Effect on Company Capital Stock, Company Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs. + + +(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Capital Stock: + + +(i) Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares cancelled pursuant to Section 1.8(c)) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.9, an amount of cash equal to the Per Share Cash Amount, without interest. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall automatically be cancelled and no longer be deemed outstanding, and the holders thereof shall not have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount, without interest, upon surrender of Certificates and/or Uncertificated Shares in accordance with Section 1.9. + + +(ii) Vested Company Options, Vested Company RSUs and Vested Company PSUs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent will not assume any Vested Company Option, Vested Company RSU or Vested Company PSU. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, each Vested Company Option that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Vested Company RSU that is unexpired, outstanding and has not yet been settled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each Vested Company PSU that is unexpired, outstanding and has not yet been settled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each subject to and in accordance with Section 1.9, shall terminate and be converted into and represent the right to receive the applicable Cash-Out Amount from Parent for such Vested Company Option, Vested Company RSU or Vested Company PSU; provided that the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from such Cash-Out Amount the amount of withholding for Taxes required to be deducted and withheld as a result of the Transactions. The Cash-Out Amount payable pursuant to this Section 1.8(a)(ii) shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating Cash-Out Amounts for all Vested Company Options, Vested Company RSUs or Vested Company PSUs represented by a particular grant held by such Person. 11 + + + + + + + + +________________ + + +(iii) Unvested Company Options and Unvested Company RSUs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent will not assume any Unvested Company Option or any Unvested Company RSU. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, each Unvested Company Option that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each Unvested Company RSU that is unexpired, outstanding and has not yet been settled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each subject to and in accordance with Section 1.8(a)(v) and Section 1.9, shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the applicable Cash-Out Amount from Parent for such Unvested Company Option or Unvested Company RSU (the “Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs)”). + + +(iv) Unvested Company PSUs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent will not assume any Unvested Company PSU. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, each Unvested Company PSU that is unexpired, outstanding and has not yet been settled immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.8(a) (v) and Section 1.9, shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the applicable Cash-Out Amount from Parent for such Unvested Company PSU (the “Unvested Cash (PSUs)” and, together with the Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs), the “Unvested Cash”). + + +(v) Payment of Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) and Unvested Cash (PSUs). The cash payment pursuant to (A) Section 1.8(a)(iii) for Unvested Company Options and Unvested Company RSUs shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting arrangements (including all provisions with respect to the acceleration of vesting following the Effective Time that would apply if such awards were assumed by Parent pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Severance and Change in Control Benefits Plan (the “CIC Plan”) and/or any retention agreement set forth on Schedule 1.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter after giving effect to the applicable Employment Offer Documents) that were applicable to such Unvested Company Options or Unvested Company RSUs, and (B) Section 1.8(a)(iv) in exchange for Unvested Company PSUs shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting arrangements after giving effect to the applicable Employment Offer Documents that were applicable to such Unvested Company PSUs, in each case as of the Effective Time by virtue of Section 1.8(a)(iii) and Section 1.8(iv) as applicable. Therefore, the Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) and Unvested Cash (PSUs) shall not be payable by Parent at the Effective Time, and shall instead become payable by Parent on the date that such Unvested Company Options, Unvested Company RSU or Unvested Company PSUs would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for such awards at the Effective Time (subject to the restrictions and other terms of such vesting schedule and giving effect to the applicable terms with respect to acceleration of vesting under the CIC Plan and/or any retention agreement set forth on Schedule 1.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and applicable Employment Offer Document); provided that if such conditions and terms are not satisfied and vesting ceases at any point after the Effective Time (after giving effect to any applicable terms of acceleration), no such cash payments shall be made. Parent shall make, or in its discretion shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make, all such required payments to holders of Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) and Unvested Cash (PSUs) no later than the earlier of (A) the end of the second completed payroll cycle following the date on which the corresponding Unvested Company Option, Unvested Company RSU and Unvested Company PSUs would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for such awards at the Effective Time and (B) the 15t h day of the calendar month following the date on which the corresponding Unvested Company Option, Unvested Company RSU and Unvested Company PSUs would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for such awards at the Effective Time and in no event later than the end of the calendar year in which the corresponding Unvested Company Option, Unvested Company RSU or Unvested Company PSUs, would have become vested (subject to the restrictions and other terms of such vesting schedule and giving effect to the applicable terms with respect to acceleration of 12 + + + + + + + + +________________ + + +vesting under the CIC Plan and/or any retention agreement set forth on Schedule 1.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and applicable Employment Offer Documents); provided that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from such Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) and Unvested Cash (PSUs) the amount of withholding for Taxes required to be deducted and withheld as a result of the Transactions. The Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(iii) and Unvested Cash (PSUs) payable pursuant to this Section 1.8(a)(v) on a given payment date shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating Cash-Out Amounts for all Unvested Company Options, Unvested Company RSUs and Unvested Company PSUs represented by a particular grant previously held by such Person that would have vested on the relevant vesting date. All amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(v) and Section 1.8(a)(iv) shall be paid without interest. No Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) or Unvested Cash (PSUs), or right thereto, may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by any Person, other than Parent, or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any Liability of such Person, prior to the distribution to such Person of such Unvested Cash (Options/RSUs) and Unvested Cash (PSUs) in accordance with this Agreement. + + +(b) Capital Stock of Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of capital stock of Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the sole stockholder of Sub, be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). The certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Sub common stock will evidence ownership of the same number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. + + +(c) Cancellation of Company Capital Stock Owned by the Company and Parent. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each share of Company Capital Stock owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company or subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof. + + +(d) Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Capital Stock occurring after the Original Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time, all references in this Agreement to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties hereto the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change. + + +(e) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any stockholder of the Company that is entitled to assert appraisal rights properly demands appraisal rights in accordance with Delaware Law and complies with all conditions and obligations of Section 262 thereof, and such perfected appraisal rights are not effectively withdrawn or lost, each Dissenting Share held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall not be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the consideration payable in the Merger, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Delaware Law to a holder of Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by 13 + + + + + + + + +________________ + + +the Company that relate to such demands, and (ii) the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares. If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to seek appraisal rights, the Dissenting Shares held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a) in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 1.9(c), following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.9(c), the amount of cash to which such holder would be entitled in respect thereof under Section 1.8(a) as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares (and all such cash shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have become deliverable to such holder pursuant to Section 1.8(a)). + + +1.9. Surrender of Certificates. + + +(a) Exchange Agent. Parent’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. shall act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in the Merger. + + +(b) Parent to Deposit Cash. On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit or cause a direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent to deposit with the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(i) and Section 1.8(a)(ii) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes the Unvested Cash) (provided that the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(ii) may instead be paid directly by either Parent through its payroll provider or, if so directed by Parent, by the Surviving Corporation through its payroll provider). + + +(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly (and in any event within three Business Days) following the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (“Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall contain such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use of such letter of transmittal in effecting surrender of Certificates in exchange for the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a). Each holder of record of book-entry shares (“Uncertificated Shares”) shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a). In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Uncertificated Shares may provide an “agent’s message” in customary form with respect to any Uncertificated Share (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, or upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an appropriate agent’s message (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Uncertificated Shares, each holder of such Certificate or such Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the cash amount that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.8(a) in respect of the Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificate or such Uncertificated Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any Unvested Cash), and the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the right to receive cash pursuant to Section 1.8(a), except as provided in Section 1.8(e). 14 + + + + + + + + +________________ + + +(d) No Interest. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a) or otherwise in connection with the Merger. + + +(e) Transfers of Ownership. If any cash amount payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a) is to be paid to a Person other than the Person to which the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the payment thereof that the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall, as applicable, be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of cash in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. + + +(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.9, none of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Legal Requirement. + + +(g) Unclaimed Cash. Any portion of funds held by the Exchange Agent that has not been delivered to any holders of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Article I within 12 months after the Effective Time shall promptly be paid to Parent, and thereafter each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures set forth in and contemplated by Section 1.9(c) shall look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat and similar laws) for its claim, only as a general unsecured creditor thereof, to the cash payable to such holder pursuant to Section 1.8(a). + + +1.10. No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. All cash paid or payable following the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with this Agreement shall be so paid or payable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article I. + + +1.11. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such Certificate, following the making of an affidavit of that fact by the record holder thereof, such cash as may be required pursuant to Section 1.8(a) in respect of such Certificate; provided that Parent or the Exchange Agent may, in its respective reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the record holder of such Certificate to deliver a customary bond in such reasonable sum as Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and/or any of their respective Representatives with respect to such Certificate. + + +1.12. Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, their respective subsidiaries and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the cash otherwise deliverable under this Agreement and from any other payments otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, to any holder of any shares of Company Capital Stock, any Company Options, any Company RSUs, any Company PSUs, any Certificates or any Uncertificated Shares such amounts as any of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, their respective subsidiaries or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such deliveries and payments under the Code or any other Applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to or credited by the relevant Tax Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. 15 + + + + + + + + +________________ + + +1.13. Tax Consequences. The parties hereto intend the Merger to be a taxable sale of the Company Capital Stock by the Company’s stockholders. Parent makes no representations or warranties to the Company or to any holder of Company Capital Stock, Company Options, Company RSUs or Company PSUs regarding the Tax treatment of the Merger, or any Tax consequences to the Company or any such holder arising in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions or agreements contemplated by this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Company and such holders are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions and agreements contemplated by this Agreement. + + +1.14. Exchange Rate. All amounts payable to any party under this Agreement shall be paid in dollars. Any amounts to be converted into Dollars for the purpose of calculating any amounts under this Agreement, shall be converted from the applicable foreign currency at the Designated Exchange Rate. + + +ARTICLE II + + +REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY + + +Except as expressly set forth in (x) the Company SEC Reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, DEF 14A and 8-K filed with the SEC prior to the Agreement Date (other than any predictive, cautionary or forward-looking disclosures contained under the caption “Risk Factors” or “Forward-Looking Statements” or under any similar precautionary sections or disclosures that are predictive, cautionary or forward-looking in nature) or (y) the exceptions set forth in the disclosure letter of the Company delivered to Parent and Sub concurrently with the execution of the Original Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) arranged in sections that correspond to the numbered sections contained in the Original Agreement, and the disclosure in any section shall qualify (a) the Section and, if applicable, the Subsection of Article II of the Original Agreement and this Agreement to which it corresponds and (b) the other Sections of the Original Agreement and this Agreement, to the extent the relevance of such disclosure to other representations and warranties is reasonably apparent from the actual text of the disclosed exception, the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Sub as follows (X) in respect of the first sentence of Section 2.1(a), Section 2.2(a), Section 2.3, Section 2.15, Section 2.19 and Section 2.20, as of the Agreement Date and (Y) in respect of all other representations and warranties in this Article II, as of the Original Agreement Date (in the case of both clauses (X) and (Y), except for any such representation or warranty (or portion thereof) that speaks as of a particular date or period of time, in which case as of such particular date or period of time): + + +2.1.

Each Subsidiary is an entity that is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation (except, (i) in the case of good standing, any jurisdiction that does not recognize such concept and (ii) where the failure to be so organized, formed, existing or in good standing in any jurisdiction would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). The Company and each Subsidiary has the corporate or other applicable power to own its properties and to conduct the Business and is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction (to the extent the concept is recognized by such jurisdiction), except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing, individually or in the aggregate with any such other failures, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 16 + + + + + + + + +________________ + + +(b) The Company has made available to Parent a true, correct and complete copy of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other equivalent organizational or governing documents, as applicable, of the Company and each material Subsidiary, in each case as amended to date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the recognition of service under this Section 5.10(b) shall apply to eligibility and vesting and level of benefit and benefit accrual under all employee benefit plans or arrangements maintained by the Parent or its Affiliates (including vacation and severance plans) that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Time, but shall not apply for purposes of benefit accrual under a defined benefit plan. + + +(c) With respect to any welfare plan maintained by Parent or its Affiliates in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its other Affiliates, to the extent permitted by the relevant welfare plan, and consistent with such plans’ application to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates who are not Continuing Employees, to waive all limitations as to waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements, evidence of insurability requirements, preexisting conditions and other exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees (and their spouses, domestic partners and dependents) to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such employees (or their spouses, domestic partners or dependents) under the welfare plans maintained by the Company or its Affiliates prior to the Effective Time. + + +(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.10, the provisions of Section 5.10 shall apply only with respect to Continuing Employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) who are covered under Company Employee Plans that are maintained primarily for the benefit of employees employed in the United States (including Continuing Employees regularly employed outside the United States to the extent they participate in such Company Employee Plans).

In the event that termination of the Company’s 401(k) Plan would reasonably be expected to trigger liquidation or surrender charges, or similar fees, then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent no later than 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date. + + +5.13. D&O Indemnification. + + +(a) From and after the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent will assume, and will cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries to their respective present and former directors and officers (the “Indemnified Parties”) pursuant to any indemnification agreements with the Company or 65 + + + + + + + + +________________ + + +such Subsidiary made available to Parent and any indemnification or advancement provisions under the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) as in effect on the Original Agreement Date with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers of the Company or such Subsidiary occurring prior to the Effective Time, in each case, subject to Applicable Legal Requirements.

The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to advancement, exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable in the aggregate to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company (or equivalent organizational documents) as in effect on the Original Agreement Date, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that adversely affects the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by Applicable Legal Requirements. + + +(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers of the Company or any Subsidiary occurring prior to the Effective Time, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary as of the Agreement Date in the form made available or delivered by the Company to Parent prior to the Agreement Date (the “Existing D&O Policy”), to the extent that directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage is commercially available; provided that: (i) the Surviving Corporation may substitute for the Existing D&O Policy a policy or policies of comparable coverage, including a “tail” or “runoff” insurance policy, (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or for any substitute or “tail” policies) in excess of an amount equal to 300% of the most recently paid annual premium for the Existing D&O Policy (the “Maximum Premium”) and (iii) if requested by Parent, the Company shall issue a broker of record letter acceptable to Parent permitting Parent’s insurance broker to negotiate and place such “tail” or “runoff” insurance of comparable coverage, Parent shall have the right to negotiate such coverage and the Company shall reasonably cooperate therewith. In the event any future annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policies) exceed the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute or “tail” policies) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company in its sole discretion elects, by giving written notice to Parent at least two Business Days prior to the Effective Time, in lieu of the foregoing insurance, the Company may purchase a comparable “tail” or “runoff” extension to the Existing D&O Policy for a period of six years after the Effective Time for a premium not to exceed the Maximum Premium. + + +(c) This Section 5.13 shall survive the consummation of the Merger, is intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Parties, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation and Parent and shall be enforceable by each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives, and may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Effective Time without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Party (provided that any amendment, alteration or repeal prior the Effective Time shall be governed by Section 7.4). If any Indemnified Party makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 5.13 that is denied by Parent and/or the Company or the Surviving Corporation, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Party is entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses, then Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall pay the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with pursuing his or her claims to the fullest extent permitted by law. 66 + + + + + + + + +________________ + + +(d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume and succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.13. + + +5.14. Section 16 Matters. Provided that the Company delivers to Parent the Section 16 Information in a timely fashion, Parent and the Company shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under Applicable Legal Requirements) to cause any disposition of Company Capital Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Capital Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by Article I by each Company Insider to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. “Section 16 Information” means, with respect to each Company Insider, the number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Company Insider and expected to be exchanged for cash in connection with the Merger, and the number and description of the Company Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs held by such Company Insider and expected to be converted into the right to receive cash in connection with the Merger. “Company Insiders” means those individuals who are subject to the reporting requirement of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company. + + +5.15.

Amendment. Subject to Applicable Legal Requirements, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors, at any time before or after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained pursuant to an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto; provided that, after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, no such amendment shall be made to the extent that Applicable Legal Requirements would require further approval by the Company’s stockholders without such further stockholder approval. + + +7.5.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The agreement of Parent to any extension or waiver shall be deemed to be the agreement of Sub to such extension or waiver. No delay in exercising any rights under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that (i) the waiver delivered by Parent and Sub to the Company on January 1, 2021 and (ii) the notices of the termination of the Original Agreement delivered by the Company to Parent and Sub are rescinded, terminated and shall have no further effect. 73 + + + + + + + + +________________ + + +ARTICLE VIII + + +GENERAL PROVISIONS + + +8.1.
