Company Option in accordance with this Section 2.8(c)(i). (ii) Unvested Company Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option that is not a Vested Company Option (each, an
Unvested Company Option) will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted solely into the contingent right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation a
Converted Cash Award equal in value to (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over
the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock under such Unvested Company Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.8, each such Converted Cash

the corresponding Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, any Unvested Company Option that has an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock that is greater than or equal to the Per Share
Price will be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment and without further action on the part of any Person. Following the Effective Time, no Unvested Company Option shall remain outstanding, and each former holder of an
Unvested Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the right (if any) to receive the Converted Cash Award in exchange for such Unvested Company Option in accordance with this Section 2.8(c)(ii). Any such
conversion and assumption will be effected in a manner that complies with, or is exempt from, the requirements of Code Section 409A. -29-
(iii) Exercise Blackout. On or as promptly as practicable following (and in
any event within five (5) Business Days of) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take all action that is reasonably necessary (a) to provide that any Unvested Company Option not be
subject to early exercise pursuant to the terms thereof, and (b) to prohibit the holder thereof from effecting any early exercise of such holders Unvested Company Options, in each case, from and following the
execution and delivery of this Agreement. (d) Payment Procedures. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deposit (or cause
to be deposited) with the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the aggregate (i) Vested Company RSU Consideration owed to all holders of Vested Company RSUs, (ii) Vested Company PSU Consideration owed to all holders of
Vested Company PSUs, and (iii) Vested Company Option Consideration owed to all holders of Vested Company Options. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than the first regularly scheduled payroll

Vested Company Option Consideration, Vested Company PSU Consideration and Vested Company RSU Consideration required to be paid to such former holders pursuant to this Section 2.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment owed to a holder
of Vested Company RSUs, Vested Company PSUs or Vested Company Options pursuant to this Section 2.8 cannot be made through the Surviving Corporations payroll system or payroll provider, then the Surviving Corporation will issue a check for
such payment to such holder, which check will be sent by overnight courier to such holder as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time. The Surviving Corporation will pay any portion of a Converted Cash Award that vests to the
applicable holder thereof as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than the next regularly scheduled payroll cycle following the date on which such portion vests (but in no event later than December 31 of the year in which the Converted
Cash Award vested). (e) Necessary Further Actions. The Company will take all action within its power and authority reasonably
necessary to effect the cancellation, conversion and/or assumption (as the case may be) of Company Equity-Based Awards as of the Effective Time and to give effect to this Section 2.8 (including the
satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act). Subject to obtaining any required consents from the holders thereof, all Company
Equity-Based Awards and all Company Equity Plans will terminate as of the Effective Time (but subject to the consummation of the Merger). (f) Treatment of Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will take all actions necessary to,
(A) provide that no new individuals will be permitted to enroll in the ESPP on or following the date of this Agreement; (B) make any adjustments that may be necessary or advisable to reflect the shortened offering period or purchase
period, but otherwise treat such shortened offering period or purchase period as a fully effective and completed offering period or purchase period for all purposes pursuant to the ESPP; (C) not allow any increase in the amount of
participants payroll deduction elections under the ESPP during the offering period or purchase period that is in effect on the date of this Agreement (the Current Purchase Period) from those in effect on the date of this
Agreement; (D) cause the exercise (as of no later than one Business Day prior to the date on which the Effective Time occurs) of each outstanding purchase right pursuant to the ESPP, but otherwise not issue any Company Common Stock under the
ESPP; (E) provide that no further offering period or purchase period will commence pursuant to the ESPP on or after the date of this -30-
Agreement; and (F) not extend the Current Purchase Period. If purchase rights are exercised under the ESPP pursuant to the foregoing prior to the Closing Date, on such exercise date, the
Company will apply the funds credited as of such date pursuant to the ESPP within each participants account to the purchase of whole shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the ESPP. Immediately prior to and effective as
of the Effective Time (but subject to the consummation of the Merger), the Company will terminate the ESPP and no further rights shall be granted or exercised under the ESPP thereafter. 2.9 Effect on Company Warrants. (a) Warrants. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time each Company
Warrant that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be deemed exercised in full as a cashless exercise (as described in the Company Warrant) effective upon the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of
the Company Warrant, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Per Share Price by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock
deemed to be issuable upon exercise in full of the Company Warrant as a cashless exercise, calculated in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of such Company Warrant (the Company Warrant
Consideration). (b) Payment Procedures. Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, subject to Section 2.13, the
applicable Company Warrant Consideration to each holder of the applicable Company Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Company Warrant. 2.10 Exchange of Certificates. (a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Closing, Parent will (i) select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to
act as the payment agent for the Merger (the Payment Agent); and (ii) enter into a payment agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, with such Payment Agent. (b) Exchange Fund. At or prior to the Closing, Parent will deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, by wire transfer
of immediately available funds, for payment to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and holders of Company Warrants pursuant to Section 2.7 and Section 2.9, respectively, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to
which such holders of Company Common Stock and holders of Company Warrants become entitled pursuant to Section 2.7 and Section 2.9, respectively. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such cash will
be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in (i) obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States with a maturity of no more than 30 days; (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A 1 or P 1 or better by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poors Corporation, respectively; or (iii) certificates of
deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available) (such cash and any proceeds
thereon, the Exchange Fund). To the extent that (A) there are any losses with -31-
respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund; (B) the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated
by Section 2.7; or (C) all or any portion of the Exchange Fund is unavailable for Parent (or the Payment Agent on behalf of Parent) to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by Section 2.7 for any reason, then Parent will, or will
cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the amount of cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times fully available for distribution and maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment
Agent to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.7. Any interest or other income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs. (c) Exchange and Payment Procedures. (i) Certificated Shares. Promptly following the Effective Time (and in any event within one Business Day), Parent and the Surviving
Corporation will cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other
than Dissenting Company Shares and Owned Company Shares) (the Certificates) whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7,
(A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent (or affidavit of loss in
lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section 2.12)); and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon surrender to
the Payment Agent of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section 2.12) for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, in accordance with the terms of such
materials and instructions, the holder of such Certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange for the number of shares represented by such Certificate (and Parent will cause the Payment Agent to pay and deliver in exchange therefor as promptly
as practicable) an amount in cash (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate by
(2) the Per Share Price. The Certificate so surrendered will be cancelled. The Payment Agent will accept Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof
in accordance with customary exchange practices. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of any holder of Certificates on the amount payable upon the surrender of such Certificates pursuant to this Section 2.10(c)(i). Until so
surrendered, the Certificates will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. (ii) Uncertificated Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any holder of shares of Company Common Stock
held in book-entry form (the Uncertificated Shares) will not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Payment Agent to receive the consideration
payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. In lieu thereof, each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of an Uncertificated Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented an
-32-
outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Company Shares and Owned Company Shares) whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the
consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7 will, upon receipt of an agents message in customary form (it being understood that the holders of Uncertificated Shares will be deemed to have surrendered such
Uncertificated Shares upon receipt of an agents message or such other evidence, if any, as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) at the Effective Time, be entitled to receive (and Parent will cause the Payment Agent to pay and
deliver as promptly as practicable) an amount in cash (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such
holders transferred Uncertificated Shares by (B) the Per Share Price. The Uncertificated Shares so surrendered will be cancelled. The Payment Agent will accept transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms
and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of any holder of Uncertificated Shares on the amount payable
upon the surrender of such Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.10(c)(ii). Until so surrendered, Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the consideration payable
in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. (d) DTC Payment. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company will
cooperate to establish procedures with the Payment Agent and DTC with the objective that (i) if the Closing occurs at or prior to 11:30 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date, then the Payment Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees on the
Closing Date an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares) held
of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Per Share Price (such amount, the DTC Payment); and (ii) if the Closing occurs after 11:30 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date, then
the Payment Agent will transmit the DTC Payment to DTC or its nominees on the first Business Day after the Closing Date. (e) Transfers
of Ownership. If a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if the consideration payable is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Certificates
surrendered or transferred in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, then the aggregate consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.7 may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name
the Certificate so surrendered or transferred is registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such
payment has paid to Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) any transfer Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Price to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate, or established to the satisfaction of Parent
(or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable. Payment of the consideration payable with respect to Uncertificated Shares will only be made to the Person in whose name such Uncertificated
Shares are registered. -33-
(f) Escheat. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Party will be liable to a Company Stockholder for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any
Certificates or Uncertificated Shares have not been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which any cash in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority,
then any such cash in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. (g) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the
Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is one year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time who have not theretofore surrendered or transferred their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to this Section 2.10 will thereafter look for payment of the
Per Share Price payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), solely as general creditors thereof, for
any claim to the Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.7. 2.11 No Further Ownership Rights
in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, (a) all shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist; and (b) each holder of a Certificate or
Uncertificated Shares previously representing any shares of Company Common Stock will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration payable therefor in accordance with Section 2.7 (or in the case
of Dissenting Company Shares, the rights pursuant to Section 2.7(d)). The consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock will be deemed to have been paid in full
satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that
were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or
Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they will (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 2.10(c)) be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II. 2.12 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent
will issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. Parent or the Payment Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition
precedent to the payment of such Per Share Price, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving
Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. -34-
2.13 Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Company and the
Surviving Corporation, or any Subsidiary of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted or
withheld therefrom pursuant to any applicable Laws related to Taxes. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. 2.14 Necessary Further
Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with the full right, title and possession
of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent will be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company, and otherwise) to take such
action. ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY With respect to any Section of this Article III, except (a) as disclosed in the Company SEC Reports (other than any disclosures contained

The Company (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing pursuant

of any jurisdiction outside the United States), except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available to Parent true, correct and complete copies of the
Charter and the Bylaws, each as amended to date. The Company is not in violation of the Charter or the Bylaws. 3.2 Corporate Power;
Enforceability. Assuming that the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub in Section 4.6(b) are true and correct, (a) the Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to (i) execute and deliver this

executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability (A) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws affecting or relating to creditors rights generally; and (B) is subject to general

Financial Advisor to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other factors set forth therein, the Per Share Price to be received pursuant to this
Agreement by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (other than the Owned Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares) is fair from a financial point of view to such holders of shares of Company Common Stock. (c) Anti-Takeover Laws. Assuming that the representations of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in Section 4.6 are true and correct,
the Company Board has taken all necessary actions so that the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL and any other similar applicable anti-takeover Law will not be applicable to the Merger. 3.4 Requisite Stockholder Approval. Assuming that the representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub in Section 4.6(b)
are true and correct, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote to adopt this Agreement (the Requisite Stockholder Approval) is the only vote of the
holders of any class or series of Company Capital Stock that is required pursuant to applicable Law, the Charter or the Bylaws to consummate the Merger. -36-

correct, violate or conflict with any Law applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any of their respective properties or assets are bound; or (d) result in the creation of any lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any
of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the case of each of clauses (b), (c) and (d) for such violations, conflicts, breaches, defaults, terminations, accelerations or liens that would not have a Company

action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. (b) Permitted Conduct Related to Certain Proposals.

offer in connection with such Acquisition Proposal without such action being considered a violation of this Section 5.4); or (E) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (any action described in clauses

reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal; (2) the delivery, in itself, by the Company to Parent or its Representatives of any notice contemplated by Section 5.4(d); or (3) the public disclosure, in itself, of the items in
clauses (1) and (2) if required by applicable Law will constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change or violate this Section 5.4; or (ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

Intervening Event if and only if: (1) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with its
financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; (2) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days (the Event Notice Period)

reasonable detail the basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change and will describe the Intervening Event in reasonable detail; and -67-
(3) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company and its
Representatives, until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, at the end of such four (4) Business Day period, have (A) negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent requests to negotiate) to make such
adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents so that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) no longer determines in good faith that the failure to make a Company Board Recommendation Change in response
to such Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; (B) permitted Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board regarding this Agreement
and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent that Parent requests to make such a presentation); and (C) following such Event Notice Period, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) (after consultation with its financial advisor and
outside legal counsel and taking into account Parents proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents) has determined that the failure of the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to make a
Company Board Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; it being understood that each time that material modifications or developments with respect to the Intervening
Event occur (as reasonably determined by the Company Board in good faith), the Company shall notify Parent of such modification and the time period set forth in the preceding clause (2) shall recommence and be extended for two Business Days
from the later of (i) the delivery of such written notice to Parent or (ii) the end of the original Notice Period. (ii)
Superior Proposals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, if the Company has received a written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board (or
a committee thereof) has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) is a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board may (A) effect a Company Board Recommendation Change with respect to such
Superior Proposal or (B) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in each case if and only if: (1) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal
counsel) that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; (2) the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4 with respect to such Acquisition
Proposal; (3) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days in advance (the
Notice Period) to the effect that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has (A) received a written Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn; (B) concluded in good faith (after consultation with its financial
advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and (C) resolved to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h), which notice
will describe the basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change or termination, including the identity of the Person or Group making such Acquisition Proposal, and the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal and will include copies of all
relevant documents relating to such Acquisition Proposal; and -68-
(4) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change or termination, the Company
and its Representatives, until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the last day of the Notice Period, have (A) negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent requests to negotiate) to make such adjustments to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (B) permitted Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company
Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent that Parent requests to make such a presentation), it being understood that (a) in the event of any material revision, amendment, update or supplement to
such Acquisition Proposal, the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.4(d)(ii)(4) with respect to such new written notice (with the Notice Period in
respect of such new written notice being two Business Days from the later of (i) the delivery of such written notice to Parent or (ii) the end of the original Notice Period); and (b) at the end of the Notice Period, the Company Board
(or a committee thereof) must have in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account Parents proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents) reaffirmed its determination described in clause (1) above that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal. (e)
Notice to Parent of Acquisition Proposals. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will promptly (and, in any event within 48 hours from the receipt thereof) notify Parent in writing if an
Acquisition Proposal is, to the Knowledge of the Company (which, for this purpose, will be deemed to include each member of the Company Board and will not be deemed to be only as of the date of this Agreement), received by the Company or its

(f) Permitted Disclosures by the Company and the Company Board. So long as the
Company Board (or a committee thereof) expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such public disclosure (other than in a customary stop, look and listen communication to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act): (i) nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the Company or
the Company Board (or a committee thereof) from (A) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including making a stop, look and listen communication by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication); (B) complying with Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act;

disclosure made by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) pursuant to this Section 5.4(f)(i) must be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and will not limit or otherwise adversely affect the obligations of the Company or
the Company Board (or any committee thereof) and the rights of Parent under this Section 5.4; and (2) nothing in the foregoing will be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to effect a Company Board
Recommendation Change other than in accordance with Section 5.4(d); and (ii) it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this
Agreement, a factually accurate public statement by the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) that solely (A) describes the Companys receipt of an Acquisition Proposal; (B) identifies the Person or Group making such
Acquisition Proposal; (C) provides the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal; or (D) describes the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto will not, in any case, be deemed to be (1) a withholding, withdrawal, amendment,
qualification or modification, or proposal by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify, the Company Board Recommendation; (2) an adoption, approval or recommendation with respect to such
Acquisition Proposal; or (3) a Company Board Recommendation Change. (g) Breach of
No-Solicitation Obligations by Representatives of the Company. The Company agrees that if it (i) affirmatively permits any of its Representatives (other than its
non-controlled Affiliates that are not directors, officers or employees of the Company) to take any action or (ii) is made aware of an action by one of its Representatives (other than its non-controlled Affiliates that are not directors, officers or employees of the Company) and does not use its reasonable best efforts to prohibit or terminate such action and, in each case, such action would
constitute a material breach of this Section 5.4 if taken by the Company during the Pre-Closing Period, then such action will be deemed to constitute a breach by the Company of this Section 5.4. -70-
5.5 No Control of the Other Partys Business. The Parties
acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are not intended to give Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business or
operations of the other at any time prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company will exercise, consistent with the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision

reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing, materially impairing or materially delaying or otherwise materially and adversely affecting the (i) consummation of the Merger; or (ii) ability of such Party to fully perform its
covenants pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no action by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub taken (or failed to be taken) in compliance with the express terms of this Agreement will be considered a violation of this
Section 6.1. -71-
(c) No Consent Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 6.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to agree to the payment of a consent fee, profit sharing payment or other consideration (including increased or accelerated

applicable to the Merger, then such Party will use reasonable best efforts to make (or cause to be made), as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other Parties, an appropriate response to such request, and cooperate and
coordinate with the other Parties in connection with responding to any such request. Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates not to, (a)
pull-and-refile pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 803.12 or otherwise withdraw any filing under the HSR Act, the Specified Foreign Direct Investment Laws, or any other

waiting period under any Antitrust Law, or Foreign Direct Investment Law or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority to delay consummation of or not to consummate the Merger, unless the other Parties have consented in writing to such

enter into any agreement or consent decree with the DOJ, FTC or any other Governmental Authority that is not conditioned on the Closing. (c) Cooperation. In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b), the Company will (and will cause
its Subsidiaries to), and Parent and Merger Sub will (and will cause their respective Affiliates to), subject to any restrictions under applicable Law, (i) promptly notify the other Parties of (and, if in writing, furnish them with copies of
(or, in the case of oral communications, advise them of the contents of)) any material communication received by such Person from a Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and permit the other Parties to review and discuss in advance
(and to consider in good faith any comments made by the other Parties in relation to) any proposed draft notifications, formal notifications, filings, submissions or other written communications (and any analyses, memoranda, white papers,

Representatives of the other Party without approval of the Party providing the non-public information. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub may redact any valuation and related information before sharing
any information provided to any Governmental Authority with another Party on an outside counsel only basis. All requests for access or information pursuant to this Section 6.2 must be directed to the Companys General Counsel
or another person designated in writing by the Company. (d) Controlling Provision. This Section 6.2 and not Section 6.1,

comment thereon, and the Company will give good faith consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by Parent or its counsel. Subject to Section 5.4 and unless there has been a Company Board Recommendation Change,
the Company will (i) include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Promptly (but no later than five days, to the

preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement and the resolution of any comments to either received from the SEC. (c)
SEC Correspondence. The Parties will notify each other as promptly as practicable of the receipt of any comments, whether written or oral, from the SEC and of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement, any
Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Parent Filing, or for additional information, and will supply each other with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand,
with respect to such filings. The Parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to resolve all SEC comments, if any, with respect to the Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable after the receipt thereof.

under the Exchange Act, seeking advisory approval of a proposal in connection with a non-binding, advisory vote to approve certain compensation that may become payable to the Companys named executive

Agreement for adoption by the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting; and (B) unless the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has made a Company Board Recommendation
Change, use appropriate efforts to solicit (or cause to be solicited) from the Company Stockholders proxies in favor of the matters to be considered at the Company Stockholder Meeting. Without the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be

the adoption of this Agreement and (y) in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act seeking advisory approval of a proposal in connection with a non-binding, advisory vote to approve certain

made available to the Company Stockholders by issuing a press release, filing materials with the SEC or otherwise, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without the prior written consent of Parent (which will not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company Stockholder Meeting will not be postponed or adjourned (A) by more than 10 days at a time; (B) with respect to Section 6.4(b)(i), by more than 30 days after the date on which

(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required by applicable Law. 6.5 Equity Financing.
(a) No Amendments to Equity Commitment Letter. Except as set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, neither Parent nor Merger Sub
(without the prior written consent of the Company) shall agree to, or permit any amendment, modification, supplement or termination of, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Equity Commitment Letter. Any reference in this

will include such document as amended or modified in compliance with this Section 6.5. -77-
(b) Taking of Necessary Actions. (i) Equity Financing not a Closing Condition. The Guarantors, Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledge and agree that obtaining the
Equity Financing is not a condition to the Closing or the enforcement of the Equity Commitment Letter. If the Equity Financing has not been funded, Parent and Merger Sub will each continue to be obligated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
the conditions set forth in Article VII, to consummate the Merger, including by taking the actions required to be taken by Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to Section 6.5(b)(ii).

with or without notice or lapse of time, or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to the Equity Commitment Letter; (B) of any dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Equity
Commitment Letter with respect to this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the Equity Financing; and (C) if for any reason Parent or Merger Sub at any time believes
that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Equity Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letter. Parent will provide any information reasonably requested by the Company
relating to any of the circumstances referred to in the previous sentence as soon as reasonably practical (but in any event with two Business Days) after the date that the Company delivers a written request therefor to Parent. (d) Enforcement. Parent and Merger Sub will seek to enforce, including by bringing a Legal Proceeding for specific performance, the
Equity Commitment Letter if the Company seeks and is granted a decree of specific performance of the obligation to consummate the Merger after all conditions to the granting thereof set forth in Section 9.10(b) have been satisfied. -78-
6.6 Financing Cooperation. (a) Cooperation by the Company with the Debt Financing. Prior to the Effective Time, to the extent requested by Parent or Merger Sub

(iii) give any indemnities in connection with the Debt Financing that are effective prior to the Effective Time; (iv) prepare or provide any Excluded Information; or (v) take any action that, in the good faith determination of the

any representation or warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement to be breached; (d) cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to violate or waive any attorney-client or other applicable privilege or breach any Contract, applicable Law

the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents, and use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements to permit the disclosure of such information
without implicating the foregoing restrictions. In addition, (A) no action, liability or obligation of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document
or instrument relating to the Debt Financing will be effective until the Effective Time; (B) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to take any action pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or
instrument that is not contingent on the occurrence of the Closing or that must be effective prior to the Effective Time; and (C) any bank information memoranda required in relation to the Debt Financing will contain disclosure and financial
statements reflecting the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries as the obligor. Nothing in this Section 6.6 will require (1) any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to deliver any certificate or opinion or take any
other action under this Section 6.6 that could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to such Representative; (2) the Company Board to approve any financing or Contracts related thereto; (3) the Company and its
Subsidiaries to take any action that would conflict with or violate its organizational documents or -80-
any applicable Laws, or result in a violation of breach of, or default under, any agreement to which the Company or any of it is Subsidiaries is a party; and (4) the Company and its
Subsidiaries to provide any information (a) the disclosure of which is prohibited or restricted under applicable Law or any contract, agreement or other understanding binding on the Company or its Subsidiaries; or (b) where access to such
information would (i) give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other privilege applicable to such information; or (ii) violate or cause a default pursuant to, or give a third Person
the right to terminate or accelerate its rights pursuant to, any Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound. The Company will be deemed to be in compliance with Section 6.6(a) at all times unless and
until (A) Parent provides written notice (the Non-Cooperation Notice) to the Company of any alleged failure to comply, or action or failure to act, that constitutes a breach of
Section 6.6(a); (B) Parent includes in such Non-Cooperation Notice reasonable detail regarding the cooperation required to cure such alleged failure (which will not require the Company to provide any
cooperation that it would not otherwise be required to provide under Section 6.6(a)); and (C) the Company fails to take the actions specified in such Non-Cooperation Notice within five Business Days
from receipt of such Non-Cooperation Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a breach of the obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries under prongs (i)-(iv) or (vi) of
Section 6.6(a) may not be asserted by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates or Representatives as the basis for (x) any conditions set forth in Article VII not being satisfied; or (y) the termination of this Agreement pursuant
to Section 8.1(e). (c) Use of Logos. The Company consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries logos in connection
with the Debt Financing so long as such logos are used (i) solely in a manner that is not intended to or likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(ii) solely in connection with a description of the Company, its business and products or the Merger; and (iii) in a manner consistent with the other terms and conditions that the Company reasonably imposes in writing to Parent. (d) Confidentiality. All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to this Agreement will be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Parent and Merger Sub will be permitted to disclose such
information to any Debt Financing Sources or prospective equity or debt financing sources and other financial institutions and investors that are or may become parties to the Financing and to any underwriters, initial purchasers or placement agents
in connection with the Debt Financing (and, in each case, to their respective counsel and auditors) so long as such Persons (i) agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement as a Representative thereunder as if parties thereto;
or (ii) are subject to other confidentiality undertakings reasonably satisfactory to the Company and of which the Company is a beneficiary. (e) Reimbursement. If the Closing does not occur, promptly upon request by the Company, Parent will reimburse the Company for any
documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the
cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries contemplated by this Section 6.6 (it being understood and agreed that the reimbursement set -81-
forth in this Section 6.6(e) shall not apply to any fees, costs, and expenses incurred by, or on behalf of, the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its Representatives in connection with its
ordinary course financial reporting requirements or in the provision of data that, in each case, was already prepared or was being prepared by the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Representatives in the ordinary course of business notwithstanding
this Section 6.6). (f) Indemnification. The Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives will be
indemnified and held harmless by Parent from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including attorneys fees), interest, awards, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in settlement suffered or incurred by them in connection with their cooperation in arranging or obtaining the Debt Financing (including any cooperation
pursuant to Section 6.6(a)) pursuant to this Agreement or the provision of information utilized in connection therewith, except with respect to any losses suffered or incurred as a result of (i) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Company or any of its Representatives or (ii) material breach by the Company or its Subsidiaries of this Section 6.6. Parents obligations pursuant to this Section 6.6(f) are referred to collectively as the
Reimbursement Obligations. (g) No Exclusive Arrangements. In no event will Parent or Merger Sub (and Parent and
Merger Sub will each cause their respective Representatives (which for this purpose will be deemed to include the Debt Financing Sources, the Guarantors and each direct investor in Parent or Merger Sub (pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter or
otherwise) or any other potential financing sources of Parent, Merger Sub and such investors not to)) enter into any Contract prohibiting or seeking to prohibit any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt financing from providing
or seeking to provide debt financing or financial advisory services to any Person, in each case in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with the Merger. (h) No Financing Condition. Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledge and agree that obtaining the Debt Financing is not a condition to
the Closing. If any Debt Financing has not been obtained, Parent and Merger Sub will each continue to be obligated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, to consummate the Merger. 6.7 Anti-Takeover Laws. Neither Parent nor the Company will take any action that would cause any restrictions on business combinations
set forth in any takeover Law to become applicable to this Agreement or the Merger. Each of Parent, the Company and the Company Board will (a) take all actions within their power to ensure that no anti-takeover Law is or
becomes applicable to the Merger; and (b) if any anti-takeover Law is or becomes applicable to the Merger, take all action within their power to ensure that the Merger may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms
contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such Law on the Merger. 6.8 Information
Access During the Pre-Closing Period. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, afford Parent and its
Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the properties, Contracts, books and records, and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries, solely to the extent necessary for the purpose of
planning for integration and -82-
consummation of the Merger. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (a) any applicable
Law requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information; (b) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine
or other similar privilege applicable to such documents or information; (c) access to a Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is otherwise bound would violate, or cause a default pursuant to, or give a third
Person the right to terminate or accelerate rights pursuant to, such Contract; (d) such access would result in the disclosure of any Trade Secrets of any third Person; (e) such documents or information are reasonably pertinent to any
adverse Legal Proceeding between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand; or (f) the provision of such information would, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company, cause
competitive harm to the Company or its Subsidiaries, it being understood that, in each case the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents, and use commercially reasonable efforts to make
appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements to permit the disclosure of such information without implicating the foregoing restrictions. Nothing in this Section 6.8 will be construed to require the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their respective Representatives to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8 will be conducted in a manner that does not
unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Any access to the properties of the Company and its
Subsidiaries will be subject to the Companys reasonable security measures, health and safety measures, and insurance requirements, and will not include the right to perform any invasive testing or soil, air or groundwater sampling,
including any Phase II environmental assessments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may satisfy its obligations set forth in this Section 6.8 by electronic means if physical access is not reasonably
feasible or would not be permitted under applicable public health or similar Laws or measures. All requests for access or information pursuant to this Section 6.8 must be directed to the Companys General Counsel or another person
designated in writing by the Company. 6.9 Section 16(b) Exemption. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company
will take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Merger, and any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the Merger by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the
Company, to be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. 6.10
Directors and Officers Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance. (a) Indemnified
Persons. The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to), for a period of six years after the Effective Time, honor and fulfill, in all respects, the obligations of
the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of their respective current or former directors or officers (and any person who becomes a director
or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time), on the other hand (collectively, the Indemnified -83-
Persons) set forth on Section 6.10 of the Company Disclosure Letter or that use the same form, in all material respects, as the form of indemnification agreement filed with the
Company SEC Reports. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and
its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificates of incorporation, bylaws and other similar organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement
of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Charter, the Bylaws and the other similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company, as
applicable, as of the date of this Agreement. During such six-year period or such period in which an Indemnified Person is asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.10(b), whichever is
longer, such provisions may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Persons except as required by applicable Law. (b) Indemnification Obligation. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.10(a), during the period commencing at the Effective
Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the governing and organizational
documents of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement or pursuant to any indemnification agreements with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect as of the Effective Time and set forth on Section 6.10 of the Company
Disclosure Letter or that use the same form in all material respects as the form of indemnification agreement filed with the Company SEC Reports, each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys fees
and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement or compromise in connection with any Legal Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent that
such Legal Proceeding arises, directly or indirectly, out of or pertains, directly or indirectly, to (i) any action or omission, or alleged action or omission, in such Indemnified Persons capacity as a director, officer, or agent of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, at or after the Effective Time); and (ii) the Merger, as well as any actions taken by the
Company, Parent or Merger Sub with respect to the Merger (including any disposition of assets of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries that is alleged to have rendered the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries insolvent).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.10(b), then the
claim asserted in such notice will survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claim is fully and finally resolved. In connection with a Legal Proceeding of the type contemplated by this Section 6.10(b), (A) the Surviving
Corporation will have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, the Surviving Corporation will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the
Indemnified Persons entitlement to indemnification under this Section 6.10 with respect thereto); (B) each Indemnified Person will be entitled to retain his or her own counsel (the fees and expenses of which will be paid by the Surviving
Corporation), whether or not the Surviving Corporation elects to control the defense of any such Legal Proceeding; (C) upon -84-
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay any amount if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification, the
Surviving Corporation will advance all fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of any counsel) as incurred by an Indemnified Person in the defense of such Legal Proceeding, whether or not the Surviving Corporation elects to control the
defense of any such Legal Proceeding; and (D) no Indemnified Person will be liable for any settlement of such Legal Proceeding effected without his or her prior written consent (unless such settlement relates only to monetary damages for which
the Surviving Corporation is entirely responsible). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates will settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the
entry of any judgment with respect to, or otherwise seek the termination of, any Legal Proceeding for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination
includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such Legal Proceeding. No Indemnified Person shall compromise, settle or consent to an arrangement regarding, or agree to compromise, settle or consent to
an arrangement regarding, any Legal Proceeding for which indemnification is or will be sought under this Section 6.10(b) unless Parent has consented thereto in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and
Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not have any liability for any such compromise, settlement or arrangement effected without Parents prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Any
determination required to be made with respect to whether the conduct of any Indemnified Person complies or complied with any applicable standard will be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation (which counsel will be
reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person), the fees and expenses of which will be paid by the Surviving Corporation. (c)
D&O Insurance. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a prepaid six-year tail policy (the Tail Policy) with respect to the D&O Insurance from an
insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Companys current directors and officers liability insurance carrier so long as the total cost for the Tail Policy does not exceed 400 percent of the amount paid by
the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year, it being understood that if the aggregate cost would exceed that limit, the Company shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable up to such limit. The Surviving Corporation will
(and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain the Tail Policy in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder for so long as the Tail Policy is in full force and effect. (d) Successors and Assigns. Proper provisions will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or
any of their respective successors or assigns will assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.10 if Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns either
(i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person. -85-
(e) No Impairment; Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. The obligations set forth in this
Section 6.10 may not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person (and his or her heirs and representatives) who is a beneficiary pursuant to the D&O Insurance
or the Tail Policy) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person. Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons (and his or her heirs and representatives) who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O
Insurance or the Tail Policy are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10, with full rights of enforcement. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons (and his or her heirs and representatives) who are
beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy) pursuant to this Section 6.10 will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have pursuant to (i) the Charter and Bylaws;
(ii) the similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company; (iii) any and all indemnification agreements entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iv) applicable Law. (f) Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to
this Section 6.10 are joint and several. (g) Other Claims. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to,
release, waive or impair any rights to directors and officers insurance claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.10 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims pursuant to such
policies or agreements. 6.11 Employee Matters. (a) Existing Arrangements. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving
Corporation to) honor all of the Company Benefit Plans made available to Parent in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing will prohibit the Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates from amending,
modifying, or terminating any Company Benefit Plans or compensation or severance arrangements in accordance with their terms or as otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law. (b) Employment; Benefits. For the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending on the
one-year anniversary thereof, or, if earlier, until the date of termination of the Continuing Employee (the Benefits Period), the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent
will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) (i) maintain employee benefits for the benefit of each Continuing Employee (other than defined benefit pension, retiree welfare, and the opportunity to participate in equity or
equity-based or other long term incentive compensation, change of control, retention, transaction bonus or similar arrangements, defined benefit pension, retiree or post-employment welfare or nonqualified deferred compensation (collectively, the
Excluded Benefits)) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those in effect at the Company or its Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement; and (ii) provide an annual base salary or wage rate, as applicable,
and target annual cash bonus or commission opportunity to each Continuing Employee that, taken as a whole, is substantially the same in the aggregate to that provided to such Continuing Employee -86-
immediately prior to the Effective Time. In each case, base compensation and target annual cash incentive or commission compensation opportunities will not, in the aggregate, be decreased during
the Benefits Period for any Continuing Employee employed during that period. During the Benefits Period, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) provide to Continuing Employees with cash severance benefits
upon a qualifying termination of employment (and subject to satisfying any requirements required by Parent) that are substantially the same as those provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement under the Company
Benefit Plans listed on Section 3.19(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. (c) New Plans. At or after the Effective Time,
Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of Parent to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be granted to the Continuing Employees credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to
the Effective Time and with Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and any of their Subsidiaries on or after the Effective Time, for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits for purposes of vacation accrual and
severance pay entitlement, but not including for any purposes of any Excluded Benefits, to the same extent such service was credited under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the
date hereof, except that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits or could apply to any defined benefit pension plans. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of Parent to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that: (i) each Continuing Employee will be immediately eligible to participate, without any
waiting period, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Excluded Benefits) (such plans, the New Plans) to the extent that coverage pursuant to any New Plan replaces coverage
pursuant to a comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, the Old Plans); and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental,
pharmaceutical, or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, cause all pre-existing conditions or limitations, physical examination requirements, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the same extent waived under the corresponding
Company Benefit Plan, and, during the plan year in which the Closing occurs, cause any eligible expenses paid by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date that
such Continuing Employees participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be given full credit pursuant to such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all 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. Any vacation
or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time, will not be subject to accrual limits or other forfeiture and will
not limit future accruals. -87-
(d) No Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Agreement, neither this Section 6.11 nor any provisions of this Agreement will be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time (or any particular term of employment), or preclude the ability of Parent, the
Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate any Continuing Employee or other Person for any or no reason; (ii) require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to maintain or
continue any Company Benefit Plan or other compensation or benefit plan, program, policy agreement or arrangement or prevent the amendment, modification, suspension or termination thereof after the Effective Time; (iii) create any third-party
beneficiary rights in any Person; or (iv) be treated as an amendment of, or undertaking to amend, any Company Benefit Plan. 6.12
Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent will take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement and to consummate the Merger upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Parent and Merger Sub will be jointly and severally liable for the failure by either of them to perform and discharge any of their respective covenants, agreements and obligations pursuant to this
Agreement. 6.13 Notification of Certain Matters. (a) Notification by the Company. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will give prompt
notice to Parent upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure by the Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any
covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement, in each case if and only to the extent that such untruth, inaccuracy, or failure would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the
obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) to fail to be satisfied at the Closing. No such notification will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of
the Company that is set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger or the remedies available to the Parties under this Agreement. (b) Notification by Parent. During the Pre-Closing Period, Parent will give prompt notice to
the Company upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure by Parent or Merger Sub to comply with or satisfy in any
material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement, in each case if and only to the extent that such untruth, inaccuracy or failure would reasonably be expected to cause any of the
conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) to fail to be satisfied at the Closing. No such notification will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or
warranty of Parent or Merger Sub that is set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the Merger or the remedies available to the Parties under this Agreement. -88-
(c) Impact of Non-Compliance. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a breach of the obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand, under this Section 6.13 may not be asserted by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their
Affiliates or Representatives, on the one hand, or the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, on the other hand, as the basis, in and of itself, for (i) any conditions set forth in Article VII not
being satisfied; or (ii) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or Section 8.1(g), as applicable. 6.14 Public Statements and Disclosure. The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the Merger will be a joint press release
reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent and will be issued promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Company and its Representatives (unless the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has made a Company
Board Recommendation Change), on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub and their respective Representatives, on the other hand, will use their respective reasonable best efforts to consult with the other Parties before (a) participating in
any media interviews; (b) engaging in any meetings or calls with analysts, institutional investors or other similar Persons; or (c) providing any statements that are public or are reasonably likely to become public, in each case to the
extent relating to this Agreement or the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Company will not be obligated to engage in such consultation with respect to communications that are (i) required by applicable Law;
(ii) principally directed to employees, suppliers, customers, partners or vendors so long as such communications are consistent with prior communications of the Company or any communications plan previously agreed to in writing by Parent and
the Company (in which case such communications may be made consistent with such plan); or (iii) principally related to a Superior Proposal or Company Board Recommendation Change; (B) Parent will not be obligated to engage in such
consultation with respect to communications that are disclosures or communications by Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates to existing or prospective general or limited partners, equity holders, members, managers and investors of such Person or
any Affiliates of such Person, in each case who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions; and (C) neither the Company nor Parent or Merger Sub will be obligated to engage in such consultation with respect to communications that are
reasonably related to any dispute or Legal Proceeding among the Parties or their respective Affiliates, or with parties to the Equity Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing Sources, related to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the Equity
Financing or the Debt Financing. 6.15 Transaction Litigation. (a) Notice. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will keep Parent reasonably informed
with respect to the status of all Transaction Litigation. (b) Cooperation. The Company will (i) give Parent the opportunity
to participate in the defense, settlement or prosecution of any Transaction Litigation; (ii) consult with Parent with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any Transaction Litigation; and (iii) consider in good faith
Parents advice with respect to any Transaction Litigation. The Company may not compromise, settle or come to a binding arrangement regarding, or agree to compromise, settle or come to a binding arrangement regarding, any Transaction Litigation
unless Parent has consented thereto in writing (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For purposes of this Section 6.15, participate means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy
and other significant decisions with respect to the Transaction Litigation by the Company (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between -89-
the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Transaction Litigation, which the Company and its counsel
shall consider in good faith, but will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over such Transaction Litigation except for the settlement or compromise consent set forth above. 6.16 Stock Exchange Delisting; Deregistration. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will cooperate with Parent and use its
reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part pursuant to applicable Law to cause (a) the delisting of the Company Common Stock
from Nasdaq as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time; and (b) the deregistration of the Company Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting. 6.17 Additional Agreements. If at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of either of the Company or Merger Sub, then the proper officers and directors of each Party will
use their reasonable best efforts to take such action. 6.18 Payoff of Loan Agreement. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent
will provide (or cause to be provided) to the Company funds in an amount equal to the amount necessary for the Company to repay and discharge in full all amounts outstanding under the terms of the Loan Agreement. At the Effective Time, the Company
will repay and discharge such indebtedness in a manner reasonably acceptable to the parties to the Loan Agreement and Parent. 6.19
Parent Vote at Merger Sub. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, will execute and deliver to Merger Sub (with a copy also sent to the Company) a
written consent adopting this Agreement and approving the Merger in accordance with the DGCL (such adoption and approval, the Merger Sub Stockholder Approval). 6.20 Conduct of Business by Parent and Merger Sub. During the Pre-Closing Period, unless the
Company otherwise consents, Parent and Merger Sub will not, and will cause any of their Affiliates (including the Guarantors) not to acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, by purchasing a portion of the assets of or equity in,
or by acquiring in any other manner, any business of any Person or other business organization or division thereof if such business competes in any material line of business of the Company or its Subsidiaries and the entering into of a definitive
agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such transaction would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, order, declaration
or approval of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Merger or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an Order preventing or
materially restraining the consummation of the Merger; (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Merger, in each case,
after giving effect to any actions required pursuant to Section 6.2(b), in each case, except for any acquisition that has been publicly disclosed prior to the date of this Agreement. -90-
6.21 Prohibition on Certain Discussions. Except as approved by the Company Board (or

Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to sell any marketable securities then owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries reasonably proximate to the Closing Date so as to permit the net
proceeds of such sale to be used by or at the direction of Parent or Merger Sub as a potential partial source for the payments contemplated by this Agreement, including the payment of expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; except that no sale will be required to be made unless and until all of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2, and Section 7.3 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by
their nature are to be satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder) at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of such conditions at the Closing), and Parent has irrevocably confirmed and agreed in
writing that it acknowledges satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived at the

receipt by any Party of a form letter from the FTCs Bureau of Competition, substantially in the form announced and disclosed by the FTC on August 3, 2021, will not result in a failure of the condition set forth in this Section 7.1(c)
to be satisfied. 7.2 Conditions to the Obligations of Parent and Merger Sub. The obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to
consummate the Merger will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where permissible pursuant to applicable Law) at or prior to the Effective Time of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived exclusively by Parent: (a) Representations and Warranties.

set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3(c), Section 3.4, Section 3.7(c) (other than Section 3.7(c)(i)-(v) and (viii)), Section 3.12(a) and Section 3.27 that (A) are not qualified by materiality
or Company Material Adverse Effect will be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date as if made at and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier

Capitalization Date except where the failure to be so true and correct in all respects would not reasonably be expected to result in the requirement of Parent to pay pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(iii), Section 2.8(a) and Section 2.8(b)
additional merger consideration in the aggregate in excess of $10,000,000 that would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(iii), Section 2.8(a) and Section 2.8(b) had the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.7(a)(i), Section 3.7(a)(ii), the second sentence of Section 3.7(a)(iii) and Section 3.7(c) been true and correct as of the Capitalization Date. (b) Performance of Covenants of the Company. The Company will have performed and complied in all material respects with all covenants
in this Agreement required to be performed and complied with by it at or prior to the Closing. (c) Officers
Certificate. Parent and Merger Sub will have received a certificate of the Company, validly executed for and on behalf of the Company and in its name by a duly authorized executive officer, certifying that the conditions set forth in

Effect will have occurred after the date of this Agreement that is continuing. 7.3 Conditions to the Companys

(considered collectively) to be true and correct that would not have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. -93-

have performed and complied in all material respects with all covenants in this Agreement required to be performed and complied with by Parent and Merger Sub at or prior to the Closing. (c) Officers Certificate. The Company will have received a certificate of Parent and Merger Sub, validly executed

None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company may rely, either as a basis for not consummating the
Merger or terminating this Agreement and abandoning the Merger, on the failure of a condition set forth in this Article VII to be satisfied if such failure was primarily caused by such Partys failure to use the requisite efforts to cause the
Closing to occur as required by this Agreement. ARTICLE VIII TERMINATION 8.1
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval (except as provided in this Agreement), only as follows (it being understood and
agreed that this Agreement may not be terminated for any other reason or on any other basis): (a) by mutual written agreement of Parent
and the Company; (b) by either Parent or the Company if any Order issued by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction
preventing, materially restraining or materially impairing the consummation of the Merger has become final and non-appealable, except that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 8.1(b) will not be available to any Party that has failed to comply with the terms of Section 6.1, Section 6.2 or Section 6.20; (c) by either Parent or the Company if the Effective Time has not occurred by 11:59 p.m. on August 9, 2023 (the Termination

of Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Laws, or Orders under Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Laws, that in any such case prevents, materially restrains or materially impairs the consummation of the Merger, then the Termination
Date shall automatically be extended (without any action required by any Party) to 11:59 p.m. on November 9, 2023; it being understood that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) will not be available to

under this Section 8.1, a decree of specific performance from a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with 9.10(b), which decree is effective and requires Parent or the Company, as applicable, to consummate the Merger; (iii) the
Company, if the Parent has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e); and (iv) any Party whose action or failure -94-
to act (which action or failure to act constitutes a breach by such Party of this Agreement) has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, either (A) the failure to satisfy the
conditions to the obligations of the terminating Party to consummate the Merger set forth in Article VII prior to the Termination Date; or (B) the failure of the Effective Time to have occurred prior to the Termination Date; (d) by either Parent or the Company if the Company fails to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting at
which a vote is taken on the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger, except that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) will not be available to any Party whose action or failure to act (which
action or failure to act constitutes a breach by such Party of this Agreement) has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting; (e) by Parent if the Company has breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants
contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, except that (i) if such breach or failure to perform is capable of being cured by the
Termination Date, Parent will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) prior to the delivery by Parent to the Company of written notice of such breach or failure to perform, delivered at least 45 days prior to
such termination, stating Parents intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) and the basis for such termination, it being understood that Parent will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 8.1(e) if such breach or failure to perform has been cured prior to termination; and (ii) Parent will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if, at the time that such termination would
otherwise take effect in accordance with the foregoing, Parent or Merger Sub is in material breach of this Agreement; (f) by Parent if at
any time the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has effected a Company Board Recommendation Change, except that Parents right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(f) will expire at 5:00 p.m. on the 10th Business
Day following the date on which such right to terminate first arose; (g) by the Company if Parent or Merger Sub has breached or failed to
perform in any material respect any of its respective representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or
Section 7.3, except that (i) if such breach or failure to perform is capable of being cured by the Termination Date, the Company will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) prior to the delivery by
the Company to Parent of written notice of such breach or failure to perform, delivered at least 45 days prior to such termination, stating the Companys intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) and the basis
for such termination, it being understood that the Company will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) if such breach or failure to perform has been cured prior to termination; and (ii) the Company will
not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) if, at the time that such termination would otherwise take effect in accordance with the foregoing, the Company is in material breach of this Agreement; -95-
(h) by the Company (at any time prior to receiving the Requisite Stockholder Approval) if
(i) the Company has received a Superior Proposal; (ii) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has authorized the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement to consummate the Acquisition Transaction contemplated by that
Superior Proposal; (iii) the Company has complied in all material respects with Section 5.4 with respect to such Superior Proposal; and (iv) the Company pays, or causes to be paid, to Parent or its designee the Company Termination Fee
pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(iii); or (i) by the Company if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and

to consummate the Closing on the date required pursuant to Section 2.3; (iii) the Company has notified Parent in writing that if Parent performs its obligations under this Agreement and the Equity Financing contemplated by the Equity Commitment
Letter, then the Company stands ready, willing and able to consummate, and will consummate, the Closing; (iv) the Company gives Parent written notice at least two Business Days prior to such termination stating the Companys intention to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(i); and (v) the Closing has not been consummated by the end of such two Business Day period (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent
will not be permitted to terminate this Agreement during such two Business Day period). 8.2 Manner and Notice of Termination; Effect
of Termination. (a) Manner of Termination. The Party terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 (other than
pursuant to Section 8.1(a)) must deliver prompt written notice thereof to the other Parties setting forth in reasonable detail the provision of Section 8.1 pursuant to which this Agreement is being terminated and the facts and
circumstances forming the basis for such termination. (b) Effect of Termination. Any valid termination of this Agreement pursuant
to Section 8.1 will be effective immediately upon the mutual written agreement of Parent and the Company or the delivery of written notice by the terminating Party to the other Parties, as applicable. Following the termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement will be of no further force or effect without liability of any Party (or any direct or indirect equity holder, controlling person, partner, member, manager, stockholder, director, officer, employee,
Affiliate, agent or other Representative of such Party) to the other Parties, as applicable, except, and subject in all respects to this Section 8.2, that Section 6.6(e), Section 6.6(f), Section 6.14, Section 8.3, Article IX
(other than Section 9.10(b)) and this Section 8.2 will each survive the termination of this Agreement, in each case in accordance with their respective terms. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, but subject to Section 8.3, nothing
in this Agreement will relieve any Party from any liability for any intentional common law fraud or any Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement will affect the rights or
obligations of any Party pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter, which rights, obligations and agreements will survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms. -96-
8.3 Fees and Expenses. (a) General. Except as set forth in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
Merger will be paid by the Party incurring such fees and expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent or the Surviving Corporation will be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Payment Agent. Except as
set forth in Section 2.10(e), Parent will pay or cause to be paid all (i) transfer, stamp and documentary Taxes or fees; and (ii) sales, use, real property transfer and other similar Taxes or fees, in each case arising out of or in
connection with entering into this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger. (b) Company Payments. (i) Future Transactions. If (A) this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(c) by Parent at a time when the
Requisite Stockholder Approval has not been obtained, Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e); (B) at the time of such termination, the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(b), and Section 7.1(c) have been satisfied or are capable of
being satisfied and the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) and Section 7.3(b) would be satisfied if the date of such termination was the Closing Date; (C) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e), an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced or publicly disclosed and not withdrawn or otherwise abandoned; and (D) within one
year of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e), as applicable, either an Acquisition Transaction is consummated or the Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for
the consummation of an Acquisition Transaction and such Acquisition Transaction is subsequently consummated at any time, then the Company will, concurrently with the consummation of such Acquisition Transaction, pay or cause to be paid to Parent or
its designee an amount equal to the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in Schedule 8.3(a) (which Schedule may be updated by Parent from time to time). For purposes of this
Section 8.3(b)(i), all references to 15 percent or 85 percent in the definition of Acquisition Transaction will be deemed to be references to 50.1 percent. (ii) Company Board Recommendation Change. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(f), then the Company
must, within two Business Days following such termination, pay or cause to be paid to Parent or its designee the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in Schedule 8.3(a) (which Schedule may
be updated by Parent from time to time). (iii) Superior Proposal. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to
Section 8.1(h), then the Company must, concurrently with such termination, pay or cause to be paid to Parent or its designee the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in Schedule
8.3(b) (which Schedule may be updated by Parent from time to time). -97-
(c) Single Payment Only; Liquidated Damages. The Parties acknowledge and agree that
in no event will the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Company Termination Fee may be payable pursuant to more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times
and upon the occurrence of different events. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) the damages resulting
from the termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation; and (iii) without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement.
Therefore, the Company Termination Fee, if, as and when required to be paid pursuant to this Section 8.3 will not constitute a penalty but rather liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Party receiving such amount in
the circumstances in which it is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger. (d) Payments; Default. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of
this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to Section 8.3(a) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent
commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a judgment against the Company for the amount set forth in Section 8.3(a) then the Company will pay or cause to be paid to the other party the reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys fees) of Parent in connection with such Legal Proceeding, together with interest on
such amount or portion thereof at an annual rate equal to the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal (or other authoritative source to the extent no such figure is published by The Wall Street Journal) on the date that
such payment or portion thereof was required to be made) plus five percent through the date that such payment or portion thereof was actually received, or a lesser rate that is the maximum permitted by applicable Law (collectively,
Enforcement Expenses). (e) Sole and Exclusive Remedy. (i) For the Company Related Parties. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, (A) the Companys
receipt of the Reimbursement Obligations and the Companys right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.10(b) (solely with respect to specifically enforcing its rights under Section 8.2 and this Section 8.3) and the
Companys rights under the Equity Commitment Letter will be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Company Related Parties against the Parent Related Parties in respect of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, the termination of this Agreement, or the failure to consummate the Merger or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure, and, (B) upon
payment of the Reimbursement Obligations, none of the Parent Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to any of the Company Related Parties or any other Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction
Documents, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, or for any matters forming the basis of such termination, except that, in each case (x) the Parties or their respective Affiliates (or both) will remain
obligated with respect to, and the Company and its Subsidiaries may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 8.2 and -98-
Section 8.3(a), as applicable; and (y) the Guarantors will remain obligated, and the Company and its Subsidiaries may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Equity Commitment Letter.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.3(e)(i) will not relieve Parent, Merger Sub or the Guarantors from any liability (1) for any intentional common law fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement, except that under no circumstances
will the collective monetary damages payable by the Parent Related Parties (including for any Willful Breach (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, intentional common law fraud)) under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter, or any
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, exceed an amount, in the aggregate, equal to $104,000,000 plus the Reimbursement Obligations (such aggregate amount, the Parent Liability Limitation) or (2) for any breaches of the
Confidentiality Agreement; or (3) pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable. In no event will any of the Company Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf
to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation (except for intentional common law fraud or pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable) against the
Parent Related Parties, and, other than with respect to intentional common law fraud or pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable, in no event will any Company Related Parties be entitled to seek or
obtain any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against the Parent Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Merger, the Equity
Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger, or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such
breach, termination or failure. Nothing in this Section 8.3(e)(i) will preclude any liability of the Debt Financing Sources to the Company, Parent or Merger Sub under the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing or limit the Company
(following the Closing), Parent or Merger Sub from seeking to recover any such damages or obtain equitable relief from or with respect to any Debt Financing Source pursuant to the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing. In no event
will any Parent Related Party other than the Guarantors (solely as and to the extent provided in the Equity Commitment Letter), Parent and Merger Sub have any liability for monetary damages to the Company or any other Company Related Party relating
to or arising out of this Agreement or the Merger. (ii) For the Parent Related Parties. If this Agreement is validly terminated
pursuant to Section 8.1, Parents receipt of the Company Termination Fee to the extent owed pursuant to Section 8.3(b), any Enforcement Expenses and Parents right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.10(b) will be
the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parent Related Parties against the Company Related Parties in respect of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, the termination
of this Agreement, or the failure to consummate the Merger. Upon payment of the Company Termination Fee (to the extent owed pursuant to Section 8.3(b)) and any Enforcement Expenses, none of the Company Related Parties will have any further
liability or obligation to any of the Parent Related Parties or any other Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, or for any
matters forming the basis of such termination, except that the Parties or their respective Affiliates (or both) will remain obligated with respect to, and Parent may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement and
-99-
Section 8.2 and Section 8.3(a), as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.3(e)(ii) will not relieve the Company from any liability (1) for any intentional
common law fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement, except that under no circumstances will the collective monetary damages payable by the Company for breaches (including for any Willful Breach (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt,
intentional common law fraud)) under this Agreement (taking into account the payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Agreement) exceed an amount, in the aggregate, equal to the amount of the Company Termination Fee plus any
Enforcement Expenses (such aggregate amount, the Company Liability Limitation) or (2) for any breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement; or (3) pursuant to Section 8.3(a). In no event will any of the Parent Related
Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Company Liability Limitation (except for intentional common law
fraud, pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable) against the Company Related Parties, and, other than with respect to intentional common law fraud, pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement, or
pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable, in no event will Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to seek or obtain any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, in excess of the Company Liability
Limitation against the Company Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement or the Merger, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger, or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such
breach, termination or failure. For the avoidance of doubt, other than the obligations of the Company provided in this Agreement, no Company Related Party or any Person other than the Company will have any liability for monetary damages to any
Parent Related Party or any other Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Merger. ARTICLE IX GENERAL PROVISIONS 9.1

This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or
referred to in this Agreement, including the Confidentiality Agreement, the Voting Agreements, the Disclosure Letters and the Equity Commitment Letter, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this

accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to, and will not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies under this Agreement, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated by
Section 6.10 and this Section 9.8; and (b) from and after the Effective Time, the -103-
rights of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Warrants and Company Equity-Based Awards to receive the merger consideration set forth in Article II. The provisions of
Section 9.3, Section 9.12(b), Section 9.13 and this Section 9.8 will inure to the benefit of the Debt Financing Sources and their successors and assigns, each of whom is intended to be a third-party beneficiary thereof (it being

competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to
effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes
of such void or unenforceable provision. 9.10 Remedies. (a) Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a Party will be

to the contrary in any Transaction Document or otherwise, although the Company may, subject in all respects to Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Section 9.16 and this Section 9.10 (and, in each case, the limitations set forth herein or
therein), pursue both (i) a grant of specific performance, and (ii) payment of monetary damages pursuant to Section 8.2(b), under no circumstances will the Company, directly or indirectly, be permitted or entitled to receive both a
grant of specific performance or other equitable relief to cause the Equity Financing to be funded (whether under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter) and the occurrence of the Closing, on the one hand, and (1) payment of any
monetary damages (including any monetary damages in lieu of specific performance) whatsoever or (2) payment of any of the Reimbursement Obligations, on the other hand. Parent may, at Parents election, settle, discharge, preclude, obviate

accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (b) Specific Performance. (i) Irreparable Damage. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an
adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions that are required of it by this Agreement in order to consummate the Merger) in accordance
with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties -104-
acknowledge and agree that (A) the Parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other
equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms of this Agreement (including specific performance or other equitable relief to cause Parent to perform any obligations required of
it and to enforce its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter (or to directly enforce the obligation to fund the Equity Financing in accordance with, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of, the Equity Commitment Letter) and to cause Parent to
consummate the Merger); (B) the provisions of Section 8.3 are not intended to and do not adequately compensate the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, for the harm that would result from a breach of this
Agreement, and will not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Partys right to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief; and (C) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the
Merger and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. (ii) No Objections;
Cooperation. The Parties agree not to raise any objections to (A) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the
one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand; and (B) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and
agreements of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be
required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. Each
Party agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the other Parties in seeking and agreeing to an expedited schedule in any litigation seeking an injunction or order of specific performance to attempt to fully resolve any
dispute between the Parties prior to the Termination Date. 9.11 Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and construed in

Section 9.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, but nothing in this Section 9.12 will affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (ii) irrevocably
and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any Legal Proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in the event that any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement, the Equity

VOTING AGREEMENT
This Voting Agreement (this Agreement), dated as of February 9, 2023, is entered into by and among Serrano Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Parent), and ____________ (the Stockholder). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) Sumo Logic, a Delaware corporation (the Company), (ii) Parent and (iii) Serrano Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub), will enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended from time to time, the Merger Agreement), which provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the Merger), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent;
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder is the record and/or beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock), set forth opposite such Stockholders name on Exhibit A hereto under the heading Owned Shares (the Owned Shares); and
WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement and as an inducement and in consideration therefor, Parent has required that the Stockholder agree, and the Stockholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Stockholder and Parent hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Vote the Covered Shares. Beginning on the date hereof until the Termination Date (as defined below), at every meeting of the Company Stockholders, including any postponement, recess or adjournment thereof, or in any action by written consent, the Stockholder agrees to, and if applicable, to cause its controlled Affiliates to, affirmatively vote (including via proxy) or execute consents with respect to (or cause to be voted (including via proxy), or consents to be executed with respect to) all of the Owned Shares and any additional shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company acquired by the Stockholder or its respective controlled Affiliates after the date hereof and prior to the Termination Date (collectively, and together with the Owned Shares, the Covered Shares) as follows: (a) in favor of (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger, including any amended and restated Merger Agreement or amendment to the Merger Agreement that, in any such case, increases the Per Share Price or otherwise results in the terms of the Merger Agreement being more favorable to the Company Stockholders (in their capacity as such) than the Merger Agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, any adverse amendment), and (ii) the approval of any proposal to adjourn or postpone any Company Stockholder Meeting to a later date if the Company or Parent proposes or requests such postponement or adjournment in accordance with Section 6.4(b) of the Merger Agreement; and (b) against action, agreement or proposal that would reasonably be expected to prevent or
materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Merger (clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the Supported Matters).Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Stockholder to vote in any manner with respect to any amendment to the Merger Agreement or the taking of any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the amendment, modification or waiver of a provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that (1) decreases the Per Share Price or changes the form of the consideration payable to Company Stockholders in the Merger; (2) imposes any restrictions or any additional conditions on the consummation of the Merger or the payment of the Per Share Price to Company Stockholders; or (3) extends the Termination Date. Beginning on the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Stockholder agrees to, and agrees to cause its applicable controlled Affiliates to, be present, in person or by proxy, at every meeting of the Company Stockholders, including any postponement, recess or adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstance, however called, to vote on the Supported Matters (in the manner described in this Section 1) so that all of the Covered Shares will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meeting, or otherwise cause the Covered Shares to be counted as present threat for purposes of establishing a quorum. For the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to the Supported Matters, the Stockholder does not have any obligation to vote the Covered Shares in any particular manner and, with respect to such other matters (other than the Supported Matters), the Stockholder shall be entitled to vote the Covered Shares in its sole discretion.
2. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically and without further action upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the Effective Time, (iii) the time that the Requisite Stockholder Approval has been obtained or (iv) the amendment of any term or provision of the Merger Agreement that reduces the Per Share Price or changes the form of consideration payable to the Company Stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement (such date, the Termination Date); provided that the provisions set forth in Sections 13 through 23 shall survive the termination of this Agreement; and provided further that, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 8.3(e)(ii) of the Merger Agreement, the termination of this Agreement shall not prevent any party hereto from seeking any remedies (at law or in equity) against any other party hereto for that partys Willful Breach of this Agreement that may have occurred on or before such termination.

12. Interpretation. Section 1.3 of the Merger Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (along with the documents referenced herein) and the Merger Agreement collectively constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties both written and oral, among the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
14. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, 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.
15. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the parties (i) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process (whether inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts) in any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 11 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, but nothing in this Section 15 will affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (ii) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any Legal Proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in the event that any dispute or controversy arises out of or relates to this Agreement; (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any Chosen Court; (iv) agrees that any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be brought, tried and determined only in the Chosen Courts; (v) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts or that such Legal Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and
7
agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (vi) agrees that it will not bring any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Each of the parties agrees that a final judgment in any Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORTIOUS CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND AGREES 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) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER; (c) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (d) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 15.
16. Assignment; Successors. Other than as provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
17. Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any party hereto failing to take such actions that are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties hereto will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, neither Parent nor the Stockholder would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto agree not to raise any objections to (i) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other party and (ii) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of the parties pursuant to this Agreement. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be required to provide any bond or other security in
8
connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. Each party agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the other party in seeking and agreeing to an expedited schedule in any litigation seeking an injunction or order of specific performance to attempt to fully resolve any dispute between the parties prior to the Termination Date.
18. Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, general or limited partner, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any party hereto or any of their successors or permitted assigns or any direct or indirect director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, general or limited partner, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney, Representative, successor or permitted assign of any of the foregoing (each, a Non-Recourse Party), shall have any liability to the Stockholder or Parent for any obligations or liabilities of any party under this Agreement or for any Legal Proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith.
19. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
20. Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by electronic delivery, will be treated in all manners and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto may raise the use of an electronic delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an electronic delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
9
21. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, and the terms and conditions hereof may be waived, only by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto, or, in the case of a waiver, by an instrument signed on behalf of the party waiving compliance. No failure or delay on the part of a party in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or power.
22. No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Parent and the Stockholder acknowledge that each party to this Agreement has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of Law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.
23. No Agreement until Executed. It is the explicit understanding and intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement cannot be effective at any time prior to the approval of the Company Board, for purposes of any applicable anti-takeover Laws and regulations, and any applicable provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreements and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger.
