Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall issue a number of Company Shares comprising the maximum number of SPAC Merger Earnout Shares issuable in connection with Section 3.09(j) of the SPAC Merger Agreement to the Persons entitled thereto (other than Company Shares issuable in settlement of outstanding Company Earnout RSUs, which are the subject of Section 2.08(a)(iii)), in accordance with the terms of the SPAC Merger Agreement. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub I, the Company or any holder of shares thereof, all Company Shares issued pursuant to the immediately precedent sentence shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.07(a)(ii) and subject to Section 2.09.

20

Exchange Ratio. Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Parent Shares payable in respect of this Section 2.08(b) to the holders of such Company Time-Vesting RSUs as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, but in any event no later than three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date.

(c) Company Options. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger, each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall automatically, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub I, the Company or any holder thereof, be converted into and thereafter evidence an option to acquire a number of Parent Shares that is equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Parent Shares (after such conversion, an “Exchanged Option”), at an exercise price per Parent Share underlying such Exchanged Option equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of Company Options immediately prior to the First Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. To the extent that Section 409A or Section 421(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applies to any such Company Option, the foregoing adjustment will be subject to such modifications, if any, as are required to cause the substitution contemplated by this Section 2.08(c) to be made in a manner consistent with Section 409A or Section 421(a) of the Code, as applicable. Except as provided in this Section 2.08(c) or as set forth in Section 2.08(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter or as otherwise set forth in the applicable Company Equity Plan or the award agreement pursuant to which such Company Option was granted, each Exchanged Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time; provided, that Parent shall take all action necessary to cause the term of exercisability of any such Exchanged Option following termination of the holder’s employment or service with the Company, the Initial Surviving Corporation, Surviving Company, Parent or any of their respective affiliates, as applicable (including any termination resulting from or in connection with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions), to be extended such that such Exchanged Option may be exercised by the holder thereof until the earlier of the expiration date of the Company Option corresponding to the applicable Exchanged Option as of the date hereof or the three (3) year anniversary of the applicable Company Employee’s date of termination.

(d) Company Warrants.

(i) Company Public Warrants. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger, each Company Public Warrant outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall automatically, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub I, the Company or any holder thereof, be converted into and thereafter evidence a warrant to purchase a number of Parent Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole share, that is equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Public Warrant as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio (after such conversion, an “Exchanged Warrant”), at an exercise price per Parent Share underlying such Exchanged Warrant equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price applicable to such Company Public Warrant immediately prior to the First Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Following the First Effective Time, each Exchanged Warrant shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as had applied to the corresponding Company Public Warrant as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, except for such terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Mergers or as otherwise set forth herein or in the Company Warrant Agreement with respect to such Company Public Warrant and subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by Parent and the Company to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the Mergers.

(ii) Company Private Warrants. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger, each Company Private Warrant outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall automatically, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub I, the Company or any holder thereof, be converted into and thereafter evidence an Exchanged Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase a number of Parent Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole share, that is equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Private Warrant as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time,

21

multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per Parent Share underlying such Exchanged Warrant equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price applicable to such Company Private Warrant immediately prior to the First Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Following the First Effective Time, each such Exchanged Warrant shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as had applied to the corresponding Company Private Warrant as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, except for such terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Mergers or as otherwise set forth herein or in the Company Warrant Agreement with respect to such Company Private Warrant and subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by Parent and the Company to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the Mergers.

(iii) Company Pre-Funded Warrant. To the extent the Company Pre-Funded Warrant is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First Effective Time, at the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger, the Company Pre-Funded Warrant shall automatically, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub I, the Company or the holder thereof, be converted into and thereafter evidence an Exchanged Warrant entitling the holder to purchase a number of Parent Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole share, that is equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Shares subject to the Company Pre-Funded Warrant as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per Parent Share underlying such Exchanged Warrant equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the First Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Following the First Effective Time, each such Exchanged Warrant in respect of the Company Pre-Funded Warrant shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as had applied to the Company Pre-Funded Warrant as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, except for such terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Mergers or as otherwise set forth herein or in the Company Pre-Funded Warrant and subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by Parent and the Company to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the Mergers.

(e) Procedures.

Each party shall provide the other party with drafts of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment upon, all resolutions and other documents as may be required to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.08.

(f) Parent Share Reserves. Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Shares for delivery with respect to all Exchanged Options. Parent shall file and cause to be effective as of no later than fifteen (15) days following the Closing Date, one or more registration statements under the Securities Act on Form S-8, Form S-3, Form S-1 or other appropriate form under the Securities Act, relating to Parent Shares issuable with respect to all Exchanged Options, and Parent shall use its best reasonable efforts cause such registration statements to remain in effect for so long as such Exchanged Options remain outstanding.

Section 2.09. Exchange Fund; Cancellation of Book-Entry Positions.

(a) Parent shall designate Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or such other nationally recognized transfer agent or such other bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to act as exchange agent in the First Merger (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment and delivery of the Merger Consideration pursuant to an exchange agent agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company. At or prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Company Stockholders, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, on behalf of itself, (i) the maximum number of Parent Shares that become issuable in exchange for Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(ii) and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with

22

Section 2.11(a) for delivery to the recipients entitled thereto (such Parent Shares being the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash available in the Exchange Fund in obligations, funds or accounts typical for (including having liquidity typical for) transactions of this nature as directed by Parent; provided that no losses on such investments shall affect the cash payable to former holders of Company Shares (and Parent shall promptly deliver to the Exchange Agent cash in an amount sufficient to replenish any deficiency in the Exchange Fund). All book-entry positions representing non-certificated Company Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall be exchanged as provided for in this Section 2.09.

(b) With respect to Book-Entry Shares not held through DTC (each, a “Non-DTC Book-Entry Share”), Parent shall instruct, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause, the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver to each holder of record of any Non-DTC Book-Entry Share, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the First Effective Time, but in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, the applicable Merger Consideration and a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.12) of any cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, plus any unpaid cash dividends and any other dividends or other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.09(d) or Section 2.11(a), and each Non-DTC Book-Entry Share shall be promptly cancelled by the Exchange Agent.

(c) With respect to Book-Entry Shares held through DTC, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Exchange Agent and DTC to ensure that the Exchange Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as soon as practicable after the First Effective Time, but in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, upon surrender of shares held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures, the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, and any unpaid cash dividends and any other dividends or other distributions, in each case, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.09(d) or Section 2.11(a).

(d) All Parent Shares to be issued and delivered to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the First Effective Time, and if a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent in respect of Parent Shares, the record date for which is at or after the First Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all Parent Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Any holders of Book-Entry Shares who have not cashed any check payable to them in accordance with Section 2.07(a)(ii) as of the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date, shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for Parent Shares, cash in lieu of fractional Parent Shares and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Shares, subject to applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Law.

(f) None of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Initial Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any current or former Company Stockholder or to any other Person with respect to any Parent Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or for any cash amounts, properly delivered to any public official in compliance with any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Law.

Section 2.10. Closing of the Company Transfer Books. At the First Effective Time: (a) each Book-Entry Share (other than an Excluded Share) shall cease to be outstanding and in either case shall represent only the right to receive Parent Shares (and cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares) as contemplated by Section 2.07 and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.09(d) and all holders of Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights as Company Stockholders; and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Company Shares shall be made on such stock transfer books after the First Effective Time.

23

Section 2.11. No Fractional Shares; No Appraisal Rights.

(a) No fractional Parent Shares shall be issued in connection with the Mergers, no dividends or distributions of Parent shall relate to such fractional share interests, no certificates for any such fractional shares shall be issued, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights as a Parent Stockholder. Any Company Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Share (including a restricted Parent Share) pursuant to the First Merger (after taking into account all Company Shares held immediately prior to the First Effective Time by such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender of such Book-Entry Shares, be paid a dollar amount in cash, rounded to the nearest whole cent, without interest and subject to any applicable withholdings, determined by multiplying such fraction by the Parent Share Price. The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional Parent Shares pursuant to Section 2.09 was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional Parent Shares.

(b) All calculations performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be calculated to four decimal places (0.0001), where applicable.

(c) In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no appraisal rights shall be available to the Company Stockholders in connection with the Mergers.

Section 2.12. Withholding. Each of the Company, Parent, the Initial Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) such amounts as it determines are reasonably necessary to cover all required withholdings from the amounts payable (including Parent Shares deliverable) under this Agreement and any other agreement or arrangements entered into in connection therewith in accordance with the Code and any other applicable Law. To the extent any such withheld or deducted amount is timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Body, such amount shall be treated as though such amount had been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding was determined to be necessary. Any compensatory payments contemplated to be made hereunder shall be made through the payroll procedures of the applicable Person.

Section 2.13. Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that the Company changes the number of Company Shares issued and outstanding prior to the First Effective Time or Parent changes the number of Parent Shares issued and outstanding prior to the First Effective Time, in either case, as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the consideration paid in accordance with this Agreement, including the Exchange Ratio, shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

Section 2.14. Further Action. If, at any time after the First Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent or the Company to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession of and to rights and property of the Merger Subs and the Company, the officers and directors of Parent shall be further authorized to take such action. Parent, the Initial Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Company also shall take such further actions as may be necessary or desirable to ensure that the Exchange Agent issues evidence of shares in book-entry form representing Parent Shares to such Stockholders in accordance with Section 2.09.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to schedule and hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, as applicable, on the same date and as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act; provided that the Company or Parent, as applicable, may, after reasonable consultation with the other party, postpone, recess or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting or Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, as applicable, and, if applicable, set a new record date for such meeting, (i) if there are not sufficient affirmative votes present in person or by proxy at such meeting to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval or the Parent Stockholder Approval, as applicable, and the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts in order to obtain the requisite number of affirmative votes in person or by proxy as of such later date, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company Board or Parent Board has determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company Stockholders or Parent Stockholders, as applicable, prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting or Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, as applicable and (iii) if required by Law; provided, however, that the Company Stockholders’ Meeting or Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, as applicable, shall occur as promptly as reasonably practicable following such postponement, recess or adjournment. In the event either the Company Stockholders’ Meeting or the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting is delayed in compliance with this Section 6.03(c), then the other party may similarly postpone, recess, adjourn or delay its Stockholder meeting to the same date.

Section 6.04. Non-Solicitation.

(a) Except as permitted by this Section 6.04, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiary not to, and shall instruct its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) initiate, seek or solicit, or knowingly encourage or facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information) or inquiries or the making or submission of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal; (ii) participate or engage in discussions (except to notify a Person that makes an inquiry or offer with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal of the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.04 or to clarify whether any such inquiry, offer or proposal constitutes a Company Acquisition Proposal) or negotiations with, or disclose any non-public information or data relating to, the Company or its Subsidiary or afford access to the properties, books or records of the Company or its Subsidiary to any Person that has made or could reasonably be expected to make, an Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into any agreement, including any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement, whether or not binding, with respect to a Company

53

Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement permitted pursuant to this Section 6.04). The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiary to, and shall instruct its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cause to be terminated any solicitation, discussions or negotiations with or involving any Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) conducted heretofore by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof or any of its or their respective Representatives, with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly discontinue access by any Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) to any data room (virtual or otherwise) established by the Company or its Representatives for such purpose. Within two (2) Business Days from the Agreement Date, the Company shall request the return or destruction of all confidential, non-public information provided to Third Parties that have entered into confidentiality agreements with the Company or its Subsidiary or who have otherwise been provided with confidential, non-public information since January 1, 2022 relating to a Company Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company and the Company Board may take any actions described in clause (ii) of this Section 6.04(b) with respect to a Third Party if (x) the Company receives a written Company Acquisition Proposal from a Third Party and there has not been a material breach of this Section 6.04(a) and (y) such proposal constitutes and the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and in such event, the Company and its Representatives may (i) furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Company Acquisition Proposal; provided, that the Company shall promptly provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company that is provided to any Person given such access and was not previously provided to Parent or its Representatives and (ii) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Company Acquisition Proposal. Nothing contained in this Agreement, including this Section 6.04, shall restrict the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any legally required disclosure to the Company Stockholders (provided, that any such disclosure that would otherwise constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall be made only in accordance with Section 6.04(b) or Section 6.04(c), as applicable, it being understood and agreed that any such communication that reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation shall be deemed not to be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change).

(b) Except as is set forth in this Section 6.04(b) and Section 6.04(c), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof may (i) withhold, withdraw, or publicly propose to withhold or withdraw the Company Board Recommendation; or (ii) propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve any Company Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this sentence being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”). For the avoidance of doubt, a change of the Company Board Recommendation to “neutral” shall constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, and subject to the Company’s compliance in all material respects with the provisions of this Section 6.04, in response to a Company Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board has determined in its reasonable discretion is a Superior Proposal with respect to the Company that has not been withdrawn and there has not been a material breach of Section 6.04(a), (x) the Company Board may make such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, and (y) the Company may terminate this Agreement and enter into a Specified Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, in either case of clauses (x) and (y), if and only if the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that its failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company may not take any such action (A) until three (4) days after the Company provides written notice to Parent advising Parent that the Company Board has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, identifying the Person or group making such Superior Proposal and including copies of all documents pertaining to such Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any change to the financial or other material terms of a proposal that was previously the subject of a notice hereunder shall require a new notice as provided herein, but with respect to any such subsequent notices references to a “four (4) day period” shall be deemed references to a

54

“two (2) day period”); and (B) if during such four (4) or two (2) day period, as applicable, Parent proposes any alternative transaction (including any modifications to the terms of this Agreement), unless the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and after good faith negotiations between the Company and Parent (if such negotiations are requested by Parent) during such four (4) or two (2) day period, as applicable, (after and taking into account all financial, legal and regulatory terms and conditions of such alternative transaction proposal and expected timing of consummation and the relative risks of non-consummation of the alternative transaction proposal and the Superior Proposal) that such Company Acquisition Proposal nonetheless continues to constitute a Superior Proposal.

(c) Notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 6.04(b), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, following any Company Intervening Event, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change after the Company Board (i) determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that the failure to make such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Company Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to Company Stockholders, (ii) determines in good faith that the reasons for making such Company Adverse Recommendation Change are independent of and unrelated to any pending Company Acquisition Proposal and (iii) provides written notice to Parent (a “Company Notice of Change”) advising Parent that the Company Board is contemplating making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and specifying the material facts and information constituting the basis for such contemplated determination; provided, however, that (x) the Company Board may not make such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change until the fourth (4th) day after receipt by Parent of a Company Notice of Change and (y) during such four (4) day period, at the request of Parent, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with respect to any changes or modifications to this Agreement which would allow the Company Board not to make such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Company Intervening Event, consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company Stockholders.

(d) The parties agree that in addition to the obligations of Parent and the Company set forth in clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 6.04, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours, the Company shall advise Parent in writing of any inquiry or discussions in which a Third Party indicated it might submit a Company Acquisition Proposal or any Company Acquisition Proposal and the terms and conditions of such Company Acquisition Proposal, and the Company shall promptly provide to Parent copies of any written materials received by the Company, in connection with such Company Acquisition Proposal and the identity of the Person or group making any such Company Acquisition Proposal. The Company agrees that it shall simultaneously provide to Parent any non-public information concerning itself or its Subsidiary provided to any other Person or group in connection with any Company Acquisition Proposal which was not previously provided to Parent. The Company shall keep Parent promptly informed of the status of any Company Acquisition Proposals (including the identity of the parties and any changes to any material terms and conditions thereof). The Company agrees not to release any Third Party from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party or fail to enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any such standstill or similar agreement to which it is a party; provided that the Company shall be permitted to waive, modify, amend or terminate any provision of any standstill agreement (or similar agreement) in order to permit a Person to make a Company Acquisition Proposal, if and only if the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to so waive, modify, amend or terminate would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and the Company provides prior written notice to Parent of its intent to take such action.

(e) Neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof may withhold, withdraw, or publicly propose to withhold or withdraw the Parent Board Recommendation (any action described in this sentence being referred to as a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”). For the avoidance of doubt, a change of the Parent Board Recommendation to “neutral” shall constitute a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change.

55

Section 6.05. Regulatory Approvals; Additional Agreements; Performance of Merger Subs.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, the Company and Parent each shall file with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice Notification and Report Forms relating to the Contemplated Transactions. The Company and Parent each shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, all other documents required to be filed with any Governmental Body pursuant to the merger notification or control or other Antitrust Laws of applicable foreign jurisdictions with respect to the Contemplated Transactions.

Each of Parent and the Company agree not to independently participate in any meeting, or engage in any substantive conversation, with any Governmental Body in connection with such filings without giving the other prior notice of the meeting or conversation and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Body, an opportunity to attend or participate. The parties shall consult and cooperate with one another and permit the other party or its counsel to review in advance any proposed written communication by such party to any Governmental Body in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party in connection with proceedings under or relating to Antitrust Laws in connection with the Contemplated Transactions. Parent and the Company shall promptly provide the other party with copies of all filings made by such party with any Governmental Body in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.

(c) Each of the Company and Parent shall (i) give the other party prompt notice of the commencement or written threat of commencement of any legal proceeding by or before any Governmental Body with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) keep the other party informed as to the status of any such legal proceeding or threat and (iii) reasonably cooperate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts (subject to, and in accordance with, applicable Law) to take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents and to do promptly, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement and to consummate and make effective the Contemplated Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the conditions and upon the terms of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to cooperate with the other party, execute and deliver such further documents, certificates, agreements and instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other party to evidence or reflect the Contemplated Transactions (including the execution and delivery of all documents, certificates, agreements and instruments reasonably necessary for all filings hereunder); (ii) to give all notices required to be made and given by such party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions; (iii) to obtain each action or nonaction, approval, consent, ratification, clearance, decision, declaration, approval, permission, waiver of authorization, and expirations or terminations of waiting periods required to be obtained from a Governmental Body and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be reasonably necessary to obtain any such consent, ratification, decision, declaration, approval, permission, clearance or waiver, or expiration or termination of a waiting period

56

by or from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Body in connection with any applicable Law; (iv) to obtain all necessary consents, authorizations, approvals or waivers from third parties; and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall (A) Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries be required to pay any fee, penalty or other consideration to any Third Party for any approval, consent, ratification, permission or waiver of authorization required to be obtained from parties to any material Contracts or (B) the receipt of any such approval, consent, ratification, permission or waiver of authorization required to be obtained from parties to any Contracts be a condition to any party’s obligations hereunder.

(e) Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, in no event shall Parent or the Company be required to (x) sell, divest, license, hold, convey or hold separate or otherwise take any action or agree to any undertaking that limits Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ or the Company’s and its Subsidiary’s freedom of action with respect to, or their ability to retain, particular Products, assets or business of Parent or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, or agreeing to take any such action, (y) terminate existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of Parent or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries or (z) effectuate any other change or restructuring of Parent or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries.

(f) Parent will take all actions necessary to cause each Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Mergers on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Parent and the Merger Subs shall not, before the Closing, permit any of their Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire any assets, business or any Person, whether by merger, consolidation, purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any Person or by any other manner or engage in any other transaction, if the entering into of an agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or purchase or other transaction would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period or impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any consent or order of a Governmental Body necessary to consummate the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions, including any approvals and expiration of waiting periods pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Law or (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Body entering, or increase the risk of not being able to remove or successfully challenge, any permanent, preliminary or temporary order that would materially delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions or (iii) otherwise materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions.

Section 6.06. Continuing Employee Benefits.

(a) Parent agrees that from and after the First Effective Time, Parent shall assume and honor all severance and employment agreements for all Continuing Employees, in each case, in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time. For a period of one (1) year following the First Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each employee of the Company who is employed by the Company as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time and who continues to be employed by Parent or the Surviving Company (or any Affiliate thereof) during such one (1)-year period (each, a “Continuing Employee”) (i) base salary (or base wages, as the case may be) and short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities (including, but not limited to, bonuses and commission opportunities) no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement and (ii) employee benefits (including severance benefits and other health and welfare benefits, but excluding equity or long-term cash incentive compensation and any defined benefit pension and post-employment health and welfare benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the benefits (including severance benefits and other health and welfare benefits, but excluding equity compensation or long-term cash incentive compensation and any defined benefit pension and post-employment health and welfare benefits) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement.

57

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.06(a):

(i) Each Continuing Employee shall be given service credit for all purposes, including for eligibility to participate, benefit levels (including, for the avoidance of doubt, levels of benefits under Parent’s or the Surviving Company’s vacation policy) and eligibility for vesting under Parent or the Surviving Company’s employee benefit plans and arrangements with respect to his or her length of service with the Company (and its predecessors) prior to the Closing Date, provided, that the foregoing shall not result in the duplication of benefits or to benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan.

(ii) With respect to any accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation time to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to and instruct its Affiliates to, as applicable (and without duplication of benefits), assume the liability for such accrued personal, sick or vacation time and allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued personal, sick or vacation time in accordance with the practice and policies of the Company.

(iii) To the extent relevant under any health or welfare benefit plan of Parent or the Surviving Company, then Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive all limitations and exclusions as to pre-existing conditions, and all waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees, to the extent that such limitations, exclusions and waiting periods would not apply under a similar employee benefit plan in which such employees participated prior to the First Effective Time. In addition, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by a Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year immediately before the First Effective Time to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents under any health or welfare benefit plan of Parent or the Surviving Company, as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with the applicable health or welfare benefit plan of Parent or the Surviving Company.

(c) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall be permitted to pay the Company Employees short-term annual cash bonuses in respect of the year in which the Closing Date occurs or any year completed prior to the year in which the Closing Date occurs but not paid as of the Closing Date, in amounts calculated on the basis of actual performance through the Closing Date for all or any portion of the applicable performance period, determined and calculated in a manner consistent Section 6.06(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter as determined by the Company in its good faith discretion (the “Permitted Bonuses”); provided, that the Company Board may, in the exercise of its good faith discretion, elect to pay such Permitted Bonuses for an entire performance period (whether or not such performance period has elapsed in full as of the date of payment) or prorate the payment of the Permitted Bonuses to the extent necessary to reflect the portion of the performance period elapsed through the Closing Date, provided further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Company has made any payment in respect of Permitted Bonuses to any Company Executive pursuant to this Section 6.06(c), the Company shall not pay, and the Surviving Company shall not be obligated to pay, amounts otherwise payable in respect of annual cash bonuses pursuant to the Change in Control Severance Plan, the Executive Employment Agreements or any other individual employment or severance agreement with any participating employee or otherwise, solely to the extent any such payment would result in a duplication of benefits otherwise due to any such Company Executive. If the Company has not paid all or any portion of the Permitted Bonuses as of the Closing Date, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, pay such amounts as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.06 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 6.06 is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise and no current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.

58

Section 6.07. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) Parent shall cause the Surviving Company Organizational Documents to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation from liabilities of present and former directors, officers, and employees of the Company than are currently provided in the Company Organizational Documents, which provisions may not be amended, repealed, or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such matters and (ii) six (6) years from the First Effective Time, and, in the event that any Action is pending or asserted or any claim made during such period, until the disposition of any such Action or claim, unless such amendment, modification, or repeal is required by applicable Law, in which case Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, make such changes to the Surviving Company Organizational Documents as to have the least adverse effect on the rights of the individuals referenced in this Section 6.07.

(b) Without limiting any additional rights that any Person may have, from and after the First Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Company (each, together with their successors and assigns, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each present (as of the First Effective Time) or former director or officer of the Company (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors, or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”), against all obligations to pay a judgment, damages, settlement, or fine or penalty, and reasonable expenses (including legal expenses) incurred in connection with any Action or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Company or its Subsidiary, or of another Entity if such service was at the request of the Company, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at, or after the First Effective Time, to the fullest extent provided for under existing indemnification agreements and other similar arrangements in effect as of prior to the date hereof. In the event of any such Action or claim, each Indemnified Party is entitled to the advancement of reasonable expenses (including legal expenses) incurred in the defense of the Action or claim from the Surviving Company (provided that any Person to whom expenses are advanced shall have provided, to the extent required by the DGCL, an undertaking to repay such advances if it is finally determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification).

(c) For a period of no less than six (6) years following the First Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall cause to be maintained in effect the existing policies of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (or a comparable replacement policy) with respect to claims arising from acts, errors or omissions that existed or occurred prior to or at the First Effective Time (the “D&O Policy”) containing coverage that is at least as protective to such directors and officers as the coverage, deductibles and amounts provided by such existing policies. Parent shall cause such D&O Policy to be maintained in full force and effect for their full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Company may, or if the Company is unable to, Parent may on its behalf, prior to the First Effective Time, purchase a six (6)-year “tail” prepaid insurance policy on the D&O Policy and in the event that Parent or the Company shall purchase such a “tail” policy, Parent and the Surviving Company shall maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect; provided, however, that neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall be obligated to pay aggregate annual premiums in excess of 300% of the amount paid for the policy year in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time (the “Maximum Premium”) and (y) the Company shall not be permitted to obtain any “tail” or “runoff” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy with a cost in excess of the Maximum Premium. If the aggregate premiums of any such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Premium, then the Surviving Company will be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Premium.

(d) Without limiting any of the rights or obligations under this Section 6.07, from and after the Second Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall keep in full force and effect, and shall comply with the terms and conditions of, any agreement in effect as of the date hereof between or among the Company or its Subsidiary and

59

any Indemnified Party providing for the indemnification of such Indemnified Party, and Parent hereby guarantees the obligations of the Surviving Company pursuant to such agreements.

(e) This Section 6.07 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers and is intended to benefit, and is enforceable by, any Person or Entity referred to in this Section 6.07. The indemnification and advancement provided for in this Section 6.07 is not exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnified Party is entitled whether pursuant to Law, contract, or otherwise. If Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or Entity resulting from such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall make proper provision such that the respective successors and assigns of the Parent and Surviving Company assume the applicable obligations set forth in this Section 6.07.

(f) Each of the Indemnified Parties or other Persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in this Section 6.07 (and, after the death of any of the foregoing Persons, such Person’s heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.07, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. 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 its Subsidiary for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.07 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Section 6.08. Public Disclosure. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release, and thereafter Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Mergers or the Contemplated Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the other Person’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law or legal process. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) each party may, without such consultation or consent, make announcements to employees or any public statement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, so long as such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the parties (or individually, if approved by the other party); (b) subject to any other applicable terms of this Agreement, either Party may make any disclosures, without the other Party’s prior written consent (but, in the case of the Company, with prior notice), in the Company SEC Documents or Parent SEC Documents, as applicable, as may be required by applicable federal securities Laws; (c) a party may, without the prior consent of the other party but subject to giving advance notice to the other party, issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement as may be required by any applicable Law. The restrictions of this Section 6.08 do not apply to communications in connection with and following a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or Parent Adverse Recommendation Change in compliance with Section 6.04.

Section 6.09. Listing of Additional Shares. Parent shall, in accordance with the requirements of the Parent Exchange, file with the Parent Exchange a Listing of Additional Shares Notice covering the Parent Shares to be issued to the Company Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Parent Shares to be issued to the Company Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on the Parent Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the First Effective Time.

Section 6.10. Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the Contemplated Transactions, each of Parent and the Company and the members of its respective board of directors, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, shall grant such approvals and take such actions, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as are necessary so that the Contemplated Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the End Date, on the terms and conditions

60

contemplated hereby and otherwise, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, act to eliminate the effect of any Takeover Law on any of the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 6.11. Section 16 Matters. Parent shall, prior to the First Effective Time, cause the Parent Board to approve the issuance of Parent Shares in connection with the First Merger with respect to any employees of the Company who, as a result of their relationship with Parent as of or following the First Effective Time, are subject or will become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent necessary for such issuance to be an exempt acquisition pursuant to SEC Rule 16b-3. Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company Board shall approve the disposition of the Company equity securities (including derivative securities) in connection with the First Merger by those directors and officers of the Company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent necessary for such disposition to be an exempt disposition pursuant to SEC Rule 16b-3.

Section 6.12. Transaction Litigation. The Company shall promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within forty-eight hours of learning of) notify Parent, as applicable, of any Transaction Litigation commenced against the Company. The Company shall provide the other party the opportunity to participate in the defense of any litigation brought by its stockholders or in the name of the Company against the Company or its directors relating to the Contemplated Transactions, including the Mergers. For purposes of this Section 6.12, “participate” means that the Company shall keep Parent reasonably apprised of the proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to any Transaction Litigation, and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Transaction Litigation which the Company shall consider in good faith.

Section 6.13. Tax Matters.

(a) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Mergers qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and this Agreement is intended to constitute, and the parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Each of Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mergers to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties agree not to take any action or fail to take any action, in either case, that could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment and (ii) to report the Mergers for all Tax purposes consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, in each case, unless otherwise required by a Governmental Body as a result of a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. The parties agree that the tax year of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes will end at the close of the Closing Date and that the Company will join the U.S. federal consolidated tax return in which Parent is the common parent as of the opening of the next day. Parent agrees that it will post a duly completed IRS Form 8937 on its website not later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date.

(b) In the event the SEC requests or requires a Tax opinion that the Mergers should be a reorganization pursuant to Section 368 of the Code, Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP (or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent) shall prepare such Tax opinion provided that each of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and the Company shall execute and deliver customary tax representations to such advisor in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such advisor; provided further that no opinion on the tax status of the transaction is required to be delivered to either party as a condition to the Closing.

Section 6.14. Merger Sub Consents. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, (a) Parent shall execute and deliver, in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL and in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub I, a written consent adopting this Agreement and (b) Parent shall execute and deliver, in accordance

61

with Section 18-209 of the DLLA and its capacity as the sole member of Merger Sub II, a written consent adopting this Agreement and approving the Contemplated Transactions, including the Mergers.

Section 6.15. Stock Exchange Delisting; Deregistration. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of NYSE to enable the delisting by the Surviving Company of the Company Shares from NYSE and the deregistration of the Company Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Second Effective Time.

Section 6.16. Interim Operations of Merger Subs. During the period from the date hereof through the earlier of the First Effective Time or the date of termination of this Agreement, neither Merger Sub shall engage in any activities of any nature except as provided in or contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.17. Resignation of Directors. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall have received letters of resignation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, effective as of the First Effective Time, from the directors of the Company Board who will not be on the Company Board after the First Effective Time.

Section 6.18. Company Net Cash Schedule.

(a) No later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date (the “Determination Date”), the Company will deliver to Parent a schedule (the “Company Net Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Company’s good faith, estimated calculation of Company Net Cash (the “Company Net Cash Calculation” and the date of delivery of such schedule being the “Delivery Date”) as of the close of business on the last business day prior to the Determination Date (the “Cash Determination Time”) prepared and certified by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Company shall make available to Parent, as reasonably requested by Parent, the work papers and back-up materials used or useful in preparing the Company Net Cash Schedule and, if reasonably requested by Parent, the Company’s accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.

(b) No later than three (3) days after the Delivery Date (the last day of such period, the “Response Date”), the Company shall have the right to dispute any part of the Company Net Cash Calculation by delivering a written notice to that effect to the Company (a “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail and to the extent known the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the Company Net Cash Calculation and will be accompanied by reasonably detailed materials supporting the basis for such revisions.

(c) If, on or prior to the Response Date, Parent notifies the Company in writing that it has no objections to the Company Net Cash Calculation or, if on the Response Date, Parent fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 6.18(b) then the Company Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Company Net Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Company Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If Parent delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Date, then Representatives of the Company and Parent shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Company Net Cash, which agreed upon Company Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Company Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If Representatives of the Company and Parent are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Company Net Cash as of the Cash Determination Time pursuant to Section 6.18(d) within three (3) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as the Company and Parent may mutually agree upon), then

62

any remaining disagreements as to the calculation of Company Net Cash shall be referred to an independent auditor of recognized national standing jointly selected by the Company and Parent. If the parties are unable to select an independent auditor within five (5) days, then either the Company or Parent may thereafter request that the Boston, Massachusetts Office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) make such selection (either the independent auditor jointly selected by both parties or such independent auditor selected by the AAA, the “Accounting Firm”). The Company and Parent shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Company Net Cash Schedule and the Dispute Notice, and the Company or Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within five (5) business days of accepting its selection. The Company and Parent shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of the Company and Parent. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of Company Net Cash made by the Accounting Firm shall be made in writing delivered to each of the Company and Parent, shall be final and binding on the Company and Parent and shall (absent manifest error) be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Company Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. The parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 6.18(e). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Company and Parent in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Company Net Cash that was unsuccessfully disputed by such party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Company Net Cash amount. If this Section 6.18(e) applies as to the determination of the Company Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time described in Section 6.18(a), upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 6.18(e), the Parties shall not be required to determine Company Net Cash again even though the Closing Date may occur later than the original Determination Date except that either the Company or Parent may request a redetermination of Company Net Cash if the Closing Date is more than thirty (30) days after the original Determination Date.

Section 6.19. Termination of 401(k) Plans. Effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate any and all Company Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each, a “401(k) Plan”). No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that each 401(k) Plan has been terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating each 401(k) Plan as Parent may reasonably require and at Parent’s sole cost and expense, subject to and in accordance with applicable Laws.
