The Surviving Corporation shall pay

The Converted Cash Award shall be eligible to vest based on the same time-based vesting schedule as applied to the applicable Company Restricted Stock Unit Award from which it was converted and shall otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to corresponding Company Restricted Stock Unit Award immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, excluding any terms rendered inoperative by reason of this Section 2.10(b) or the Transactions and for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the Converted Cash Award.

At the Company Merger Effective Time, each unvested Company Restricted Stock Unit Award held by a non-employee director of the Company that is outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any outstanding Company Restricted Stock Unit Award granted on May 4, 2023 to a non-employee director of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such award granted to Carey Chen in his capacity as a non-employee director) remains unvested immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, such award shall vest in full on the Company Merger Effective Time, with the holder of such Company Restricted Stock Unit Award becoming entitled to receive an amount in cash, less applicable Tax withholdings, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Per Share Price by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock covered by such award immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time.

(d)Performance Vested Company Performance Stock Unit Awards. At the Company Merger Effective Time, each Company Performance Stock Unit Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time and that has satisfied the applicable performance vesting criteria associated with such Company Performance Stock Unit Award (or applicable portion thereof) as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, a Converted Cash Award with respect to an amount in cash, without interest and less applicable Tax withholdings, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Per Share Price by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock covered by such

35

Company Performance Stock Unit Award with respect to which the applicable performance vesting criteria has been satisfied immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time. The Converted Cash Award shall vest based on the same time-based vesting schedule as applied to the applicable Company Performance Stock Unit Award (or applicable portion thereof) from which it was converted and shall otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Company Performance Stock Unit Award (or applicable portion thereof) immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, excluding any terms rendered inoperative by reason of this Section 2.10(d) or the Transactions and for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the Converted Cash Award.

If a Registered Holder (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) properly exercises a Company Warrant within thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the consummation of the Company Merger pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, the Warrant Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) with respect to such exercise shall be reduced by an amount (in dollars) equal to the difference of (i) the Warrant Price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Price (but in no event less than zero) minus

(B) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) (such adjustment, the “Warrant Adjustment”).

2.11Treatment of Employee Stock Purchase Plan. With respect to the Company ESPP, as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, the committee administering the Company ESPP) will adopt resolutions and take all other actions as may be required to provide that (i) no new participants will commence participation in the Company ESPP after the date of this Agreement; (ii) no participant in the Company ESPP as of the date of this Agreement will be allowed to increase his or her payroll contribution rate or purchase elections from those in effect as of the date of this Agreement or make separate non-

2.12Exchange of Shares.

(a)Payment Agent. Prior to the Closing, Parent will (i) select a transfer agent or such other bank or trust company, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as the payment agent for the Company Merger (the “Payment Agent”) and (ii) enter into a payment agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, with such Payment Agent.

(b)Exchange Fund. At or prior to the Closing, Parent will deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which such holders of Company Common Stock become entitled pursuant to Section 2.9(a) (the “Exchange Fund”). To the extent that the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by Section 2.9(a), Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the amount of cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times fully available for distribution and maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment Agent to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.9(a). Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs.

(c)Payment Procedures.

(i)With respect to shares of Company Class A Common Stock held, directly or indirectly, through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), Parent and the Company will cooperate to establish procedures with the Payment Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries to ensure that the Payment Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as promptly as practicable after the Company Merger Effective Time, upon surrender of shares of Company Class A Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares and Owned Company Shares) (the “Subject Shares”) held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed by Parent, the Company, the Payment Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries, the Per Share Price to which the beneficial owners thereof are entitled to receive as a result of the Company Merger pursuant to this Article II.

(ii)Upon surrender to the Payment Agent of Subject Shares that (A) are not held through DTC, by book receipt of an “agent’s message” in customary form by the Payment Agent in connection with the surrender of Subject Shares (or such other evidence,

37

if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) and (B) are Subject Shares held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed to by the Company, Parent, the Payment Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries, the holder of such Subject Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Payment Agent to deliver to each such holder, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Company Merger Effective Time, by wire transfer or a check in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of Subject Shares represented by such holder’s transferred Subject Shares; by (2) the Per Share Price (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof), and the transferred Subject Shares so surrendered will be cancelled. The Payment Agent will accept such Subject Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Subject Shares on the Per Share Price payable upon the surrender of such Subject Shares pursuant to this Section 2.12(c). Until so surrendered, outstanding Subject Shares will be deemed from and after the Company Merger Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the Per Share Price, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.9.

(d)Transfers of Ownership. From and after the Company Merger Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time. If, after the Company Merger Effective Time, any acceptable evidence of a share of Company Common Stock is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Payment Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately- available funds to which the holder thereof is entitled to receive as a result of the Company Merger pursuant to this Article II.

(e)No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Party will be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f)Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock on the date that is one year after the Company Merger Effective Time will be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of record of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger who have not theretofore surrendered or transferred their shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to this Section 2.12 will thereafter look for payment of the Per Share Price payable in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), solely as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.9. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of record of any such shares of Company Common Stock two years after the Company Merger Effective Time, or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority, will, to the extent

38

permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders (and their successors, assigns or personal representatives) previously entitled thereto.

2.13No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Company Merger Effective Time, (a) all shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist; and (b) each holder of any shares of Company Common Stock will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Price (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof) payable therefor, if applicable, in accordance with Section 2.9, or in the case of Dissenting Shares, the rights pursuant to Section 2.9(c). Upon payment in accordance with the terms of this Article II, the Per Share Price will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Company Merger Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Company Merger Effective Time. If, after the Company Merger Effective Time, shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they will (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 2.12(c)) be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.14Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent will issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Price (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof) payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.9. Parent or the Payment Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Price, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.15Required Withholding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation will be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Warrants or Company Equity Awards, or any other applicable Person, such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom pursuant to any Tax Laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to, or timely deposited with, the applicable Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

2.16No Dividends or Distributions. No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Corporation with a record date on or after the Company Merger Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any Subject Shares.

2.17Necessary Further Actions. If, at any time after the Company Merger Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights,

39

privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and the Merger Subs, then the directors and officers of the Company and Company Merger Sub and the managing member of LLC Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time will take all such lawful and necessary action.

have not been terminated, reduced, withdrawn or rescinded in any respect and no such termination, reduction, withdrawal or rescission is contemplated.

Guarantor has uncalled capital commitments or otherwise has available funds in excess of the sum of the aggregate amount of the Commitments (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) plus the aggregate amount of all other binding commitments and obligations such Guarantor currently has outstanding.

74

amount of the “fair saleable value” of the present assets (measured on a going concern basis) of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not be less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as such liabilities become absolute and matured in the ordinary course of business; (ii) the present assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, at a fair valuation (measured on a going concern basis), will not be less than their liabilities (including the probable amount of all contingent liabilities), taken as a whole; (iii) the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which they are engaged or proposed to be engaged as of such date; and (iv) Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not have incurred liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, beyond their ability to pay such liabilities as they mature or become due in the ordinary course of business.

From the Agreement Date until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Company Merger Effective Time, the Company will

(c)No Change in Company Board Recommendation or Entry into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Except as provided by Section 5.3(d), at no time after the Agreement Date, and prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, may the Company Board or the Special Committee:

(i)(A) withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify, the Company Board Recommendation, in each case, in a manner adverse to Parent (it being understood that it shall be considered a modification adverse to Parent if (1) any Acquisition Proposal structured as a tender or exchange offer is commenced and the Company Board fails to publicly recommend against acceptance of such tender or exchange offer by the Company Stockholders within ten (10) Business Days of commencement thereof pursuant to Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act or (2) any Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced (other than by the commencement of a tender or exchange offer) and the Company Board fails to issue a public press release within ten (10) Business Days of such public announcement reaffirming the Company Board Recommendation or stating that the Company Board

82

Recommendation has not been changed); (B) adopt, authorize, approve, endorse, or otherwise declare advisable (or propose to adopt, authorize, approve, endorse, or otherwise declare advisable) an Acquisition Proposal; (C) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within three (3) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing (it being understood that the Company will have no obligation to make such reaffirmation on more than two (2) occasions); (D) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; (E) take or fail to take any formal action or make or fail to make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender or exchange offer, other than a recommendation against such offer or a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication) (it being understood that the Company Board or the Special Committee may refrain from taking a position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer until the close of business on the 10th Business Day after the commencement of a tender or exchange offer in connection with such Acquisition Proposal without such action being considered a violation of this Section 5.3;) or (F) formally resolve to effect, publicly announce an intention or resolution to, or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any action described in clauses (A) through (F), a “Company Board Recommendation Change”); provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, none of (1) a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board or the Special Committee to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication) or (2) the delivery by the Company to Parent of any notice contemplated by Section 5.3(d), will constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change; or

(ii)cause or permit the Company Group to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(d)Company Board Recommendation Change; Entry into Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval:

(i)the Company Board or the Special Committee may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change of the type described in clauses (A), (C) and

83

recommendation of the Special Committee, or the Special Committee, as applicable, determine in good faith based on the information then available (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law and if and only if:

(A)the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least five (5) Business Days (the “Event Notice Period”) in advance to the effect that the Company Board or the Special Committee, as applicable, intends to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 5.3(d)(i), which notice will specify the basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change, including a description of the Intervening Event in reasonable detail;

(B)the Company Group and its Representatives have complied with the requirements of and their obligations under, and not violated the provisions of, this Section 5.3;

(C)prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company and its Representatives, during such Event Notice Period, must have (1) negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent desires to so negotiate) to allow Parent to offer such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter to obviate the need to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change for the Company Board (including the Special Committee) to comply with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law, in response to such Intervening Event and (2) taken into account any adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter proposed by Parent and other information provided by Parent in response to the notice described in Section 5.3(d)(i)(A), in each case, that are offered in writing by Parent, no later than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on the last day of the Event Notice Period; and

(D)following such Event Notice Period, the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, or the Special Committee, as applicable, (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account Parent’s proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter) shall have determined in good faith based on the information then available that the failure of the Company Board or the Special Committee, as applicable, to make such a Company Board Recommendation Change would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; provided that each time material modifications to the Intervening Event occur, the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(d)(i)(D) with respect to such new written notice (it being understood that the “Event Notice Period” in respect of such new written notice will be three

(3) Business Days).

(ii)if the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn, and that the Company Board, acting upon the

84

recommendation of the Special Committee, or the Special Committee has concluded in good faith based on the information then available (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) is a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board or the Special Committee, as applicable, may (x) effect a Company Board Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal; or (y) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company Board and the Special Committee shall not take any action described in the foregoing clauses (x) or (y) unless:

(A)the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, or the Special Committee, as applicable, determine in good faith based on the information then available (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law;

(B)the Company Group and its Representatives have complied with the requirements of and their obligations under, and not violated the provisions of, this Section 5.3;

(C)(1) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days in advance (the “Proposal Notice Period”) to the effect that the Company Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, or the Special Committee, as applicable, has (I) received a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn; (II) concluded in good faith based on the information then available that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and (III) resolved to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section5.3(d)(ii) absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which notice will specify the basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change or termination, including the identity of the Person or “group” of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal, the material terms thereof and copies of all relevant documents relating to such Acquisition Proposal; and (2) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change or termination, the Company and its Representatives, during the Proposal Notice Period, must have (I) negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent desires to so negotiate) to offer such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; (II) taken into account any adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter proposed by Parent and other information provided by Parent during the Proposal Notice Period, in each case, that are offered in writing by Parent, no later than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on the last day of the Proposal Notice Period; and (III) permitted Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board or the Special Committee, as applicable, regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent Parent requests to make such a presentation); provided,

85

(D)following such Proposal Notice Period, including any subsequent Proposal Notice Period as provided in the final proviso of the foregoing Section 5.3(d)(ii)(C), the Company Board or the Special Committee, as applicable, (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account Parent’s proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter and any other information provided by Parent) shall have determined that the failure of the Company Board or the Special Committee, as applicable, to make such a Company Board Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; and

(E)in the event of any termination of this Agreement in order to cause or permit the Company Group to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, the Company will have validly terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(h), including paying the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3(b)(iii).

(e)Notice. The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight

(48) hours) notify Parent in writing if the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives receives any Inquiry or offer or proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, or any material revisions to the terms and conditions of any pending Acquisition Proposals, including the identity of the Person making such Inquiry, Acquisition Proposal, offer or proposal, a summary of the material terms and conditions and copies of any written materials and documents relating thereto provided to the Company or its Representatives.

The Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality or other agreement subsequent to the Agreement Date which prohibits the Company from complying with this Section 5.3(e).

(f)Certain Disclosures. Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the Company or the Company Board or the Special Committee from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including a “stop, look and

If the Company determines that it is required to file any document other than the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 with the SEC in connection with the Mergers pursuant to applicable Law (such document, as amended or supplemented, an “Other Required Company Filing”), then the Company will promptly prepare and file such Other Required Company Filing with the SEC. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement, the Schedule 13E-3 (as to the Company) and any Other Required Company Filing to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC and the NYSE.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that on the date of filing, the date of mailing to the Company Stockholders (if applicable) and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, none of the Proxy Statement, Schedule 13E-3 or any Other Required Company Filing will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement is made by the Company with respect to any information supplied by Parent, the Merger Subs or any of their Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement, Schedule 13E-3 or any Other Required Company Filing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the information supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference

88

in any Other Required Parent Filings will not, at the time that such Other Required Parent Filing is filed with the SEC, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

If Parent, the Merger Subs or any of their respective Affiliates determines that it is required to file any document with the SEC other than the Schedule 13E-3 in connection with the Mergers or the Company Stockholder Meeting pursuant to applicable Law (an “Other Required Parent Filing”), then Parent and the Merger Subs will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, promptly prepare and file such Other Required Parent Filing with the SEC. Parent and the Merger Subs will cause, and will cause their respective Affiliates to cause, the Schedule 13E-3 (as to the Parent and the Merger Subs) and any Other Required Parent Filing to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC. Neither Parent or Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates may file any Other Required Parent Filing (or any amendment thereto) with the SEC without first providing the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and Parent will give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company or its counsel. Parent and the Merger Subs shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to ensure that on the date of filing, the date of mailing to the Company Stockholders (if applicable) and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, none of the Schedule 13E-3 or any Other Required Parent Filing will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement is made by Parent or the Merger Subs with respect to any information supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 13E-3 or any Other Required Parent Filing. Parent and the Merger Subs shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to ensure that the information supplied by Parent, the Merger Subs and their respective Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement, the Schedule 13E-3 or any Other Required Company Filing will not, at the time that the Proxy Statement, the Schedule 13E-3 or such Other Required Company Filing is filed with the SEC, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and the Merger Subs, on the other hand, will, as promptly as practicable, use reasonable best efforts to furnish all information concerning it and its Affiliates, if applicable, as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement, the Schedule 13E-3 and any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Parent Filing. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting or any such filing, any information relating to the Company Group, Parent, the Merger Subs or any of their respective Affiliates should be discovered by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or the Merger Subs, on the other hand, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Schedule 13E-3 any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Parent Filing, as the case may be, so that such filing would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,

89

in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Party that discovers such information will promptly notify the other, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to such filing describing such information will be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC by the appropriate Party (with assistance from the other Party or Parties as appropriate and consistent with this Section 6.2) and, to the extent required by applicable Law or the SEC or its staff, disseminated to the Company Stockholders.

The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and the Merger Subs, on the other hand, will advise the other, and supply the other with copies of, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of (i) any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for any amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement, Schedule 13E-3, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Parent Filing, as the case may be, (ii) any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement, Schedule 13E-3, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Parent Filing, as the case may be, or (iii) any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith. Without limiting the application of Section 6.2(f), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to as promptly as practicable, and resolve, any comments or requests from the SEC or its staff.

(h)Dissemination of Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3. Subject to applicable Law, the Company will cause the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following confirmation from the SEC that it will not review, or that it has completed its review of, the Proxy Statement, which confirmation will be deemed to occur if the SEC has not affirmatively notified the Company prior to the tenth calendar day after filing the Proxy Statement that the SEC will or will not be reviewing the Proxy Statement (and, in any event within five (5) Business Days following the confirmation or deemed confirmation from the SEC referred to above).

(i)Warrant Adjustment and Exercise. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (i) to take (or cause to be taken) all actions, (ii) do (or cause to be done) all things and

(iii) assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing (or causing to be done) all things, in each case as are necessary, proper or advisable to effectuate the Warrant Adjustment and any exercise of Company Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement promptly after the Closing, including by (A) preparing communications to inform holders of the Company Warrants of the Warrant Adjustment and (B) coordinating with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent of the Company Warrants, to disseminate such communications, receive and process the exercise of any Company Warrants and disburse funds to holders of such Company Warrants in each case in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement and the Company Warrants. The Company may not file or disseminate any materials to holders of the

90

Company Warrants without providing Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the other Parties and their respective counsel.

6.3Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a)Call of Company Stockholder Meeting. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will cause a “broker search” to be conducted in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act within five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement and will promptly take all action necessary in accordance with the DGCL, the Charter, the Bylaws and the rules of the NYSE to establish a record date for (and the Company will not change the record date without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)), duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company Stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Subject to Section 5.3 and unless there has been a Company Board Recommendation Change in compliance with Section 5.3, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Without the prior written consent of Parent, obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval and adjournment shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.3(a) shall be deemed to terminate, waive or otherwise limit the rights of CORE or its Affiliated Companies (in each case, as defined in the Charter) to call a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Charter and the Bylaws.

(b)Adjournment of Company Stockholder Meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may (and, if requested by Parent, shall) postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting if (i) there are holders of an insufficient number of shares of the Company Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Stockholder Meeting, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for any supplemental or additional disclosure required to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders to be so disseminated and reviewed by the Company Stockholders, (iii) the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by applicable Law, order or a request from the SEC or its staff or (iv) to allow additional solicitation of votes, if proxies granted by the time of time of the Company Stockholder Meeting are insufficient to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval; provided that in no event shall the Company postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting more than two times pursuant to clauses (i) or (iv) or for an aggregate period of time in excess of thirty (30) days from the date on which the Company Stockholder Meeting was originally scheduled, in each case without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event that the date of the Company Stockholder Meeting as originally called is for any reason adjourned or postponed or otherwise delayed, the Company agrees that, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), it shall use reasonable best efforts to implement such adjournment or postponement or other delay in such a way that the Company does not establish a new record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting, as so adjourned, postponed or delayed, except as required by applicable Law. Unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, the Company

91

will submit this Agreement and the Mergers to the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting even if the Company Board or the Special Committee has effected a Company Board Recommendation Change.

6.4Financing.

(a)On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to:

(i)maintain in effect the Equity Commitment Letter;

(ii)satisfy on a timely basis (taking into account the anticipated timing of the Closing) all conditions applicable to (and within control of) Parent in the Equity Commitment Letter;

(iii)comply with its material payment obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms; and

(iv)enforce its rights pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with the provisions of the Equity Commitment Letter and this Agreement.

(b)On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Merger Subs will not effect or permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver by Parent of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Equity Commitment Letter, in each case, except as otherwise permitted by the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter.

(c)Parent and the Merger Subs shall give the Company prompt notice of, and keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of, (i) any actual or potential material breach, material default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Equity Commitment Letter of which Parent or a Merger Sub becomes aware, including the receipt of any written notice with respect thereto, and (ii) the occurrence of an event or development that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impact the ability of Parent or the Merger Subs to obtain all or a portion of the Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 6.4 will require, and in no event will the reasonable best efforts of Parent be deemed or construed to require Parent to (i) bring any enforcement action against any source of the Equity Financing to enforce its rights pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter (it being understood that Parent will seek to enforce, including by bringing suit for specific performance, the Equity Commitment Letter if the Company seeks and is granted a decree of specific performance of the obligation to consummate the Mergers); or (ii) seek the Equity Financing from any source other than a counterparty to, or in any amount in excess of that contemplated by, the Equity Commitment Letter.

6.5Intentionally Omitted.

6.6Anti-Takeover Laws. Each of Parent and the Company and the Company Board (and any committee empowered to take such action, if applicable) will (a) take all actions within

92

their power to ensure that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the Transactions; and (b) if any Takeover Statute becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other Transactions, take all action within their power to ensure that the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Mergers and the other Transactions.

6.7Access. At all times during the Interim Period, the Company will afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the properties, books and records and personnel of the Company Group, except that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (a) any applicable Law or Contract requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information; (b) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other privilege applicable to such documents or information; (c) access to a Contract to which any Company Group Member is a party or otherwise bound would violate or cause a material default pursuant to, or give a third Person the right terminate or accelerate the rights pursuant to, such Contract; (d) access would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of Third Persons or (e) such documents or information are related to Legal Proceedings between the Company or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates (including Guarantor) on the other hand; provided that (in the case of clauses (a) through (d) only), the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents and thereafter the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent to allow the disclosure of such information (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that would not violate any of clauses (a) through (d). Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.7 will be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company Group. Any access to the properties of the Company Group will be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and will not include the right to perform invasive testing.

6.8Section 16(b) Exemption. During the Interim Period, the Company will take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Mergers, and any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the Mergers by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company to be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.9Directors’ and Officers’ Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)From and after the Company Merger Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and each Person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the request of or for the benefit of any Company Group Member (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) in connection with any D&O Claim and any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement (including all interest,

93

assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof) and out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and all other out-of-pocket costs relating to or resulting from such D&O Claim. In addition, from and after the Company Merger Effective Time, each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall advance costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) as incurred by any Covered Person in connection with any D&O Claim after receipt by Parent of a written request for such advance to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined (after exhausting all available appeals) that such Person is not entitled to indemnification. Any Covered Person wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.9, upon learning of any claim, action or proceeding in respect of which such indemnification will be sought, shall notify Parent thereof in writing.

(b)For not less than six (6) years from and after the Company Merger Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, limitations on liability of Covered Persons, indemnification of and advancement of expenses to Covered Persons than are set forth as of the Agreement Date in the Charter and the Bylaws, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Following the Company Merger Effective Time, the indemnification Contracts, if any, in existence on the Agreement Date with any of the Covered Persons shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, without any further action, and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(c)Prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, the Company shall purchase (and pay in full the aggregate premium for) a six (6)-year prepaid “tail” insurance policy (which policy by its express terms shall survive the Merger) of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the covered individuals as the Company Group’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy or policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Company Merger Effective Time for D&O Claims arising from facts, acts, events or omissions that occurred on or prior to the Company Merger Effective Time; provided that the aggregate premium for such tail policy shall not exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the annual premium amount currently paid by the Company Group for such insurance (such amount being the “Maximum Premium”). If the Company fails to obtain such tail policy prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain such a tail policy; provided, however, that the premium for such tail policy shall not exceed the Maximum Premium; provided, further, that if such tail policy cannot be obtained or can be obtained only by paying aggregate annual premiums in excess of the Maximum Premium, Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall only be required to obtain as much coverage as can be obtained by paying an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause any such policy (whether obtained by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation) to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor all its obligations thereunder.

(d)In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) sells, transfers or otherwise conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provision shall be made so that such

94

continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets (and their respective successors and assigns), as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section6.9.

(e)The obligations under this Section 6.9 shall not be terminated or modified in any manner that is adverse to any Covered Persons (and their respective successors and assigns), it being expressly agreed that each Covered Person (including their respective successors and assigns) shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.9(e). In the event of any breach by the Surviving Corporation or Parent of this Section 6.9(e), the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by Covered Persons in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.9(e) as such fees are incurred, upon the written request of such Covered Person.

Parent and the Merger Subs will be jointly and severally liable for the failure by either of them to perform and discharge any of their respective covenants, agreements and obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

6.12Public Statements and Disclosure. The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the Mergers of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and the Merger Subs, on the other hand, will be a joint press release reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company.

8.2Manner and Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination.

(a)Manner of Termination. The Party terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 (other than pursuant to Section 8.1(a)) must deliver prompt written notice thereof to the other Parties setting forth in reasonable detail the provision of Section 8.1 pursuant to which this Agreement is being terminated.

(b)Effect of Termination. Any proper and valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 will be effective immediately upon the mutual written agreement of Parent and the Company or the delivery of written notice by the terminating Party to the other Parties, as applicable. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement will be of no further force or effect without liability of any Party (or any direct or indirect equity holder, controlling person, partner, member, manager, stockholder, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent or other Representative of such Party (including, with respect to Parent and the Merger Subs, any Non-Recourse Person) to the other Parties, as applicable, except that Section 6.12, this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article IX (other than Section 9.8(b)) will each survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 8.3(e), nothing in this Agreement will relieve any Party from any liability for fraud or any Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to its termination.

8.3Fees and Expenses.

(a)General. Except as set forth in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions will be paid by the Party incurring such fees and expenses whether or not the Mergers is consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent or the Surviving Corporation will be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Payment Agent.

(b)Company Payments.

102

(i)If (A) this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to (x) Section8.1(c) or (y) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e) (each, an “Applicable Termination”);

103

(B) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to an Applicable Termination, the Company has received an Acquisition Proposal or an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly made or disclosed and shall not have been publicly withdrawn; and (C) within twelve (12) months following such Applicable Termination, an Acquisition Transaction is consummated or the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition Transaction then the Company will, concurrently with the earlier of the execution of the definitive agreement and the consummation of such Acquisition Transaction, pay to Parent an amount equal to $813,771 (the “Company Termination Fee”), in accordance with the payment instructions which have been provided to the Company by Parent by written notice. For purposes of this Section 8.3(b)(i), all references to “20%” and “80%” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” will be deemed to be references to “50%.”

(ii)If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.1(f), then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) following such termination pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee in accordance with the payment instructions which have been provided to the Company by Parent by written notice.

(iii)If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(h), then the Company shall prior to or contemporaneously with such termination pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee in accordance with the payment instructions which have been provided to the Company by Parent by written notice.

(c)Single Payment Only; Liquidated Damages. Parent acknowledges and agrees that in no event will the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Company Termination Fee may be payable pursuant to more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and upon the occurrence of different events. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the Transactions; (ii) the damages resulting from the termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation; and (iii) without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Therefore, the Company Termination Fee, if, as and when required to be paid pursuant to this Section 8.3 will not constitute a penalty but rather liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Party receiving such amount in the circumstances in which it is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions.

(d)Integral. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the Merger, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to Section 8.3(a) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a Legal

104

Proceeding that results in a judgment against the Company for the amount set forth in Section8.3(a) then the Company will pay or cause to be paid to the other party the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) of Parent in connection with such Legal Proceeding, together with interest on such amount or portion thereof at an annual rate equal to the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal (or other authoritative source to the extent no such figure is published by The Wall Street Journal) on the date that such payment or portion thereof was required to be made) plus five percent through the date that such payment or portion thereof was actually received, or a lesser rate that is the maximum permitted by applicable Law (collectively, “Enforcement Expenses”).

(e)Sole and Exclusive Remedy.

(i)Subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.3(e)(i), if this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company’s right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.8(b) of any surviving provisions will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and the Company Related Parties against (A) Parent, the Merger Subs or the Guarantor or (B) the former, current and future holders of any equity, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders and assignees of each of Parent and the Merger Subs (the Persons in clauses (A) and (B) collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) in respect of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Mergers or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any breach, termination or failure. None of the Parent Related Parties will have any liability or obligation to any of (1) the Company and its Affiliates; and (2) the former, current and future holders of any equity, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders and assignees of each of the Company and its Affiliates (the Persons in clauses (1) and (2) collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby for any matters forming the basis of such termination (except that (x) the Parties (or their respective Affiliates) will remain obligated with respect to, and the Company may be entitled to remedies with respect to, Section 8.2 and Section8.3(a), as applicable, and (y) the Guarantor will remain obligated, and the Company may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms thereof). In no event will any of the Company Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages (other than pursuant to Section 8.3(a)), in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation, against the Parent Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including any breach by any Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Mergers or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure. In no event will any Parent Related Party other than the Guarantor (solely as and to the extent provided in the Equity Commitment Letter), Parent and Merger Sub have any liability for monetary damages to the Company or any other Company

105

Related Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.3(e)(i) will not relieve Parent from liability for any Willful Breach of this Agreement.

(ii)Subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.3(e)(ii), if this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, Parent’s receipt of the Company Termination Fee to the extent owed pursuant to Section 8.2(b), any Enforcement Expenses and Parent’s right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.8(b) will be the sole and exclusive remedies of Parent, the Merger Subs, the Guarantor and the Parent Related Parties against the Company Related Parties in respect of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Mergers or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any breach, termination or failure. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.3(e)(ii), upon payment of the Company Termination Fee to the extent owed pursuant to Section 8.3(b) and any Enforcement Expenses, none of the Company Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to the Parent Related Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any matters forming the basis of such termination (except that the Parties (or their Affiliates) will remain obligated with respect to, and Parent may be entitled to remedies with respect to, Section 8.2 and Section 8.3(a), as applicable). In no event will any of the Parent Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages (other than the Company Termination Fee (if payable), any Enforcement Expenses or pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable) against the Company Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement and any agreement executed in connection herewith and the transaction contemplated hereby and thereby (including any breach by the Company), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Mergers or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.3(e)(ii) will not relieve the Company Group from liability for any fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement.

(iii)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstances will the collective monetary damages payable by Parent, the Merger Subs or any of their Affiliates for breaches under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements exceed an amount equal to $3,906,103 in the aggregate for all such breaches (the “Parent Liability Limitation”). In no event will the Company or any Company Related Party seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or monetary award in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against Parent or any Parent Related Party, and in no event will the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be entitled to seek or obtain any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against Parent or any Parent Related Party for, or with respect to, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including any breach by Parent, Merger Subs or the Guarantor), the termination

106

of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Mergers or any claims or actions under applicable law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure. Other than the Guarantor’s obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter and other than the obligations of Parent and the Merger Subs under this Agreement and the Support Agreement, in no event will Parent, the Merger Subs, any of the Parent Related Parties or any other Person other than Parent, the Merger Subs or the Guarantor have any liability for monetary damages to the Company or any other Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Mergers.

(f)Acknowledgement Regarding Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.3(e), it is agreed that Parent, the Merger Subs and the Company will be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as provided in Section 9.8(a).

8.4Amendment. Subject to applicable Law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, the Merger Subs and the Company (pursuant to authorized action by the Company Board and the Special Committee), except that in the event that the Company has received the Requisite Stockholder Approval, no amendment may be made to this Agreement that requires the approval of the Company Stockholders pursuant to the DGCL without such approval.

8.5Extension; Waiver. At any time and from time to time prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, any Party may, to the extent legally allowed and except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, as applicable; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; and (c) subject to the requirements of applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such Party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such Party. Any delay in exercising any right pursuant to this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right.

8.6Special Committee Matters. For all purposes related to this Agreement, the Company (prior to the Company Merger Effective Time) and the Company Board, as applicable, shall act, including with respect to the granting of any consent, permission, amendment, extension or waiver, the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, or the making of any determination, only as directed by the Special Committee or its designees. Prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, without the consent of the Special Committee, the Company Board shall not (a) eliminate, revoke or diminish the authority of the Special Committee or (b) remove or cause the removal of any director of the Company Board that is a member of the Special Committee as a member of the Special Committee. The Special Committee (and, for so long as the Special Committee is in existence, only the Special Committee) may pursue any Legal Proceeding with respect to breaches of this Agreement on behalf of the Company.

107

Any notice received at the addressee’s location, or by email at the addressee’s email address on any day that is not a Business Day (or that is received after 5:00 p.m. at the addressee's local time on a Business Day) will be deemed to have been received at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the next Business Day. From time to time, any Party may provide notice to the other Parties of a change in its address or email address through a notice given in accordance with this Section 9.2, except that that notice of any change to the address, email address or any of the other details specified in or pursuant to this Section 9.2 will not be deemed to have been received until, and will be deemed to have been received upon, the later of the date (A) specified in such notice; or (B) that is five (5) Business Days after such notice would otherwise be deemed to have been received pursuant to this Section 9.2.

9.3Assignment. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written approval of the other Parties, except that Parent will have the right to assign all or any portion of

111

its rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement to its Affiliates, it being understood that such assignment will not (a) relieve Parent of any of its obligations hereunder, (b) affect the obligations of the parties to the Equity Commitment Letter, (c) impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions or (d) otherwise impede the rights of the holders of Company Common Stock. Any purported assignment of this Agreement without the consent required herein is null and void.

9.4Intentionally Omitted.

9.5Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements 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 and all common law duties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

9.6Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 6.9, Section 8.3(e) and this Section 9.6, the Parties agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other Parties in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to, and will not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated by Section 6.9; and (b) from and after the Company Merger Effective Time, the rights of the holders of (i) shares of Company Common Stock to receive the Per Share Price set forth in ArticleII and (ii) Company Options to receive the Option Consideration, if any, pursuant to Section2.10(a) and (iii) holders of Company Warrants to receive the consideration payable upon exercise of such Company Warrant pursuant to Section 2.10(f).

9.7Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

9.8Remedies.

(a)Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b)Specific Performance.

(i)The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not timely perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to the last two (2) sentences of this Section

112

9.8(b)(i), (A) the Parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the right of the Company to enforce the consummation of the Mergers and the Closing and to cause Parent to enforce the funding of the Equity Financing); (B) the provisions of Section 8.3 are not intended to and do not diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief; and (C) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Mergers. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement , it is explicitly agreed that the right of the Company to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing Parent’s obligation to consummate the Mergers and the Closing and to cause the Equity Financing to be funded to fund the Required Amounts, any Damages Payment (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) and Debt Paydown Payment shall be subject to the requirements that (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of such conditions) and the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.4, and (ii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing that if the Equity Financing is funded, the Company is ready, willing and able to consummate the Mergers and the Closing and take all actions that are required of it by this Agreement to consummate the Mergers and the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the date of such written notice and throughout the immediately subsequent five (5) Business Day period.

(ii)Subject to Section 8.3(f) and Section 9.8(b)(i), the Parties agree not to raise any objections to the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company or OpCo LLC, on the one hand, or Parent and the Merger Subs, on the other hand. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security.

9.9Governing Law. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Transactions), shall be governed by the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, including its statute of limitations, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.

9.10Consent to Jurisdiction.

113

(a)General Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties (i) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process (whether inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts) in any Legal Proceeding that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Transactions (any such Legal Proceeding, a “Transaction Legal Proceeding”), for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 9.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, and nothing in this Section 9.10 will affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (ii) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any Transaction Legal Proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”) in the event that any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (iv) agrees that any Transaction Legal Proceeding will be brought, tried and determined only in the Chosen Courts; (v) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any Transaction Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts or that such Legal Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (vi) agrees that it will not bring any Transaction Legal Proceeding in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Each of Parent, the Merger Subs and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any Transaction Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

9.11WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY TRANSACTION LEGAL PROCEEDING IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY TRANSACTION LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORTIOUS CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE). EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (i) 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;

114

(ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER;

(iii) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

115

9.12Company Disclosure Letter References. The Parties agree that the disclosure set forth in any particular section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter will be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are set forth in the corresponding Section or subsection of this Agreement; and (b) any other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are set forth in this Agreement, but in the case of this clause (b) only if the relevance of that disclosure as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure.

9.13Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

9.14No Limitation. It is the intention of the Parties that, to the extent possible, unless provisions are mutually exclusive and effect cannot be given to both or all such provisions, the representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions in this Agreement will be construed to be cumulative and that each representation, warranty, covenant and closing condition in this Agreement will be given full, separate and independent effect and nothing set forth in any provision herein will in any way be deemed to limit the scope, applicability or effect of any other provision hereof.

9.15Disclaimer. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole contractual benefit of the Parties. Such representations and warranties may be made as of specific dates, only for purposes of the Agreement and for the benefit of the Parties. Such representations and warranties are subject to important exceptions and limitations agreed upon by the Parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures, made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the Parties rather than establishing these matters as facts, and were made subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may differ from the standard generally applicable under federal securities Laws or under other contracts. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with Section 8.5 without notice or liability to any other Person. Any information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may have changed, and may continue to change, since the Agreement Date, and such subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public reports. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of contractual risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of such Parties. Any filing of this Agreement with the SEC or otherwise is only to provide investors with

116

information regarding its terms and conditions and not to provide any other factual information regarding the Company or its business. Consequently, Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement or any description thereof as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the Agreement Date or as of any other date. The information in this Agreement should be considered together with the Company’s public reports filed with the SEC.

9.16Non-Recourse Parent Parties. In no event will the Company or OpCo LLC, whether prior to or after termination of this Agreement, seek or obtain, nor will it permit any of its Representatives to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or monetary award against any Non-Recourse Person (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) or file or assert any claim with respect to this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including any breach by the Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Transactions or any claims or actions under applicable laws arising out of any such breach, termination or failure, other than from Parent or the Merger Subs to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement, or any Guarantor to the extent expressly provided for in the Equity Commitment Letter.
