At the Effective Time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the certificate of merger in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Certificate of Merger”), which shall include the form of certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation.

1.3. Closing.

The Closing shall take place by remote communication and by the exchange of executed documents by electronic transmission. The date on which the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.”

1.4. Effective Time. At the Closing, after the satisfaction or waiver in writing of each of the conditions set forth in Article VI, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause the Certificate of Merger to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law (the time of acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of such filing, or such later time as may be agreed by Parent and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

1.5. Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company shall become debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6. Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(b) At the Effective Time, the parties hereto shall cause the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to be amended and restated in their entirety to read as set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto, until thereafter amended as provided by Delaware Law, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws (subject to Section 5.14(a)).

1.7. Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) The parties hereto shall take all necessary action prior to the Closing so that, effective as of the Effective Time, the members of the board of directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be appointed as the sole members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) The parties hereto shall take all necessary action prior to the Closing so that, effective as of the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be appointed as the sole officers of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.8. Effect on Company Capital Stock, Unvested Company Shares, Company Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Capital Stock:

(i) Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares cancelled pursuant to Section 1.8(c)) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.9, an amount of cash equal to the Per Share Cash Amount, without interest. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall automatically be cancelled and no longer be deemed outstanding, and the holders thereof shall not have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount, without interest, upon surrender of Certificates and/or Uncertificated Shares in accordance with Section 1.9.

(ii) Unvested Company Shares. The cash payment pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(i) in exchange for Unvested Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be subject to the same restrictions, vesting arrangements or Repurchase Rights that were applicable to such Unvested Company Shares immediately prior to or at the Effective Time. Therefore, cash otherwise payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(i) in exchange for Unvested Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Unvested Cash (Shares)”) shall not be payable by Parent at the Effective Time, and shall instead become payable by Parent on the date that such Unvested Company Share would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for such shares immediately prior to or at the Effective Time and shall

otherwise remain subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the underlying Unvested Company Share immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that if the vesting conditions and terms are not satisfied and vesting ceases at any point after the Effective Time, and a portion of the Unvested Cash (Shares) remains unvested (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting provisions applicable thereto), no cash payments shall be made in respect of such unvested portion of the Unvested Cash (Shares), except the repurchase price described below, with respect to such portion of the Unvested Cash (Shares) allocable to Unvested Company Shares. To the extent vested, Parent shall make, or in its discretion shall cause a paying agent authorized by Parent to administer such payments on Parent’s behalf to make, all such required payments to holders of Unvested Cash (Shares) no later than the end of the second completed payroll cycle of Parent following the date on which the corresponding Unvested Cash Shares would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for such awards at the Effective Time and in no event later than two and one-half (2.5) months following the end of the calendar year in which the corresponding Unvested Cash Shares would have become vested (subject to other restrictions and other terms of such vesting schedule and giving effect to the applicable terms with respect to acceleration of vesting under any agreement (or form thereof) set forth on Schedule 2.13(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter). All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.8(a)(ii) shall be treated as payment in respect of the sale of such Unvested Company Shares, subject to any required withholding of Taxes, and shall be paid without interest. All outstanding Repurchase Rights shall be assigned to Parent in the Merger and shall thereafter be exercisable by Parent upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions that were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that Repurchase Rights may be exercised by Parent retaining the Unvested Cash (Shares) into which such Unvested Company Shares have been converted and paying to the former holder thereof the repurchase price in effect for each such share subject to such Repurchase Right immediately prior to the Effective Time. No Unvested Cash (Shares), or right thereto, may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by any Person, other than Parent, or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any Liability of such Person, prior to the distribution to such Person of such Unvested Cash (Shares) in accordance with this Agreement.

(iii) Vested Company Options, Vested Company RSUs and Vested Company PSUs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent will not assume any Vested Company Option, Vested Company RSU or Vested Company PSU. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, each Vested Company Option that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Vested Company RSU that is outstanding and has not yet been settled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each Vested Company PSU that is outstanding and has not yet been settled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall terminate and be converted into and represent the right to receive the applicable Cash-Out Amount from Parent for such Vested Company Option, Vested Company RSU or Vested Company PSU; provided that the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from such Cash-Out Amount the amount of withholding for Taxes required to be deducted and withheld as a result of the Transactions. The Cash-Out Amount payable pursuant to this

Section 1.8(a)(iii) shall be rounded down to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating Cash-Out Amounts for all Vested Company Options, Vested Company RSUs or Vested Company PSUs represented by a particular grant held by such Person. The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay through the payroll of the Surviving Corporation (to the extent applicable) to each holder of a Vested Company Option, Vested Company RSU or Vested Company PSU the applicable Cash-Out Amount, within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Time; provided that to the extent payment within such time or on such date would trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payments shall be made on the earliest date that payment would not trigger such Tax or penalty.

(iv) Unvested Company Options and Unvested Company RSUs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent will not assume the obligation to deliver shares with respect to any Unvested Company Option or any Unvested Company RSU. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, each Unvested Company Option that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each Unvested Company RSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the applicable Cash-Out Amount from Parent for such Unvested Company Option or Unvested Company RSU in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.8(a)(iv) and subject to Section 1.8(a)(vi) (the “Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs)”).

(v) Unvested Company PSUs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent will not assume the obligation to deliver shares with respect to any Unvested Company PSU. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, each Unvested Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the applicable Cash-Out Amount from Parent for such Unvested Company PSU in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.8(a)(v) and subject to Section 1.8(a)(vi) (the “Unvested Cash (PSUs)” and, together with the Unvested Cash (Shares) and the Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs), the “Unvested Cash”).

(vi) Payment of Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) and Unvested Cash (PSUs). The cash payment pursuant to (i) Section 1.8(a)(iv) for Unvested Company Options and Unvested Company RSUs shall remain subject to the same terms, conditions, restrictions and vesting arrangements that were applicable to such Unvested Company Options or Unvested Company RSUs, including those provisions for accelerated vesting on certain terminations of employment and (ii) Section 1.8(a)(v) for Unvested Company PSUs shall remain subject to the same terms, conditions, restrictions and service-based vesting arrangements that were applicable to such Unvested Company PSUs, including those provisions for accelerated vesting on certain terminations of employment, in each case, as in effect from time to time unless otherwise superseded by any applicable Contract between the holder thereof and the Company or Parent or their respective Affiliates, but effective from and after the Effective Time; provided that any performance-based vesting conditions shall no longer apply from and after the Effective Time. Therefore, the Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) and Unvested Cash (PSUs) shall not be payable by Parent

at the Effective Time, and shall instead become payable by Parent on the date that such Unvested Company Option, Unvested Company RSU or Unvested Company PSUs would have become vested in accordance with their terms. To the extent vested, Parent shall make, or in its discretion shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make, all such required payments to holders of Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) and Unvested Cash (PSUs) no later than the end of the second completed payroll cycle following the date on which the corresponding Unvested Company Option, Unvested Company RSU and Unvested Company PSU would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for such awards at the Effective Time and in no event later than two and one-half (2.5) months following the end of the calendar year in which the corresponding Unvested Company Option, Unvested Company RSU or Unvested Company PSU, would have become vested (subject to other restrictions and other terms of such vesting schedule and giving effect to the applicable terms with respect to acceleration of vesting under any agreement (or form thereof) set forth on Schedule 2.13(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter); provided that to the extent payment within such time or on such date would trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payments shall be made on the earliest date that payment would not trigger such Tax or penalty. The Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(iv) and Unvested Cash (PSUs) payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(v) on a given payment date shall be rounded down to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating Cash-Out Amounts for all Unvested Company Options, Unvested Company RSUs and Unvested Company PSUs represented by a particular grant previously held by such Person that would have vested on the relevant vesting date. No Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) or Unvested Cash (PSUs), or right thereto, may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by any Person, other than Parent, or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any Liability of such Person, prior to the distribution to such Person of such Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) and Unvested Cash (PSUs) in accordance with this Agreement.

(vii) Certain Non-U.S. Tax Matters. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to Company Options, Company PSUs, and Company RSUs held by individuals subject to Taxes imposed by the Laws of a country other than the United States, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith prior to the Effective Time to consider alternatives to minimize the Tax impact of the provisions set forth in this Section 1.8(a), to include cooperating in good faith to apply for a revenue ruling or determination from a Governmental Entity on behalf of Parent or the Company, as applicable, to address such Tax impact (it being understood that Parent and Merger Sub need not take, and the Company shall not take, any action which would increase the costs (or accelerate the timing of payment) associated with the treatment set forth in this Section 1.8(a)).

(b) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). The certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub common stock will evidence ownership of the same number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Cancellation of Company Capital Stock Owned by the Company and Parent. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each share of Company Capital Stock owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company or Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof.

(d) Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Capital Stock occurring after the Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time, all references in this Agreement to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties hereto the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.

(e) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if required by Delaware Law (but only to the extent required thereby), any shares of Company Common Stock held by any stockholder of the Company who has (i) neither voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement nor consented thereto in writing and (ii) properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law (the “Dissenting Company Shares”), will not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the merger consideration pursuant to Section 1.8(a) and instead will entitle the holders thereof to such rights as are granted to such holders by Section 262 of Delaware Law. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice and copies of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to the Company’s stockholders’ demands of appraisal and (ii) the right to participate in (but not direct) all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any demand for appraisal under Delaware Law, including any determination to make any payment to a holder of Dissenting Company Shares under Section 262(h) of Delaware Law prior to the entry of judgment in the Legal Proceedings with respect to any demand for appraisal. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing in respect of any Dissenting Shares. If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to seek appraisal rights, the Dissenting Shares, pursuant to Section 262 of Delaware Law, will thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the merger consideration pursuant to Section 1.8(a) upon surrender of the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares that formerly evidenced such share of Company Capital Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.9(c).

1.9. Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Parent’s transfer agent, Computershare Inc. (or such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent and reasonably acceptable to Company), shall act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in the Merger.

(b) Parent to Deposit Cash. At or promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Parent to, deposit with the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(i) and Section 1.8(a)(iii) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes the Unvested Cash) (provided that the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(iii) may instead be paid directly by either Parent through its payroll provider or, if so directed by Parent, by the Surviving Corporation through its payroll provider and to the extent payment would trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payments shall be made on the earliest date that payment would not trigger such Tax or penalty).

(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) following the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (“Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall contain such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use of such letter of transmittal in effecting surrender of Certificates in exchange for the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a). Each holder of record of book-entry shares (“Uncertificated Shares”) shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a). In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Uncertificated Shares may provide an “agent’s message” in customary form with respect to any Uncertificated Share (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, or upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an appropriate agent’s message (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, each holder of such Certificate or such Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check for the cash amount that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.8(a) in respect of the Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificate or such Uncertificated Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any Unvested Cash), and the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the right to receive cash pursuant to Section 1.8(a), except as provided in Section 1.8(e).

(d) No Interest. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a) or otherwise in connection with the Merger.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If any cash amount payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a) is to be paid to a Person other than the Person to which the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the payment thereof that the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall, as applicable, be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of cash in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.9, none of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Legal Requirement.

(g) Unclaimed Cash. Any portion of funds held by the Exchange Agent that has not been delivered to any holders of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Article I within 12 months after the Effective Time shall promptly be paid to Parent, and thereafter each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures set forth in and contemplated by Section 1.9(c) shall look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat and similar laws) for its claim, only as a general unsecured creditor thereof, to the cash payable to such holder pursuant to Section 1.8(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Certificate or Uncertificated Shares have not been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which the merger consideration contemplated by Section 1.8(a) in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any amounts payable in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

1.10. No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. All cash paid or payable following the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with this Agreement shall be so paid or payable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

Each of Parent and Merger Sub has the corporate power to own its properties and to conduct its business as now being conducted and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing, individually or in the aggregate with any such other failures, would not have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is in violation of any of the provisions of its articles or certificate of incorporation, as applicable, or bylaws.

3.2. Authority; Non-contravention.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Parent and Merger Sub (other than the adoption of this Agreement by Parent as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, which shall occur promptly following the execution of this Agreement). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution, and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Parent and Merger Sub, respectively, enforceable against Parent and Merger Sub, respectively, in accordance with its terms, subject only to the effect, if any, of the Enforceability Limitations.

The Company will cause all documents that it is responsible for filing with the SEC or other regulatory authorities in connection with the Merger to (A) comply in all material respects as to form with all applicable SEC requirements and (B) otherwise comply in all material respects with all Applicable Legal Requirements; provided that any failure to comply with the foregoing with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement that is corrected in the definitive Proxy Statement shall not be deemed to be a breach of this covenant. Except with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.3(d)-(e), prior to filing the preliminary proxy materials, definitive proxy materials or any other filing with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions, the Company shall provide Parent with the reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each such filing in advance and the Company shall consider in good faith the incorporation of any changes reasonably proposed by Parent.

(b) The Company will notify Parent promptly of the receipt of any comments (written or oral) from the SEC or its staff (or of notice of the SEC’s intent to review the Proxy Statement) and of any request by the SEC or its staff or any other official of any Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or any other filing relating to the Merger or for additional/supplemental information with respect thereto, and will supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, or its staff or any other official of any Governmental Entity, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or such other filing.

Parent shall promptly inform the Company whenever Parent discovers any event relating to Parent or any of its Affiliates, officers or directors that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or any other filing related to the Merger. The information supplied by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will not, at the time that the Proxy Statement is filed with the SEC, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statement therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided that any failure with respect to the foregoing that is corrected prior to or in the definitive Proxy Statement shall not be deemed to be a breach of the foregoing.

Within five (5) Business Days following the Agreement Date, the Company shall make the inquiry required by Rule 14a-13 under the Exchange Act and as promptly as practicable after the completion thereof the Company shall establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Company’s stockholders (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Agreement Date (but in any event, no later than the date that is forty (40) days after the date that the definitive Proxy Statement is mailed to the Company’s stockholders) for the sole purpose of (x) obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (including any adjournment of such meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement), (y) obtaining advisory approval of the compensation that the Company’s named executive officers may receive in connection with the Merger and (z) such other matters as may be agreed by Parent.

(c) Continuing Obligation. Subject to Section 5.2(a)(ii)(D), until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, if at all, the Company’s obligation to call, give notice or convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting in accordance with this Section 5.2 shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal or by any Change of Recommendation.

5.3. No Solicitation; Acquisition Proposals.

(a) No Solicitation Generally. Subject to Section 5.3(c), Section 5.3(d) and Section 5.3(f), from and after the Agreement Date until the earlier of the Effective Time and termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company Board, the Company and its Subsidiaries will not, and will direct their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Company Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage, support, facilitate or induce the making, submission or public announcement of any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into, participate in, maintain or continue any

communications (except to provide written notice as to the existence of these provisions and to clarify the terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposal) or negotiations regarding, or deliver or make available to any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any designees of Parent or Merger Sub) any non-public information (including providing access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) with respect to any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) agree to, accept, approve, endorse or recommend (or publicly propose or announce any intention or desire to agree to, accept, approve, endorse or recommend) any Acquisition Proposal, (iv) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet or any other agreement, understanding or contract (whether binding or not) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement), (v) submit any Acquisition Proposal to the vote of any securityholders of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (vi) approve any transaction, or any third-party becoming an “interested stockholder,” under Section 203 of Delaware Law or (vii) authorize, resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and direct the Company Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted prior to or on the Agreement Date with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any Person (and such Person’s Representatives) with which the Company has engaged in any such activities within the twelve (12) month period preceding the Agreement Date to promptly return or destroy all confidential information previously provided to such Person (and such Person’s Representatives). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to, waive any rights under any “standstill” or similar covenants in confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into in connection with or applicable to an Acquisition Proposal to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party to allow a Person to make, or amend, an Acquisition Proposal (or make any related communications). If any Company Representative takes any action that the Company is obligated pursuant to this Section 5.3 not to take, then the Company shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have breached this Section 5.3.

(b) Notice. The Company shall advise Parent in writing as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than forty-eight (48) hours) after receipt by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (and/or to the Knowledge of the Company, by any Company Representative) of (i) any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) any other notice that any Person is planning to submit an Acquisition Proposal or (iv) any request for non-public information (including access to any of the properties, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer, notice or request and the identity of the Person or Group submitting any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer, notice or request. The Company shall keep Parent informed as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than forty-eight (48) hours after receipt) of the status of, and any material amendments or modifications or proposed material amendments or modifications to, any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer, notice or request and any material correspondence or communications related thereto, and shall provide to Parent as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt) a true, correct and

complete copy of all written materials and information provided to the Company, one of its Subsidiaries or a Company Representative in connection with any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer, notice or request (including any material amendments or modifications or proposed material amendments or modifications), or a reasonable written summary thereof if such material or information is not written.

(c) Superior Proposals. In the event that any Person or Group submits to the Company (and does not withdraw) a written, bona fide Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of national standing) is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.3(a), the Company may, so long as the Company Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained, (i) enter into discussions with such Person or Group regarding such Acquisition Proposal and (ii) deliver or make available to such Person non-public information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided that, in each such case, the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives shall have complied with each of the following: (A) none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any Company Representative shall have violated any of the provisions of this Section 5.3 in any material respect, (B) the Company Board first shall have concluded in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Legal Requirements, (C) prior to making available to any such Person any material non-public information, the Company first shall have received from such Person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (a copy of which executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement shall be provided to Parent, for informational purposes only, within forty-eight (48) hours of its execution) and (D) prior to or contemporaneously with delivering or making available any such non-public information to such Person, the Company shall have delivered or made available such non-public information to Parent (to the extent such non-public information has not previously been delivered or made available by the Company to Parent).

“Superior Proposal” means, with respect to the Company, a bona fide written offer submitted after the Agreement Date by a Person or Group to acquire, directly or indirectly, (i) pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation or other business combination (including by means of a tender offer followed by a back-end merger) beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or (ii) 50% or more of the assets of the Company, in each case, that the Company Board has concluded in its good faith judgment (following consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of national standing), taking into account, among other things, all legal, financial (including the financing terms thereof), regulatory, timing and other aspects of the offer, including conditions to consummation and the Person making the offer, in each case deemed relevant by the Company Board (x) would be, if consummated, more favorable, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s stockholders (in their capacities as stockholders) than the terms of this Agreement (after giving effect to any adjustments to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such Acquisition Proposal) and (y) is reasonably likely to be consummated on the terms proposed (as determined in the good faith judgment of the Company Board).

(d) Change of Recommendation for Superior Proposal. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company Board from effecting a Change of Recommendation in connection with a Superior Proposal or the Company from terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) to enter into a definitive agreement to accept a Superior Proposal if:

(i) the Company Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained;

(ii) the Company has complied in all material respects with the provisions of Section 5.2 and this Section 5.3;

(iii) such Superior Proposal has been submitted to the Company, has not been withdrawn and continues to be a Superior Proposal;

(iv) the Company has provided to Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) that stated expressly (A) that the Company has received such Superior Proposal, (B) the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person or Group submitting such Superior Proposal and (C) that the Company Board intends to effect a Change of Recommendation (it being understood that the Notice of Superior Proposal shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Change of Recommendation for purposes of this Agreement so long as such notice clearly states that it is not a Change of Recommendation and that the Company Board has not otherwise effected a Change of Recommendation), and has provided Parent with an unredacted copy of such Superior Proposal, together with unredacted copies of all proposed transaction agreements and, subject to any express restrictions imposed by the lenders thereto, any financing commitments relating thereto received by the Company Board (collectively, the “Superior Proposal Materials”), concurrently with the delivery of such Notice of Superior Proposal;

(v) the Company has, during the four (4) Business Day period referred to in Section 5.3(d)(iv), if requested by Parent, made the Company Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith with Parent’s Representatives any modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that Parent desires to propose such that such Superior Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal;

(vi) Parent has not, within four (4) Business Days of Parent’s receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal, made a written, binding and irrevocable (through the expiration of such four (4) Business Day period) offer that the Company Board has concluded in good faith (following consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of national standing) to be at least as favorable to the Company’s stockholders as such Superior Proposal (it being agreed that (A) the Company Board shall convene a meeting to consider any such offer by Parent following the receipt thereof, (B) the Company Board will not effect a Change of Recommendation and the Company will not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) for four (4) Business Days after receipt by Parent of such Notice of Superior Proposal and such Superior Proposal Materials and (C) any change to the financial or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal to Parent and a new three (3) Business Day period and discussion process under this Section 5.3(d) (and all references to four (4) Business Day periods in this Section 5.3(d) shall be deemed three (3) Business Day periods for purposes of this Section 5.3(d)(vi)(C); provided that such new Notice of Superior Proposal shall in no event shorten the original four (4) Business Day period); and

(vii) the Company Board has concluded in good faith (following consultation with its outside legal counsel) that, in light of such Superior Proposal and any modifications proposed by Parent pursuant to Section 5.3(d)(vi), the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) (if applicable) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under Applicable Legal Requirements.

(e) Change of Recommendation for Intervening Event. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company Board from effecting a Change of Recommendation for a reason unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any Change of Recommendation proposed to be made in response to an Acquisition Proposal may only be made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3(d)) if:

(i) the Company Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained;

(ii) the Company has complied in all material respects with the provisions of Section 5.2 and this Section 5.3;

(iii) the Company Board has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that, in light of material facts, events and/or circumstances that have developed since the Agreement Date, were previously unknown by the Company Board and were not reasonably foreseeable as of the Agreement Date by the Company Board (or if known, the consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Company Board as of the Agreement Date) (an “Intervening Event”) and taking into account the results of any discussions with Parent as contemplated by subsection (iv) and any offer from Parent contemplated by subsection (v), the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Legal Requirements; provided that in no event shall any of the following, in and of itself, constitute or be deemed an Intervening Event: (A) any determination by the Company Board that the Per Share Cash Amount payable in the Merger is not sufficient (provided that such exception shall not apply to any underlying cause for such determination), (B) the Company exceeding any earnings projections or predictions made by the Company (whether or not publicly announced) or securities or financial analysts and any resulting analyst upgrades of the Company’s securities or any change in the trading price of the Company Common Stock (provided that such exception shall not apply to any underlying cause for such performance), (C) any facts, events or circumstances resulting from any breach of this Agreement by the Company or (D) the receipt, existence or terms of any Acquisition Proposal or any matter relating thereto or the consequences thereof;

(iv) the Company has provided to Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice that the Company Board intends to effect a Change of Recommendation (“Notice of Intervening Event”) and if requested by Parent, the Company shall have made the Company Representatives available during the four (4) Business Day period to discuss with Parent’s Representatives (A) the facts, events and circumstances underlying such proposed Change of Recommendation and the Company Board’s reason for proposing to effect such Change of Recommendation and (B) any modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that Parent desires to propose that that would obviate the need for the Company Board to effect such Change of Recommendation; and

(v) Parent shall not have, within the aforementioned four (4) Business Day period, made a written, binding and irrevocable (through the expiration of such four (4) Business Day period) offer that the Company Board concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of national standing) would obviate the need for the Company Board to effect such Change of Recommendation (it being agreed that (A) the Company Board shall convene a meeting to consider any such offer by Parent following the receipt thereof, (B) the Company Board will not effect a Change of Recommendation for four (4) Business Days after receipt by Parent of the Notice of Intervening Event and (C) any material change in the facts, events or circumstances related to the Intervening Event shall require a new Notice of Intervening Event to Parent and a new three (3) Business Day period and discussion process under subsection (iv) (and all references to four (4) Business Day periods in this Section 5.3(e) shall be deemed three (3) Business Day periods for purposes of this Section 5.3(e)(v)(C); provided that such new Notice of Intervening Event shall in no event shorten the original four (4) Business Day period).

(f) Compliance with Tender Offer Rules. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders that the Company Board has concluded in good faith (following consultation with its outside legal counsel) that failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Legal Requirements (a “Required Fiduciary Disclosure”); provided that (A) any “stop, look, and listen” communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, and any substantially similar communication that solely constitutes a recitation of the fact that an Acquisition Proposal has been received and a factual description of the terms thereof, and that no position has been taken by the Company Board as to the advisability or desirability of such Acquisition Proposal, shall not be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation if it is also accompanied by a public statement by the Company Board expressly reaffirming the Company Board Recommendation, (B) such Required Fiduciary Disclosure shall not be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation if it relates to an Acquisition Proposal and the text of such Required Fiduciary Disclosure includes a public statement that the Company Board is expressly reaffirming the Company Board Recommendation and (C) the Company Board shall not recommend that the Company’s stockholders tender shares of Company Capital Stock in connection with any tender or exchange offer or otherwise effect a Change of Recommendation unless specifically permitted by, and in accordance with, Section 5.3.

5.4. Access to Information.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, (i) the Company shall afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable notice, during business hours to (A) all of the properties, books, Contracts and records of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and (B) all other information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the results of operations, product development efforts, properties (tangible and intangible, including Intellectual Property Rights) and personnel of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as Parent may reasonably request and (ii) the Company shall maintain the virtual data room established in connection with this Agreement and provide Parent and its Representatives access thereto (and prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent’s outside legal counsel a customary USB containing the contents of such virtual data room); provided that with respect to clause (i), any such access shall be conducted at a reasonable time, under the supervision of appropriate personnel of the Company, and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the business of the Company. Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose any information to Parent (A) to the extent related to an Acquisition Proposal, Change of Recommendation, Notice of Superior Proposal or Notice of Intervening Event (except as otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement) or (B) if such disclosure would (i) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of any third party, (ii) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege (so long as the Company has reasonably cooperated with Parent in an effort to permit such inspection of or to disclose such information on a basis that does not waive such privilege with respect thereto) or (iii) contravene any applicable Legal Requirement, fiduciary duty, Contract or any obligation of the Company with respect to confidentiality or privacy (so long as the Company has reasonably cooperated with Parent in an effort to permit such inspection of or to disclose such information on a basis that does not contravene any such obligations with respect thereto). Subject to Applicable Legal Requirements and this Section 5.4, the Company agrees to, and to cause its Subsidiaries to, reasonably assist and cooperate with Parent to facilitate the post-Closing integration of the Company and its Subsidiaries with Parent and Parent’s Subsidiaries (including, at the request of Parent from time to time, reasonably assisting and cooperating with Parent in the development of a post-Closing integration plan and making available its employees at reasonable intervals). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company may satisfy its obligations set forth above by electronic means if physical access is not reasonably feasible or would not be permitted under applicable Law as a result of COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measures. With respect to the information disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.4, Parent shall comply with, and shall instruct Parent’s Representatives to comply with, all of its obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) Subject to compliance with Applicable Legal Requirements, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall notify Parent of, and confer from time to time as reasonably requested by Parent with one or more of Parent’s Representatives to discuss, any material changes or developments in the operational matters of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and the general status of the ongoing operations of the Business.

(c) No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition contained herein.

5.5. Confidentiality; Public Disclosure.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge that Parent and the Company have previously executed a Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of January 23, 2022 (as may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, including that certain Amendment to the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2023, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b) Parent and the Company have agreed to the text of the initial press release announcing the execution of this Agreement and the Transactions. Except with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Change of Recommendation and as provided in Section 5.3 or in connection with any dispute under this Agreement, the Company shall consult with Parent before issuing or making, and shall provide and shall not issue any press release or make any public statement relating to this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent; provided that the Company may, without obtaining such prior consent, issue such press release or make such public statement to the extent that the Company determines in good faith (following consultation with its outside legal counsel) that such press release or public statement is required by Applicable Legal Requirements to be issued or made; provided, further, that the Company has used reasonable best efforts to consult and discuss in good faith with Parent the form and content thereof prior to its release and has considered in good faith any reasonable changes that are suggested by Parent prior to releasing or making such press release or public statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, each party may, without such consultation or consent, (a) make any public statement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, make internal announcements to employees and make disclosures in Company SEC Reports, so long as such statement is consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the parties (or individually, if approved by the other party), (b) make any communication (including a press release or other public statement) regarding an Alternative Acquisition Proposal or Company communication (including a press release or other public statement) made by the Company from and after a Change of Recommendation by the Company Board or (c) make any communication in connection with any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company Representatives to comply with this Section 5.5. Prior to the Closing, (i) neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall (and each shall cause its Affiliates, and direct its Representatives, not to) initiate contact or communications with any of the employees, customers, licensors or suppliers of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries regarding the Merger, the Company or its Business, without the prior written consent of the Company and (ii) the Company shall consult in good faith with Parent on the Company’s general communications strategy for customers, suppliers and employees regarding the Merger.

5.6. Regulatory Approvals.

(a) Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall apply for or otherwise seek, and use its respective reasonable best efforts to obtain, all consents, waiting period expirations or terminations, waivers and approvals required to be obtained by it for the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company shall make any filings required under the HSR Act and any other additional merger control filings required by the Antitrust Laws and foreign investment filings required by the Foreign Investment Laws of the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (together with the filings required under the HSR Act, “Merger Notification and Foreign Investment Filings”):

(i) with respect to any filings required under the HSR Act, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Agreement Date unless otherwise mutually agreed by Parent and the Company and (ii) with respect to any other Merger Notification and Foreign Investment Filings, as promptly as possible and in any event (x) within the time periods set forth in Schedule 5.6 of the Company Disclosure Letter or (y) as otherwise mutually agreed by Parent and the Company; provided that, in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the filing party has received from the other party all information regarding such other party as is reasonably necessary to make such filing. Each of the Parent and the Company shall thereafter use reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable and advisable to any request for information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity pursuant to any Antitrust Law or Foreign Investment Law of the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(b) To the extent permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any filing, submission, analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or any foreign or other Antitrust Law or Foreign Investment Law of the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, (ii) coordinate with one another in preparing and exchanging such materials, including by promptly supplying each other with any information that may be required or desirable for any Merger Notification and Foreign Investment Filings to be made by the other Party, (iii) keep the other party reasonably informed of the status of matters related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by promptly informing each other of any substantive oral communications with, and provide copies of any substantive written communications with, any Governmental Entity of the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter and (iv) promptly provide one another (and its counsel) with copies of all filings, presentations (and a summary of any oral presentations) made by such party to any Governmental Entity of the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter in connection with this Agreement; provided that any materials exchanged pursuant to this Section 5.6 may be redacted (x) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, (y) as necessary to comply with legal or contractual requirements and (z) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns. In addition, any party may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any confidential and competitively sensitive material provided to the other parties under this Section 5.6 as “Outside Counsel Only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials. No party shall independently participate in any substantive meeting (including telephonically) with any Governmental Entity of the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter in regards to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without giving the other parties prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent practicable and permitted by law and such Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. No Party shall (or shall permit any of its Affiliates to) withdraw their filing under the HSR Act or any foreign or other Antitrust Law or Foreign Investment Law of the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter in connection with the Transactions, or commit to or agree with any Governmental Body of the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter to stay, toll, or extend, any applicable waiting period or enter into any similar timing agreement, without the prior written consent of the other parties.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions under any applicable Antitrust Laws or Foreign Investment Laws of the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent necessary to obtain clearance of the Merger pursuant to the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws or Foreign Investment Laws of the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, Parent shall timely make proposals, execute or carry out agreements or submit to Orders providing for (A) the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (B) the termination of existing relationships, contractual rights, or obligations of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, including after giving effect to the Transactions, other than in respect of Foreign Investment Laws or (C) the termination of any venture or other arrangement of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, including after giving effect to the Transactions, other than in respect of Foreign Investment Laws, except, notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent will not be required, either pursuant to this Section 5.6(c) or otherwise under this Agreement, to propose, execute, carry out or agree or submit to any action or remedy that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, (i) a material impact on the Business or the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) a material impact on the benefits expected to be derived by Parent or its Affiliates from the Merger and the other Transactions or (iii) a material impact on any business or product line of Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries). Further, Parent and the Company will, to the extent necessary to obtain clearance of the Merger pursuant to the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws or Foreign Investment Laws of the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, engage in litigation to contest or resist any action instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the Merger as in violation of any Antitrust Law, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, limits or restricts consummation of the Merger, including by appeal of any adverse ruling of any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction in the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to the limitations and covenants set forth in this Section 5.6, Parent shall control the strategy related to obtaining and/or satisfying all consents, waiting period expirations or terminations, waivers and approvals that may be sought from any Governmental Entity pursuant to this Section 5.6, including by directing the nature, and substance of any filings, forms, statements, commitments, decisions, submissions, negotiations and communications contemplated or made with respect thereto in accordance with this Section 5.6 (provided that any decision to (x) withdraw any such filing or (y) stay, toll or extend any waiting period, or enter into any timing agreement, in each case, in respect of any such filing, shall require the Company’s prior written consent), as well as the manner in which to contest or otherwise respond, by litigation or otherwise, to objections to, or Legal Proceedings challenging, the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions. Nothing in this Section 5.6 shall limit a party’s right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) so long as such party has until such date complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 5.6.

5.7. Reasonable Best Efforts. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, including in Section 4.3 and Section 5.6(c), each of the parties hereto agrees to use its respective reasonable best efforts, and to cooperate with each other party hereto to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, appropriate or desirable to consummate and make effective, as expeditiously as practicable, the Merger and the other Transactions, including (i) taking all reasonable actions necessary to satisfy the respective conditions set forth in Article VI and (ii) executing and delivering such other instruments and doing and performing such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary, appropriate or desirable to effect completely the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions.

5.8. Third-Party Consents; Consultations.

(a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the Closing, and deliver to Parent, at or prior to the Closing, all consents, waivers and approvals under each Contract listed or described on Schedule 2.3(b) or Schedule 2.3(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter (and any Contract entered into after the Agreement Date that would have been required to be listed or described on such Schedule 2.3(b) or Schedule 2.3(c) if entered into prior to the Agreement Date), in each case to the extent reasonably requested by Parent and using a form reasonably acceptable to Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to obtain any such consent, waiver or approval shall not constitute a breach of covenant or agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, including Section 6.3(b).

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Agreement Date, the Company will initiate a process of informing and consulting appropriate representatives of its non-U.S. employees or the non-U.S. employees themselves, to the extent required under Applicable Legal Requirements, regarding a prospective transfer of employment to Parent or any of its Affiliates with effect following the Closing. Subject to Section 5.4 and Applicable Legal Requirements, the Company shall allow Parent or its relevant Affiliate to participate in such information and consultation process.

5.9. Notice of Certain Matters. Each party shall will notify each other party in writing promptly of: (i) any written notice or other written communication received by such party from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger as a result of any Contract or other arrangement between such Person, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or anyone acting on their respective behalves, on the other hand, (ii) any written notice or other written communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity (in the case of Parent, with respect to any Antitrust Laws or Foreign Investment Laws) or any official or employee of any such Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger, (iii) any Legal Proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity being initiated by or against such party or any of its Subsidiaries, or, in the case of the Company only, known by such party to be threatened against such party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or stockholders in their capacity as such, or of any written correspondence received by such party from any Person asserting or threatening a claim with respect to the Merger or, in the case of the Company, any of the Company’s assets or properties

(including Intellectual Property Rights), in each case, that is, or is reasonably likely to be, material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iv) becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by such party in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure by such party to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant or agreement to be complied with or performed by it pursuant to this Agreement, in each case if and only to the extent that such untruth, inaccuracy, or failure would reasonably likely to cause any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 6.1 not to be timely satisfied. No notification given pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements herein or affect the satisfaction or non-satisfaction of any conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to Parent or the Company, as applicable.

5.10. Employees Matters.

(a) Parent shall ensure that the Continuing Employees shall receive the benefits set forth in Schedule 5.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter for the period of time described therein.

(c) With respect to any welfare plan maintained by Parent or its Affiliates in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its other Affiliates, to the extent permitted by the relevant welfare plan and consistent with such plans’ application to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates who are not Continuing Employees, to (i) cause each such Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate in such plans to the extent that coverage pursuant to such plans replaces coverage pursuant to a comparable Company Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees and their qualified dependents to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such employees and their qualified dependents under the welfare plans maintained by the Company or its Affiliates prior to the Effective Time.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, nothing will require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof to continue any Company Employee Plan or prohibit the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries from amending or terminating any such plans in accordance with their terms or if otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law. The Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) cause each outstanding award under the Company Long-Term Cash Award Plan to continue in accordance with its terms from and after the Effective Time.

(e) This Section 5.10 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto (meaning, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company), and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.10.

Unless otherwise requested by Parent in writing, the Company Board, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, shall adopt, and the Company shall deliver to Parent a true, correct and complete copy of, resolutions terminating any and all Company Employee Plans (i) intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (each, a “Company 401(k) Plan”) and (ii) that are flexible spending accounts for health and dependent care, in each case, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the date the Company becomes a member of the same controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code) as Parent but contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing. In such event, prior to the Closing Date and thereafter (as applicable), the Company and Parent shall take any and all action as may be required, including amendments to a U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Parent 401(k) Plan”), to permit each Continuing Employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) in cash or notes (representing plan loans from the Company 401(k) Plan) in an amount equal to the eligible rollover distribution portion of the account balance distributable to such Continuing Employee from such Company 401(k) Plan to the corresponding Parent 401(k) Plan. If the Company 401(k) Plan is terminated as described herein, the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in a Parent 401(k) Plan as soon as practicable on or following the Closing Date.

5.14. D&O Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to their respective present and former directors and officers (the “Indemnified Parties”) pursuant to any indemnification agreements with the Company or such Subsidiary made available to Parent and any indemnification or advancement provisions under the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) as in effect on the Agreement Date with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers of the Company or such Subsidiary occurring prior to the Effective Time, in each case, subject to Applicable Legal Requirements. From and after the Effective Time, such obligations shall be joint and several obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to advancement, exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable in the aggregate to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company (or equivalent organizational documents) as in effect on the Agreement Date, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that adversely affects the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by Applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries occurring prior to the Effective Time, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Agreement Date in the form made available by the Company to Parent prior to the Agreement Date (the “Existing D&O Policy”), to the extent that directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage is commercially available; provided that: (i) the Surviving Corporation may substitute for the Existing D&O Policy a policy or policies of comparable coverage, including a “tail” or “runoff” insurance policy, (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or for any substitute or “tail” policies) in excess of an amount equal to 300% of the most recently paid annual premium for the Existing D&O Policy (the “Maximum Premium”) and (iii) if requested by Parent, the Company shall issue a broker of record letter acceptable to Parent permitting Parent’s insurance broker to negotiate and place such “tail” or “runoff” insurance of comparable coverage, Parent shall have the right to negotiate such coverage and the Company shall reasonably cooperate therewith. In the event any future annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policies) exceed the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute or “tail” policies) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company in its sole discretion elects, by giving written notice to Parent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, in lieu of the foregoing insurance, the Company may purchase a comparable “tail” or “runoff” extension to the Existing D&O Policy for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time for a premium not to exceed the Maximum Premium.

(c) This Section 5.13 shall survive the consummation of the Merger, is intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Parties, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation and Parent and shall be enforceable by each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives, and may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Effective Time without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Party (provided that any amendment, alteration or repeal prior the Effective Time shall be governed by Section 7.4). If any Indemnified Party makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 5.13 that is denied by Parent and/or the Company or the Surviving Corporation, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Party is entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses, then Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall pay the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with pursuing his or her claims to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving 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, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume and succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.13.

5.15. Section 16 Matters. The Company shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under Applicable Legal Requirements) to cause any disposition of Company Capital Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Capital Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each Company Insider to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. “Company Insiders” means those individuals who are subject to the reporting requirement of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

5.16. Takeover Statutes. The Company and the Company Board shall (i) take all actions necessary to ensure that no takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement and the Transactions and (ii) if any takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement or any Transactions, take all action necessary to ensure that the Merger and the other Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger and the other Transactions.

5.17. Director and Officer Resignations. At the request of Parent, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a written letter of resignation from each of the directors and officers of the Company and from each of the directors and officers of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries that will be effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

5.18. Stock Exchange Delisting; Deregistration.

5.19. Transaction Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall promptly notify Parent (including providing copies of all pleadings with respect thereto) of all Legal Proceedings against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or directors or otherwise relating to, involving or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case in connection with, arising from or otherwise relating to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement (“Transaction Litigation”). The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. The Company will give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense, prosecution or settlement of, any Transaction Litigation against the Company or any of its Transaction Litigation and consult with Parent with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any Transaction Litigation and will consider in good faith Parent’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation. The Company may not compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, any Transaction Litigation unless Parent has consented thereto in

writing; provided that Parent’s consent in this clause shall not be required if the settlement involves (I) solely (x) the payment of an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount set forth in Schedule 5.19 of the Company Disclosure Letter and (y) supplemental disclosure (provided that Parent shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any supplemental disclosure and the Company shall consider in good faith any changes thereto proposed by Parent), (II) no admission of wrongdoing or liability, (III) no injunctive or similar relief, (IV) a complete and unconditional release by the named plaintiffs of all defendants in respect of all disclosure claims then pending relating to this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions and (V) the withdrawal or dismissal of all claims and actions then pending relating to this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions.

(b) The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any notices, certificates, press releases, supplemental indentures, legal opinions, officers’ certificates or other documents or instruments required to be delivered pursuant to or in connection with any Convertible Notes or the Convertible Notes Indentures prior to the dispatch or making thereof, and the Company shall respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any reasonable questions from, and reflect any reasonable comments made by, Parent or its counsel with respect thereto prior to the dispatch or making thereof.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Convertible Notes Indenture without the prior written consent of the Parent.

(d) In connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in the event that Parent desires to consummate a repurchase offer, redemption or similar transaction, in each case in Parent’s sole discretion, with respect to any or all of the Convertible Notes (any such transaction, a “Repurchase Transaction”), each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to, and will use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives (and, in the case of the Company, the Trustee) to, cooperate with one another in good faith to permit such Repurchase Transaction to be effected on such terms, conditions and timing as reasonably requested by Parent, including if so requested by Parent, causing such Repurchase Transaction to be consummated substantially concurrently with, but not prior to, the Closing, and the Company shall prepare any documentation related thereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent; it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to prepare or commence any documentation for any Repurchase Transaction that will result in such Repurchase Transaction being effective prior to the Effective Time or incur any other cost or expense in connection with such Repurchase Transaction unless Parent agrees to reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith.

(e) The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent to enter into arrangements with the Capped Call Counterparties to cause the Capped Call Transactions to be exercised, settled, cancelled or otherwise terminated as of the Closing Date, and to enter into any documentation required to effect such termination. The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable provide Parent with any notices or other written communication received from any Capped Call Counterparty with respect to the Capped Call Transactions. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to keep Parent informed of all such discussions and negotiations and shall give Parent reasonable opportunity to participate (or have its counsel participate) in any such discussions and negotiations. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any written response to any written notice or other document received from any Capped Call Counterparty with respect to the Capped Call Transactions prior to making any such response, and the Company shall respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any reasonable questions from, and reflect any reasonable comments made by, Parent or its counsel with respect thereto prior to making any such response.

Parent shall have received a certificate to such effect signed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

(b) Covenants and Agreements. The Company shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all covenants and other agreements in this Agreement required to be performed and complied with by it at or prior to the Closing.

7.2. Manner of Termination; Effect of Termination.

(a) Manner of Termination. The party terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 (other than pursuant to Section 7.1(a)) must deliver prompt written notice thereof to the other parties setting forth in reasonable detail the provision of Section 7.1 pursuant to which this Agreement is being terminated and the facts and circumstances forming the basis for such termination pursuant to such provision.

(b) Effect of Termination. In the event of any proper and valid termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1 and this Section 7.2, this Agreement shall immediately upon the delivery of written notice thereof become void and of no further force or effect and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent or the Company or their respective affiliates or their respective Representatives; provided that (x) Section 5.5(a) (Confidentiality), this Section 7.2(b) (Effect of Termination), Section 7.3 (Expenses and Termination Fees) and Article VIII (General Provisions) shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement and (y) nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability in connection with any fraud or willful breach with respect to any of such party’s representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful breach” means a material breach that is a consequence of an act taken by the breaching party, or the failure by the breaching party to take an act it is required to take under this Agreement, in each case with actual knowledge that the taking of, or the failure to take, such act would, or would be reasonably expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement will affect the rights or obligations of any party pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement, which rights, obligations and agreements will survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.

7.3. Expenses and Termination Fees.

(a) General. Except as set forth in this Section 7.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees and expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) Company Termination Fee. The Company shall pay to Parent a cash amount equal to $1,000,000,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”) in the event that this Agreement is terminated: (i) pursuant to Section 7.1(g), (ii) pursuant to Section 7.1(h) or (iii) pursuant to either Section 7.1(b) (prior to the Company receiving the Company Stockholder Approval) or Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.1(f) and, in the case of this clause (iii), (A) prior to such termination, either an Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company was publicly disclosed and not publicly withdrawn (or, in the case of Section 7.1(b), an Acquisition Proposal shall otherwise exist and shall not have been withdrawn) and (B) within 12 months of the termination of this Agreement, either an Acquisition Transaction with respect to the Company is consummated

or the Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Transaction. The Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent promptly but in no event later than: (x) for a termination described in clause (i), within one (1) Business Day after the date of such termination, (y) for a termination described in clause (ii), prior to or concurrently with such termination or (z) for a termination described in clause (iii), within one (1) Business Day after the earlier of the consummation of such Acquisition Transaction or the entry into such definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Transaction. For purposes of this Section 7.3(b), all references to “15%” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” will be deemed to be references to “50%.”

(c) The Company acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in Section 7.3(b) are an integral part of the Transactions, (ii) the amount of, and the basis for payment of, the fees and expenses described therein is reasonable and appropriate in all respects and (iii) without this agreement, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner the Company Termination Fee due pursuant to Section 7.3(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a judgment for the amount set forth in Section 7.3(b) or any portion thereof, the Company shall pay to Parent its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such Legal Proceeding, together with interest on the amount set forth in Section 7.3(b) or portion thereof at the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. in effect from time to time, or a lesser rate that is the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, from the date such payment was required to be made hereunder through the date that such payment or portion thereof is actually received. Payment of the fees and expenses described in Section 7.3(b) shall not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of breach of this Agreement. All payments due to Parent under this Section 7.3 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent.

(d) Parent Termination Fee. Parent shall pay to the Company a cash amount equal to $1,478,000,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) in the event that this Agreement is terminated: (i)��pursuant to Section 7.1(c) due to an Order or any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger, arising solely in connection with any applicable Antitrust Law in the jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules or (ii) pursuant to Section 7.1(b) and all conditions to this Agreement are satisfied (other than conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) or waived (where permissible pursuant to Applicable Legal Requirements), other than those conditions set forth in Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.1(c) (solely in connection with any applicable Antitrust Law in the jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules), then Parent shall pay to the Company the Parent Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company promptly but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after the date of such termination.

(e) Parent acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in Section 7.3(d) are an integral part of the Transactions, (ii) the amount of, and the basis for payment of, the fees and expenses described therein is reasonable and appropriate in all respects and (iii) without this agreement, the Company would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Parent fails to pay in a timely manner the Parent Termination Fee due pursuant to Section 7.3(d), and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a judgment for

the amount set forth in Section 7.3(d) or any portion thereof, Parent shall pay to the Company its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such Legal Proceeding, together with interest on the amount set forth in Section 7.3(d) or portion thereof at the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. in effect from time to time, or a lesser rate that is the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, from the date such payment was required to be made hereunder through the date that such payment or portion thereof is actually received. Payment of the fees and expenses described in Section 7.3(d) shall not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of breach of this Agreement. All payments due to the Company under this Section 7.3 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company.

(f) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company or Parent be required to pay the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, on more than one occasion, whether or not the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different time and the occurrence of different events.

7.4. Amendment. Subject to Applicable Legal Requirements and the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time pursuant to an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (pursuant to authorized action by the Company Board (or a committee thereof)); provided that, after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, no such amendment shall be made to the extent that Applicable Legal Requirements would require further approval by the Company’s stockholders without such further stockholder approval.

7.5. Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may, subject to Applicable Legal Requirements and except as otherwise set forth herein, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The agreement of Parent to any extension or waiver shall be deemed to be the agreement of Merger Sub to such extension or waiver. No delay in exercising any rights under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

8.3. Interpretation.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. When a reference is made to a Schedule, such reference shall be to a Schedule of the Company Disclosure Letter. Where a reference is made to an Applicable Legal Requirement, such reference is to such Applicable Legal Requirement as then in effect. Where a reference is made to a Contract or instrument such reference is to such Contract or instrument as then in effect. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(b) The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrases “provide to” and “deliver to” and phrases of similar import when used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, shall mean that a true, correct and complete paper or electronic copy of the information or material referred to has been delivered to the party to whom such information or material is to be provided. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender include each other gender, (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively and (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement and (iv) references to clauses without a cross-reference to a Section or subsection are references to clauses within the same Section or, if more specific, subsection. References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. References to any statute are to that statute as then in effect, and to the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. References to “$” and “dollars” are to the currency of the United States. References from or through any date shall mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” All references to “days” shall be to calendar days unless otherwise indicated as a “Business Day.”

(c) Unless indicated otherwise, all mathematical calculations contemplated by this Agreement shall be rounded to the tenth decimal place.

8.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto; it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by.pdf,.tif,.gif,.jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

8.5. Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including all schedules and exhibits attached hereto, and the Company Disclosure Letter, (i) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in accordance with its terms and (ii) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, except the Indemnified Parties as expressly set forth in Section 5.13.

8.6. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment or delegation without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Parent may make such assignment or delegation to any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent without the prior consent of any other party hereto; provided that Parent shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

8.7. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be interpreted so as reasonably necessary to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

8.8. Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties agree not to raise any objections to (A) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand; and (B) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security

8.9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws, provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Delaware. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the Transactions and thereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any Legal Proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such Legal Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such Legal Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereto hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 8.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

8.10. Rules of Construction. The parties hereto have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, hereby waive, with respect to this Agreement, each Schedule and each Exhibit attached hereto, the application of any Applicable Legal Requirement, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

8.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (b) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER; (c) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (d) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.11.

Section 1.2 Restrictions on Transfers.

(a) Subject to Section 1.5, absent the prior written consent of Parent, not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, each Stockholder hereby agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (x) the Expiration Date and (y) the date on which the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, tender in any tender or exchange offer, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or similarly dispose of (by merger, by testamentary disposition, by operation of law or otherwise) (each, a “Transfer”), either voluntarily or involuntarily, or enter into any swap, contract, option or other arrangement or understanding providing for the Transfer of, any rights, including economic consequences, arising from any shares of Company Common Stock (whether New Shares or Existing Shares) or agree to do any of the foregoing, other than any Permitted Transfer to a Permitted Transferee, but only if prior (and as a condition) to the effectiveness of such Transfer:

(i)

such Stockholder shall have given reasonable advance notice of such Transfer to Parent and the proposed form of written undertaking by the transferee to be bound by this Agreement and all obligations hereunder as if such transferee were a Stockholder and otherwise to become a party to this Agreement for all purposes hereunder, in each case, solely in respect of the Shares to be Transferred in accordance herewith;

(ii)

such form of undertaking shall be reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to Parent; and

(iii)

the transferee shall have executed and delivered, for the benefit of Parent, such undertaking to be bound by this Agreement and all obligations hereunder as if such transferee were such Stockholder and otherwise to become a party to this Agreement for all purposes hereunder, in each case, solely in respect of the Shares to be Transferred in accordance herewith.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.2, a Transfer shall not include any ordinary course Transfers by limited partners of any equity interests of any investment funds advised by Hellman & Friedman Advisors, LLC (each such fund, “H&F”) not formed for the sole purposes of holding the shares of Company Common Stock, in and of themselves, so long as any such Transfer does not have any adverse effect on the ability of the applicable Stockholder to perform its obligations under this Agreement on the terms set forth herein.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) no provision in this Agreement shall restrict a Stockholder from effecting any Transfer of Shares following the date on which the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, and any Shares so Transferred to any person other than a Stockholder shall no longer constitute Shares subject to the provisions hereof and (ii) in no event shall the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement with respect to the Shares in and of itself be deemed a Transfer in violation of this Agreement.

(d) As used in this Agreement, “Permitted Transfer” shall mean, in each case, with respect to each Stockholder, any Transfer of Shares by such Stockholder (i) to another Stockholder, (ii) if the Stockholder is a natural person (A) to any member of such Stockholder’s immediate family, (B) to a trust whose sole beneficiaries are such Stockholder and/or members of such Stockholder’s immediate family, or (C) upon the death of such Stockholder, or (iii) to an Affiliate of such Stockholder (as applicable, each, a “Permitted Transferee”).

(e) Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Shares in violation of this Section 1.2 shall, to the fullest extent permissible under Applicable Legal Requirements, be null and void ab initio. If any involuntary Transfer of any of such Stockholder’s Shares shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until the valid termination of this Agreement.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive compliance with, or condone non-compliance with, any transfer restrictions arising under applicable securities Laws or the provisions of any Contracts between any Stockholder and the Company.

Section 1.3 Inconsistent Agreements. Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, such Stockholder shall not, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, (a) enter into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the Shares that is inconsistent with this Agreement, (b) grant any proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to any Shares that is inconsistent with this Agreement or (c) enter into any agreement or undertaking that is otherwise inconsistent with, or would interfere with, or prohibit or prevent such Stockholder from satisfying such Stockholder’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 1.4 No Obligation to Exercise Rights or Options. Nothing contained in this Article I shall require any Stockholder (or shall entitle any proxy of such Stockholder) to convert, exercise or exchange any option, convertible securities or other rights in order to obtain any underlying New Shares.

Section 1.5 Margin Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, including the restrictions on Transfer set forth in Section 1.2 hereof, shall restrict or apply to Transfers of Shares (a) pursuant to any existing or hereafter granted pledge to one or more lenders under the Margin Agreement or any of the Security Agreements (in each case, as defined below), or a collateral agent on behalf thereof, including, without limitation, in connection with any amendment to the Margin Agreement (whether to increase the aggregate amount of borrowings thereunder or otherwise), or (b) pursuant to a foreclosure or exercise of remedies (or transfer in lieu of foreclosure) by any such lender or any collateral agent, in each case, acting on its behalf, including, without limitation, any Transfers of Shares by such lender or collateral agent. For the avoidance of doubt, any exercise of any lender’s rights and/or remedies under the Margin Agreement or any of the Security Agreements and any Transfer of Shares following any exercise of such remedies shall not be limited or restricted by any provision of this Agreement and no transferee of any Shares in connection therewith shall be required to be bound by this Agreement in any respect. As used herein, “Margin Agreement” means that certain margin loan agreement entered into by certain Stockholders and described in Amendment No. 1, filed on April 4, 2022, to the Schedule 13D originally filed by certain Stockholders on March 4, 2022, relating to the Shares described therein, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and “Security Agreements” means the accompanying pledge, security and other collateral agreements to the Margin Agreement, including any pledge and Security Agreements entered into after the date hereof.

Section 5.5 Amendments; Waivers. Subject to Applicable Legal Requirements and the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended or waived pursuant to an instrument in writing signed (i) in the case of an amendment, by the Company, Parent and each Stockholder, and (ii) in the case of a waiver, by the party (or parties) against whom the waiver is to be effective. No delay in exercising any rights under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 5.6 Assignment. Except as contemplated by Section 1.2 or the provisions of Exhibit A hereto, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment or delegation without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Parent may make such assignment or delegation to any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent without the prior consent of any other party hereto. No assignment by any party hereto shall relieve such party hereto of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 5.7 No Partnership, Agency, or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create, and creates, a contractual relationship and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between the parties hereto.

Section 5.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including Schedule A hereto), and, to the extent referenced herein, the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 5.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and does not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 5.10 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be interpreted so as reasonably necessary to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

Section 5.11 Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not

performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agree not to raise any objections to (A) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by any party hereto; and (B) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of the parties pursuant to this Agreement, in each case on the basis that such party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance or other equitable remedy is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security.

Section 5.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws, provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Delaware. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the Transactions and thereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any Legal Proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such Legal Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such Legal Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereto hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 5.4 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

Section 5.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Section 5.14 Further Assurances. Parent, the Company and each Stockholder will each execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments 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 under applicable Law, to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall provide any customary documentation reasonably requested by any lender under the Margin Agreement (including in connection with any upsize thereof) or similar financing agreement, including but not limited to, an issuer or similar agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement will require Stockholder to amend, modify, repay or terminate the Margin Agreement or any of the Security Agreements. Each Stockholder and its Affiliates may amend its Schedule 13D filed with the SEC to disclose this Agreement.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person which directly or indirectly controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each holder of Registrable Securities (i) the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries shall not be considered Affiliates of such holder or any of such holder’s Affiliates and (ii) for purposes of the definitions of “Beneficially Own”, “Registrable Securities”, no portfolio company of such holder of Registrable Securities or its Affiliates shall be deemed an Affiliate of such holder and its other Affiliates so long as such portfolio company has not been directed, encouraged, instructed, assisted or advised by, or coordinated with, such holder or any of its Affiliates in carrying out any act prohibited by this Agreement.

Section 2. Registration Statement.

(a) As soon as practicable after the date hereof (and in no event later than the date that the definitive Proxy Statement has been filed with the SEC), the Company will prepare and file and use reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective or otherwise become effective pursuant to the Securities Act (the “Registration Date”) a Registration Statement or post-effective amendment to an existing Registration Statement in order to provide for resales of Registrable Securities to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Initial Registration Statement”). By the Registration Date, the Company shall prepare and file a supplemental listing application with the Nasdaq to list the Registrable Securities covered by the Initial Registration Statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such Registrable Securities approved for listing on the Nasdaq, subject only to official notice of issuance. In addition, the Company will from time to time use reasonable efforts to file such additional Registration Statements to cover resales of any Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale pursuant to a the Initial Registration Statement and will use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective or otherwise to become effective under the Securities Act and will use its reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times until the Registration Termination Date. Any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2 shall cover only Registrable Securities, shall be on Form S-3 (or a successor form) if the Company is eligible to use such form and shall be an automatically effective Registration Statement if the Company is a WKSI.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 3, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to keep the initial Registration Statement (or any replacement Registration Statement) continuously effective until the earlier of (such earlier date, the “Registration Termination Date”): (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, (ii) there otherwise cease to be any Registrable Securities and (iii) if the Company consolidates or merges with or into any Person in a transaction that constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change and the Company Common Stock is, in whole or in part, converted into or exchanged for securities of a different issuer and/or cash in a transaction that will constitute a Change in Control and the shares of Company Common Stock are delisted from Nasdaq.

(c) From and after the date hereof until the Registration Termination Date, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain eligibility to be able to file and use a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during such period of time from and after the Registration Date that the Company ceases to be eligible to file or use a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto), upon the written request of any holder or holders of Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act covering the Registrable Securities of the requesting party or parties, as applicable, and use reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective pursuant to the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable after filing thereof. Each such written request must specify the amount and intended manner of disposition of such Registrable Securities; provided, that the minimum amount of such Registrable Securities shall be $75,000,000. Any Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall not be required to cover Registrable Securities to be offered on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The obligations of the Company under this Section 2(c) shall not impact the obligations of the Company under Section 2(a) which shall continue to be in force.

Section 3. Registration Limitations and Obligations.

(a) Subject to Section 2, the Company will use reasonable efforts to prepare such supplements or amendments (including a post-effective amendment), if required by applicable law, to each applicable Registration Statement and file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will be Available at all times during the period for which such Registration Statement is, or is required pursuant to this Agreement to be, effective; provided, that no such supplement, amendment or filing will be required during a Blackout Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities, to require such holders of Registrable Securities to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement during any Blackout Period; provided, for purposes of this Section 3, the Company shall only be obligated to provide written notice to any holder or Beneficial Owner of Registrable Securities of any such Blackout Period if such holder or Beneficial Owner has specified in writing to the Company for purposes of receiving such notice such holder’s or Beneficial Owner’s address, contact and fax number information. No sales may be made under the applicable Registration Statement during any Blackout Period (with respect to

clause (ii) of the definition thereof, of which the holders of Registrable Securities have or are deemed to have received notice). In the event of a Blackout Period under clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Company shall (x) deliver to the holders of Registrable Securities a certificate signed by the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, general counsel or treasurer of the Company confirming that the conditions described in clause (ii) of the definition of Blackout Period are met, which certificate shall contain an approximation of the anticipated delay, and (y) notify each holder of Registrable Securities promptly upon each of the commencement and the termination of each Blackout Period, which notice of termination shall be delivered to each holder of Registrable Securities no later than the close of business of the last day of the Blackout Period. In connection with the expiration of any Blackout Period and without any further request from a holder of Registrable Securities, the Company to the extent necessary and as required by applicable law shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare supplements or amendments, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that the Registration Statement will be Available. A Blackout Period described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof shall be deemed to have expired when the Company has notified the holders of Registrable Securities that the Blackout Period is over and the Registration Statement is Available. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the absence of an Available Registration Statement at any time from and after the Registration Date shall be considered a Blackout Period described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof and subject to the limitations therein, except to the extent such absence occurs during (and does not extend beyond) a Blackout Period described in clause (i) of the definition thereof. For avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of a Blackout Period described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, any additional duration of a Blackout Period will be deemed to a Blackout Period described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof and subject to the limitations therein.

(b) At any time that a Registration Statement is effective and prior to the Registration Termination Date, if a holder of Registrable Securities delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it, together with any other holder of Registrable Securities, intend to sell at least $75,000,000 in aggregate of Registrable Securities held by such holder and such other holders (provided that, if the holders of Registrable Securities and their Affiliates do not collectively own at least $75,000,000 of Registrable Securities, they shall be permitted to deliver a Take-Down Notice to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by them (but such amount may not in any case be less than $25,000,000 collectively of Registrable Securities), in each case, pursuant to the Registration Statement, then, the Company shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement as may be necessary and to the extent required by law so that the Registration Statement remains Available in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed in an Underwritten Offering. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities for which a holder delivers a Take-Down Notice and satisfies the dollar thresholds set forth in first sentence above, and where the Take-Down Notice contemplates marketing efforts not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours by the Company and the underwriters, the Company will use reasonable efforts to cooperate and make its senior officers available for participation in such marketing efforts (which marketing efforts will not, for the avoidance of doubt, include a “road show” requiring such officers to travel outside of the city in which they are primarily located). The holder of Registrable Securities that delivered the applicable Take-Down Notice shall select the underwriter(s) for the Underwritten Offering; provided that the managing

underwriter(s) (if there is only one underwriter, such underwriter shall be deemed to be the managing underwriter) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall select the counsel for the managing underwriter(s); provided that such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the underwriter(s) and the holder of Registrable Securities that delivered the applicable Take-Down Notice. Such holder shall determine the pricing of the Registrable Securities offered pursuant to any such Registration Statement, including the underwriting discount and fees payable by such holder to the underwriters in such Underwritten Offering. Such holder shall reasonably determine the timing of any such registration and sale. Such holder shall determine the applicable underwriting discount and other financial terms, and such holder of the Registrable Securities sold in the Underwritten Offering shall be solely responsible for all such discounts and fees payable to such underwriters in such Underwritten Offering. Without the consent of the applicable holder of Registrable Securities subject to an Underwritten Offering, no Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Agreement shall include any securities other than Registrable Securities.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if holders of Registrable Securities engage or propose to engage in a “distribution” (as defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act) of Registrable Securities, such holders shall discuss the timing of such distribution with the Company reasonably prior to commencing such distribution, and (ii) such distribution must not be for less than $75,000,000 of Registrable Securities held by such holders (provided that, if collectively the holders of Registrable Securities and their Affiliates do not own at least $75,000,000 of Registrable Securities, they shall be permitted to engage in such distribution with respect to all of the Registrable Securities held by them (for so long as they hold collectively at least $25,000,000 of Registrable Securities)).

(d) In connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities in which the holders of Registrable Securities are selling an aggregate of at least $200,000,000 of Registrable Securities, the Company shall, to be extent requested by managing underwriter(s) of such a distribution, be subject to a restricted period of the same length of time as such holder agrees with the managing underwriter(s) (but not to exceed 90 days) during which the Company may not offer, sell or grant any option to purchase Company Common Stock (in the case of an offering of Company Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for Company Common Stock) and any debt securities (in the case of an offering of debt securities) of the Company, subject to customary carve-outs that include, but are not limited to, (i) issuances pursuant to the Company’s employee or director stock plans and issuances of shares upon the exercise of options or other equity awards under such stock plans and (ii) in connection with acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic transactions (subject to, in the case of this clause (ii), a limit not to exceed 10% of the Company’s then outstanding Company Common Stock).

Section 4. Registration Procedures.

(a) If and whenever the Company is required to use reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act and in connection with any distribution of Registered Securities pursuant thereto as provided in this Agreement (including any sale referred to in any Take-Down Notice), the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(i) use reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement to effect such registration in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution of such securities and thereafter use reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective pursuant to the terms of this Exhibit A; provided, however, that the Company may discontinue any registration of its securities which are not Registrable Securities at any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating thereto; provided, further, that before filing such registration statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, including any prospectus supplements in connection with a sale referred to in a Take-Down Notice, the Company will furnish to the holders which are including Registrable Securities in such registration (“Selling Holders”) and the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review and reasonable comment (which comments will be considered in good faith by the Company) of the counsel (if any) to such holders and counsel (if any) to such underwriter(s), and other documents reasonably requested by any such counsel, including any comment letter from the SEC, and, if requested by any such counsel, provide such counsel and the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and each prospectus (including any prospectus supplement) included or deemed included therein and such other opportunities to conduct a customary and reasonable due diligence investigation (in the context of a registered underwritten offering) of the Company, including reasonable access to (including responses to any reasonable inquiries by the lead managing underwriter(s) and their counsel) the Company’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors;

(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary and to the extent required by applicable law to keep such Registration Statement effective and Available pursuant to the terms of this Exhibit A;

(iii) if requested by the lead managing underwriter(s), promptly include in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, and such holders may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 4(a)(iii) that are not, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with applicable law;

(iv) furnish to the Selling Holders and each underwriter, if any, of the securities being sold by such Selling Holders such number of conformed copies of such Registration Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto, such number of copies of the prospectus and any prospectus supplement contained in or deemed part of such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus supplement) and each free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) (a “Free Writing Prospectus”) utilized in connection therewith and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such Selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holders;

(v) use reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(vi) use reasonable efforts to provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

(vii) as promptly as practicable notify in writing the holders of Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, of the following events: (A) the filing of the Registration Statement, any amendment thereto, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or any Free Writing Prospectus utilized in connection therewith, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; (B) any request by the SEC or any other U.S. or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or the prospectus or for additional information; (C) the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings by any person for that purpose; (D) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose; (E) if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) related to such registration cease to be true and correct in any material respect; and (F) upon the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such registration statement, prospectus or documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(viii) use reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest reasonable practicable date, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to (A) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (ix) be obligated to be so qualified, (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(a) The Company agrees, without limitation as to time, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Selling Holder or such other indemnified Person and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriter (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, in each case related to such Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 6(a)) will reimburse each such Selling Holder, each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents and each such Person who controls each such Selling Holder and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, each such underwriter and each such Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by any information regarding a holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by any such person or any selling holder or underwriter expressly for use therein.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Selling Holder is participating, without limitation as to time, each such Selling Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors and officers, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 6(b)) will reimburse the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, in each case solely to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding the Selling Holder furnished to the Company by such Selling Holder for inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.

(d) In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, the indemnified party shall promptly notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the indemnifying party with respect to such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially

prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate legal counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, for all indemnified parties in connection therewith)). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any such assumption by an indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding, (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (z) is settled solely for cash for which the indemnified party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The failure of an indemnified party to give notice to an indemnifying party of any action brought against such indemnified party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent such failure adversely prejudices the indemnifying party.

(e) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the sale or other transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of its net proceeds from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to any actions or proceedings over the amount of any damages, indemnity or contribution that such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(g) The indemnification and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 are in addition to any liability that the indemnifying party may have to the indemnified party and do not limit other provisions of this Agreement that provide for indemnification.

Section 7. Facilitation of Sales Pursuant to Rule 144. For as long as any holder holds Registrable Securities, to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144) and submit all required Interactive Data Files (as defined in Rule 11 of Regulation S-T of the Commission), and shall use reasonable efforts to take such further necessary action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request in connection with the removal of any restrictive legend on the Registrable Securities being sold, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell the Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144.

Section 8. Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities under this Exhibit A may not be transferred or assigned except pursuant to this Section 8. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict transfers of Registrable Securities to any lenders under the Margin Agreement or any of the Security Agreements, or a collateral agent on behalf thereof. The Stockholders may transfer or assign their rights pursuant to this Agreement to (i) any of their Affiliates and (ii) the lenders and collateral agent under the Margin Agreement or any similar financing arrangement.

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.1: Annual Meetings. Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting, as permitted by Section 211 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date and time as the Board of Directors shall each year fix. The meeting may be held either at a place, within or without the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may determine. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

Section 1.2: Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors. Special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.

Section 1.3: Notice of Meetings. Notice of all meetings of stockholders shall be given in writing or by electronic transmission in the manner provided by law (including, without limitation, as set forth in Section 7.1(b) of these Bylaws) stating the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, such notice shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

Section 1.4: Adjournments. The chair of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seems to him or her to be in order. The chair shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another time, date and place (if any). Any meeting of stockholders may adjourn from time to time, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, date and place (if any) thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, then a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 1.5: Quorum. At each meeting of stockholders the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except if otherwise required by applicable law. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairperson of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting may adjourn the meeting. Shares of the Corporation’s stock belonging to the Corporation (or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation are held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation), shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any other corporation to vote any shares of the Corporation’s stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity and to count such shares for purposes of determining a quorum.

Section 1.6: Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by such person as the Board of Directors may designate, or, in the absence of such a person, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, or, in the absence of such person, the President of the Corporation, or, in the absence of such person, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting. Such person shall be chairperson of the meeting and, subject to Section 1.11 hereof, shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seems to him or her to be in order. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in such person’s absence the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 1.7: Voting; Proxies. Unless otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the provisions of Section 1.8 of these Bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or to take corporate action by written consent without a meeting, may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. Such a proxy may be prepared, transmitted and delivered in any manner permitted by applicable law. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot unless such is demanded at the meeting before voting begins by a stockholder or stockholders holding shares representing at least one percent (1%) of the votes entitled to vote at such meeting, or by such stockholder’s or stockholders’ proxy; provided, however, that an election of directors shall be by written ballot if demand is so made by any stockholder at the meeting before voting begins. If a vote is to be taken by written ballot, then each such ballot shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as the chairperson of the meeting deems appropriate and, if authorized by the Board of Directors, the ballot may be submitted by electronic transmission in the manner provided by law. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, every matter other than the election of directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote thereon that are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and are voted for or against the matter.

Section 1.8: Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to take corporate action by written consent without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, then the record date shall be as provided by applicable law. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.9: List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network as permitted by law (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is held at a place, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present at the meeting. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access the list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

Section 1.10: Action by Written Consent of Stockholders.

(a) Procedure. Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents are in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed in the manner permitted by law by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Written stockholder consents shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent in the manner permitted by law and shall be delivered to the Corporation as provided in subsection (b) below. No written consent shall be effective to take the action set forth therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner provided above, written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action set forth therein are delivered to the Corporation in the manner provided above.

(b) A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine (i) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in

which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a Corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on delivery, consents given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission may be otherwise delivered to the principal place of business of the Corporation or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded if, to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(c) Notice of Consent. Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action by stockholders without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent of the stockholders shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented thereto in writing and, who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting, if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as required by law. In the case of a Certificate of Action (as defined below), if the Delaware General Corporation Law so requires, such notice shall be given prior to filing of the certificate in question. If the action which is consented to requires the filing of a certificate under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Certificate of Action”), then if the Delaware General Corporation Law so requires, the certificate so filed shall state that written stockholder consent has been given in accordance with Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and that written notice of the taking of corporate action by stockholders without a meeting as described herein has been given as provided in such section.

Section 1.11: Inspectors of Elections.

(a) Applicability. Unless otherwise provided in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the following provisions of this Section 1.11 shall apply only if and when the Corporation has a class of voting stock that is: (i) listed on a national securities exchange; (ii) authorized for quotation on an automated interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; or (iii) held of record by more than two thousand (2,000) stockholders. In all other cases, observance of the provisions of this Section 1.11 shall be optional, and at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(b) Appointment. The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.

(c) Inspector’s Oath. Each inspector of election, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability.

(d) Duties of Inspectors. At a meeting of stockholders, the inspectors of election shall (i) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each share, (ii) determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period of time a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors.

(e) Opening and Closing of Polls. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced by the inspectors at the meeting. No ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery upon application by a stockholder shall determine otherwise.

(f) Determinations. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, any information provided in connection with proxies in accordance with Section 212(c)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, ballots and the regular books and records of the Corporation, except that the inspectors may consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their certification of their determinations pursuant to this Section 1.11 shall specify the precise information considered by them, including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1: Indemnification of Officers and Directors in Third Party Proceedings. Each person who was or is made a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (the “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person (or a person of whom such person is the legal representative), is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or a Reincorporated Predecessor (as defined below) or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or a Reincorporated Predecessor (as defined below) as a director or officer of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. As used herein, the term the “Reincorporated Predecessor” means a corporation that is merged with and into the Corporation in a statutory merger where (a) the Corporation is the surviving corporation of such merger; or (b) the primary purpose of such merger is to change the corporate domicile of the Reincorporated Predecessor to Delaware. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 6.2: Indemnification of Officers and Directors in Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to the other provisions of this Article VI, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or while a director or officer of the corporation is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 6.3: Successful Defense. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

Section 6.4: Advance of Expenses. The Corporation shall pay all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such a director or officer in defending any Proceeding as they are incurred in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if the Delaware General Corporation Law then so requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by such a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI.

Section 6.5: Determination; Claim. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VI is not paid in full within 90 days after receipt by the corporation of the written request therefor, the claimant shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. The corporation shall indemnify such person against any and all expenses that are incurred by such person in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of expenses from the corporation under this Article VI, to the extent such person is successful in such action, and to the extent not prohibited by law. In any such suit, the corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses.

Section 6.6: Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote or consent of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Additionally, nothing in this Article VI shall limit the ability of the Corporation, in its discretion, to indemnify or advance expenses to persons whom the Corporation is not obligated to indemnify or advance expenses pursuant to this Article VI.

Section 6.7: Indemnification Contracts. The Board of Directors is authorized to cause the Corporation to enter into indemnification contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, providing indemnification rights to such person. Such rights may be greater than those provided in this Article VI.

Section 6.8: Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

Section 6.9: Survival. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article VI shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 6.10: Effect of Amendment. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VI shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any right or protection conferred on a person pursuant to this Article VI and existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VII

NOTICES

Section 7.1: Notice. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in these Bylaws (including, without limitation, Section 7.1(b) below) or required by law, all notices required to be given pursuant to these Bylaws shall be in writing and may in every instance be effectively given by hand delivery (including use of a delivery service), by depositing such notice in the mail, postage prepaid, or by sending such notice by prepaid telegram, telex, overnight express courier, mailgram or facsimile. Any such notice shall be addressed to the person to whom notice is to be given at such person’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. The notice shall be deemed given (i) in the case of hand delivery, when received by the person to whom notice is to be given or by any person accepting such notice on behalf of such person, (ii) in the case of delivery by mail, upon deposit in the mail, (iii) in the case of delivery by overnight express courier, when dispatched, and (iv) in the case of delivery via telegram, telex, mailgram, or facsimile, when dispatched.

(b) Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

(c) An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given in writing or by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Section 7.2: Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of these Bylaws, a written waiver of notice, signed by the person entitled to notice, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any waiver of notice.

ARTICLE VIII

INTERESTED DIRECTORS

Section 8.1: Interested Directors; Quorum. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof that authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his, her or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (i) the material facts as to his, her or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; (ii) the material facts as to his, her or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. Interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

ARTICLE IX

Section 9.3: Form of Records. Any records maintained by the Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account and minute books, may be kept on or by means of, or be in the form of, diskettes, or any other information storage device or method, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time. The Corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect such records pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 9.4: Reliance Upon Books and Records. A member of the Board of Directors, or a member of any committee designated by the Board of Directors shall, in the performance of such person’s duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon records of the Corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Corporation by any of the Corporation’s officers or employees, or committees of the Board of Directors, or by any other person as to matters the member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation.

Section 9.5: Certificate of Incorporation Governs. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation shall govern.

Section 9.6: Severability. If any provision of these Bylaws shall be held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the provisions of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, then such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the maximum extent possible consistent with such holding and the remaining provisions of these Bylaws (including without limitation, all portions of any section of these Bylaws containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the Certificate of Incorporation, that are not themselves invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the Certificate of Incorporation) shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE X
