Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Replacement Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and, in the case of any Replacement Options that, when the underlying Company Option was granted, was intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, consistent with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustments

-22-

described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be determined in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code, if applicable. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.3(b), each Replacement Parent RSU shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including settlement conditions) as applied to the corresponding Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company, as applicable, will adopt such resolutions of the Parent Board or the Company Board (or any appropriate committee thereof) as are required to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 3.3.

If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, each of such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock (including any shares issued as a result of the Preferred Stock Conversion provided for in Section 6.20) shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration, in accordance with Section 3.1, without interest. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice and a copy of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to Company stockholders’ rights of appraisal. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

-72-

obtained, the Parent Board may (I) effect a Parent Change of Recommendation if the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor) that, as a result of a development, occurrence, event, state of facts or change (other than in connection with a Parent Alternative Proposal) with respect to Parent that is material to Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that was not known to or reasonably foreseeable by, or the magnitude or consequences of which were not known to or reasonably foreseeable by, the Parent Board as of or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (a “Parent Intervening Event”) (provided that in no event shall (A) any action taken by either party pursuant to the affirmative covenants set forth in Section 6.11, or the consequences of any such action, constitute, be deemed to contribute to or otherwise be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Parent Intervening Event and (B) (x) the fact that, in and of itself, the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries meets, fails to meet or exceeds any internal or published projections, forecasts, estimates or predictions in respect of revenues, earnings or other financial or operating metrics for any period (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise to or contributing to such event may be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a Parent Intervening Event to the extent not otherwise excluded hereunder), (y) any change, in and of itself, in the market price or trading volume of Parent’s securities (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise to or contributing to such change may be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a Parent Intervening Event to the extent not otherwise excluded hereunder) or (z) any change in general economic or political conditions or the securities, credit or financial markets, including changes in interest or exchange rates, be deemed to contribute to or otherwise be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Parent Intervening Event), failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ duties under applicable Law (taking into account any adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Merger proposed by the Company in response to such Parent Intervening Event), and (II) if Parent receives a Parent Alternative Proposal (provided that there has not been any material breach of the restrictions in this Section 6.6 in connection with the Person making such Parent Alternative Proposal) that the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors) constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal (taking into account any adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Merger proposed by the Company in response to such Parent Alternative Proposal), effect a Parent Change of Recommendation; provided, however, that the Parent Board may take the actions described in clause (I) or (II) if and only if:

(1) Parent shall have provided (A) prior written notice to the Company of the Parent Board’s intention to take such actions at least three (3) Business Days in advance of taking such action, which notice shall specify, as applicable, a reasonably detailed description of such Parent Intervening Event or the material terms of the Parent Alternative Proposal received by Parent that constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal, including the identity of the party making the Parent Alternative Proposal, (B) if applicable, a copy of such written Parent Alternative Proposal or amendment thereto and any other written terms, documents or proposals provided to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Parent Alternative Proposal and (C) with respect to any Parent Alternative Proposal or amendment thereto not made in writing, a written summary of the material terms and conditions of each such Parent Alternative Proposal or such amendment thereto;

(2) after providing such notice and prior to taking such actions, Parent shall have negotiated, and shall have caused its Representatives to negotiate, with the Company in good faith (to the extent the Company desires to negotiate) during such three (3) Business Day period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit the Parent Board not to take such actions; and

-73-

(3) the Parent Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement that may be offered in writing by the Company by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the third (3^rd) Business Day of such three (3) Business Day period and shall have determined in good faith (A) with respect to the actions described in clause (I) above, after consultation with outside counsel, that it would continue to be inconsistent with the directors’ duties under applicable Law not to effect the Parent Change of Recommendation, and (B) with respect to the actions described in clause (II) above, after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor, that the Parent Alternative Proposal received by Parent would continue to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal, in each case, if such changes offered in writing by the Company were given effect.

Each time material modifications to the terms of a Parent Alternative Proposal determined to be a Parent Superior Proposal are made (it being understood that any change to the financial terms of such proposal shall be deemed a material modification), Parent shall notify the Company of such modification and comply again with the requirements of clauses (1) through (3) above. With respect to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to a Parent Intervening Event, Parent shall notify the Company of such material change and comply again with the requirements of clauses (1) through (3) above.

(f) Subject to the proviso in this Section 6.6(f), nothing contained in this Section 6.6 shall be deemed to prohibit Parent, the Parent Board or any committee of the Parent Board from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal securities Law, determined in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel), with regard to a Parent Alternative Proposal, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer); (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of Parent pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the stockholders of Parent); or (iii) making any disclosure if the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Parent Board to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the directors’ duties under applicable Law; provided that neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall effect a Parent Change of Recommendation unless the applicable requirements of Section 6.6(e) shall have been satisfied.

(g) Until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the approval of the Parent Board for purposes of causing any Takeover Law to be inapplicable to the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be amended and no Parent Change of Recommendation or other action shall change such approval.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be obligated to continue to employ any Continuing Employee for any specific period of time following the Effective Time.

(b) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, providing benefits to any Continuing Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with Parent or the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan, as applicable, in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to retiree medical plans, benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan, as applicable, in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans collectively, as applicable, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (A) all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable plans of the applicable Old Plan in which such employee participated immediately

prior to the Effective Time, and (B) any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(c) Parent and the Company hereby acknowledge that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Parent Benefit Plans set forth on Section 6.10(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter will occur at or prior to the Effective Time.

(d) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, Parent shall take all actions with respect to the Parent ESPP that are necessary to provide that the Parent ESPP shall be suspended effective on or before March 1, 2020, such that no new offering periods will be commenced following the date of this Agreement.

(f) Nothing in this Section 6.10 or any other provision of this Agreement shall (i) confer upon any Continuing Employee or any other Person any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Continuing Employee or any other Person at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, (ii) be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement or (iii) limit the ability of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to amend, modify or terminate in accordance with its terms any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement at any time. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.10 shall create any third-party rights in any Person, including any current or former director, officer, employee or other service provider of the Company or its Affiliates or any participant in any Company Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s and any of its Subsidiaries’ charters and bylaws or similar organizational documents as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and/or in any agreements of the Company or its Subsidiaries with any of their respective directors or officers set forth on Section 6.14 of the Company Disclosure Letter, in each case as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and honor, guaranty and stand surety for, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its other Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.14.

or any of its Subsidiaries (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”) against any reasonable costs or expenses (including advancing reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Law following receipt if requested in writing by Parent of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such Person was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.14), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Action”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission occurring or alleged to have occurred whether before or after the Effective Time in connection with such Indemnified Party’s service as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including acts or omissions in connection with such Indemnified Party’s service as an officer, director, member, trustee or other fiduciary in any other entity if such service was at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect the current policies and any policies in place immediately prior to the Effective Time of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant to this Agreement, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. The Company may (or, if requested by Parent, shall) purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six (6) year prepaid “tail” policy on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the policies set forth on Section 6.14 of the Company Disclosure Letter and any policies in place immediately prior to the Effective Time of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for a maximum cost of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement in respect of the insurance policies set forth on Section 6.14 of the Company Disclosure Letter. If such “tail” prepaid policy has been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for insurance hereunder.

(d) The Surviving Corporation shall pay, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.14.

-83-

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the charters or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other arrangement, the DGCL or other applicable Law or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 6.14 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ or officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their officers or directors.

(g) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, if requested by an Indemnified Party, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.14.

Section 6.15 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company, if applicable, shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) or acquisitions of Parent equity securities (including derivative securities) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company or is or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Parent to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

No settlement of any such shareholder Action shall be agreed to without the other party’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Section 6.17 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company agrees to give prompt notice to Parent of the discovery by the Company of any fact, circumstance or event, the existence or occurrence of which would be reasonably likely to cause the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.17 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

Section 6.19 Certain Tax Matters. Each party shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to obtain the tax opinion referenced in Section 7.2(d), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. None of the parties shall take any action or fail to take any action (and the parties shall cause their respective Subsidiaries not to take any action or fail to take any action), which action (or failure to act) would prevent or impede, or would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede, the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The Company and Parent (on its behalf and on behalf of Merger Sub) shall execute and deliver to Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, counsel to the Company, certificates substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, respectively, at such time or times as reasonably requested by such law firm in connection with its delivery of the opinion referred to in Section 7.2(d) (and any other Tax opinion required in connection with the Registration Statement).

Section 9.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) In addition, each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party to this Agreement or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware, or, if both the Delaware Court of Chancery and the federal courts within the State of Delaware decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other state court within the State of Delaware, and, in each case, any appellate court therefrom. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 9.4, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (I) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (II) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (III) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if such process is given as a notice in accordance with Section 9.7.

Section 9.5 Specific Enforcement.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages) to obtain (i) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (ii) an injunction

-94-

restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each party acknowledges and agrees that (A) each party is entitled to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement notwithstanding the availability of any monetary remedy, (B) the availability of any monetary remedy (1) is not intended to and does not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and (2) shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any party’s right to specific enforcement, and (C) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

(b) Each party further agrees that (i) no such party will oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity and (ii) no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 9.5, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Section 9.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 9.11 Amendments; Waivers. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval or Parent Stockholder Approval, if any such amendment or waiver shall by applicable Law or in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NYSE require further approval of the stockholders of the Company, the effectiveness of such amendment or waiver shall be subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company.
