SECTION 1.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger. The Company, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”.

SECTION 1.02 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place electronically by exchange of the Closing deliverables, on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions which by their terms are required to be satisfied or waived at the Closing but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) have been satisfied or, if permissible, waived by the party entitled to the benefit of the same (in its sole discretion), or at such other place, time and date or manner as Parent and the Company may agree in writing; provided that if the Marketing Period has not ended at the time when the Closing would otherwise be required to occur pursuant to this Section 1.02, the Closing will occur on the earlier of (a) a Business Day before or during the Marketing Period specified by Parent on two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Company and (b) the Business Day following the expiration of the Marketing Period (subject, in each case, to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions which by their terms are required to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions)), or at such other date and time as Parent and the Company shall mutually agree upon in writing; provided, further, that in no event shall the Closing occur less than three (3) Business Days after the conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied. The “Closing Date” shall be the date upon which the Closing occurs.

The bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except references to the name of Merger Sub shall instead be references to the name of the Surviving Corporation) and, as so amended, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES; EQUITY-BASED AWARDS

SECTION 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or any holder of any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancelation of Certain Shares. All shares of Company Common Stock that are (i) held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Sub, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor and (ii) owned by any direct or wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (other than Merger Sub) or the Company shall be converted into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation such that the ownership percentage of any such Subsidiary in the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time shall equal the ownership percentage of such Subsidiary in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, and any such shares of Company Common Stock shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (collectively, the shares described in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Owned Company Shares”).

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than (i) Appraisal Shares to be treated in accordance with Section 2.07 and (ii) Owned Company Shares) shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive $37.50 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) or non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock held in book entry form (each, a “Book Entry Share”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate or Book Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.02(b).

SECTION 2.02 Exchange of Certificates and Book Entry Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article II and, in connection therewith, prior to the Closing Date shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent an amount in cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). Pending its disbursement in accordance with this Section 2.02, the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent in short-term direct obligations of the United States of America or short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest. Any interest and other income from such investments shall become part of the Exchange Fund held by the Paying Agent for purposes of paying the Merger Consideration, and any amounts in excess of the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Section 2.02(e). Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to make all payments of Merger Consideration in accordance herewith. No investment losses resulting from investment of the funds deposited with the Paying Agent shall diminish the rights of any holder of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration as provided herein.

(b) Payment Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (other than (i) Appraisal Shares to be treated in accordance with Section 2.07 and (ii) Owned Company Shares) (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book Entry Shares, as applicable, shall pass, in the case of Certificates, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and which shall be in such form and shall have such other customary provisions (including customary provisions regarding delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to Book Entry Shares) as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree in writing prior to the Closing Date) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration as

provided in Section 2.01(c). Upon (1) surrender of a Certificate for cancelation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with such letter’s instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent) or (2) in the case of Book Entry Shares, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), the holder of such Certificate or Book Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book Entry Share, and the Certificate or Book Entry Share so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled; provided, with respect to any holder of record of Company Common Stock who provides such documentation and information prior to the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall pay the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock for which such documentation and information has been provided as soon as reasonably practicable on or after the Closing Date. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (x) the Certificate or Book Entry Share so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, (y) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book Entry Share surrendered and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable, and (z) the respective holder and the Person requesting such payment represent and agree that such Person (or its tax owner) is the beneficial owner of such Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Certificate and Book Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of shares of Company Common Stock upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates or Book Entry Shares, and at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of, the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates that represented ownership of shares of Company Common Stock and Book Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(e), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates and Book Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated by this Article II.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. At any time following the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) which has not been disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent for, and Parent shall remain liable for, payment of their claims for the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the parties hereto, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable state, federal or other abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

SECTION 2.03 Treatment of Equity-Based Awards. Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Company Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions and take such other actions as may be required to provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof:

(i) each Company RSU, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled, extinguished and of no further force or effect and shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, as the sole consideration for each share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU, an amount in cash, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding under applicable Law, from Parent or the Surviving Corporation equal to the Merger Consideration (the “Company RSU Consideration”);

(ii) each Company PSU, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled, extinguished and of no further force or effect and shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, as the sole consideration for each share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company PSU, an amount in cash, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding under applicable Law, from Parent or the Surviving Corporation equal to the Merger Consideration, based on attainment of the applicable performance metrics at the greater of target or actual level of performance as of the Closing Date, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof in reasonable consultation with Parent prior to the Effective Time (the “Company PSU Consideration”);

(iii) (A) each vested Company LTIP Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the incremental vesting resulting from the Closing, which shall be deemed to constitute a “Change of Control” for purposes of such Company LTIP Awards) shall be cancelled, extinguished and of no further force or effect and shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, as the sole consideration for each such Company LTIP Award, an amount in cash, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding under applicable Law, from Parent or the Surviving Corporation equal to (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by the Company LTIP Award deemed earned as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the applicable governing documents (after giving effect to the incremental vesting resulting from the Closing as described above), as determined by the board of directors of the Company or a committee thereof after reasonable consultation with Parent prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (2) the Merger Consideration (the “Company LTIP Award Consideration”); and (B) any unvested portion of an Company LTIP Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time after giving effect to the incremental vesting resulting from the Closing as described above shall be cancelled for no consideration in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan;

(iv) each Company SAR that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled, extinguished and of no further force or effect and shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, as the sole consideration for each such Company SAR, an amount in cash, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding under applicable Law, from Parent or the Surviving Corporation equal to the total value of the payout that would have been earned in accordance with the terms of the applicable governing documents (including any previously unpaid dividends or dividend equivalents thereon, in accordance with such governing documents) (collectively, the “Company SAR Consideration”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Company SAR with an exercise price per share equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled for no consideration in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Company Equity Award that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that the Company determines prior to the Effective Time is not eligible to be terminated in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B), such payment will be made at the earliest time permitted under the applicable Company Stock Plan that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

SECTION 2.04 Payments with Respect to Equity-Based Awards. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in any event, with respect to (i) Company Equity Awards other than Company LTIP Awards, no later than the second (2nd) payroll date after the Effective Time and (ii) Company LTIP Awards no later than required under the terms of the applicable governing documents, including the applicable Company Stock Plan), subject to Section 2.08, the Surviving Corporation shall pay through its or its Affiliate’s payroll systems the Company RSU Consideration, Company PSU Consideration, Company LTIP Award Consideration and Company SAR Consideration due pursuant to Section 2.03.

SECTION 2.05 Company Actions. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Company Stock Plans shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to cause the Company Stock Plans to terminate at or prior to the Effective Time, if so requested by Parent no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to deliver shares or other capital stock of the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Equity Awards.

SECTION 2.06 Adjustments. If between the date hereof and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the occurrence or record date of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change.

SECTION 2.07 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c), but instead shall be canceled and shall represent the right to receive only those rights provided under Section 262 of the DGCL less any withholding or deduction required under any applicable Tax Law; provided, however, that if any such Person shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such Person to receive those rights under Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and shall represent only the right to right to receive, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c), without interest thereon. To the extent any amounts are withheld under this Section 2.07 and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(b) The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock (as well as attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal), and Parent shall have the right to participate in, and after the Effective Time, direct all negotiations and Actions with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.08 Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, their respective Affiliates and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or under any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent amounts are so withheld or deducted and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Parent and Merger Sub jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Company that, except as set forth in the confidential disclosure letter delivered by Parent to the Company prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Parent Disclosure Letter”) (it being understood that any information, item or matter set forth on one section or subsection of the Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosure with respect to, and shall be deemed to apply to and qualify, the section or subsection of this Article IV to which it corresponds in number and each other section or subsection of this Article IV to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on its face that such information, item or matter is relevant to such other section or subsection):

Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite corporate power and corporate authority necessary to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing (where such concept is recognized under applicable Law) in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.02 Authority; Non-contravention.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all necessary corporate power and corporate authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the Transactions. The Board of Directors of each of Parent and Merger Sub has duly authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Transactions, and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub has declared this Agreement advisable.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Company, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions.

(b) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub, the performance or compliance by Parent or Merger Sub with any of the terms or provisions hereof or the consummation by Parent or Merger Sub of the Transactions will (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other comparable charter or Organizational Documents of Parent or Merger Sub or (ii) assuming that the authorizations, consents and approvals referred to in Section 4.03 are obtained prior to the Effective Time, as applicable, and the filings referred to in Section 4.03 are made and any waiting periods with respect to such filings have terminated or expired prior to the Effective Time, as applicable, (x) violate any Law or Judgment applicable to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (y) violate or constitute a default (or constitute an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would violate or constitute a default) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party or accelerate Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or any of their respective Subsidiaries’, if applicable, obligations under any such Contract, except, in the case of clause (ii), as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Except for (a) compliance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, (b) compliance with the rules and regulations of the NYSE and NASDAQ, (c) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State pursuant to the DGCL and the filing of appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other jurisdictions in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is qualified to do business, (d) filings and expiration or termination of the waiting period required under the HSR Act, and (e) compliance with any applicable state securities or blue sky laws, no consent or approval of, or filing, license, permit or authorization, declaration or registration with, any Governmental Authority is necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub, the performance by Parent and Merger Sub of their obligations hereunder and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Transactions, other than such other consents, approvals, filings, licenses, permits or authorizations, declarations or registrations that, if not obtained, made or given, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.04 Ownership and Operations of Merger Sub. Parent indirectly owns beneficially and of record all of the outstanding capital stock of Merger Sub, free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens and such Liens as may be applicable under the Securities Act or other applicable securities Laws. Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the Transactions, has no liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those incident to its formation and pursuant to the Transactions and, prior to the Effective Time, will not have engaged in any other business activities other than those relating to the Transactions.

SECTION 4.05 Sufficiency of Funds.

(a) Parent has delivered to the Company a true, correct and complete copy of the fully executed debt commitment letter (including all exhibits, schedules and annexes thereto and the executed fee letter and/or engagement letter associated therewith and referenced therein (which fee letter and engagement letter, in each case, may be redacted with respect to any interest rates, fee amounts, pricing caps and other similar economic terms (including flex terms) set forth therein (none of which would adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability, or reduce the aggregate principal amount thereof))), dated as of the date hereof, between Parent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the Debt Financing Sources have committed, subject only to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide debt financing, in the amounts set forth therein (the “Debt Financing”). The entry into definitive documentation for, and the consummation of, the Debt Financing does not, and will not, violate or cause a default under any material indebtedness of Parent and its subsidiaries, including (i) that certain Indenture, dated March 10, 2021, by and among Parent and Regions Bank, (ii) that certain Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2014, by and among Parent and U.S. Bank National Association, (iii) that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2021, by and among Parent, the borrowers named therein, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other parties thereto, and (iv) that certain Receivables Financing Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2020, by and among O&M Funding LLC, Xxxxx & Minor Medical, Inc., the lenders named therein and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(b) The Debt Commitment Letter is in full force and effect on the date of this Agreement and, as of the date of this Agreement, the respective commitments contained in the Debt Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, rescinded, terminated, amended or modified, and no withdrawal, rescission, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated (except in connection with any amendments or modifications to effectuate any “market flex” terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof or to add any additional agents or other financial institutions thereto as provided for therein). The Debt Commitment Letter constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms against the parties thereto (subject to Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions). Parent has fully paid (or caused to be fully paid) any and all commitment fees, costs and expenses or other fees, costs and expenses required to be paid on or prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with the Debt Financing. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. Except for the Debt Commitment Letter, there are no other agreements or side letters of any kind to which Parent or any of its Affiliates is a party related to the funding of the Debt Financing or that impose additional

conditions, modify, amend or expand the conditions to the funding of the Debt Financing in a manner that would impair the availability of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date, or reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing. Assuming satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Article VI, as of the date of this Agreement, to the knowledge of Parent, there are no facts or circumstances that would be expected to result in Parent being unable to satisfy, prior to Closing, any term or condition of Closing to be satisfied by it contained in the Debt Commitment Letter, or that would otherwise cause the Debt Financing to be unavailable on the Closing Date.

(c) As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred or circumstance exists which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would (i) constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent or, to the knowledge of Parent, any other party thereto under any term or condition of the Debt Commitment Letter or (ii) result in any portion of the Debt Financing necessary to pay the Required Amount being unavailable on the Closing Date. As of the date of this Agreement and assuming satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Article VI, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates has any reason to believe (both before and after giving effect to any “market flex” terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter) that any of the terms or conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter will not be satisfied on a timely basis on or before the Closing Date or that the amounts committed pursuant to the Debt Financing necessary to pay the Required Amount will not be available to Parent on the Closing Date if the terms or conditions to be satisfied by it contained in the Debt Commitment Letter are satisfied. The aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Debt Financing, together with cash held by Parent, will be sufficient for Parent to (A) pay any and all fees expressly required to be paid on the Closing Date by Parent in connection with the Debt Financing or the Transactions on the Closing Date, (B) (without duplication to clause (A)) satisfy all of the payment obligations of Parent expressly required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement and the Debt Financing on or prior to the Closing and (C) repay or refinance all Indebtedness required to be repaid or reduced at Closing (clauses (A) through (C), the “Required Amount”).

SECTION 4.06 Solvency . Assuming that the Transactions are consummated in accordance with the DGCL and the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article III and the estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business and strategic plan information, regarding the Company and its business and operations that the Company that Parent and Merger Sub have received and may continue to receive from the Company, immediately following the Effective Time and after giving effect to all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Financing, the payment of the aggregate consideration to which the stockholders and other equity holders of the Company are entitled under Article II, funding of any obligations of the Surviving Corporation or its subsidiaries which become due or payable by the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries in connection with, or as a result of, the Merger and payment of all related fees and expenses, the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not: (i) be insolvent (either because its financial condition is such that the sum of its debts, including contingent and other liabilities, is greater than the fair market value of its assets or because the fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature); (ii) have unreasonably small capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged; or (iii) have incurred debts, or be expected to incur debts, including contingent and other liabilities, beyond its ability to pay them as they become due.

SECTION 4.07 Brokers and Other Advisors. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission, or the reimbursement of expenses in connection therewith, in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, except for Persons, if any, whose fees and expenses will be paid by Parent.

SECTION 4.08 Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto) will, at the time such document (or any amendment or supplement thereto) is filed with the SEC or at the time such document (or any amendment or supplement thereto) is first published, sent or given to the stockholders of the Company, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

SECTION 4.09 Legal Proceedings. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, as of the date of this Agreement, there is no pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened Action against Parent or Merger Sub.

SECTION 4.10 Ownership of Company Common Stock. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is, or has been at any time during the last three (3) years preceding the date of this Agreement, an “interested stockholder” of the Company subject to the restrictions on “business combinations” (in each case, as such quoted terms are defined under Section 203 of the DGCL) set forth in Section 203(a) of the DGCL.

SECTION 4.11 Non-Reliance on Company Estimates, Projections, Forecasts, Forward-Looking Statements and Business Plans. In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company by Parent and Merger Sub, Parent and Merger Sub have received and may continue to receive from the Company certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business and strategic plan information, regarding the Company and its business and operations. Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business and strategic plans, with which Parent and Merger Sub are familiar, that Parent and Merger Sub are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as such business plans, so furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information or business plans), and that Parent and Merger Sub have not relied on such information and will have no claim against the Company, or any of its Representatives, with respect thereto or any rights hereunder with respect thereto, except pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, including on account of a breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements expressly set forth herein.

SECTION 4.12 No Other Company Representations or Warranties.

Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III and in any certificate, letter of transmittal or other document delivered in connection with this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any other Person, has made or is making any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective business or operations, including with respect to any information provided or made available to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives or any information developed by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives.

(c) From and after the date hereof, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) notify Parent in writing in the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives receives any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal and shall disclose to Parent the material terms and conditions of any such inquiry, proposal or offer and, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such inquiry, proposal or offer (and provide Parent with a copy of any such proposal or offer and copies of any written materials related thereto exchanged between the Company and any Person), and the Company shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably prompt basis (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of any such change or event) of the status, details and any material developments with respect to any such Takeover Proposal (including any changes to the terms thereof); provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to disclose the identity of any Person or group of Persons if expressly prohibited by a confidentiality agreement in existence prior to the date of this Agreement. All information provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(d) Neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall (i)(A) withhold, withdraw or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), the Company Board Recommendation (or fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement) (any action described in this clause (i)(A), an “Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change”); (B) following the public disclosure of a Takeover Proposal, fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation upon a written request therefor by Parent by ten Business Days following a written request by Parent; (C) recommend the approval or adoption of, or approve or adopt, or publicly propose to recommend, approve or adopt, any Takeover Proposal or (D) fail to publicly recommend against such tender or exchange offer or fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within ten Business Days of a tender or exchange offer relating to securities of the Company having been commenced (it being understood that the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof may make or cause the Company to make a customary “stop, look and listen” communication and may elect to take no position with respect to a Takeover Proposal until the close of business on the tenth Business Day after the commencement of such Takeover Proposal pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act without such action being considered an adverse modification) (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) execute or enter into (or cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into) any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, license agreement, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement relating to a Takeover Proposal, other than any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations but subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 5.02(e) or Section 5.02(f), as applicable, prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval, but not after, the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof may (I) make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (II) cause the Company to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Takeover Proposal that did not result from any material breach of this Section 5.02 and terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(d)(ii), in either case if the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel, that (x) in the case of clause (I), the Adverse Recommendation Change is made in response to an Intervening Event, and failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (y) in the case of (A) clause (I) where such Adverse Recommendation Change is made in response to a Takeover Proposal or (B) clause (II), such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(e) Prior to taking any of the actions expressly permitted by Section 5.02(d), in the event such action is proposed to be taken in connection with a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, take any action set forth in clause (d)(I) or (II), unless (1) the Company has first given Parent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action (which notice shall specify the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof and shall include copies of all documents related thereto), (2) the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such three (3) Business Day notice period following Parent’s receipt of the notice described in clause (1), to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to propose in writing an offer to effect revisions to the terms of this Agreement such that it would cause such Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, and (3) following the end of such three (3) Business Day notice period, the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof shall have considered in good faith such offer, and shall have determined in good faith after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed in any such revised offer by Parent were to be given effect (it being understood that the Company shall be required to comply again with its obligations under the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) in the event of any change to the financial or other material terms of such Superior Proposal, except that references to three (3) Business Days above shall be deemed to be references to one (1) Business Day); provided that any purported termination of this Agreement in connection with this sentence shall be void and of no force and effect unless the termination is in accordance with Section 7.01 and the Company pays (or causes to be paid) Parent the applicable Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.03 prior to or concurrently with such termination.

(f) Prior to taking any of the actions expressly permitted by Section 5.02(d), in the event an Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change is proposed to be taken in connection with an Intervening Event and is not proposed to be taken in connection with a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, make an Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change, unless (1) the Company has first given Parent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to effect an Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Intervening Event, which notice shall specify the nature of the Intervening Event in reasonable detail, (2) the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such three (3) Business Day notice period following Parent’s receipt of the notice described in clause (1), to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to propose in writing an offer to effect revisions to the terms of this Agreement that would eliminate the need of the Board of Directors of the Company to effect an Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Intervening Event and (3) following the end of such three (3) Business Day notice period, the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof shall have considered in good faith any amendments to this Agreement that Parent and Merger Sub have proposed in connection with such revised offer by Parent and shall have determined in good faith after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel that the failure to effect such Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change would continue to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g) Nothing in this Section 5.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders that is required by applicable Law or if the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that any such action that would otherwise constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change shall be made only in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 5.02.

(h) As used in this Agreement, “Takeover Proposal” shall mean any proposal or offer from any Person or group (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) relating to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, any direct or indirect (i) acquisition or exclusive license of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (based on the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof), including through the acquisition of equity interests in or other capital stock of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company owning such assets, (ii) issuance or acquisition of 20% or more of the outstanding Company Common Stock, (iii) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or group beneficially owning 20% or more of the outstanding Company Common Stock, or (iv) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company pursuant to which such Person or group (or the stockholders of any Person) would acquire, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (based on the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof), 20% or more of the outstanding capital stock of the Company or 20% or more of the aggregate voting power of the Company or of the surviving entity in a merger, consolidation, share exchange or other business combination involving the Company or the resulting direct or indirect parent of the Company or such surviving entity; provided, however, that this Agreement and the Transactions shall not be deemed a Takeover Proposal.

(i) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Takeover Proposal of the types described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition thereof, in each case, that the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof has determined in its good faith judgment is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms and would, if consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Transactions, in each case, after taking into account all such factors and matters deemed relevant by the Board of Directors of the Company, including legal, regulatory, financial, financing or other aspects of such proposal and of this Agreement; provided that, for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the references to “20%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “80%”.

(j) As used in this Agreement, “Intervening Event” shall mean an event, development or change in circumstances arising or occurring after the date of this Agreement that materially affects the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and which was not known to, or not reasonably foreseeable by, the Board of Directors of the Company as of or prior to the date of this Agreement (or if known to or reasonably foreseeable by the Board of Directors of the Company, the consequence of which were neither known to nor reasonably foreseeable by the Board of Directors of the Company as of or prior to the date of this Agreement); provided that in no event shall (i) the receipt, existence or terms of a Takeover Proposal, (ii) clearance of the Merger under the HSR Act, or (iii) the fact, in each case in and of itself, that the Company meets or exceeds any internal or published projections, forecasts or estimates of its revenue, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations for any period ending on or after the date of this Agreement, or changes in and of itself after the date of this Agreement in the market price or trading volume of the Company Common Stock or the credit rating of the Company (it being understood, however, that any underlying cause of any of the foregoing may constitute an Intervening Event), constitute an Intervening Event.

(k) The Company agrees that in the event any Subsidiary or Representative of the Company takes any action at the direction of the Company, which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.02, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.02.

SECTION 5.03 Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall cooperate with the other parties hereto and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts (unless, with respect to any action, another standard of performance is expressly provided for herein) to promptly (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with the other parties hereto in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable and to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner reasonably practicable, the Transactions, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents, (ii) obtain all approvals, consents, registrations, waivers, permits, authorizations, orders and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions and (iii) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions, other than, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iii), with respect to filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents, approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations relating to Antitrust Laws, which are addressed in Section 5.03(c) below.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall each (i) take all actions necessary to ensure that no Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to any of the Transactions and refrain from taking any actions that would cause the applicability of such Laws and (ii) if the restrictions of any Takeover Law become applicable to any of the Transactions, take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise lawfully minimize the effect of such Takeover Law on the Transactions.

(c) Each of the parties hereto agrees to (i) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof and other required antitrust approvals with respect to the Transactions as soon as practicable and advisable after the date of this Agreement and no later than by or before the Closing Date, and (ii) supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. Further, each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all consents under any such Antitrust Laws that may be required by any foreign or U.S. federal, state or local Governmental Authority pursuant thereto, in each case with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions prior to the Outside Date. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall, without the express written consent of Parent, take or agree to take any action relating to any objections asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions under any Antitrust Laws with respect to its business or operations.

(d) Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions, including any proceeding initiated by a private person, and (ii) subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, and to the extent reasonably practicable, consult with the other parties hereto with respect to information relating to the other parties hereto and their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third Person or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. To the extent reasonably practicable, all relevant telephone calls and meetings with a Governmental Authority regarding the Transactions shall include representatives of Parent and the Company, and each party hereto must inform the other of any material communications with a Governmental Authority relating to any Antitrust Laws. Except as otherwise restricted by this Section 5.03(d), Parent and the Company shall have the right to review in advance all written materials submitted or oral communications made to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions, in each case to the extent such materials or communications are related to any Antitrust Laws; provided that materials required to be provided pursuant to this Section 5.03(d) may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, (C) as necessary to comply with applicable Law, and (D) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns; provided, further that a party may reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to another party under this Section 5.03(d) as “Outside Counsel Only”. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall following consultation with the Company and after giving due consideration to its views and acting reasonably and in good faith direct and control all aspects of each party hereto’s efforts to gain regulatory clearance either before any Governmental Authority or in any action brought to enjoin the Transactions pursuant to any Antitrust Laws, including the right to “pull and refile” any filing under the HSR Act (upon good faith consultation with the Company). Without limiting the foregoing, each party shall provide to the other (or the others’ Representatives), upon request, copies of all material correspondence between such party and any antitrust authority relating to such filings.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, and in furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take any and all steps necessary, proper or advisable to (x) resolve, avoid, or eliminate impediments or objections, if any, that may be asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Antitrust Law or (y) avoid the entry of, effect the dissolution of, and have vacated, modified, suspended, eliminated, lifted, reversed or overturned, any decree, decision, determination, order or judgment entered or issued, or that becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered or issued, that would, or would reasonably be expected to, prevent, restrain, enjoin, prohibit, make unlawful, restrict or delay the consummation of the contemplated transactions, so as to enable the Parties to close the contemplated transactions expeditiously (but in no event later than the Outside Date), including (A) proposing, negotiating, committing to, agreeing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders or otherwise, the sale, lease, divesture, disposition, or license (or holding separate pending such disposition) of any assets, operations, rights, product lines, licenses, properties, products, rights, services or businesses of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or the Company or its Subsidiaries or any interest therein, (B) otherwise taking or committing or agreeing to restrictions or actions that after the Effective Time would limit Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ freedom of action or operations with respect to, or its or their ability to retain, any assets, operations, rights, product lines, licenses, properties, products, rights, services or businesses of Parent or its Subsidiaries or the Company or its Subsidiaries or any interest or interests therein, (C) otherwise agreeing to any other structural or conduct remedy with respect to Parent or its Subsidiaries or the Company or its Subsidiaries or any interest therein, or (D) agreeing to enter into, modify or terminate existing contractual relationships, contractual rights or contractual obligations, and promptly effecting the sale, lease, license, divestiture, disposal and holding separate of, assets, operations, rights, product lines, licenses, properties, products, rights, services or businesses of Parent or its Subsidiaries or the Company or its Subsidiaries or any interest or interests therein and the entry into agreements with, and submission to orders of, the relevant Governmental Authority giving effect thereto or to such restrictions or actions (such actions above individually or collectively, a “Regulatory Remedy”); provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.03(e) or any other provision of this Agreement shall require any of Buyer or any of its affiliates to agree or otherwise be required to agree, commit or effect any Regulatory Remedy, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the combined businesses of Parent, the Company and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole).

(f) In the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private party challenging the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall, and Parent shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, cooperate in all respects with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger, and (ii) Parent and Merger Sub must defend, at their cost and expense, any action or actions, whether judicial or administrative, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to agree to any term or take any action in connection with its obligations under this Section 5.03(f) that is not conditioned upon consummation of the Merger.

(g) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub nor any of Parent’s Subsidiaries shall, and Parent shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, take any action, including acquiring or agreeing to acquire, including by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business or any Person, corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, properties or equity interests, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation or such other action could reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any consents of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority seeking or entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise.

(h) Parent will be solely responsible for and pay all filing fees payable to Governmental Authorities under any Antitrust Law.

SECTION 5.04 Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, Judgment, court process or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system. The parties hereto agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Transactions following execution of this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties hereto (the “Announcement”). Notwithstanding the forgoing, this Section 5.04 shall not apply to any press release or other public statement made or proposed to be made by the Company or Parent in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.02.

SECTION 5.05 Access to Information; Confidentiality. Between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time and the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01, upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable restrictions or limitations as a result of COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measure, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and Parent’s Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers, employees, agents, properties, books, Contracts and records (other than any of the foregoing that relate to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, or subject to Section 5.02, to any Takeover Proposal or any other transactions potentially competing with or alternative to the Transaction or proposals from other parties relating to any competing or alternative transactions) and the Company shall furnish promptly to Parent and Parent’s Representatives such information concerning its business,

personnel, assets, liabilities and properties as Parent may reasonably request; provided that Parent and its Representatives shall use such information and access solely for the purpose of the consummation of the Transactions and post-Closing integration and shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide such access or information if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment (after consultation with its outside counsel), that doing so would (i) result in the disclosure of trade secrets or competitively sensitive information to third parties, (ii) violate applicable Law, an applicable Judgment or a binding Material Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party, (iii) jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or other legal privilege, or (iv) jeopardize the health and safety of any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries in light of COVID-19 (taking into account any COVID-19 Measure); provided, further, to the extent reasonably practicable, that (x) the parties hereto will make appropriate substitute arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding proviso apply and (y) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to communicate the applicable information to Parent in a way that would not violate any applicable Law or waive such a privilege. Until the Effective Time, all information provided amongst the parties hereto will be subject to the terms of the letter agreement dated as of November 29, 2021, by and among the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.05, any such access granted hereunder shall be facilitated in accordance with applicable Law, including COVID-19 Measures.

SECTION 5.06 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, in each case to the fullest extent permissible by applicable Law, (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company or was serving at the request of the Company or such subsidiary as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Person (including serving at the request of the Company or any such subsidiary with respect to any employee benefit plan) (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Action based on or arising out of (A) the fact that an Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or was serving at the request of the Company or such subsidiary as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Person (including serving at the request of the Company or any such subsidiary with respect to any employee benefit plan) or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary as a representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case of clauses (A) and (B), at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Action relating in whole or in part to the Transactions or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnitee), and (ii) assume (in the case of the Surviving Corporation, in the Merger without any further action) all obligations of the Company and such Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or

prior to the Effective Time as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in the agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement providing for indemnification between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnitee as set forth on Section 5.06(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause, unless otherwise required by Law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than are in the Company’s Organizational Documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees. In addition, from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall advance any expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) of any Indemnitee under this Section 5.06 as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.06.

(b) Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual litigation, claim or proceeding relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.06 (each, a “Claim”) for which indemnification has been sought by an Indemnitee hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such Claim or such Indemnitee otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnitees shall cooperate in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(c) Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnitees shall cooperate in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested during normal business hours without substantial interference and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith; provided, that neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any Indemnitee shall be obligated to provide such access or information if it determines, in its reasonable judgment (after consultation with its outside counsel), that doing so would (i) result in the disclosure of trade secrets or competitively sensitive information to third parties, (ii) violate applicable Law, an applicable Judgment or a binding Material Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party, (iii) jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or other legal privilege, or (iv) jeopardize the health and safety of any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries in light of COVID-19 (taking into account any COVID-19 Measure); provided, further, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation will use their reasonable best efforts to put in place arrangements to mitigate any circumstances described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) in order to avoid limiting the provision of any access or information.

(d) For the six (6)-year period commencing immediately after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time with respect to those individuals who are currently (and any additional individuals who prior to the Effective Time become) covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies on terms and scope with respect to such coverage, and in amount, no less favorable to such individuals than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement (or Parent may substitute therefor policies, issued by reputable insurers, of at least the same coverage with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, including a “tail” policy); provided that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 350% of the annual premium currently payable by the Company with respect to such current policy (the “Premium Cap”). The Company shall have the right prior to the Effective Time to purchase a six-year prepaid “tail policy” on terms and conditions providing at least substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, covering without limitation the Transactions, so long as premium under such policy does not exceed six times the Premium Cap. If such prepaid “tail policy” has been obtained by the Company, it shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain insurance pursuant to this Section 5.06(d) and the Surviving Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and to honor all of its obligations thereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.06 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under the Company’s Organizational Documents, by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.06 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.06 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification. The Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.06 applies and their respective heirs and representatives shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.06.

(f) In the event that (i) Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (A) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (B) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, or (ii) Parent or any of its successors or assigns dissolves the Surviving Corporation, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 5.06.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors or officers, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.06 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

SECTION 5.07 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such steps as may be necessary to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the Transactions by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 5.08 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide to the employees of the Company immediately prior to, and who remain so employed immediately following, the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) (i) an annual base salary or base wage rate (as applicable) that is no less favorable, than that provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) target short-term incentive and commission opportunities that are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) on a group basis, employee benefit plans and arrangements (other than severance benefits pursuant to Section 5.08(b) (but, for the avoidance of doubt, including severance benefits and payments for all Continuing Employees other than those covered pursuant to Section 5.08(b)), defined benefit pension, defined contribution employer contributions, nonqualified deferred compensation, retiree or post-termination health or welfare benefit, equity or equity-based compensation and retention or change in control-related compensation or benefits (collectively, the “Specified Arrangements”)) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefit plans and arrangements (other than the Specified Arrangements) provided to Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) With respect to each Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated pursuant to a Qualifying Termination (as defined on Section 5.08(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter) during the period commencing on the Effective Time and ending on the second anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall provide such Continuing Employee with severance benefits set forth on Section 5.08(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(c) If requested by Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take or shall cause to be taken all actions necessary, including the adoption of written resolutions of the appropriate governing body in a form satisfactory to Parent (copies of which shall be provided to Parent prior to the Closing), to terminate each Company Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Company 401(k) Plan”), and to fully vest all participants under such Company 401(k) Plan, such termination and vesting to be effective no later than the Business Day preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company 401(k) Plan termination and full vesting of participants thereunder may be made contingent upon the consummation of the Transactions. If Parent requests that any Company 401(k) Plan be terminated, the applicable Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate, effective as of the Effective Time or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, in a Tax-qualified defined contribution plan of Parent or its Subsidiaries (each such plan, a “Parent 401(k) Plan”).

Upon the distribution of the assets in the accounts under the Company 401(k) Plan to the participants, Parent shall take any commercially reasonable action necessary to permit the Continuing Employees to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” from the applicable Company 401(k) Plan to the applicable Parent 401(k) Plan (including in cash or notes (in the case of loans)).

(d) With respect to any plan, program, agreement or arrangement of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, including, any vacation, paid time-off and severance arrangements, in which the Continuing Employees participate after the Effective Time, for purposes of eligibility to participate, level of vacation and severance benefits and vesting (other than with respect to future equity awards), each Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to the extent service with the predecessor employer was recognized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) shall be treated as service with the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to the same extent such service was recognized for the same purpose under a similar Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits or compensation for the same period of service. No Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plans or any retiree medical or life insurance or other retiree welfare-type benefits, or for any purposes under any equity or equity-based plans, that are maintained by Parent and its Subsidiaries.

(e) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any group health benefit plan maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries which Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time and in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Company Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses paid by each Continuing Employee (and his or her covered, eligible dependents) during the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant group health benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time and in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(f) For the 90-day period following the Effective Time, Parent shall not, and will cause the Surviving Corporation not to, take any action that would trigger the notification requirements of the WARN Act with respect to the Continuing Employees.

(g) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Subsidiary to, honor the Company Plans in accordance with their respective terms.

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 5.08, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an establishment, termination, amendment or other modification of any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement, or shall limit the right of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to establish, amend, terminate or otherwise modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement following the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 5.08, whether express or implied, shall create any rights or remedies whatsoever, including any third-party beneficiary or other rights, in any Person not a party to this Agreement, or shall be construed to create any right to employment or service with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates or continued employment or to any particular term or condition of employment or to limit the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to terminate the employment or service of any service provider (including any Continuing Employee) at any time and for any or no reason. Further, nothing in this Section 5.08 shall (i) apply to Continuing Employees who are furloughed, terminated, temporarily laid off, or subject to reduced hours or benefits as a result of COVID-19-related circumstances or (ii) limit Parent’s right, in its sole discretion, to, or to cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to, furlough, terminate, temporarily layoff, or reduce the hours or benefits of, any employee (including any Continuing Employee).

(i) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to take the actions set forth on Section 5.08(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

SECTION 5.09 Notification of Certain Matters; Stockholder Litigation.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, (ii) any Actions commenced or, to such party’s Knowledge, threatened against such party which relates to this Agreement or the Transactions or (iii) any fact, event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 not being able to be satisfied prior to the Outside Date (provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.09(a) shall not limit or otherwise affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties hereto, the remedies available hereunder to the party hereto receiving such notice or the conditions to such party’s obligation to consummate the Merger or any of the other Transactions) (the items set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (ii) each being “Transaction Litigation”).

(b) The Company (i) shall (A) give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense and settlement of any Transaction Litigation and (B) keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof, and (ii) shall not offer or propose to settle, settle or agree to settle any such Transaction Litigation without Parent’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

SECTION 5.10 Stock Exchange De-listing.

The Company shall, and, if applicable, shall cause its Representatives to, provide Parent with copies of all material correspondence between the Company, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement. Prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (including any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) with respect thereto, the Company shall provide, and, if applicable, cause its Representatives to provide, Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and propose comments on such Proxy Statement (or such amendment or supplement thereto) or response to the SEC and shall in good faith consider such comments reasonably proposed by Parent for inclusion therein. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate reasonably with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement, including promptly furnishing to the Company in writing any and all information relating to it as may be required to be set forth in the Proxy Statement under applicable Law.

The adoption of this Agreement, the adjournment of the Stockholders Meeting to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes in favor of adoption of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.11(c), and the advisory vote required by Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act shall be the only matters which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company’s stockholders at the Stockholders Meeting unless otherwise approved in writing by Parent. Promptly after the date of this Agreement (and thereafter, upon the reasonable request of Parent), the Company shall conduct a “broker search” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act for a record date for the Stockholders Meeting that is twenty (20) Business Days after the date of such “broker search”.

(c) The Company shall not postpone, recess or adjourn the Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent; provided that the Company may postpone, recess or adjourn such meeting in its sole discretion (i) to the extent required by applicable Law, (ii) if as of the time for which the Stockholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), (A) the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock to obtain the Stockholder Approval to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies or (B) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) and voting to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Stockholders Meeting or (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and dissemination of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Stockholders Meeting to the extent so determined to be necessary; provided, further that, other than pursuant to clause (i) above, the Stockholders Meeting shall not be postponed, recessed or adjourned pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso to a date that is more than thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which the Stockholders Meeting was originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), and, in any event, to a date not fewer than three (3) Business Days prior to the Outside Date, without the prior written consent of Parent.

SECTION 5.14 Financing.

(a) Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, use its and their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions (including the “market flex” terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof) expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof until the Transactions are consummated or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII, (ii) satisfy or obtain a waiver on a timely basis of all conditions applicable to Parent and its Affiliates set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter that are within its or its Affiliates’ control, (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions (including the “market flex” terms) set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, (iv) consummate the Debt Financing on or prior to the Closing Date, (v) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter and (vi) comply with its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter. Without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, denied, delayed or conditioned), Parent shall not permit any amendment, supplement or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or any replacement of the Debt Commitment Letter if such amendment, supplement, replacement, modification, waiver, or replacement would: (x) reduce (or have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount in respect of the Debt Financing) such that the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing, together with cash on hand of Parent and its Subsidiaries, and other available sources that would be available on the Closing Date would not be sufficient to pay the Required Amount; (y) amend the conditions precedent to the Debt Financing or impose any new or additional conditions or contingencies to the Debt Commitment Letter in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (1) materially impair, delay or prevent the Closing or (2) make materially less likely to occur the funding of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Debt Financing) on the Closing; or (z) materially adversely affect the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or other agreements relating to the Debt Financing as provided by this Section 5.14. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment, supplement or modification to effectuate any “market flex” terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or to add any additional agents or other financial institutions thereto as provided for therein shall be permitted and shall not require written consent of the Company. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver to or under, or any replacement of, any Debt Commitment Letter.

(b) Parent shall, upon the Company’s request, keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail with respect to all material developments with respect to the status of its efforts to arrange, obtain and complete the Debt Financing (including providing the Company with copies of all executed definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing).

(c) Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice of: (i) any termination of the Debt Commitment Letter; (ii) any actual or threatened material breach, default, termination or repudiation of any provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter of which Parent becomes aware; and (iii) the occurrence of any event or development that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the ability of Parent to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and required to pay the Required Amount. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions

(including any “market flex” terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter or from the Debt Financing Sources contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the Debt Financing (or any definitive financing agreement relating thereto) shall expire or be withdrawn, terminated, repudiated or rescinded, in whole or in part, for any reason (but without limiting the obligations of Parent in this Section 5.14(c)) (unless such portion of the Debt Financing is not reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of the Required Amount), Parent shall promptly notify the Company and shall use its reasonable best efforts to (x) arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative financing from the same or alternative sources (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions, including payment of the Required Amount, with terms and conditions not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Parent than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the “market flex” terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof) and (y) obtain a debt financing commitment letter (including any associated fee letter and/or engagement letter) with respect to such Alternative Financing, of which true, correct and complete copies shall be promptly provided to the Company upon execution thereof (which fee letter and/or engagement letter may be redacted with respect to any interest rates, fee amounts, pricing caps and other similar economic terms (including “market flex” terms) set forth therein (none of which would adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, or availability of such Alternative Financing or reduce the aggregate principal amount thereof)). The Alternative Financing (A) shall be sufficient to pay, when added to the remaining Debt Financing (if any) and cash on hand of Parent and its Subsidiaries, the Required Amount and (B) shall not include conditions or contingencies that would reasonably be expected to (1) materially impair, delay or prevent the Closing or (2) make materially less likely to occur the funding of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Debt Financing) on the Closing. For purposes of this Agreement, references to the term “Debt Commitment Letter” shall mean the Debt Commitment Letter as permitted or required to be amended, supplemented, modified or replaced by this Section 5.14, and references to the “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as permitted or required to be amended, modified, supplemented or replaced by this Section 5.14.

(d) Parent acknowledges and agrees that receipt of Debt Financing is not a condition to Closing.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.14 or anything else in this Agreement, in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Parent be deemed or construed to require Parent to, and Parent shall not be required to, (x) incur or pay any fees to obtain a waiver or amendment of any term of the Debt Commitment Letter or fees (in the aggregate) in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof or (y) agree to conditionality or economic terms of the Debt Commitment Letter that are materially less favorable than those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including any flex provisions therein) as of the date hereof.

shall not be effective prior to the Closing) by Persons that shall remain officers or directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing to authorize and permit the consummation of the Available Financing (including (subject to and contingent upon the Closing) the Company and its Subsidiaries executing agreements to pledge, grant security interests in, and otherwise grant liens on, the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries); (vii) execute and deliver a customary certificate of the chief financial officer (or other comparable officer) of the Company and its Subsidiaries in customary form with respect to financial information constituting Required Financial Information that is included in the offering materials used in connection with the offer and sale of notes, bonds or other securities as reasonably requested by the Debt Financing Sources; and (viii) request and facilitate the independent auditors of the Company to (A) provide comfort letters (including “negative assurance” comfort and change period comfort) with respect to financial information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as reasonably requested by Parent as necessary and customary for financings similar to the Available Financing and (B) participate in accounting due diligence sessions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the Company be required to: (1) pay any commitment or other fee or bear or reimburse any expense (other than with respect to the production and delivery of historical financials) in connection with the Available Financing prior to Closing, or incur any other actual or potential liability in connection with the Available Financing; (2) take any actions to the extent such actions would unreasonably or materially interfere with their respective ongoing business or operations; (3) take any action that would reasonably be expected to conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, any of their respective Organizational Documents, any applicable Laws or any material Contract; (4) take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to Closing set forth in Article VI to not be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement; (5) provide access to or disclose information that the Company reasonably determines would violate any attorney-client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality requirements applicable to, the Company and its Subsidiaries or waive or eliminate any privilege (provided that the Company shall notify Parent if any such information that Parent or any Debt Financing Source has specifically identified and requested is being withheld as a result of attorney-client privilege or any such obligation of confidentiality, as applicable, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to disclose any such information without violating such privilege or confidentiality obligations); (6) become an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Available Financing, except, solely in the case of the Company and its Subsidiaries, unless and until the Closing occurs; (7) take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in any director, officer or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries to incur or have any personal liability under the Debt Commitment Letter or any other agreements related to the Available Financing or having to give any indemnity in connection with the Available Financing (except, solely in the case of the Company and its Subsidiaries, unless and until the Closing occurs); (8) deliver or cause the delivery of any legal opinions in connection with the Available Financing; (9) execute or deliver, or take any corporate or other action to adopt or approve, any document, agreement, certificate or instrument with respect to or in connection with the Available Financing that would be effective prior to the Closing (except any authorization letters delivered by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Available Financing and contemplated by clause (iii)(II) above or certificate contemplated by clause (vii) above); or (10) provide (and Parent shall be responsible for) (I) pro forma financial information, including pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any pro forma financial statements (provided, for the avoidance of doubt,

that the Company shall provide such other historical financial information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably available to the Company and reasonably requested by Parent in connection with Parent’s preparation of pro forma financial statements), (II) any description of all or any component of the Available Financing, including any such description to be included in any liquidity or capital resources disclosure or any “description of notes” or other information customarily provided by investment banks or their counsel in the preparation of an offering memorandum for private placements of non-convertible bonds pursuant to Rule 144A, (III) projections, risk factors or other forward-looking statements relating to any component of the Available Financing or (IV) separate subsidiary financial statements or other information of the type required by Rule 3-09, Rule 3-10, Rule 3-16, Rule 13-01 or Rule 13-02 of Regulation S-X or Item 402 of Regulation S-K or other information customarily excluded from an offering memorandum for private placements of non-convertible bonds pursuant to Rule 144A. The Company consents to the reasonable use of the logos of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Available Financing if such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or its Subsidiaries or the respective reputation or goodwill of any of the foregoing.

(b) Whether or not the Closing occurs, Parent shall (i) reimburse the Company on the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives in connection with such cooperation pursuant to this Section 5.15 or otherwise in connection with the Available Financing (it being understood that the reimbursement set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to any fees, costs and expenses incurred by, or on behalf of, the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates in connection with their ordinary course financial reporting requirements, including the preparation of any historical financial information) and (ii) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective Representatives from and against any and all damages or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Available Financing and the matters contemplated by and this Section 5.15 (including the performance of their respective obligations under, or the taking of or refraining from any action in accordance with, this Section 5.15) and any information used in connection therewith, in each case, other than to the extent any of the foregoing arises from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives or material inaccuracy of any financial information provided in writing by the Company or its Subsidiaries specifically for use in connection with the Available Financing.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.15, the Company shall prepare and provide (or cause to be provided) to Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable (but no later than the applicable period prescribed for such filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the case of the Company’s periodic reports) (i) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, substantially in the form required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (including the audited financial statements of the Company required to be included therein, but excluding information required by Part III of Form 10-K), (ii) if the Marketing Period has not been completed on or prior to May 16, 2022, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 substantially in the form required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (including

the unaudited financial statements of the Company required to be included therein) and (iii) if the Marketing Period has not been completed on or prior to August 12, 2022, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 substantially in the form required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (including the unaudited financial statements of the Company required to be included therein) (clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, the “Required Financial Information”).

The Company shall deliver to the Parent, (a) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, a draft of a customary payoff letter from the administrative agent and/or collateral agent under the Credit Agreement, which shall (i) set forth the aggregate amounts required to satisfy in full all such Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the Closing Date (but excluding any amounts constituting contingent obligations or other obligations that by their terms survive the termination of the Credit Agreement) and (ii) evidence release and termination of all security interests in respect thereof (including, if applicable, recordable forms to be recorded at the United States Patent Office and United States Copyright Office and other applicable Governmental Authorities), and (b) on or prior to the Closing Date, an executed copy of the payoff letter and, subject to the receipt of the applicable payoff amounts, customary Lien release documentation from the administrative agent and/or collateral agent under the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 5.17 OIG Consent.

(a) Within ten (10) Business Days following the date hereof, the Company shall notify the OIG of the parties’ entry into this Agreement and the Transactions in accordance with the notification contemplated by the Company’s Corporate Integrity Agreement (the “CIA”).

(b) As promptly as practicable thereafter, the Company shall notify the OIG in writing that it wishes to obtain a determination by OIG that Parent and the Transactions will not be subject to the requirements of the CIA, which notice shall include a description of the Transactions, its terms, the name of Parent and, if provided by Parent, contact information of Parent, and the parties hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain such determination (including in the form of an email) and have such determination provide that the obligations set forth in the CIA will (x) apply only to the Company’s business and “Covered Persons” (as defined in the CIA) following the Closing, (y) not make Parent or any of their Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries following the Closing) “Covered Persons” (as defined in the CIA) under the CIA to the extent that such Persons are reasonably deemed by the Company and its Subsidiaries (consistent with Parent’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.17(d)) not to be furnishing patient care items or services or to be performing billing or coding functions on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (z) not require any obligations or certifications of Parent’s or their Affiliates’ (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries following the Closing) board of directors (or similar governing body), or their individual directors, managers, officers or senior management (vice president level or higher), pursuant to sections III.A.2, III.A.3 and/or III.A.4 of the CIA, unless such individuals are also designated by Parent or the Company or its Subsidiaries as either members of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ “Compliance Committee” (as defined in the CIA), members of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ boards of directors or “Certifying Employees” (as defined in the CIA), in each case consistent with Parent’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.17(d) (in which case their service in those roles will be governed by the terms of the CIA) (collectively, the “OIG Consent”).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that the OIG may provide that the requirements of the CIA will apply to any employees of Parent and their Affiliates that meet the CIA definition of “Covered Persons” with respect to the obligations imposed by virtue of those designations under the CIA and Parent acknowledge and agree that any such provision by the OIG shall be reasonable.

(d) In obtaining the OIG Consent, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts and take all commercially reasonable measures, including exercising flexibility in establishing reporting structures, (i) to develop and offer to the OIG (including following comments and other input from the OIG) a post-Closing structure and operational plan for the Company and its Subsidiaries that would avoid or eliminate any impediments that might be asserted by the OIG with respect to issuing the OIG Consent and (ii) to work with the OIG in ensuring that the post-Closing structure, management and integration plan, including the identification and designation of individuals to be subject to the CIA, result in the OIG Consent. Prior to a party submitting any notifications, filings or other materials described in the immediately preceding sentence to the OIG, the submitting party will provide copies thereof to the other parties for review and comment, will reasonably consider any comments received from the other parties thereon, and will otherwise work together in good faith with the other parties in connection with all such actions and communications with the OIG. No party may engage in ex parte communications with the OIG regarding the OIG Consent without the prior consent of the other parties. Each party shall cooperate in good faith with the other parties, consistent with this Section 5.17, to obtain the OIG Consent; provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.17, (x) nothing in this Section 5.17 shall require the Company or any of its subsidiaries to pay any fee or incur any other liability or obligation in connection with obtaining the OIG Consent or be required to take any action that would subject it to actual or potential liability, to bear any cost or expense or to pay any fee or make any other payment or agree to provide any indemnity or other material covenant in connection with obtaining the OIG Consent, in each case, prior to the Effective Time and (y) none of the Company or its subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors (with respect to any subsidiary of the Company) or employees shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to obtaining the OIG Consent that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing and no directors of the Company shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to obtaining the OIG Consent. Each of Parent and Merger Sub affirms that it is not a condition to the Closing or any of its other obligations under this Agreement that the OIG Consent is obtained.

The consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 8.07(b) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.07(b) and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto. Each party hereto agrees that service of process upon such party in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if notice is given by overnight courier at the address set forth in Section 8.10 of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.15 Interpretation.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article of, a Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The words “date hereof” when used in this Agreement shall refer to the date of this Agreement. The terms “or”, “any” and “either” are not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. The words “made available to Parent” and words of similar import refer to documents posted to the Data Room by or on behalf of the Company on or prior to 5:30 pm New York City time on January 6, 2022. All accounting terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them under GAAP. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The words “ordinary course of business” shall mean the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any agreement, instrument, Law or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument, Law or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of Laws or statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and any rules, guidelines or regulations promulgated thereunder and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “dollars” or “$” shall refer to the lawful money of the United States. References to a Person are also to its permitted assigns and successors. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any action under this Agreement is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first succeeding Business Day thereafter. The words “writing,” “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form. The word “day” means calendar day, unless Business Day is expressly specified.

(b) The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.16 Liability of Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees it shall not have any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Sources in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing (including any Alternative Financing or any other Available Financing) (prior to the Closing) or the Transactions or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, nor shall the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its direct or indirect stockholders be entitled to specific performance of any commitment letter (including the Debt Commitment Letter) or similar agreement entered into by Parent or any of its Affiliates for any Debt Financing (including any Alternative Financing or any other Available Financings) against the Debt Financing Sources providing such financing; provided, that the foregoing will not limit the rights and obligations of Parent or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive debt documents executed in connection with the Debt Financing or other debt financings (including any Alternative Financing, any replacement financing or any offering of debt securities) or any Debt Financing Source’s obligations to Parent or any of its Affiliates under the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive debt documents executed in connection with such debt financing.

way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or other debt financings (including any Alternative Financing, any replacement financing or any offering of debt securities) or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (vi) agrees that no Debt Financing Sources shall be subject to any special, consequential, punitive or indirect damages or damages of a tortious nature, (vii) and agrees that the Debt Financing Sources are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, the foregoing agreements in this Section 8.16 and such provisions (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provision would modify the substance of this Section) shall not be amended in any way adverse to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Source.
