Section 1.04 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses, and authority of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE II

Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock; Exchange of certificates

Section 2.01 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company or the holder of any capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company:

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cancelled Shares”) will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares) (i) will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”) (ii) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.01(e); and (iii) any dividends or other distributions to which the holder thereof becomes entitled upon the surrender of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.02(g).

(c) Cancellation of Shares. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and all shares of Company Common Stock will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and each holder of: (i) a certificate formerly representing any shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”); or (ii) any book-entry shares which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Book-Entry Share”) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive (A) the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.01(e), and (C) any dividends or other distributions to which the holder thereof becomes entitled to upon the surrender of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.02(g).

(d) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers, and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(e) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock exchanged by such holder) shall in lieu thereof, upon surrender of such holder’s Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, receive in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the last reported sale price of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on the last complete trading day prior to the date of the Effective Time.

Section 2.02 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Exchange Agent; Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration for the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares. At or promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit, with the Exchange Agent: (i) certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form representing the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration; and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.01(e). In addition, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions, if any, to which the holders of Company Common Shares may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(g) for distributions or dividends, on the Parent Common Stock to which they are entitled to pursuant to Section 2.01(b), with both a record and payment date after the Effective Time and prior to the surrender of the Company Common Shares in exchange for such Parent Common Stock. Such cash and shares of Parent Common Stock, together with any dividends or other distributions deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) Procedures for Surrender; No Interest. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time, whose Company Common Stock was converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form, as agreed to between Parent and the Company) for use in such exchange. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share, any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.01(e), and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.02(g) upon: (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate; or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares; in each case, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE II, each Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Share or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, shall immediately be cancelled.

(c) Investment of Exchange Fund. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the cash in the Exchange Fund will be invested by the Exchange Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation. No losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund will affect the amounts payable to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Parent shall promptly replace or restore, or cause to be replaced or restored, the cash in the Exchange Fund lost through such investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make such cash payments. Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs.

(d) Payments to Non-Registered Holders. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that: (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred; and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Full Satisfaction. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE II.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock twelve (12 months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.02 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat, or other similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for payment of the Merger Consideration without any interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Shares of Company Common Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent in respect of the Parent Common Stock, the record date for which is after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Company Common Share until the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.05) or Book-Entry Share is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.02. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following such surrender, there shall be issued or paid to the holder of record of the whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for Company Common Shares in accordance with this Section 2.02, without interest: (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and not paid; and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

Section 2.03 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company or the Parent Common Stock shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company or Parent as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Exchange Ratio and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit Parent or the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.04 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this ARTICLE II such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.05 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this ARTICLE II.

Section 2.06 Treatment of Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Compensation.

(a) Company Stock Options. As of the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding under any Company Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, or any other Person, accelerated, and each such Company Stock Plan shall terminate.

(b) Resolutions and Other Company Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board, and the Compensation Committee of such Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including obtaining any employee consents) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of paragraphs Section 2.06(a) and Section 2.06(b) of this Section 2.06.

Section 2.07 Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and that this Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

ARTICLE III

Except: (a) as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof (other than any disclosures contained or referenced therein under the captions “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” and any other disclosures contained or referenced therein of information, factors, or risks that are predictive, cautionary, or forward-looking in nature) or (b) as set forth in the correspondingly numbered Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule , the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation, limited liability company, or other legal entity and is in good standing (to the extent that the concept of “good standing” is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States) in each jurisdiction where the character of the assets and properties owned, leased, or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or license necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or to be in good standing, would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Charter Documents. The copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company as most recently filed with the Company SEC Documents are true, correct, and complete copies of such documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

Except for the capital stock of, or other equity or voting interests in, its Subsidiaries, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock of, or other equity or voting interests in, any Person.

Section 3.02 Capital Structure.

Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, each Company Employee Plan has been established, administered, and maintained in all material respects in accordance with its terms and in material compliance with applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code.

Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries, where applicable, have timely made all contributions, benefits, premiums, and other payments required by and due under the terms of each Company Employee Plan and applicable Law and accounting principles, and all benefits accrued under any unfunded Company Employee Plan have been paid, accrued, or otherwise adequately reserved to the extent required by, and in accordance with, GAAP. Except to the extent limited by applicable Law, each Company Employee Plan can be amended, terminated, or otherwise discontinued after the Effective Time in accordance with each such Plan’s terms, without material liability to Parent, the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries (other than ordinary administration expenses and in respect of accrued benefits thereunder).

Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company Board or Parent Board, as applicable, from disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Takeover Proposal, if the party determines, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to disclose such position would constitute a violation of applicable Law or would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties.

(c) Notification. The Company Board, on the one hand, and the Parent Board, on the other hand, shall not take any of the actions referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 5.04(b) unless such party shall have delivered to the other party a prior written notice advising the other party that it intends to take such action. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall notify the other party promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by such party (or any of its Representatives) of any Takeover Proposal, any inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, or any request for non-public information relating to such party or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books, or records of such party or any of its Subsidiaries by any third party. In such notice, such party shall identify the third party making, and details of the material terms and conditions of, any such Takeover Proposal, indication or request. Such party shall keep the other party fully informed, on a current basis, of the status and material terms of any such Takeover Proposal, indication or request, including any material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms thereof. Such party shall provide the other party with at least 24 hours’ prior notice of any meeting of its board of directors, or any committee thereof (or such lesser notice as is provided to the members of such party’s board of directors or committee thereof) at which such party’s board of directors, or any committee thereof, is reasonably expected to consider any Takeover Proposal. Such party shall promptly provide the other party with a list of any non-public information concerning such party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ business, present or future performance, financial condition, or results of operations, provided to any third party, and, to the extent such information has not been previously provided to the other party, copies of such information.

(d) Adverse Recommendation Change or Acquisition Agreement. Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.04, (i) the Company Board shall not effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, (ii) the Parent Board shall not effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change; and (iii) neither the Company Board nor the Parent Board shall enter into (or permit any of its respective Subsidiaries to enter into) an Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of: (i) the Requisite Company Vote, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any Subsidiary to enter into) an Acquisition Agreement and (ii) the Requisite Parent Vote, the Parent Board may effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any Subsidiary to enter into) an Acquisition Agreement, if (A) such party promptly notifies the other party, in writing, at least 3 Business Days (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”) before making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable, or entering into (or causing one of its Subsidiaries to enter into) an Acquisition Agreement, of such party’s intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall state expressly that such party has received a Takeover Proposal, that such party’s board of directors (or a committee thereof) intends to declare a Superior Proposal and that such party intends to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable, and/or such party intends to enter into an Acquisition Agreement, (B) such party specifies the identity of the party making the Superior Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof in such notice and includes an unredacted copy of the Takeover Proposal and attaches to such notice the most current version of any proposed agreement (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis) and any related documents including financing documents, to the extent provided by the relevant party in connection with the Superior Proposal, (C) such party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, during the Superior Proposal Notice Period, negotiate with the other party in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Takeover Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, if the other party, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that, in the event that, after commencement of the Superior Proposal Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including any revision in price or financing, the Superior Proposal Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least 3 Business Days remain in the Superior Proposal Notice Period subsequent to the time such party notifies the other party of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)), and (D) such party’s board of directors (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that such Takeover Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal after taking into account any adjustments made by the other party during the Superior Proposal Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in such case, as applicable, the failure of the board of directors of the Company or Parent, as applicable, to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable, would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(a) Joint Proxy Statement and Form S-4. In connection with the Company Stockholders Meeting and Parent Stockholders Meeting, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC the Joint Proxy Statement and Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC the Form S-4 (which shall include the Joint Proxy Statement).

Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (A) cause the Joint Proxy Statement to be mailed to its respective stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, and (B) ensure that the Joint Proxy Statement complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act. Parent shall also take any other action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified) required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws, and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance of Parent Stock in the Merger, and the Company shall furnish to Parent all information concerning the Company as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such actions.

(b) Furnishing of Information. Parent and the Company shall furnish to the other party all information concerning such Person and its Affiliates required by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement.

Parent and the Company shall promptly provide the other party and their counsel with any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that Parent, the Company, or their respective counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement promptly after the receipt of such comments. Prior to the filing of the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement with the SEC (including in each case any amendment or supplement thereto, except with respect to any amendments filed in connection with a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or in connection with any disclosures made in compliance with Section 5.04) or the dissemination thereof to the holders of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Form S-4 or Joint Proxy Statement, each of Parent and the Company shall provide the other party and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Form S-4, Joint Proxy Statement, or response (including the proposed final version thereof), and each of Parent and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the other party or their counsel.

Section 5.06 Company Stockholders Meeting. The Company shall take all legal action necessary to call, give notice of, convene, and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective; in connection therewith, the Company shall mail the Joint Proxy Statement to the holders of Company Common Stock in advance of such meeting. Except to the extent that the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.04, the Joint Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation. Subject to Section 5.04 hereof, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to: (a) solicit from the holders of Company Common Stock proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger; and (b) take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the holders of Company Common Stock required by applicable Law to obtain such approval. The Company shall keep Parent and Merger Sub updated with respect to proxy solicitation results as requested by Parent or Merger Sub. Once the Company Stockholders Meeting has been called and noticed, the Company shall not postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting without the consent of Parent (other than: (i) in order to obtain a quorum of the Company’s stockholders; (ii) if there is insufficient number of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) and voting to obtain the Requisite Company Vote, whether or not a quorum is present (iii) if, after consultation with Parent, the Company Board in good faith determines, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to adjourn or postpone the meeting would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (and, in such case, only postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting to the extent reasonably necessary to mitigate such potential inconsistency); or (iv) as reasonably determined by the Company to comply with applicable Law). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Parent to hold the Company Stockholders Meeting on the same day and at the same time as the Parent Stockholders Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, and to set the same record date for each such meeting. If the Company Board makes a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, such event will not alter the obligation of the Company to submit the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger to the holders of Company Common Stock at the Company Stockholders Meeting to consider and vote upon, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting.

Section 5.07 Parent Stockholders Meeting; Approval by Sole Stockholder of Merger Sub.

Once the Parent Stockholders Meeting has been called and noticed, Parent shall not postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholders Meeting without the consent of Company (other than: (A) in order to obtain a quorum of Parent’s stockholders; (B) if there is insufficient number of Parent Common Stock to obtain the Requisite Parent Vote; whether or not a quorum is present; (C) if, after consultation with the Company, the Parent Board in good faith determines, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to adjourn or postpone the meeting would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (and, in such case, only postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholders Meeting to the extent reasonably necessary to mitigate such potential inconsistency); or (D) as reasonably determined by Parent to comply with applicable Law). Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Company to hold the Parent Stockholders Meeting on the same day and at the same time as the Company Stockholders Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, and to set the same record date for each such meeting. If the Parent Board makes a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, such event will not alter the obligation of Parent to submit the Parent Stock Issuance approval to the holders of Parent Common Stock at the Parent Stockholders Meeting to consider and vote upon, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Parent Stockholders Meeting.

(b) Approval by Sole Stockholder. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, as sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger, in accordance with the DGCL.
