AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of January 14, 2026 (this “Agreement”), by and among Boston Scientific Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Pinehurst Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Penumbra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and together with Parent and Merger Sub, collectively, the “parties” and each individually a “party”). All capitalized terms used in this Agreement will have the meanings assigned to such terms in Section 9.03 or as otherwise defined elsewhere in this Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have agreed to enter into a business combination transaction pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will thereupon cease and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has unanimously (a) determined that this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions (as defined below) to be consummated by the Company are advisable to, fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, (b) duly authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions to be consummated by the Company, including the Merger, and (c) resolved to recommend adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Merger Sub has (a) determined that this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions to be consummated by Merger Sub are advisable to, fair to, and in the best interests of, Merger Sub and its sole stockholder, (b) duly authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance by Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub of the Transactions to be consummated by it, including the Merger, and (c) resolved to recommend adoption of this Agreement by the sole stockholder of Merger Sub;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”) has duly authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance by Parent of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent of the Transactions to be consummated by it; and

WHEREAS, upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Excluded Shares, will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of and any exceptions in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

Article I

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent.

Section 1.02 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.01, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place by electronic exchange of the required closing deliverables at 8:00 a.m., New York time, on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the satisfaction or written waiver (where permissible under applicable Law) of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing (subject to their satisfaction or written waiver, where permissible)), unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

Section 1.03 Effective Time. On the Closing Date, or on such other date as Parent and the Company may agree to in writing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause a certificate of merger with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in such form as required by and in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger shall have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such other date and time as is agreed upon by Parent and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL, such date and time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”.

Section 1.04 Effects of the Merger As a result of the Merger, (a) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Corporation and (b) the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges and powers of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all of the debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.05 Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Company Charter”) shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read the same as set forth on Exhibit A hereto, and as so amended and restated shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. Parent and the Company shall take such

actions reasonably necessary to cause the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company as in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Company Bylaws”) to be amended and restated in their entirety pursuant to the Merger to conform to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Penumbra, Inc.”), and as so amended and restated shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Section 1.06 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. Unless otherwise designated by Parent prior to the Effective Time, (a) the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and (b) the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time or such other individuals designated by Parent as of the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.07 Subsequent Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation, its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Merger Sub vested in or to be vested in the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each such corporation or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

Article II

EFFECTS ON SECURITIES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.01 Effects on Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Conversion of Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”), other than Canceled Shares or Dissenting Shares (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”), shall, subject to Section 2.02, be canceled and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof in accordance with, and subject to the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in this Article II, the following consideration (collectively with, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares as contemplated by Section 2.04(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(h), the “Merger Consideration”), in each case, without interest:

(i) for each Share with respect to which an election to receive Parent Common Stock (a “Stock Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or changed pursuant to Section 2.03 (collectively, the “Stock Election Shares”), 3.8721 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Parent Shares (the “Stock Consideration”);

(ii) for each Share with respect to which an election to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or changed pursuant to Section 2.03 (collectively, the “Cash Election Shares”), $374.00 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration”); and

(iii) for each Share other than Shares as to which a Stock Election or a Cash Election has been effectively made and not revoked or changed pursuant to Section 2.03 (collectively, the “Non-Election Shares”), the right to receive such Merger Consideration as is determined in accordance with this Article II.

(b) No Further Rights. Each Share to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article II shall, at the Effective Time, no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares, shall, from and after the Effective Time, cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive, upon surrender or transfer of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 2.04, the Merger Consideration.

(c) Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Parent-Owned Shares. Each Share held in the treasury of the Company or owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Company Subsidiary and each Share owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto (collectively, “Cancelled Shares”).

(d) Shares of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.02 Proration.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the total number of Shares that shall be entitled to receive the Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a) shall be equal to 73.26% of the aggregate number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) (the “Maximum Cash Share Number”), and the total number of Shares that shall be entitled to receive the Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a) shall be equal to 26.74% of the aggregate number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Shares), in each case, rounded to the nearest whole number.

(b) Promptly after (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after) the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among holders of Shares of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration as follows:

(i) if the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Cash Elections shall have been made (which for this purpose shall, subject to Section 2.08, be deemed to include the Dissenting Shares determined as of the Effective Time) (the “Cash Election Number”) equals or exceeds the Maximum Cash Share Number, then (A) all Stock Election Shares and Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and (B) all Cash Election Shares of each holder of record of Shares (each, a “Holder”) to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such Holder by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Cash Share Number and the denominator of which is the Cash Election Number (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.01(a), whether fractions of Cash Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such Holder’s Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration; and

(ii) if the Cash Election Number is less than the Maximum Cash Share Number (the amount by which the Maximum Cash Share Number exceeds the Cash Election Number, the “Shortfall Number”), then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and the Non-Election Shares and Stock Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

(A) if the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and the Non-Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.01(a), whether fractions of Non-Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such holder’s Non-Election Shares, if any, being converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration; or

(B) if the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the Shortfall Number exceeds the total number of Non-Election Shares, and the denominator of which is the total number

of Stock Election Shares (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.01(a), whether fractions of Stock Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.

Section 2.03 Election Procedures.

(a) An election form (the “Election Form”), including a letter of transmittal and related instructions, which Election Form and such other documents shall be in the form as Parent and the Company shall reasonably agree upon, shall be initially mailed not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline or on such other date as Parent and the Company shall mutually agree (the “Mailing Date”) to each Holder as of the close of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Mailing Date or on such other date as Parent and the Company shall mutually agree (the “Election Form Record Date”).

(b) Parent shall make available one or more Election Forms (and other related documents) as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all persons who become record Holders between the Election Form Record Date and the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Election Deadline, and the Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein.

(c) Each Election Form shall permit the Holder to specify: (i) the number such Holder’s Shares with respect to which such holder makes a Cash Election; and (ii) the number of such Holder’s Shares with respect to which such Holder makes a Stock Election.

(d) Any Shares with respect to which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to Parent’s good faith estimate of the Closing Date (or such other time and date as Parent and the Company shall agree) (the “Election Deadline”) (other than Excluded Shares) shall be deemed to be Non-Election Shares. The Company and Parent shall cooperate to issue a press release reasonably satisfactory to each of them announcing the date of the Election Deadline at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Election Deadline. If the Closing Date is delayed to a subsequent date, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and Parent and the Company shall promptly announce any such delay and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Deadline.

(e) Any election shall have been effective only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form (including any required letter of transmittal, any Certificates and any other documents required by the Election Form) or any required letter of transmittal and the related instructions, by the Election Deadline. If any Election is not properly made with respect to any Shares, such Election shall be deemed to be not in effect, and the Shares covered by such Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Non-Election Shares, unless a proper Election is thereafter timely made. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the authorized person properly submitting such Election Form, by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the Company Common Shares represented by such Election Form shall become Non-Election Shares, except to the extent a subsequent election is

properly made with respect to any or all of such Shares prior to the Election Deadline. All elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the parties that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. If an election is revoked, any Certificates and other documents received by the Exchange Agent shall be promptly returned to the stockholder submitting the same to the Exchange Agent.

(f) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. None of Parent, the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form.

(g) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, and in no event later than the third (3rd) Business Day thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall make all computations contemplated by Section 2.01(a).

(h) Without limitation of Section 6.01, the Company and Parent shall solicit Cash Elections, Stock Elections and Mixed Elections under this Agreement in compliance with, and shall make any and all filings that are necessary or advisable under, all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

Section 2.04 Exchange Procedures and Exchange Fund.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) in advance by the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), and enter into an exchange agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”), with such Exchange Agent for the purpose of exchanging (i) certificates that represented Shares (the “Certificates”) and (ii) Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article II. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Holders (other than holders of Excluded Shares), (x) evidence of shares in book-entry form representing the Parent Shares required to be issued pursuant to Section 2.01(a) in exchange for outstanding Shares (other than Excluded Shares) and (y) cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.01(a) (such evidence of shares in book-entry form and cash so deposited being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Any cash included in the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇; provided, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, and that such investments shall only be invested in the manner provided in the Exchange Agent Agreement. In the event the Exchange Fund shall at any time be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.01(a)(ii) and the payment of any cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares as contemplated by Section 2.04(e) or any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(h), Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent such additional funds to ensure that the Exchange Fund, at all relevant times, is maintained

at a level sufficient to make such payments. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be the property of, and payable to, Parent.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate, the underlying Shares of which were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares as contemplated by Section 2.04(e)) at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates (if any) shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent, and shall otherwise be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably specify; and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares as contemplated by Section 2.04(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(h)) for each Share formerly represented by such Certificates. Any Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares as contemplated by Section 2.04(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(h)) paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Shares formerly represented by such Certificates. If payment of the Merger Consideration (or cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares as contemplated by Section 2.04(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(h)) is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration (or cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares as contemplated by Section 2.04(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(h)) to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable. Any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more Book-Entry Shares shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares as contemplated by Section 2.04(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(h)) payable for each such Book-Entry Share. Payment of the Merger Consideration (or cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares as contemplated by Section 2.04(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(h)) with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent

only the right to receive the Merger Consideration (or cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares as contemplated by Section 2.04(e) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.04(h)) as contemplated by this Agreement. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(c) No Further Rights. From and after the Effective Time, holders of Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares and as stockholders of the Company, except as provided herein or by Law.

(d) Exchange Fund. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to hold any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) for not less than twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, after which time such portion of the Exchange Fund shall be maintained or distributed by the Exchange Agent pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agent Agreement. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any person in respect of any Merger Consideration (or cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Shares as contemplated by Section 2.04(e)) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares or book-entry credit of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or upon the conversion of Book-Entry Shares or Company Equity Awards, no dividends or other distributions of Parent shall relate to such fractional share interests and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of Parent. Each Holder or a holder of Company Equity Awards who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a Parent Share or Parent Shares shall receive in lieu thereof cash (rounded to the nearest cent) (x) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the fractional share interest to which such person (after taking into account (A) all Shares formerly represented by all Certificates surrendered by such holder and all Book-Entry Shares or (B) in the case of holders of Company Equity Awards, all Shares that were subject to Company Equity Awards that were formerly held by such holder and were converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration) would otherwise be entitled by (ii) the Parent Stock Price or (y) pursuant to other customary procedures and methodologies used by the Exchange Agent. The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(f) Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares, Company Options or Company RSUs (including through participation in the Company ESPP) such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under all applicable federal, state or local Tax Laws and pay such withholding amount over to the appropriate Governmental Authority. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such holder in respect of

which such deduction or withholding were made by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

(g) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon (i) the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and (ii) if required by the Surviving Company, an indemnity bond in form and substance and with surety reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent shall pay in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

(h) Dividends. Subject to applicable Law, there shall be paid to the holder of the Parent Shares issued in exchange for Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to Section 2.04(b), without interest, (i) at the time of delivery of such Parent Share by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(b), the amount of dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Parent Shares, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such delivery of such Parent Share by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(b), and a payment date subsequent to such delivery of such Parent Share by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(b), payable with respect to such Parent Shares.

Section 2.05 Share Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent for any reason shall be canceled against delivery of the Merger Consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

Section 2.06 Company Options; Company RSUs; Company ESPP.

(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Shares granted prior thereto under any Company Stock Plan (other than any option granted under the Company ESPP) (each, a “Company Option”), whether vested or unvested, with an exercise price per Share that is less than the Equity Award Consideration Value, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled and converted into the right to receive, subject to reduction of the Option Cost, for each Share underlying such Company Option, (i) an amount in cash equal to the Equity Award Cash Consideration (the “Option Cash Consideration”) plus (ii) the Equity Award Stock Consideration. The per Share exercise price of such Company Option and any deduction and withholding under applicable Tax Laws (the amount of such exercise price per Company Option, together with any deductions and withholdings, the “Option Cost”) shall first reduce the Option Cash Consideration payable with respect to such Company Option until such Option Cash Consideration is zero, and next, if the Option Cost is greater than the Option Cash Consideration payable with respect to such Company Option (such excess, if any, the “Excess Option Cost”), the Equity Award Stock Consideration issuable with respect to such Company Option shall be reduced by a number of Parent Shares equal

to (x) such Excess Option Cost divided by (y) the Parent Stock Price, rounded up to the nearest whole share. Parent shall issue the Equity Award Stock Consideration issuable with respect to such Company Option and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Option Cash Consideration payable in respect of such Company Option, in each case, as it will be reduced pursuant to, and as contemplated by, this Section 2.06(a), as promptly as practicable following (and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days following) the Effective Time. The Surviving Corporation shall remit any Option Cost associated with deductions and withholdings to the appropriate Governmental Authority in cash, and such remitted amount shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of such Company Option in cash.

(b) At the Effective Time, each Company Option, whether vested or unvested, that has an exercise price per Share that is equal to or greater than the Equity Award Consideration Value, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled without the payment of consideration.

(c) At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award granted under any Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company RSU”) which is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that (i) was granted prior to January 1, 2026, (ii) was granted in respect of a performance period ending prior to January 1, 2026 (other than the SIP Awards), (iii) is vested but not yet settled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iv) by its terms becomes vested in all respects as a result of the occurrence of the Closing or (v) is held by a non-employee member of the Company Board or an officer of the Company listed on Section 2.06(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Accelerated RSUs”), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, to the extent not vested, vest and be canceled and converted into the right to receive, subject to any reduction of the RSU Cost, the Equity Award Consideration for each Share underlying such Accelerated RSU. To the extent the Equity Award Consideration payable and issuable in respect of an Accelerated RSU is subject to deduction and withholding under applicable Tax Laws (the aggregate amount of such deductions and withholdings, the “RSU Cost”), such RSU Cost shall first reduce the Equity Award Cash Consideration payable with respect to such Accelerated RSU until such Equity Award Cash Consideration is zero, and next, if the RSU Cost is greater than the Equity Award Cash Consideration payable with respect to such Accelerated RSU (such excess, if any, the “Excess RSU Cost”), the Equity Award Stock Consideration issuable with respect to such Accelerated RSU shall be reduced by a number of Parent Shares equal to (x) such Excess RSU Cost divided by (y) the Parent Stock Price, rounded up to the nearest whole share. Parent shall issue the Equity Award Stock Consideration issuable with respect to such Accelerated RSU and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Equity Award Cash Consideration payable with respect to such Accelerated RSU, in each case, as it may be reduced pursuant to, and as contemplated by, this Section 2.06(c), as promptly as practicable following (and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days following) the Effective Time; provided, that no Equity Award Consideration shall be delivered to the extent it would result in the incurrence of a penalty Tax under Section 409A of the Code, and instead, any delivery shall be made on the earliest date possible without incurring any such penalty Tax. The Surviving Corporation shall remit any RSU Cost to the appropriate Governmental Authority in cash, and such remitted amount shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of such Accelerated RSU in cash.

(d) At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU (including any Company RSU not yet formally granted that relates to an outstanding award pursuant to a contractual commitment to deliver Company RSUs under a sales incentive plan (the “SIP Awards”)) and any Performance Contingent RSUs) that is not an Accelerated RSU (each, a “Converted RSU”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, be deemed outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and any applicable performance condition for any incomplete performance periods shall be reasonably assessed based on actual performance through the Effective Time, and assumed by Parent and converted into a restricted stock unit award denominated in Parent Shares. Each Converted RSU shall continue to have and be subject to the vesting terms set forth in Section 5.01(b)(x) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and such other terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company RSU pursuant to the award agreement evidencing such Company RSU award before the Effective Time, except that: (i) each Converted RSU shall be in respect of that number of Parent Shares equal to the sum of (A) the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU and (2) the Equity Award Stock Consideration, plus (B) the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU and (2) the Conversion Ratio; and (ii) each Converted RSU shall be subject to such terms and conditions that become operative and applicable pursuant to its terms in connection with the Closing.

(e) The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that after the date hereof: (i) no new offering or purchase periods commence under the Company ESPP; (ii) no new participants are permitted into the Company ESPP; and (iii) no existing participant in the Company ESPP as of the date hereof increases such participant’s election with respect to any purchase period in effect as of the date hereof. To the extent that any purchase period in effect on the date hereof is scheduled to remain in effect as of the Effective Time (the “Final Purchase Period”), the Company shall provide at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of the Closing Date to each participant in the Final Purchase Period and, following the receipt of such notice, such participants shall have the right to terminate their outstanding purchase rights under the Company ESPP effective as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall take all actions necessary to, contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, terminate the Company ESPP as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and effective as of such termination, all outstanding purchase rights under the Company ESPP shall be terminated without being exercised. All payroll deductions and contributions accumulated by each participant as of such termination (and not previously used to purchase Shares) shall be returned to such participant as promptly as practicable in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP, without interest and subject to applicable withholding in accordance with Section 2.04. No Shares shall be issued in respect of any purchase period that is outstanding as of such termination, and no further rights shall accrue under the Company ESPP after such termination. If requested by Parent in writing not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take such actions as are reasonably requested to permit Continuing Employees to participate in the Parent ESPP following the Effective Time, subject to the terms of the Parent ESPP and applicable Law; provided that nothing herein shall obligate Parent to offer participation in the Parent ESPP. Any Shares reserved for issuance under the Company ESPP that are not issued prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be reserved for issuance thereunder. The actions contemplated by this Section 2.06(e) shall be effected in a manner intended to comply with Section 423 of the Code, as applicable.

(f) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or the compensation committee (or equivalent committee) of the Company Board) shall adopt such resolutions as are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.06. As of the Effective Time, each holder of a Company Equity Award shall cease to have any rights with respect to Shares, except as otherwise described in this Section 2.06. The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver Shares or other capital stock of the Company to any person pursuant to or in settlement of any Company Equity Award.

Section 2.07 Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding Shares or Parent Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, consolidation or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.08 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder or beneficial holder that or who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with, and that or who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such Shares, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and shall instead represent the right to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder or beneficial holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses his, her or its right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder or beneficial holder to receive such payment in respect of such Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into and shall be exchangeable solely for the right to receive the Cash Consideration and shall no longer be Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice and copies of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and Actions with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands, approve any withdrawal of any such demands or agree to do any of the foregoing.

As of their respective dates, or, if amended prior to the date hereof, as of the date of the last such amendment, the Company SEC Reports (i) were prepared (and any Company SEC Reports filed after the date hereof will have been prepared), in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as the case may be, and, in each case, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and (ii) did not, at the time they were filed, or, if amended prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such amendment, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of Parent, advise Parent at least on a daily basis on each of the last seven (7) Business Days prior to the date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting as to the aggregate tally of proxies received by the Company with respect to the Company Stockholder Approval.

Without limiting the

generality of the foregoing, if, at the time of the originally scheduled date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, a quorum has not been established or the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Shares for the Company Stockholder Approval, then the Company shall, at the request of Parent (to the extent permitted by Law), adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting to a date specified by Parent; provided that the Company shall not be required pursuant to this sentence to adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting more than two (2) times or for more than twenty (20) Business Days in the aggregate from the originally scheduled date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement, the matters related to this Agreement and the Transactions shall be the only matters that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company agrees that, unless this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Article VIII, the Company’s obligations to hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal or by any Adverse Recommendation Change.

(a) Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable Law or as would be reasonably expected to violate or result in the loss or waiver of any attorney-client (or other legal) privilege, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall (and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to), under the supervision of appropriate personnel of the Company and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the business of the Company Group: (i) provide to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to the Company by Parent, to the officers, employees, agents, properties, offices and other facilities of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and to the books and records thereof and (ii) furnish as promptly as practicable to Parent such information concerning the business, properties, Company Products, Contracts, assets, liabilities, personnel and other aspects of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as Parent or its Representatives may reasonably request; provided that nothing herein shall require the Company to (or cause its Company Subsidiaries to) afford such access or furnish materials provided to the Company Board or resolutions or minutes of the Company Board, in each case, related to or in connection with the Company Board’s consideration of the Merger or to that extent that the Company’s outside legal counsel advising it in writing that there is a material risk that doing so would result in the breach or violation of the provisions of any Contract to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is a party (provided that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain waivers of any such restrictions); provided, further, that if such access or disclosure (A) is prohibited by applicable Law, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such access or disclosure in a manner that does not violate Law or (B) would result in a loss or waiver of such privilege, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that would not result in a loss or waiver of such privilege, including to the extent requested by Parent and if applicable, by entering into a customary joint defense agreement that would alleviate such loss or waiver of privilege.

(b) All information obtained by Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that nothing in the Confidentiality Agreement shall restrict

Parent’s or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub’s ability to take any of the actions expressly contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Parent hereby agree, in accordance with Section 16 of the Confidentiality Agreement, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to have been, and hereby is, amended by the provisions of this Section 6.02(b). If the Effective Time occurs, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(c) Prior to the Closing, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives not to, contact or otherwise communicate with the employees (other than members of the Company’s senior leadership team), customers, suppliers or distributors of the Company and any Company Subsidiaries regarding the business of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that nothing in this Section 6.02(c) shall prevent Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates from contacting or otherwise communicating in the ordinary course of business with such customers, suppliers or distributors so long as such communications do not address or otherwise relate to the Company, any Company Subsidiary or their respective businesses.

(d) No investigation pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party or any condition to the obligations of the parties.

Section 6.03 No Solicitation.

(b) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.03, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company agrees that it shall not and shall cause each Company Subsidiary and any of the officers, directors or employees of it or any Company Subsidiary not to, and shall instruct the other Representatives of the Company not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any inquiries or the implementation or submission of any Acquisition Proposal, or any proposals or offers that would be reasonably expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any non-public information in connection with,

any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute, or would be reasonably expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal except to notify such person of the existence of this Section 6.03(b) and to clarify the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, (iii) otherwise knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiries, proposals or offers that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or (iv) execute or enter into any Acquisition Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may grant a waiver, amendment or release under any confidentiality or standstill agreement existing as of the date of this Agreement, solely to the extent necessary to allow a confidential Acquisition Proposal to be made to the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) so long as (A) the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to grant such waiver, amendment or release would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (B) the Company promptly (and in any event within one (1) calendar day) following the determination of the Company Board as required by the foregoing subclause (A) of this Section 6.03(b) notifies Parent of any such waiver, amendment or release; provided, further, that, prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, nothing contained in this Section 6.03 shall prevent the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) from furnishing information to, or engaging in negotiations or discussions with, any person that has made a bona fide Acquisition Proposal, which Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach (other than a de minimis breach) of this Section 6.03, if, and only if, prior to taking such action referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6.03(b) (except that the Company or its Representatives may notify any person of the existence of this Section 6.03(b) and may clarify the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal), (1) the Company Board (x) determines in good faith (after consultation with its advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal is, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal and (y) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that its failure to take such actions would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (2) the Company provides written notice to Parent of the determination referenced in subclause (1) promptly (and in any event within one (1) calendar day of such determination), and (3) the Company receives or has received from such person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement. The Company shall deliver to Parent a copy of any executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement promptly (and in any event within one (1) calendar day) following its execution. The Company shall provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries provided by the Company or any Company Subsidiary to any person entering into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.03(b) that has not been previously provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such person.

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) calendar day after delivery to the Company) (i) provide Parent written notice of (A) the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal (including any material modification thereto) or (B) any inquiries, proposals or offers received by, or any discussions or negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Representatives of the Company concerning an Acquisition Proposal and (ii) disclose to Parent the identity of such person making, and an unredacted copy of, any such Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry, offer, proposal or request made in writing (or, if made orally, a reasonably detailed description of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, offer, proposal or request). The Company will, promptly upon receipt or delivery thereof (and in any event within one (1) calendar day), provide Parent (and its outside counsel) with copies

of all drafts and final versions of definitive or other agreements including schedules and exhibits thereto (which may be redacted to the extent necessary to protect the confidential information of the person making such Acquisition Proposal) relating to such Acquisition Proposal, in each case exchanged between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the person making such Acquisition Proposal or any of its Representatives, on the other hand. The Company will, in person or by telephone, keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably prompt basis (and in any event within one (1) calendar day of any material development) of the status and details (including with respect to any change in price, any change in the amount or form of consideration, or any other material amendments) of any such Acquisition Proposal or other inquiry, offer, proposal or request concerning an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly, and in any event within one (1) calendar day, following a determination by the Company Board (or any committee thereof) that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, notify Parent of such determination.

(d) Except as expressly set forth in Section 6.03(e), during the Pre-Closing Period, neither the Company nor the Company Board (or any committee thereof), as applicable, shall, and neither shall publicly propose to: (i) withhold, withdraw or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub) the Company Board Recommendation; (ii) approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) enter into any Acquisition Agreement; (iv) submit any Acquisition Proposal or any matter related thereto to the vote of the stockholders of the Company; (v) if an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly disclosed (other than by the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer), refuse to affirm publicly the Company Board Recommendation following any reasonable written request by Parent to provide such reaffirmation within ten (10) Business Days after Parent’s written request therefor (provided that the Company shall not be required to make more than two (2) such reaffirmations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal) or (vi) refrain from recommending against any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement thereof or (vii) authorize, commit, resolve or agree to take any such actions (any such action, other than those set forth in the preceding clause (iii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); provided that neither (A) the determination by the Company in accordance with Section 6.03(b) that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal pursuant to and in compliance with Section 6.03(b) nor (B) the delivery by the Company of the notice with respect to an Acquisition Proposal required by Section 6.03(c), shall constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board (i) may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and cause the Company to terminate this Agreement (by written notice to Parent of such termination in order to enter into, or cause a Company Subsidiary to enter into, an Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (subject to the payment of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.03(b)(iii)), if the Company receives a written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach (other than a de minimis breach) of this Section 6.03 that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors) is a Superior Proposal and determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that its failure to take such actions would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (ii) may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change if an Intervening Event occurs and as a result thereof

the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, in each case, that:

(i) prior to effecting such an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Superior Proposal or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f), (A) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change (which notice shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f), (B) the Company has provided Parent a summary of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, which shall include (at a minimum) all of the information that is specified in Section 6.03(c), (C) if requested to do so by Parent, for a period of four (4) calendar days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith, and shall have made the Representatives of the Company reasonably available to discuss and negotiate in good faith, with Parent and its Representatives, any bona fide proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (D) no earlier than the end of such four (4) calendar day period, the Company Board (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and outside financial advisor), shall have determined in good faith, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent during such four (4) calendar day period, that such Superior Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f) in connection therewith would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any change to the financial or other material terms of a proposal that was previously the subject of a notice hereunder shall require a new notice to Parent as provided above, but with respect to any such subsequent notices references herein to a “four (4) calendar day period” shall be deemed to be references to a “two (2) calendar day period”); and

(ii) prior to effecting such an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to an Intervening Event, (A) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change, describing in reasonable detail the reasons for such Adverse Recommendation Change, (B) if requested to do so by Parent, for a period of four (4) calendar days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith, and shall have made the Representatives of the Company reasonably available to discuss and negotiate in good faith, with Parent and its Representatives any bona fide proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (C) no earlier than the end of such four (4) calendar day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent during such four (4) calendar day period, that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would still be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9, Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or from making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if the Company Board determines (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that its failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that any such action that would otherwise constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in accordance with Section 6.03(e). A factually accurate public statement that describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto (without including a reaffirmation) shall not be deemed an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(g) Except as set forth in Section 8.03(e) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, for purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer from any person or group (other than Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) relating to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions: (A) any direct or indirect acquisition of (1) more than 20% of the assets (whether based on the fair market value, revenue generation or net income) of the Company Group, taken as a whole, including in any such case through the acquisition of one or more Company Subsidiaries owning such assets, or (2) more than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding Shares (or any Equity Interests convertible into, or exchangeable for, such Shares); (B) any tender offer or exchange offer, as defined pursuant to the Exchange Act, that if consummated would result, directly or indirectly, in any person or group beneficially owning twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding Shares; or (C) any merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company which would result in any person or group (or the shareholders of any person or group) beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, more than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding Shares or twenty percent (20%) of the voting power of the surviving entity in a merger involving the Company or the resulting direct or indirect parent of the Company or such surviving entity (or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities representing such voting power). Whenever the term “group” is used in this Agreement, it shall have the definition set forth in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act.

(ii) “Intervening Event” means any material event, circumstance, change, effect, development or condition that (a) was not known to the Company Board prior to the date of this Agreement or, if known, the consequences of which were not reasonably foreseeable by the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement and (b) does not relate to an Acquisition Proposal.

(iii) “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made by any person or group (other than Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) after the date of this Agreement that (A) would result in such person or group (or

in the case of a direct merger between such person and the Company, the shareholders of such person) acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Shares or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company Group, taken as a whole, (B) is on terms that the Company Board determines in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel and after taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal) are more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger and the Transactions (taking into account any bona fide proposed amendment or modification proposed by Parent pursuant to Section 6.03(e)(i)) and (C) the Company Board determines (after receiving the advice of its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel) is reasonably capable of being consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects (including certainty of closing, certainty of financing and the identity of the person making the Acquisition Proposal) of such proposal.

(h) It is understood that for all purposes of this Agreement, in the event that any Representative of the Company Group takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 6.03, such action shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.03 by the Company.

Section 6.04 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries under the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws, and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of each Company Subsidiary and any and all indemnification agreements between the Company or any Company Subsidiary and any of their respective present or former directors and officers (and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any such Company Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”). In addition, the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses than are set forth in the Company Charter or the Company Bylaws, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Parties; provided that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim made for indemnification within such period shall continue until the disposition of such action or resolution of such claim.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any Action (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or relating to any action or omission in their capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, occurring on or before the

Effective Time, and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Surviving Corporation shall pay all expenses of each Indemnified Party in advance of the final disposition of any such Action, subject to receipt of an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined in accordance with applicable Law that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification. In the event of any such Action, (i) subject to the undertaking described in the previous sentence, the Surviving Corporation shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Parties, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Company, promptly after statements therefor are received, (ii) neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Action to which an Indemnified Party is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Action or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter; provided, that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement effected without the Surviving Corporation’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and provided further that, in the event that any claim for indemnification is asserted or made within such six (6)-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of such claim shall continue until the disposition of such claim. The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 6.04(b) shall be in addition to any rights such person may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of the Company and the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries, or under any Law or under any indemnification agreement of any Indemnified Party with the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

(c) The Surviving Corporation shall either (i) cause to be obtained at the Effective Time “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies for claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or prior to the Effective Time or (ii) maintain in effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time, if available, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company; provided that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are substantially similar with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.04(c) more than an amount per year equal to three hundred percent (300%) of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance; provided further that in the event of an expiration, termination or cancellation of such current policies, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be required to obtain as much coverage as is possible under substantially similar policies for such maximum annual amount in aggregate annual premiums.

(d) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates or amalgamates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation, amalgamation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, the proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.04.

(e) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.04.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.04 shall survive the Merger and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their successors, assigns and heirs (each of whom shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.04) and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise. Unless required by applicable Law, this Section 6.04 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Effective Time in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Parties or any of their successors, assigns or heirs without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Parties.

Section 6.05 Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Parent hereby agrees that for a period of one (1) year immediately following the Effective Time (or, with respect to clause (ii) below, if earlier, through December 31, 2027), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to provide each employee of the Company and of each of the Company Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) to the extent such Continuing Employee remains employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries with (i) a base salary or wage rate that are each no less favorable than the base salary or wage rate provided by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) incentive opportunities no less favorable in the aggregate than the incentive opportunities provided by Parent or its Subsidiaries to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries and (iii) employee benefits (including severance but excluding any employee share purchase plan) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided either (A) by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time or (B) by Parent or its Subsidiaries to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries.

(b) Parent shall use reasonable best efforts, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to use reasonable best efforts to, cause Continuing Employees to receive service credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accrual (but excluding benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement, in each case, established or maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries under which each Continuing Employee may be eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time to the same extent recognized by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries under comparable Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit. Such plan, program or arrangement shall credit each Continuing Employee for service accrued or deemed accrued on or prior to the Effective Time with the Company, any Company Subsidiary and all Affiliates where service with the Affiliate was credited under a comparable Plan of the Company prior to the Effective Time. In addition, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any limitations on benefits relating to any pre-existing conditions or waiting periods to the extent such conditions are covered or waiting periods are waived immediately prior to the Effective Time under the applicable Plans and use reasonable best efforts to recognize, for purposes of the annual deductible and

out-of-pocket limits under its medical and dental plans, the deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Continuing Employees in the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(c) If requested by Parent as of at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date (but conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing), the Company shall take all necessary actions to use reasonable best efforts to terminate or cause to be terminated any or all of the Plans sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, provide Parent with evidence that any such requested terminated Plan has been terminated, with the termination of the applicable Plans effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, pursuant to a duly adopted resolution of the Company or its applicable Affiliate (the form and substance of which shall be subject to review and comment by Parent, and the incorporation of such comments shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned) no later than the day immediately preceding the Effective Time.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to be treated as an amendment to any Plan or any employee benefit plan or arrangement of Parent or any of its Affiliates, or to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Employee or Non-Employee Service Provider, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall (i) alter or limit the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them or (ii) create any rights to continued employment or service with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates or in any way limit the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate the employment or service of any Employee or Non-Employee Service Provider at any time and for any reason.

Section 6.06 Regulatory Filings.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, appropriate or desirable to consummate the Transactions, including (i) within twenty (20) Business Days after the date of this Agreement (unless a different date is agreed to by the parties), making or causing to be made all filings and submissions required to be made by Parent, the Company or any of their Affiliates under the HSR Act, and (ii) except as set forth on Section 6.06(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, no later than fifty (50) calendar days following the date of this Agreement (and in any event prior to the expiration of any applicable legal deadline), initiate the required regulatory processes with a view to making or causing to be made all filings and submissions, with prenotification where appropriate, required to be made (including with respect to all Requisite Regulatory Approvals, or otherwise reasonably deemed advisable by Parent to be made, by any party or any of its Affiliates under any other applicable Antitrust Law or any Foreign Investment Law, including in furtherance of or for the purpose of referral of jurisdiction under such Law, as applicable, or other Laws for the consummation of the Transactions) (the “Regulatory Filings”). The parties shall cooperate in good faith with the applicable Governmental Authorities in connection with the Regulatory Filings and submissions and shall, as promptly as practicable, comply with any requests for information, including, if

applicable, requests for the production of documents and the production of witnesses for interviews or depositions by any Governmental Authorities. Parent will pay, or cause its Affiliates to pay, all filing fees required under any Antitrust Law or any Foreign Investment Law for any of the Transactions.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to assist and cooperate with each other in preparing and filing all documents required or reasonably deemed advisable by Parent to be submitted by any of them or their Affiliates to any Governmental Authorities in connection with the Transactions and in obtaining any Governmental Authority waiting period expirations or terminations, consents, waivers, authorizations, clearances or approvals in connection with the Transactions (which assistance and cooperation shall include timely furnishing to the requesting party all information that such party or its counsel reasonably determines is required to be included in such documents or would be helpful in obtaining such required waiting period expirations or terminations, consents, waivers, authorizations, clearances or approvals). Subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.06, Parent shall have the sole right to (i) determine, direct and implement the strategy of the parties for obtaining approvals or expiration or, if applicable, terminations of waiting periods, under the HSR Act, or any other Antitrust Law, Foreign Investment Law, or other Laws applicable to any party or its Affiliates and, in each case, required for the consummation of the Transactions (including the right to direct and unilaterally determine any decision to pull and refile any filing under the HSR Act; provided that any decision to pull and refile any such filing more than once shall require the prior written consent of the Company), and (ii) control the defense and settlement of any Action relating to the Transactions that is brought by or before any Governmental Authority in connection with the Regulatory Filings; provided that Parent shall consult in good faith with the Company, and consider in good faith any suggestions of the Company, with respect to the foregoing matters.

(c) Each of the parties shall promptly inform the other parties of any oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications with, any Governmental Authority regarding any Regulatory Filing or any such transaction and shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on any filing made with, or other material communications submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. Subject to this Section 6.06 and applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each party shall, to the extent practicable, give the other parties reasonable advance notice of all material communications with any Governmental Authority and consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion, proposal or other communication to be made or submitted in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding, and each party shall make reasonable efforts to afford the other parties the opportunity to attend or participate in material conferences, meetings and telephone or other communications between the other parties and Governmental Authorities concerning the Transactions, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority. Materials required to be provided pursuant to this Section 6.06(c) may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements in existence as of the date of this Agreement, (iii) as necessary to address attorney-client or other privilege concerns and (iv) to remove material that is unrelated to the Transactions. Each party, as each reasonably deems advisable, shall be entitled to designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other parties under this Section 6.06 as “Antitrust/FDI Counsel Only Material”. Such materials and the information contained therein

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in connection with any such objection or Action, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, (i) hold separate, sell, license, divest or otherwise dispose of businesses or properties or assets of Parent or any of its Affiliates, (ii) terminate, amend or assign any investments, joint ventures or other similar arrangements of Parent or any of its Affiliates, and (iii) grant any right to, or enter into any contractual or other commercial relationship with, any third party with respect to any assets of Parent or any of its Affiliates; provided that any such actions shall be conditioned upon consummation of the Transactions.

At the request of Parent, the Company shall agree to divest, hold separate or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the businesses, services or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that any such action shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(f) During the Pre-Closing Period, none of Parent or any of its controlled Affiliates shall acquire or agree to acquire any rights, business, person or division thereof (by way

of merger, consolidation, share exchange or other business combination, asset, stock or equity purchase or otherwise) or enter into or agree to enter into any joint venture, collaboration or other similar arrangement, in each case (i) involving thrombectomy or embolization products in the neurovascular or peripheral vascular spaces or access products in the neurovascular space and (ii) if the entry by Parent or any of its controlled Affiliates into an agreement relating to, or the consummation by Parent or any of its controlled Affiliates of, any such transaction or arrangement would reasonably be expected to (1) impose a material delay in the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period or impose a material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, clearance, approval, non-disapproval, declaration or order of a Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Transactions, including receipt of any approvals and expiration of waiting periods pursuant to the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Laws (including those set forth in Section 7.01(c) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule), (2) materially increase the risk of a Governmental Authority enacting, issuing, promulgating, enforcing or entering, or materially increase the risk of not being able to remove or successfully challenge, any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other Order or Law that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit or make illegal the consummation of the Transactions or (3) otherwise materially delay or impede the consummation of the Transactions.

(g) During the Pre-Closing Period, none of the Company Group shall acquire or agree to acquire any rights, business, person or division thereof (by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or other business combination, asset, stock or equity purchase or otherwise) or enter into or agree to enter into any joint venture, collaboration or other similar arrangement, in each case, if the entry by the Company or any other member of the Company Group into an agreement relating to, or the consummation by Company or any other member of the Company Group of, any such transaction or arrangement would reasonably be expected to (1) impose a material delay in the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period or impose a material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, clearance, approval, non-disapproval, declaration or order of a Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Transactions, including receipt of any approvals and expiration of waiting periods pursuant to the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Laws (including those set forth in Section 7.01(c) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule), (2) materially increase the risk of a Governmental Authority enacting, issuing, promulgating, enforcing or entering, or materially increase the risk of not being able to remove or successfully challenge, any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other Order or Law that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit or make illegal the consummation of the Transactions or (3) otherwise materially delay or impede the consummation of the Transactions.

(iii) by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(f), then the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee;

(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent for any reason at a time when Parent or the Company, as applicable, would have had the right to terminate this Agreement under circumstances that would have entitled Parent to the Company Termination Fee or the Company to the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, (i) the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee that Parent would have been (or would have subsequently become) entitled to receive had Parent terminated this Agreement at such time and (ii) Parent shall pay to the Company the Parent Termination Fee that the Company would have been (or would have subsequently become) entitled to receive had the Company terminated this Agreement at such time.

(d) The Company Termination Fee payable by the Company (i) under Section 8.03(b)(iii) shall be paid to Parent or its designee by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds prior to or concurrently with, and as a condition to the effectiveness of, termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(f) and (ii) under Section 8.03(b)(ii) shall be paid to Parent or its designee by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days after the termination of this Agreement by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(e).

(e) For purposes of Section 8.03(b)(i)(2), Acquisition Proposal shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 6.03(g)(i), except that references to twenty percent (20%) in the definition thereof shall be deemed to be references to fifty percent (50%).

Accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as applicable, fails to pay when due any amount pursuant to this Section 8.03, then the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall also (i) reimburse the other party for all reasonable Expenses incurred in connection with the collection of such overdue amount and the enforcement by such other party of its rights under this Section 8.03, and (ii) pay to the other party interest on such overdue amount from the date such payment was required to be paid until (but excluding) the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be paid (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, whether in relation to the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, the “Termination Fee Collection Costs”). In no event shall (A) the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee or (B) Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee, in each case, more than once in connection with the termination of this Agreement or the Transactions.

Section 9.04 Interpretation and Rules of Construction. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Exhibit, an Article or a Section, such reference shall be to an Exhibit, an Article or a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, index of defined terms 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”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “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. Documents, materials and information are deemed to have been “made available” to (i) Parent if such documents, materials or information were available for review by Parent or its Representatives through the electronic data room hosted by Datasite LLC and (ii) the Company if such documents, materials or information were delivered electronically to the Company or its Representatives by Parent or its Representatives in connection with the Transactions or, in either case, disclosed in a Company SEC Report or a Parent SEC Report, as applicable, filed and publicly available at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement. The term “or” is 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 definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. Any agreement, instrument or Law defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or Law as from time to

time amended, modified or supplemented, unless otherwise specifically indicated. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded, and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the immediately following Business Day. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “dollars” and “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. References to “days” shall mean “calendar days” unless expressly stated otherwise. No specific provision, representation or warranty shall limit the applicability of a more general provision, representation or warranty. The phrase “ordinary course of business” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “consistent with past practice” whether or not such words actually follow such phrase. Any reference in this Agreement to a date or time shall be deemed to be such date or time in the City of New York, New York, U.S.A., unless otherwise specified.

Section 9.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.06 Disclaimer of Other Representations and Warranties. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company each acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III (including and as qualified by the Company Disclosure Schedule), with respect to the Company, and Article IV (including and as qualified by the Parent Disclosure Schedule), with respect to Parent, which representations and warranties by the Company and Parent constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company and Parent in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions, (a) no party makes, no party has made, and no party is relying on or has relied on, any representations or warranties relating to itself or its businesses or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions, (b) no person has been authorized by any party to make any representation or warranty relating to such party or its businesses or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions and, if made, such representation or warranty must not be relied upon as having been authorized by such party, and (c) any estimates, projections, predictions, data, financial information, memoranda, presentations or any other materials or information provided or addressed to any party or any of its Representatives, whether received prior to or after the date of this Agreement, are not and shall not be deemed to be or to include representations or warranties (unless such material or information is the subject of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement) and none of Parent or Merger Sub will have any claim against any member of the Company Group, or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders or Representatives, or any other person with respect thereto.

Section 9.07 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, taken together with the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 9.08 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that Parent and Merger Sub may assign all or any of their rights and obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent so long as Parent continues to remain liable for all of such obligations as if no such assignment had occurred. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.09 Parties in Interest. Other than (a) the provisions of Section 6.04 (which is for the benefit of the persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such persons), (b) if the Effective Time occurs, the right of the holders of Company Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Article II and (c) following a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, subject to Section 8.02 and the last sentence of this Section 9.09, the right of the Company, on behalf of the stockholders of the Company (who are third party beneficiaries hereunder solely to the extent necessary for this clause (c) to be enforceable), to pursue damages, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the rights granted pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 9.09 with respect to the recovery of damages based on the losses suffered by the stockholders of the Company shall only be enforceable on behalf of the stockholders of the Company by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, as agent for the stockholders of the Company, it being understood and agreed that any and all interests in the recovery of such losses or any such claim shall attach to and run with the Shares and be transferred therewith.

Section 9.10 Remedies; Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages, except as limited by Section 8.03) to (a) seek an Order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (b) seek an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each party further agrees that no other party or any other person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 9.10, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Section 9.11 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any applicable principles of conflict of laws that would cause the Laws of another jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to otherwise govern this Agreement.

(b) The parties agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transactions (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery; provided, that if the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined exclusively in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Consistent with the preceding sentence, each of the parties hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party; (ii) agrees that service of process will be validly effected by sending notice in accordance with Section 9.02; and (iii) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts. Process in any such Action may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 9.02 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 9.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

Section 9.13 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties by action taken by or on behalf of the Company Board or Parent Board, as applicable, at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, that, after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, no amendment may be made that would reduce the amount or change the type of consideration into which each Share shall be converted upon consummation of the Merger or that would otherwise require the approval of the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties.

Section 9.14 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of any other party or any condition to its own obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

Section 9.15 Disclosure Schedules. The parties agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule (each a “Disclosure Schedule”) shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in each other Section of such Disclosure Schedule to which such information reasonably relates as though fully set forth in such other Section to the extent the applicability and relevance of such information to such other Section is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. Certain items and matters may be listed in a Disclosure Schedule for informational purposes only and may not be required to be listed therein by the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall the listing of items or matters in a Disclosure Schedule be deemed or interpreted to broaden, or otherwise expand the scope of, the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement. The mere inclusion of an item in a Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty (a) shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material event, circumstance, change, effect, development or condition or that such item would constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect and (b) shall not be construed as an admission by the disclosing party of any non-compliance with, or violation of, any third party rights (including any Intellectual Property rights) or any Law or Order of any Governmental Authority, such disclosures having been made solely for the purposes of creating exceptions to the representations made herein or of disclosing any information required to be disclosed under this Agreement. All descriptions of any document included in a Disclosure Schedule do not purport to be a complete statement of the material terms of such document and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such document, including any and all exhibits, annexes, addendums and other documents attached thereto and any amendments, supplements and other modifications thereto, in each case, to the extent made available to the Company or Parent, as applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, no reference to or disclosure of a possible breach or violation of any Contract or agreement, Law or Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

Section 9.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in counterparts, and by the different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
