(b) Subject to the provisions of Article 9, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place in New York City at the offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, 450 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017 or through the electronic exchange of the applicable documents, using PDFs or electronic signatures as soon as possible, but in any event (i) no later than three (3) Business Days after the date the last of the conditions set forth in Article 9 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing) has been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions, or at such other place, at such other time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree in writing; provided that, if the Marketing Period has not ended at the time of the satisfaction or waiver of the last of the conditions set forth in Article 9 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing), the Closing shall take place on the earlier to occur of (x) any Business Day before or during the Marketing Period as may be specified by Parent on no fewer than three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Company and (y) the third Business Day immediately following the final day of the Marketing Period (subject, in each case, to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article 9 as of the date determined pursuant to this proviso (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing)) or (ii) such other time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

(c) At the Closing, the Company and Merger Sub shall file a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Delaware Secretary of State and make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary

of State (or at such later time as may be specified in the Certificate of Merger) (the “Effective Time”).

(d) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL.

Section 2.02 Conversion of Shares.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b), Section 2.02(c) or Section 2.04, each Company Common Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including each Company Restricted Share, subject to Section 2.05(a)) will automatically be converted into the right to receive $42.00 in cash without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such Company Common Shares will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and will thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in accordance with Section 2.03, without interest.

(b) Each Company Common Share held by the Company as a treasury share or owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and cease to exist, and no payment will be made with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, each Company Restricted Share and Company RSU shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.05.

(c) Each Company Common Share held by any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into such number of common shares of the Surviving Corporation such that each Subsidiary owns the same percentage of the outstanding capital stock in the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such Subsidiary owned in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Each common share of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one common share of the Surviving Corporation and, except as provided in Section 2.02(c), will constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.03 Surrender and Payment.

(a) At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) and enter into an exchange agent agreement, reasonably acceptable to the Company, with such agent for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (i) certificates representing Company Common Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated Company Common Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”). At or immediately after the Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of Company Common Shares

at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions (which will be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and finalized prior to the Effective Time and which will specify that the delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title will pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of Company Common Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration will be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, 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 a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration payable for each Company Common Share represented by a Certificate or for each Uncertificated Share (less any applicable withholding). Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share will represent from and after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. No interest will be paid or will accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any such Company Common Shares.

(c) 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 Uncertificated Share is registered, it will be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of the Company will be closed, and there will be no further registration of transfers of Company Common Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, they will be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a) (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Common Shares twelve (12) months after the Effective Time will be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged any Company Common Share for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time will thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Common Share without any interest thereon (subject to abandoned property escheat or similar Applicable Law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent will be liable to any holder of Company Common Shares for Merger Consideration delivered to a Governmental Authority pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered or Uncertificated Share shall not have been transferred prior to such date on which any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, then any such Merger Consideration will, to the extent permitted by

Applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.04 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all Company Common Shares that are issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by the Company’s stockholders who shall have neither voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly and validly demanded their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such Company Common Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Company Shares”) will not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.02(a). Such Company stockholders will be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Company Shares held by Company stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL will thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificates or transfer of Uncertificated Shares that formerly evidenced such Company Common Shares in the manner provided in Section 2.03 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and bond, if required) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.08).

(b) The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares. Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal pursuant to the DGCL in respect of Dissenting Company Shares. The Company may not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

Section 2.05 Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the restrictions on each Company Restricted Share granted and then outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, lapse, and each such Company Restricted Share will be treated at the Effective Time the same as, and have the same rights and be subject to the same conditions as, an outstanding share of Company Common Shares not subject to any restrictions, subject to any withholding Taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld; provided that, if there are any performance conditions applicable to any Company Restricted Share, then the restrictions on such performance-based Company Restricted Share will lapse with respect to a number of Company Common Shares that is calculated as set forth in Section 2.05(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and otherwise in accordance with the Company Stock Plan and the applicable award agreement governing such performance-based Company Restricted Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, any additional performance-based Company Restricted Share that may become earned and issuable pursuant to

the applicable award agreement upon the applicable anniversary of the grant date of such performance-based Company Restricted Share and in accordance with Section 2.05(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be considered granted and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time for purposes of the foregoing calculation in this Section 2.05(a).

(b) Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount equal to (i) the Merger Consideration, plus (ii) any accrued but unpaid dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of such Company RSU as of the Effective Time.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors, as applicable, shall have adopted any resolutions and have taken any actions that are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Restricted Shares and Company RSUs pursuant to this Section 2.05.

(e) All payments under this Section 2.05 ‎‎shall be made at or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than the next regularly scheduled payroll run of the Company or Surviving Corporation that is at least five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date), pursuant to the Company’s or the Surviving Corporation’s ordinary payroll practices, and will be subject to any applicable withholding.

Interim Company Restricted Share prior to the Effective Time, (A) shall be converted into an award that entitles the holder thereof, upon vesting, to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration, plus any interest accrued on the basis of prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect at the Effective Time, compounded quarterly, calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed (including the Closing Date and each applicable vesting date) in respect of each Interim Company Restricted Share and (B) in the event that the holder’s service is terminated by the Company or Surviving Corporation without Cause (as defined in the Company Stock Plan) or by the holder for Good Reason (as defined in the Company Stock Plan) at the time of or within twenty-four (24) months following the Effective Time, any unvested Interim Company Restricted Shares as of the date of such holder’s separation from service shall fully vest. Except as otherwise provided in this ‎Section 2.05(f), each cash-settled award covered by this ‎Section 2.05(f) shall have the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms and conditions) as applied to the corresponding Interim Company Restricted Share.

(b) Parent has delivered to the Company a true, complete and fully executed copy of an equity commitment letter dated as of January 11, 2024 (including all related exhibits, schedules, annexes, supplements and term sheets thereto, and including an executed fee letter as redacted in a customary manner to remove the fee amounts and certain other terms (none of which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, termination or aggregate amount of the Equity Financing to be made available thereunder), as each of the foregoing may be amended, supplemented, replaced, substituted, terminated or otherwise modified or waived from time to time after the date hereof in compliance with Section 6.06, the “Equity Commitment Letter”, and together with the Debt Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letters”) from the Equity Financing Sources party thereto confirming their respective commitments to provide Parent with equity financing in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby in the amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”, and together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”).

(c) Each Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, enforceable against Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity). As of the date hereof, neither Commitment Letter has been amended or modified, the respective commitments contained in the Commitment Letters have not been withdrawn, rescinded or otherwise modified, and no such amendment, modification, withdrawal or rescission of either Commitment Letter is currently contemplated or the subject of current discussions (other than amendments to the Debt Commitment Letter to add additional lenders, arrangers and agents or reallocate commitments or assign or reassign titles or roles to, or between or among, any entities party thereto). As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or any

of their respective Affiliates or, to the knowledge of Parent, any other Person, under the Commitment Letters. All fees (if any) required to be paid under the Commitment Letters on or prior to the date hereof have been paid in full.

(d) There are no conditions precedent directly or indirectly related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letters. Other than the Commitment Letters, there are no other contracts, arrangements or understandings entered into by Parent or any Affiliate thereof related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the Financing (except for (i) customary fee letters relating to the commitments in the Commitment Letters, a true, complete and fully executed copy of each of which has been provided to the Company, with only the fee amounts, “market flex” (in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter), “structure flex” (in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter), pricing terms, pricing caps and other commercially sensitive terms redacted; provided that Parent represents and warrants that, in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, the market flex and structure flex provisions in such fee letter do not permit the imposition of any new conditions (or the modification or expansion of any existing conditions) or (ii) customary engagement letters or non-disclosure agreements which do not impact the conditionality or amount of the Financing). As of the date hereof, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s obligation to consummate the Merger, Parent has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing will not be satisfied or that the full amount of the Financing will not be available to Parent on the Closing Date.

(e) Assuming (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 4.05 and Section 4.23 (other than for de minimis inaccuracies), (ii) the Financing is funded on the Closing Date in accordance with the Commitment Letters and (iii) the Closing is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement following satisfaction of the conditions precedent thereto, the aggregate proceeds of the Financing (after giving effect to any market flex provisions in the case of the Debt Financing), together with any cash on hand, available lines of credit and other sources of immediately available funds, will be in an amount sufficient to enable Parent to make payment of the Merger Consideration and any other amounts to be paid by it hereunder or under the Commitment Letters. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the availability of funds (including the Financing) will not be a condition to the obligation of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Solvent” when used with respect to any Person, means that as of any date of determination (i) the fair value of the assets of such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, contingent, subordinated or otherwise, of such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (ii) the present fair salable value of the property of such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that

will be required to pay the probable liability of such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and liabilities as they become absolute and matured, (iii) such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as they become absolute and matured and become due in the usual course of their affairs and (iv) such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

Except as set forth on Section 5.11 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, neither Parent nor Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates or “associates” is the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Section 13 of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of any Company Common Shares or other Company Securities, or is a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (other than this Agreement) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, directing the voting of or disposing of any Company Common Shares or other Company Securities. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates or “associates” is, or has been within the past three (3) years, an “associate” of the Company. For purposes of this Section 5.11, the term “associate” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Rule 12b-2 of the 1934 Act.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.06 shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to:

(i) take any action in respect of the Debt Financing to the extent that such action would cause any condition to Closing set forth in Article 9 to fail to be satisfied by the End Date or otherwise result in a breach of this Agreement by the Company;

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for all purposes of this Agreement (including the condition set forth in Section 9.02(a) as it applies to the

Article 7
Covenants Of Parent

Section 7.01 Conduct of Parent. Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, take any action or fail to take any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the financing thereof; provided, however, that this Section 7.01 shall not apply to the matters covered by Section 8.01, which shall be exclusively governed by Section 8.01.

Section 7.02 Director and Officer Liability. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation hereby agrees, to do the following:

(a) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless the present and former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective successors and heirs (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof) in respect of the Indemnified Persons’ having served in such capacity prior to the Effective Time, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other Applicable Law or provided under the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect on the date hereof. If any Indemnified Person is made party to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to matters that would be indemnifiable pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to), advance fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) as incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with and prior to the final disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation; provided that such Indemnified Person agrees in advance to return any such funds to which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, nonappealable judgment that such Indemnified Person is not ultimately entitled to indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall control any action for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement, and no Indemnified Person shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or otherwise seek termination of, any such action without the Surviving Corporation’s prior written consent. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether the conduct of any Indemnified Person complies or complied with any applicable standard will be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation (which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person), the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation. At its own expense, an

Indemnified Person may, but will not be obligated to, employ separate counsel and participate in the defense of any action involving such Indemnified Person and so controlled by the Surviving Corporation; provided that if (i) the named parties to any such action include the Surviving Corporation and such Indemnified Person and such Indemnified Person is advised by its own counsel that there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Surviving Corporation or any other Indemnified Person that is party thereto, (ii) a conflict of interest exists between such Indemnified Person and the Surviving Corporation or (iii) the Surviving Corporation and such Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel for such Indemnified Person, then in each such case such Indemnified Person will be entitled to obtain its own separate counsel and the Surviving Corporation shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Surviving Corporation shall not settle any action that is indemnifiable pursuant to this Section 7.02, except (i) with the consent of the applicable Indemnified Persons, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (ii) if such settlement or compromise (A) includes an unconditional release thereof from all liability arising out of such action in a form reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Indemnified Persons and (B) does not include a statement or admissions of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person. No Indemnified Person will be liable for any settlement entered into in contravention of the foregoing sentence.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect provisions in the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (or in such documents of any successor to the business of the Surviving Corporation or any such Subsidiary) regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents and advancement of fees, costs and expenses that are no less advantageous to the intended beneficiaries than the corresponding provisions in existence on the date of this Agreement.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, honor and comply with their respective obligations under any indemnification agreement with any Indemnified Person, and not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such agreement in any manner that would adversely affect any right of any Indemnified Person thereunder.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for the noncancelable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), which D&O Insurance shall (i) be for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) be from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance and (iii) have terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against an Indemnified Person by reason of his or her having served in such

capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby); provided that the Company shall not be permitted to pay in excess of the Cap for any such extension policy without Parent’s prior written consent. If the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall continue to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with the Company’s current insurance carrier or with an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof, or the Surviving Corporation shall purchase from the Company’s current insurance carrier or from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof; provided that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies pursuant to this sentence a premium amount in excess of three hundred fifty percent (350%) (the “Cap”) of the premium amount per annum for the Company’s existing policies; and provided, further, that if the aggregate premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(e) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.02.

(f) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.02 will be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under the DGCL or any other Applicable Law or under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. These rights will survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person.

Section 7.03 Employee Matters.

(a) Parent hereby acknowledges and agrees that a “Change in Control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Company Stock Plan and the ESPP containing change in control provisions will occur as of the Effective Time.

(b) For a period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the date that is twelve (12) months thereafter (or such earlier date that any Continuing Employee terminates employment), Parent shall cause each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time whose employment continues as of the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) to receive (i) an annual rate of base salary and wages that is no

less favorable than the annual rate of base salary and wages provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) target cash and equity incentive compensation opportunities (excluding any change in control, retention or similar payments) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the cash and equity incentive compensation opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee during applicable periods prior to the Effective Time (but the form of any particular incentive compensation opportunity need not be the same), and (iii) all other compensation and employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to all other compensation and employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time or that are provided to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries (including severance eligibility and paid time off, but excluding any defined benefit pension and retiree medical or life insurance benefits).

(c) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Surviving Corporation and any of its respective Subsidiaries (and any of their respective third-party insurance providers or third-party administrators) to (i) waive all limitations as to any pre-existing condition or waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee under any employee benefit plan in which such Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate as of or after the Effective Time, to extent pre-existing conditions and waiting periods did not apply or were satisfied under a similar Company Plan prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) credit each Continuing Employee, as of and after the Effective Time, for any copayments, deductibles, offsets or similar payments made under the relevant group health plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the plan year which includes the Effective Time for purposes of satisfying any applicable copayment, deductible, offset or similar requirements under the comparable group health plans of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries). In addition, as of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and any applicable Subsidiary to give all Continuing Employees full credit for such Continuing Employees’ service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all purposes (including eligibility, vesting, accruals and determination of level of benefits) under any compensation and benefit plans, programs, policies, agreements and arrangements maintained by Parent, Merger Sub or an applicable Subsidiary (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) in which any Continuing Employee may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time, to the same extent and for the same purpose that such service was credited for under any similar Company Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that such credit for service shall not apply to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits or compensation or for any purpose under (x) any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical, life insurance or other welfare benefits plan or (y) any plan that is frozen or closed to new entrants or under which similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates do not receive credit for prior service.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 11.06, the provisions of this Section 7.03 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Company Service Provider or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.03. Nothing herein shall, or shall be deemed to, (i) establish, terminate, amend or modify any Company Plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its

Subsidiaries); (ii) alter or limit Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ (including the Surviving Corporation’s) ability to establish, terminate, amend or modify any particular benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement or (iii) confer upon any Company Service Provider any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment.

Section 7.04 Financing Covenants.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub shall (and shall cause their Subsidiaries to) use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain the Financing, including using their reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letters (subject to any amendment, supplement, replacement, substitution, termination or other modification or waiver that is not prohibited by clause (c) below), (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letters (including, with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter, the flex provisions) or on other terms taken as a whole, not materially less favorable to Parent and Merger Sub, (iii) satisfy, or obtain a waiver thereof, on a timely basis all conditions to funding the Commitment Letters and such definitive agreements related thereto, (iv) assuming that all conditions contained in the Commitment Letters have been satisfied, consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing and (v) enforce their rights under the Commitment Letters.

(b) Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed with respect to all material activity concerning the status of the Financing contemplated by either Commitment Letter and shall give the Company notice of any material adverse change with respect to the Financing as promptly as practicable. Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company prompt notice (i) of the termination, repudiation, rescission, cancellation or expiration of any Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements related to the Financing, (ii) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to a Commitment Letter, or any definitive agreements related to the Financing, in each case of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware, (iii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication, in each case received from any Debt Financing Source with respect to any (A) breach of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s (or any of their respective Subsidiaries’) obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing, or actual or potential default, termination or repudiation by any party to any of the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing (including any proposal by any Debt Financing Source, lender or other Person to withdraw, terminate, repudiate, rescind or make a material change in the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter) or (B) material dispute between or among any parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing and (iv) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication on the basis of which Parent expects that a party to the Financing will fail to fund the Financing or is reducing the amount of the Financing. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within three (3) Business Days of the date the Company delivers to Parent or Merger Sub a written request, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent be required to share any information with the Company that is subject to

attorney-client or other privilege; provided that Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to share as much of such information as possible in a manner that would not violate any such privilege.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall have the right from time to time to amend, supplement, replace, substitute, terminate or otherwise modify or waive its rights under either Commitment Letter, including to (i) add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) terminate or reduce any commitments under either Commitment Letter in order to obtain alternative sources of financing in lieu of all or a portion of the Financing, including in connection with a private placement of securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act; provided that no such amendment, supplement, replacement, substitution, termination, modification or waiver shall (A) reduce the aggregate amount of available Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount (except, in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, as set forth in any “market flex” or “structure flex” provisions existing on the date of this Agreement)) to less than the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (when taken together with all cash on hand, available lines of credit and other sources of immediately available funds available to Parent), (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent or expand upon the conditions precedent to the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing as set forth in the existing Debt Commitment Letter or Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable, that would reasonably be expected to make the funding of such Debt Financing or Equity Financing, as applicable, less likely to occur, (C) adversely change the timing of the funding of the Debt Financing or Equity Financing, as applicable, thereunder in a manner that is reasonably expected to impair, delay or prevent the availability of all or a portion of the Financing or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (D) otherwise materially adversely affect the ability of Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent shall furnish to the Company a copy of any executed written amendment, supplement, replacement, substitution, termination, modification or waiver of either Commitment Letter.

(d) In the event that any portion of the Financing necessary for Parent to consummate the Closing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the applicable Commitment Letter (including, in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, the flex provisions) (other than as a result of the Company’s breach of any provision of this Agreement or failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 9.03), (i) Parent shall promptly notify the Company and (ii) Parent and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to (A) arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, any such portion from alternative sources (an “Alternative Financing”) on terms that (1) taken as whole, are no more adverse to Parent and Merger Sub than such existing Commitment Letter (including, in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, after giving effect to the market flex provisions), (2) do not impose new or additional conditions precedent or expand upon the conditions precedent to the Financing set forth in such existing Commitment Letter that would reasonably be expected to make the funding of such Alternative Financing less likely to occur and (3) do not reduce the aggregate amount of available Financing to less than the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement when taken together with other available funds and (B) provide the Company with a copy of the new financing commitment that provides for such Alternative Financing (including all related exhibits, schedules, annexes, supplements and term sheets thereto,

and including any related fee letter, which may be redacted in a manner consistent with Section 5.09, as each of the foregoing may be amended, supplemented, replaced, substituted, terminated or otherwise modified or waived from time to time thereafter in compliance with this Section 7.04, the “Alternative Financing Commitment Letter”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Parent or its Affiliates be required to pay any fees or any interest rates applicable to the Alternative Financing in excess of those contemplated by the applicable Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof (including, in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, the market flex provisions) or agree to any term (including, in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, any market flex term) less favorable to Parent than such term contained in the applicable Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof (including, in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, the market flex provisions).

(e) For purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to representations in this Agreement made by or with respect to Parent or Merger Sub that speak as of the date hereof or another specified date), references to the “Commitment Letters”, “Debt Commitment Letter” or the “Equity Commitment Letter” shall include such document as permitted or required by this Section 7.04 to be amended, supplemented, replaced, substituted, terminated or otherwise modified or waived, in each case from and after such amendment, supplement, replacement, substitution, termination or other modification or waiver and, for the avoidance of doubt, references to “Financing”, “Debt Financing” or “Equity Financing” shall include, in whole or in part (as applicable), any supplemental, replacement or substitute financing provided for thereunder.

Article 8
Covenants Of Parent And The Company

Section 8.01 Regulatory Undertakings.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any actions taken by the Company permitted by Section 6.02 or Section 6.04), the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken (including by causing their Affiliates to take), all actions (including instituting or defending any Proceeding), and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the End Date), including (i) preparing and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable with any Governmental Authority or other third party all documentation to effect all necessary, proper or advisable filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents and (ii) obtaining and maintaining all approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or other third party that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable (and in any event, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the End Date).

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Company and Parent shall (and Parent shall cause its Affiliates to) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the

Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the date hereof (and such filings shall request early termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act), and furnish to the other party as promptly as practicable all information within its (or its Affiliates’) control requested by such other party and required for such other party to make any application or other filing to be made by it pursuant to any Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Parent and the Company shall respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries received from the FTC or the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Authority for additional information or documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Competition Laws and shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and, if applicable, any other applicable Competition Laws as promptly as practicable.

(c) If any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or any other applicable Competition Law, or if any Proceeding is instituted or threatened by any Governmental Authority or Third Party challenging any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall take, or cause to be taken (including by causing their Affiliates to take), all actions reasonably necessary to resolve such objections as promptly as practicable. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any such objection or Proceeding, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, take any such actions as may be reasonably necessary to obtain any authorization, consent or approval of a Governmental Authority or to avoid or eliminate any impediments under the HSR Act or any such other Competition Law so as to enable the consummation of the transactions hereby to occur no later than the End Date, including (i) agreeing to hold separate, sell, license, divest or otherwise dispose of any of the businesses or properties or assets of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) terminating, amending or assigning any existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations, (iii) terminating any venture or other arrangement, (iv) granting any right or commercial or other accommodation to, or entering into any contractual or other commercial relationship with, any Third Party, (v) imposing limitations on Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to how they own, retain, conduct or operate all or any portion of their respective businesses or assets, (vi) effectuating any other change to, or restructuring of, Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (vii) opposing (A) any administrative or judicial Proceeding that is initiated or threatened to be initiated challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Authority vacated or reversed) and (B) any request for, the entry of, and seek to have vacated or terminated, any Order that could reasonably be expected to restrain, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including in the case of either (A) or (B), by defending through litigation any Proceeding brought by any Person in any court or before any Governmental Authority, and pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal (and, in each case, entering into agreements with, or stipulating to the entry of an Order by, any Governmental Authority in connection with any of the foregoing and in the case of Proceedings by or with respect to the Company, by consenting to any such action), in each case, as may be required (x) by the applicable Governmental Authority in order to resolve such objections as such Governmental Authority may have to such transactions

under the HSR Act or any other Applicable Law or (y) by any domestic or foreign court or other tribunal in any Proceeding challenging such transactions as violative of the HSR Act or any other Applicable Law, in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution, vacating, lifting, altering or reversal of, any Order that has the effect of restricting, preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (viii) not take any action (including entering into or consummating any contracts or arrangements for an acquisition, however structured, of any ownership interest, assets or rights in any Person) if such action would (A) reasonably be expected to make it materially more likely that there would arise any impediments under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation laws or other Applicable Laws that may be asserted by the FTC, the Antitrust Division, any State Attorney General or any other Governmental Authority to the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable or (B) impose any material delay in the expiration of any waiting period or obtaining of any approval from any Governmental Authority applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the actions set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 8.01(c) referred to collectively as, “Regulatory Actions”); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.01 or otherwise in this Agreement shall require Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to (and the Company and its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall not, without Parent’s prior written consent) offer, propose, negotiate, commit or agree to, take or effect any Regulatory Action that would be, or would reasonably be expected to be, in the aggregate, material to the Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Company and its Subsidiaries), taken as a whole after giving effect to the Merger, but for purposes of this Section 8.01(c), “material” shall mean material measured on a scale relative only to the size of the Company and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, further, that a Regulatory Action shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger. Solely at the request of Parent (and for the avoidance of doubt not without prior written consent from Parent), the Company shall agree to divest, hold separate or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the businesses, services or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that any such action shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger.

(d) Each party shall (i) promptly notify the other parties of any substantive communication to that party from the FTC, the Antitrust Division, any State Attorney General or any other Governmental Authority regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, subject to Applicable Law, permit the other parties to review, reasonably in advance, any written communication or presentation proposed to be submitted to any Governmental Authority with respect to the foregoing and consider in good faith any comments such other may party may provide thereto; (ii) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning any competition or antitrust matters in connection with this Agreement or the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby unless in each case it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate thereat; and (iii) furnish the other parties with copies of all filings and material correspondences and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between them and their Affiliates and their respective representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members or their respective staffs, on the other hand, with respect to any Competition Laws in connection with this Agreement. The parties hereto

will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto relating to proceedings under any Competition Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without limiting or expanding the rights and obligations set forth in this Section 8.01, Parent shall have the right to direct all matters with any Governmental Authority consistent with its obligations hereunder; provided that Parent reasonably consults with, and considers in good faith, the input of the Company; provided, further, that Parent shall not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or under any other Competition Law or enter into any agreement with the FTC or the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company, which, in the case of the extending any such waiting period, shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any documents or other materials provided pursuant to this Section 8.01(d) may be redacted or withheld as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns, and to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company or other competitively sensitive material, and the Parties may, as each deems advisable, reasonably designate any material provided under this Section 8.01(d) as “outside counsel only material.” Such “outside counsel only materials” and the information contained therein shall be given only to legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such legal counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials.

(e) Parent shall pay and be responsible for all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the matters contemplated by this Section 8.01.

(b) The Company and Parent shall cooperate with one another (i) in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement, (ii) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any material contracts, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) in taking such actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith or with the Proxy Statement and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers.

Parent and the Company shall each use reasonable best efforts to have the

Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable after filing. Prior to each filing of the Proxy Statement or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response) and give reasonable and good-faith consideration to any comments made by Parent and its counsel in connection with any such document or response. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications. None of the Company, Parent or their respective Representatives shall agree to participate in any material or substantive meeting or conference (including by telephone) with the SEC, or any member of the staff thereof, in respect of the Proxy Statement unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by the SEC, allows the other party to participate.

(d) The Company and Parent each agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it or its Subsidiaries for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to stockholders and at the times of the meeting of stockholders of the Company to be held in connection with the Merger, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(e) If at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, any information relating to the Company, Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that it would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall promptly be prepared and filed with the SEC and, to the extent required under Applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.

listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association (provided, in such case, such party has given advance notice (and an opportunity to review and comment to the extent practicable) to the other party), shall not issue any such press release or make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference or conference call before such consultation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the issuance of any press release or the making of any public statement with respect to which the foregoing consultation procedures have been followed, either party may issue such additional publications or press releases and make such other customary announcements without consulting with any other party hereto so long as such additional publications, press releases and announcements do not disclose any nonpublic information regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement beyond the scope of the disclosure included in a previous press release or public statement and such additional publications, press releases or announcements are otherwise consistent with those with respect to which the other party had consented (or been consulted) in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.03.

contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent that any other provision of this Agreement independently provides such right.

Section 8.08 Litigation and Proceedings.

(iv) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to (i) (A) ‎‎Section 10.01(b)(i) (End Date) and, at the time of such termination, the conditions set forth in ‎‎Section 9.01(b) (in connection with the matters that are the subject of Section 8.01) or ‎‎Section 9.01(c) shall not have been satisfied or (B) ‎‎Section 10.01(b)(ii) (Order) (in connection with the matters that are the subject of Section 8.01), and at the time of such termination referred to in clause (A) or (B) above, the conditions set forth in Section 9.02(a) shall have been satisfied. other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing (assuming for the purpose of determining whether the conditions set forth in ‎‎ Section 9.02(a) have been satisfied in this clause, that all references to “Closing” or “Closing Date” in ‎‎ Section 9.02(a) shall be deemed to refer instead to the time of termination of this Agreement) or waived in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) Section 10.01(d)(ii) (Parent Breach) (in connection with the matters that are the subject of Section 8.01), then Parent shall, within three (3) Business Days following any such termination, pay to the Company, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Company, $221,000,000 (such fee, the “Parent Regulatory Termination Fee”). If this Agreement is terminated in circumstances where both the Parent Termination Fee would be payable pursuant to Section 11.04(b)(iii) and the Parent Regulatory Termination Fee would be payable pursuant to Section 11.04(b)(iv), then the Parent Termination Fee shall be deemed not to be payable and only the Parent Regulatory Termination Fee shall be payable.

(c) Each party agrees that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 11.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other parties would not enter into this Agreement and (ii) in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages with respect to the foregoing, the right to payment of the Company Termination Fee, the Parent Termination Fee or the Parent Regulatory Termination Fee, as applicable, constitutes a reasonable estimate of the losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses that will be suffered by reason of any such valid termination of this Agreement and constitutes liquidated damages (and not a penalty) (and that neither such amount is excessive or unreasonably large, given the parties’ intent and dealings with each other) and hereby irrevocably

waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any claim to the contrary.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 11.04(e)), (i) Parent and Merger Sub agree that, except in the case of fraud or any material and willful breach of this Agreement by the Company, upon any valid termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.04 and such Company Termination Fee is paid in full, the receipt by Parent of the Company Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages and the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, stockholders, Affiliates or Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any breach of this Agreement and (ii) the Company agrees that, except in the case of fraud or any material and willful breach of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, upon any valid termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Parent Termination Fee or the Parent Regulatory Termination Fee is payable by Parent pursuant to this Section 11.04 and such fee is paid in full, the receipt by the Company of such fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages and the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and the Company shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, stockholders, Affiliates or Representatives or any of the Financing Sources Related Parties in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall the Company or Parent, as applicable, be required to pay the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee or the Parent Regulatory Termination Fee, as applicable, on more than one occasion. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.04(d) shall limit any remedies of Parent or the Company prior to any such valid termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee, the Parent Termination Fee or the Parent Regulatory Termination Fee is payable pursuant to this Section 11.04, including specific performance pursuant to Section 11.13. In no event will any Party be entitled to receive both (x) a grant of specific performance which results in the consummation of the Closing as contemplated in this Agreement and (y) payment of the Company Termination Fee, the Parent Termination Fee or the Parent Regulatory Termination Fee, as applicable.

(e) If the Company or Parent fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 11.04 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent or the Company, as applicable, commences a Proceeding that results in a judgment against the other for such amount or any portion thereof, the responsible party will pay the other its reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Proceeding, together with interest on such amount due or portion thereof at the annual rate of five percent (5%) plus the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date that such payment or portion thereof was required to be made through the date that such payment or portion thereof was actually received, or a lesser rate that is the maximum permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 11.05 Disclosure Schedule and SEC Document References. The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company or either Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, that are contained in the corresponding section of this Agreement and (b) any other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company or either Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, that are contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) is reasonably apparent on its face. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule will not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, and the disclosure therein of any allegations with respect to any alleged breach, violation or default under any contractual or other obligation, or any law, is not an admission that such breach, violation or default has occurred. Headings and subheadings have been inserted in certain sections of the Company Disclosure Schedule and Parent Disclosure Schedule for convenience of reference only and will not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of such sections. The information provided in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule is being provided solely for the purpose of making disclosures under this Agreement. In disclosing such information, the disclosing party does not waive, and expressly reserves any rights under, any attorney-client privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed therein.

Section 11.06 Binding Effect; Third Party Beneficiaries; Assignment.

(a) Subject to Section 11.06(b), the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, other than: (i) with respect to the provision of Section 7.02, which shall insure to the benefit of the Persons benefiting therefrom who are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof; (ii) the right of any holders of Company Common Shares, Company Restricted Shares and Company RSUs to receive the Merger Consideration following the Effective Time in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 11.04(d)); and (iii) the right of the Company, on behalf of the holders of Company Common Shares, Company Restricted Shares and Company RSUs, (each of which are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement to the extent required for this clause (iii) to be enforceable), to pursue specific performance as set forth in Section 11.13 or, if specific performance is not sought or granted as a remedy, damages (which damages the parties acknowledge and agree will not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out of pocket costs and may include the benefit of the bargain lost by such holders (including the premium reflected in the Merger Consideration, which was specifically negotiated by the Board of Directors on behalf of such holders and taking into consideration all other relevant matters)) in the event of a breach hereof by Parent of this Agreement, it being agreed that in no event shall any such holder be entitled to enforce any of their rights, or any of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations, under this Agreement in the event of any

such breach, but rather the Company shall have the sole and exclusive right to do so, as agent for such holders.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto; provided that either Parent and Merger Sub may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (i) another wholly owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent or (ii) after the Effective Time, to any Person (provided that, in each case, no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations under this Agreement or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any party hereto or due to Parent or Merger Sub). Any purported assignment, delegation or other transfer without such consent or otherwise consistent with the foregoing sentence shall be void.

Section 11.07 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules or other rules that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction. Any and all claims, controversies, causes of action, or other Proceedings arising out or relating to this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, or statute, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflicts of law rules or other rules that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction.

Section 11.08 Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, relating to, or in connection with, this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the Delaware Chancery Court or, if such court shall not have or declines jurisdiction, any federal court or other Delaware state courts, in each case, located in New Castle County in the State of Delaware (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”), and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such Chosen Courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Proceeding in any such Chosen Court or that any such Proceeding brought in any such Chosen Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such Proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in ‎‎Section 11.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 11.09 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF

THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.09.

Section 11.10 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by each other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written definitive agreement or other communication). The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .pdf or DocuSign format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 11.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Clean Team Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 11.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of proving that irreparable damage would occur or the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties hereto hereby waive any defense, and agree not to assert (or interpose as a defense or in opposition), that a remedy of speciﬁc performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, prior to the End Date, any party brings any suit, action or proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party, the End Date shall automatically be extended by the amount of time during which such suit, action or proceeding

is pending, plus five (5) Business Days, or such longer time period established by the court presiding over such suit, action or proceeding, if any.

Section 11.14 Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company and Parent, on behalf of themselves and their Subsidiaries, hereby: (i) (x) agree that any action, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, involving any Financing Sources Related Party, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, so long as such forum is and remains available, and any appellate court thereof and (y) irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, and such action (except to the extent relating to the interpretation of any provisions in this Agreement (including any provision in any documentation related to the Financing that expressly specifies that the interpretation of such provisions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York)) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction), (ii) agree not to bring or support, or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support any action of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Sources Related Party in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, (iii) agree that service of process upon the Company or Parent, or any of their Subsidiaries in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 11.01, (iv) waive, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action in any such court, (v) waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights of trial by jury in any action brought against the Financing Sources Related Parties in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (vi) agree that no Financing Sources Related Party will have any liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement, the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall affect the rights of Parent against the Financing Sources Related Parties with respect to the Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any services thereunder) and (vii) agree that (x) the Financing Sources Related Parties are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, the foregoing agreements in Section 11.04(d) (solely to the extent that it relates to the Financing Sources) and this Section 11.14 and (y) such provisions (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provision would modify the substance of this Section 11.14) shall not be amended in any way materially adverse to any Financing Source Related Parties without the prior written consent of each related Debt Financing Source party to the Debt Commitment Letter at such time or Equity Financing Source, as applicable. This Section 11.14 will, with respect to the matters referenced herein, supersede any

provisions of this Agreement to the contrary. The provisions of this Section 11.14 will survive any termination of this Agreement.

The Corporation reserves the right at any time from time to time to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, and any other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force to be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law; and all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in this Article VII.

Article VIII

Section 1. Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director or officer, as applicable, of the Corporation shall not be personally liable either to the Corporation or to any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence will be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer, as applicable, of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal. If the DGCL hereafter is amended to further eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer, then a director or officer, as applicable, of the Corporation, in addition to the circumstances in which a director or officer, as applicable, is not personally liable as set forth in the preceding sentence, shall not be liable to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DCGL. For purposes of this Article VIII, “director” and “officer” shall have the meanings provided in Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL as they presently exists or as they may hereafter be amended, supplemented or replaced.

Section 2. Indemnification and Advance of Expenses.

(a) Right to Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (each, a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, damages, claims and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. Such right to indemnification shall inure to the benefit of any such person’s heirs, executors, and personal and legal representatives. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create

Ex. A-3

a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 2 of this Article VIII or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 2 of this Article VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(a) of this Article VIII, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

(b) Assumption of Good Faith. For purposes of any determination under Section 2(a) of this Article VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 2(b) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2(a) of this Article VIII.

(c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 2 of this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Amended and Restated Certificate, the Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 2(a) of this Article VIII, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 2(a) of this Article VIII. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2(a) of this Article VIII. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 2(a) of this Article VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such

Ex. A-4

application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

(d) Repeal; Amendment. Any repeal or amendment of this Article VIII by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Section 2 of this Article VIII, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

(e) No Limitation. Section 2 of this Article VIII shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.

(f) Insurance. The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 2 of this Article VIII or otherwise.
