ARTICLE 2

CONVERSION OF SHARES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

2.1 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or the holders of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub:

(i) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, but excluding Excluded Shares, shall be converted automatically into the right to receive a number of Parent Common Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”, subject to Section 2.1(d) with respect to fractional Parent Common Shares and Section 2.2(c) with respect to dividends or distributions). All shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.1(a) shall be automatically cancelled and cease to exist on the conversion thereof, and uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) and each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration (including the right to receive, pursuant to Section 2.1(d), the Fractional Share Cash Amount and, pursuant to Section 2.2(c), dividends or distributions) into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Book-Entry Share or Certificate have been converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(i).

(ii) Treatment of Excluded Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise), Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares held on behalf of third parties, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. The shares described in this Section 2.1(a)(ii) are referred to herein as the “Excluded Shares”.

(iii) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

3

(b) No Dissenters’ Rights. In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or the outstanding Parent Common Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class of shares by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change.

(d) No Fractional Shares.

(i) No fractional Parent Common Shares shall be issued in connection with the Merger and no certificates or scrip representing fractional Parent Common Shares shall be delivered on the conversion of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i). Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive as a result of the Merger a fraction of a Parent Common Share (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu of such fractional Parent Common Share, cash (without interest) in an amount (rounded to the nearest cent) representing such holder’s proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent, on behalf of all such holders, of the aggregate number of fractional Parent Common Shares that would otherwise have been issuable to such holders as part of the Merger Consideration (the “Fractional Share Cash Amount”).

(ii) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall, on behalf of all such holders of fractional Parent Common Shares, effect the sale of all such Parent Common Shares that would otherwise have been issuable as part of the Merger Consideration at the then-prevailing prices on the NYSE or Nasdaq, as applicable, or the TSX. After the proceeds of such sale have been received, the Exchange Agent shall determine the applicable Fractional Share Cash Amount payable to each applicable holder and shall make such amounts available to such holders in accordance with Section 2.2(b). The Parties acknowledge that payment of such cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(iii) No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional Parent Common Share that would otherwise have been issuable as part of the Merger Consideration.

(e) Issuance of Compensatory Shares. In order to compensate Parent for the issuance by Parent of the Parent Common Shares required to be issued pursuant to the Merger, the Surviving Corporation shall issue to Parent a number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i).

4

2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub shall designate Parent’s transfer agent or a bank or trust company to serve as exchange agent hereunder and approved in advance by the Company in writing (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the “Exchange Agent”). Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, on behalf of Merger Sub, deposit or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, evidence of Parent Common Shares in book-entry form representing the number of Parent Common Shares sufficient to deliver the aggregate Merger Consideration deliverable pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i). Parent agrees to deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent from time to time, as needed, cash sufficient to pay any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(c). Any such cash and book-entry shares deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to as the “Exchange Fund”.

(b) Payment Procedures.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1, (A) a letter of transmittal, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), with respect to Book-Entry Shares (to the extent applicable) and Certificates (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only on delivery of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually reasonably agree), and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Book-Entry Shares (to the extent applicable) or Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

(ii) On surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Exchange Agent shall be required to promptly deliver to each such holder, the Merger Consideration, into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Article 2 (together with any Fractional Share Cash Amount and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c)). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any amount payable on due surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in

5

proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid.

(iii) The Parties and any other Person that has any withholding obligation with respect to any payment made pursuant to this Agreement as determined by such Party or person in good faith shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from any payment such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or under any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made. The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to reduce or eliminate withholding tax in connection with any payment made pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(c) Treatment of Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Shares shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered shares of Company Common Stock to be converted into Parent Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) until such holder shall surrender such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.2. After the surrender in accordance with this Section 2.2 of a share of Company Common Stock to be converted into Parent Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i), the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive (in addition to the Merger Consideration and the Fractional Share Cash Amount payable to such holder pursuant to this Article 2) any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the Parent Common Shares represented by such share of Company Common Stock, less such withholding or deduction for any Taxes required by applicable Law. Until the holders of any unsurrendered shares of Company Common Stock surrender such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.2, each unsurrendered share of Company Common Stock shall represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the Merger Consideration and the Fractional Share Cash Amount payable to such holder pursuant to this Article 2, and the holders of such unsurrendered shares of Company Common Stock shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company or the Surviving Corporation. After and only after surrender in accordance with this Section 2.2, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the whole Parent Common Shares that the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such unsurrendered certificate have been converted into the right to receive.

(d) Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, valid Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer or any other reason, such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be cancelled and the holder of any such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be given a copy of the letter of transmittal referred to in Section 2.2(b) and instructed to comply with the instructions in that letter of transmittal in order to receive the consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article 2.

6

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of shares of Company Common Stock on the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall thereafter be delivered, at the direction of Surviving Corporation, to Parent on demand, and any former holders of shares of Company Common Stock who have not surrendered their shares in accordance with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration (together with the Fractional Share Cash Amount and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c)) without any interest thereon, on due surrender of their shares.

(f) No Liability. None of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any Parent Common Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official or Governmental Entity pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the date on which the Exchange Fund would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity shall cease to represent any claim of any kind or nature and shall be deemed to be surrendered for cancellation to Parent.

(g) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent may invest any or all cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, that any investment of such cash shall be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government; provided, further, that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Article 2, and following any losses from any such investment, Parent shall promptly provide, on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, any additional funds necessary to satisfy its obligations hereunder to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to or at the direction of Parent pursuant to Section 2.2(e).

(h) Lost Certificates. In the case of any Certificate that has been lost, stolen or destroyed, on the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration (together with the Fractional Share Cash Amount and any dividends or other distributions deliverable pursuant to Section 2.2(c)) payable in accordance with Section 2.1 with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.

2.3 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Each award of shares of Company Common Stock granted subject to any vesting, forfeiture or other lapse restrictions (each, a “Company Restricted Share Award”) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, at the Effective Time, be assumed by and remain at the Surviving Corporation and shall be converted into a restricted share award (a “Parent Restricted Share Award”) in respect of that number of Parent Common Shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Restricted Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Except as expressly provided in this Section 2.3(a), each such Parent Restricted Share Award shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including settlement terms) as applied to the corresponding Company Restricted Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time.

7

(b) Each award of restricted stock units (excluding any Company Performance Share Award described in Section 2.3(c)) in respect of shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company RSU Award”), whether payable in whole or in part in shares of Company Common Stock or cash, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be assumed by and remain at the Surviving Corporation and shall be converted into a restricted stock unit award (a “Parent RSU Award”) in respect of that number of Parent Common Shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Except as expressly provided in this Section 2.3(b), each such Parent RSU Award shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including settlement terms) as applied to the corresponding Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Each award of restricted stock units in respect of shares of Company Common Stock granted subject to performance targets (each, a “Company Performance Share Award”), whether payable in whole or in part in shares of Company Common Stock or cash, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be assumed by and remain at the Surviving Corporation and shall be converted into a Parent RSU Award in respect of that number of Parent Common Shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Performance Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. For purposes of this Section 2.3(c), the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to a Company Performance Share Award with a performance period that is incomplete (or that is complete but for which performance is not determinable due to the unavailability of the required data for relative measures) as of the Effective Time shall be determined as if performance had been achieved at the target level (i.e., 100%). After the Effective Time, each such Parent RSU Award granted pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) shall be scheduled to vest, subject to the holder’s continued service with the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries, on the last day of the originally scheduled performance period for the corresponding Company Performance Share Award. Except as expressly provided in this Section 2.3(c) each such Parent RSU Award shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including settlement terms) as applied to the corresponding Company Performance Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, through the Company Board or an appropriate committee thereof, shall adopt such resolutions as may reasonably be required to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 2.3.

54

(c) The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3 notwithstanding, neither the Company nor Parent shall be required to afford such access or furnish such information if it would unreasonably disrupt the operations of such party or any of its Subsidiaries, would cause a violation of any agreement to which such party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, would result in a loss of privilege or trade secret protection to such party or any of its Subsidiaries, would result in the disclosure of any information in connection with any litigation or similar dispute among the Parties hereto, would constitute a violation of any applicable Law or result in the disclosure of any personal information that would expose the such party to the risk of liability. In the event that Parent or the Company objects to any request submitted pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 5.3 and withholds information on the basis of the foregoing sentence, the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall inform the other party as to the general nature of what is being withheld and the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure that does not suffer from any of the foregoing impediments, including through the use of reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain the required consent or waiver of any third party required to provide such information and (ii) implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to remove the basis for the objection, including by arrangement of appropriate clean room procedures, if the Parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the disclosure of such information without violating applicable Law or jeopardizing such privilege.

(e) Each of the Company and Parent hereby agrees that all information provided to it or any of its Representatives in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be “Confidential Information,” as such term is used in, and shall be treated in accordance with, the non-disclosure agreement, dated October 3, 2021, between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(f) No investigation by any of the Parties or their respective Representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive the representations and warranties of the other set forth herein.

5.5 No Solicitation by the Company.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.5, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the Termination Date, the Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, and its and their respective directors and officers not to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiry regarding, or the making or submission of any proposal, offer or indication of interest that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, or result in, a Company Alternative Proposal, (ii) engage in, knowingly encourage, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding a Company Alternative Proposal, or any communications regarding or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to, or result in, a Company Alternative Proposal (except to notify such Person that the provisions of this Section 5.5 prohibit any such discussions or negotiations), (iii) furnish any nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with or for the purpose of facilitating a Company Alternative Proposal or any inquiry, proposal, offer or indication of interest that would reasonably be expected to lead to, or result in, a Company Alternative Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of any confidential information provided to any third party in connection with any Company Alternative Proposal; (iv) recommend or enter

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.5 to the contrary, at any time prior to, but not after, obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, if the Company receives a bona fide, unsolicited Company Alternative Proposal in writing that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.5 (which Company Alternative Proposal is not withdrawn), the Company and its Representatives may contact the third party making such Company Alternative Proposal to clarify the terms and conditions thereof. If the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors that such Company Alternative Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Company Superior Proposal, then the Company may take the following actions: (i) furnish nonpublic information to the third party making such Company Alternative Proposal (including its Representatives, including its equity and debt financing sources) in response to a request therefor, if, and only if, (A) prior to so furnishing such information the third party has executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company (a copy of which shall be provided to Parent within 24 hours of execution) having confidentiality and use provisions that, in each case, are not less restrictive to such third party than the provisions in the Confidentiality Agreement are to Parent (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not contain any “standstill” or similar provisions or otherwise prohibit the making or amendment of any Company Alternative Proposal, but such confidentiality agreement shall not grant such third party the exclusive right to negotiate with the Company); and (B) the Company also provides to Parent, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time such non-public information is provided or made available to such third party, any non-public information furnished to such third party that was not previously furnished to Parent; provided, however, that if the third party making such Company Alternative Proposal is a known competitor of the Company or the Parent, the Company shall not provide any commercially sensitive non-public information to such third party in connection with any actions permitted by this Section 5.5(b) other than in accordance with customary “clean room” or other similar procedures designed to limit the disclosure of competitively sensitive information, and (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations with the third party (including its Representatives) with respect to the Company Alternative Proposal. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent in writing if: (i) any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to a Company Alternative Proposal are received by the Company or any of its Representatives or (ii) any information is requested from the Company or any of its Representatives that, to the Knowledge of the Company, has been or is reasonably likely to have been made in connection with any Company Alternative Proposal, which notice shall identify the material terms and conditions thereof (including the name of the applicable third party and complete copies of any written requests, proposals or offers and any other material documents, including proposed agreements).

66

be adjourned or postponed to a date on or after two (2) Business Days prior to the End Date or a date that requires the Company to select a new record date under applicable Law. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedure and matters required by applicable Law to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders in connection with the adoption of this Agreement) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the shareholders of the Company at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

(e) Subject to Section 5.6, Section 5.7(f) and Section 5.7(g), Parent shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Parent to set a record date for, duly give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders following the mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Shareholder Approval (the “Parent Shareholder Meeting”) on a date mutually selected by the Company and Parent as soon as reasonably practicable following the Clearance Date and, in any case, within forty-five (45) days following the Clearance Date. Unless Parent shall have made a Parent Change of Recommendation in compliance with Section 5.6, Parent shall include the Parent Recommendation in the Management Information Circular and shall solicit, and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, the Parent Shareholder Approval at the Parent Shareholder Meeting (including by soliciting proxies in favor of the approval of the Parent Share Issuance) as soon as reasonably practicable.

(f) Parent shall cooperate with and keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis regarding its solicitation efforts and voting results following the dissemination of the Management Information Circular to its shareholders. Parent (i) shall adjourn or postpone the Parent Shareholder Meeting (A) to allow time for the filing and dissemination of any supplemental or amended disclosure document that the Parent Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) is required to be filed and disseminated under applicable Law or (B) if as of the time that the Parent Shareholder Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Management Information Circular) there are insufficient Parent Common Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Parent Shareholder Meeting and (ii) may, and at the Company’s request shall, adjourn or postpone the Parent Shareholder Meeting to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies necessary to obtain the Parent Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Parent Shareholder Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date that is more than twenty (20) Business Days after the date for which the Parent Shareholder Meeting was previously scheduled; provided, further, that the Parent Shareholder Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date on or after two (2) Business Days prior to the End Date or a date that requires Parent to select a new record date under applicable Law. Without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the approval of the Parent Share Issuance shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedure and matters required by applicable Law to be voted on by Parent’s shareholders in connection with the approval of the Parent Share Issuance) that Parent shall propose to be acted on by the shareholders of Parent at the Parent Shareholder Meeting.

(g) Subject to applicable Law, each of the Parties shall reasonably cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to cause the record dates and date and time of the Company Stockholder Meeting and the Parent Shareholder Meeting to be coordinated such that they occur on the same calendar day (and in any event as close in time as possible).

67

(h) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees that its obligations to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not be affected solely by the making of a Company Change of Recommendation, and Parent agrees that its obligations to hold the Parent Shareholder Meeting pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not be affected solely by the making of a Parent Change of Recommendation. The Company agrees that notwithstanding any Company Change of Recommendation, this Agreement shall be submitted to the holders of the Company Common Stock at the Company Stockholder Meeting for the purpose of voting on the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger, and its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not be affected by the Company Change of Recommendation, unless the Company terminates this Agreement in accordance with its terms prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting. Parent agrees that notwithstanding any Parent Change of Recommendation, the approval of the Parent Share Issuance in connection with the Merger shall be submitted to the holders of the Parent Common Shares at the Parent Shareholder Meeting, and its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not be affected by the Parent Change of Recommendation, unless Parent terminates this Agreement in accordance with its terms prior to the Parent Shareholder Meeting.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of Parent and the Company shall (and shall cause their Subsidiaries to) use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 6 of this Agreement to be satisfied and to consummate, and make effective as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and in any event prior to the End Date, including by preparing and filing with all Governmental Entities as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement all applications, notices, petitions, filings, ruling requests, and other documents necessary to consummate the Merger, and to obtain as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement all permits, consents, waivers, approvals, clearances, authorizations and expirations or terminations of waiting periods necessary to be obtained from the Antitrust Authorities and any other Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger (collectively, the “Governmental Approvals”). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Party hereto agrees to (A) make an appropriate and complete filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Merger within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement; (B) make all other filings that are required to be made in order to consummate the Merger with the Antitrust Authorities; and (C) not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or the applicable Laws of other applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions of the Antitrust Authorities, if required to have a waiting period, or enter into any agreement with the Antitrust Authorities or any other Governmental Entity not to consummate the Merger, without consulting with the other Party in good faith. Parent and the Company shall supply as promptly as practicable any additional information or documentation that may be requested by the Antitrust Authorities and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Required Antitrust Approvals or to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Law as soon as practicable (including complying with any “second request” for information or similar request from a Governmental Entity pursuant to other regulatory Laws). In connection with the actions referenced in Section 5.7(i) to obtain all Governmental Approvals for the Merger under the Antitrust Laws, each of Parent and the Company shall: (A) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any material communication, filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any Action initiated by a private party; (B) keep the other Party and its counsel promptly informed of any material communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the Antitrust Authorities or other Governmental Entity and of any material communication received or given in connection with any Action by a private party,

68

in each case regarding any of the Merger; (C) consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with the Antitrust Authorities or any other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any Action by a private party, with any other person, and to the extent permitted by the Antitrust Authorities or such other Governmental Entity or other person, give the other Party or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; and (D) permit the other Party and its counsel to review in advance any submission, filing or material communication (and documents submitted therewith) intended to be given by it to the Antitrust Authorities or any other Governmental Entity; provided that materials may be redacted to remove business secrets and other confidential material so long as the disclosing Party acts reasonably in identifying such material for redaction. Parent and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material to be provided to the other under this Section 5.7(i) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Parent or the Company, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. In furtherance and not in limitation of the other covenants of the Parties in this Agreement, if Parent determines, in its sole discretion, to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in any court or other governmental body with respect to the Merger by the FTC, DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Entity, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with and support the Parent’s efforts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in furtherance of the Parties reasonable best efforts, each of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, on the other hand, to the extent required to obtain Required Antitrust Approvals or any necessary Governmental Approvals, shall (x) propose, negotiate or offer to effect, or consent or commit to, any sale, leasing, licensing, transfer, disposal, divestiture or other encumbrance, or holding separate, of any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein (collectively, a “Divestiture”); and (y) take or agree to take any other action, agree or consent to, make any concession in respect of, or permit or suffer to exist any condition or requirement setting forth, any limitations or restrictions on freedom of actions with respect to, or its ability to retain, or make changes in, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein (collectively, a “Remedy”); provided, that the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall not take any such action without Parent’s express prior written consent; and provided further that no such Divestiture or Remedy shall be required if (1) such Divestiture or Remedy would, in the good faith reasonable judgment of Parent, be reasonably expected to materially impair or diminish the benefits or advantages it expects to receive from the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, or (2) such Divestiture or Remedy would have a material adverse effect on the business of (x) Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (y) the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and no Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to take any of the actions referred to above with respect to a Divestiture or Remedy unless the effectiveness thereof is conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing. Parent shall have the right to direct all matters with any Governmental Entity consistent with its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is agreed that Parent shall make all strategic decisions and lead all discussions, negotiations and other proceedings, and coordinate all activities with respect to any requests that may be made by, or any actions, consents, undertakings, approvals, or waivers that may be sought by or from, any Governmental Entity, in connection with obtaining Governmental Approvals for the Merger under the Antitrust Laws, including determining the strategy for contesting, litigating or otherwise responding to objections to, or proceedings challenging, the consummation of the Merger, in each case subject to good faith consultations with the Company reasonably

69

in advance and in consideration of the Company’s views. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall also cooperate with the Parent in good faith with a view to preparing filings that may need to be made post-Closing under any applicable Antitrust Laws, including promptly providing all information that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of such filings and supplying any additional information that may be required or reasonably requested by the applicable Governmental Entity in connection with such filings.

(j) Parent shall not, and shall cause the Parent Subsidiaries not to, and the Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, or take any other action, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation, or the taking of any other action, would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorizations, consents, orders, clearances or approvals of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) increase, in any material respect, the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) increase the risk, in any material respect, of not being able to remove any such Order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.8 Employee Matters.

(a) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on December 31, 2022 (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to provide to each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries, for so long as such employee remains employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries during the Continuation Period (collectively, the “Company Continuing Employees”) with (i) at least the same annual base salary or wage rate provided to such employee by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the opportunity to earn at least the same economic value for the short term incentives provided to such employee by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in respect of calendar year 2021 (iii) continuing medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance benefits that are no less favorable than those provided under the Parent Benefit Plans for similarly situated employees of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iv) the same severance and post-termination benefits that a Company Continuing Employee would have received for a termination of employment immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Company Continuing Employee shall retain all of such Company Continuing Employee’s accrued but unpaid vacation, sick time or other paid time off as of the Effective Time, to be administered in accordance with the policies in effect when such vacation or other paid time off is used during 2022 by each such Company Continuing Employee. With respect to the continuing medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance benefits under this Section 5.8(a), Parent shall cause the applicable Parent Benefit Plan to: (x) waive all pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Company Continuing Employees, to the extent such pre-existing conditions, exclusions or waiting periods were satisfied under the similar Company Benefit Plan in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (y) provide each such Company Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid (to the same extent such credit was given for the year under the similar Company Benefit Plan in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time) in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements.

70

(b) With respect to any Parent Benefit Plan, excluding any retiree health plans or programs maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, if any, any defined benefit retirement plans or programs maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, if any, and any equity compensation arrangements maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Applicable Parent Benefit Plans”) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, with respect to the Continuing Company Employees credit all years of service of such individuals with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as if such service were with Parent, for purposes of eligibility to participate (but not for purposes of vesting or benefit accrual, except for vacation, if applicable) for full or partial years of service in any Applicable Parent Benefit Plan in which such Company Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time; provided, that such service shall not be credited to the extent that: (i) such crediting would result in a duplication of benefits; (ii) such service was not credited under the corresponding Company employee plan, or (iii) such crediting is not allowed by the terms of such Parent Benefit Plan.

(c) The Company shall terminate the Company Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan effective no later than the day immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Parent has its own 401(k) plan, therefore, effective as of no later than the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, the Company will, if requested by Parent in its sole discretion, freeze and terminate the Company’s 401(k) Plan with Fidelity Investments. Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate any Company employee plans maintained by the Company or its Subsidiaries that Parent has requested to be terminated by providing a written notice to the Company at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, provided, that such Company employee plans can be terminated in accordance with their terms and applicable Law. For greater certainty, the provisions of this Section 5.8(c) do not affect the Company equity awards, which shall be affected as set forth in Section 2.3.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 8.10, the provisions of this Section 5.8 are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and no current or former director, employee or consultant or any other person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall prevent Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Company Continuing Employee.

(e) Parent, Merger Sub and Company acknowledge and agree that (i) the Merger will constitute a “Change in Control” (or concept of similar import) under the Company Benefit Plans identified in Section 5.8(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedules and (ii) as a result of the Merger, the individuals identified in Section 5.8(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to have experienced a “Good Reason” event (or concept of similar import), as applicable, as defined under such Company Benefit Plans.

(f) With respect to matters described in this Section 5.8, the Company will not send any written notices or other written communication materials to Company employees without the prior written consent of Parent. The Company will cooperate and collaborate with the Parent on any such notices or communications.

5.9 Company Material Contracts; Consents.

(b) The Company shall give any notices to third parties required under the Company Material Contracts and shall use, and cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to use, its and their reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consents with respect to such Company Material Contracts that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions, including the Merger.

(c) Neither the failure of the Company to provide copies of all Company Material Contracts nor the Company’s failure to receive any required third party consents with respect to such Company Material Contract following the Company’s reasonable best efforts to obtain such consents shall be a breach of this Section 5.9.

5.10 Legal Conditions to the Merger.

Subject in all respects to Section 5.7(i) of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such Party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article 6 hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.11 Takeover Statute.

None of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the Company Board or Parent Board shall take any action that would cause any Takeover Statutes to become applicable to this Agreement, the Merger, or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, and each shall take all necessary steps to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby from any applicable Takeover Statute now or hereafter in effect. If any Takeover Statute shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub and the members of their respective boards of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.12 Public Announcements.

The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall consult with and provide each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, and consider in good faith any reasonable comments by the other Party on, any press release or other public statement or comment prior to the issuance of such press release or other public statement or comment relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or other public statement or comment prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or as may be requested by a Governmental Entity; provided, that the restrictions in this Section 5.12 shall not apply (a) to any Company communication regarding a Company Alternative Proposal or from and after a Company Change of Recommendation or the Company or Parent response thereto, (b) to any Parent communication regarding a Parent Alternative Proposal or the Company or Parent response thereto, (c) in connection with any dispute between or among the Parties regarding this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby or (d) to any statements made by the Company or Parent in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or those participating in investor calls or industry conferences, so long as such statements are consistent with information previously disclosed in previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the Company and/or Parent in compliance with this Section 5.12. Parent and the Company agree to issue a joint press release as the first public disclosure of this Agreement.

72

5.13 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agree that all rights to indemnification and related rights to expense reimbursement, if any, (in each case, solely with respect to claims arising from actions taken or not taken, in each case, in good faith within the scope of their employment or service with the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to Closing) existing in favor of the present directors, officers and employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each such present director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (in each case, solely with respect to such claims when acting in such capacity and scope) being herein referred to as an “Indemnified Party” and such persons collectively being referred to as the “Indemnified Parties”) as provided by the Organizational Documents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or Contracts to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, in effect as of the date hereof and disclosed in Section 5.13(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, will survive, and continue in full force and effect for six years following, the Effective Time, and shall not be amended, restated or otherwise modified by the Merger.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Company may purchase prepaid non-cancellable runoff directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing equivalent coverage and amounts for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events which occur on or prior to the Closing Date, provided that the total cost of such run-off directors’ and officers’ liability insurance shall not exceed 300% of the current annual aggregate premium for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance currently maintained by the Company, as set forth in Section 5.13(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.13 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs. If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person or engages in any similar transaction, then in each such case, the Surviving Corporation will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation will expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.13.

(b) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Parent Common Shares to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE or NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, and the TSX, subject to customary listing conditions prior to the Effective Time.

5.15 Rule 16b-3.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Company Board (or duly formed committees thereof consisting of non-employee directors (as such term is defined for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act)), shall take such actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cause any dispositions of Company equity securities and any acquisition of Parent equity securities (in each case including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

73

No Party shall agree to settle any such litigation without the other Parties’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that the other Parties shall not be obligated to consent to any settlement which does not include a full release of such other Parties and its affiliates or which imposes an injunction or other equitable relief after the Effective Time upon the Surviving Corporation or any of its affiliates.

Nothing contained in this Section 5.21 or otherwise shall require the Company or any of its Affiliates, prior to the Closing, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing. Parent shall, promptly on request by the Company, reimburse the Company and its Affiliates for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by them or their Representatives in connection with such cooperation and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, any action taken by them at the request of Parent or its Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.21 and any information used in connection therewith (other than information provided by or on behalf of the Company expressly for use in connection therewith).

(c) The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 5.21 represent the sole obligation of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of any financing (including the Debt Financing) to be obtained by Parent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no other provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to expand or modify such obligations. In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Debt Financing) by Parent any of its Affiliates or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of Parent’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company’s breach of any of the covenants required to be performed by it under this Section 5.21 shall not be considered in determining the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 6.3(b), unless such breach is the primary cause of Parent being unable to consummate, and obtain the proceeds of, the Debt Financing at or prior to Closing.

(d) All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company or any of its Affiliates obtained by Parent or its Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.21 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that Parent shall be permitted to disclose such information to (i) the Financing Parties subject to their confidentiality obligations under the Debt Commitment Letters and the definitive documentation evidencing the Debt Financing and (ii) otherwise to the extent necessary and consistent with customary practices in connection with the Debt Financing subject to customary confidentiality arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

5.22 Debt Financing.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to use its reasonable best efforts, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to obtain the Debt Financing on the conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letters, including by (i) maintaining in effect the Debt Commitment Letters (subject to any amendment, replacement, supplement, termination modification or waiver permitted elsewhere under this Section 5.22), (ii) negotiating and entering into (on or prior to the Closing Date) definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing including any joinder agreements, indentures, or credit agreements entered into in connection therewith (the “Definitive Agreements”), that are (A) consistent with the conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letters (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter)) or (B) on terms that, with respect to conditionality, are not less favorable to Parent (taken as a whole), (iii) satisfying (or

79

obtaining a waiver of) all conditions in the Debt Commitment Letters and the Definitive Agreements that are applicable to and within the reasonable control of Parent and are necessary to enable the consummation of the Debt Financing concurrently with or prior to Closing, (iv) assuming that all conditions contained in the applicable Debt Commitment Letter have been satisfied, consummating the Debt Financing concurrently with or prior to the Closing, and (v) enforcing its rights under the Debt Commitment Letters, in each case, in a timely and diligent manner; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (1) nothing in this Section 5.22(a) will limit the ability of Parent or its Subsidiaries to pursue the Debt Financing in any manner not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement and (2) in no event shall Parent or its Subsidiaries be required to pay any fees or any interest rates applicable to the Debt Financing in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof (including any flex provisions), or agree to any term (including any flex term) less favorable to Parent than such term contained in such Debt Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof.

(b) In the event (x) any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters that is required to fund the Financing Amounts becomes unavailable (including pursuant to the “flex” terms within the Debt Commitment Letters) regardless of the reason therefor, Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of such unavailability and shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts, to obtain as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative debt or other financing for any such unavailable portion from alternative sources or (y) Parent decides, in its sole discretion, to replace all or any portion of the Debt Financing with alternative debt or other financing (in each case, an “Alternative Financing”), such Alternative Financing shall: (A) be in an amount that, when taken together with the aggregate amount of net proceeds available from the Debt Financing, if any, that remains available and cash and cash equivalents immediately available to Parent at the Closing, is sufficient to pay the Financing Amounts; (B) not be subject to any conditions precedent to funding that are additional to, expand on or are more onerous on the Parent and its Affiliates than, the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters except any customary conditions for a bridge facility or a bond financing that (taken as a whole) are not materially less favorable to Parent (in the reasonable judgment of Parent) than the conditions (taken as a whole) contained in the Debt Commitment Letters and (C) not have any of the effects described in clauses (2) through (4) of Section 5.22(c). Parent or Merger Sub shall provide the Company, upon reasonable request, with information and documentation regarding the Debt Financing as shall be reasonably necessary or advisable to allow the Company to monitor the progress of the Debt Financing activities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall notify the Company as soon as reasonably practicable (x) if the Parent becomes aware that there exists any actual or threatened (in writing) material breach, default, repudiation, cancellation or termination of a Debt Commitment Letter or any Definitive Agreement by any Financing Party thereto of which the Parent has become aware or if Parent has received written communication from any Financing Party with respect to any actual material breach, default, repudiation, cancellation or termination of any provision in a Debt Commitment Letter or any Definitive Agreement thereof by any Financing Party thereto or (y) if Parent determines in good faith that it will not be able to obtain any or all of the Debt Financing on the conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letters prior to Closing. Parent shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all definitive agreements in connection with an Alternative Financing (provided that such copies may be subject to customary redactions with respect to fee amounts and pricing and other economic terms, including “market flex” provisions, none of which would reasonably be expected to affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability, termination or aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing or the Debt Commitment Letters). The provisions of this Section 5.22 shall apply to any Alternative Financing mutatis mutandis. The foregoing notwithstanding, compliance by Parent with this Section 5.22 shall not relieve Parent of its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Debt Financing is available.

80

(c) Parent and its Subsidiaries shall have the right from time to time to amend, replace, restate, supplement, terminate, or otherwise modify, or waive any right or provision under, any Debt Commitment Letter or Definitive Agreement, including to reduce available funding under or to terminate any such Debt Commitment Letter or Definitive Agreement in order to obtain alternative sources of financing in lieu of all or a portion of the Debt Financing, including by way of one or more offerings of debt or other securities; provided that, none of Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall (without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) consent or agree to any amendment, replacement, supplement, termination or modification to, or any waiver of any provision under, the Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements (it being understood that the exercise of any “market flex” provisions set forth in the Initial Debt Commitment Letter (or any similar “market flex” provisions set forth in other Debt Commitment Letters; provided that such provisions (taken as a whole) are not materially less favorable to Parent than the “market flex” provisions set forth in the Initial Debt Commitment Letter) shall not be deemed an amendment, replacement, supplement, termination, modification or waiver for this purposes) if such amendment, replacement, supplement, termination, modification or waiver (1) decreases (or has the effect of decreasing) the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (including, for greater certainty, any Alternative Financing) to an amount that, when taken together with cash or cash equivalents immediately available to Parent and the Company on the Closing Date, would be less than the amount that would be required to pay the Financing Amounts, (2) would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Merger or prevent or materially impede the repayment or refinancing of a material portion of any indebtedness of the Company that constitutes “Refinanced Indebtedness” (as defined in the Initial Debt Commitment Letter), in each case, as contemplated by this Agreement, (3) materially adversely impacts the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, (4) imposes material obligations on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would be effective prior to Closing, or (5) adds new (or adversely modifies in any material respect any existing) conditions precedent to the consummation of all or any portion of the Debt Financing (except any customary conditions for a bridge facility or a bond financing that (taken as a whole) are not (in the reasonable judgment of Parent) materially less favorable to Parent than the conditions (taken as a whole) contained in the Debt Commitment Letters); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in the Agreement to the contrary, Parent and its Subsidiaries may amend, replace, supplement and/or modify any of the Debt Commitment Letters or Definitive Agreements to add or appoint, as applicable, lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, underwriters, agents, syndication agents or similar entities as parties thereto who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date of this Agreement, provide for the assignment and reallocation of a portion of the financing commitments contained therein and to grant customary approval rights to such additional entities in connection with their addition or appointment or increase the amount of commitments under the Debt Commitment Letters or any or Definitive Agreements. Upon executing any amendment, supplement or modification of the Debt Commitment Letters, Parent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event, within two (2) Business Days), provide a copy thereof to the Company (provided that such copy may be subject to customary redactions with respect to fee amounts, pricing and other economic terms, including “market flex” provisions, none of which redacted provisions would reasonably be expected to affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability, termination or aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing contemplated by such Debt Commitment Letters) and, to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification has

81

been made in compliance with this Section 5.22(c), the terms: (x) “Debt Commitment Letters” and “Definitive Agreements” shall mean the Debt Commitment Letters or Definitive Agreements, as applicable, in each case as so amended, replaced, supplemented or modified and (y) “Debt Financing” shall be deemed to include, in whole or in part (as applicable), the amended or modified financing, or the replacement or substituted financing contemplated thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, compliance by Parent with this Section 5.22(c) shall not relieve Parent of its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Debt Financing is available. To the extent Parent obtains Alternative Financing pursuant to this Section 5.22(c), all references in this Agreement to (i) the “Debt Financing,” shall be deemed to include such Alternative Financing and (ii) “Debt Commitment Letters” or “Definitive Agreements”, as applicable, shall be deemed to include the applicable commitment or similar letter(s) and any related fee letter(s), or underwriting, agency or purchase agreement or credit agreement, or other definitive documentation for such Alternative Financing.
