Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On March 23, 2025, LENSAR, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LENSAR” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Alcon Research, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent” or “Alcon”), and VMI Option Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), other than any shares of Company Common Stock (i) owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or (ii) owned by Company stockholders who are entitled to demand and have properly and validly demanded their appraisal rights under Delaware law, will be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive (i) $14.00 per share in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes (the “Cash Consideration”), plus (ii) one contingent value right per share (each, a “CVR”), representing the right to receive one contingent payment of $2.75, in cash, without interest, upon the achievement of the milestone set forth in, and subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the CVR Agreement (as defined below) (the Cash Consideration plus one CVR, collectively, the “Merger Consideration”), subject to any applicable withholding taxes.

At the Effective Time, each share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be redeemed and converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of LENSAR, Inc., dated as of May 18, 2023), without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes.

In addition, at the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Options”) will be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to (A) the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Options as of the Effective Time, by (y) the excess, if any, of the Cash Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Company Options, less (B) any applicable withholding taxes, plus (ii) one CVR with respect to each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, if the exercise price payable in respect of a share of Company Common Stock underlying a Company Option equals or exceeds the Cash Consideration, such Company Option shall be canceled for no consideration.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock units covering shares of Company Common Stock (“Company RSU Award”) will be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the (A) the product of (x) the Cash Consideration and (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award as of the Effective Time, less (B) any applicable withholding taxes, plus (ii) one CVR with respect to each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU as of the Effective Time.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company performance stock unit (each a “Company PSU Award”) will be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) an amount in cash (without interest) equal to (A) the product of (x) the Cash Consideration and (y) the target number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU Award as of the Effective Time, less (B) any applicable withholding taxes, plus (ii) one CVR with respect to each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU Award as of the Effective Time based on the target number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU Award as of the Effective Time.

In addition, all warrants to purchase Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (“Warrants”) shall be adjusted and treated in accordance with the terms of such Warrant in connection with a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the applicable Warrant).

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants obligating the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its operations according to its ordinary course of business consistent with past practice prior to the completion of the Merger and to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in seeking regulatory approvals and not to engage in certain specified activities without Parent’s prior consent. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Company has agreed not to initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate, or take any other action designed to lead to, any inquiries or the making or submission of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or take certain other restricted actions in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives a written, bona fide Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of the non-solicitation provisions of the Merger Agreement that the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company may take certain actions to participate in discussions and negotiations and furnish information with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, after providing written notice to Parent of such determination, in each case, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to prepare and file a proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, subject to certain exceptions, the Board will recommend that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement be adopted by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Company Board Recommendation”). However, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, the Company and the Board, as applicable, are permitted to take certain actions which may, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement, include changing the Company Board Recommendation and entering into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal if, among other things, the Board has concluded in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable law.

The Merger Agreement also contains certain customary termination rights in favor of each of the Company and Parent, including the Company’s right, subject to certain limitations, to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances to accept a Superior Proposal and Parent’s right to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Board changes its Company Board Recommendation. In addition, either Parent or the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement if (i) the Merger has not been successfully completed by April 23, 2026, subject to an extension under certain circumstances solely at the election of Parent to July 23, 2026 (the “Termination Date”); (ii) a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a final non-appealable governmental order prohibiting the Merger, (iii) the Company’s stockholders fail to adopt the Merger Agreement, and (iv) the other party breaches its representations, warranties or covenants in the Merger Agreement, subject in certain cases, to materiality qualifiers or the right of the breaching party to cure the breach. Parent and the Company may also terminate the Merger Agreement by mutual written consent. The Company may also terminate the Merger Agreement if Parent declines to defend against any litigation or administrative proceeding brought by any governmental entity that would have the effect of enjoining consummation of the Merger Agreements under any competition law (provided, that the Company may not terminate pursuant to this right until a date that is on or after January 23, 2026) (the “Defense Termination Right”).

In connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including due to a change in the Company Board Recommendation, the entry by the Company into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, or certain other triggering events set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company may be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $8,500,000.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, within five business days following the execution of the Merger Agreement, Parent will deposit $10,000,000 into a segregated account (the “Deposit”). In connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement under other specified circumstances, including if Parent breaches is obligations such that the Company is entitled to terminate the Merger Agreement, the Defense Termination Right, or the Merger has not been successfully completed by the Termination Date, a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a final non-appealable governmental order prohibiting the Merger, and, at the time of such termination, the

only remaining conditions to closing relate to certain regulatory approvals, the Company will be permitted to keep the Deposit. If the Merger Agreement is terminated for any other purpose, the Company shall refund the Deposit to Parent.

At or prior to the consummation of the Merger, Parent and a rights agent mutually agreeable to Parent and the Company will enter into a contingent value rights agreement (the “CVR Agreement”), a form of which is attached to the Merger Agreement, governing the terms of the CVRs. Each CVR entitles the holder thereof to receive a contingent payment of $2.75 in cash, subject to any applicable withholding taxes and without interest thereon, if the Company achieves 614,000 cumulative Milestone Procedures (as defined in the CVR Agreement) (such achievement, the “Milestone”) during the period from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. The foregoing description of the CVR Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the CVR Agreement, a form of which is included as an exhibit to the Merger Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and which is incorporated by reference herein.

The Board has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (iii) resolved, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, to recommend approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby by the stockholders of the Company, and (iv) directed the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for consideration in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is hereby filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement and the foregoing description thereof have been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only as of specified dates for the purposes of such agreement, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by such parties. In particular, in reviewing the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement and discussed in the foregoing description, it is important to bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants were negotiated with the principal purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Such representations, warranties and covenants may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC, and are also qualified in important part by a confidential disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent in connection with the Merger Agreement. Investors and stockholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, investors and stockholders should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances described therein. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the parties’ public disclosures.

Item 7.01

A copy of the Voting Agreement is included in this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The summary description of the terms of the Voting Agreement in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 99.2.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this press release that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the potential transaction between LENSAR and Alcon. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “approach,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “look,” “may,” “mission,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “pursue,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or the negative thereof and similar words and expressions.

Forward-looking statements are based on LENSAR’s management’s current expectations, beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us. Such statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

The following factors could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: (i) the proposed Merger may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect LENSAR or the expected benefits of the proposed Merger or that

the approval of LENSAR’s stockholders is not obtained; (ii) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Merger; (iii) the possibility that competing offers or acquisition proposals for LENSAR will be made; (iv) the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of the Merger may not be satisfied or waived, including the failure to receive any required regulatory approvals from any applicable governmental entities (or any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on such approvals); (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger, including in circumstances which would require LENSAR to pay a termination fee or other expenses; (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Merger on LENSAR’s ability to retain and hire key personnel, or its operating results and business generally, (vii) there may be liabilities related to the Merger that are not known, probable or estimable at this time or unexpected costs, charges or expenses; (viii) the Merger may result in the diversion of management’s time and attention to issues relating to the Merger; (ix) there may be significant transaction costs in connection with the Merger; (x) legal proceedings may be instituted against LENSAR following the announcement of the Merger, which may have an unfavorable outcome; and (xi) LENSAR’s stock price may decline significantly if the Merger is not consummated. In addition, a number of other important factors could cause LENSAR’s actual future results and other future circumstances to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, including but not limited to those important factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in LENSAR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as such factors may be updated from time to time in LENSAR’s other filings with the SEC, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Investor Relations section of LENSAR’s website at https://ir.lensar.com.

All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by such factors. Except as required by law, LENSAR does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether because of new information, future developments or otherwise. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing LENSAR’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report.

Additional Information

This Current Report may be deemed solicitation material in respect of the proposed acquisition of LENSAR. A special stockholder meeting will be announced soon to obtain stockholder approval in connection with the proposed Merger between LENSAR and Parent. LENSAR expects to file with the SEC a proxy statement and other relevant documents in connection with the proposed Merger. Investors of LENSAR are urged to read the definitive proxy statement and other relevant materials carefully and in their entirety when they become available because they will contain important information about LENSAR and the proposed Merger. Investors may obtain a free copy of these materials (when they are available) and other documents filed by LENSAR with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, at the Company’s website at https://ir.lensar.com/financials/sec-filings.

Participants in the Solicitation

LENSAR and its directors, executive officers and certain other members of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in soliciting proxies from its stockholders in connection with the proposed Merger. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be considered to be participants in the solicitation of LENSAR’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Merger will be set forth in LENSAR’s definitive proxy statement for its special stockholder meeting.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

2.1 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock.

(a) Treatment of Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent or Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock:

(i) each share of Company Common Stock (excluding (A) any Canceled Shares, which shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii) and (B) any Dissenting Shares, which shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iv)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time:

(1) shall be converted into the right to receive, subject to Section 2.8, (A) $14.00 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration”) and (B) one (1) contingent value right (each, a “CVR”) representing the right to receive one (1) contingent payment, in cash of $2.75, without interest, upon the achievement of the milestone set forth in, and subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the CVR Agreement (as defined below) (the Cash Consideration plus (B) one (1) CVR, collectively, the “Merger Consideration”) and subject to any withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 2.15; and

(2) all shares of Company Common Stock, other than the Canceled Shares and Dissenting Shares, shall cease to be issued and outstanding, shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a valid certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (a “Certificate”) or evidenced by way of book-entry in the register of stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Book-entry Shares”), shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration;

(ii) each issued and outstanding share of stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation; and

(iii) each share of Company Common Stock that is (i) held by the Company (including any such shares held in the treasury of the Company), and (ii) held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or the Company, in each case, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Canceled Shares”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, be canceled without payment or any consideration therefor and cease to exist.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder (or owned by a beneficial owner) who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Company Common Stock, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and shall instead represent the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder or beneficial owner fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses his, her or its right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or other applicable Law, then the right of such holder or beneficial owner to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into and shall be exchangeable solely for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 2.15. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and to control all negotiations and actions with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment (unless required by Law) with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(b) Treatment of Preferred Stock. In connection with the Merger, simultaneously with the Effective Time (but subject thereto):

(ii) all shares of Series A Preferred Stock so redeemed shall cease to be issued and outstanding, shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate that immediately prior to such redemption represented shares of Series A Preferred Stock so redeemed shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, except the right to receive the Fundamental Transaction Redemption Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations).

2.2 Treatment of Company Options. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall assume any Company Option or substitute for any Company Option any similar award for capital stock of Parent in connection with the Merger and any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto,

whether vested or unvested, shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Company Option be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) a cash payment (without interest) at the Effective Time equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of (1) the Cash Consideration over (2) the per share exercise price of such Company Option, and (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of the Effective Time (the “Option Closing Consideration”), plus (ii) one CVR with respect to each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of the Effective Time (clauses (i) and (ii), the “Option Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all Company Options shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Option Consideration.

2.3 Treatment of Company RSU Awards. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall assume any Company RSU Award or substitute for any Company RSU Award any similar award for capital stock of Parent in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the Effective Time, each Company RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Company RSU Award be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) a cash payment (without interest) at the Effective Time equal to the product of (A) the Cash Consideration and (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award as of the Effective Time (the “RSU Closing Consideration”), plus (ii) one CVR with respect to each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award as of the Effective Time (clauses (i) and (ii), the “RSU Consideration”); provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment in respect of any Company RSU Award which immediately prior to such cancelation is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made on the applicable settlement date(s) for such Company RSU Award if required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

2.4 Treatment of Company PSU Awards. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall assume any Company PSU Award or substitute for any Company PSU Award any similar award for capital stock of Parent in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the Effective Time, each Company PSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Company PSU Award be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) a cash payment (without interest) at the Effective Time equal to the product of (A) the Cash Consideration and (B) the target number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU Award as of the Effective Time (the “PSU Closing Consideration” and together with the Option Closing Consideration and the RSU Closing Consideration, the “Equity Award Closing Consideration”), plus (ii) one CVR with respect to each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU Award as of the Effective Time based on the target number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU Award as of the Effective Time (clauses (i) and (ii), the “PSU Consideration” and together with the Option Consideration and the RSU Consideration, the “Equity Award Consideration”); provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment in respect of any Company PSU Award which immediately prior to such cancelation is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made on the applicable settlement date(s) for such Company PSU Award if required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

2.5 Treatment of Company Warrants. All warrants to purchase Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (“Warrants”) shall be adjusted and treated in accordance with the terms of such Warrant in connection with a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the applicable Warrant) (the “Warrant Consideration”).

2.6 Method of Payment(a) .

(a) Any Equity Award Closing Consideration to which any Company Equity Award Holder becomes entitled pursuant to Section 2.2, Section 2.3, or Section 2.4, together with the employer portion of any payroll Taxes on such payment, less any Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld in accordance with Section 2.15, shall be paid through the payroll system or accounts payable system (“Payroll System”) of the Surviving Corporation as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date); provided, however, that any Equity Award Closing Consideration to which any Non-Employee Company Equity Award Holder becomes entitled pursuant to Section 2.2, Section 2.3, or Section 2.4 may, at the option of the Surviving Corporation, be paid by the Paying Agent instead of the Surviving Corporation, which payments by the Paying Agent to any such Non-Employee Company Equity Award Holder shall be paid as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time (and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date). Any Preferred Stock Consideration to which any person becomes entitled pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation (or, at the option of the Surviving Corporation, by the Paying Agent) in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. Any Warrant Consideration to which any person becomes entitled pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation (or, at the option of the Surviving Corporation, by the Paying Agent) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Warrant. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent to, make the payments described in this Section 2.6, including paying by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent the amounts payable hereunder.

(b) With respect to the Company Equity Award Milestone Payments payable to Company Equity Award Holders (other than any Non-Employee Company Equity Award Holder that the Surviving Corporation has elected to have paid by the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 2.3(b) of the CVR Agreement), Parent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the delivery of the Milestone Notice (but in any event no later than the next regularly scheduled payroll date that is not less than ten (10) Business Days after delivering such Milestone Notice to the Rights Agent), pay, or cause the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof to pay through Parent’s, the Surviving Corporation’s or such Affiliate’s Payroll System, the applicable Company Equity Award Milestone Payment payable to each such Company Equity Award Holder in accordance with Section 2.2, Section 2.3, or Section 2.4, less any Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld in accordance with Section 2.15; provided that any Company Equity Award Milestone Payment that becomes payable pursuant to the CVR Agreement will be paid no later than March 15^th of the Calendar Year following the Calendar Year in which the Milestone is determined to be achieved. Each Company Equity Award Milestone Payment is intended to constitute a payment within the “short-term deferral” period following the lapse of a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (as such terms are defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code) and shall be paid in compliance therewith or under an alternative exemption from Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties intend that each Company Equity Award CVR is exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement and the CVR Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in accordance therewith. None of the parties to this Agreement nor the CVR Agreement nor any of their employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to any holder of Company Equity Awards or transferee or other Person in respect of Section 409A of the Code. The terms of the CVRs to be issued to any holder of Company Equity Awards pursuant to Section 2.2, Section 2.3, or Section 2.4 and the circumstances in which any payment is made in respect thereof, shall be governed solely by the CVR Agreement and this Section 2.6.

2.7 No Right to Equity under Awards. The parties agree that following the Effective Time, no holder of a Company Equity Award shall have any right to acquire any equity interest (including any “phantom” stock or stock appreciation rights) in the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

2.8 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that the Company changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, at any time during the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration and other similarly dependent items (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Equity Award Consideration, the Preferred Stock Consideration and the Warrant Consideration) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such transaction so as to provide the holders of Company Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Warrants and Company Equity Awards with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement and the CVR Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.8 shall be construed as permitting the Company to take any action or enter into any transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

2.9 Paying Agent. Concurrently with the Effective Time, (i) Parent shall deposit with Computershare Limited or such other bank or trust company as Parent shall determine and who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Paying Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with Section 2.10, immediately available funds equal to the aggregate Cash Consideration minus the Deposit minus the Equity Award Closing Consideration to be paid by the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 2.6, (ii) the Company shall release the Deposit and deposit it with the Paying Agent to be held in trust for the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with Section 2.10, and (iii) Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent to timely pay the Merger Consideration (other than the Equity Award Closing Consideration to be paid by the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 2.6) subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10. Any cash deposited with the Paying Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” Any amounts payable in respect of Company Equity Awards held by Non-Employee Company Equity Award Holders, the Series A Preferred Stock or the Warrants to be paid by the Paying Agent at the election of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be deposited with the Paying Agent and be paid in accordance with Section 2.6. Any portion of the Exchange Fund made available to the Paying Agent to pay for shares of Company Common Stock that have become Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent upon demand. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of any Milestone Payment (as such term is defined in the CVR Agreement) and the payment procedures with respect thereto shall be governed by the terms of the CVR Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not be required to deposit any funds related to any CVR with the Rights Agent unless and until such deposit is required pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement.

2.10 Exchange Procedures.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall send to each record holder of a Certificate or holder of Book-entry Shares, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates, if applicable, shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall be in a form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. As soon as reasonably

practicable after the Effective Time, each holder of Company Common Stock, (x) upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate in lieu of a Certificate, as provided in Section 2.14) to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent; (y) upon the transfer of shares of Company Common Stock that are Book-entry Shares not held through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), in accordance with the terms of the letter of transmittal and accompanying instructions (including such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent); or (z) upon the transfer of shares of Company Common Stock that are Book-entry Shares held through DTC, including by delivery of an “agent’s message,” in accordance with DTC’s procedures and such other procedures as agreed by Parent, the Paying Agent and DTC, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Canceled Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver in exchange thereof as promptly as practicable, the amount of cash into which the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates upon compliance by the respective holders thereof with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices.

(b) No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable pursuant to Section 2.10(a). Any Certificate that has been surrendered shall be canceled by the Paying Agent.

(c) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check in the proper amount of cash pursuant to Section 2.1 may be issued with respect to such Company Common Stock to such a transferee only if (i) in the case of Book-entry Shares, written instructions authorizing the transfer of Book-entry Shares are presented to the Paying Agent, and (ii) in the case of Certificates, the Certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Paying Agent, and in each case, together with all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid.

2.11 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. All cash paid upon conversion of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Section 2.1 shall be deemed to have been issued or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock.

2.12 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates for six months after the Effective Time shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation, or otherwise on the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of Certificates who have not theretofore complied with Section 2.10 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.10, without interest. If, immediately prior to such time on which any payment in respect hereof would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, any holder of Certificates or Book-entry Shares has not complied with the procedures in Section 2.10 to receive payment of the Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, the payment in respect of such Certificates or Book-entry Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-entry Shares for Merger Consideration delivered to a Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

2.13 Investment of Exchange Fund. Any funds included in the Exchange Fund may be invested by the Paying Agent, as directed by Parent; provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall promptly be paid to Parent.

2.14 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, or other documentation (including an indemnity in customary form) reasonably requested by Parent, the Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

2.15 Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Company and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement or the CVR Agreement to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the applicable Treasury Regulations, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any applicable provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and timely paid over to the relevant Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the CVR Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

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

2.17 Stock Transfer Books. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock formerly represented thereby, except as otherwise provided herein or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Paying Agent or Parent for any reason shall be converted into the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock formerly represented thereby.

2.18 Treatment of Company ESPP. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions with respect to the Company ESPP that are necessary or desirable to provide that, subject to the consummation of the Merger, the Company ESPP shall terminate effective immediately prior to the Effective Time. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board (or, if

applicable, any subcommittee thereof administering the Company ESPP) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other necessary actions such that with respect to the offering period(s) under the Company ESPP that would otherwise be in effect on the Closing Date (notwithstanding this Section 2.18), such offering period(s) shall terminate and each then-outstanding rights to purchase Company Common Stock under the Company ESPP shall be exercised no later than four (4) Business Days prior to the Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company may, in its discretion, suspend or terminate any current or future offering periods under the Company ESPP as it deems advisable prior to the Effective Time.

5.2 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) The Company agrees that, except as expressly permitted in this Section 5.2, the Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, controlled Affiliates, authorized agents and other authorized representatives (the “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information), or take any other action designed to lead to, any inquiries or the making or submission of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or disclose any non-public information or data relating to the Company or afford access to the properties, books or records of the Company to any Person that has made an Acquisition Proposal or to any Person for the purpose of soliciting or knowingly encouraging or facilitating an Acquisition Proposal (except to notify any Person of the provisions of this Section 5.2), (iii) accept an Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in circumstances contemplated in the next sentence), including any letter of intent or agreement in principle, providing for or relating to an Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement, including any letter of intent or agreement in principle, that would require, or would have the effect of causing, the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) amend or grant any waiver, release or modification under, or fail to enforce, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company (except to the extent necessary to comply with fiduciary duties under applicable Law), or (v) resolve to do any of the foregoing. Any intentional violation of this Section 5.2 (including the foregoing restrictions) by any Representatives of the Company acting as such at the direction of the Company, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and the Company Board may take any actions described in clause (ii) of this Section 5.2(a) with respect to a third party if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote (A) the Company receives an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal from such third party that the Company

Board believes in good faith is bona fide, (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal, and (C) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that the failure to participate in such negotiations or discussions or to furnish such information or data to such third party would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, provided that (1) such Acquisition Proposal was received after the date of this Agreement, such Acquisition Proposal was not initiated, solicited, encouraged or facilitated in violation of this Section 5.2(a) and such Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn, (2) the Company provides to Parent the notice required by Section 5.2(c)(iii) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, (3) prior to or substantially concurrently with providing or making available to such other Person any non-public information about the Company that was not previously provided or made available to Parent, the Company will provide such non-public information to Parent, and (4) the Company shall not deliver any information to such third party without entering into a confidentiality agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) on terms no less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that the Company may enter into a confidentiality agreement without a standstill provision), a copy of which shall be promptly provided or made available to Parent. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company and its Representatives may (y) participate in discussions in order to seek to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of any inquiry or proposal made by any Person solely to determine whether such inquiry or proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and (z) inform a Person that has made or is considering making an Acquisition Proposal of the provisions of this Section 5.2. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Rule 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any similar disclosure, in either case to the extent required by applicable Law.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2(c), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall directly or indirectly (i) (A) withhold, withdraw, modify, qualify or fail to make, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, modify, qualify or fail to make, in any manner adverse to Parent, the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board or any such committee thereof of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (B) publicly recommend, adopt or approve, or propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, or allow the Company to execute or enter into, any agreement, including any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement, arrangement or understanding, (A) constituting or related to, or that is intended to or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement permitted pursuant to Section 5.2(a)) (each an “Acquisition Agreement”) or (B) requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) approve any transaction under, or any third party becoming an “interested stockholder” under, Section 203 of the DGCL, or (iv) resolve, propose, agree or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing (any action described in this Section 5.2(b) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”). For the avoidance of doubt, a public statement that merely describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(c) If the Company (A) receives an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board believes in good faith is bona fide and such Acquisition Proposal was not initiated, solicited, encouraged or facilitated in violation of Section 5.2(a) or (B) an Intervening Event occurs, and in connection with clause (A) or clause (B), the Company Board (x) after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, concludes that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (y) following

consultation with outside legal counsel, determines that the failure of the Company Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company Board may at any time prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, effect an Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, that the Company Board may not take such action pursuant to the foregoing unless:

(i) the Company has provided prior notice (which notice must state that the Company Board has made the determinations described in, and in accordance with, the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) of Section 5.2(c)) to Parent specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such action and the facts and circumstances that render such action necessary (including, without limitation, a description of the material terms of such Superior Proposal, identifying the Person or group making such Superior Proposal and delivering to Parent a copy of the proposed definitive agreement providing for such Superior Proposal in the form to be entered into and any other relevant proposed transaction agreements, or a detailed written description of such Intervening Event) at least four (4) Business Days in advance of its intention to take such action with respect to an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) (the period inclusive of all such days, the “Section 5.2(c) Notice Period”) (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the financial terms of a Superior Proposal (including any change to the amount or form of consideration payable) or other material revision to the material terms or condition of such Superior Proposal, or any material development with respect to the Intervening Event, shall require a new notice pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) and a new Section 5.2(c) Notice Period, except that such new Section 5.2(c) Notice Period in connection with any amendment shall be for three (3) Business Days from the time Parent receives such notice (as opposed to four (4) Business Days));

(ii) during the Section 5.2(c) Notice Period, the Company has negotiated with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would not permit the Company Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 5.2(c) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii); and

(iii) at the end of the Section 5.2(c) Notice Period, the Company Board again concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, and taking into account any adjustment or modification to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent, that (A) with respect to a Superior Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure of the Company Board to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (B) with respect to an Intervening Event, that the failure of the Company Board to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(d) The Company agrees that in addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.2, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof (but in no event more than the later of 24 hours after the Company’s receipt thereof), the Company shall advise Parent in writing of any Acquisition Proposal received from any Person, or any request for information or inquiry, discussions or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and the terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, discussions or negotiations, and the Company shall promptly provide to Parent copies of any written materials received by the Company in connection with any of the foregoing, and the identity of the Person or group making any such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry or with whom any discussions or negotiations are taking place. The Company agrees that it shall substantially concurrently (and no later than one (1) Business Day) provide or make available to Parent any material non-public information concerning the Company provided to any other Person or group in

connection with any Acquisition Proposal which was not previously provided to Parent. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt basis of the status of any Acquisition Proposal (including the identity of the parties and price involved and any changes to any terms and conditions thereof). Except to the extent required by applicable Law, the Company agrees not to release any third party from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which the Company is a party (except to the extent necessary to comply with fiduciary duties under applicable Law) and will use its best efforts to enforce any such agreement at the request of or on behalf of Parent, including initiating and prosecuting litigation seeking appropriate equitable relief (where available) and, to the extent applicable, damages. For the avoidance of doubt, all information provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 5.2(d) will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(e) The Company will and will cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub and Parent’s Representatives) conducted on or prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (which, for this purpose, need not have been an unsolicited proposal) and shall promptly request that each Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub and Parent’s Representatives) that executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect to any Acquisition Proposal on or prior to the date of this Agreement and is in possession of confidential information about the Company, return or destroy all such confidential information in accordance with the terms of the confidentiality agreement with such Person.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any proposal, whether or not in writing, for the (i) direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of a business or assets that (in the aggregate) constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or the assets (based on the fair market value thereof) of the Company, (ii) direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 20% or more of any class of Capital Stock of the Company, or (iii) merger, consolidation, restructuring, transfer of assets or other business combination, sale of shares of Capital Stock, partnership or other equity interest, tender offer, exchange offer, recapitalization, stock repurchase program or other similar transaction or series of transactions that if consummated would result in any Person or Persons beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of Capital Stock of, or any partnership or other equity interest in, the Company, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The term “Superior Proposal” shall mean a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (except the references therein to “20% or more” shall be replaced by “more than 50%”), made by a Third Party which, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel), taking into account such factors as the Company Board considers in good faith to be appropriate (including the conditionality, timing and likelihood of consummation of, and the Person or group making, such proposals), (a) is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms and (b) if consummated, would result in a transaction that is more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders than the Merger, taking into account all financial terms and conditions of such transaction. The term “Intervening Event” shall mean any change, occurrence, effect, event, circumstance or development that (i) was not known to the Company Board prior to the date of this Agreement or, if known, the material consequences of which were not reasonably foreseeable by the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) does not relate to any of the following: (A) an Acquisition Proposal, (B) changes in the Company Common Stock price, in and of itself, or (C) the fact that, in and of itself, the Company exceeds any internal or published projections, estimates or expectations of the Company’s revenue, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations for any period, in and of itself.

5.3 Access to Information and Properties.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, the Company shall (i) afford to the authorized Representatives of Parent reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII and the Effective Time, to all of its properties, contracts, books, commitments, records, data and personnel and, (ii) during such period, make available to Parent all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request and, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), for any reasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) provide a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed, published, announced or received by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement during such period pursuant to the requirements of applicable Laws (including pursuant to the HSR Act, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules of any Governmental Entity thereunder), as applicable, including all information necessary to prepare the Proxy Statement; provided, however, that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (A) any applicable Law requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information, (B) granting access to such documents or information would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information or (C) such documents or information relate to the evaluation or negotiation of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or, subject to Section 5.2, an Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal. If the restrictions of the proviso of the preceding sentence apply, the Company and Parent shall cooperate in seeking to find a way to allow disclosure of such information (including by entering into a joint-defense or similar agreement) to the extent doing so (1) would not (in the good faith belief of the party being requested to disclose the information (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel)) be reasonably likely to result in the violation of any such contract or Law or be reasonably likely to cause such privilege to be undermined with respect to such information or (2) could reasonably (in the good faith belief of the party being requested to disclose the information (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel)) be managed through the use of customary “clean-room” arrangements pursuant to which nonemployee Representatives of Parent shall be provided access to such information; provided, further, that the party being requested to disclose the information shall (x) notify the other parties that such disclosures are reasonably likely to violate its obligations under any such contract or Law or are reasonably likely to cause such privilege to be undermined, (y) communicate to the other parties in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such notification and the subject matter of such information (to the extent it is able to do so in accordance with this Section 5.3(a)) and (z) in the case where such disclosures are reasonably likely to violate its obligations under any contract, use reasonable commercial efforts to seek consent from the applicable third party to any such contract with respect to the disclosures prohibited thereby (to the extent not otherwise expressly prohibited by the terms of such contract).

(b) From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, Parent and its authorized Representatives, including engineers, advisors and consultants, lenders and financing sources, upon reasonable notice and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the business of the Company may enter into and upon all or any portion of the real property owned or leased by the Company in order to investigate and assess, as Parent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate, the environmental condition of such real property and the other assets or the businesses of the Company (an “Investigation”). An Investigation may include a Phase I environmental site assessment, or similar investigation and sampling or testing of air, soil, sediments, and/or ground or surface waters at, on or under any real property. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with the other parties (at Parent’s expense) in conducting any such Investigation, facilitating further testing or evaluation as may be reasonably prudent with respect to the Investigation, allow any other party reasonable access to the Company’s business, real property and other assets, together with reasonable permission to conduct any such Investigation, and provide to any other party all material plans, soil or surface or ground water tests or reports, any environmental investigation results, reports or assessments previously or contemporaneously conducted or prepared by or on behalf of the Company or any of its predecessors, and all material information relating to environmental matters regarding the Company’s businesses, real property and other assets that are in the possession of the Company. Parent shall conduct the Investigation in a manner that complies with Environmental Law and shall coordinate with the Company so as to conduct the Investigation in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the Company’s operations on the Leased Real Property.

(c) Parent will hold any information contemplated under Section 5.3(a) and/or Section 5.3(b) in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that each party’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date provided therein or (ii) the Effective Time.

(d) No Investigation by Parent or its respective Representatives shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the other set forth in this Agreement.

5.4 Further Action; Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its 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 Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing and filing as promptly as practicable with any Governmental Entity or other third party all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents and obtaining and maintaining all approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations required to be obtained from any Governmental Entity or other third party that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto understand and agree that the reasonable best efforts of Parent or Company shall not be deemed to include (x) entering into any settlement, undertaking, consent decree, stipulation or agreement with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that would limit Parent’s right or ability to exercise any rights of ownership of any securities or business of Parent, the Company, the surviving corporation, or any of their respective affiliates or (y) divesting or otherwise holding separate (including by establishing a trust or otherwise), or taking any other action (or otherwise agreeing to do any of the foregoing) with respect to any of its or the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ businesses, assets or properties. Each party agrees to make an appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable and advisable after the date hereof and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Entity any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. Parent shall pay all filing fees and other charges for the filings required under the HSR Act by the Company and Parent. If a party receives a request for information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including but not limited to a Second Request for Information under the HSR Act, then such party shall in good faith make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, a response which is, at a minimum, in substantial compliance with such request. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event either party receives a letter from any Governmental Entity, stating that although the waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will soon expire, the Governmental Entity has not yet completed any purported investigation of the proposed transaction (a “Pre-Consummation Warning Letter”), the parties hereto agree that the receipt by either or both of them of a Pre-Consummation Warning Letter or other verbal or written communications from the Governmental Entity to the same effect shall not be a basis for asserting that any condition to closing under this Agreement has not been satisfied. The provisions of this Section 5.4(a) shall be subject in all respects to the termination rights in Section 7.1(b) of this Agreement.

(b) All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf of either party before any Governmental Entity or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Entity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions between the Company and Governmental Entities in the ordinary course of business, any disclosure which is not permitted by law or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall be disclosed to the other party hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments and proposals. Each party shall give notice to the other party with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Entity or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Entity, and, unless prohibited by the Governmental Entity, provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall, after consulting with the Company and considering in good faith the Company’s views, (i) direct and control all aspects of the parties’ efforts to gain regulatory clearance before any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including any timing agreements, understandings or commitments entered into with or made to any Governmental Entity, and (ii) take the lead in communicating with regulators and control the overall development of the positions to be taken and the regulatory actions to be requested in any filing or submission with a Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry or litigation by or before, or any negotiations with, a Governmental Entity with respect thereto.

(c) If Parent is required by law or regulation to file, or Parent and the Company otherwise jointly determine to file, or CFIUS requests that Parent and the Company file, a joint voluntary notice pursuant to the DPA with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall (i) jointly submit, as promptly as practicable and in accordance with the requirements of the DPA, a draft notice to CFIUS with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) jointly submit, as promptly as practicable after receipt of confirmation that CFIUS has no further comment on the draft notice, a notice of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the DPA (the “Formal CFIUS Notice”), (iii) respond fully, appropriately and on a timely basis to any request for information from CFIUS throughout the CFIUS process and in accordance with the DPA and (iv) use (and cause their respective Affiliates to use) their reasonable best efforts to obtain CFIUS Clearance.

(d) The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate, subject to a customary joint defense agreement, in, the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company or its directors or officers relating to the Merger or any other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s consent.

5.5 Proxy Statement; Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) The Company shall prepare and file the Proxy Statement in preliminary form with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof (and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date hereof). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to clear the preliminary Proxy Statement with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable after filing. The Company will advise Parent promptly after receipt of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC or its staff for additional information. The Company will promptly provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence between the Company (or its Representatives) and the SEC (or its staff) regarding the Proxy Statement or the Merger. If the Company (i) does not receive comments from the SEC with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement, the Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be filed with the SEC in definitive form and to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the ten-day waiting period provided in Rule 14a-6(a) under

the Exchange Act, or (ii) does receive comments from the SEC with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement, the Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be filed with the SEC in definitive form and to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable following clearance by the SEC with respect to such comments. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting there shall occur any event that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare, file with the SEC and mail to its stockholders such an amendment or supplement, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.5, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC (or its staff) with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent an opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments on such document(s) or response reasonably proposed by Parent or its Representatives). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement at the date that it (and any amendment or supplement thereto) is first published, sent, or given to the Company’s stockholders and at the time of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish the Company with all information about Parent and Merger Sub reasonably requested by the Company and required pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Proxy Statement.

(c) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agrees to promptly (i) correct any information provided by it specifically for use in the Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information will have become false or misleading in any material respect and (ii) supplement the information provided by it specifically for use in the Proxy Statement to include any information that will become necessary in order to make the statements in the Proxy Statement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company further agrees to cause the Proxy Statement as so corrected or supplemented promptly to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law.

(d) The Company, acting through the Company Board, shall, in accordance with its certificate of incorporation and bylaws and with applicable Law, promptly and duly call, give notice of, convene and hold, as soon as practicable following the date on which the definitive Proxy Statement is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders, the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, and shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2(c), (i) recommend adoption of this Agreement, and include in the Proxy Statement such recommendation and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to solicit and obtain such adoption or approval. Notwithstanding any Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.2(c), unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting for the purpose of adopting this Agreement.

In the event of an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.2(c), the Company shall submit this Agreement to its stockholders and, provided the Company Board has complied with Section

5.2(c), may do so without a recommendation or with a negative recommendation (although the approval of this Agreement by the Company Board may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the Company Board may, subject to Section 5.2(c), communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation or negative recommendation to its stockholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees that unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, the Company shall not submit any Acquisition Proposal (including any Superior Proposal) to a vote of Company’s stockholders.

5.6 Notification of Certain Matters.

Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent would reasonably be expected to be material to the Company or Parent or (b) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party and that relate to the Merger; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

5.7 Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance and Indemnification.

(a) After the Effective Time, and subject to Section 5.7(b), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company in such capacities (“Indemnified Parties”) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law against any losses, damages, reasonable and documented expenses or liabilities resulting from any claim, liability, loss, damage, cost or expense, asserted against, or incurred by, an Indemnified Party that is based on the fact that such Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and arising out of actions or omissions or alleged actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company.

(b) After the Effective Time, in the event any Indemnified Party becomes involved in any capacity in any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, any matter, including the transactions contemplated hereby, existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to them after consultation with Parent; provided, however, that (i) the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties and upon such assumption Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that if the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense or counsel for such Indemnified Party reasonably advises that there are issues that raise conflicts of interest between Parent or the Surviving Corporation, and such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to him/her after consultation with the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) as promptly as practicable pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for such Indemnified Party, (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall in all cases be obligated pursuant to this Section 5.7(b) to pay for only one firm of primary counsel and one firm of local counsel for all Indemnified Parties (selected by a plurality of the Indemnified Parties), (iii) Parent and Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement

effected without their prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (iv) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final and nonappealable, that indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.7, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall notify promptly the Surviving Corporation thereof, provided that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.7 except to the extent such failure to notify prejudices such Parent or the Surviving Corporation. Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 5.7 shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim (a “Claim”) asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Claim.

(c) No Indemnified Party shall settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the Surviving Corporation, nor shall the Surviving Corporation (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle any Claim without either (i) the written consent of all Indemnified Parties against whom such Claim was made (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld), or (ii) obtaining an unconditional general release from the party making the Claim for all Indemnified Parties as a condition of such settlement. The provisions of this Section 5.7 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the respective Indemnified Parties.

For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or similar organization documents in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or in any indemnification agreements of the Company with any of its directors, officers or employees in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who immediately before the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or asserted within such period shall continue until the disposition or resolution of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(e) On or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering the six-year period from and after the Effective Time for the Company and its current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company from a carrier with the same or better credit rating to the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier on terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, except that in no event shall the Company pay (or become obligated to pay) with respect to such “tail” policy more than 300% of the aggregate annual premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance. The Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain the “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time.

The press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint release of, and shall not be issued prior to the approval of each of, the Company and Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

5.9 Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall pay a pro-rated annual bonus under the applicable bonus plans of the Company in respect of the portion of the fiscal year that occurs prior to the Closing Date to each eligible employee of the Company based the greater of (i) on target level performance through the Closing Date or (ii) actual level of performance through the Closing Date (based on prorated corporate performance objectives) as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the Closing Date, which payment will be made within five (5) days before the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who continues his or her employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates following the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) will be subject to the applicable bonus plans of Parent or its Affiliates for the remainder of the fiscal year, subject to Section 5.9(b).

(b) For the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which employment of any Continuing Employee terminates, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates shall provide each Continuing Employee with (A) an annual base salary or wage rate and annual cash bonus opportunities that are no less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates, and (B) employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits (excluding for any such purposes any post-employment welfare benefits, defined benefit pension and post-retirement medical benefits, equity-based compensation, severance benefits, or transaction, retention or other special, non-recurring compensation) provided to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates.

(c) Parent agrees that each Continuing Employee shall, as of the Effective Time, receive credit for service with the Company prior to the Effective Time for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accrual under the employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates in which such Continuing Employee becomes a participant (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any defined benefit pension plan, supplemental retirement plan (and, for the avoidance of doubt, a supplemental retirement plan shall not include a 401(k) plan), employer subsidized retiree welfare benefits, frozen employee benefit plan or grandfathered employee benefit plan); provided, however, that nothing herein shall result in the duplication of any benefits for the same period of service. With respect to each health or welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates for the benefit of Continuing Employees (including any medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefit plans), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements or required physical examinations, actively-at-work requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under such plan to the extent such were waived or satisfied under the comparable health or welfare benefit plan of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) cause each Continuing Employee to be given credit under any such plans for all amounts paid (or otherwise deemed paid) by such Continuing Employee under any similar Benefit Plan for the plan year that includes the Effective Time for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plans maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(d) If requested by Parent in writing no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall terminate, effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, any and all Benefit Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each, a “Company 401(k) Plan”). No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that the Company has taken action to terminate each Company 401(k) Plan (effective as of immediately prior to the Closing) pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board, as the case may be. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the Company terminates each Company 401(k) Plan at the written direction of Parent as described in the immediately preceding sentence, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, cause a Code Section 401(k) arrangement sponsored or maintained by Parent or any such Subsidiary or Affiliate (each, a “Parent 401(k) Plan”) to permit each Continuing Employee participating in such a terminated Company 401(k) Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing Date to elect to rollover his or her account balances in such Company 401(k) Plan (including earnings through the date of transfer and promissory notes evidencing all outstanding loans)) to an applicable Parent 401(k) Plan, in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company 401(k) Plan and Parent 401(k) Plan. The Company and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to effectuate any such rollovers, including by exchanging any necessary participant records or engaging any recordkeepers, administrators, providers, insurers, or other third parties.

(e) Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Benefit Plans shall occur as of the Effective Time. Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to assume and honor all of the Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms (it being understood that this Section 5.9(b) shall not be deemed to prohibit Parent or the Surviving Corporation from amending, modifying, replacing or terminating such Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms).

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.9 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 5.9 shall create such rights in any such Persons. Nothing herein shall (i) guarantee employment for any period of time or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee at any time and for any reason; (ii) guarantee any employment position or job title for any Continuing Employee; (iii) require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to continue any Benefit Plans, or other employee benefit plans or arrangements or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time in accordance with their terms; or (iv) amend any Benefit Plans or other employee benefit plans or arrangements.

ARTICLE 2. CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

Section 2.1. CVRs. The CVRs represent the contractual rights of the respective Holders to receive a one-time contingent cash payment pursuant to the Merger Agreement and this Agreement. The initial Holders will be determined pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and a list of the initial Holders will be furnished to the Rights Agent by or on behalf of Parent in accordance with Section 2.2(a)(i).

Section 2.2. CVR Register; Registration; Transferability.

(a) List of Holders and the CVR Register.

(i) Parent will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Rights Agent (A) in such form as Parent receives from the Company’s transfer agent (or other agent performing similar services for the Company with respect to the Company Shares), the names and addresses of the Holders of such securities within thirty (30) Business Days after the Effective Time, and (B) in the case of Holders of Company Equity Award CVRs, the names and addresses of the Holders of such securities set forth in the books and records of the Company at the Effective Time and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

(ii) The Rights Agent will keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of (i) identifying the Holders of CVRs and (ii) registering CVRs in a book-entry position for each Holder and Permitted Transfers of CVRs as provided in this Agreement.

(iii) A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written request, the Rights Agent is authorized to, and will promptly, record the change of address in the CVR Register.

(b) Book-Entry.

(i) The CVRs will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

(ii) With respect to CVRs that are to be issued to the holders of Company Shares held in book-entry form through DTC on behalf of street holders immediately prior to the Effective Time, the CVR Register will initially show one position for Cede & Co. (as nominee of DTC) representing all such CVRs. The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the street name holders or DTC participants with respect to transfers of CVRs unless and until such CVRs are transferred into the name of such street name holders in accordance with Section 2.2(c)(i).

(i) Non-transferable. The CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered, or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer. Any such attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, or disposal that is not a Permitted Transfer will be null and void.

(ii) Required Documentation for Permitted Transfers. Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and other documentation reasonably requested by the Rights Agent in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its guidelines, duly executed by the Holder of such CVR, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal representative, or the Holder’s survivor, as applicable, and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form, in good faith reasonably determine whether the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), and if the Rights Agent so reasonably determines that it does so comply, the Rights Agent will register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register and notify Parent of the same. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer of a CVR, but the Rights Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other Tax or governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent will have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement (other than as provided in Section 2.3(f)) that requires the payment of applicable Taxes or governmental charges by Parent (or its Affiliates) or a Holder unless and until the Rights Agent is satisfied that all such Taxes or charges have been paid. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register will be the valid obligations of Parent and will entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR will be valid unless and until registered in the CVR Register.

Section 2.3. Payment and Related Procedures.

(a) If the Milestone is achieved on or prior to the earlier of the Milestone Deadline Date and the Termination, then (i) on or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days following the achievement of the Milestone (such date, the “Milestone Payment Date”), Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent (x) a written notice indicating that the Milestone has been achieved (the “Milestone Achievement Notice”) and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders are entitled to receive the Milestone Payment and (y) any letter of instruction reasonably requested by the Rights Agent, (ii) Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent the payment required by Section 2.3(b), and (iii) Parent shall cause the Company Equity Award Milestone Payments (as defined below) to be paid to the Holders of Company Equity Award CVRs pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of this Agreement and Section 2.6 of the Merger Agreement.

(b) Parent will promptly, and in any event within five Business Days after delivering such Milestone Achievement Notice, deposit with the Rights Agent cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Rights Agent, in an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount necessary to pay the Milestone Payment to the benefit of all the Holders of CVRs less (ii) than the portion of the Milestone Payment to be paid in respect of Company Equity Award CVRs (the “Company Equity Award Milestone Payments”), which Company Equity Award Milestone Payments shall be retained by Parent for payment pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of this Agreement and Section 2.6 of the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that, at the option of the Surviving Corporation, with respect to any Non-Employee Company Equity Award Holder, the Company Equity Award Milestone Payment to such Holder may be paid by the Rights Agent hereunder. For clarity, if the Milestone has not been achieved prior to the Milestone Deadline Date, then Parent will not be required to make any payment to the Rights Agent or the Holders pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Milestone.

(c) The Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days of receipt of the Milestone Achievement Notice, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of such Milestone Achievement Notice; it being understood that unless and until a Milestone Achievement Notice is received by the Rights Agent, the Rights Agent may presume conclusively for all purposes that no such event has occurred or has been achieved that would require the Milestone Payment.

(d) Following receipt by the Rights Agent of the Milestone Payment deposit by Parent under Section 2.3(b), the Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within five Business Days after receipt of such deposit, pay the Milestone Payment to each Holder (other than the Company Equity Award Holders to be paid through Parent’s, the Surviving Corporation’s or such Affiliate’s payroll system or accounts payable system (“Payroll System”) pursuant to this Section 2.3(d)) in accordance with Section 2.3(b) (i) by check mailed to the address of such Holder reflected in the CVR Register as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the Milestone Achievement Notice, or (ii) with respect to any such Holder that is due an amount in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate who has provided the Rights Agent wiring instructions in writing as of the close of business on the date of the Milestone Achievement Notice, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified on such instructions. With respect to the Company Equity Award Milestone Payments payable to Company Equity Award Holders (other than any Non-Employee Company Equity Award Holder that the Surviving Corporation has elected to have paid by the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 2.3(b)), Parent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the delivery of the Milestone Achievement Notice (but in any

event no later than the next regularly scheduled payroll date that is not less than ten Business Days after delivering such Milestone Achievement Notice to the Rights Agent), pay, or cause the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof to pay through Parent’s, the Surviving Corporation’s or such Affiliate’s Payroll System (and subject to any applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 2.3(f) of this Agreement and Section 2.15 of the Merger Agreement), the applicable Company Equity Award Milestone Payment payable to each such Company Equity Award Holder; provided that any Company Equity Award Milestone Payment that becomes payable pursuant to this Agreement will be paid no later than March 15^th of the Calendar Year following the Calendar Year in which the Milestone is determined to be achieved.

(e) With respect to any payments to be made under this Section 2.3, the Rights Agent will accomplish the payment to any former street name holders of the Company Shares by sending a lump sum payment to DTC and the Rights Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments by DTC to such street name holders. In the case of CVRs to be received by any former holders of the Company Equity Awards pursuant to the Merger Agreement, such Company Equity Award CVRs will be registered in the name and address of the Holder of such Company Equity Awards as set forth in the records of the Company at the Effective Time.

(f) Parent, its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation), and the Rights Agent will be entitled to, and Parent will instruct the Rights Agent or its applicable Affiliate to, deduct or withhold from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code, the U.S. Treasury Regulations, or any other applicable Tax Law. With respect to Company Equity Award Holders (other than any Non-Employee Company Equity Award Holder that the Surviving Corporation has elected to have paid by the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 2.3(b)), any such Tax withholdings may be made, or caused to be made, by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate through the Payroll System. Prior to making any such Tax withholdings or causing any such Tax withholdings to be made with respect to any Holder (other than any Company Equity Award Holder to be paid through the Payroll System), the Rights Agent will (and Parent will instruct the Rights Agent to) use reasonable efforts to solicit from such Holder (other than any Company Equity Award Holder to be paid through the Payroll System) an IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or other applicable Tax form within a reasonable amount of time in order to provide the opportunity for the Holder to provide such Tax forms to eliminate or reduce any required Tax withholding. Parent shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate or the Rights Agent to, take all action that may be necessary to ensure that any amounts deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes are promptly and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and properly remitted, such amounts will be treated for all purposes under this Agreement and the Merger Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. Parent will (or will instruct its applicable Affiliate or, other than with respect to any IRS Form W-2, the Rights Agent to) deliver to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid an original IRS Form 1099, IRS Form 1042-S or IRS Form W-2 (with respect to Company Equity Award Milestone Payments), as applicable, or other reasonably acceptable evidence of such withholding. In no event will the Rights Agent have any duty, obligation or responsibility for wage or W-2 reporting with respect to Milestone Payments (including Company Equity Award Milestone Payments) made to the Holders.

(g) Each Milestone Payment payable to a Holder of a Company Equity Award CVR is intended to constitute a payment within the “short-term deferral” period following the lapse of a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (as such terms are defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code) and shall be paid in compliance therewith or under an alternative exemption from Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties intend that each Company Equity Award CVR is exempt from or in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in accordance therewith. None of the parties to this Agreement nor any of their employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to a Holder or transferee or other Person in respect of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment in respect of a Company Equity Award under the Merger Agreement or the CVR Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment.

(h) Any funds delivered to the Rights Agent for payment to the Holders as Milestone Payments (including any interest or other amounts earned with respect thereto) that remain undistributed to the Holders on the date that is 12 months after the date of the Milestone Achievement Notice will be delivered by the Rights Agent to Parent upon demand, and such Holders will thereafter look to Parent, as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the Milestone Payments that such Holder may be entitled under this Agreement.

(i) None of Parent, the Rights Agent, or any of their Affiliates will be liable to any Holder for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such Holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity will become, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the property of Parent or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(j) Except to the extent any portion of any Milestone Payment is required to be treated as imputed interest pursuant to applicable Law (including Section 483 of the Code), the parties intend to treat, for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, (A) the Milestone Payments received with respect to the Company Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement (and not the receipt of CVRs) as additional consideration for the Company Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and (B) Company Equity Award Milestone Payments, and not the receipt of such CVR, as compensation for services in the year in which the Company Equity Award Milestone Payment is made. Parent will (and will instruct the Rights Agent to) report for all Tax purposes in a manner consistent with the foregoing (including as relates to any imputed interest), including by delivering (or instructing its applicable Affiliate or, other than with respect to any IRS Form W-2, the Rights Agent to deliver) to applicable Holders an original IRS Form 1099 or an original IRS Form W-2, as applicable, with respect to the receipt of Milestone Payments, and none of the parties will take any position to the contrary on any U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax Return or for other U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes except as required by a change in applicable Law after the date of this Agreement, a closing or other agreement with an applicable Tax authority, or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 2.4. No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest.

(a) The CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest will not accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any Holder.

(b) The CVRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Parent or in any constituent company to the Merger or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 2.5. Ability to Abandon CVR. A Holder may at any time, at such Holder’s option, abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to Parent or any of its Affiliates without consideration therefor, upon such Holder’s delivery of a written notice of such abandonment to Parent. Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit Parent or any of its Affiliates from offering to acquire or acquiring any CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion. Any CVRs acquired by Parent or any of its Affiliates will be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding for purposes of the definition of Acting Holders and ARTICLE 5 and ARTICLE 6. For the avoidance of doubt, any CVR that is abandoned or otherwise transferred to or acquired by Parent or any of its Affiliates in accordance with this Section 2.5 shall remain outstanding and shall be taken into account for purposes of the calculation of any amounts payable to Holders pursuant to Section 2.3 and the related definitions.

ARTICLE 3. THE RIGHTS AGENT

Section 3.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) Parent appoints the Rights Agent to act as rights agent for Parent in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (and no implied terms and conditions), and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Rights Agent will not have any liability for any actions taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent of its gross negligence, bad faith, or willful or intentional misconduct.

(b) The Acting Holders may direct the Rights Agent to act on behalf of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights under this Agreement. The Rights Agent will be under no obligation to institute any Legal Proceeding, or to take any other action likely to result in the incurrence of material expenses by the Rights Agent unless the Acting Holders (on behalf of the Holders) will furnish the Rights Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses that may be incurred, but this provision will not affect the power of the Rights Agent to take such action as the Rights Agent may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. All rights of action of any or all Holders under this Agreement may be enforced by the Rights Agent, and any action, suit, or proceeding instituted by the Rights Agent will be brought in its name as the Rights Agent and any recovery in connection therewith will be for the proportionate benefit of all the Holders, as their respective rights or interests may appear.

Section 3.2. Certain Rights of the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent. In addition:

(a) in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct on its part, the Rights Agent may rely and will be protected and held harmless by Parent in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) whenever the Rights Agent will deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering, or omitting any action under this Agreement, the Rights Agent may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate, which certificate will be full authorization and protection to the Rights Agent, and the Rights Agent will, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith, or willful or intentional misconduct on its part, incur no liability and be held harmless by Parent for or in respect of any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate;

(c) the Rights Agent may engage and consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection and will be held harmless by Parent in respect of any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it under this Agreement in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(d) the permissive rights of the Rights Agent to do things enumerated in this Agreement will not be construed as a duty;

(e) the Rights Agent will not be required to give any note or surety in respect of the execution of such powers or otherwise in respect of the premises;

(f) the Rights Agent will not be liable for or by reason of, and will be held harmless by Parent with respect to, any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and will be deemed to have been made by Parent only;

(g) the Rights Agent will have no liability and will be held harmless by Parent in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery of this Agreement (except the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Rights Agent and the enforceability of this Agreement against the Rights Agent assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent); nor will it be responsible for any breach by Parent of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement;

(h) Parent agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and hold the Rights Agent harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, demands, suits, or expense arising out of or in connection with the Rights Agent’s duties under this Agreement, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending the Rights Agent against any loss, liability, claim, demands, suits, or expense, unless such loss has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of the Rights Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful or intentional misconduct;

(i) the Rights Agent will not be liable for any special, punitive, indirect, consequential, or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits) arising out of any act or failure to act under this Agreement in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith, or willful or intentional misconduct on its part;

(j) Parent agrees (i) to pay the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent in connection with this Agreement as agreed upon in writing by the Rights Agent and Parent on or prior to the date of this Agreement, and (ii) to reimburse the Rights Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, and other third party charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Rights Agent in the execution of this Agreement (other than Taxes imposed on or measured by the Rights Agent’s net income or gross receipts and franchise or similar Taxes imposed on it). The Rights Agent will also be entitled to reimbursement from Parent for all reasonable, documented, and necessary out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by it in connection with the administration by the Rights Agent of its duties under this Agreement;

(k) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent will not be required to indemnify, hold harmless, or reimburse the expenses of the Rights Agent in connection with any Legal Proceeding commenced by the Rights Agent against Parent;

(l) no provision of this Agreement will require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement or in the exercise of its rights if there will be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and

(m) no Holder shall be obligated to indemnify the Rights Agent for, or hold the Rights Agent harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, demand, suit or expense arising out of or in connection with the Rights Agent’s duties under this Agreement or to pay or reimburse the Rights Agent for any fees, costs or expenses incurred by the Rights Agent in connection with this Agreement or the administration of its duties hereunder, and the Rights Agent shall not be entitled to deduct any amount from any Milestone Payment in any circumstance except as provided in Section 2.3(f).

Section 3.3. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) The Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Parent specifying a date when such resignation will take effect, which notice will be sent at least 60 days prior to the date so specified but in no event will such resignation become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4. Parent has the right to remove the Rights Agent at any time by specifying a date when such removal will take effect but no such removal will become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4. Notice of such removal will be given by Parent to the Rights Agent, which notice will be sent at least 60 days prior to the date so specified.

(b) If the Rights Agent provides notice of its intent to resign, is removed, or becomes incapable of acting, Parent will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent who will be a stock transfer agent of national reputation or the corporate trust department of a commercial bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Parent will fail to make

such appointment within a period of 60 days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the incumbent Rights Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. The successor Rights Agent so appointed will, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4, become the successor Rights Agent.

(c) Parent will give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent through the facilities of DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures and/or by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the CVR Register. Each notice will include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Parent fails to send such notice within 10 Business Days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent will cause the notice to be transmitted at the expense of Parent. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 3.3, however, will not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

(d) The Rights Agent will cooperate with Parent and any successor Rights Agent as reasonably requested in connection with the transition of the duties and responsibilities of the Rights Agent to the successor Rights Agent, including transferring the CVR Register to the successor Rights Agent.

Section 3.4. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Rights Agent appointed under this Agreement will execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Parent and to the retiring Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such successor Rights Agent, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Rights Agent. On request of Parent or the successor Rights Agent, the retiring Rights Agent will execute and deliver an instrument transferring to the successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Rights Agent.

ARTICLE 4. COVENANTS

Section 4.1. Reserved.

Section 4.2. Books and Records. Parent will, and will cause its controlled Affiliates to, keep true, complete, and correct records in sufficient detail to enable the calculation of the Milestone during the Term.

Section 4.3. Further Assurances. Parent agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered, all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 4.4. Notice and Audit Rights.

(a) If the Milestone has not been achieved during the Milestone Period, Parent will deliver to the Rights Agent, within 45 days following the Milestone Deadline Date, a written notice indicating that the Milestone was not achieved during the Milestone Period (a “Non-Achievement Notice”), as well as the Milestone Statement and an Officer’s Certificate making a certification to that effect. The Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days of receipt of a Non-Achievement Notice, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of such Non-Achievement Notice and the Milestone Statement.

(b) Upon the written request of the Acting Holders provided to Parent within the three month period following the date on which the Rights Agent delivers to each Holder a Non-Achievement Notice and the applicable Milestone Statement (the “Review Request Period”), Parent will permit one independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing mutually agreed upon by such Acting Holders and Parent (the “Independent Accountant”) to have access at reasonable times during normal business hours to the books and records of Parent and its Affiliates pertaining to the Milestone as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate and verify Parent’s determination that the Milestone was not achieved during the Milestone Period; provided that such access will not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of Parent or any of its Affiliates.

(c) No later than 30 days following the conclusion of the Review Request Period, the Independent Accountant will deliver a written report to Parent and the Acting Holders of its findings and conclusion, including all material information related to its conclusion, regarding Parent’s determination that the Milestone was not achieved during the Milestone Period. The Independent Accountant’s conclusion will be final and binding on the parties, absent manifest error.

(d) In the event the Acting Holders properly request a review by the Independent Accountant with respect to the Milestone in accordance with Section 4.4(b), the Milestone Payment will not become due and payable, if at all, unless and until the Independent Accountant’s conclusion becomes final and binding in accordance with this Section 4.4. If, based on the Independent Accountant’s conclusion, such Milestone Payment is due and payable, Parent will, and in any event within five Business Days of the delivery of written report of the Independent Accountant’s findings and conclusion pursuant to Section 4.4(c), make the deposit with the Rights Agent contemplated by Section 2.3.

(e) The fees charged by the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the Acting Holders unless the Independent Accountant determines that a Milestone Payment should have been, and was not, made in accordance with Section 2.3(a), in which case such fees shall be borne by Parent.

(f) If, upon the expiration of the Review Request Period, the Acting Holders have not requested a review in accordance with this Section 4.4, Parent’s determination that a Milestone was not achieved during the Milestone Period will be final and binding on all parties.

(g) Each person seeking to receive information from Parent (including the Independent Accountant) in connection with a review pursuant to this Section 4.4 will enter into a reasonable confidentiality agreement with Parent or any of its Affiliates obligating such person to retain all such information disclosed to such person pursuant to this Section 4.4 (including any information provided to any such person by the Independent Accountant) in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

Section 4.5. Sole Discretion. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the development, distribution and commercialization of ophthalmic products, such as the Product, is uncertain and expensive and as a result, Parent shall have sole discretion and decision making authority over whether to continue to invest, how much to invest in the Product and whether and on what terms, if any, to develop, market or sell the Product.

Section 4.6. No Fiduciary Obligations. Each of Parent and the Rights Agent acknowledges and agrees that the other party, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and controlling Persons do not owe any fiduciary duties to the first party or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, or controlling Persons or to any Holder. The only obligations of Parent and the Rights Agent to each other and their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, and controlling Persons and to any Holder arising out of this Agreement are the contractual obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and, with respect to Parent, the Merger Agreement.

Section 4.7. Confidentiality. The Rights Agent and Parent agree that all books, records, information, and data pertaining to the business of the other party, including, inter alia, personal, non-public Holder information, which are exchanged or received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Agreement will remain confidential, and will not be voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except as may be required by a valid order of an arbitration panel, court, or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or is otherwise required by law or regulation, including SEC, NYSE or Nasdaq rules and regulations, or pursuant to subpoenas from state or federal government authorities (e.g., in divorce and criminal actions).

Section 4.8. Change of Control; Carve-Out Transaction. In the event that Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) desires to consummate a Carve-Out Transaction or a Change of Control prior to the payment of the Milestone Payment in accordance with this Agreement and before the Termination, Parent will cause the Person acquiring the rights to the Product to either (a) assume Parent’s obligations, duties and covenants under this Agreement pursuant to a written acknowledgement executed and delivered to the Rights Agent or (b) provide the information to Parent necessary for Parent to comply with its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that such assumption shall not release Parent from any obligations, duties or covenants under this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in (i) this Section 4.8 with respect to a Carve-Out Transaction and (ii) Section 7.3 with respect to a Change of Control, this Agreement shall not restrict Parent’s or its Affiliates’ ability to merge or consolidate with, or sell, issue, license or dispose of its stock or other equity interests or assets to, any other Person, or spin-off or split-off.

MEDIA RELEASE • COMMUNIQUE AUX MEDIAS • MEDIENMITTEILUNG

Alcon Agrees to Acquire LENSAR, Inc.

•

Acquisition of ALLY Robotic Cataract Laser Systems strengthens Alcon’s cataract equipment and technology portfolio

•

Next generation technology will be expanded globally, improving the efficiency of cataract surgery

GENEVA, Switzerland and ORLANDO, FL March, 24, 2025 – Alcon (SIX/NYSE: ALC), the global leader in eye care dedicated to helping people see brilliantly, and LENSAR, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNSR), a global medical technology company focused on advanced laser solutions for the treatment of cataracts, today announced the companies have entered into a definitive merger agreement through which Alcon intends to acquire LENSAR. The acquisition includes ALLY Robotic Cataract Laser Treatment System^™, LENSAR’s proprietary Streamline^® software technology and LENSAR legacy laser system, building Alcon’s femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) offering.

Under the terms of the agreement, Alcon will purchase all outstanding shares of LENSAR for $14.00 per share in cash (an aggregate implied value of approximately $356 million^*), with an additional non-tradeable contingent value right offering up to $2.75 per share in cash, conditioned on achievement of 614,000 cumulative procedures with LENSAR’s products between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2027. The total potential consideration of $16.75 per share represents a premium of 24% to LENSAR’s 30-day VWAP and a premium of 47% to LENSAR’s 90-day VWAP, assuming the milestone is met. The transaction represents a total consideration of up to approximately $430 million^*.

“We are excited for the opportunity to bring LENSAR’s unique next-generation technologies and intellectual property into our innovative, market-leading equipment portfolio,” said David Endicott, Chief Executive Officer of Alcon. “By leveraging our global footprint, we have the opportunity to deliver the benefits of advanced femtosecond laser technology to many more surgeons around the world and continue to improve efficiency in cataract surgery.”

^*	Assuming use of the Treasury Stock Method

Currently, there are more than 5 million cataract procedures in the U.S., and approximately 32 million globally.¹ FLACS is designed to allow surgeons to utilize a computer-guided laser to address and manage the high prevalence of visually significant astigmatism, perform corneal incisions, capsulotomy, including a refractive capsulotomy, and lens fragmentation, removing the need for blade incisions. This can contribute to more precise, reproducible and reliable cataract surgery.

“Our focus has been on providing surgeons with breakthrough laser technology in cataract surgery for today and tomorrow,” said Nick Curtis, Chief Executive Officer of LENSAR. “Thanks to the continued passion and commitment of LENSAR associates, customers and our investors, we are excited about the potential Alcon has to advance the industry in next-generation laser technology for refractive cataract surgery, furthering our and their mission to meet the needs of both surgeons and their cataract patients.”

The transaction is anticipated to close in mid-to-late 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval and approval by LENSAR’s stockholders.

Lazard is serving as financial advisor to Alcon, and Norton Rose Fulbright is serving as legal advisor to Alcon. Wells Fargo is serving as financial advisor to LENSAR and Latham & Watkins LLP is serving as legal advisor to LENSAR.

When used in this Agreement, the following terms in all of their tenses, cases, and correlative forms shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Section 1.

(a) “Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or not such rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, “Beneficially Own” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall also include record ownership of securities.

(b) “Beneficial Owner” shall mean the Person who Beneficially Owns the referenced securities.

(c) “Company Common Stock” means shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company.

2) Representations and Warranties of Each Stockholder. Each Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent, as of the date hereof, that:

(a) Ownership of Shares. Such Stockholder: (i) is the record owner and Beneficial Owner of, and has good and marketable title to, all of the Original Shares free and clear of any proxy, voting restriction, adverse claim, or other Liens (other than Permitted Liens), other than those created by this Agreement or under applicable federal or state securities laws; (ii) has the sole voting and dispositive power over all of the Original Shares; and (iii) has the sole right to dispose of the Original Shares, and none of the Original Shares is subject to any pledge, disposition, transfer or other agreement, arrangement or restriction, except as contemplated by this Agreement. Except pursuant to this Agreement, there are no options, warrants, or other rights, agreements, arrangements, or commitments of any character to which such Stockholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition, or voting of any of the Original Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Original Shares.

(b) Disclosure of All Shares Owned. As of the date hereof, such Stockholder (including through any of its controlled Affiliates) does not own, of record or have Beneficial Ownership of, any shares of capital stock or voting securities of the Company, other than (i) the Original Shares, and (ii) any Series A Preferred Stock, Company Option, Company RSU Award, Company PSU Award, Warrants, or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Company Common Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of Company Common Stock, each as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement.

(c) Power and Authority; Binding Agreement. Such Stockholder has full power and authority and legal capacity to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(d) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not conflict with or violate any Law applicable to such Stockholder or result in any breach of or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration, or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Lien on any of the Shares pursuant to, any agreement or other instrument or obligation to which such Stockholder is a party.

(e) No Consents. No consent, approval, Order, or authorization of, or registration, declaration, or filing with, any Governmental Entity or any other Person on the part of such Stockholder is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement, except such filings as may be required under the Exchange Act. If such Stockholder is an individual, no consent of such Stockholder’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws in order for such Stockholder to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(f) No Litigation. There is no action, suit, investigation, or proceeding (whether judicial, arbitral, administrative, or other) (each an “Action”) pending against, or, to the knowledge of such Stockholder, threatened against or affecting, such Stockholder or its Affiliates that would reasonably be expected to materially impair or materially adversely affect the ability of such Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis.

3) Agreement to Vote Shares.

(a) Agreement to Vote and Approve. Each Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees during the term of this Agreement, at any annual or special meeting of the Company called with respect to the following matters, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, to appear thereat in person or by proxy and vote or cause the holder of record to vote, in person or by proxy, or deliver a written consent (or cause a consent to be delivered) voting, the Shares: (i) in favor of (1) adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and any other proposals related thereto or necessary for the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Matters”), and (2) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of stockholders of the Company to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger; and (ii) against (1) any Acquisition Proposal, (2) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement made in opposition to adoption of the Merger Agreement, (3) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage or adversely affect the consummation of the Merger or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger in any material respect, or (4) any change in the corporate structure, business, present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company or any amendment or other change to the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws, except as expressly permitted pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Any attempt by a Stockholder to vote, consent or express dissent with respect to (or otherwise to utilize the voting power of) the Shares in contravention of this Section 3(a) shall be null and void ab initio.

(b) Irrevocable Proxy. Each Stockholder hereby appoints Parent and any designee of Parent, and each of them individually, until the Expiration Time (as defined below) (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked), as its proxies and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Shares in accordance with this Section 3. This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of Stockholder under this Agreement. This proxy and power of attorney granted by Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by Stockholder with respect to the Shares. The power of attorney granted by Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the bankruptcy, death, or incapacity of Stockholder. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Exceptions to Vote. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 3 shall not require any Stockholder to be present (in person or by proxy) or vote (or cause to be voted), any of the Shares to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that decreases the amount, changes the form of, imposes any material restrictions on or additional material conditions on the payment of the Merger Consideration, extends the Termination Date (other than as provided in the Merger Agreement), adversely affects the tax consequences to such Stockholder with respect to the consideration to be received in the Merger or otherwise adversely affects such Stockholder of the Company (in its capacity as such) in any material respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Stockholder shall remain free to vote (or execute consents or proxies with respect to) the Shares with respect to any matter other than as set forth in Section 3(a) in any manner such Stockholder deems appropriate, including in connection with the election of directors of the Company.

(d) Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary, in the event the Company Board or any committee thereof effects an Adverse Recommendation Change in compliance with the Merger Agreement, the obligation of the Stockholders to vote the Shares in the manner set forth in Section 3(a) shall be modified such that the Stockholders shall only be required to so vote, in the aggregate, such number of Shares as is equal to the sum of the number of Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole Share) that would represent, as at the time of such vote, 35% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company.

4) No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement. Each Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement such Stockholder will not, and will not permit any entity under such Stockholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies (except as otherwise provided herein) or power of attorney with respect to the Shares, or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than agreements entered into with Parent.

5) Transfer and Encumbrance; Conversion.

a) Each Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, other than in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, such Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge, loan, grant a security interest, convey any legal or Beneficial Ownership interest in or otherwise dispose of (by merger (including by conversion into securities or other consideration), by tendering into any tender or exchange offer, by testamentary disposition, by operation of Law, or otherwise), or encumber (“Transfer”) any of the Shares, or any other security of the Company (other than shares of Series A Preferred Stock) convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for capital stock of the Company (collectively, “Company Securities”), or enter into any contract, option, or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Company Securities or such Stockholder’s voting or economic interest therein; provided, however, that the conversion of any Company Securities to a Share, as applicable, shall not be deemed a “Transfer” for purposed of this Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of Company Securities or any interest therein in violation of this Section 5(a) shall be null and void. This Section 5(a) shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Company Securities by any Stockholder (a) to any member of such Stockholder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of such Stockholder or any member of such Stockholder’s immediate family, or upon the death of such Stockholder, or to a charitable entity qualified as a 501(c)(3) organization under the Code, or (b) if such Stockholder is not a natural person, to an Affiliate controlled by such Stockholder or under common control with Stockholder; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

Each Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, such Stockholder shall not convert or deliver a Conversion Notice (as such term is used in the Certificate of Designations) with respect to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder. Any attempted conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder in violation of this Section 5(b) shall be null and void.

6) Additional Shares.

(a) Each Stockholder agrees that all shares of capital stock of the Company that such Stockholder purchases, acquires the right to vote, or otherwise acquires Beneficial Ownership of after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time, including, as applicable, upon exercise of any Company Option or Warrant or vesting of any Company RSU Award, or Company PSU Award, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, or the like of the capital stock of the Company affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities and such resulting securities shall be deemed to be “Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Promptly following the written request of Parent, or upon any Stockholder’s or any of its controlled Affiliates’ acquisition of record or beneficial ownership of additional shares of capital stock of the Company or Company Securities after the date hereof, such Stockholder shall send to Parent a written notice setting forth the number of Shares and Company Securities owned of record and Beneficially Owned by such Stockholder or any of its controlled Affiliates and indicating the capacity in which such Shares or Company Securities are owned. Each Stockholder agrees to cause any of its controlled Affiliates that acquires any shares of capital stock of the Company or Company Securities on or after the date hereof to execute an agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent to be bound with respect to this Agreement with respect to such shares to the same extent such shares would be subject to this Agreement had they been acquired by such Stockholder, and such shares or other Company securities shall be deemed as Shares for all purposes hereunder.

7) Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights and Certain Other Actions.

(a) Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. To the extent permitted by Law, the Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent in connection with the Merger that such Stockholder may have by virtue of ownership of the Shares, with respect to all Shares.

(b) Waiver of Certain Other Actions. Each Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any Action, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or successors: (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the Closing); (b) to the fullest extent permitted under Law, alleging a breach of any duty of the Company Board, Parent, or Merger Sub in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby, including the Merger; or (c) alleging any failure on the part of the Company or Parent to provide information or alleging a material misstatement or omission in the information provided to such Stockholder in connection with the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

8) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (such earliest date, the “Expiration Time”): (a) the Effective Time; (b) the date on which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms; (c) the date upon which an Adverse Amendment (defined below) is effected; and (d) the termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the Parties; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 16 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 8 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party for any willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. “Adverse Amendment” means any amendment to the Merger Agreement that is effected, or any waiver of the Company’s or Stockholder’s rights under the Merger Agreement that is granted, in each case, without the Stockholder’s prior written consent, that (i) reduces the Merger Consideration to be received by the stockholders of the Company, (ii) changes the form of Merger Consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company, (iii) could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the timing of payment of the Merger Consideration to the Stockholder, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.1 of the Merger Agreement, (iv) imposes new liabilities and/or obligations of the Stockholders under the Merger Agreement or otherwise amends or modifies the Merger Agreement in a manner adverse in any material respect to the Stockholder, or (v) changes the conditions to Closing or termination rights of the Merger Agreement in a manner that adversely affects the Company in any material respect.

9) No Solicitation. Subject to Section 10, each Stockholder acknowledges that such Stockholder has reviewed Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement and agrees to not, and cause its controlled Affiliates to not, take any action listed in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 5.2(a) of the Merger Agreement (without giving effect to any amendment or modification of such clauses after the date hereof that would impose more burdensome restrictions on such Stockholder). Each Stockholder shall, and shall cause such its controlled Affiliates and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Stockholder’s and such Stockholder’s controlled Affiliates’ Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions and negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal. In addition, each Stockholder agrees to be subject to Section 5.2(d) of the Merger Agreement (without giving effect to any amendment or modification of such clause after the date hereof that would impose more burdensome restrictions on such Stockholder) as if such Stockholder were “the Company” thereunder.

10) No Agreement as Director or Officer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in any capacity other than in Stockholder’s capacity as a record holder or Beneficial Owner of the Original Shares, and not in Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and nothing in this Agreement: (a) shall limit or affect any actions taken, inaction or omissions by Stockholder in Stockholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions, inaction or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement; or (b) shall be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict Stockholder from exercising Stockholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director of the Company or the Company’s stockholders.

11) Further Assurances. Each Stockholder agrees, from time to time, and without additional consideration, to execute and deliver such additional proxies, documents, and other instruments and to take all such further action as Parent may reasonably request to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

12) Stop Transfer Instructions. At all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the Expiration Time, in furtherance of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby authorizes the Company or its counsel to notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Shares (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of the Shares), subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order and notice will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company following the Expiration Time.

13) Specific Performance. Each Party hereto acknowledges that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable or invalid, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. The Parties’ rights in this Section 13 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the Parties hereby waives any objections or defenses to any remedy referred to in this Section 13 (including (a) the objection or defense that a remedy at law would be adequate or that an award of such remedy is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity, and (b) any requirement under law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining such relief). For the avoidance of doubt, each Party hereby agrees that there is not an adequate remedy at law for a breach of this Agreement by any Party. The election of any party to pursue an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit such Party from seeking to terminate this Agreement or damages for liability of any Party for any willful breach as provided in Section 8. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will 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 of any one remedy will 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.

14) Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waivers. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by any Party hereto shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such waiving Party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such waiving Party.

15) Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally prior to 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) on that day and otherwise on the next Business Day; (b) on the date sent if sent by electronic mail prior to 5:00 PM (Eastern Time) on that day and otherwise on the next Business Day; (c) on the first Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized next-day courier; or (d) on the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; provided, that in each case of (a) through (d) that any notice given or deemed given on any day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been given on the next Business Day. Such communications must be sent to the Stockholders at the address as set forth on such Stockholder’s signature page attached hereto and if to Parent shall be delivered to:

16) Miscellaneous.

a) Governing Law. This Agreement and all proceedings or counterclaims (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of the Parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, 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 the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties hereto hereby (i) expressly and irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware), and the appellate courts therefrom, in the event any dispute arises out of or concerns this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the aforementioned courts, (iv) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (v) agrees that a final and nonappealable judgment entered by the aforementioned courts shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 16(a) in any such proceeding by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to its address as specified in or pursuant to Section 15. However, the foregoing shall not limit the right of a Party to effect service of process on the other Party by any other legally available method.

c) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 16(c).

d) Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

e) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as either the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party or such Party waives its rights under this Section 16(e) with respect thereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by email with .pdf attachments and including via electronic signatures (including via DocuSign or any similar program or mechanism), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.

h) Assignment.

Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

i) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement.

k) No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Stockholders, and Parent shall not have any authority to manage, direct, restrict, regulate, govern or administer any of the policies or operations of the Company or exercise any power or authority to direct Stockholders in the voting or disposition of any Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
