2.6Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time, the board of directors and executive officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the board of directors and executive officers of the Company immediately prior to the Closing, each to hold office in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal; provided that, in advance of the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to change certain provisions as more particularly contemplated in Section 7.3(e) hereof, and to otherwise be appropriate for a public company listed on Nasdaq.

2.7Merger Consideration.

(a)Merger Consideration Shares. At the Closing, subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as consideration for the Merger, the Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive from the Parent, a number of shares of Parent Capital Stock with an aggregate value equal to the Merger Consideration, with the Company Stockholders receiving a number of shares of Parent Capital Stock equal to (i) the Merger Consideration, divided by (ii) the applicable Per Share Price (collectively, the “Merger Consideration Shares”) as more particularly set forth on Schedule 2.7.

(b)Estimated Closing Statement. Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement certified by the Company’s chief executive officer (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth the Merger Consideration (accounting for any adjustments pursuant to Sections 2.7 and 9.2(a) hereof) and resulting Merger Consideration Shares to be issued by Parent at the Closing using the formula in Section 2.7(a), which Estimated Closing Statement shall be subject to the review and the reasonable approval by Parent. Promptly after delivering the Estimated Closing Statement to Parent, the Company will meet with Parent to review and discuss the Estimated Closing Statement and the Company will consider in good faith Parent’s comments to the Estimated Closing Statement and make any appropriate adjustments to the Estimated Closing Statement prior to the Closing, as mutually approved by the Company and Parent both acting reasonably and in good faith, which adjusted Estimated Closing Statement shall thereafter become the Estimated Closing Statement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Estimated Closing Statement and the determinations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP or other applicable accounting principles and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. Schedule 2.7 sets forth an illustrative statement prepared in good faith by the Company in cooperation with Parent setting forth the various line items used (or to be used) in, and illustrating for sample purposes only as of the date set forth therein, the calculation of the Company Valuation as adjusted as contemplated herein, and the resulting Merger Consideration and Merger Consideration Shares, if the Closing had occurred on such date, in each case prepared and calculated in accordance with this Agreement.

2.8Effect on Capital Stock.

(a)Capital Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities, the following will occur:

(i)Company Stock. Subject to clause (ii) below, all shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and

cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, upon delivery of transmittal documents in accordance with Section 2.8. As of the Effective Time, the Company Stockholders shall cease to have any other rights in and to the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

(ii)Treasury Stock. Notwithstanding clause (i) above or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at the Effective Time, if there are any shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be canceled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

(b)Statutory Rights of Appraisal.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if required by the NRS (but only to the extent required thereby), all shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by Company Stockholders who have neither voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement nor consented thereto in writing and who have properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 92A.380 of the NRS (the “Dissenting Company Shares”) will not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.7 and instead will entitle the holders thereof to such rights as are granted to such holders by Section 92A.380 of the NRS. Each Dissenting Company Share held by a Company Stockholder who has failed to perfect or who has effectively withdrawn or lost his, her or its rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Share pursuant to Section 92A.380 of the NRS will thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of the Company Certificate in the manner provided in Section 2.10.

(ii)The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice and copies of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to the Company Stockholders’ demands of appraisal and (B) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and Legal Proceedings with respect to any demand for appraisal under the NRS. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisals, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

2.9Warrants. All Company Warrants issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall be treated as is contemplated in the applicable Common Stock Purchase Warrant by and between the Company and the Company Warrant holder.

2.10Surrender of Company Capital Stock and Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a)Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall appoint its transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, or another agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of exchanging the certificates representing Company Capital Stock (“Company Certificates”). At or prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent the Merger Consideration. The delivery of Company Certificates in respect of the Merger Consideration shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Company Certificates to the Exchange Agent (or a Lost Certificate Affidavit) for use in such exchange.

(b)The Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive their share of the Merger Consideration in respect of their respective shares of Company Capital Stock, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but subject to the delivery to the Exchange Agent of the following items prior thereto: (i) the Company Certificates for its Company Capital Stock (or a Lost Certificate Affidavit), and (ii) such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent. Until so surrendered, each Company Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such portion of the Merger Consideration attributable to such Company Certificate.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any Company Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, in lieu of delivery of a Company Certificate to the Exchange Agent, the Company Stockholder may instead deliver to the Exchange Agent an affidavit of lost certificate and indemnity of loss in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Exchange Agent (a “Lost Certificate Affidavit”), which at the reasonable discretion of the Exchange Agent may include a requirement that the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by the Company Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. Any Lost Certificate Affidavit properly delivered in accordance with this Section 2.10(c) shall be treated as a Company Certificate for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d)All Parent Capital Stock issued upon the surrender of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Capital Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, the Parent or any Party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a share of Parent Capital Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Capital Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Capital Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall instead have the number of shares of Parent Capital Stock issued to such Person rounded up in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of Parent Capital Stock.

2.11Necessary Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, then the directors and officers of the Company and Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will take all such lawful and necessary action.

2.12Adjustment to Merger Consideration. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock occurs as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend, or any record date for any such purpose is established, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement will be appropriately adjusted, provided that nothing in this Section 2.12 shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

2.13Tax Treatment. For federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The Parties adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

On the date of filing, the date of mailing to the Company Stockholders (if applicable) and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Proxy Statement will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not false or misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no covenant is made by the Company with respect to any information supplied by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement. The information supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will not, at the time that such Proxy Statement is filed with the SEC, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(ii)Parent. The information supplied by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will not, at the time that the Proxy Statement is filed with the SEC, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the

statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no covenant is made by Parent or Merger Sub with respect to any information supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement.

6.3Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a)Call of Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company will take all action necessary in accordance with the NRS, the Charter, the Bylaws and the rules of OTCQB to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company Stockholders, for the sole purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval and obtaining advisory approval of the compensation that the Company’s named executive officers may receive in connection with the Merger (and, if applicable, for the Company Stockholders to act on such other matters of procedure required in connection with the adoption of this Agreement and matters required by applicable Law to be voted on by the Company Stockholders in connection with the adoption of this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company will convene, subject to Section 6.3(b), and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting on or around the 20^th Business Day following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company Stockholders or on such other date elected by the Company with Parent’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Subject to Section 5.3 and unless there has been a Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company will include (i) the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval.

(b)Adjournment of Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company will cooperate with and keep Parent informed upon Parent’s reasonable request regarding its solicitation efforts and voting results following the dissemination of the Proxy Statement to the Company Stockholders. The Company will be permitted to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting if, but only if, (i) as of the time that the Company Stockholder Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are holders of an insufficient number of shares of the Company Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Stockholder Meeting, (ii) the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) (A) that it is required by applicable Law or order to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting, (B) that such postponement or adjournment is required by applicable Law to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that is required by applicable Law is provided to Company Stockholders with adequate time for review prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting or (C) that such postponement or adjournment is necessary to permit completion of any pending notice period in respect of a Company Board Recommendation Change, (iii) the Company is requested to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by the SEC or its staff or (iv) with the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event will the Company Stockholder Meeting be postponed or adjourned (i) by more than 10 calendar days at a time without the prior written consent of Parent; or (ii) with respect to Section 6.3(a), by more than 30 calendar days after the date on which the Company Stockholder Meeting was (or was required to be) originally scheduled without the prior written consent of Parent. In no event will the record date of the Company Stockholder Meeting be changed without Parent’s prior written consent. The Company will postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting on one or more occasions for an aggregate period of up to 30 days if so requested by Parent (and subsequently hold the Company Stockholder Meeting as promptly as practicable after such postponement or adjournment), in each case, if, on the date for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is then-scheduled, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present. Without the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the adoption of this Agreement shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedure and matters required

by applicable Law to be voted on by the Company Stockholders in connection with the adoption of this Agreement) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

6.4Anti-Takeover Laws. The Company and the Company Board will (a) take all actions within their power to ensure that no “anti-takeover” statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to the Merger; and (b) if any “anti-takeover” statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to the Merger, take all action within their power to ensure that the Merger may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger.

6.5Access. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE VIII and the Effective Time, the Company will afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the properties, books and records, facilities and personnel and Representatives of the Company, except that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (a) any applicable Law or regulation requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information; (b) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other privilege applicable to such documents or information, provided that the Company shall take all reasonable steps to permit inspection of or to disclose such information and to respond in a timely manner to all subsequent queries by Parent and its Representatives based on such information on a basis that does not compromise the Company’s attorney-client or other privilege with respect thereto; (c) access to a Contract in effect as of the date of this Agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound would violate or cause a default pursuant to, or give a third Person the right to terminate or accelerate the rights pursuant to, such Contract; or (d) such access unreasonably interferes with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or creates a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Subject to applicable Law and the immediately preceding sentence, the Company will provide Parent with reports of the Company reasonably requested by Parent. Any access to the properties (including systems) of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and will not include the right to perform invasive testing. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement will apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its Representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.5. All requests for access pursuant to this Section 6.5 must be directed to an officer of the Company, or another person designated in writing by the Company.

6.6Section 16(b)-3 Exemption. The Company will take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Merger, and any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the Merger by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company, to be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Parent will take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Merger, and any acquisitions of equity securities of Parent (including derivative securities) in connection with the Merger by each individual who is contemplated to become a director or executive officer of Parent, to be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.7Directors’ and Officers’ Exculpation and Indemnification.

(a)Indemnified Persons. The Surviving Corporation will (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) honor and fulfill, in all respects, the obligations of the Company pursuant to any indemnification agreements set forth in the Charter and the Bylaws as in effect on the date of this Agreement with respect to any of the Company’s current or former directors and officers (collectively, the

“Indemnified Persons”). (For avoidance of doubt: (i) the Parent will honor and fulfill, in all respects, the obligations of the Parent pursuant to any indemnification agreements set forth in the Charter and the Bylaws as in effect on the date of this Agreement with respect to any of the Parent’s current or former directors and officers for any acts taken in their respective capacities as directors or officers of Parent; and, (ii) no director or officer of Parent, upon such person’s resignation, removal or other termination from such directorship or office, shall be held liable for any acts taken by Parent, its directors or officers after such person’s resignation, removal or other termination from such directorship or office.) In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) cause the articles of incorporation, bylaws and other similar organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Persons as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Charter and the Bylaws as of the date of this Agreement. During such six-year period, such provisions may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable Law.

(b)Indemnification Obligation. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 6.7(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement or compromise in connection with any Legal Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent that such Legal Proceeding arises, directly or indirectly, out of or pertains, directly or indirectly, to (i) any action or omission, or alleged action or omission, in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, at or after the Effective Time); and (ii) the Merger, as well as any actions taken by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub with respect thereto, except that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.7(b), then the claim asserted in such notice will survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such Legal Proceeding, (A) the Surviving Corporation will have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time; (B) each Indemnified Person will be entitled to retain his or her own counsel (the fees and expenses of which will be paid by the Surviving Corporation), whether or not the Surviving Corporation elects to control the defense of any such Legal Proceeding; (C) the Surviving Corporation will advance all fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of any counsel) as incurred by an Indemnified Person in the defense of such Legal Proceeding, whether or not the Surviving Corporation elects to control the defense of any such Legal Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified; and (D) no Indemnified Person will be liable for any settlement of such Legal Proceeding effected without his or her prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any of their respective Affiliates will settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or otherwise seek the termination of, any Legal Proceeding for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such Legal Proceeding. 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 will be paid by the Surviving Corporation.

(c)Successors and Assigns. If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns will (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provisions will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns will assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.7.

(d)No Impairment. The obligations set forth in this Section 6.7 may not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person. Each of the Indemnified Persons (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7, with full rights of enforcement as if a Party. The rights of the Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Section 6.7 will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have pursuant to (i) the Charter and Bylaws; (ii) the similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company; (iii) any and all indemnification agreements entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iv) applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

(e)Other Claims. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to, release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.7 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims pursuant to such policies or agreements.

6.8Employee Matters.

(a)Employment; Benefits. The Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to) continue the employment of all employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries set forth on Section 6.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter as of the Effective Time by taking such actions, if any, as are required by applicable Law. For a period of twelve months following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) ensure that each Continuing Employee receives target cash compensation, benefits and severance payments that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in the aggregate than the target cash compensation (other than any equity-based compensation, retention, transaction, milestone or other one-time bonus or payment), benefits and severance payments and benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b)No Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Section 6.8 will not be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee for any reason; (ii) require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to implement or continue any Employee Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time; or (iii) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person.

6.9Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent will take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement and to consummate the Merger upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Parent and Merger Sub will be jointly and severally liable for the failure by either of them to perform and discharge any of their respective covenants, agreements and obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

8.2Manner and Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination.

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

(b)Effect of Termination. Any proper and valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 will be effective immediately upon the delivery of written notice by the terminating Party to the other Parties. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement will be of no further force or effect without liability of any Party (or any partner, member, stockholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate, agent or other representative of such Party) to the other Parties, as applicable, except that Section 3.25, Section 4.10, Section 6.11, the reimbursement obligations of Parent set forth in this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and ARTICLE VIII will each survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will relieve any Party from any liability for any willful breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful breach” means a material breach that is a consequence of an act taken by the breaching party, or the failure by the breaching party to take an act it is required to take under this Agreement, in each case with actual knowledge that the taking of, or the failure to take, such act would, or would be reasonably expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement will affect the rights or obligations of any Party pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement, which rights, obligations and agreements will survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.

8.3Fees and Expenses.

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

(b)Payment Borne by Non-Terminating Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(f) (to the extent such termination pursuant to Section 8.1(f) results from a breach of this Agreement by Parent or its Subsidiaries), all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by Parent; and, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(d) (to the extent such termination pursuant to Section 8.1(d) results from a breach of this Agreement by the Company or its Subsidiaries), all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by the Parent in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the Company.

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

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

warranties, covenants and closing conditions in this Agreement will be construed to be cumulative and that each representation, warranty, covenant and closing condition in this Agreement will be given full, separate and independent effect and nothing set forth in any provision herein will (except to the extent expressly stated) in any way be deemed to limit the scope, applicability or effect of any other provision hereof.
