-24-

(iii) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall thereafter be deemed for all purposes to evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Adjustment to the Merger Consideration. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable for Company Shares, occurring on or after the Acceptance Time and prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration, the Option Consideration, the PSU Consideration and the RSU Consideration shall be equitably adjusted so as to provide any Company Stockholder and any holder of Company Equity Awards the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that, in any case, nothing in this Section 3.7(b) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all Company Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by Company Stockholders who are entitled to demand and have properly and validly demanded their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such Company Shares in compliance in all respects with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, “Dissenting Company Shares”), shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.7(a), but instead such holder will be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such holder of Dissenting Company Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Company Shares held by Company Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall no longer be considered to be Dissenting Company Shares and shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 3.8(e), upon surrender of such Company Shares in the manner provided in Section 3.8.

(ii) The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares and (B) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL in respect of Dissenting Company Shares. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment, in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

-25-

(d) Company Options. Each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive (collectively, the “Option Consideration”):

(i) with respect to each In-the-Money Option, (i) an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) the excess, if any, of (x) the Cash Amount over (y) the per share exercise price of such In-the-Money Option, which amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.7(g), and (ii) one (1) CVR for each Company Share underlying such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(ii) with respect to each Out-of-the-Money Option, upon each Valuation Point which occurs after the Effective Time, an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Out-of-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) (I) the excess, if any, of (x) the Per Share Value Paid as of such Valuation Point over (y) the per share exercise price of such Out-of-the-Money Option, less (II) the amount of all payments previously received with respect to such Out-of-the-Money Option pursuant to this Section 3.7(d)(ii) (the “Milestone Option Amount”), which amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.7(g). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event no contingent payment shall become payable with respect to the CVRs under the CVR Agreement, then no payment shall be made hereunder in respect of any Out-of-the-Money Option following the Effective Time, and any such Out-of-the-Money Option shall be canceled for no consideration in exchange therefor.

(e) Company RSU Awards. Each Company RSU Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Cash Amount, which amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.7(g), and (ii) one (1) CVR for each Company Share underlying such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “RSU Consideration”).

-26-

Company PSU Awards granted to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, to a maximum level of performance of 200% of the target level of performance)) and (B) the Cash Amount, which amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.7(g), and (ii) one (1) CVR for each Company Share underlying such Company PSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming attainment of (1) the actual level of performance for performance metrics for which the relevant performance period has been completed as of the Closing Date and (2) the maximum level of performance under the terms of the applicable award agreement as in effect on the date hereof for performance metrics for which the relevant performance period has not been completed as of the Closing Date (subject, in the case of Company PSU Awards granted to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, to a maximum level of performance of 200% of the target level of performance)) (collectively, the “PSU Consideration”). Section 3.7(f) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth for each Company PSU Award outstanding as of the date hereof, the number of Company Shares that would be subject to clause (A) of the foregoing if the Closing Date was the date hereof.

(g) Payment in Respect of Company Equity Awards. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay through the payroll of the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Subsidiary the aggregate cash component of each of the Option Consideration (excluding any cash amounts that may become payable in respect of any Out-of-the-Money Option), RSU Consideration and PSU Consideration, with such amounts to be paid net of any withholding Taxes required to be deducted and withheld by applicable Laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any such amounts relate to a Company Equity Award that is nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the applicable Subsidiary shall pay such amounts at the earliest time permitted under the terms of the applicable agreement, plan or arrangement relating to such Company Equity Award and that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

(h) Company ESPP. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company ESPP) shall take all actions as it deems necessary or appropriate to ensure that (i) no Payment Period (as defined in the Company ESPP) under the Company ESPP shall be commenced on or after the date of this Agreement, (ii) beginning on the date of this Agreement, no new participants may join the Company ESPP during the Payment Period in existence under the Company ESPP as of the date of this Agreement (such payment period, the “Existing Payment Period”), (iii) beginning on the date of this Agreement, no participant may increase the amount of his or her payroll deductions with respect to the Existing Payment Period, (iv) if the Acceptance Time shall occur prior to the end of the Existing Payment Period, all participant contributions under the Company ESPP shall be used to purchase Company Shares two (2) Business Days prior to the Acceptance Time in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP as if such date was the last day of the Existing Payment Period and (v) the Company ESPP shall terminate in its entirety on the Closing Date and no further rights shall be granted or exercised under the Company ESPP thereafter.

-27-

(i) Company Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Stock Plan and Company ESPP) shall adopt such resolutions and take such other actions as may be necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Equity Awards and the Company ESPP pursuant to this Section 3.7. The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time, none of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver Company Shares to any Person pursuant to, upon exercise or in settlement of Company Equity Awards or in respect of the Company ESPP.

3.8 Payment for Company Securities; Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall designate and appoint a nationally recognized, reputable U.S. bank or trust company (the identity of which shall be subject to the reasonable prior approval of the Company) to act as depository agent for the Company Stockholders to receive the funds to which such Company Stockholders shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(e) at the Acceptance Time (the “Depository Agent”) and as the paying agent for the Company Stockholders to receive the funds to which such Company Stockholders shall become entitled pursuant to Section 3.7(a)(i) at the Effective Time (the “Paying Agent”).

(b) Exchange Fund. At or immediately after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Depository Agent cash sufficient to make payment to the Company Stockholders pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1(e) and with the Paying Agent, cash sufficient to make payment to the Company Stockholders pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.7(a)(i) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Option Consideration, the PSU Consideration or the RSU Consideration) (collectively, such deposits with the Depository Agent and with the Paying Agent, the “Exchange Fund”). 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. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, funds in the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent, as reasonably directed by Parent. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent or the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Section 3.8(g) and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be responsible for any income taxes on such interest and other income. No investment or losses thereon shall affect the consideration to which holders of Company Shares are entitled under this Article III and to the extent that there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the amount required to promptly pay in full the cash amounts contemplated by this Article III, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make in full such payments contemplated by this Article III. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as expressly provided in this Agreement.

-28-

(i) With respect to any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares (the “Certificates”), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail, promptly following the Effective Time (but in no event later than the fifth (5th) Business Day thereafter), to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of such Certificates (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article III. Upon surrender of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time the Cash Amount payable for each Company Share represented by such Certificate pursuant to Section 3.7 (less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 3.8(e)), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.

(ii) With respect to non-certificated Company Shares represented in book-entry form (the “Uncertificated Shares”), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver the Cash Amount payable therefor (less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 3.8(e)), in each case promptly following the Effective Time and upon surrender thereof to the Paying Agent by receipt of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) (but in no event later than the fifth (5th) Business Day thereafter). The Company and Parent shall cooperate to, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to, (A) deliver to DTC or its nominees, or to holders of Uncertificated Shares, in each case to the extent applicable or required, any notice with respect to the effectiveness of the Merger and any instructions for surrendering Uncertificated Shares and (B) establish procedures with the Paying Agent and DTC to ensure that the Paying Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, upon surrender of Company Shares held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures, the Cash Amount payable for each such Uncertificated Share pursuant to Section 3.7.

(iii) The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates and transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 3.8. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares (other than Certificates and Uncertificated Shares representing any Canceled Company Shares or Dissenting Company Shares) shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 3.8(e), payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. In the event that a transfer of ownership of Company Shares is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if the Merger Consideration (including payment in the form of or with respect to any CVR) is to be paid

-29-

in a name other than that in which the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered is registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid any transfer Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares, or established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable. None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation shall have any liability for any such Taxes in the circumstances described in this Section 3.8(d).

(e) Required Withholding. Each of the Paying Agent, the Rights Agent, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement (or pursuant to any CVRs issued in respect of Company Shares or Company Equity Awards pursuant to the CVR Agreement) to any holder or former holder of Company Shares and Company Equity Awards such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Tax Laws (including with respect to any amounts treated as interest under Section 483 of the Code). Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Company to obtain any affidavits, certificates and other documents as may reasonably be expected to afford to the Company and its stockholders reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted and withheld, each such payor shall take all action as may be necessary to ensure any such amounts so withheld are timely and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority. Any amounts deducted and withheld under this Agreement that are timely and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Company Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Shares at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest or other amounts earned with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any Company Stockholders who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time for exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.8 shall thereafter look for payment of the Merger Consideration, payable in respect of the Company Shares formerly represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares, solely to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Merger Consideration to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.

-30-

3.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. From and after the Effective Time, all Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist, and (a) each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares theretofore representing any Company Shares (other than Dissenting Company Shares or Canceled Company Shares) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable therefor upon the surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8 (or, for the avoidance of doubt and without duplication, any consideration that remains payable with respect to any Accepted Company Shares pursuant to the Offer), (b) each holder of any Dissenting Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights specified in Section 3.7(c) and (c) each holder of any Canceled Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto. The Merger Consideration or the consideration specified in Section 3.7(c), as applicable, paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

3.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.7 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of a customary affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, in the form and substance as reasonably requested by the Paying Agent, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.7; provided, however, that the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a customary indemnity (which may include the posting of a bond in a reasonable amount) against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

3.11 Necessary Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to continue, vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise the Surviving Corporation’s right, title or interest in, to or under, or duty or obligation with respect to, any of the property, rights, privileges, powers or franchises, or any of the debts or Liabilities, of the Company as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger, or otherwise to carry out the intent of this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assumptions and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to continue, vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise any and all right, title and interest in, to and under, or duty or obligation with respect to, such property, rights, privileges, powers or franchises, or any such debts or Liabilities, in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours following receipt or delivery thereof) provide Parent with copies of all written Acquisition Proposals, and all written inquiries, proposals, offers or other materials (including proposed agreements and proposed financing documents) relating to any Acquisition Proposal or that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal that, in each case, are either received by the Company or any of its Representatives from the Person(s) making any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal or offer or any of its Representatives, or are delivered by the Company or any of its Representatives to such Person(s) or any of its or their Representatives.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, (i) the Company has received a written, bona fide Acquisition Proposal from any Person after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.2, and (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such

-64-

action described in clause (A), (B) or (C) below would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company may (A) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Person, (B) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives (provided that (x) the Company shall substantially contemporaneously provide or make available to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to such Person and which was not previously provided or made available to Parent and (y) the Company shall have entered into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Person and provided Parent a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) and (C) participate and engage in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal (and waive such Person’s noncompliance with the provisions of any “standstill” agreement solely to the extent necessary to permit such discussions or negotiations). Prior to or concurrently with the Company first taking any of the actions described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) of the immediately preceding sentence with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide written notice to Parent of the determination of the Company Board made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.2 by any Subsidiary of the Company or any of its or their Representatives shall constitute a breach by the Company of this Section 6.2.

6.3 Company Board Recommendation.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 6.3, the Company Board shall recommend that the Company Stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Company Shares to Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer (the “Company Board Recommendation”).

(b) Subject to Section 6.3(c), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, amend, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 (each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Company Board Recommendation Change”); provided, however, that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board or any committee thereof to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, (i) the Company Board may, in response to the receipt of a written, bona fide Acquisition Proposal received after the date hereof that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.2 or the occurrence an Intervening Event, effect a Company Board Recommendation Change and (ii) the Company Board may, in response to the receipt of a written, bona fide Acquisition Proposal received after the date hereof that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.2, cause or permit the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal and terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii); provided that the Company and Company

-65-

Board may only take an action described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 6.3(c) if (A) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (B) in the case of receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, (C) the Company provides written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days prior to effecting a Company Board Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) of its intent to take such action, specifying the reasons therefor, including, in the case of receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (including a copy of all definitive agreements in respect thereof and any other relevant proposed transaction documentation (including any financing commitments)) (a “Change of Recommendation/Termination Notice”), (D) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii), the Company negotiates, and causes its Representatives to negotiate, with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent seeks to negotiate) during such four (4) Business Day period to enable Parent to propose in writing a binding offer to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the CVR Agreement as to obviate the basis for a Company Board Recommendation Change or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) and (E) no earlier than the end of such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel), after considering any proposed amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the CVR Agreement proposed in writing in a binding offer by Parent during such four (4) Business Day period, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (and, in the case of an Acquisition Proposal, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal). Following delivery of a Change of Recommendation/Termination Notice in the case of an Acquisition Proposal, in the event of any change to the financial terms (including any change to the amount or form of consideration payable) or other material revision to the terms or conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide a new Change of Recommendation/Termination Notice to Parent, and any Company Board Recommendation Change or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) following delivery of such new Change of Recommendation/Termination Notice shall again be subject to clauses (C) through (E) of the immediately preceding sentence, except that references to four (4) Business Days shall be deemed to be two (2) Business Days.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that this Section 6.3(d) shall not permit the Company Board to make a Company Board Recommendation Change except to the extent permitted by Section 6.3(c).

Further, neither party will extend any waiting period under the HSR Act (by pull and refile or otherwise) or enter into any agreement with the FTC, the Antitrust Division of the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority not to consummate the Transactions without the consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Each of Parent and Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall promptly inform the other of any substantive communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the Transactions in connection with any filings or investigations with, by or before any Governmental Authority relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, including any proceedings initiated by a private party. If any party hereto or an Affiliate thereof shall receive a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law with respect to which any such filings have been made, then such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

Any such disclosures, rights to participate or provisions of information by one party to the other may be made on a counsel-only basis to the extent required under applicable Law or to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company or confidential competitively sensitive business information of the Company or Parent or any of their Subsidiaries.

(c) Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cooperate with one another in good faith to (i) promptly determine whether any filings not contemplated by Section 7.2(a) are required to be made, and whether any other Consents not contemplated by Section 7.2(a) are required to be obtained, from any Governmental Authority under any other applicable Law in connection with the Transactions, and (ii) promptly make any filings, furnish information required in connection therewith and seek to obtain timely any such Consents that the parties determine are required to be made or obtained in connection with the Transactions.

7.3 Merger. Following the Acceptance Time, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the Acceptance Time, without a meeting of the Company Stockholders, in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall, and shall not permit and shall cause their respective Representatives not to, take any action that could render Section 251(h) of the DGCL inapplicable to the Merger.

-69-

7.4 Public Statements and Disclosure. The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Transactions shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties. Thereafter, neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall issue (or permit its Affiliates or Representatives to issue) any public release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release or announcement is required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of NASDAQ or NYSE, as applicable, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party or parties hereto a reasonable opportunity to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance (it being understood that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, as well as the timing of any such release or announcement, shall be at the final discretion of the disclosing party); provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.4 shall not apply to any release or announcement made or proposed to be made by any party with respect to the matters addressed in Sections 6.2 or 6.3; provided, further, that the parties shall not be required by this Section 7.4 to provide such opportunity to comment to the other party in the event of any dispute between the parties relating to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) to the extent the content of any press release or other announcement has been approved and made in accordance with this Section 7.4, no separate approval shall be required in respect of such content to the extent replicated in whole or in part in any subsequent press release or other announcement, and (b) each party may, without complying with the foregoing obligations, make any public statement regarding the Transactions in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, and make internal announcements to employees, in each case, to the extent that such statements are not inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the parties or approved by the parties, and otherwise in compliance with this Section 7.4, and provided, that such public statements do not reveal material nonpublic information regarding this Agreement or the Transactions.

7.5 Anti-Takeover Laws. In the event that any state anti-takeover or other similar Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or the Transactions, the Company and the Company Board shall grant such approval and take such action as necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

7.6 Access. 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 IX and the Effective Time, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books and records and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, during such period, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) furnish reasonably promptly to Parent all information (financial or otherwise) concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request, in each case solely for the purpose of effectuating the Transactions or for reasonable integration planning purposes; 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 or its Subsidiaries to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information, (b) the Company reasonably determines access to such documents or information would result in a waiver of 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 or, subject to Section 6.2 and Section 6.3, an Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal. In the event that the

-70-

Company does not provide access or information in reliance on clauses (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to communicate the applicable information to Parent in a way that would not violate any applicable Law or waive such a privilege. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 7.6 (i) shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) shall be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its Representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 7.6. Nothing in this Section 7.6 shall be construed to require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives of any of the foregoing to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals or opinions that are not readily available.

7.7 Section 16(b) Exemption. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including “derivative securities” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act)) in connection with the Transactions by any director or executive officer of the Company who is a covered Person of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

7.8 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent agrees that it shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, each current or former director and officer of the Company (determined as of the Effective Time), in each case, when acting in such capacity or in serving as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another entity or enterprise, including a Plan, at the request or benefit of the Company (each, a “D&O Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), amounts paid in settlement, judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to any Legal Proceeding in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to matters existing or occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to, at or after the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any D&O Indemnified Party, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (upon receipt of appropriate undertakings in favor of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to repay such advanced expenses if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such D&O Indemnified Party was not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this sentence). In the event of any such Legal Proceeding, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the D&O Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Legal Proceeding. 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 equivalent to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time and shall not amend, repeal

-71-

or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Parties; provided that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim made for indemnification within such period shall continue until the disposition of such action or resolution of such claim. The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any indemnification Contracts between any executive, officer or director and the Company in effect prior to the date of this Agreement that are set forth on Section 7.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (and made available to Parent), and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such Contracts in any manner that would adversely affect in any respect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Parties.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, purchase from the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier as of the date of this Agreement or one or more insurance carriers with the same or better credit rating as such carrier, a six (6) year prepaid “tail” policy, with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable to the insureds than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (a true, correct and complete copy of which has been made available to Parent), with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement and the transactions or actions contemplated by this Agreement), and Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation; provided that the Company shall not pay, and the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay, in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement in respect of such “tail” policy. If the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies prior to or as of the Effective Time, Parent shall, for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement with the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance carriers as of the date of this Agreement or one or more insurance carriers with the same or better credit rating as such carrier with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided that after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as practicable for such amount.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any D&O Indemnified Party notifies the Surviving Corporation on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time that a claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) has been made against such D&O Indemnified Party, the provisions of this Section 7.8 shall continue in effect with respect to such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation until the final disposition thereof.

-72-

(d) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation (or any of its successors or assigns) (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving 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, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 7.8.

(e) This Section 7.8 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and is intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives, and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect in any material respect any D&O Indemnified Party without the written consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party. The rights provided under this Section 7.8 shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any D&O Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees.

7.9 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) provide to each Continuing Employee for so long as such Continuing Employee remains in the employment of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries: (i) a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, that is not less than the base salary or wage rate (as applicable) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) an annual cash incentive opportunity that is no less favorable than the annual cash incentive opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) severance benefits no less than the severance benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time as set forth on Section 7.9(a)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Letter and (iv) other compensation and employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the other compensation and employee benefits (excluding any defined benefit pensions or post-employment health or welfare benefits, equity and retention, change in control or other one-off payments or benefits) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time or, at Parent’s election, if greater, the other compensation and employee benefits provided to similarly situated new hires of Parent and its Affiliates (but subject to Section 7.9(b)).

(b) If the Closing Date occurs before the date annual bonuses for fiscal year 2023 are paid under any Plan that is an annual cash incentive compensation plan or arrangement (a “2023 Bonus Plan”), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to (i) continue to operate such 2023 Bonus Plan consistent with the Company’s past practice, and (ii) pay an annual bonus for fiscal year 2023 under the 2023 Bonus Plan at substantially the same time as annual bonuses have historically been paid by the Company (but in no event later than June 15, 2023) (the “2023 Annual Bonus Payment Date”) to each Continuing Employee participating in a 2023 Bonus Plan (A) who remains employed by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates through the date of payment or (B) whose employment by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates is terminated before such payment under the circumstances described on Section 7.9(b)(ii)(B) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(c) To the extent that a Plan or any other employee benefit plan or other compensation or severance arrangement of the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries (together, the “New Plans”) is made available to any Continuing Employee on or following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (i) for purposes of vesting (but not eligibility or benefit accrual) under Parent’s defined benefit pension plan, (ii) for purposes of eligibility and benefit accrual for vacation and work anniversary service awards under Parent’s vacation program and work anniversary service award programs, (iii) for purposes of eligibility to participate in any health or welfare plan maintained by Parent (other than any post-employment health or post-employment welfare plan), (iv) for purposes of eligibility, vesting and company contributions under Parent’s 401(k) plans and (v) unless covered under another arrangement with or of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, for benefit calculation purposes under Parent’s severance plan; provided, however, that in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to use commercially reasonable efforts to) ensure that (I) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under any such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”) and (II) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision and/or disability benefits to any Continuing Employee, all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan will be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent they did not apply to the Continuing Employee under the corresponding Old Plan and any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during any unfinished portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins will be given full credit under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to take any action to the extent Parent determines that such action could make a Continuing Employee (or eligible dependent) ineligible for a benefit (for example, if credit for past contributions would make the Continuing Employee ineligible for health savings account contributions from Parent).

(d) The Company shall take the actions set forth on Section 7.9(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(e) Prior to making any broad-based written communications to the directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefit matters related to the Transactions, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, and Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication and the Company shall consider any such comments in good faith.

-74-

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries to terminate, any Continuing Employee for any reason, (ii) constitute an amendment to any Plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement, (iii) require Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries to continue any Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time or (iv) create any obligation of the parties to any Person (other than the other parties hereto) with respect to any employee compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement. The provisions of this Section 7.9 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement. No Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Section 7.9, and no provision of this Section 7.9 shall create such rights in any such Persons.

7.10 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement before and after the Effective Time, as applicable (including, with respect to Merger Sub, to consummate the Transactions upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement).

7.11 Certain Litigation. The Company shall promptly advise Parent of any Legal Proceeding commenced after the date hereof against the Company and/or any of its directors (in their capacity as such) by any Company Stockholders (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Company) relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding any such Legal Proceeding. Except if the Company Board has made a Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding, or participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any such Legal Proceeding. The Company may not enter into any settlement agreement in respect of such Legal Proceeding against the Company and/or its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions without Parent’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event of, and to the extent of, any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 7.11 and Section 6.1 or Section 7.1, this Section 7.11 will control.

7.12 Delisting. Each of the parties agrees to cooperate with the other parties in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Company Shares from NASDAQ and terminate its registration under the Exchange Act, provided, that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until after the Effective Time.

7.13 14d-10 Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Compensation Committee shall (a) approve as an Employment Compensation Arrangement each plan, program, agreement or arrangement between Parent, the Company or their respective Affiliates and any of the current or former officers, directors or employees of the Company that are entered into after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Acceptance Time pursuant to which compensation is paid to such officer, director or employee and (b) take all steps reasonably necessary to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor under Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to each such plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

-75-

7.14 Notice of Certain Events. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, (i) of any notice or other communication received by such party from any Person alleging that the Consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with any of the Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such Consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, (ii) of any Legal Proceeding commenced or, to any party’s Knowledge, threatened against, such party or any of its Affiliates or otherwise relating to such party or any of its Affiliates, in each case relating to any of the Transactions and (iii) if it obtains Knowledge of any breach by such party of its representations, warranties and covenants hereunder that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to lead to the failure of any condition to the other party’s obligations to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall not affect the remedies available hereunder to any party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the failure to deliver any such notice, in and of itself, shall not affect any of the conditions to the Offer (or cause any such conditions to fail to be satisfied) or give rise to any right to terminate under Article IX.

7.15 Real Estate Matters. The Company shall, and shall cause their applicable Affiliates to, provide reasonable assistance to Parent (at the request and expense of Parent) in connection with Parent’s efforts to (a) obtain new title insurance policies and (b) new surveys (or updates to existing surveys, if available), in respect of any Owned Real Properties. The foregoing assistance shall include the delivery by the Company or applicable Subsidiary of customary and reasonable affidavits required by the title company to issue its policies (including non-imputation and owner’s affidavits) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the title company, and the granting of access to the applicable Owned Real Properties to surveyor(s) at reasonable times, upon reasonable notice and subject to reasonable limitations. Parent shall be responsible for the cost and expense of the title policies, the surveys and any related service under this Section 7.15.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.4 Confidentiality.

10.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any schedules, annexes and exhibits hereto), the CVR Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Annexes hereto, and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

-82-

Section 7.8, (b) the right of the Company to pursue damages (including, to the extent proven and awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, damages based on loss of the economic benefit of the Offer or the Merger as contemplated by this Agreement to the Company Stockholders), (c) from and after the Acceptance Time, the rights of the Company Stockholders pursuant to the Offer to receive the Offer Price, as provided in Article II and in accordance with the Offer, and (d) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of Company Stockholders and the holders of other Company Equity Awards to receive the Merger Consideration, Option Consideration, PSU Consideration or RSU Consideration, as applicable, as provided in Article III.

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 a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Offer and the Merger be effected as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(b) The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and/or Merger Sub, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall be entitled (without proof of actual damages or otherwise or posting or securing any bond) to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other under this Agreement. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, hereby agree not to oppose the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

10.9 Governing Law. This Agreement, including any claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance thereof or the Transactions, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law 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.

2.	CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

2.1. CVRs. The CVRs represent the contractual rights of Holders to receive contingent cash payments pursuant to the Merger Agreement and this Agreement. The initial Holders shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and a list of the initial Holders shall be furnished to the Rights Agent by or on behalf of Parent in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof.

2.2. 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 sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposal that is not a Permitted Transfer shall be null and void.

2.3. No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.

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

(b) The Rights Agent shall keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of registering CVRs in a book-entry position for each Holder and transfers of CVRs as herein provided. With respect to CVRs that are to be issued to the holders of Company Shares held in book-entry form through DTC, the CVR Register will initially show one (1) 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. With respect to any payments to be made under Section 2.4 below, 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 the holders of Covered Equity Awards pursuant to the Merger Agreement, such CVRs will be registered in the name and address of the holder of such Covered Equity Awards as set forth in the records of the Company at the Effective Time and in a denomination equal to the number of Company Shares subject to such Covered Equity Awards canceled in connection with the Merger.

(c) 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 thereof, 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 shall, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form, notify Parent that it has received such written notice. Upon receipt of such notice from the Rights Agent, Parent shall 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 Parent so reasonably determines that it does so comply, Parent shall instruct the Rights Agent in writing to register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register and notify Parent of the same. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer of a CVR, but Parent and the Rights Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other Tax or charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment of applicable Taxes or charges 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 shall be the valid obligations of Parent and shall 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 shall be valid unless and until registered in the CVR Register.

(d) 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 hereby authorized to, and shall promptly, record the change of address in the CVR Register.

2.4. Payment Procedures.

(a) If (i) the Clinical Recommendation Milestone occurs, (ii) the FDA Approval Milestone occurs or (iii) the Net Sales Milestone is achieved, then, in each case, (A) on or prior to the applicable Milestone Notice Date, Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent a notice (each, a “Milestone Notice”) indicating that the applicable Milestone was achieved and (B) in accordance with Section 4.2, Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Rights Agent, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount necessary to pay the applicable Milestone Payment to all Holders (each, the “Applicable Milestone Amount”), along with any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent; provided that, Parent may determine, in its sole discretion, that any Covered Milestone Payments shall instead be paid to the applicable Holders through the payroll of the Surviving Corporation or one of its Affiliates and the Applicable Milestone Amount shall be reduced accordingly for all purposes of this Agreement. Until a Milestone Notice with respect to the applicable Milestone is received by the Rights Agent, the Rights Agent may presume conclusively for all purposes that no event has occurred that would require the applicable Milestone Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, any Milestone Payment shall only be due once, if at all, and (I) with respect to the achievement of the Net Sales Milestone, regardless of whether Net Sales exceed the applicable threshold in both Measurement Periods and (II) with respect to the Clinical Recommendation Milestone, regardless of whether any other component of the Clinical Recommendation Milestone may subsequently occur. For the avoidance of doubt, no publication of a Class I recommendation contemplated by the Clinical Recommendation Milestone or approval of a premarket approval application contemplated by the FDA Approval Milestone occurring after the end of the applicable Clinical Recommendation Milestone Period or the FDA Approval Milestone Period, as applicable, shall result in any Milestone Payment becoming due and payable. In no event shall Parent be required to pay more than $35.00 per CVR in the aggregate in the event all Milestones have been achieved.

(b) In the event that Parent delivers a Milestone Notice, the Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a Milestone Notice, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of such Milestone Notice. Following receipt by the Rights Agent of the Applicable Milestone Amount in accordance with Section 4.2, the Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereof, pay the applicable Milestone Payment to each of the Holders in accordance with the corresponding letter of instruction delivered by Parent (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 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 Notice, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified on such instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Covered Milestone Payment that becomes payable pursuant to the Agreement shall be paid no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable Milestone is determined to be achieved.

(c) Parent, its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to, and Parent shall 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 thereunder, or any other applicable Tax Law. Prior to making any such Tax withholdings or causing any such Tax withholdings to be made with respect to any Holder (other than payroll withholding and reporting on the Covered Milestone Payments), the Rights Agent shall (and Parent shall instruct the Rights Agent to), to the extent practicable, provide notice to any Holder of such potential withholding and use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from such Holder 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 such withholding amounts. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement and the Merger Agreement as having been paid to the Holder to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, and to the extent and within the time period required by applicable Law, Parent shall (or shall instruct its applicable Affiliate or, other than with respect to any IRS Form W-2, the Rights Agent to) deliver to the Holder to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid an applicable IRS Form 1099, an IRS Form W-2 or other reasonably acceptable evidence of such withholding. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld by the Rights Agent from any Covered Milestone Payments, the Rights Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, deliver such amounts to Parent for the purposes of remitting such amounts to the IRS. In no event shall the Rights Agent have any duty, obligation or responsibility for wage or W-2 reporting with respect to Milestone Payments (including Covered Milestone Payments) made to the Holders.

(d) 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 twelve (12) months after the date of the applicable Milestone Notice shall be delivered by the Rights Agent to Parent upon demand, and such Holders shall thereafter look to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Milestone Payments that such Holder may be entitled hereunder.

(e) Neither Parent, the Rights Agent nor any of their Affiliates shall 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 Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) 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 hereto intend to treat, for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, (i) the CVRs and the Milestone Payments received with respect to the Company Shares

pursuant to the Merger Agreement as additional consideration for the Company Shares and (ii) Milestone Payments paid in respect of each CVR that was received with respect to a Covered Equity Award pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Covered Milestone Payments”), and not the receipt of such CVR, as wages in the year in which the applicable Milestone Payment is made. Parent shall (and shall instruct the Rights Agent to) report for all Tax purposes in a manner consistent with the foregoing, including by instructing the Rights Agent to deliver to applicable Holders IRS Forms 1099-B with respect to the receipt of Milestone Payments (other than Covered Milestone Payments), and none of the parties hereto 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 applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall, and shall instruct the Rights Agent and cause the Surviving Corporation to, report imputed interest with respect to the CVRs and the Milestone Payments pursuant to Section 483 of the Code.

2.5. No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest.

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

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

2.6. 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. Nothing in this Agreement shall 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 shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding for purposes of the definition of Acting Holders and Article 5 and Article 6.

3.	THE RIGHTS AGENT

3.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) Parent hereby 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 shall 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 hereunder. The Rights Agent shall 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) shall furnish the Rights Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses that may be incurred, but this provision shall 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 shall be brought in its name as the Rights Agent and any recovery in connection therewith shall be for the proportionate benefit of all the Holders, as their respective rights or interests may appear.

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 shall 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 shall 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 shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Rights Agent may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate, which certificate shall be full authorization and protection to the Rights Agent, and the Rights Agent shall, 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 shall be full and complete authorization and protection and shall be held harmless by Parent in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

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

(e) the Rights Agent shall 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 shall not be liable for or by reason of, and shall 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 shall be deemed to have been made by Parent only;

(g) the Rights Agent shall have no liability and shall be held harmless by Parent in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent and the enforceability of this Agreement against the Rights Agent assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by Parent); nor shall 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 shall 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 hereunder 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 hereof, and (ii) to reimburse the Rights Agent for all Taxes and governmental charges, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and other 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 and franchise or similar Taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income Taxes)). The Rights Agent shall 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 hereunder;

(k) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent shall 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; and

(l) no provision of this Agreement shall 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 hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

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 shall take effect, which notice shall be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified but in no event shall 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 shall take effect but no such removal shall become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4. Notice of such removal shall be given by Parent to the Rights Agent, which notice shall be sent at least sixty (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 shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable, appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent who shall be a stock transfer agent of national reputation or the corporate trust department of a commercial bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Parent shall fail to make such appointment within a period of sixty (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 shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4, become the successor Rights Agent.

(c) Parent shall 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 shall include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Parent fails to send such notice within ten (10) Business Days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent shall cause the notice to be transmitted at the expense of Parent. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 3.3, however, shall 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.

3.4. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Rights Agent appointed hereunder shall 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, shall 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 shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to the successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent.

4.	COVENANTS

4.1. List of Holders.

(a) Parent shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Rights Agent, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent, and received from the Paying Agent (or in the case of Holders who held Covered Equity Awards, the Company), the names and addresses of the Holders promptly upon the Acceptance Time or the Effective Time, as applicable.

(b) Within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Rights Agent of a written request by any two (2) or more Holders stating such Holders’ desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Agreement, and accompanied by a form of proxy or other communication which the requesting Holders propose to transmit, the Rights Agent shall elect to either (i) deliver to such requesting Holders all information in the possession or control of the Rights Agent as to the names and addresses of all Holders, or (ii) inform such requesting Holders of the approximate number of Holders and the approximate cost of mailing or otherwise transmitting to all Holders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such written request. In the event the Rights Agent elects to provide the information specified in Section 4.1(b)(ii), the Rights Agent shall, upon the written request of the requesting Holders, mail or otherwise transmit to all Holders copies of the applicable form of proxy or other communication within five (5) Business Days after the requesting Holders have provided to the Rights Agent the material to be mailed or otherwise transmitted and payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of such mailing or transmission.

4.2. Payment of Milestone Payments. If a Milestone has been achieved in accordance with this Agreement, Parent shall, promptly (but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days) following the delivery of the Milestone Notice, deposit with the Rights Agent, for payment to the Holders in accordance with Section 2.4, the Applicable Milestone Amount in cash.

4.3. Books and Records. Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, keep true, complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the calculation of Net Sales in any applicable Measurement Period.

4.4. 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.

4.5. Notice and Audit Rights.

(a) If the Net Sales Milestone has not been achieved with respect to the 2028 Measurement Period, Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent, within sixty (60) days following the last day of the 2028 Measurement Period, a written notice indicating that the Net Sales Milestone was not achieved during the 2028 Measurement Period (the “2028 Non-Achievement Notice”), as well as the Net Sales Statement for such Measurement Period and an Officer’s Certificate making a certification to that effect. The Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the 2028 Non-Achievement Notice, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of the 2028 Non-Achievement Notice and the Net Sales Statement for such Measurement Period.

(b) If the Net Sales Milestone has not been achieved with respect to the 2028 Measurement Period and the Net Sales Milestone has also not been achieved with respect to the 2028–29 Measurement Period, Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent, within sixty (60) days following the last day of the 2028–29 Measurement Period, a written notice (the “Expiry Notice”) indicating that the Net Sales Milestone was not achieved during the 2028–29 Measurement Period, as well as the Net Sales Statement for such Measurement Period and an Officer’s Certificate making a certification to that effect. The Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Expiry Notice, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of the Expiry Notice and the Net Sales Statement for such Measurement Period.

(c) Upon the written request of the Acting Holders provided to Parent within the three (3) month period following the date on which Parent delivers the 2028 Non-Achievement Notice or the Expiry Notice and the applicable Net Sales Statement (the “Review Request Period”), Parent shall permit one (1) 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 Net Sales as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate and verify Parent’s determination that the Net Sales Milestone was not achieved during the applicable

Measurement Period; provided that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of Parent or any of its Affiliates. Any fees charged by the Independent Accountant shall be borne by the Acting Holders unless the Independent Accountant determines that Parent’s determination that the Net Sales Milestone was not achieved during the applicable Measurement Period was erroneous, in which case such fees shall be borne by Parent.

(d) No later than thirty (30) days following access to such books and records of Parent and its Affiliates as described in Section 4.5(c), the Independent Accountant shall deliver a written report to Parent and the Acting Holders of its findings regarding Parent’s determination that the Net Sales Milestone was not achieved during the applicable Measurement Period. The Independent Accountant shall disclose to the Acting Holders only its conclusion as to Parent’s determination that the Net Sales Milestone was not achieved during the applicable Measurement Period and such additional information directly related to its conclusion. The Independent Accountant shall provide Parent with a copy of all disclosures made to the Acting Holders.

(e) If the Independent Accountant concludes that Parent’s determination that the Net Sales Milestone was not achieved during the applicable Measurement Period was erroneous, then, within thirty (30) days of receipt by Parent of such finding, Parent may commence a Legal Proceeding to adjudicate whether the Net Sales Milestone was achieved during the applicable Measurement Period in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 7.6. If Parent fails to commence such a Legal Proceeding within such thirty (30) day period, the Independent Accountant’s conclusion shall be final and binding.

(f) In the event the Acting Holders properly request a review by the Independent Accountant with respect to the Net Sales Milestone in accordance with Section 4.5(c), the applicable Milestone Payment (or portion thereof) shall not become due and payable (for purposes of Section 6.1(a) or otherwise hereunder), if at all, unless and until (i) the Independent Accountant’s conclusion becomes final and binding in accordance with this Section 4.5 or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final, non-appealable judgment that such amount is properly payable hereunder.

(g) If, upon the expiration of the Review Request Period with respect to any Measurement Period, the Acting Holders have not requested a review in accordance with this Section 4.5, Parent’s determination that the Net Sales Milestone was not achieved during such Measurement Period shall be final and binding, and there shall be no further review or remedy allowed relating to the Net Sales Milestone with respect to such Measurement Period.

(h) Each person seeking to receive information from Parent (including the Independent Accountant) in connection with a review pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall 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 4.5 (including any information provided to any such person by the Independent Accountant) in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

(i) Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any license or similar agreement with any Selling Entity (other than Parent or its Affiliates) with respect to rights to develop or commercialize the Products, or any purchase, sale, merger, exclusive license or similar agreement with any Purchaser, in each case, unless such agreement contains provisions that (i) require such Purchaser to provide records of Net Sales to Parent to allow Parent to comply with the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) would allow any Independent Accountant appointed pursuant to this Section 4.5 such access to the records of the other party to such agreement as may be reasonably necessary to perform its duties pursuant to this Section 4.5.

(j) The audit rights set forth in this Section 4.5 may not be exercised by the Acting Holders more than once with respect to the non-achievement of the Net Sales Milestone in each of the 2028 Measurement Period and the 2028–29 Measurement Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the audit rights set forth in this Section 4.5 shall not apply to the FDA Approval Milestone or the Clinical Recommendation Milestone.

4.6. Efforts. With respect to each of (a) the STEMI Recommendation Milestone and the FDA Approval Milestone, (b) the HRPCI Milestone and (c) the Cardiogenic Shock Milestone, Parent will expend at least the respective amounts set forth on Annex A towards the achievement of such Milestone(s) (including completion of the applicable clinical trial related to such Milestone(s)) (the “Budgeted Amounts”); provided that Parent shall not be required to expend the applicable Budgeted Amount upon any of the following events occurring with respect to the applicable Milestone(s): (i) Parent determines to suspend or terminate the clinical protocol or study contemplated by such Milestone(s) because an unanticipated device adverse effect presents an unreasonable risk to the subjects of such clinical protocol or study; (ii) the Data and Safety Monitoring Board recommends that the clinical protocol or study contemplated by such Milestone(s) be suspended or terminated due to safety concerns or futility; (iii) the FDA determines to suspend the clinical protocol or study contemplated by such Milestone(s); or (iv) the clinical protocol or study contemplated by such Milestone(s) is otherwise prohibited by applicable Law. Subject to the foregoing sentence in this Section 4.6, (A) Parent and its Affiliates shall have the right, in their sole and absolute discretion, to direct and control the development, marketing, commercialization and sale of the Products in all respects and (B) Parent and its Affiliates shall not otherwise be required (expressly or implicitly) to achieve or undertake any level of efforts, or employ any level of resources, to develop, market, commercialize or sell the Products or achieve the Milestones.

5.	AMENDMENTS

5.4. Effect of Amendments. Upon the execution of any amendment under this Section 5, this Agreement shall be modified in accordance therewith, such amendment shall form a part of this Agreement for all purposes and every Holder shall be bound thereby.

6.	REMEDIES OF THE HOLDERS

6.1. Event of Default. “Event of Default” with respect to the CVRs, means each one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of Law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority):

(a) default in the payment by Parent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement of all or any part of any Milestone Payment after a period of five (5) Business Days after such Milestone Payment shall become due and payable; or

(b) material default in the performance, or breach in any material respect, of any covenant or warranty of Parent hereunder (other than a payment default described in clause (a)), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of thirty (30) days after a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied is given, which written notice states that it is a “Notice of Default” hereunder and is sent by registered or certified mail to Parent and the Rights Agent by the Acting Holders.

If an Event of Default described above occurs and is continuing (and has not been cured or waived), then, and in each and every such case, the Acting Holders, following notice in writing to Parent and the Rights Agent, may, in their discretion and at their own expense, commence a Legal Proceeding to protect the rights of the Holders, or may direct the Rights Agent to commence a Legal Proceeding to protect the rights of the Holders in accordance with Section 3.1(b), in each case, including to obtain payment for any amounts then due and payable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, damages directly resulting from and in the event of an Event of Default shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any and all Holders for any claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the CVRs, or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.2. Suits by Holders. Except for the express rights of the Rights Agent set forth herein, including as set forth in Section 3.1(b), the Acting Holders will have the sole right, on behalf of all Holders, by virtue of or under any provision of this Agreement, to institute a Legal Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, and no individual Holder or other group of Holders, nor the Rights Agent on behalf thereof, will be entitled to exercise such rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an insolvency proceeding of Parent, individual Holders shall be entitled to assert claims in such insolvency proceeding and take related actions in pursuit of such claims with respect to any payment that may be claimed by or on behalf of Parent or by any creditor of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the right of any Holder of any CVR to receive payment of the amounts that a Milestone Notice indicates are payable in respect of such CVR on or after the applicable due date shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Any such Assignee may thereafter assign, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to one or more additional Assignees which agree to assume and be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that in connection with any assignment to an Assignee, Parent (or the other assignor) shall agree to remain liable for the performance by each Assignee (and such other assignor, if applicable) of all covenants, agreements and obligations of Parent hereunder, with such Assignee substituted for Parent under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Parent’s successors and each Assignee. Subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3 relating to assignments, this Agreement shall not restrict Parent’s, any Assignee’s or any of their respective successors’ 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. Each of Parent’s successors and each Assignee shall, by a supplemental contingent consideration payment agreement or other acknowledgement executed and delivered to the Rights Agent, expressly assume payment of amounts on all of the CVRs and the performance of every obligation, agreement and covenant of this Agreement on the part of Parent to be performed or observed. Unless a successor or assignee meets the requirements set forth in Section 3.3(b), the Rights Agent may not assign this Agreement without Parent’s written consent. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any such rights in violation of this Section 7.3 shall be void and of no effect.

7.4. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any Person (other than the Rights Agent and its permitted successors and assigns, Parent, Parent’s successors and Assignees, and the Holders and the Holders’ successors and assigns pursuant to Permitted Transfers, each of whom is intended to be, and is, a third party beneficiary hereunder) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the Rights Agent and its permitted successors and assigns, Parent, Parent’s successors and Assignees, and the Holders and the Holders’ successors and assigns pursuant to Permitted Transfers. The rights hereunder of the Holders and their successors and assigns pursuant to Permitted Transfers are limited to those expressly provided in this Agreement, and any exercise of such rights by the Holders or their successors and assigns pursuant to Permitted Transfers shall be subject, in all cases, to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, including Sections 7.6 and 7.7.

7.5. Governing Law. This Agreement, including any claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the CVRs, or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law 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.

7.6. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 7.1 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, and nothing in this Section 7.6 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (b) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any action or proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept or does not have jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal or other state court sitting in New Castle County within the State of Delaware) in the event any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof; (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (d) agrees that any actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept or does not have jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal or other state court sitting in New Castle County within the State of Delaware); (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (f) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

7.7. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATION OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

7.8. Severability. In the event that any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. 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 a mutually acceptable manner in order for the economic, business and other purposes hereof to be effected as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

7.9. Termination. This Agreement shall be terminated and of no force or effect, the parties hereto shall have no liability hereunder (other than with respect to monies due and owing by Parent to the Rights Agent), and no payments shall be required to be made, upon the earliest to occur of (a) the conclusion of all of the Clinical Recommendation Milestone Periods, the FDA Approval Milestone Period and the Measurement Periods and the mailing by the Rights Agent to the address of each Holder as reflected in the CVR Register (or payment by wire transfer, as applicable) of any Milestone Payments required to be paid under the terms of this Agreement and (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such termination shall affect any rights or obligations accrued prior to the effective date of such termination or Sections 2.4(e), 3.2, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.10, 7.11, 7.13, 7.14 or this Section 7.9, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent.

7.10. Entire Agreement. As it relates to the Rights Agent, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. As between Parent and the Company, this Agreement, the Merger Agreement (including any schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto) and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties to the Merger Agreement as contemplated by or referred to in the Merger Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Annexes thereto, and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. If and to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent or conflicts with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and be controlling.

7.11. 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 its 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.

7.12. 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 shall remain confidential, and shall 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 or Nasdaq rules and regulations, or pursuant to subpoenas from state or federal government authorities (e.g., in divorce and criminal actions).

7.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, 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 party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission, including by e-mail attachment, shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
