(B) any cash disbursements required to be made in connection with the Excess Amount (if any) or the release of Working Capital Holdback Cash (if any) with respect to such share of Company Capital Stock to the former holder thereof (based on such holder’s Pro Rata Portion in respect of such share of Company Capital Stock of the released amount), without interest, in accordance with Section 1.17;

(C) any cash disbursements required to be made in connection with the release of any Indemnity Holdback Cash with respect to such share of Company Capital Stock to the former holder thereof (based on such holder’s Pro Rata Portion in respect of such share of Company Capital Stock of the released amount), without interest, in accordance with Section 7.4;

(D) any disbursements of Parent Common Stock to be made in connection with the release of any Indemnity Holdback Shares (if any) with respect to such share of Company Capital Stock to the former holder thereof (based on such holder’s Pro Rata Portion in respect of such share of Company Capital Stock of the released Indemnity Holdback Shares) without interest, in accordance with Section 7.4;

(E) any cash disbursements required to be made from the Expense Fund with respect to such share of Company Capital Stock to the former holder thereof (based on such holder’s Pro Rata Portion in respect of such share of Company Capital Stock of the released amount), without interest, in accordance with Section 9.2(c); and

(F) with respect to any Applicable Milestone Payment, if any, paid in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 1.18 and Schedule 1.18, an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Milestone Payment applicable to such Applicable Milestone Payment, without interest.

(i) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub I, the Company or the Company Optionholders, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1.11 and throughout this Agreement, including the provisions set forth in Article VII, each Company Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled and each Company Option with an Aggregate Option Value greater than zero shall be converted into the right to receive:

(b) The approval and adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Mergers by the Company Stockholders, and the delivery of the Joinder and Lock-Up Agreements by the Company Security Holders, constitute approval by such Company Security Holders, as to the specific terms of the Mergers, and the irrevocable agreement of such Company Security Holders to be bound by, and comply with, this Agreement and all of the arrangements and provisions of this Agreement relating to the matters set forth in this Section 1.12, including Parent’s holdback of the Working Capital Holdback Cash and the Indemnity Holdback subject to the terms and limitations set forth herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Capital Stock, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.9, without interest thereon, and subject to the holdback provisions set forth in Section 1.12.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in negotiations, proceedings and settlements with respect to demands for appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

1.14 Tax Consequences.

(a) The parties to this Agreement intend that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Mergers, taken together, constitute an integrated plan described in Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321 that will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g). Neither any Acquired Company nor Parent shall (and Parent shall not permit any Affiliate of Parent, including any Acquired Company after the Closing, to) knowingly take any action (or fail to take any action) which action (or failure to act) would reasonably be expected to prevent the Mergers from being treated in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment. The parties agree to file all Tax Returns consistent with, and shall not otherwise take any Tax position inconsistent with, the tax treatment set forth in this Section 1.14 unless otherwise required by (a) a change in Law after the date hereof or (b) by a Governmental Entity subsequent to an audit defended in good faith. Except as set forth in Section 3.13(a), Parent makes no representations or warranties to the

(a) At least [*] Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent its good faith calculation of (i) the estimated Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”), (ii) the estimated Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount”), (iii) the estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount”), (iv) the estimated Closing Third Party Expenses (the “Estimated Closing Third Party Expenses”), and (v) the Total Merger Consideration calculated based on such estimated amounts (including the component pieces thereof) (such certification, the “Estimated Closing Statement”), in each case, prepared on a basis consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including definitions contained herein) and the Accounting Principles, and accompanied by reasonably detailed back-up documentation for such calculations to the extent reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. The Company shall reasonably make available to Parent and its Representatives the books and records used in preparing the Estimated Closing Statement and provide reasonable access (on prior notice and during business hours) to employees of the Company as Parent may reasonably request to the extent used in preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement, and will otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith with Parent’s and its Representatives’ review of such statements and shall take into consideration in good faith any reasonable comments of Parent on the Estimated Closing Statement, as applicable. The Estimated Closing Cash Amount, the Estimated Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount, and the Estimated Closing Third Party Expenses set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement will be used for purposes of calculating the Total Merger Consideration at the Closing (which calculation shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 1.17). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any of Parent’s rights be considered waived, impaired or otherwise limited as a result of Parent not making an objection prior to the Closing or its making an objection that is not fully implemented in a revised Estimated Closing Statement, as applicable.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event within [*] days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) that shall set forth a calculation of (i) the Closing Cash Amount, (ii) the Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, (iii) the Closing Indebtedness Amount, (iv) the Closing Third Party Expenses and (v) the Total Merger Consideration, in each case, determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including definitions contained herein) and the Accounting Principles, and accompanied by reasonably detailed back up documentation for such calculations.

(c) During the [*] days immediately following the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Closing Statement (the “Adjustment Review Period”), Parent shall (i) permit the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives to have reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to the books and records of Parent and the Surviving Entity related to Parent’s preparation of the Closing Statement (including the work papers

of Parent and/or its accountants and the work papers of the Surviving Entity and their respective accountants, after signing a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants), (ii) provide the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to Parent’s and its subsidiaries’ (including the Surviving Entity’s) employees and advisors involved in the preparation of the Closing Statement, provided in each case that such access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of Parent and the Surviving Entity and subject to the execution of any access letters, and (iii) cause the Surviving Entity and its Representatives to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Stockholder Representative and its representatives in their reasonable review of the Closing Statement. The Stockholder Representative shall notify Parent in writing (the “Notice of Adjustment Disagreement”) prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period if the Stockholder Representative disagrees with any portion of the Closing Statement. The Notice of Adjustment Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement, the amounts involved and the Stockholder Representative’s proposed adjustments to the Closing Statement with reasonably detailed supporting documentation. If no Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is received by Parent on or prior to the expiration date of the Adjustment Review Period, then the Closing Statement and all amounts set forth therein shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Stockholder Representative and shall become final and binding upon the parties hereto. If the Stockholder Representative delivers a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, then during the [*] days immediately following the delivery of a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement (the “Adjustment Resolution Period”), if any, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall seek in good faith to resolve any disagreement that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement. Any items agreed to by the Stockholder Representative and Parent in writing, together with any items not disputed or objected to by the Stockholder Representative in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Resolved Matters.” If, at the end of the Adjustment Resolution Period, the parties have been unable to resolve any differences they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall refer all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement (the “Unresolved Matters”) to an independent certified public accounting firm in the United States of national recognition mutually agreeable to the Stockholder Representative and Parent (the “Independent Accountant”), which the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to appoint. Within [*] days after the submission of such matters to the Independent Accountant, the Independent Accountant, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, will make a final determination, binding on the parties hereto, of the appropriate amount of each of the Unresolved Matters. With respect to each Unresolved Matter, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either the Stockholder Representative or Parent, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by the Stockholder Representative in the Notice of Adjustment Disagreement or Parent in the Closing Statement with respect to such Unresolved Matter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall not review any line items in the Closing Statement or make any determination with respect to any matter other than the Unresolved Matters. During the review by the Independent Accountant, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall each make available to the Independent Accountant such individuals and such information, books, records, and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accountant to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.17(c); provided, however, that the independent accountants of

Parent or the Company shall not be obligated to make any working papers available to the Independent Accountant unless and until the Independent Accountant has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Parent and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Security Holders) based on the inverse of the percentage that the Independent Accountant’s resolution of the disputed items covered by such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of such disputed items as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant (for example, if the total amount of such disputed items as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant equals $1,000 and the Independent Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Stockholder Representative’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant would be borne by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant would be borne by the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Security Holders)).

(d) The “Final Closing Statement” shall be (i) in the event that no Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period, the Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 1.17(b), (ii) in the event that a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period and that Parent and the Stockholder Representative are able to agree on all matters set forth in such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 1.17(b) as adjusted pursuant to the agreement of Parent and the Stockholder Representative in writing, or (iii) in the event that a Notice of Adjustment Disagreement is delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent prior to the expiration of the Adjustment Review Period and Parent and that the Stockholder Representative are unable to agree on all matters set forth in such Notice of Adjustment Disagreement, the Closing Statement delivered by Parent to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 1.17(b) as adjusted by the Independent Accountant to be consistent with the Resolved Matters and the final determination of the Independent Accountant of the Unresolved Matters in accordance with Section 1.17(c).The date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.17(d) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(e) If the Total Merger Consideration as determined in the Final Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 1.17 is less than the Total Merger Consideration set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement (such difference, the “Deficiency Amount,”), then (i) Parent shall permanently withhold from the Company Security Holders, and the Company Security Holders shall not be entitled to receive, and hereby automatically and with no further action required on their part forever waive and discharge any rights in or to, such Company Security Holder’s Pro Rata Portion of the Working Capital Holdback Cash with an aggregate value equal to the absolute value of the Deficiency Amount, and (ii) solely in the event the Deficiency Amount exceeds the Working Capital Holdback Amount, Parent shall permanently withhold from the Company Security Holders, and the Company Security Holders hereby automatically and with no further action required on their part forever waive and discharge any rights in or to, such Company Security Holder’s Pro Rata Portion of an amount of Indemnity Holdback with an aggregate value equal to such deficiency. Any Deficiency Amount recovered from the Indemnity Holdback shall reduce the amount of the Indemnity Holdback Cash or Indemnity Holdback Shares, as applicable, allocated to each Company Security Holder in accordance with each Company Security Holder’s Pro Rata Portion thereof.

(f) If the Total Merger Consideration as determined in the Final Closing Statement in accordance with this Section 1.17 is more than the Total Merger Consideration set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement (such difference, the “Excess Amount”), then Parent shall promptly (but in all events within [*] Business Days after the Determination Date) cause the Excess Amount to be paid to the Company Security Holders, by paying such Excess Amount to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the applicable Company Security Holders, in each case in accordance with each Company Security Holder’s applicable Pro Rata Portion of such Excess Amount. As a condition to Parent’s and the Paying Agent’s obligation to make such payments, the Stockholder Representative shall first deliver to Parent an updated Spreadsheet setting forth the Pro Rata Portion of the Excess Amount payable to each Company Security Holder.

(g) Following the withholding of any Deficiency Amount by Parent in accordance with Section 1.17(e) or the payment by Parent of any Excess Amount to the Company Security Holders in accordance with Section 1.17(f), Parent shall promptly (and in all events within [*] Business Days thereafter) cause to be delivered to the Company Security Holders the Working Capital Holdback Cash then remaining as of such date that have not previously been withheld by Parent in accordance with Section 1.17(e). Parent shall cause delivery of any such Working Capital Holdback Cash, if any, (x) with respect to Company Stockholders and Company Optionholders holding Non-Employee Options, to the Paying Agent for further distribution to applicable Company Security Holders and (y) with respect to Company Optionholders holding Employee Options, to the applicable Company Optionholders through the payroll processing system of Parent in accordance with standard payroll practices net of applicable Tax withholding and deductions, in each case in accordance with each Company Security Holder’s applicable Pro Rata Portion of such amount. As a condition to Parent’s and the Paying Agent’s obligation to make such payments, the Stockholder Representative shall first deliver to Parent an updated Spreadsheet setting forth the portion of the Working Capital Holdback Cash deliverable to each Company Security Holder.

(h) Parent and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any updated Spreadsheet delivered by the Stockholder Representative, including with respect to whether any individual Company Security Holder received the appropriate portion of any such distribution; provided that such reliance shall not relieve Parent, the Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates of their obligation to pay, in the aggregate, the amounts required to be paid under this Agreement, and Parent, the Surviving Entity and their Affiliates shall remain liable for any Losses arising from their Fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(i) Payments under this Section 1.17 shall be treated by the parties for U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income Tax purposes as a purchase price adjustment unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b) Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that as a condition to Parent’s and the Paying Agent’s obligation to make any distributions or payments pursuant to this Section 1.18 and Schedule 1.18, the Stockholder Representative shall first deliver to Parent an updated Spreadsheet setting forth the amounts distributable or payable to each Company Security Holder in respect of such Applicable Milestone Payment. Parent, the First-Step Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon such updated Spreadsheet delivered by the Stockholder Representative, including with respect to whether any individual Company Security Holder received the appropriate portion of any such distribution, and, in no event will Parent, First-Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates have any liability to any Person on account of payments or distributions made in accordance with such updated Spreadsheet delivered by the Stockholder Representative.

(c) The parties hereto agree to treat the Applicable Milestone Payments received in exchange for Company Capital Stock for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local Tax purposes as contingent adjustments to the consideration for or in respect of the Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Agreement and to treat this Agreement as providing for “fixed consideration” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(e)(2)(iii), and none of the parties hereto will take any position to the contrary on any Tax Return, any other filing with a Governmental Entity related to Taxes or for other Tax purposes except as otherwise required by an applicable Law. A portion of each Applicable Milestone Payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as imputed interest to the extent required under Section 483 of the Code. The parties hereto further agree to treat the Applicable Milestone Payments received in respect of Company Options as wages in the year in which the Applicable Milestone Payment is made for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local Tax purposes, and none of the parties hereto will take any position to the contrary on any Tax Return, any other filing with a Governmental Entity related to Taxes or for other Tax purposes except as otherwise required by an applicable Law.

4.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Preparation of Tax Returns.

(i) The Acquired Companies shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by the Acquired Companies (taking into account any extension properly obtained) on or before the Closing Date. The Acquired Companies shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes reported on such Tax Returns that

are required to be paid. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Acquired Companies with respect to such items, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. At least [*] days prior to filing any such Tax Return that is an income or other material Tax Return, the Acquired Companies shall submit a copy of each such Tax Return to Parent for Parent’s review and comment and shall consider in good faith such reasonable revisions to such Tax Returns as are requested by Parent.

(ii) Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns for any Acquired Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (the “Parent Prepared Returns”). All such Parent Prepared Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company’s past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. At least [*] days prior to filing any Parent Prepared Return that reports Taxes that could be subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or which could reduce the amount of Total Merger Consideration paid to the Company Security Holders, Parent shall submit a copy of each such Tax Return to the Stockholder Representative for the Stockholder Representative’s review and comment and shall consider in good faith such reasonable revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Stockholder Representative. To the extent permitted by applicable Law at a “more likely than not” or a higher level of confidence, any Transaction Tax Deductions shall be reported as attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date.

(b) Cooperation. Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to any Acquired Company or its operations and any pending or threatened audit, Legal Proceedings or assessments with respect thereto or to Taxes owed by any Acquired Company. Such cooperation shall include Parent’s retention and provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit or other Legal Proceedings and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or Stockholder Representative be entitled to review or otherwise have access to any income Tax Return, or information related thereto, of Parent or its Affiliates (other than (i) income Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, as provided in Section 4.2(a)(ii)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative shall have no obligation to prepare or file any Tax Returns.

(c) Tax Contests. Parent shall notify the Stockholder Representative in writing within [*] days after the receipt of any notice of any audit, examination, or other Legal Proceeding with respect to Taxes with respect to any Acquired Company in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period or for which the Company Security Holders could reasonably be expected to be responsible for any indemnification obligation pursuant to this Agreement (a “Tax Contest”); provided, however, no failure or delay of Parent in providing such notice shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company Security Holders pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that the Company Security Holders are materially and adversely prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay. Parent shall control any Tax Contest; provided, however, if a Tax Contest relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period which may result in a Tax for which the Company Security Holders may be liable, (i) Parent shall keep the Stockholder Representative reasonably informed regarding the

status of such Tax Contest, and (ii) the Stockholder Representative shall have the right to participate in (at the expense of the Company Security Holders), but not control, such Tax Contest (and Parent shall consider in good faith any comments made by the Stockholder Representative with respect thereto). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any conflict arises between the provisions of this Section 4.2(c) and the provisions of Section 7.4(a), the provisions of this Section 4.2(c) shall govern.

(d) Transfer Taxes. Any Transfer Taxes shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Company Security Holders and fifty percent (50%) by Parent (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that any Transfer Taxes included in Third Party Expenses shall be treated as borne by the Company Security Holders), and the party required by applicable Law to do so shall file any necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any such Transfer Taxes, and the other party or parties shall cooperate in such filing as reasonably requested.

(e) Apportionment of Straddle Period Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period relating to the Acquired Companies, the First-Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, (i) the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts or payroll of the Acquired Companies for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided that, in determining such amount, exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on a periodic basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, shall be taken into account on a pro-rated basis in the manner described in clause (ii) below, and (ii) the amount of other Taxes of the Acquired Companies that relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is number of days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(f) Refunds. The Company Security Holders shall be entitled to any refunds (including any credits in lieu thereof and interest paid thereon) of Pre-Closing Taxes or any Taxes of an Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (determined in a manner consistent with Section 4.2(e)) that are actually received in cash or reduce cash Taxes payable by Parent or its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) after the Closing, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket cost (including Taxes) to Parent or its Affiliates attributable to the obtaining and receipt of such refund, except to the extent such refund arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other tax benefit from a Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or such refund was included as an offset to any Tax liabilities included in the calculation of Total Merger Consideration, as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.17 (the “Tax Refunds”). Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company Security Holders any such Tax Refund within [*] days after receipt thereof. To the extent such refund is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Governmental Entity, the Company Security Holders agree promptly to repay the amount of such refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Governmental Entity to Parent.

(g) Post-Closing Tax Action.

Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) make, change or revoke any Tax election or accounting method of any Acquired Company that would have effect in any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iii) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Tax of any Acquired Company related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) make any “voluntary disclosure” or initiate any similar proceeding with respect to any Tax matter of any Acquired Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (v) file Tax Returns of any Acquired Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period in a manner inconsistent with past practice or in a jurisdiction where any Acquired Company has not historically filed Tax Returns or (vi) take any action or enter into any transaction after the Closing on, or effective as of, the Closing Date that is outside the ordinary course of business with respect to any Acquired Company, provided the foregoing limitations shall only apply to the extent such action described in this Section 4.2(g) could have the effect of causing the Company Security Holders to have an indemnification obligation for Taxes under Section 7.2 or reducing any amount payable to the Company Security Holders under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no election under Section 338 or 336 of the Code will be filed with respect to the Mergers.

(a) The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act (by reason of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rules 504 or 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) and/or another exemption and therefore may not be re-offered or resold other than in conformity with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other applicable rules and regulations or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act, and may not be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect thereto is effective under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities Laws or (ii) an exemption from such registration exists. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued in connection with this Agreement shall bear a legend or legends referencing restrictions applicable to such shares under applicable securities Laws and under this Agreement.

(b) Parent shall (i) prepare a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not available to Parent, another appropriate form (including any amendments or supplements, the “Registration Statement”) and the prospectus (including any amendments or supplements, the “Prospectus”) forming part of the Registration Statement in compliance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act covering the resale on a continuous basis of all of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to Company Security Holders pursuant to this Agreement (the “Registrable Securities”) from time to time after the expiration of the lock-up terms and conditions set forth in such Company Security Holder’s respective Joinder and Lock-Up Agreement, by and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to the applicable Company Security Holders and (ii) submit such Registration Statement to the Company (if prior to Closing) or the Stockholder Representative (if after the Closing) at least [*] Business Days prior to filing, for the Company’s (if prior to Closing) or Stockholder Representative’s (if after the Closing) review and shall consider any reasonable comments of the Company or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, on such Registration Statement, provided that such comments are provided to Parent no later than [*] Business Days of receipt of such Registration Statement.

(c) Promptly (and in any event within [*] days) following the Closing Date, Parent shall file with the SEC the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement). Such Registration Statement may be an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined pursuant to Rule 462(e) if Parent so qualifies, and to the extent Parent does not so qualify or if Parent, in Parent’s sole discretion, determines not to file a Registration Statement that is deemed an “automatic shelf registration statement,” Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such Registration Statement is filed with the SEC. Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholder Representative of the filing, of any request for additional information from the SEC and when the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective.

(d) Parent shall use reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered thereby have been sold or disposed of pursuant to such Registration Statement or otherwise in a transaction registered under the Securities Act, (ii) such time as the applicable Company Security Holders are otherwise permitted to resell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale limitations and without the requirement for current public information, as determined by the counsel to Parent pursuant to a written instruction letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Parent’s transfer agent, or (iii) [*] after the Effective Time (subject to extension by mutual agreement if required by the SEC to permit completion of resales).

(e) In order to ensure compliance with the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.4 and the Joinder and Lock-Up Agreement, each Company Security Holder receiving Registrable Securities shall agree that Parent may issue appropriate “stop transfer” certificates or instructions. Parent may cause the legend set forth below related to the Securities Act (the “Securities Act Legend”) and the legend set forth below related to the lock-up restrictions set forth in the Joinder and Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Legend”), or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) or other documents or instruments evidencing ownership of such applicable Company Security Holder’s Per Share Stock Consideration:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT

BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,

AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES

LAWS. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR

INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO RESALE IN

CONNECTION WITH A DISTRIBUTION AND MAY NOT BE

SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT

TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR

SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,

AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES

LAWS, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER

SUCH ACT.”

Parent will promptly take such action reasonably requested by a Company Security Holder to remove the “stop transfer” certificates or instructions related to the Securities Act and/or the Securities Act Legend from the certificates or book entry statements evidencing the Registrable Securities held by such Company Security Holder following the earliest to occur of: (i) expiration of the date that is one year after the Effective Time; (ii) any sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (iii) effectiveness under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement; and (iv) provided that such Company Security Holder has first delivered to the Company representations and undertakings from such Company Security Holder and its broker in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the date such Registrable Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without regard to volume or manner of sale limitations required pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) of Rule 144.

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE LOCK-UP TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE JOINDER AND LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [•], 2025, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE ISSUER OR FROM THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES WILL BE MADE ON THE BOOKS OF THE ISSUER UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH AGREEMENT.”

(f) Following expiration of the applicable lock-up period set forth in the Joinder and Lock-Up Agreement, Parent shall promptly take such action reasonably requested by a Company Security Holder to remove the “stop transfer” certificates or instructions related to the lock-up restrictions set forth in the Joinder and Lock-Up Agreement and/or the Lock-Up Legend with respect to the Registrable Securities issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that are no longer subject to the lock-up restrictions set forth in the Joinder and Lock-Up Agreement.

(g) With a view to making available to the Company Security Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) that permit Company Security Holders to sell Parent Common Stock to the public without registration, Parent agrees, for a period of one year from the Effective Time, to:

(i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Parent under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as Parent remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents as may be required pursuant to the applicable provisions of Rule 144.

(h) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Parent to take any action pursuant to Section 4.4(b)-(d) with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Company Security Holder that such Company Security Holder receiving Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement furnish to Parent not less than [*] Business Days prior to the date of filing the Registration Statement such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Company Security Holders’ Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, completing, executing and delivering to Parent (or causing to be delivered to Parent) the questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit J (the “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”). Each Company Security Holder covenants and agrees that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by such Company Security Holder for inclusion in the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, the information supplied in its Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, will at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Parent shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement for any Company Security Holder that has not provided such Selling Stockholder Questionnaire.

(i) All required stock transfer taxes and all fees and expenses of legal counsel for any Company Security Holder relating to the sale of securities registered by or on behalf of the Company Security Holders shall be borne by such Company Security Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the Company Security Holders for up to $[*] of reasonable expenses incurred by one designated legal counsel in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement.

4.5 Listing. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall file a Listing of Additional Shares notification form with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC for the listing of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to Company Security Holders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

4.6 Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the Company.

(a) During the period ending [*] years after the Effective Time, the First-Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or their respective successors shall, and Parent shall cause the First-Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or their respective successors to, fulfill their obligations to the present and former members of the Board and present and former officers of the Company (such directors and officers being herein called the “Company Indemnitees”) pursuant to the terms of, the Charter Documents and the indemnification agreements listed in Schedule D (the “Indemnification Schedule”) as in effect on the date hereof (such obligations, collectively, the “D&O Indemnifiable Matters”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of Parent and the First-Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or their respective successors in respect of the D&O Indemnifiable Matters (i) shall be subject to any

limitation imposed by applicable Law, the terms of the Charter Documents and the terms of the applicable indemnification agreement and (ii) shall not be deemed to release any Company Indemnitee who is also an officer or director of the Company from his or her obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any Related Agreement to which he or she is party.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense (and such expense shall be included in Third Party Expenses of the Company) an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that shall provide the Company Indemnitees with coverage for [*] years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not materially less favorable to the insured persons than the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company (the “D&O Tail Policy”). Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to maintain the D&O Tail Policy in full force and effect and continue to honor the obligations thereunder for [*] years following the Closing. At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide a copy of the D&O Tail Policy to Parent, along with written confirmation from the insurance provider that the D&O Tail Policy will be bound at Closing.

(c) In the event that the First-Step Surviving Corporation or Surviving Entity or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer or convey all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors or assigns of the First-Step Surviving Corporation or Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 4.6.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations under this Section 4.6 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Company Indemnitee to whom this Section 4.6 applies without the consent of such affected Company Indemnitee, it being understood and agreed that the Company Indemnitees are intended to be express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, if any Representative of the Acquired Companies, in his, her or its capacity as such, takes any action or fails to take any action that any Acquired Company is obligated pursuant to this Section 5.3 to take or not to take, then the Company shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have breached this Section 5.3.

(b) The Company shall immediately (but in any event, within [*]) notify Parent orally and in writing after receipt by the Company (or, to the Knowledge of the Company, by any of its Representatives), of (i) any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) any request for non-public information relating to the Acquired Companies or for access to any of the properties, books or records of the Acquired Companies by any Person or Persons other than Parent, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives. Such notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer, notice or request; provided, that the Company shall endeavor in good faith to provide as much information as possible pursuant to the terms of such existing agreement; provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to disclose the identity of such Person to the extent the Company is subject to confidentiality obligations as of the Agreement Date that would prohibit such disclosure.

5.4 Access to Information.

(a) During the Interim Period, the Company shall afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during business hours to (A) the Acquired Companies’ properties, personnel, books, Contracts and records and (B) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of the Acquired Companies as Parent may reasonably request. Any such access and examination will be conducted upon reasonable prior notice during regular business hours and under reasonable circumstances and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Acquired Companies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such access or examination will be permitted to the extent that it would require the Acquired Companies to disclose information subject to attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, the common interest/joint defense privilege or any other legal privilege, or where such disclosure would reasonably be expected to result in a waiver of any such privilege, solely to the extent that the disclosure of such information would, in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Company’s outside counsel, violate such attorney-client privilege or other applicable privilege; provided, however, the Company will promptly notify Parent of such circumstance and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek alternative means to disclose such information as completely as possible without adversely affecting such attorney-client privilege or other applicable privilege (which may include provision of redacted materials, summaries, or observation rights, in each case without waiving any privilege). In addition, the Company shall have no obligation to provide access to information prepared for, or in connection with, any pending, threatened or contemplated litigation, arbitration or other adversarial proceeding between the parties to this Agreement (including Parent, the Company and the Stockholder Representative). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no obligation to create, compile or furnish any reports, analyses, summaries or other information that the Acquired Companies do not prepare in the ordinary course of business.

(b) Subject to compliance with applicable Law, during the Interim Period, the Company shall confer from time to time as reasonably requested by Parent with one or more Representatives of Parent to discuss any material changes or developments in the operational matters of the Company and the general status of the ongoing operations of the Acquired Companies.

(c) The information provided pursuant to this Section 5.4 will be governed by the Confidentiality Agreement, the confidentiality terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

(d) No information obtained by Parent or the Company during the pendency of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, obligation or condition set forth herein.

(a) No later than [*] days prior to the Closing, the Company shall secure from each Person whom the Company and Parent reasonably believes is, with respect to the Company, a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), as determined immediately prior to the initiation of the solicitation described in Section 5.7(b), and has a right to any payments or benefits or potential rights to any payments or benefits (including, without limitation, under any Company Employee Plan) that could be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) a waiver (a “280G Waiver”), in a form acceptable to Parent, of each such Person’s rights to all such parachute payments that are equal to or in excess of three times such Person’s “base amount” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) less one dollar (the “Waived 280G Benefits”), prior to taking any of the actions described in Section 5.7(a).

No later than [*] days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that a Company Stockholder vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and that either (i) the requisite Company Stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments or benefits that were subject to the Company Stockholder vote (the “280G Approval”) or (ii) that the 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, that such “parachute payments” shall not be made or provided, pursuant to the waivers of those payments or benefits which were executed by the affected individuals on the date of this Agreement.

5.8 Confidentiality. Each of the parties hereto (other than the Stockholder Representative) hereby agrees that the information obtained in any investigation pursuant to Section 5.4, or pursuant to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or the effectuation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or, if applicable, in connection with any Legal Proceedings, shall be governed by the terms of the Mutual Confidentiality Disclosure Agreement dated as of November 11, 2024 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”)between the Company and Parent until the Closing. The Stockholder Representative agrees to keep confidential all information received from Parent, the First-Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity after the Closing in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that following the Closing, the Stockholder Representative shall be permitted to disclose information as required by law or to employees, advisors, agents or consultants of the Stockholder Representative, including the Advisory Group (as defined below), and to the Company Stockholders, in each case who have a need to know such information, provided that such persons are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect thereto.

5.9 Public Disclosure. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall issue a press release announcing the parties’ entry into this Agreement and transactions contemplated hereby (the “Press Release”).

its Representatives that are bound by confidentiality restrictions) regarding the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, if applicable, the termination of this Agreement and the reasons therefor or any Legal Proceedings, without the prior written consent of Parent (email being sufficient) (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except, that the Company may issue such public statements (a) to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable Law, in which case the Company shall promptly notify Parent and cooperate with Parent to the extent reasonably practicable so as to seek to limit the information disclosed to the information it is advised by counsel is required by such applicable Law to be disclosed and shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and at Parent’s cost and expense, seek to obtain a protective Order over, or confidential treatment of such information, and (b) to the extent reasonably required to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval or other consents or approvals required by this Agreement to be obtained.

Parent and the Company shall coordinate, cooperate and consult with each other with respect to strategy, arguments, communications or positions to be taken in connection with any investigation, inquiry, litigation or action by or before any Governmental Entity relating to any transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Neither party shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Entity to enter into any timing agreement, to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Law, pull and refile under the HSR Act, or agree not to consummate the transactions contemplated herein for any period of time, without the prior written consent of the other.

(b) Parent shall cause each Continuing Employee to be credited for any service for purposes of eligibility to participate, level of paid time off and vesting of defined contribution retirement benefits under any benefit plan or program maintained by Parent or its Affiliates for the Continuing Employees on or after the Closing Date (but other than any defined benefit, nonqualified deferred compensation or post-termination welfare plans or arrangements) (the “New Plans”) [*]. In addition, Parent hereby agrees that Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, for the plan year in which the Closing occurs: (A) cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusion and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements applicable to Continuing Employees under any New Plans that are group health benefit plans to the extent waived or satisfied by such Continuing Employee under any comparable Company Employee Plan as of the Closing Date and (B) cause any deductible, co-insurance and out-of-pocket covered expenses paid on or before the Closing Date by any Continuing Employee (or covered dependent thereof) and credited to such person to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable such New Plan.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.11 shall (i) constitute an establishment, amendment, modification or termination of any Company Employee Plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, contract, agreement or arrangement, (ii) prohibit or limit the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Company Employee Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, contract, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by it, (iii) confer upon any Person any right to employment or service or any term or condition of employment or service or restrict the ability following the Closing of Parent or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment or service of any Person at any time and for any or no reason, or (iv) confer any rights or remedies (including any third party beneficiary rights) on any Person not a party.

5.12 Termination of 401(k) Plan. If Parent shall so request in writing at least [*] Business Days prior to the Closing Date, effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate any and all plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each, a “401(k) Plan”), provided, that with respect to any 401(k) Plan that is a PEO Plan, the Company shall, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, (i) withdraw participation in such PEO Plan, (ii) spin off the portion of the 401(k) Plan attributable to the Company to a separate Company 401(k) Plan (the “Spinoff Plan”), and (iii) terminate the Spinoff Plan. The Company shall provide Parent with evidence, no later than [*] days prior to the Closing Date, that each 401(k) Plan or PEO Plan has been so

terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Board. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating or withdrawing from each 401(k) Plan as Parent may reasonably require, including notification to the professional employer organization or multiple employer plan sponsor and administrator, as applicable.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents, waivers and approvals of any parties to each of the Contracts listed on Schedule B as are required thereunder in connection with the Mergers or for any such Contracts to remain in full force and effect so as to preserve all rights of, and benefits to, the Company under such Contract as of immediately after the Effective Time. Such consents, waivers and approvals shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent. Promptly after the Agreement Date, the Company shall have sent each of the notices required in connection with the Mergers pursuant to the Contracts set forth in Schedule B attached hereto (the “Notices”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the Agreement Date and through the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to work with and support in good faith the Company’s efforts to obtain the necessary consents, waivers or approvals of the non-Company counterparty to the Contract listed on Part One of Schedule C attached hereto (such counterparty, the “Contract Party”), including by promptly furnishing customary and publicly available financial and other information reasonably requested by the Contract Party (subject to customary confidentiality protections), executing and delivering customary counterpart documents or acknowledgments that do not expand Parent’s obligations under this Agreement, and participating in meetings or discussions directly with the Contract Party as reasonably requested by the Company or the Contract Party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.13 shall require the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates to (a) agree to any amendment or modification to any Contract, or to any term, condition, commitment, divestiture, limitation, or other undertaking that would, individually or in the aggregate, be materially adverse to Parent or its Affiliates, or (b) commence or defend any litigation.

5.14 Terminated Agreements. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause each of the Terminated Agreements to be terminated, effective as of and contingent upon the Closing, including by sending all required notices, such that each such agreement shall be of no further force or effect immediately following the Effective Time.

5.15 Expenses.

5.17 Closing Deliverables and Actions. The Company shall use [*] to cause (a) the Joinder and Lock-Up Agreements and Suitability Documentation to be executed by each of the Company Security Holders and (b) the Option Release Agreements, in each case substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Option Release Agreements”) by each of the Option Release Individuals; provided, however, that (i) the failure of one or more Company Security Holders or Option Release Individuals to execute or deliver any Joinder and Lock-Up Agreement or Suitability Documentation or Option Release Agreement, as applicable, shall not constitute a condition to Closing or otherwise delay, prevent or be deemed to fail any Closing condition, so long as the Company has delivered or caused to be delivered from the Company Stockholders representing, in the aggregate, at least [*] of the outstanding number of shares of Company Capital Stock (on an as-converted to Company Common Stock basis) deliver duly executed Joinder and Lock-Up Agreements in accordance with Section 1.4(b)(ix), and (ii) the execution and delivery of an Option Release Agreement shall be a condition to Parent’s obligation to pay the applicable amount owed thereunder to the applicable Option Release Individual.

5.18 Non-Continuing Employees.

With respect to the Specified Non-Continuing Employee, the Company shall pay all earned and accrued wages, compensation, and other entitlements under any Company Employee Plan, Employee Agreement, and other benefits or employee-related plans, policies, and agreements, including the payment of accrued or other vacation benefits, termination costs, severance pay, notice pay, and any other related obligations or liabilities owed by the Company to the Specified Non-Continuing Employee, make all contributions, payments, and remittances to any Governmental Entity required under any applicable Laws, and make all corresponding Tax payments and remittances related thereto (all such amounts other than the applicable aggregate consideration associated with vesting acceleration owed pursuant to Section 1.9(b), collectively, the “Specified Non-Continuing Employee Amount”). The Company shall be responsible for, and the definition of Third Party Expenses shall be deemed to include, (x) all costs and expenses incurred and unpaid as of immediately prior to the Closing, in connection with the termination of the employment, service or engagement of the Specified Non-Continuing Employee (including any such costs and expenses incurred and unpaid as of immediately prior to the Closing, in connection with the termination of the employment or engagement of the Specified Non-Continuing Employee employed or engaged via a professional employer organization or other entity), and (y) all Losses paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by any of the Indemnified Parties, related to, resulting from or arising out of the Specified Non-Continuing Employee.

Parent shall deliver all such Related Agreements that are identified in this Agreement as a closing deliverable of Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II on or prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Related Agreements. The Company shall have received duly executed counterparts by Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II of each of the Related Agreements to which Parent, Merger Sub I, and Merger Sub II are a party.

ARTICLE VII

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION; HOLDBACK

7.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and in the Certificates shall survive from and after the Closing Date until the date that is [*] following the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”); provided, however, that in the event of Fraud with respect to a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in the Certificates, as applicable, such representation or warranty, and the right to assert such a claim, shall not terminate on the Survival Date, but shall survive until [*]; provided, further, that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.8 (Tax Matters) shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto, until [*], (ii) the Fundamental Representations shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto, until the date that is [*], and (iii) the IP Representations shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto, until the date that is [*]; provided, further, if an Indemnification Claim Notice or Third Party Notice is delivered under, and in accordance with, this Article VII with respect to any representation or warranty prior to the applicable expiration date, such claim shall be preserved until such claim is finally resolved. The representations and

warranties of Parent and Merger Subs set forth in this Agreement shall terminate at the Effective Time; provided that in the event of Fraud with respect to a representation or warranty contained in Article IV or in the Parent Certificate, as applicable, such representation or warranty, and the right to assert such a claim, shall survive for [*] months following the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements of the Company that by their terms are to be performed or complied with at or prior to the Closing, and the right of any Indemnified Party to assert a claim for indemnification hereunder with respect thereto, shall survive until the date that is [*] following the Closing Date; provided, however, if an Indemnification Claim Notice or Third Party Notice is delivered under, and in accordance with, this Article VII with respect to any such covenant prior to the applicable expiration date, such claim shall be preserved until such claim is finally resolved. Each other covenant and agreement of any party herein shall survive until fully performed in accordance with its terms. The obligations of the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Sections 7.2(a)(iii) through Section 7.2(a)(ix), and the Indemnified Parties’ right to assert claims with respect thereto, shall survive until [*]. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent applicable, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties and covenants and the right to make indemnification claims in respect thereof under this Agreement, and the Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties hereby waive any claims or defenses based on the statute of limitations to the extent inconsistent with the survival periods set forth herein. The survival periods set forth herein are an integral part of this Agreement, and the Company Security Holders and the Company are entering into this Agreement in reliance upon the strict application of such survival periods.

7.2 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the consummation of the First Merger, the Company Security Holders, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Indemnifying Party” and, collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”), shall, severally and not jointly, in accordance with each Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Portion, indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates, including the First-Step Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity (the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Losses, incurred, suffered or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, or any of them, arising out of or resulting from any of the following:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in, or failure to be true of any representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement or the Certificates, as of the Agreement Date or as of the Closing Date as if made as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and warranties which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, in which case on and as of such specified date or dates), provided, that all materiality qualifications (such as “material” and “Material Adverse Effect”, other than the use of the word “material” in the defined terms “Material Contracts”, “Key Suppliers”, and whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred in Section 2.7(b) of the Agreement) in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded for the purposes of this Section 7.2(a)(i).

(ii) any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement applicable to it contained in this Agreement that is to be performed by it prior to or at Closing;

(iii) any inaccuracy in of any information set forth in the Spreadsheet, other than any inaccuracies with respect to the items set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement to the extent not taken into account in the Final Closing Statement, or any claim by or on behalf of any Person asserting, alleging or seeking to assert that such Person is a Company Security Holder entitled in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to receive any amounts in excess of the amounts indicated on the Spreadsheet or amounts not otherwise set forth on the Spreadsheet;

(iv) any Legal Proceeding by or on behalf of any current or former Company Security Holder or any Person alleging to be a current or former Company Security Holder (or, with respect to any of the foregoing, any of his, her, their or its respective Affiliates, successors and assigns) regarding this Agreement or the Mergers, including for any claims for breach of a fiduciary duty by the Board relating to this Agreement, any claims relating to the allocation of consideration hereunder and any claims by or payments to an Option Release Individual with respect to the grant, failure to grant, promise to grant, or inadequacy of the payment payable to such Option Release Individual with respect to any Company Option or any other equity award to purchase or receive shares of Company Capital Stock, or other securities of the Company that has not been issued by the Company to such Option Release Individual prior to the Closing Date;

(v) any claims by any Company Indemnitees in respect of D&O Indemnifiable Matters that are not otherwise fully covered by the D&O Tail Policy;

(vi) any liabilities relating or arising out of any “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code;

(vii) any Fraud by or on behalf of the Company in connection with this Agreement;

(viii) any Pre-Closing Taxes, Closing Third Party Expenses, Closing Indebtedness or current liabilities of the Company on a consolidated basis as of immediately prior to the Closing, in each case, to the extent not taken into account in the Final Closing Statement; and

(ix) any payment in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement, and any other Losses in respect of any Dissenting Shares, including all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending against or settling any action or proceeding in respect of Dissenting Shares.

(b) The rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Losses or any other remedy under this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any other matter. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of

100

or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Losses, or any other remedy under this Agreement based on any such waived representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Except with respect to an indemnification claim for Fraud (to the extent required under Delaware law), no Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of any party to any Related Agreement to pursue remedies under such Related Agreement against any other party thereto with respect to any breaches of such Related Agreement by such other party.

(c) The Indemnifying Parties shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Company, the First-Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or Parent in their capacity as Company Stockholders or Company Optionholders with respect to any Loss claimed by an Indemnified Party against such Indemnifying Party that is finally determined to be indemnifiable hereunder.

7.3 Certain Limitations.

(a) Except in the case of Fraud and indemnification claims related to any breach of or inaccuracy in any Fundamental Representation, no Indemnified Party may recover Losses pursuant to an indemnification claim under Section 7.2(a)(i) unless and until the Indemnified Parties, as a group, shall have paid, incurred, suffered or sustained at least $[*]in Losses in the aggregate (the “Deductible Amount”), at which time the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover in accordance with this Agreement all Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount; provided that no recovery shall be permitted for any individual claim for Losses, and no such claim for Losses shall be counted towards the satisfaction of the Deductible Amount, that is less than $[*].

(b) Except in the case of Fraud or indemnification claims related to any breach or inaccuracy of the Fundamental Representations, the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.8 (Tax Matters) or the IP Representations, the Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive source of recovery for indemnification claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) shall be recourse against the Indemnity Holdback Amount.

(c) Except in the case of Fraud or indemnification claims related to any breach or inaccuracy of the Fundamental Representations or the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.8 (Tax Matters), in no event shall the maximum recovery by the Indemnified Parties for all indemnification claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) related to any breach of or inaccuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties (including the IP Representations) exceed an amount equal to $[*].

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate liability of any Indemnifying Party for all indemnification claims under this Agreement exceed the portion of the Total Merger Consideration and any Applicable Milestone Payments actually received by such Indemnifying Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any portion of the Working Capital Holdback Amount, Indemnity Holdback Amount and Expense Fund permanently retained, or recovered, by Parent), unless such indemnity claim is being made in respect of Fraud committed by such Indemnifying Party (in which event there shall be no limitation on the liability of such Indemnifying Party hereunder with respect to such Fraud). In no event shall any Indemnifying Party have any liability for any Fraud committed solely by any other Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties.

101

(e) Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.3(a) and 7.3(b), the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to bring indemnification claims directly against the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to the claims procedures in Section 7.4, provided that any Losses with respect to such claims shall first be recovered from the Indemnity Holdback Amount, to the extent available.

(f) The amount of any Losses that are subject to indemnification under this Article VII shall be calculated net of the amount of any insurance proceeds, indemnification payments or reimbursements (contractual or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Parties from third parties (other than the Indemnifying Parties) in respect of such Losses (net of any costs or expenses incurred in obtaining such insurance, indemnification or reimbursement, including any increases in insurance premiums or retro-premium adjustments resulting from such recovery) (collectively, “Alternative Arrangements”); provided that, in the event any Indemnified Party first recovers against any Indemnifying Party for any Losses and thereafter recovers payment for the same Losses pursuant to any Alternative Arrangements, then such Indemnified Party shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, reimburse such Indemnifying Party to the extent of such reduction in Losses for which such Indemnified Party was indemnified prior to the realization of reduction of such Losses (net of reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket direct collection expenses); provided further, that, except for the following sentence, nothing in this Section 7.3(f) shall be construed as or give rise to an obligation to seek any such insurance, indemnification or reimbursement. The Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to first seek recovery under the D&O Tail Policy with respect to any applicable Losses prior to bringing any claims pursuant to this Article VII.

(g) The amount of any Losses that are subject to indemnification under this Article VII shall be net of any Tax Benefit realized by the Indemnified Parties or their Affiliates arising from the incurrence or payment of any such Losses. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Tax Benefit” shall mean any reduction in the cash Taxes payable by the Indemnified Parties or their Affiliates in any taxable period ending on or before or including the day that is [*] years after the relevant damages are paid or incurred, measured on a “with and without” basis. In the event any Indemnified Party realizes any Tax Benefit subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party that was not previously taken into account in calculating the amount of the indemnification payment, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Parties the amount (as computed pursuant to this Section 7.3(g)) by which the relevant indemnification payment would have been reduced had the relevant Tax Benefit been realized prior to the time the applicable indemnification payment was made. Parent and Company Security Holders agree to use (and cause their Affiliates to use) commercially reasonable efforts to realize any Tax Benefit described in this Section 7.3(g).

(h) For purposes of determining the maximum liability under this Article VII of a particular Indemnifying Party who receives shares of Parent Common Stock in the First Merger, the shares of Parent Common Stock received by such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Parent Common Stock Value.

102

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, any Losses for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery due to the facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or other indemnifiable matter under Section 7.2. The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement with respect to any amount or item to the extent such amount or item was actually included in the calculation of the Total Merger Consideration as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.17.

(j) Parent and Merger Subs acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for the Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein, for any of the other matters set forth in Section 7.2, or otherwise resulting from or arising out of this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby will be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII; provided, that the foregoing clause of this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of (i) any right to specific performance or injunctive relief, (ii) any right or remedy of a party under any Related Agreement to which it is party, or (iii) any right or remedy against a particular Indemnifying Party with respect to such Indemnifying Party’s own Fraud. All claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article VII shall be asserted by Parent on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Parties.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Indemnifying Parties shall have no indemnification obligation for any Taxes of any Acquired Company (i) resulting from any action taken by Parent or its Affiliates after the Closing on the Closing Date outside the ordinary course of business unless otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) except for Sections 2.8(b)(viii), 2.8(b)(xi), 2.8(b)(xii), with respect to Taxes arising as a result of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2.8 that are not attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, (iii) related to or arising from the amount or availability in any Taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date of any net operating losses, tax credits, or similar Tax attributes of any Acquired Company, or (iv) Transfer Taxes borne by Parent pursuant to Section 4.2(d) or (v) any Taxes attributable to a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 4.2 by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies).

7.4 Claims for Indemnification; Resolution of Conflicts.

(a) Subject to the survival periods set forth in Section 7.1 and the limitations set forth in Section 7.3, if an Indemnified Party wishes to make an indemnification claim under this Article VII, Parent, on behalf of such Indemnified Party, shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the Stockholder Representative prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period (i) stating that such Indemnified Party has paid, incurred, suffered or sustained,or reasonably anticipates that it may pay, incur, suffer or sustain, Losses and (ii) specifying such Losses in reasonable detail (to the extent available), and, if applicable, the nature of the misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related. To the extent reasonably practicable, Parent shall include with the Indemnification Claim Notice such documents and other information available to Parent in support of the claims asserted therein, and shall provide such other information as the Stockholder Representative may reasonably request in order to allow the Stockholder Representative to assess the merits of the claims. Parent may update an Indemnification Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof, so long as such update reasonably relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Indemnification Claim Notice.

103

(b) If the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties does not object in writing within the [*] period after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivery of a written notice of objection containing a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting an objection to the applicable indemnification claim (an “Indemnification Claim Objection Notice”), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice if and to the extent such Losses are actually paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, but subject to the other limitations on recovery set forth herein. In such event, Parent shall permanently withhold from the Indemnifying Parties, and the Indemnifying Parties hereby automatically and with no further action required on their part forever waive and discharge any rights in or to, an amount of the Indemnity Holdback with an aggregate value equal to the lesser of the Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice and the amount of the Indemnity Holdback as is then available; provided that Parent’s determination of the amount to be withheld shall be made in good faith and be accompanied by supporting backup and calculations to be delivered to the Stockholder Representative. Should the Indemnity Holdback be insufficient or unavailable to satisfy in whole the amount to be paid to an Indemnified Party in accordance with the Indemnification Claim Notice following the final determination that such claim is payable (including by the failure of the Stockholder Representative to provide an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice), and such claim is not fully and finally resolved on or prior to the date on which an Applicable Milestone Payment is otherwise payable under this Agreement (such unresolved claims being referred to as the “Unresolved Setoff Claims”), then, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3, Parent shall notify the Stockholder Representative of such shortfall and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3, Parent shall have the right to set-off from such Applicable Milestone Payment that becomes due and payable only an amount equal to any such shortfall with respect to the indemnifiable Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice (such amounts so set-off by Parent, the “Retained Milestone Payments”). Following the date on which any Unresolved Setoff Claim is finally resolved in accordance with this Agreement, Parent shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event within [*] Business Days after the final resolution of such Unresolved Setoff Claim, pay or cause to be paid to the Indemnifying Parties an aggregate amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the Retained Milestone Payment withheld for such Unresolved Setoff Claim exceeds the amount that was finally agreed or determined to be owed to any Parent Indemnified Party under this Article VII in respect of such Unresolved Setoff Claim. Any Losses recovered under this Article VII from the Indemnity Holdback or any Applicable Milestone Payment shall reduce the amount of the Indemnity Holdback or the Applicable Milestone Payment in the same proportion as the Indemnity Holdback or Applicable Milestone Payment was allocated as amongst the Indemnifying Parties at the Closing (as set forth on the Spreadsheet).

(c) In the event that the Stockholder Representative shall timely deliver an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice in accordance with Section 7.4(b), the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Stockholder Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. In such event, Parent shall recover an amount equal to the Losses set forth in such memorandum in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.4(b).

104

(d) In the event that there is a dispute relating to any Indemnification Claim Notice or Indemnification Claim Objection Notice that cannot be settled in accordance with Section 7.4(c), each of Parent or the Stockholder Representative may file suit with respect to such dispute in any court having jurisdiction in accordance with Section 9.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Parent and the Stockholder Representative mutually agree, Parent and the Stockholder Representative may submit any such dispute to alternative dispute resolution prior to, or in lieu of, pursuing the claim in court.

(e) Promptly following the Survival Date, Parent will notify the Stockholder Representative in writing of the amount that Parent determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement that have been asserted in any Indemnification Claim Notice that was delivered to the Stockholder Representative at or prior to 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time) on the Survival Date, but not resolved, at or prior to such time (each such claim a “Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Retained Holdback Amount”). Such notice shall include reasonable supporting backup and calculations for the Retained Holdback Amount, which shall not exceed the sum of the then-remaining Indemnity Holdback Amount. Promptly following the Survival Date, Parent shall issue or cause to be issued, or pay or cause to be paid, as applicable, to the Indemnifying Parties (i) the Indemnity Holdback then remaining as of the Survival Date (as reduced from time to time by Parent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) minus (ii) an amount of the Indemnity Holdback equal to the Retained Holdback Amount. Parent shall instruct its transfer agent and the Paying Agent to issue or pay, as applicable, any such Indemnity Holdback, if any, to the applicable Indemnifying Parties promptly following the Survival Date, in each case in accordance with each Indemnifying Party’s applicable Pro Rata Portion of such amount; provided, that any such amounts payable to Indemnifying Parties in respect of any Employee Options shall be paid through the payroll processing system of Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Survival Date in accordance with standard payroll practices net of applicable Tax withholding and deductions.

(f) Promptly following the resolution and payment of all Continuing Claims, Parent shall cause to be issued, or to be paid, as applicable, to the Indemnifying Parties any then remaining Indemnity Holdback in accordance with Section 7.4(e).

(g) Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that as a condition to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s and the Paying Agent’s obligation to make any issuances, distributions or payments pursuant to Section 7.4(e) or Section 7.4(f), the Stockholder Representative shall first deliver to Parent an updated Spreadsheet setting forth the amounts issuable, distributable or payable to each Indemnifying Party in accordance with such section. Parent, the First-Step Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the updated Spreadsheet delivered by the Stockholder Representative, including with respect to whether any individual Indemnifying Party received the appropriate portion of any such distribution, and in no event will Parent, First-Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates have any liability to any Person on account of payments or distributions made in accordance with the updated Spreadsheet delivered by the Stockholder Representative.

105

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any notice that is required to be delivered to any Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of such notice to the Stockholder Representative and (ii) any notices required to be delivered by, or any actions that are required to be taken by, (other than any obligations to make or right to receive any payments) any Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Article VII shall be satisfied by delivery by, or action taken by the Stockholder Representative.

7.5 Third Party Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) which Parent in good faith reasonably believes may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII, Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholder Representative in writing of such claim with an Indemnification Claim Notice (a “Third Party Notice”), and the Third Party Notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, be accompanied by copies of any documentation submitted by the third party making such Third Party Claim and shall indicate the estimated amount of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the third party (except that Parent may withhold from Stockholder Representative such communications with its legal counsel to the extent that legal counsel to Parent advises that providing such communication could result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege or right under the work-product doctrine of Parent or any Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, after giving due consideration to any “community of interest” or similar privilege, if any); provided, that the parties shall work together in good faith to maintain any privilege to facilitate the sharing of copies of all pleadings, notices and written communications with respect to the Third Party Claim; provided, that no delay or failure on the part of Parent in delivering a Third Party Notice shall cause any Indemnified Party to forfeit any indemnification rights under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties are materially and adversely prejudiced by such delay or failure. The costs and expenses incurred by Parent in connection with any investigation, defense, settlement or resolution of such Third Party Claim and the enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement in respect thereof (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Losses for which Parent may seek indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder and such costs and expenses shall constitute Losses subject to indemnification under Section 7.2, solely to the extent it is determined in accordance with Section 7.4 that such Third Party Claim itself is indemnifiable under this Article VII or the Stockholder Representative has consented to a settlement of such Third-Party Claim under this Section 7.5. In the event that the Stockholder Representative has consented to any settlement, adjustment or compromise of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Parties shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VII to the amount of such settlement, adjustment or compromise. Upon receipt of a Third Party Notice, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties and at their expense) to (A) receive updates and information regarding such Third Party Claim, including copies of all pleadings, notices and material communications with respect to such Third Party Claim, and (B) participate in, but not to control or determine, the defense of such Third Party Claim. Parent shall reasonably cooperate with and consider in good faith the input of the Stockholder Representative and the Stockholder Representative’s counsel, provide reasonable advance notice of and an opportunity to participate in all material events and submissions, and not unreasonably withhold consent to the Stockholder Representative’s proposed litigation or settlement strategies that are reasonably likely to reduce, offset or eliminate Losses. Parent shall retain the primary right to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim and the Stockholder Representative shall not be entitled to control any negotiation of settlement, adjustment or

106

compromise with respect to any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that (x) Parent shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (y) that the Stockholder Representative shall have the right, at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense, to assume and control the defense (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Parent) if (1) the Third Party Claim involves allegations that could reasonably be expected to create a conflict of interest between Parent, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Parties or the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, (2) Parent fails to diligently defend the Third Party Claim after reasonable notice from the Stockholder Representative describing such failure, or (3) the relief sought includes non-monetary relief that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Indemnifying Parties. Except with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Stockholder Representative shall not settle any Third-Party Claim.

ARTICLE VIII

(e) by the Company, if the Company is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Parent or Merger Sub I contained in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) would not be satisfied and such breach has not been cured within [*] calendar days after written notice thereof to Parent; provided, however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be cured and in no event shall the cure period extend past the End Date.

(a) By the adoption of the Mergers, and by receiving the benefits thereof, including any consideration payable hereunder, and without any further action of the Company or any Company Security Holder, each Company Security Holder does hereby approve and shall be deemed to have approved Fortis Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as of the Closing as the Stockholder Representative and as the representative, exclusive agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Company Security Holder for all purposes under this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, including to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize satisfaction of claims by Parent, to object to such payments, make objections with respect to Sections 1.7 and 1.8 of this Agreement, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims and with respect to Sections 1.7 and 1.8 of this Agreement, to incur and pay expenses on behalf of the Company Security Holders, and to take or refrain from taking all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the sole judgment of the Stockholder Representative in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s powers, obligations and authority under this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or (ii)

109

permitted by the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Company Security Holders, except as expressly provided herein, in the Paying Agent Agreement and in the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Stockholder Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule (other than Schedule 1.18 hereto), exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule. The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to the Advisory Group and Parent. Such agency may be changed by the Company Security Holders from time to time upon not fewer than ten (10) days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may not be removed unless the former holders of a majority of Company Capital Stock (determined on an as-converted to Company Common Stock basis) agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. A vacancy in the position of Stockholder Representative may be filled by the former holders of a majority of Company Capital Stock (determined on an as-converted to Company Common Stock basis). No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative. After the Closing, notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Company Security Holders.

(b) Certain Company Security Holders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Stockholder Representative to provide direction to the Stockholder Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement (such Company Security Holders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Stockholder Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Stockholder Representative Group”), shall be liable to any Company Security Holder for any action or omission by the Stockholder Representative in connection with its services pursuant to this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, except and only to the extent resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not prejudice the Stockholder Representative’s right to indemnification from the members of the Advisory Group (in their capacity as Company Security Holders) pursuant to the following sentence. The Company Security Holders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative Group from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers), judgments and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Representative Losses”) to the extent arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or the agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been primarily caused by the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative shall promptly reimburse the Company Security Holders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholder Representative by the Company Security

110

Holders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund, (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Company Security Holders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Security Holders, and (iii) the Company Security Holders directly; provided that while this Section 9.2(b) allows the Stockholder Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Company Security Holders from their obligation to promptly pay, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portions, such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event shall the Stockholder Representative be required to advance or risk its own funds on behalf of the Company Security Holders or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Stockholder Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Stockholder Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performing such actions. If Parent is entitled to recovery of any amount exceeding the available balance of the Holdback, and/or the Applicable Milestone Payments in this Agreement, it must proceed directly against each Company Security Holder from whom it seeks recovery. The Stockholder Representative shall have no role, nor shall Parent involve it, in the recovery effort. The foregoing includes, but is not limited to, recovery for indemnity claims that are not limited by the Holdback and/or setoffs against the Applicable Milestone Payments, and fee shifting and/or prevailing party provisions in connection with any dispute. Absent gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Stockholder Representative that is finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, Parent shall never seek to collect or recover any amount directly from the Stockholder Representative. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Company Security Holders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholder Representative hereunder. The Company Security Holders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or any member of the Advisory Group or the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Upon the Closing, the Company shall wire to the Stockholder Representative an amount equal to the Expense Fund Amount (the “Expense Fund”), which shall be held by the Representative in a segregated client account and shall be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Stockholder Representative for, any Representative Losses pursuant to this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement and the Related Agreements, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group. The Company Security Holders shall not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund and has no tax

111

reporting or income distribution obligations. The Stockholder Representative shall hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, shall not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and shall not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Stockholder Representative may contribute funds to the Expense Fund at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Security Holders. As soon as reasonably determined by the Stockholder Representative that the Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver the balance of the Expense Fund, if any, to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Security Holders in proportion to such Company Security Holders’ respective Pro Rata Portion. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Security Holders at the time of Closing.

(d) Any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement, including any amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.7 and Section 9.8 of this Agreement, shall constitute a decision of the Company Security Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each Company Security Holder and such Company Security Holder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Company Security Holder, and all defenses which may be available to any Company Security Holder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholder Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Stockholder Representative Engagement Agreement are waived. Parent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Company Security Holders. Parent is hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative. The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Stockholder Representative Group hereunder: (A) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Company Security Holder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (B) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Company Security Holder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Holdback. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Spreadsheet, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Company Security Holder or other party.

9.6 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such illegal, void or unenforceable provision.

113

9.7 Extension and Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein.

For purposes of this Section 9.7, the Company Security Holders are deemed to have agreed that any extension or waiver signed by the Company (prior to Closing) or the Stockholder Representative (following Closing) shall be binding upon and effective against all Company Security Holders whether or not they have signed such extension or waiver.

9.8 Amendment. Subject to applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution and delivery of an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver by a party, signed by the party to whom such right hereunder inures, except that an amendment made subsequent to Company Stockholder Approval shall not (a) alter or change the amount or kind of consideration to be received on conversion of Company Capital Stock or (b) alter or change any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement if such alteration or change would materially and adversely affect the holders of Company Capital Stock. For purposes of this Section 9.8, the Company Security Holders agree that any amendment of this Agreement signed by the Company (prior to Closing) or the Stockholder Representative (following Closing), as applicable, shall be binding upon and effective against the Company Security Holders whether or not they have signed such amendment, except that any amendment made in accordance with this sentence shall not alter or change any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement if such alteration or change would materially and adversely affect the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Effective Time.

No Person, other than the Company, has been authorized, expressly or impliedly, by the Company to make any representation or warranty on behalf of the Company or any of the other matters set forth above in connection with the Mergers, and if made, such representation or warranty has not been and must not be relied upon by any of the Parent Parties as having been authorized by the Company.

The information set forth in each of the Disclosure Schedule and the Parent Disclosure Schedule is disclosed solely for the purposes of this Agreement, and no information set forth therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever, including of any violation of Law or breach of any agreement. The Disclosure Schedule and the information and disclosures contained therein are intended only to qualify and limit the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement. The Parent Disclosure Schedule and the information and disclosures contained therein are intended only to qualify and limit the representations, warranties and covenants of Parent and Merger Subs contained in this Agreement. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule is intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or create any covenant. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, are not necessarily limited to matters required by the Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule, as applicable. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature.

118

9.17 Attorney-Client Privilege.

Parent agrees, solely with respect to any dispute that arises between Parent or, after the Closing, the Company or the Surviving Entity, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative or Company Security Holders relating to this Agreement, any Related Agreement or the transactions contemplated this Agreement not to (i) invoke any attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection or expectation of client confidentiality applicable to the Transaction Communications or (ii) use such Transaction Communications as evidence in any dispute with the Company Group (except for a claim arising from Fraud). Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Parent, the Surviving Entity and their Affiliates: (i) consent to, and waive any conflict arising from, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP’s representation of the Stockholder Representative and/or any Company Security Holder (and their respective Affiliates) in any matter relating to this Agreement or any Related Agreement, including in matters adverse to Parent or its Affiliates; (ii) agree that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ pre-Closing representation of the Company or the Company Group will not preclude or disqualify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ from any such post-Closing representation and that they will not seek to disqualify ▇▇▇▇▇▇; and (iii) acknowledge that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ does not represent Parent or its Affiliates post-Closing with respect to such matters absent a separate written engagement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein permits ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to disclose or use Parent’s privileged or work-product-protected information without Parent’s consent or as required by Law.

“Brelovitug” means the monoclonal antibody referred to as brelovitug or BJT-778.

“Brelovitug Product” means any pharmaceutical product, in any dosage strength or formulation, that contains Brelovitug, either alone or in combination with one or more Other Components.

“Combination Product” means any Milestone Product that contains: (i) a Milestone Compound and (ii) one or more other active pharmaceutical ingredients that are not Milestone Compounds (the “Other Components”), in a single formulation or final package presentation for sale as a single unit (including separate unit doses so configured).

“Commercially Reasonable Efforts” means, with respect to a particular objective or obligation to be performed by Parent and its Affiliates under this Agreement, that level of effort and resources consistent with [*].

“Major Market Country” means any of the following countries: the U.S., France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

“Milestone Compound” means any Product Candidate other than BJT-188.

“Milestone Product” means any pharmaceutical product, in any dosage strength or formulation, that contains a Milestone Compound, either alone or in combination with one or more Other Components.

“Net Sales” means, with respect to any Milestone Product, the gross amounts invoiced for sales of such Milestone Product by Parent or any of its Affiliates or licensees and licensee’s sublicensees (excluding distributors) to a third party, less the following deductions, to the extent allocated to the sale of such Milestone Product and actually taken, paid, accrued, allowed, or included in the gross sales prices or specifically allocated in its financial statements with respect to such sales:

discounts (including trade, cash, quantity and patient program discounts);

ii.

price reductions, charge-back payments and rebates (retroactive or otherwise) granted to managed health care organizations or to federal, state and local governments, their agencies, and purchasers and reimbursers or to wholesale or other trade customers;

iii.

credits, reserves or allowances actually granted with respect to damaged or outdated goods, rejections or returns of such Milestone Product, including such Milestone Product returned in connection with recalls or withdrawals, returned goods allowance or billing errors, as well as credit card charges (including processing fees);

iv.

amounts written off by reason of uncollectible debt but at no more than [*] of the gross amounts, provided that if the debt is thereafter paid, the corresponding amount will be added to the Net Sales of the period during which it is paid;

the portion of administrative fees paid during the relevant time period to group purchasing organizations, pharmaceutical benefit managers or Medicare Prescription Drug Plans reasonably allocated to such Milestone Product;

vi.

amounts invoiced for freight out, postage, customs charges, shipping, insurance, packaging materials and other transportation and handling charges for delivery of such Milestone Product to the extent not separately charged and are included in gross amounts invoiced;

vii.

tariffs, taxes or duties levied on, absorbed or otherwise imposed on the sale of such Milestone Product, including value-added, sales or similar taxes, or other governmental charges otherwise imposed upon the billed amount, as adjusted for rebates and refunds, to the extent not paid by the Third Party, including annual fees due under Section 9008 of the United States Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Pub. L. No. 111-48) and other comparable Laws; and

viii.

any other non-duplicative deductions taken by Parent or its Affiliates or licensees in accordance with GAAP.

Sales and other transfers of Milestone Product between Parent and its Affiliates and licensees will be excluded from Net Sales, but the subsequent arms’ length sales of Milestone Product to third parties (including to distributors) will be included in Net Sales. Transfers, use or sales of Milestone Products for development (including for clinical studies), promotional or advertising purposes or as donations or as so-called “treatment IND sales,” “named patient sales,” “compassionate use sales” or sales under similar programs or pursuant to any expanded access programs, in each case, will not be included in Net Sales.

Net Sales will be determined in accordance with GAAP.

Net Sales for a Combination Product in a country in a calendar year shall be calculated as follows:

If both one or more Milestone Compounds and the Other Components are sold independently in such country in such calendar year in the same formulation and dosage, then Net Sales will be calculated by multiplying the total Net Sales (as described above) of the Combination Product by the

fraction A/(A+B), where A is the average gross selling price in such country in such calendar year of such Milestone Compound(s) sold separately in the same formulation and dosage, and B is the (sum of the) average gross selling price(s) in such country in such calendar year of the Other Component(s) sold separately in the same formulation and dosage.

ii.

If one or more Milestone Compounds is sold independently of the Other Component(s) in such country in such calendar year in the same formulation and dosage, but the average gross selling price of the Other Component(s) cannot be determined, then Net Sales will be calculated by multiplying the total Net Sales (as described above) of such Combination Product by the fraction A/C, where A is the average gross selling price in such country in such calendar year of such Milestone Compound(s) sold independently in the same formulation and dosage and C is the average gross selling price in such country in such calendar year of the Combination Product.

iii.

If the Other Component(s) are sold independently of one or more Milestone Compounds in such country in such calendar year in the same formulation and dosage, but the average gross selling price of such Milestone Compound(s) cannot be determined, then Net Sales will be calculated by multiplying the total Net Sales (as described above) of such Combination Product by the fraction [1-B/C], where B is the (sum of the) average gross selling price(s) in such country in such calendar year of the Other Component(s) in the same formulation and dosage and C is the average gross selling price in such country in such calendar year of the Combination Product.

iv.

If the average gross selling price of one or more Milestone Compound(s) and the Other Component(s) in the same formulation and dosage cannot be determined, then Net Sales will be calculated by multiplying the total Net Sales (as described above) of such Combination Product by a fraction to be determined by Parent in good faith based on the relative value contributed by such Milestone Compound and the Other Components of such Combination Product.

“Permitted Transfer” means a transfer of a former Company Security Holder’s right to receive its applicable portion of the Applicable Milestone Payments (i) on death by will or intestacy, (ii) by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which such right is to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustee, (iii) pursuant to a court order, or (iv) made by operation of Law (including a consolidation or merger) or without consideration in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or termination of any entity.

“Third Party Acquiror” means any third party that is a counterparty to a Parent Change of Control.

Milestones. Within [*] days after the end of the first calendar year in which any milestone event set forth in the table below (each, a “Milestone Event”) is first achieved, Parent shall notify the Stockholder Representative and shall make the corresponding Applicable Milestone Payment in accordance with Section 1.18, which shall be subject to (x) reduction for any applicable Deferred Transaction Payroll Taxes, (y) any required Tax withholding pursuant to Section 1.15 and (z) set-off as expressly provided in, and subject to the terms and limitations set forth in, Article VII:


Milestone Event	Milestone Payment (in Dollars)
First achievement of aggregate worldwide Net Sales of all Milestone Products in a calendar year equal to $500,000,000	$	[*	]
First achievement of aggregate worldwide Net Sales of all Milestone Products in a calendar year equal to $[*]	$	[*	]

Total	$	200,000,000

If both Milestone Events are first achieved in a particular calendar year, then both Applicable Milestone Payments (i.e., for the higher Milestone Event and lower Milestone Event) will become due and payable. Each Applicable Milestone Payment is payable one time only, regardless of the number of times achieved. The maximum amount payable under this Section 2 is two hundred million dollars ($200,000,000).

Reports. Within [*] days after the end of each calendar year, commencing with the calendar year in which Net Sales are first recorded and ending with the calendar year in which the second Milestone Event is achieved, Parent will provide the Stockholder Representative with a statement setting forth the gross amounts invoiced for the sale of Milestone Products in such calendar year and the Net Sales of Milestone Products for such calendar year, in Dollars, and, during the [*] days immediately following the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of such statement, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith with the Stockholder Representative with respect to (i) any reasonable questions from the Stockholder Representative relating to such statement and (ii) no more than three (3) reasonable requests for a teleconference meeting or video conference (which meeting or conference may include the Advisory Group) to discuss such statement (on prior notice and during business hours) per calendar year. Net Sales that are recorded in a currency other than Dollars will be converted into Dollars in the manner used by Parent from time to time in the preparation of its audited financial statements for external reporting purposes.

4.	Records; Audits.

Parent and its Affiliates will, and will require their licensees to, keep complete, true and accurate books and records in accordance with GAAP of the items underlying Net Sales for a period of at least [*] years or as required by applicable law, whichever is longer, following the end of the calendar year to which they pertain.

If the Stockholder Representative requests in writing within [*] days after the receipt of any report under Section 3 above, the Stockholder Representative will have the right, not more than once annually, at its own expense, on behalf of the Company Security Holders, to have an internationally-recognized, independent, certified public accountant, selected by the Stockholder Representative and reasonably acceptable to Parent (the “Auditor”), review any such records of Parent and its Affiliates in the location(s) where such records are customarily maintained upon reasonable prior notice, during regular business hours and under customary obligations of confidentiality for the sole purpose of verifying the Net Sales reports provided under Section 3 above for the preceding calendar year. The records for any calendar year may be audited no more than once unless errors are found in an audit. The report prepared by the Auditor, a copy of which will be sent or otherwise provided to Parent and to the Stockholder Representative by such Auditor at the same time, will contain the conclusions of the Auditor regarding the audit and will specify only whether Net Sales were overreported or underreported by Parent and whether any Milestone Event was first achieved in the applicable calendar year. If the report shows that a Milestone Event was first achieved in such calendar year and Parent failed to report such Milestone Event and pay the Applicable Milestone Payment, and Parent does not dispute such report within [*] days after receipt thereof, then Parent shall pay such Applicable Milestone Payment with interest thereon, at an annual rate equal to the “prime rate”, as reported by The Wall Street Journal on the day the payment is made, plus [*] basis points, within such [*]-day period in accordance with Section 1.18. If (i) the report shows that Parent underreported Net Sales by more than [*] for any calendar year and (ii) as a result of such underreporting, Parent failed to report a Milestone Event and pay the Applicable Milestone Payment, and Parent does not dispute such report within [*] days after receipt thereof, then Parent shall reimburse the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Company Security Holders, for the reasonable cost of the Auditor to conduct the audit.

If Parent disputes the Auditor’s report under Section 4(b) above within the applicable [*]-day period, then Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall work in good faith to resolve such dispute. If they are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such dispute within [*] days after Parent notifies the Stockholder Representative of a dispute, then the dispute will be submitted to an internationally-recognized, independent, certified public accountant, jointly selected by each Parent’s and Stockholder Representative’s certified public accountants or to such other Person as Parent and Stockholder Representative shall mutually agree (the “Independent Accountant”), who will review the records that were reviewed by the Auditor under Section 4(b) above to determine the accuracy of the applicable Net Sales report provided by Parent under Section 3 above and the report of the Auditor under Section 4(b) above. The determination of the Independent Accountant will be final and binding, and the costs of such resolution as well as the initial audit shall be borne between Parent and the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Company Security Holders, in such manner as the Independent Accountant shall determine. If the Independent Accountant determines that a Milestone Event was first achieved and Parent failed to report

such Milestone Event and pay the Applicable Milestone Payment, then Parent shall pay such Applicable Milestone Payment with interest thereon, at an annual rate equal to the “prime rate”, as reported by The Wall Street Journal on the day the payment is made, plus [*] basis points, within [*] days after receipt by Parent and the Stockholder Representative of the determination of the Independent Accountant, in accordance with Section 1.18.

5.	Diligence.

Commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until both Milestone Events have been achieved, Parent shall [*].

Each of the Stockholder Representative, the Company and the Company Security Holders hereby acknowledges and agrees that (A) except as expressly set forth in the preceding Section 5(a), Parent and its Affiliates have no further obligations and shall have the sole right and sole decision-making authority (i) with respect to the ownership, use, manufacture, licensing, development, regulatory approval, commercialization or other exploitation of the Milestone Products and all Product Candidates and (ii) to take or refrain from taking any action with respect thereto; (B) [*]; (C) Parent and its Affiliates make no (and have made no) representation or warranty, either express or implied, and hereby disclaim any such representation or warranty, that Parent or its Affiliates will be able to successfully develop or commercialize any Milestone Product or achieve the Milestone Events, and Parent and its Affiliates have not provided any assurances or projections regarding the likelihood of achieving the Milestone Events; (D) neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates owes any fiduciary duty with respect to the achievement of the Milestone Events or sale of any Milestone Product or Product Candidate; and (E) the express provisions of this Agreement govern the parties’ contractual relationship and supersede any standard of efforts or implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing that might otherwise be imposed by Laws with respect thereto.

Company Security Holders’ Rights. The right of any former Company Security Holder to receive any portion of an Applicable Milestone Payment: (i) is solely a contractual right; (ii) is not a security for purposes of any federal or state securities Laws; (iii) does not give such Company Security Holder dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation rights, preemptive rights or other equity or ownership rights of holders of capital stock of the Surviving Entity; (iv) shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument; (v) shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by such Company Security Holder, except pursuant to a Permitted Transfer or where Parent has provided its prior written consent thereto; (vi) shall not accrue or pay interest on any portion thereof; and (vii) does not represent any right other than the right to receive the consideration set forth in this Schedule 1.18 and Section 1.18 in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Any attempted transfer of the right to any portion of an Applicable Milestone Payment by any former Company Security Holder (other than as specifically permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.
