(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) and (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”). As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares (the “Payment Fund”). Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

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

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

(d) All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Uncertificated Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this ARTICLE 3.

(e) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.04 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.05 in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

Section 3.05. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 3.03, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock canceled in accordance with Section 3.03(b)) and held by a holder who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment of the appraised value of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law; provided that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal, pursuant to Section 262 of Delaware Law or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of Delaware Law, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.03(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Uncertificated Share, as the case may be, subject to Section 3.09. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Delaware Law that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to participate in all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

Section 3.06. Company Compensatory Awards; ESPP

(a) At the Effective Time by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, the unvested portion of each Company Compensatory Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a Person who is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Ultimate Parent and converted automatically at the Effective Time into a corresponding option, share of restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance share or performance share unit, as the case may be, denominated in shares of Ultimate Parent Stock and subject to terms and conditions identical to those in effect at the Effective Time (each such assumed unvested portion of a Company Compensatory Award, an “Assumed Company Award”), except that (i) the number of shares of Ultimate Parent Stock that will be subject to each such Assumed Company Award shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Company Award by a fraction (the “Award Exchange Ratio”), the numerator of which is the per share Merger Consideration and the denominator of which is the average closing price of Ultimate Parent Stock on the NYSE over the five (5) trading days immediately preceding (but not including) the date on which the Effective Time occurs (rounded down to the nearest whole share), (ii) Ultimate Parent or one of its Affiliates shall have any and all administrative authority with respect to such Assumed Company Award and (iii) if applicable, the exercise or purchase price per share of each such Assumed Company Award shall equal (x) the per share exercise or purchase price of each such Assumed Company Award divided by (y) the Award Exchange Ratio (rounded upwards to the nearest whole cent); provided, however, that in no case shall the assumption of the unvested portion of a Company Stock Option be performed in a manner that is not in material compliance with the requirements of Sections 409A or 424(a) of the Code. At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Plan pursuant to which any Assumed Company Award has been granted shall be assumed by Ultimate Parent.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vested portion (including any portion that pursuant to its terms becomes vested solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) of each outstanding Company Compensatory Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each such vested portion of a Company Compensatory Award, a “Cashed Out Compensatory Award”) shall not be assumed by the Ultimate Parent pursuant to this Section 3.06 and shall, immediately prior to the Effective Time, be cancelled and extinguished and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such Cashed Out Compensatory Award shall have the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Cashed Out Compensatory Award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Merger Consideration less any per share exercise or purchase price of such Cashed Out Compensatory Award immediately prior to such cancellation and (ii) an amount equal to any dividend equivalent rights payable with respect to such vested portion of the Company Compensatory Award (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Compensatory Award Payments”). From and after the Effective Time, any such Cashed Out Compensatory Award shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof or settleable in shares, but shall entitle such holder only to the payment of the Compensatory Award Payment; provided that any Cashed Out Compensatory Award that has an exercise price or purchase price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled without any consideration therefor. The Compensatory Award Payments shall be paid as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any performance metrics relating to any Company Performance Award that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, remain subject to the achievement of such performance metrics shall be deemed achieved at the greater of (i) target levels as of immediately prior to the Effective Time or (ii) levels based on actual achievement of pro-rated performance goals through the Effective Time. Any Company Performance Awards that are deemed earned in accordance with the foregoing sentence will then (following the vesting of any Company Performance Award, in whole or in part, pursuant to its terms as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) be subject to vesting based on continued service with the Company, Parent, Ultimate Parent or their respective Subsidiaries through the scheduled vesting dates applicable to such awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the unvested portion of each Company Compensatory Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a Person who is not an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each such unvested portion of a Company Compensatory Award, a “Terminated Compensatory Award”) shall not be assumed by Ultimate Parent pursuant to this Section 3.06 and shall, immediately prior to the Effective Time, be cancelled and extinguished for no consideration. From and after the Effective Time, any such Terminated Compensatory Award shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof or settleable in shares. The Company shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Company Stock Plans, applicable award agreements, Applicable Law or otherwise) to effect the provisions of this Section 3.06(c) and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, each holder of a Terminated Compensatory Award shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

(d) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the reservation, issuance and listing of Ultimate Parent Stock as is necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by Section 3.06(a). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to each holder of any Assumed Company Award or any Cashed Out Compensatory Award an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant to such Assumed Company Award or Cashed Out Compensatory Award, as applicable. Ultimate Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the shares of Ultimate Parent Stock issuable upon exercise or settlement of the

Assumed Company Awards on or prior to the date set forth on Section 3.06(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and Ultimate Parent shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such Assumed Company Awards remain outstanding. The Company and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Ultimate Parent in the preparation of such registration statement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Form S-8 registration statement shall not cover any Cashed Out Compensatory Awards.

(e) The Company shall take such action as may be necessary under the Company’s 2001 Associate Stock Purchase Plan, as amended and restated on January 1, 2019 (the “ESPP”), to: (i) terminate all offering periods under the ESPP as of a date that is at least 5 calendar days prior to the Expiration Date (the “Final Exercise Date”); (ii) provide that no further offering periods shall commence under the ESPP on or following the offering period immediately succeeding the offering period in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Successor Offering Period”); (iii) provide that, after the commencement of the Successor Offering Period, no new participants can be admitted into the ESPP and no current participant can increase such participant’s contribution levels; and (iv) terminate the ESPP as of the Final Exercise Date, subject to the Closing. Each outstanding right under the ESPP on the Final Exercise Date (if any) shall be exercised on such date for the purchase of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the ESPP and any outstanding Company Common Stock obtained through the exercise of such outstanding right shall be treated as set forth in Sections 3.03 and 3.04. The Company shall provide timely notice of the setting of the Final Exercise Date and termination of the ESPP in accordance with the terms of the ESPP.

(f) Following the Effective Time, no holder of a Company Compensatory Award or any participant in any Company Stock Plan, Company Employee Plan or employee benefit arrangement of the Company or any individual party to an employment agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have any right hereunder or otherwise to acquire any Equity Interest (including any “phantom” stock or stock appreciation rights) in the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation.

(g) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement and in any event prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take any and all such actions as are necessary (under the Company Stock Plans, applicable award agreements, Applicable Law or otherwise) to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.06, including by amending the applicable Company Stock Plans or the ESPP.

Section 3.07. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend, or any similar transaction, or any record date for any such purpose shall be established, the Offer Price, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 3.08. Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any applicable Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the applicable Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 3.09. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated under this ARTICLE 3.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except: (a) as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents (other than as set forth in the forward-looking statements or as set forth in the risk factors contained therein) filed or furnished on or after January 1, 2018 and prior to the date of this Agreement; or (b) as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Subsidiary prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), which identifies items of disclosure by reference to a particular Section or subsection of this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Subsidiary as follows:

Section 5.01. Corporate Existence and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all corporate powers required to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has heretofore made available to Parent complete and correct copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as currently in effect as of the date hereof. The Company has heretofore made available to Parent complete and correct copies of the minutes (or, in the case of draft minutes, the most recent drafts thereof) of all meetings of the stockholders of the Company, the Company Board and each committee of the Company Board and the Boards of Directors (or similar governing bodies) and each committee thereof of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries held since January 1, 2018, provided that, with respect to meetings for which draft or final minutes are not yet available, the Company has provided to Parent a materially complete and correct summary thereof.

Section 5.02. Corporate Authorization.

(a) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. No vote of the holders of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock is required to approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar Applicable Law affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

(b) At a meeting duly called and held, prior to the execution of this Agreement, at which all directors of the Company were present and voting in favor, the Company Board duly adopted resolutions (i) declaring that this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, (ii) approving this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) taking all actions necessary so that the restrictions on business combinations and stockholder vote requirements contained in Section 203 of Delaware Law will not apply with respect to or as a result of the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement, the Tender and Support Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (iv) taking all actions necessary to ensure that the stockholder vote requirements contained in paragraph NINTH of the Company’s Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended) will not apply with respect to, or as a result of, the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement, the Tender and Support Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (v) making the Board Recommendation; and such board resolutions have not been rescinded, modified or withdrawn in any way. Each member of the Company Board is a “Disinterested Director” (as such term is defined in the Company’s Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended)).

(c) The Company Board has properly elected to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 251(h) of Delaware Law. No provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (i) requires a vote of the stockholders of the Company to approve the Offer, this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) prohibits the Company and Parent from completing the Merger pursuant to Section 251(h) of Delaware Law. Absent Section 251(h) of Delaware Law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding would be the only vote of the holders of Company Common Stock necessary to adopt this Agreement and approve the other transactions contemplated hereby under Delaware Law, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Immediately prior to the Company’s execution of this Agreement, the shares of Company Common Stock are listed on a national securities exchange or are held of record by more than 2,000 holders.

Section 5.03. Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority, other than (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other jurisdictions in which the Company is qualified to do business, (ii) compliance with any applicable requirements of (A) the HSR Act, (B) any Applicable Law analogous to the HSR Act or otherwise regulating antitrust or merger control matters and in each case existing in foreign jurisdictions

(the “Foreign Competition Laws”) and (C) any Applicable Law regulating foreign investment screening, national security or trade regulation (“Foreign Direct Investment Laws”), (iii) compliance with any applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other applicable U.S. state or federal or foreign securities laws, or Nasdaq, and (iv) any actions or filings the absence of which would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.04. Non-contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, the purchase of the shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer and the consummation by the Company of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both): (i) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (ii) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 5.03, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Applicable Law or Order, (iii) require any consent or approval under, violate, conflict with, result in any breach of or any loss of any benefit under, or constitute a change of control or default under, or result in termination or give to others any right of termination, vesting, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any Contract or Government Bid to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party, or by which they or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound or affected or any Governmental Authorization affecting, or relating in any way to, the property, assets or business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, with such exceptions, in the case of each of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, provided that in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect would result, any adverse effect otherwise excluded by clause (A) of the definition of Company Material Adverse Effect shall be taken into account.

Section 5.05. Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Preferred Stock”). The rights and preferences of the Company Common Stock and the Company Preferred Stock are as set forth in the Company’s certificate of incorporation.

(b) Section 5.05(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth, as of the close of business on December 16, 2021, a complete and correct list of all outstanding Company Compensatory Awards under the Company Stock Plans, including with respect to each such award, (i) the number of shares initially subject to such award, (ii) the name of the holder, (iii) the grant date, (iv) as to Company Stock Options, whether the award was intended as of its date of grant to be an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code or a non-qualified stock option, (v) the exercise or purchase price per share, (vi) the vesting schedule and vesting conditions (including the extent to which it will become accelerated as a result of the Offer or the Merger) and vested status of each such award, (vii) if applicable, the expiration date of each such award, and (viii) whether such award is subject to Section 409A of the Code. The Company Stock Plans set forth in Section 5.05(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule are the only plans or programs the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has maintained under which stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights or other compensatory equity-based awards have been or may be granted. Each form of award agreement and each agreement that deviates from the forms is set forth in Section 5.05(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. With respect to the Company Compensatory Awards, (i) each grant was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant of such award was by its terms to be effective (the “Grant Date”) by all necessary corporate action and (ii) each such grant was made in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Plan under which it was granted and all Applicable Laws.

(c) Except as set forth in this Section 5.05 and for changes since December 16, 2021 resulting from the exercise or settlement of Company Compensatory Awards outstanding on such date, there are no outstanding (i) shares of capital stock or voting securities or other Equity Interests of the Company, (ii) securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or voting securities or other Equity Interests of the Company, (iii) options, warrants or other rights or arrangements to acquire from the Company, or other obligations or commitments of the Company to issue, any capital stock or other voting securities, ownership interests or Equity Interests in, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock or other voting securities, ownership interests or Equity Interests in, the Company, or (iv) restricted shares, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, contingent value rights, “phantom” stock or similar securities or rights that are derivative of, or provide economic benefits based, directly or indirectly, on the value or price of, any capital stock of, or other voting securities, ownership interests or Equity Interests in, the Company (the items in clauses (i)-(iv) being referred to collectively as the “Company Securities”), (v) voting trusts, proxies or other similar agreements or understandings to which Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or, to the Knowledge of the Company, by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound with respect to the voting of any shares of capital stock of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (vi) contractual obligations or commitments of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any character restricting the transfer of, or requiring the registration for sale of, any shares of capital stock of Company or any of its Subsidiaries. There are no outstanding obligations or commitments of any character of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company Securities. All Company Compensatory Awards may, by their terms, be treated in accordance with Section 3.06. No Subsidiary of the Company owns any Company Securities.

(d) As of the date of this Agreement, there are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of the Company having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of Company Common Stock may vote.

(b) Each Subsidiary of the Company is a corporation or other business entity duly incorporated or organized (as applicable), validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all corporate or other organizational powers required to carry on its business as now conducted. Each such Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Section 5.06(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth, for each Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable: (i) its authorized capital stock, voting securities or ownership interests; (ii) the number and type of any capital stock, voting securities or ownership interests, and any option, warrant, right or security (including debt securities) convertible, exchangeable or exercisable therefor, outstanding; and (iii) the record owner(s) thereof.

There are no outstanding (x) securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or other voting securities or ownership interests in any Subsidiary of the Company, (y) options, warrants or other rights or arrangements to acquire from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or other obligations or commitments of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, any capital stock or other voting securities or ownership interests in, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any capital stock or other voting securities or ownership interests in, any Subsidiary of the Company, or (z) restricted shares, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, contingent value rights, “phantom” stock or similar securities or rights that are derivative of, or provide economic benefits based, directly or indirectly, on the value or price of, any capital stock of, or other voting securities or ownership interests in, any Subsidiary of the Company (the items set forth in Section 5.06(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule being referred to collectively as the “Company Subsidiary Securities”).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 7.02(a) or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board, directly or indirectly through any Representative, may (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party that has made (and not withdrawn) a bona fide unsolicited Acquisition Proposal in writing after the date of this Agreement, that did not result from or arise out of a breach of Section 7.02(a), and that the Company Board believes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, and (ii) thereafter furnish to such Third Party and its Representatives (including, for these purposes, sources of financing) non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries

pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and containing additional provisions that expressly permit the Company to comply with the terms of this Section 7.02 (a copy of which confidentiality agreement shall be promptly and in any event with 24 hours provided for informational purposes only to Parent), but in each case under the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Company Board, that the failure to take such action would be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under Applicable Law.

(c) The Company Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii) of Section 7.02(b) unless the Company shall have notified Parent in writing at least three (3) Business Days before taking such action that it intends to take such action (it being understood that (i) the Company shall only be required to provide the notice required by this sentence to Parent on one occasion with respect to any particular Third Party and (ii) this parenthetical shall have no impact on the notification and other obligations of the Company contained in the remainder of this Section 7.02(c)). The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after it obtains knowledge of the receipt by the Company (or any of its Specified Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party, in each case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal. In such notice, the Company shall identify the Third Party making, and the material terms and conditions or a copy of, such Acquisition Proposal submitted by such Third Party. Commencing upon the provision of any notice referred to above, the Company shall (A) on a reasonable and prompt basis, advise Parent (or its counsel) of any changes to the material terms and any material amendments or proposed amendments to price or other material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, (B) keep Parent informed on a reasonably current basis, of any material developments related to the terms, conditions or negotiations associated with such Acquisition Proposal, and (C) within 24 hours of receipt or delivery thereof, provide Parent (or its outside counsel) with copies of all material documents and material written or electronic communications embodying, describing or amending any such Acquisition Proposal (including the financing thereof). The Company shall promptly provide Parent with any non-public information concerning the business, present or future performance, financial condition or results of operations of the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries), provided to any Third Party that was not previously provided to Parent.

(d) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) fail to make, withdraw, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, the Board Recommendation, (ii) approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal, (iii) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer (other than the Offer or any other tender offer or exchange offer by Parent or Merger Subsidiary) for the Company Common Stock within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such offer, (iv) make any public statement inconsistent with the Board Recommendation, (v) resolve or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the foregoing, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (vi) resolve or agree to change or modify the election that this Agreement and the Merger be governed pursuant to Section 251(h) of Delaware Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board, following receipt of and on account of a Superior Proposal that did not result from or arise out of a breach of Section 7.02(a), may (i) make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal in accordance with the terms of Section 9.01(d)(i) but only if, in either case, the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Company Board that the failure to take such action would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under

Applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01(d)(i), unless (A) the Company promptly notifies Parent (the “Adverse Recommendation Change Notice”), in writing at least five (5) Business Days before making an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement (the “Notice Period”), of its intention to take such action or actions with respect to a Superior Proposal, it being understood that none of (1) the determination in itself by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, (2) the delivery in itself by the Company to Parent of the notifications required by Section 7.02(c) or of an Adverse Recommendation Change Notice, or (3) the public disclosure of the matters described in clause (1) or (2), will constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change (in the case of each of clauses (1), (2) and (3), to the extent in accordance with this Agreement); (B) the Company attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement or a reasonably detailed summary of all material terms of any such Superior Proposal (which version or summary shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the Third Party making the Superior Proposal; and (C) the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, if requested by Parent, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being understood and agreed (x) that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including, any revision in price, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remains in the Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision and (y) that there may be multiple extensions of the Notice Period).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company Board may, in response to a material fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances (other than an Acquisition Proposal occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement) that was not known to the Company Board nor reasonably foreseeable by the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement (and not relating in any way to any Acquisition Proposal) (such material fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Subsidiary, or fail to make, the Board Recommendation (which shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change) if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Company Board, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of the Company Board to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided that no fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances shall constitute an Intervening Event if such fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances resulted from or arose out of the announcement, pendency or consummation of the Offer or the Merger; and provided, further, that the Company Board shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 7.02(e) unless the Company Board has (A) provided to Parent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the facts underlying the Company Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred, and the reasons for the Adverse Recommendation Change, in reasonable detail, it being understood that neither (1) the delivery in itself by the Company to Parent of such notice, nor (2) the public disclosure of the matters described in clause (1), will constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change (in the case of each of clauses (1) and (2), to the extent in accordance with this Agreement); and (B) during such five (5) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for an Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of the Intervening Event.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 7.02 shall prevent the Company Board from complying (i) with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or (ii) any Antitrust Laws with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided that any such disclosure under clause (i) (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Board Recommendation (i) in such communication or (ii) within two (2) Business Days after requested to do so by Parent.

Section 7.03. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Effective Time, the Company shall (i) give to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties, books, records, Contracts, Governmental Authorizations, documents, directors, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries during normal business hours, (ii) furnish to Parent and its Representatives such financial, Tax and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request (including using reasonable best efforts to provide the work papers of KPMG LLP upon receipt of any required consent from KPMG LLP), and (iii) instruct its Representatives to cooperate with Parent and its Representatives in its investigation; provided, however, that the Company may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that (A) any Applicable Law or applicable COVID-19 Measure requires the Company to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information (it being understood, however, that the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to provide such access in a manner that does not violate such COVID-19 Measure or such Applicable Law), (B) such disclosure would, based on the advice of such party’s counsel, result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege applicable to such information or (C) the disclosure of such information would violate confidentiality obligations owed to a third party and such confidentiality obligations were in effect prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (it being understood, however, that, with respect to clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to develop an alternative method for providing such information to Parent). Any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company.

Section 7.04. Notice of Certain Events.

(a) In connection with the continuing operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, subject to Applicable Law, the Executive Officers of the Company, including but not limited to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, shall consult in good faith at the request of Parent on material (individually or in the aggregate) operational developments, the status of relationships with customers, resellers, partners, suppliers, licensors, licensees, distributors and others having material business relationships with the Company, the status of ongoing operations and other matters reasonably requested by Parent pursuant to procedures reasonably requested by Parent; provided that no such consultation shall modify the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

(b) Other than as to matters subject to Section 7.09, subject to Applicable Law, the Company shall promptly notify Parent and Parent shall promptly notify the Company (solely with respect to the matters set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii)), in the case of the Company, upon any Specified Representative (other than any financial advisor or outside legal counsel), or, in the case of Parent, upon any executive officer, becoming aware of:

(i) any written notice or other written communication or, to the Knowledge of the Company or to the knowledge of Parent or Ultimate Parent, as the case may be, any other notice or communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii) any written notice or other written communication from any Governmental Authority to the extent related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) any Proceeding commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company or to the knowledge of the Parent (or Ultimate Parent), as the case may be, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Affiliates that relate to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iv) any written notice or other written communication (or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other notice or communication) from any Major Customer or Major Supplier that such Major Customer or Major Supplier is terminating its relationship with Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(v) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or breach of covenant contained in this Agreement at any time during the term hereof that would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions set forth in Exhibit B not to be satisfied.

(c) Only a breach by the Company of this Section 7.04 which is willful and material shall be deemed to be a breach of the covenants for purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in clause (c)(i) of Exhibit B, have been satisfied.

Section 7.05. 401(k) Plans. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, unless otherwise directed in writing by Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company and each Subsidiary thereof shall take all actions necessary to effect the termination of any and all Company Employee Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, and effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, no Company employee shall have any right thereafter to contribute any amounts to any Company Employee Plan intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code. The Company shall provide Parent with evidence that each such Company Employee Plan has been terminated pursuant to an action by the Company Board or the board of directors of a Subsidiary, as applicable. Effective no later than the commencement of the participation of Continuing Employees in the United States in benefit programs of Ultimate Parent and its ERISA Affiliates, Ultimate Parent or one of Ultimate Parent’s ERISA Affiliates shall maintain or cause to be maintained, for the benefit of the Continuing Employees in the United States, a defined contribution plan that (i) meets the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code, and (ii) includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (any such plan being referred to as the “Parent Defined Contribution Plan”). Ultimate Parent (or its ERISA Affiliate, as applicable) will provide for the Parent Defined Contribution Plan to accept, as soon as administratively practicable following such commencement, on or after Closing, the rollover by each Continuing Employee of any “eligible rollover distribution” (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from the 401(k) plan(s) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that is directed by the Continuing Employee into the Parent Defined Contribution Plan, including plan loans, in accordance with applicable Code provisions.

Section 7.06. State Takeover Laws. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Applicable Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Ultimate Parent, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Offer, the Merger, the Tender and Support Agreements or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then each of the Company, Ultimate Parent, Parent, Merger Subsidiary, and their respective Board of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Applicable Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 7.07. Obligations of Merger Subsidiary. Parent shall cause Merger Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.08. Director and Officer Liability.

(a) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such Person covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 7.08(a), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 250% of the amount per annum the Company paid for its officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy (the “Current Premium”) as described and set forth in Section 7.08(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed 250% of the Current Premium, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in the Surviving Corporation’s judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 250% of the Current Premium. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall pay more than 250% of the Current Premium for such prepaid policies without the prior written consent of Parent. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(b) From and after the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will, and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to: (i) each indemnification agreement set forth on Section 7.08(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”); and (ii) any advancement or indemnification provision and any exculpation provision set forth in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that such obligations shall be subject to any limitation imposed by the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement and any limitations imposed from time to time under Applicable Law. If, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Party delivers to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as applicable, a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under any of the provisions set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claim is fully and finally resolved.

(c) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.08.

(d) The obligations under this Section 7.08 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.08 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein).

Section 7.09. Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Ultimate Parent, Parent and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law and otherwise to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the obtaining of all reasonably necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities and the making of all reasonably necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or other Proceeding by, any Governmental Authorities , (ii) the delivery of required notices to, and the obtaining of required consents or waivers from, Third Parties and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 7.09, (i) each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to provide or cause to be provided as promptly as practicable to Governmental Authorities with regulatory jurisdiction over enforcement of any Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Laws information and documents requested by any Governmental Authority or necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing and filing any notification and report form and related material required under the HSR Act within 30 days following the date of this Agreement and any additional consents and filings under any Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Laws as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement and thereafter to respond as promptly as practicable to any request for additional information or documentary material that may be made under the HSR Act and any additional consents and filings under any Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Laws; (ii) each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their reasonable best efforts to provide all information reasonably requested by Parent to identify any filings required by the HSR Act as a result of acquisitions by Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, or the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, following the date hereof related to transactions contemplated by this Agreement and cooperate with Parent to make any such filings under the HSR Act relating to such secondary acquisitions that Parent reasonably determines are required; and (iii) each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary or advisable to obtain prompt approval of consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any Governmental Authority.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with the receipt of any necessary governmental approvals or clearances (including under any Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Laws), nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent or any of its Affiliates to, nor shall the Company or any of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of Parent agree or proffer to, divest, invest, hold separate, or enter into any license or similar agreement with respect to, or agree to restrict the ownership or operation of, or agree to conduct or operate (including to appoint or dismiss board members or managers) in a specified manner, any portion of the business or assets of Parent, the

Company or any of their respective Affiliates. If any judicial or administrative proceeding is brought by any Specified Governmental Authority challenging, or seeking to make illegal, materially delay or otherwise directly or indirectly restrain or prohibit, the Offer or the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or seeking to obtain from Parent or any of its Affiliates any damages in connection therewith (any such proceeding, including any appeal related thereto, a “Regulatory Proceeding”), then Ultimate Parent, Parent and the Company shall contest on the merits, through litigation (including through any appeal), any objections or opposition raised by such Specified Governmental Authority in such Regulatory Proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall direct the defense of any Proceeding against Ultimate Parent, Parent, and/or the Company relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in good faith consultation with the Company and the Company shall act at the direction of Parent. The Company will obtain the prior written consent of Parent prior to settling or satisfying any such Proceeding. Parent shall not have the right to direct the defense of any Proceeding against any of the Company’s directors; provided that the Company may not compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding such Proceeding related to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed).

(d) Subject to Applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, the Company and Parent and their respective counsel shall (i) have the right to review in advance and provide comments (which shall be considered in good faith), and to the extent practicable each shall consult the other in good faith on, any filing made with, or written materials to be submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) promptly inform each other of any substantive communication (or other correspondence or memoranda) received from, or given to, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or any other Governmental Authority with regulatory jurisdiction over enforcement of any Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Law and (iii) promptly furnish each other with copies of all substantive correspondence, filings and written communications between them or their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or its respective staff, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall, to the extent practicable, provide the other party and its counsel with advance notice of and the opportunity to participate in any discussion, telephone call or meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to participate in the preparation for such discussion, telephone call or meeting. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to commit to or agree with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, applicable Foreign Competition Laws or applicable Foreign Direct Investment Laws and shall exercise that discretion consistent with a good faith obligation to seek prompt regulatory approval for the Offer and the Merger, and the Company shall act at the direction of Parent with respect thereto (it being understood that Parent will consult with the Company in good faith prior to making any such commitment or agreement). The Company and Parent may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 7.09(d) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material,” which will limit access to such material to the other party’s outside or internal antitrust counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.09(d), materials provided to the other party or its counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, due to attorney-client privilege, or to comply with Contracts. Subject to Parent’s obligations under Section 7.09(c), Parent shall, on behalf of itself, Ultimate Parent and the Company, be entitled to direct, control and lead all communications, discussions, negotiations and strategy under this Section 7.09, and the Company shall act at the direction of Parent.

(e) Each of Ultimate Parent, Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company agrees that, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, none of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the Company shall, and each of them shall ensure that none of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall,

acquire, or publicly announce a definitive agreement to acquire, any Person or other business or division thereof (whether by merger, consolidation or other business combination, purchase of assets, purchase of shares or similar transaction) if taking such action would reasonably be expected (at the time such action is taken) to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Offer and the Merger.

Section 7.10. Certain Filings. The Company and Parent shall cooperate with one another (i) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any Material Contracts, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) along with Ultimate Parent, in taking such reasonable actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith or with the Offer Documents and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.

Section 7.11. Public Announcements. Ultimate Parent and Parent on the one hand, and the Company on the other hand, shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any other public statement, or scheduling a press conference or conference call with investors or analysts, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such other public statement without the consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (except (i) as such release, public statement or announcement may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association upon which the securities of the Company or Parent, as applicable, are listed, or (ii) as such release, public statement or announcement may be made with respect to an Adverse Recommendation Change effected in accordance with Section 7.02), in which case the party required to make the release or announcement pursuant to clause (i) shall consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time (taking into account the circumstances) to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, and the party will consider such comments in good faith, provided, further, that the obligations set forth in this Section 7.11 shall not apply to any communications regarding an Acquisition Proposal or Adverse Recommendation Change.

Section 7.12. Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Offer and the Merger.

Section 7.13. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may approve, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and in accordance with the Interpretative Letter dated January 12, 1999 issued by the SEC relating to Rule 16b-3, any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities with respect to equity securities of the Company) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each officer or director of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to equity securities of the Company.

Section 7.14. Rule 14d-10 Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company (acting through the Company Board and its compensation committee) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 14d-10(d) promulgated under the Exchange Act any employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement entered into on or after the date hereof by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates with current or future directors, officers or employees of the Company and its Affiliates and to ensure that any such arrangements fall within the safe harbor provisions of such Rule.

Section 7.15. Delisting. The Company shall cooperate with Parent and use 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 under Applicable Law, including the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, to enable the de-listing by the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 7.16. Confidentiality. Parent and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree to continue to be bound by the Confidential Disclosure Agreement for Strategic Matters dated as of October 15, 2021, by and between Ultimate Parent and the Company, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Confidential Disclosure Agreement for Strategic Matters dated as of December 4, 2021 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), including with respect to any information provided pursuant to Sections 7.03 or 7.04.

Section 7.17. Employee Matters.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, with respect to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time who continue employment with the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”), Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cause the service of each such Continuing Employee with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date to be recognized for purposes of eligibility to participate, levels of benefits (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) and vesting under each compensation, vacation, fringe or other welfare benefit plan, program or arrangement of Parent, Ultimate Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates as if such service were with Parent, Ultimate Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to the same extent for participants generally under the applicable plan of Parent, Ultimate Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, but not including any sabbatical or equity compensation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements (collectively, the “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, but solely to the extent service was credited to such employee for such purposes under a comparable Company Employee Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date and to the extent such credit would not result in a duplication of benefits.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, with respect to each Parent Benefit Plan that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cause each such Parent Benefit Plan to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable under such Parent Benefit Plan for such Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding Company Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee was a participant immediately prior to such Continuing Employee’s commencement of participation in such Parent Benefit Plan but, with respect to long-term disability and life insurance benefits and coverage, solely to the extent permitted under the terms and conditions of Parent’s applicable insurance Contracts in effect as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that for purposes of clarity, to the extent such benefit coverage includes eligibility conditions based on periods of employment, Section 7.17(a) shall control; and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the calendar year that, and

prior to the date that, such Continuing Employee commences participation in such Parent Benefit Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment or deductible requirements under such Parent Benefit Plan for the same calendar year, to the extent that such expenses were recognized for such purposes under the comparable Company Employee Plan.

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 7.17 are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and shall not create any right in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any Company Employee Plan or any beneficiary thereof, of any right to continued employment with Parent, Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 7.17 shall be deemed to amend any Company Employee Plan or Parent Benefit Plan or to require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to continue or amend any particular benefit plan before or after the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and Applicable Law.

Section 7.18. Financing Matters.

(a) Within the time periods required by the terms of each Shelf Agreement, the Company shall take all actions required by each Shelf Agreement to be performed by the Company prior to the Effective Time as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the giving of any notices that may be required prior to the Effective Time and the delivery of any certificates, opinions, documents, instruments or prepayment offers required to be delivered prior to the Effective Time in connection with such transactions or otherwise required pursuant to the terms of such Shelf Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) no later than five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall provide notice of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to each holder of a Senior Note in accordance with Section 8.3(a) of each Shelf Agreement; and (b) at a time selected by Parent (but in no case later than sixteen (16) Business Days prior to the anticipated Acceptance Time) (the receipt of such request from Parent being referred to as the “Shelf Notice”), the Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the anticipated Acceptance Time (the sixteen (16) Business Day period beginning upon the Company’s receipt of the Shelf Notice, the “Shelf Notice Period”)) provide the offer to prepay the Senior Notes contemplated by Section 8.3 of each Shelf Agreement, along with the officer’s certificate required by Section 8.3(g) of each Shelf Agreement, to each holder of a Senior Note in accordance with the terms of each Shelf Agreement. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any written notice to, communication with, or document or instrument delivered to, holders of Senior Notes under any Shelf Agreement prior to the delivery or making thereof, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comment made by Parent or its counsel.

(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent, no later than two Business Days prior to the Acceptance Time, a payoff letter in customary form and substance with respect to: (a) the satisfaction and release of all of the Company and its Subsidiaries’ liabilities and obligations (including all indebtedness for borrowed money, if any, of the Company and its Subsidiaries outstanding as of the Acceptance Time) under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2015, as amended supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, by and among the Company, as the borrower, U.S. National Bank Association, as administrative agent, and the banks and other parties from time to time thereto (the “Company Credit Agreement”) and the other Credit Documents (as defined in the Company Credit Agreement) and the backstop, termination and/or cash collateralization of all letters of credit issued thereunder; (b) termination of the Company Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (as defined in the Company Credit Agreement) and (c) the release of all Liens, if any, granted under or pursuant to, or otherwise relating to, the Company Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (as defined in the Company Credit Agreement).

(v) in the event of a material breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement such that the condition set forth in clause (c) of Exhibit B would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or in the event that any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have been inaccurate when made or shall have become inaccurate, such that the condition set forth in clause (b) of Exhibit B would not

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01 (other than pursuant to Section 9.01(a)) shall give notice of such termination to each other party hereto.

Section 9.02. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or other Representative of such party) to each other party hereto; provided that no such termination shall relieve any party hereto of any liability for damages resulting from any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.02 and Sections 10.04, 10.05(b), 10.06, 10.07 and 10.08 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 9.01.

Section 10.02. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained herein and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the Effective Time.

Section 10.03. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 10.04. Termination Fee and Expenses.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall pay all filing fees payable pursuant to the HSR Act, any Foreign Competition Law or any Foreign Direct Investment Law, but if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 (other than pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(ii)), the Company shall promptly reimburse Parent for one-half of all such filing fees paid by Parent.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated: (i) pursuant to Section 9.01(c)(i), Section 9.01(c)(ii), Section 9.01(c)(iii) or Section 9.01(c)(iv) (or if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any other provision of Section 9.01 and at the time of such termination, Parent has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any of Section 9.01(c)(i), Section 9.01(c)(ii) Section 9.01(c)(iii) or Section 9.01(c)(iv)), then the Company shall pay to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), within two (2) Business Days after such termination, a fee in an amount equal to $950,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”); or (ii) pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(i), then the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), concurrently with and as a condition of such termination, the Termination Fee.

(c) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(i) or Section 9.01(b)(iii), (ii) such termination is primarily attributable to (A) the willful and material failure on the part of the Company to perform any covenant or obligation in this Agreement required to be performed by the Company at or prior to the Acceptance Time or (B) the existence of (or any actions taken by) the Person who has made the Acquisition Proposal contemplated by clause (iii) of this sentence (or any of its Affiliates), (iii) prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced and not publicly withdrawn, and (iv) within twelve (12) months following the date of such termination the Company shall have (A) entered into a definitive agreement with respect to, (B) recommended to its stockholders or (C) consummated, a transaction contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal (with all references to 15% in the definition of Acquisition Proposal being treated as 50% for purposes of this clause (iv)), then the Company shall pay to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), within two (2) Business Days after entering into such definitive agreement, making such recommendation or consummating such transaction, the Termination Fee.

(d) The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, Parent and Merger Subsidiary would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay any amount due to Parent pursuant to this Section 10.04, when due, the Company shall pay the costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) in connection with any action taken to collect payment (including the prosecution of any lawsuit or other legal action), together with interest on the unpaid amount at the publicly announced prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in New York City from the date such amount was first payable to the date it is paid.

(e) Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Termination Fee contemplated by this Section 10.04 shall be payable by the Company on only one occasion, whether or not the facts or circumstances giving rise to the Company’s obligation to pay the Termination Fee may otherwise trigger an obligation to pay the Termination Fee under more than one subsection of this Section 10.04 or on more than one occasion pursuant to the same subsection of this Section 10.04 (it being understood, however, that this Section 10.04(d) shall not be interpreted to limit or restrict Parent’s ability to seek or obtain any other remedy it may have with respect to this Agreement).

Section 10.05. Binding Effect; No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and, except as provided in Section 7.08 (which shall be to the benefit of the parties referred to in such section), shall inure only to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 7.08, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to create any third party beneficiaries.

(b) No party hereto may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the consent of each other party hereto, except that Parent or Merger Subsidiary may, from time to time, transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of their Affiliates or Affiliates of Ultimate Parent at any time without the consent of the Company; provided that (i) in event of such transfer or assignment, Parent or Merger Subsidiary, as applicable, shall guarantee the performance of such obligations of such Affiliates hereunder, and remain as primary obligors hereunder and under the Offer (ii) no such transfer or assignment shall relieve Ultimate Parent of its obligations under Section 10.15 or delay or impair timely completion of the Merger or the Offer or payment in connection thereof. Any assignment, delegation or transfer in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.

Section 10.06. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules or any borrowing statute of such State.

Section 10.07. Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if the Court of Chancery lacks jurisdiction, any court in the State of Delaware). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court in respect of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any such Proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each party hereto agrees that notice or the service of process in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be properly served or delivered if delivered in the manner contemplated by Section 10.01 or in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 10.08. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 10.09. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by each other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in PDF form, or by any other electronic means designed to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will be deemed to have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signatures.

Section 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to their subject matter.

Section 10.11. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the parties hereto agree to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner, in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 10.12. Specific Performance. Each party agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and that there is not an adequate remedy at Law for breach of this Agreement, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Ultimate Parent, Parent or Merger Subsidiary, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, of any covenant or obligation of such party contained in this Agreement, the other party shall be entitled to seek, in addition to any monetary remedy or damages: (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation; and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then in any court located in the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (i) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Section 10.13. Disclosure Schedules. Any reference in a particular section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) any other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) would be reasonably apparent from such item.

Section 10.14. Rules of Construction. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its choice throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement, and that it has executed the same with the advice of said independent counsel. Each party and its counsel cooperated and participated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto exchanged among the parties shall be deemed the work product of all of the parties and may not be construed against any party by reason of its drafting or preparation. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against any party that drafted or prepared it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived by each of the parties hereto, and any controversy over interpretations of this Agreement shall be decided without regards to events of drafting or preparation.

Section 10.15. Compliance with Obligations. Ultimate Parent hereby agrees to cause Parent to honor Parent’s obligations and Merger Subsidiary to honor Merger Subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement, including providing (or causing to be provided) to Parent and/or Merger Subsidiary all funds on a timely basis necessary to purchase any Company Common Shares that Parent and/or Merger Subsidiary becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer.

Section 6.02. Further Assurances. Parent and Stockholder (in its capacity as such) will each execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments as the other may reasonably request and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary and all things the other party may reasonably deem proper or advisable under Applicable Law, to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in PDF form, or by any other electronic means designed to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will be deemed to have the same effect

as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signatures. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto and the Merger Agreement has become effective. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto and the Merger Agreement has become effective, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 6.08. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the parties hereto agree to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 6.09. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage to Parent or Merger Subsidiary would occur, damages would be incalculable and would be an insufficient remedy and no other adequate remedy would exist at law or in equity, in each case in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed by Stockholder in accordance with the terms hereof, and that each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically Stockholder’s performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which Parent or Merger Subsidiary may be entitled at law or in equity. Stockholder hereby waives any defenses based on the adequacy of any other remedy, whether at law or in equity, that might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance of any of the terms or provisions hereof or injunctive relief in any action brought therefor by Parent or Merger Subsidiary.

Section 6.10. Defined Terms. For the purposes of this Agreement:

(i) Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Any notices or other communications required or permitted under, or otherwise given in connection with, this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered or sent if delivered in person, (ii) on the fifth Business Day after dispatch by registered or certified mail, (iii) on the next Business Day if transmitted by national overnight courier or (iv) on the date delivered if sent by email (provided confirmation of email receipt is obtained), in each case, as follows:

ARTICLE I

The name of this Corporation is Cerner Corporation. (the “Corporation”).

ARTICLE II

The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle. The name of its registered agent at such address is Corporation Service Company.

ARTICLE III

The purpose of this Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the “Delaware General Corporation Law”).

ARTICLE IV

The aggregate number of shares which this Corporation shall have authority to issue is 100 shares of capital stock all of which shall be designated “Common Stock,” each having a par value of $0.0001. Except as may otherwise be required by law, each holder of Common Stock shall have one vote in respect of each share of Common Stock held by him on all matters voted upon by the stockholders.

ARTICLE V

A. The property, business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and controlled by the board of directors. The number of directors of the corporation shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the bylaws.

B. A majority of the whole board of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and, except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws, the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is then present shall be the act of the board of directors. As used in this Certificate of Incorporation, the term “whole board of directors” is hereby exclusively defined to mean the total number of directors which the corporation would have if there were no vacancies.

C. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors, each person elected as a director of the Corporation at any annual meeting of stockholders (each annual meeting of stockholders, an “Annual Meeting”) after the 2020 Annual Meeting to succeed a person whose term of office as a director has expired, shall be elected for a term expiring at the next Annual Meeting. Each director elected at or prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to serve as a member of the class of directors to which he or she was so elected for the term elected. At and after the 2023 Annual Meeting, the directors shall no longer be classified with respect to the time for which they hold office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director shall hold office until a successor has been elected or qualified or until his or her earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal.

D. Except for directorships created pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of holders of preferred stock or any series thereof, and except for vacancies in such directorships, any vacancies in the board of directors for any reason, and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the board of directors, acting by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and from and after the 2023 Annual Meeting any directors so chosen shall hold office until the next election of directors and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting: (i) each director then serving shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a member until the expiration of his or her term or his or her prior death, retirement, resignation or removal; and (ii) except to the extent that an increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors occurs in connection with the rights of holders of preferred stock to elect additional directors, the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the board of directors among the class or classes as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the whole board of directors permits. A director who fills a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor.

E. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation (and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation), prior to the election of directors at the 2023 Annual Meeting when the board of directors shall cease to be classified, any director or the entire board of directors of the corporation may be removed at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent (80%) or more of the Total Voting Power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, considered for this purpose as one class (for purposes of this Article V, section (E), each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes granted to it pursuant to Article IV of this Certificate of Incorporation). From and after the election of directors at the 2023 Annual Meeting when the board of directors shall cease to be classified, any director or the entire board of directors of the corporation may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. For the purposes of this Article V, section (E): (i) the term “Total Voting Power” shall mean the aggregate of all votes of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock; and (ii) the term “Voting Stock” shall mean the shares of all classes of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote on removal of any director or the entire board of directors in the manner provided in this Article V, section (E) (except that if the next succeeding sentence is operative, then the outstanding shares of preferred stock shall not be considered “Voting Stock” for purposes of this Article V, section (E)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of preferred stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the corporation, the provisions of this Article V shall not apply with respect to the director or directors elected by such holders of preferred stock.

F. [Omitted]

G. There shall be no qualifications for election as directors of the corporation, except that no person shall be eligible to stand for election as a director if he has been convicted of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction where such conviction is no longer subject to direct appeal.

H. Subject to the rights of holders of preferred stock, nominations for the election of directors may be made by the board of directors or a proxy committee appointed by the board of directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally. However, any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting only if written notice of such stockholder’s intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given in accordance with the advance notice and proxy access procedures set forth in the Corporation’s bylaws, as amended from time to time. The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with such procedures.

I. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Article V, the term of office and voting power of each director of the corporation shall not be greater than nor less than that of any other director of the corporation.

ARTICLE VI

A. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

B. Any repeal or modification of this Article VI shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Article VI in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act giving rise to liability.

ARTICLE VII

The original bylaws of the corporation shall be adopted in any manner provided by law. In furtherance, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by statute, the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, adopt, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the corporation. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation, and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law, the stockholders of the corporation shall have the power to make, adopt, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the corporation only upon the affirmative vote of eighty percent (80%) or more of the Total Voting Power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, considered for this purpose as one class (for purposes of this Article VII, each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes granted to it pursuant to Article IV of this Certificate of Incorporation). For purposes of this Article VII: (i) the term “Total Voting Power” shall mean the aggregate of all votes of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock; and (ii) the term “Voting Stock” shall mean the shares of all classes of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote on making, adopting, altering, amending or repealing the bylaws of the corporation.

ARTICLE VIII

A. The provisions of this Article VIII shall be applicable to certain Business Combinations (as hereinafter defined) and shall supersede any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the corporation or of law inconsistent therewith.

B. In addition to any affirmative vote required by law or this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, any requirement that Business Combinations be approved by the holders of a specified percentage of preferred stock voting separately as a class) and except as otherwise expressly provided in section (C) of this Article VIII, any Business Combination shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) or more of the Total Voting Power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock considered for this purpose as one class (for purposes of this Article VIII, each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes granted to it pursuant to Article IV of this Certificate of Incorporation). Such affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be required by law, or that a lesser percentage may be specified by law or in any agreement with any national securities exchange or otherwise.

C. The provisions of section (B) of this Article VIII shall not be applicable to any particular Business Combination, and such Business Combination shall require only such affirmative vote as is required by law and any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, if the Business Combination shall have been approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined).

D. For the purposes of this Article VIII and for the purposes of such other paragraphs of this Certificate of Incorporation as is specified:

A “Business Combination” shall mean:

(i) any merger or consolidation of the corporation or any Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) with (a) any Interested Stockholder (as hereinafter defined) or (b) any other corporation (whether or not itself an Interested Stockholder) which is, or after such merger or consolidation would be, an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of an Interested Stockholder; or

(ii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions) to or with any Interested Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Interested Stockholder of any assets of the corporation or any Subsidiary having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of $500,000 or more; or

A “person” shall mean any individual, firm, corporation or other entity.

“Interested Stockholder” shall mean any person (other than the corporation or any Subsidiary) who or which, as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote on the issue in question, or immediately prior to the effectiveness of the action to be effected as a result of the vote:

(iii) is an assignee of or has otherwise succeeded to any shares of Voting Stock which were at any time within the two year period immediately prior to either the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote on the issue in question or the effectiveness of the action to be effected as a result of the vote, beneficially owned by any Interested Stockholder, if such assignment or succession shall have occurred in the course of a transaction or series of transactions not involving a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933.
