1.4    Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock of the Merging Corporations.

(a)    Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall thereafter evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)    Capital Stock of Qumu.

(i)    Generally. 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 Synacor, Merger Sub, Qumu, or the holders of any of the following securities, other than as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.4(b), each share of Qumu Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive 1.61 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Synacor Common Stock (such ratio, as such number may be adjusted in accordance with this Section 1.4(b)(i), the “Exchange Ratio”) and the cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i) (the “Common Stock Consideration”) upon the surrender of such share of Qumu Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.3(c) (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit of loss and indemnity in the manner provided in Section

2.3(e)); provided, however, that (x) the Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Synacor Common Stock or Qumu Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Synacor Common Stock or Qumu Common Stock having a record date on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time (provided, that nothing in this proviso shall be construed to permit Synacor or Qumu to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement), and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, no fraction of a share of Synacor Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, and in lieu thereof, each holder of record of shares of Qumu Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Synacor Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i) (after aggregating all fractional shares of Synacor Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder of record) shall, upon the surrender of such share of Qumu Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.3(c) (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit of loss and indemnity in the manner provided in Section 2.3(e)), receive an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying such fraction by the Closing Average. From and after the Effective Time, all shares of Qumu Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of shares of Qumu Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of Synacor Common Stock issuable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i), cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i) and any dividends or other distributions payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d). All shares of Synacor Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Qumu Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i) in lieu of a fractional share of Synacor Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions paid in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d)) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Qumu Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Qumu Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a Certificate representing shares of Qumu Common Stock is presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, then such Certificate shall be canceled and exchanged for the Common Stock Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.4(b), any cash payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i) in lieu of a fractional share of Synacor Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d).

(ii)    Owned Shares of Qumu Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, 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 Synacor, Merger Sub, Qumu, or the holders of any of the following securities, each share of Qumu Common Stock that is owned by Synacor, Merger Sub or Qumu, or by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Synacor, Merger Sub or Qumu, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

(c)    Qumu Stock Awards. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Qumu Stock Award that was granted prior to the date hereof and is outstanding (and with respect to Qumu Stock Options, exercisable) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and any restrictions or risk of forfeiture shall lapse. Any Qumu Common Stock required to be issued to the holder of such Qumu Stock Award following such required acceleration of vesting, lapse of restrictions, settlement or delivery shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and treated in accordance with Section 1.4(b). After giving effect to the foregoing, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without necessity of any further action, each Qumu Stock Option that was granted prior to the date hereof and is outstanding and exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall terminate and be cancelled, with the holder thereof becoming entitled to receive, on the date on which the Effective Time occurs, an amount in cash, without interest and subject to Section 2.3(g), equal to: (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Qumu Common Stock on the Closing Date over (B) the exercise price per share of Qumu Common Stock subject to such Qumu Stock Option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Qumu Common Stock subject to such Qumu Stock Option at the Effective Time and if the exercise price of such Qumu Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value, such Qumu Stock Option shall terminate and be cancelled without any consideration being payable in respect thereof. For purposes of this Section 1.4(c), “Fair Market Value” shall be the last reported sales price on Nasdaq of one share of Qumu Common Stock on the Closing Date. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, but in no event later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date that is at least 30 calendar days following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall make a payroll payment through the Surviving Corporation’s or Synacor’s payroll provider, subject to Section 2.3(g), of the amounts determined under this Section 1.4(c) to the applicable holders thereof; provided that if any payment owed to a holder of a Qumu Stock Option cannot be made through such payroll provider, then the Surviving Corporation or Synacor will issue a check for such payment to the holder thereof, subject to Section 2.3(g).

(d)    Interim Qumu Stock Awards. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without necessity of any further action, each Qumu Stock Award that is granted on or after the date hereof, is held by a current service provider of Qumu and is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 1.4(c) but shall be assumed by Synacor as follows:

(i)    Restricted Stock Awards. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without necessity of any further action, each award of Qumu Restricted Stock (i.e., Qumu Common Stock that remains subject to a risk of forfeiture or other service‑based condition under the applicable Qumu Restricted Stock Award agreement) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Synacor and converted into a right to receive that number of shares of Synacor Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Qumu Restricted Stock by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Synacor Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Restricted Stock Award”). Each Assumed Restricted Stock Award shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to the satisfaction of service-based requirements and settlement) as were applicable under respective Qumu Restricted Stock award agreement immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(ii)    Stock Options. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without necessity of any further action, each Qumu Stock Option, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by Synacor and converted into an option to acquire that number of shares of Synacor Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Qumu Common Stock subject to such Qumu Stock Option by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Synacor Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Option”). Each Assumed Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the respective Qumu Stock Option and Qumu Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to Section 1.4(c) to the extent required), except that each Assumed Option shall have an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of Qumu Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option by (y) the Exchange Ratio (which price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). It is the intention of the parties that each Assumed Option that qualified as a United States-based incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall continue to so qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time and that any Assumed Option that was exempt from or complied with Code 409A as of immediately prior to the Effective Time continues to be exempt from or comply with Code 409A as applicable, as of immediately after the Effective Time.

(iii)    Qumu Restricted Stock Units and Qumu Performance Stock Units. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without necessity of any further action, each Qumu Restricted Stock Unit and each Qumu Performance Stock Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and remains subject to the satisfaction of service-based or performance-based requirements under the respective Qumu Restricted Stock Unit or Qumu Performance Stock Unit shall be assumed by Synacor and converted into an award to receive that number of shares of Synacor Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Qumu Common Stock subject to such Qumu Restricted Stock Unit or Qumu Performance Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Synacor Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Stock Unit”). Each Assumed Stock Unit shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to the satisfaction of service-based and performance-based requirements and settlement) as were applicable under the respective Qumu Restricted Stock Unit or Qumu Performance Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that any such Stock Unit that complied with Code 409A as of immediately prior to the Effective Time continues to comply with Code 409A as of immediately after the Effective Time.

(e)    Warrants.

(i)    Prior to the Effective Time, Qumu shall deliver to the holders of Qumu Warrants notices consistent with the terms and conditions of the applicable Qumu Warrant.

(ii)    Prior to the Effective Time, Qumu shall take all necessary action so that the Qumu Warrants shall be cancelled and extinguished at the Effective Time and shall not be assumed by Synacor in the Merger (which for the avoidance of doubt, may include the proper exercise of the iStudy Warrant for Qumu Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time,

such that the Qumu Common Stock issued thereunder shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and treated in accordance with Section 1.4(b)).

(f)    Registration Statements for Assumed Options and Other Awards. At the Effective Time, and provided there are any Assumed Options, Assumed Restricted Stock Awards or Assumed Stock Units at the Effective Time per operation of Section 1.4(d), Synacor shall assume all the obligations of Qumu under the Qumu Stock Plan, each outstanding Assumed Option, Assumed Restricted Stock Award, and Assumed Stock Unit, and the agreements evidencing the grants thereof. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Synacor shall deliver to the holders of Assumed Options, Assumed Restricted Stock Awards, and Assumed Stock Units appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights, and the agreements evidencing the grants of such Assumed Options, Assumed Restricted Stock Awards, and Assumed Stock Units shall otherwise continue in effect. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, but in no event later than five (5) business days following the Effective Time, Synacor shall file a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-8 or another appropriate form (and use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness thereof and maintain the current status of the prospectuses contained therein) relating to shares of Synacor Common Stock issuable with respect to the Assumed Options, Assumed Restricted Stock Awards, and Assumed Stock Units, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to remain in effect for so long as such Assumed Options, Assumed Restricted Stock Awards, and Assumed Stock Units remain outstanding.

1.5    Settlement of Certain Qumu Liabilities. At or prior to the Closing, Qumu will pay (i) all broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fees or commissions and expenses due to Stifel in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) all expenses incurred by the Qumu and its Subsidiaries in connection with negotiating this Agreement, holding the Qumu Shareholders Meeting, soliciting and obtaining the Qumu Shareholder Approval and as is otherwise set forth in Section 9.3(a) hereof.

1.6    Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of Qumu and Merger Sub, the directors and officers of Qumu and Merger Sub shall have the authority to take all such lawful and necessary action.

1.7    Tax Reorganization. The parties hereto intend, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and that this Agreement is hereby adopted as a plan of reorganization for purposes of Section 354 and Section 361 of the Code and within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g), to which Qumu, Synacor and the Merger Sub are parties under Section 368(b) of the Code.

(a)    Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, Synacor shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Qumu to act as the exchange agent for the Merger pursuant to an exchange agent agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Qumu (the “Exchange Agent”).

(b)    Exchange Fund.

(i)    Creation of Exchange Fund. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (and in any event, within ten (10) business days thereafter), Synacor shall deposit with the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article II, the shares of Synacor Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book entry form) issuable pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i) in exchange for shares of Qumu Common Stock. In addition, Synacor shall make available from time to time after the Effective Time as necessary, cash in an amount sufficient to pay any cash payable pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i) in lieu of fractional shares of Synacor Common Stock and any dividends or distributions to which holders of shares of Qumu Common Stock may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(d). Any Synacor Common Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.”

(ii)    Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall, at the request of Synacor or the Surviving Corporation, be delivered to Synacor or the Surviving Corporation or otherwise according to the instruction of Synacor or the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of the Certificates who have not surrendered such Certificates in compliance with this Section 2.3 shall after such delivery to Synacor and the Surviving Corporation look only to Synacor and the Surviving Corporation (subject to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirement) as general creditors thereof for delivery or payment of the applicable shares of Synacor Common Stock issuable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i), cash payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i) in lieu of any fractional shares of Synacor Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d).

(c)    Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, Synacor shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of shares of Qumu Common Stock that were converted pursuant to Section 1.4(b) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form as Qumu and Synacor may reasonably agree which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass (x) with respect to the certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Qumu Common Stock, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or effective affidavits in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent and (y) with respect to outstanding shares of Qumu Common Stock held in book-entry immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Book-Entry Shares”), upon proper delivery of any “agent’s message” regarding the book-entry transfer of such Book-Entry Shares (or such other evidence, if any, of the transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, in exchange for whole shares of Synacor Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i), cash payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i) in lieu of any fractional shares of Synacor Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d). Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Synacor, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such

Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of whole shares of Synacor Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates or such Book-Entry Shares surrendered by such holder of record) such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i) (which shall be in uncertificated book entry form), payment of any cash such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i) in lieu of fractional shares of Synacor Common Stock and any dividends or distributions such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.3(d), and the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose for an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal and customary exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, on the cash amounts payable upon the surrender of such Certificates pursuant to this Section 2.3. Until so surrendered, from and after the Effective Time outstanding Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall be deemed to evidence only the ownership of the number of full shares of Synacor Common Stock into which such shares of Qumu Common Stock shall have been so converted and the right to receive an amount in cash in lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.4(b)(i) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d).

(d)    Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared or made after the date hereof with respect to Synacor Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time, such declaration shall include a dividend or other distribution in respect of all shares of Synacor Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date hereof with respect to Synacor Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holders of any unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, with respect to the shares of Synacor Common Stock represented thereby until the holders of record of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall surrender such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, respectively. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, following surrender of any Certificates or Book Entry Shares in the manner provided in Section 2.3(c), the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, promptly after such surrender, the number of whole shares of Synacor Common Stock issued in exchange therefor along with any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Synacor Common Stock.

(e)    Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the shares of Synacor Common Stock issuable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i), the cash payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i) in lieu of fractional shares of Synacor Common Stock and any dividends or distributions payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d); provided, however, that Synacor may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a customary indemnity against any claim that may be made against Synacor, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f)    Transferred Shares. In the event that a transfer of ownership of shares of Qumu Common Stock is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of Qumu, or if shares of Synacor Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, so surrendered are properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid to Synacor (or any agent designated by Synacor) any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of Synacor Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Synacor (or any agent designated by Synacor) that such transfer or other Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable.

(g)    Tax Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent, Synacor and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law or under any applicable Legal Requirement and shall be entitled to request any reasonably appropriate Tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 (or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable), from any Person receiving payments hereunder. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(h)    No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Exchange Agent, Synacor, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Synacor Common Stock or Qumu Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirement. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares as of the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Exchange Fund would otherwise escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Authority) shall, to the extent permissible by Legal Requirement, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i)    Investment of the Exchange Fund. Any funds included in the Exchange Fund may be invested by the Exchange Agent, as directed by Synacor. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall promptly be paid to Synacor. Any loss of any of the funds included in the Exchange Fund shall be for the account of Synacor and shall not alter Synacor’s obligation to cause to be paid any amounts owed to holders of Qumu Common Stock pursuant to Article I and this Article II.

Except (i) as set forth in the disclosure letter that has been prepared by Qumu and delivered by Qumu to Synacor in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Qumu Disclosure Letter”), which expressly identifies the Section (or, if

applicable, subsection) to which such exception relates (it being understood and hereby agreed that any disclosure in the Qumu Disclosure Letter relating to one Section or subsection shall also apply to any other Sections and subsections if and to the extent that it is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure (without reference to the underlying documents referenced therein) that such disclosure also relates to such other Sections or subsections), or (ii) as set forth in any Qumu SEC Reports filed with, or furnished to, the SEC and publicly available on or after January 1, 2019 and prior to the date hereof (other than in any “risk factors” or other disclosure statements included therein that are cautionary, predictive or forward looking in nature and not statements of historical fact; provided that the exception provided for in this clause (ii) shall (x) be applied with respect to a particular representation or warranty in this Article III only to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the text of such reports that such disclosure relates to such representation or warranty, and (y) not apply to the representations and warranties in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.4, Section 3.5, Section 3.6 and clause (i) of Section 3.10), Qumu hereby represents and warrants to Synacor and Merger Sub as follows:

Qumu is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character or location of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Qumu Material Adverse Effect.

3.2    Authority; Approvals and Enforceability.

There are no registration rights or other agreements, arrangements or understandings to which Qumu or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or by which it or they are bound, obligating Qumu or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any shares of Qumu Common Stock or shares of capital stock of any such Subsidiary. Qumu does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or are convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the Qumu Shareholders on any matter.

All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Subsidiaries of

Qumu are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and all such shares (other than directors’ qualifying shares in the case of foreign Subsidiaries) are owned by Qumu or a Subsidiary of Qumu free and clear of any and all Liens. There are no accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to any outstanding shares of capital stock of Qumu or any of its Subsidiaries.

Each Subsidiary of Qumu is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction (to the extent such concepts exist in such jurisdictions) where the character or location of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Qumu Material Adverse Effect.

In addition, the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of either party hereto for inclusion in any filing pursuant to Rule 165 and Rule 425 under the Securities Act or Rule 14a-12 under the Exchange Act (each, a “Regulation M-A Filing”) shall not, at the time any such Regulation M-A Filing is filed with the SEC, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Effective Time, Qumu and Synacor shall notify each other as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than two (2) business days, upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance which should be described in an amendment of, or supplement to, the Registration Statement, Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any Regulation M-A Filing so that any such document would not include any misstatement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and as promptly as practicable thereafter, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements or the SEC, disseminated to the Qumu Shareholders and/or the Synacor Shareholders. Qumu and Synacor shall each notify the other as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than one business day, of (i) the receipt by such party of any written or oral comments of the SEC or its staff on, or of any written or oral request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to, the Registration Statement, the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any Regulation M-A Filing, and shall promptly supply the other with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its representatives and the SEC or its staff with respect to any of the foregoing filings or, to the extent not written, provide a written summary of any oral communications, (ii) the issuance of any stop order, or (iii) the suspension of qualification for offering or sale in any jurisdiction of the Synacor Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger.

(e)    Qumu and Synacor shall make any necessary filings with respect to the Merger under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the rules of Nasdaq. In addition, Synacor shall use reasonable best efforts to take all actions required under any applicable federal or state securities Legal Requirements in connection with the issuance of shares of Synacor Common Stock in the Merger.

7.4    Shareholder Meetings and Board Recommendations.

(a)    Each of Qumu and Synacor, acting through its board of directors (or an authorized committee thereof), shall take all actions in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, applicable rules of Nasdaq, the Qumu Articles of Incorporation and the Qumu Bylaws in the case of Qumu, and the Synacor Certificate of Incorporation and the Synacor Bylaws in the case of Synacor, to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold as promptly as practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, a meeting of its shareholders (including any postponement or adjournment thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the “Qumu Shareholder Meeting” in the case of Qumu, and the “Synacor Shareholder Meeting” in the case of Synacor, and together, the “Merger Shareholder Meetings”) for the purpose of considering and voting upon the approval of the Qumu Voting Proposal in the case of Qumu and the Synacor Voting Proposal in the case of Synacor. Each of Qumu and Synacor may postpone or adjourn the Qumu Shareholder Meeting or Synacor Shareholder meeting, respectively, (i) with the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (ii) if a quorum has not been established; (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Qumu Board or the Synacor Board, as applicable, has determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel is necessary under applicable Legal Requirements and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by Qumu or Synacor shareholders, as applicable, prior to the Qumu Shareholder Meeting or Synacor Shareholder Meeting; (iv) to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies, if and to the extent the Requisite Qumu Shareholder Approval or Requisite Synacor Shareholder Approval, as applicable, would not otherwise be obtained; or (v) if required by Legal Requirements; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), each of the Qumu Shareholder Meeting and the Synacor Shareholder Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned (x) for more than ten (10) business days in the aggregate from its originally scheduled date without the prior written consent of the other party or (y) beyond the Termination Date; provided, further, that in the event that either party postpones or adjourns the Qumu Shareholder Meeting or the Synacor Shareholder Meeting, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the other party may postpone or adjourn its meeting for an equal number of days. Each of Qumu and Synacor shall solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the Qumu Voting Proposal in the case of Qumu and the Synacor Voting Proposal in the case of Synacor, and unless the board of directors of either party hereto shall effect a Qumu Board Recommendation Change in the case of Qumu or a Synacor Board Recommendation Change in the case of Synacor, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Section 7.4(f), use its reasonable best efforts to secure the Requisite Qumu Shareholder Approval in the case of Qumu and the Requisite Synacor Shareholder Approval in the case of Synacor. Each of Qumu and Synacor shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with its Merger Shareholder Meeting are solicited in compliance with the rules of Nasdaq, the MBCA, the Qumu Articles of Incorporation and the Qumu Bylaws in the case of Qumu, and the DGCL, the Synacor Certificate of Incorporation and the Synacor Bylaws in the case of Synacor, and all other applicable Legal Requirements.

(b)    Each of Qumu and Synacor shall use its reasonable best efforts to call, give notice of, convene and hold their respective Merger Shareholder Meetings on the same day and at

the same time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each of Qumu or Synacor, after consultation with the other party hereto, may (but shall not be required to) adjourn or postpone its respective Merger Shareholder Meeting if (and solely to the extent and for the minimum duration reasonably necessary to ensure that) (i) any required supplement or amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is provided to its respective shareholders within a reasonable amount of time in advance of its respective Merger Shareholder Meeting, (ii) as of the time for which the applicable Merger Shareholder Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus), there are insufficient shares of Qumu Common Stock in the case of Qumu, or Synacor Common Stock in the case of Synacor, represented (either in person or by proxy) at the respective Merger Shareholder Meeting to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the respective Merger Shareholder Meeting, or (iii) the other party hereto has adjourned or postponed its Merger Shareholder Meeting for any of the foregoing reasons.

(c)    Following the Merger Shareholder Meetings and at or prior to the Closing, each of Qumu and Synacor shall deliver to the corporate secretary of the other party hereto a certificate setting forth the voting results from the respective Merger Shareholder Meeting.

(d)    Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated, Qumu shall submit the Qumu Voting Proposal to the Qumu Shareholders at the Qumu Shareholders Meeting for the purpose of acting upon such proposal, and Synacor shall submit the Synacor Voting Proposal to the Synacor Shareholders at the Synacor Shareholders Meeting for the purpose of acting upon such proposal, in each case whether or not (i) the Qumu Board or the Synacor Board, as the case may be, at any time subsequent to the date of this Agreement and prior to the Merger Shareholder Meetings shall effect a Qumu Board Recommendation Change in the case of Qumu or a Synacor Board Recommendation Change in the case of Synacor, or (ii) any actual, potential or purported Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal has been commenced, disclosed, announced or submitted to the Qumu Board in the case of Qumu or the Synacor Board in the case of Synacor.

(e)    Subject to the terms of Section 7.4(f), (i) the Qumu Board shall recommend that the Qumu Shareholders approve this Agreement at the Qumu Shareholder Meeting in accordance with the applicable provisions of the MBCA (the “Qumu Board Recommendation”), and (ii) the Synacor Board shall recommend that the Synacor Shareholders approve the issuance of shares of Synacor Common Stock in the Merger at the Synacor Shareholder Meeting in accordance with the applicable rules of Nasdaq (the “Synacor Board Recommendation”).

(f)    Subject to the terms of this Section 7.4(f), (x) neither the Qumu Board (nor any committee thereof) shall withhold, withdraw, amend, modify, qualify or condition, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, modify, qualify or condition, the Qumu Board Recommendation (a “Qumu Board Recommendation Change”), and (y) neither the Synacor Board (nor any committee thereof) shall withhold, withdraw, amend, modify, qualify or condition, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, modify, qualify or condition, the Synacor Board Recommendation (a “Synacor Board Recommendation Change”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Requisite Qumu Shareholder Approval in the case of Qumu, or receipt of the Requisite Synacor Shareholder Approval in the case

of Synacor, the Qumu Board may effect a Qumu Board Recommendation Change and the Synacor Board may effect a Synacor Board Recommendation Change, and, in either case if and only if either:

(i)    (A) the party proposing to take such action has received an Acquisition Proposal relating to such party that the board of directors has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal, (B) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from or arise out of a breach of any provisions of Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 (as modified by Section 6.3), and the Person from whom such party received such Acquisition Proposal has not made any other Acquisition Proposals (either alone or together with one or more other Persons) that resulted from or arose out of a breach of any provisions of Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 (as modified by Section 6.3), (C) the party proposing to take such action has not breached any of the provisions of Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 (as modified by Section 6.3) in respect of such Acquisition Proposal (and any other Acquisition Proposals made by the same Person making such Acquisition Proposal, whether alone or together with one or more other Persons), (D) prior to effecting such Qumu Board Recommendation Change or a Synacor Board Recommendation Change, as the case may be, the party proposing to take such action shall have given the other party hereto at least five (5) business days’ notice thereof (which notice shall not, by itself, constitute a Qumu Board Recommendation Change or a Synacor Board Recommendation Change) and, upon written request by such other party during such five (5) business day period, the opportunity to meet and discuss in good faith during the remainder of such five (5) business day period potential amendments or other modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be effected (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms, or any other material amendment to the terms, of such Acquisition Proposal shall require a new written notice and an additional three (3) business day period for discussion), (E) the other party hereto shall not have made, within the foregoing notice periods after receipt of such party’s written notice of its intention to effect a Qumu Board Recommendation Change or a Synacor Board Recommendation Change, as the case may be, a counteroffer or proposal that the board of directors of the party proposing to take such action determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor of nationally recognized standing and its outside legal counsel) is at least as favorable to its shareholders as such Superior Proposal, and (F) after such discussions, the board of directors of the party proposing to take such action determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and after considering in good faith any counteroffer or proposal made by the other party hereto pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (E)) that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under, with respect to Qumu, Minnesota Law and, with respect to Synacor, Delaware Law; or

(ii)    in response to an Intervening Event, if: (A) the Intervening Event does not involve the receipt of any offer, proposal or inquiry from any third party relating to a transaction of the nature described in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” (which, for the purposes of this clause (A), shall be read without reference to the percentage thresholds set forth in the definition thereof); and (B) (1) prior to effecting the Qumu Board Recommendation Change or the Synacor Board Recommendation Change, as the case may be, the party proposing to take such action shall have given the other party hereto at least five (5) business days’ notice thereof (which notice shall not, by itself, constitute a Qumu Board Recommendation Change or a Synacor

Board Recommendation Change) and, upon written request by such other party during such five (5) business day period, the opportunity to meet and discuss in good faith during the remainder of such five (5) business day period the purported basis for the proposed Qumu Board Recommendation Change or Synacor Board Recommendation Change, as the case may be, the other party’s reaction thereto and potential amendments and modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in response thereto so that the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be effected (it being understood and agreed that any material change to the facts and circumstances of such Intervening Event shall require a new written notice and an additional three (3) business day period for discussion), and (2) after such discussions, the board of directors of the party proposing to take such action determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect such Qumu Board Recommendation Change or Synacor Board Recommendation Change, as the case may be, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under, with respect to Qumu, Minnesota Law and, with respect to Synacor, Delaware Law.

Each of Qumu and Synacor acknowledge and hereby agree that any Qumu Board Recommendation Change or Synacor Board Recommendation Change effected (or proposed to be effected) in response to or in connection with an Acquisition Proposal may be made solely and exclusively pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (i) only, and may not be made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (ii), and any Qumu Board Recommendation Change or Synacor Board Recommendation Change, as the case may be, may only be made pursuant to this Section 7.4(f) and no other provisions of this Agreement.

(g)    Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Qumu Board or the Synacor Board from taking and disclosing to the Qumu Shareholders or the Synacor Shareholders, respectively, a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that neither Qumu (with respect to statements made by the Qumu Board) nor Synacor (with respect to statements made by the Synacor Board) pursuant to Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act shall make disclosures that would amount to a Qumu Board Recommendation Change or a Synacor Board Recommendation Change, other than pursuant to Section 7.4(f).

(h)    Nothing set forth in this Section 7.4 shall (i) permit either party hereto to terminate this Agreement, (ii) affect any other obligation of the parties hereto under this Agreement, (iii) limit the obligation of either party hereto to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold its respective Merger Shareholder Meeting, (iv) relieve either party hereto of its obligation to submit to a vote of its shareholders the Qumu Voting Proposal or the Synacor Voting Proposal, as applicable, at its respective Merger Shareholder Meeting, or (v) permit either party hereto to submit for a vote of its respective shareholders at or prior to its respective Merger Shareholder Meeting any Acquisition Proposal other than the Qumu Voting Proposal and the Synacor Voting Proposal, as applicable.

(d)    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 IX and the Effective Time, each of Synacor and Qumu shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) business days) notify the other party hereto of (i) any notice or other communication received by it from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any notice or other communication received by any of its respective officers from any Person, subsequent to the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) any notice or other communication received by such party or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any Person, subsequent to the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e)    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 IX and the Effective Time, each of Synacor and Qumu shall promptly advise the other party hereto, orally and in writing, of any Legal Proceeding commenced or threatened after the date hereof against such party or any of its Representatives by any of its current or former shareholders (on their own behalf or on behalf of the company) or by any Governmental Authority relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement

(“Transaction Litigation”), and shall keep the other party hereto promptly informed regarding any material developments regarding any Transaction Litigation. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 7.5(e), each party shall control the defense or settlement of any Transaction Litigation against such party or any of its Representatives. Each of Synacor and Qumu shall give the other party hereto the opportunity to consult with such party regarding the defense or settlement of any such Transaction Litigation and shall consider the other party’s views with respect to such Transaction Litigation and shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives to, settle, compromise or come to a settlement arrangement regarding any such Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of the other party hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(f)    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 IX and the Effective Time, each of Synacor and Qumu shall cause one or more of its designated representatives to confer on a regular and frequent basis with representatives of the other party hereto and report the general status of the ongoing operations of such party and its Subsidiaries.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Synacor nor Qumu nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to, or to disclose information, where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of such party or its Subsidiaries or contravene any Legal Requirement, fiduciary duty or Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. Each of Qumu and Synacor shall use their reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure under the circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no information obtained pursuant to the access granted or notification provided pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall be deemed to (i) amend or otherwise modify in any respect any representation or warranty of the party providing such access or notice, (ii) impair or otherwise prejudice in any manner rights of the party receiving such access or notice to rely upon the conditions to the obligations of such party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) impair or otherwise limit the remedies available to the party receiving such access or notice.

(h)    All information acquired pursuant to the access granted or notice provided pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall be subject to the provisions of that certain mutual non-disclosure letter agreement, dated April 30, 2019, between Synacor and Qumu (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall continue in full force and effect from and after the execution and delivery of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

7.6    Public Announcements. Each of Synacor and Qumu shall consult with the other party hereto before issuing any press release or making any public announcement or statement with

respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that (i) a party may, without the prior consent of the other party hereto, issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement as may be required by Legal Requirement or the rules and regulations of Nasdaq if it first notifies and consults with the other party hereto prior to issuing any such press release or making any such public announcement or statement; (ii) each party may, without consultation or consent of the other party, make any public statement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, make internal announcements to employees and make disclosures in filings by such party with the SEC, so long as such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by such party in compliance with this Section 7.6; and (iii) no such prior notice or consultation shall be required in connection with any action taken by a party pursuant to Section 7.4(f) (except as expressly set forth therein).

7.7    Employee Plans.

(a)    Continuing Employees. Until December 31, 2020, Synacor will provide, or will cause to be provided, to each employee of Qumu or its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any employee on leave who has a right to reemployment) who continues to be employed by Synacor or the Surviving Corporation as of immediately after the Effective Time (individually, a “Continuing Employee” and collectively, “Continuing Employees”) with (i) a base salary or wage rate that is no less favorable than the base salary or wage rate provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ii) target cash bonus opportunity that is no less favorable in the aggregate than the target cash bonus opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding for purposes of this paragraph (a) and for the avoidance of doubt, equity and equity-based incentives, sales commissions and, subject to Section 7.7(d), severance benefits) and (iii) with respect to any Qumu Terminating Plan, until December 31, 2020, with a substitute benefit if and as then provided to similarly situated employees of Synacor and their dependents (after giving effect to the provisions of Section 7.7(d)).

(b)     Qumu Group Plans; 401(k) Plan. Effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Qumu and its ERISA Affiliates, as applicable, shall in accordance with their respective terms and applicable Legal Requirements, terminate or terminate and discontinue its participation in and obligations under any and all plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement and any and all plans that are health and welfare plans (unless Synacor provides written notice no later than five (5) days, or if earlier, the date required under the terms of any document governing the administration of the applicable Qumu Employee Plan, prior to the Closing Date to Qumu that any of such plans shall not be terminated, whereupon Synacor may elect by written notice to delay such termination until such time as Synacor specifies therein); provided, that the effectiveness of any such terminations may be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Qumu Terminating Plans”). Unless Synacor provides such written notice to Qumu, Qumu shall provide Synacor, no later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing

Date, with evidence that such Qumu Terminating Plan(s) have been terminated (effective as of the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Qumu Board. Qumu also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Qumu Terminating Plan(s) or other Qumu Employee Plan on the Closing Date as may be required by their respective terms or applicable Legal Requirements or as Synacor may reasonably require.

(c)    Pre-Existing Conditions; Service Credit. From and after the Effective Time, and to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Synacor shall, or shall cause (or, with respect to employees outside of the United States, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) the Surviving Corporation to, recognize the prior service with Qumu or its Subsidiaries of each Continuing Employee in connection with all employee benefit plans, programs or policies (including vacation and severance, but excluding the sabbatical program) of Synacor or its Affiliates in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate following the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility and vesting and determination of level of benefits (but not for purposes of benefit accruals or benefit amounts under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that such recognition would result in duplication of benefits). From and after the Effective Time, Synacor shall, or shall cause (or, with respect to employees outside of the United States or any insured benefit carrier, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) the Surviving Corporation to, (i) to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any group health plans of Synacor or its Affiliates to be waived with respect to Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and the insured benefits carrier after Synacor’s commercially reasonable efforts, provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any eligible expenses incurred that were credited to deductible and maximum out-of-pocket co-insurance requirements under any Synacor or Surviving Corporation Employee Plan that provides medical, dental or vision benefits in the plan year in effect as of the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any corresponding medical, dental or vision plans of Synacor or the Surviving Corporation. Synacor or the Surviving Corporation will, as such time as Synacor reasonably determines following the Effective Time (but no later than the date the assets of the Qumu Qualified Plan are distributed in liquidation thereof) make or cause to be made an “eligible rollover distribution” (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from the Qumu Qualified Plan and will cause the Synacor Qualified Plan or that of the Surviving Corporation to accept a “direct rollover” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of such distribution, including a participant’s promissory note evidencing any plan loan distributed from the Qumu Qualified Plan. Prior to the distribution of a participant’s account in the Qumu Qualified Plan, Synacor shall permit employees to continue to repay any participant loan in the Qumu Qualified Plan to avoid a “deemed distribution” of any such participant loan.

(d)    Change in Control. Each of Synacor and Qumu hereby acknowledge that the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be deemed to constitute a “change in control” or “change of control” (or other similar phrase) for purposes of each Synacor Employee Plan and Qumu Employee Plan, respectively, as listed on Schedule 7.7(d). From and after the Closing, Synacor shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, be bound by, honor and comply with the terms of each employment, severance and change in control plan,

policy and agreement listed in Schedule 7.7(d), except as may otherwise be modified by mutual agreement with the counterparty prior to the Effective Time.

(e)    Qumu Stock Plan. Provided there are no Assumed Options, Assumed Restricted Stock Awards or Assumed Stock Units at the Effective Time per operation of Section 1.4(d), effective as of the Effective Time, Qumu shall terminate the Qumu Stock Plan in accordance with its terms.

(f)    No Third Party Rights. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, and the parties hereby expressly disclaim the creation or establishment of any third party beneficiary rights (whether express or implied) under or by right of the terms of this Section 7.7. Nothing herein shall be deemed to amend any Employee Benefit Plan to reflect the terms of this Section 7.7.

7.8    Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)    For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall, and Synacor shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of Qumu and its Subsidiaries under any and all indemnification agreements in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time between Qumu or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of Qumu or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”). In addition, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall, and Synacor shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, cause their respective articles of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation provisions contained in the articles of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of Qumu and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and during such six (6) year period, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any respect adverse to the Indemnified Parties except as and to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements.

(b)    Except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Synacor shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to, each Indemnified Party in respect of acts or omissions in their capacity as a director or officer of Qumu or its Subsidiaries or as an officer, director, employee, fiduciary or agent of another enterprise if the Indemnified Party was serving in such capacity at the request of Qumu or any of its Subsidiaries, in any case occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements or provided under the articles of incorporation, bylaws, any indemnification agreements and any other governing documents of Qumu and its Subsidiaries in effect on the date hereof.

(c)    For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Synacor shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect the

existing policy of Qumu’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (the “D&O Policy”) covering claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent that such acts or omissions are covered by the D&O Policy) and covering each Indemnified Party who is covered as of the Effective Time by the D&O Policy on terms with respect to coverage and amounts that are no less favorable than those terms in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall Synacor or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the current annual premium paid by Qumu (which annual premium is set forth on Section 7.8(c) of the Qumu Disclosure Letter) for such insurance (such three hundred percent (300%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”), provided that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of its obligations under this Section 7.8(c), Synacor or Qumu may purchase a six (6)-year “tail” prepaid policy on the D&O Policy on terms and conditions no less advantageous than the D&O Policy, and in the event that Synacor shall purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Synacor shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder in lieu of all other obligations of Synacor and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.8(c) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(d)    The obligations under this Section 7.8 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.8(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Party or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.8(c) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Parties and any other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.8(c) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.8, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Parties (and other Persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.8(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 7.8 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such Persons may have under the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by Qumu or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Legal Requirement (whether at law or in equity). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Indemnified Party is or has been a party to or is or has been otherwise involved (including as a witness) in any Legal Proceeding involving acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time (whether such Legal Proceeding arises before, at or after the Effective Time) and makes a claim under this Section 7.8 on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 7.8 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such Legal Proceeding.

(e)    In the event that Synacor, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries (or any of their respective successors or assigns) shall consolidate or merge with any

other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger, or transfers at least fifty percent (50%) of its properties and assets to any other person, then in each case proper provision shall be made so that the continuing or surviving corporation or entity (or its successors or assigns, if applicable), or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.8 (including by operation of law).

7.9    Listing of Synacor Shares. Synacor shall use its reasonable best efforts to have authorized for listing on Nasdaq prior to the Effective Time, upon official notice of issuance, the shares of Synacor Common Stock issuable in the Merger pursuant to this Agreement, the shares of Synacor Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all Assumed Options (if any) and the shares of Synacor Common Stock issuable in respect of all Assumed Stock Units (if any).

7.10    Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Qumu and the Qumu Board shall promptly grant such approvals and take such lawful actions as are necessary so that the Merger and/or such other transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement, and otherwise take such lawful actions to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, on the Merger and such other transactions.

7.11    Section 16 Matters. The Synacor Board, or an authorized committee thereof consisting of non-employee directors (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(b) under the Exchange Act), shall adopt a resolution in advance of the Effective Time providing that the receipt by Qumu Insiders of Synacor Common Stock in exchange for shares of Qumu Common Stock, and of options to purchase Synacor Common Stock upon assumption and conversion of the Qumu Stock Awards, in each case pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby and to the extent such securities are listed in the Section 16 Information, is intended to be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. In addition, the Qumu Board, or a committee thereof consisting of non-employee directors (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(b) under the Exchange Act), shall adopt a resolution in advance of the Effective Time providing that the disposition by Qumu Insiders of Qumu Common Stock in exchange for shares of Synacor Common Stock, and the disposition of their Qumu Stock Awards which will be deemed to occur upon the assumption of those options and their resulting conversion into options to purchase Synacor Common Stock, in each case pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby and to the extent such securities are listed in the Section 16 Information, are also intended to be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

7.12    Tax Matters.

(a)    Prior to or following the Effective Time, none of Synacor, Merger Sub or Qumu shall, and they shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, take (or fail to take) any action which action (or failure to act) would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(b)    Each of Synacor and Qumu shall use its reasonable best efforts and will cooperate with one another to obtain the Tax opinions described in Section 2.2(a)(vii) (collectively,

the “Tax Opinions”). In connection therewith, (a) officers of Synacor and Merger Sub shall execute and deliver to Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP, counsel to Synacor (or other counsel selected by Synacor and reasonably satisfactory to Qumu), and Ballard Spahr LLP, counsel to Qumu (or other counsel selected by Qumu and reasonably satisfactory to Synacor), certificates containing such customary facts, representations, assumptions, covenants and exclusions as shall be reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable each such counsel to render the opinion described in Section 2.2(a)(vii), as applicable, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Synacor Tax Certificate”), (b) officers of Qumu shall execute and deliver to each such counsel a certificate containing such customary facts, representations, assumptions, covenants and exclusions as shall be reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable each such counsel to render the opinion described in Section 2.2(a)(vii), as applicable, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Qumu Tax Certificate”), in each case of (a) and (b), dated as of the Closing Date (and, such other dates as reasonably requested by such counsel in connection with the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus), and (c) Synacor and Qumu shall provide such other information as reasonably requested by each such counsel for purposes of rendering the opinion described in Section 2.2(a)(vii), as applicable. Each of Synacor and Qumu shall use its reasonable best efforts not to, and not permit any Affiliate or any Subsidiary to, take or cause to be taken any action that would cause to be untrue (or fail to take or cause not to be taken any action which inaction would cause to be untrue) any of the representations and covenants made to counsel in the Synacor Tax Certificate and/or Qumu Tax Certificate, as applicable, as described in this Section 7.12(b).

(c)    This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.368-2(g). The parties will take the position for all Tax purposes that the Merger qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, unless a contrary position is required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

7.13    Delisting. Synacor and Qumu shall cooperate in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Qumu Common Stock from Nasdaq and to terminate Qumu’s registration under the Exchange Act, effective as of the Effective Time.

Effective Time (each, a “Qumu Designee”).

For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, Synacor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to nominate, recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of the Qumu Designees, subject to the Qumu Designees complying with all independence standards and any similar requirements for directors of Synacor and for service on any committee of the Synacor Board to which they are appointed, as are established by Synacor and its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, Nasdaq, and applicable provisions of the Exchange Act.
