(d) Termination of Offer.

Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, or to correct any material omissions therefrom, and Parent further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. The Company shall

The Company shall register the transfer of any Shares irrevocably accepted for payment effective immediately after the Offer Acceptance Time; provided, that Purchaser shall have paid for such Shares concurrently with such transfer.

2.5 Conversion of Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(i) any Shares then held by the Company or held in the Company’s treasury (other than, in each case, Shares that are held in a fiduciary or agency capacity and are beneficially owned by third parties) shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any Shares then held by Parent, Purchaser or any other direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) any Shares irrevocably accepted for purchase in the Offer shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no additional consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iv) except as provided Section 2.5(a)(i), Section 2.5(a)(ii) and Section 2.5(a)(iii) and subject to Section 2.5(b), each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law in accordance with Section 2.6(g);

(v) each share of the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Purchaser then outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) If, between the Agreement Date and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted to provide the holders of Shares and holders of Options, RSUs, and PSUs with the same economic effects as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event, it being understood that nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action that is expressly prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

2.6 Surrender of Certificates; Stock Transfer Books.

(a) Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, Parent shall designate a reputable U.S. bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as depositary agent (the “Depository Agent”) for holders of Shares entitled to receive the Offer Price pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and to act as the paying agent for the holders of Shares entitled to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.5 (the “Paying Agent”). Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, all fees and expenses of the Paying Agent. The agreement entered into prior to Closing pursuant to which Parent shall appoint the Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent Agreement”) shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. At or promptly following the Offer Acceptance Time but prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Depository Agent cash in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars an amount sufficient to make payment of the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to make payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration, Option Consideration, RSU Consideration and PSU Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.5 and Section 2.8 (other than such Option Consideration, RSU Consideration, and PSU Consideration payable through payroll in accordance with Section 2.8(g) (such deposits together, the “Payment Fund”)). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to pay the aggregate Offer Price in the Offer and the aggregate Merger Consideration, Option Consideration, RSU Consideration and PSU Consideration in the Merger as provided herein. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as and to the extent reasonably directed by Parent; provided that such investments shall be (1) in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, (2) in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or (3) in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three months or that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement; provided, further, that no gain or loss on the Payment Fund shall affect the amounts payable hereunder. In the event the Payment Fund shall be insufficient to pay the Offer Price in accordance with Section 1.1(b) and the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.5 or the Option Consideration, RSU Consideration or PSU Consideration in accordance with Section 2.8, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount that is equal to the shortfall that is required to make such payment.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than two (2) business days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail or otherwise provide to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) that are (i) represented by certificates evidencing such Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) Book-Entry Shares that are not held, directly or indirectly, through

DTC, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), notice advising such Person of the occurrence of the Effective Time, which notice shall include (A) appropriate transmittal materials, including a letter of transmittal (which shall be in reasonable and customary form), specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or such Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or the surrender of such Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent (which shall be deemed to have been effected upon the delivery of a customary “agent’s message” with respect to such Book-Entry Shares or such other reasonable evidence, if any, of such surrender as the Paying Agent may reasonably request pursuant to the terms of the conditions of the Paying Agent Agreement), as applicable and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or such Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent in exchange for the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive as part of the Merger pursuant to Section 2.5. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the benefit of the holder thereof.

(c) With respect to Book-Entry Shares held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries to ensure that the Paying Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, upon surrender of Shares held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed by Parent, the Company, the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries, the Merger Consideration to which the beneficial owners thereof are entitled to receive as a result of the Merger pursuant to Section 2.5.

(d) Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Shares that (i) are represented by Certificates, by physical surrender of such Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), together with duly completed and executed appropriate transmittal materials required by the Paying Agent, (ii) are Book-Entry Shares not held through DTC, by book-receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent in connection with the surrender of such Book-Entry Shares (or such other reasonable evidence, if any, of such surrender as the Paying Agent may be reasonably request pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Paying Agent Agreement) and (iii) are Book-Entry Shares held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed by the Company, Parent, the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary and desirable third-party intermediaries pursuant to Section 2.6(c), the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver, out of the Payment Fund, as promptly as practicable to such holders, an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly evidenced by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the benefit of the holder thereof. If the payment of any Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificates formerly evidencing the Shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it

shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(e) At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (including, all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all Payment Funds), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares held by them. Neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such Share to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) At the close of business on the Closing Date, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to the Shares shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Laws.

(g) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate (which shall not exceed the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Certificate), the Paying Agent will pay (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.9), in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Section 2.

2.7 Appraisal Rights. All Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and held by holders who are entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL and have properly exercised and perfected their respective demands for appraisal of such shares in the time and manner provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and, as of the Effective Time, have neither effectively withdrawn nor lost their rights to such appraisal and payment under the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration, but shall, by virtue of the Merger, be cancelled and no longer outstanding, shall cease to exist and the holder thereof shall be entitled to only such consideration as shall be determined pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL in respect of any such shares; provided that if any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to appraisal, such holder’s Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration under Section 2.5, without any interest thereon (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.9), and such Shares shall not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares and Parent shall have the right to participate in, and direct, all negotiations and Legal Proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. The Company shall provide each of the holders of Shares as of the record date for the purpose of receiving the notice required by Section 262(d) of the DGCL with the notice contemplated thereby as part of the Schedule 14D-9.

As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the holders thereof, Parent, Purchaser or the Company, each Option that is then outstanding and unexercised as of immediately before the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted solely into the right to receive cash (without interest and less applicable Tax withholdings pursuant to Section 2.9) in an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the excess (if any) of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price payable per Share under such Option, which amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.8(g) (the “Option Consideration”).

(b) As of the Effective Time, each 2025 Option will be cancelled and converted into a cash-based award (a “Converted Stock Option”), which shall entitle the holder thereof to receive an amount in cash (without interest and less applicable Tax withholdings pursuant to Section 2.9) equal to the Option Consideration (the “Converted Stock Option Cash Consideration”). Each Converted Stock Option (and the right to receive the Converted Stock Option Cash Consideration) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting, forfeiture and acceleration provisions) that were applicable to the corresponding 2025 Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that,

(i) the Converted Stock Option Cash Consideration shall vest and become payable 50% upon the Closing Date and 50% upon the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date (the “Converted Equity Payment Dates”) and (ii) in the event that the holder of a Converted Stock Option experiences an Involuntary Termination following the Closing Date but prior to the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date, such holder’s Converted Stock Option Cash Consideration shall immediately vest and become payable.

(d) As of the Effective Time, each 2025 RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into a cash-based award (a “Converted RSU”), which shall entitle the holder thereof to receive an amount in cash (without interest and less applicable Tax withholdings pursuant to Section 2.9) equal to the RSU Consideration (the “Converted RSU Cash Consideration”). Each Converted RSU (and the right to receive the Converted RSU Cash Consideration) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting, forfeiture and acceleration provisions) that were applicable to the corresponding 2025 RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that, (i) such Converted RSU shall vest and become payable in equal 50% installments on the Converted Equity Payment Dates and (ii) in the event that the holder of a Converted RSU experiences an Involuntary Termination following the Closing Date but prior to the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date, such holder’s Converted RSU Cash Consideration shall immediately vest and become payable. Parent shall pay (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay) the Converted RSU Cash Consideration in respect of each Converted RSU that becomes vested and payable on the Surviving Corporation’s next regularly scheduled payroll date following the applicable Converted Equity Payment Date.

(f) As of the Effective Time, each 2025 PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into a cash-based award (a “Converted PSU”), which shall entitle the holder thereof to receive an amount in cash (without interest and less applicable Tax withholdings pursuant to Section 2.9) equal to the PSU Consideration (the “Converted PSU Cash Consideration”). Each Converted PSU (and the right to the Converted PSU Cash Consideration) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting (other than the performance-based vesting conditions), forfeiture and acceleration provisions) that were applicable to the corresponding 2025 PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that, (i) such Converted PSU shall vest and become payable in equal 50% installments upon the Converted Equity Payment Dates and (ii) in the event that the holder of a Converted PSU experiences an Involuntary Termination following the Closing Date but prior to the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date, such holder’s Converted PSU Cash Consideration shall immediately vest and become payable. Parent shall pay (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay) the Converted PSU Cash Consideration in respect of each Converted PSU that becomes vested and payable on the Surviving Corporation’s next regularly scheduled payroll date following the Converted Equity Payment Dates.

To the extent that such amounts are so deducted and withheld and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body in accordance with applicable Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

2.10 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Purchaser and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Purchaser, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

5.3 No Solicitation.

(a) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” shall mean a confidentiality agreement that (i) is in effect as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or (ii) entered into after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and contains confidentiality and non-use and other provisions that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that any such confidentiality agreement (A) need not contain any standstill or similar provision and (B) shall not include any provision calling for any exclusive right to negotiate with such party or having the effect of prohibiting the Company or Parent, as applicable, from satisfying any of its obligations under this Section 5.3.

(b) Except as permitted by this Section 5.3, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall direct its and their respective Representatives not to, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any non-public information relating to the Acquired Companies in connection with or for the purpose of, soliciting or knowingly facilitating or encouraging, an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) enter into any letter of intent, acquisition agreement, agreement in principle or similar agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Agreement Date, the Company shall terminate access by any third party (other than Parent and its Representatives) to any physical or electronic data room relating to any potential Acquisition Proposal. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Agreement Date, the Company shall deliver a written notice to each Person that entered into a confidentiality agreement in anticipation of potentially making an Acquisition Proposal within the past 12 months requesting the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person. The Company agrees that in the event any director or officer of the Company, or any other Representative of the Company acting at the direction of any such director or officer, takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.3, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.3.

(c) If at any time on or after the Agreement Date and prior to the Offer Acceptance Time the Company or any of its Representatives receives a written Acquisition Proposal from any Person or group of Persons, which Acquisition Proposal was made or renewed on or after the Agreement Date, (i) the Company and its Representatives may contact and engage in discussions with such Person or group of Persons to clarify the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request that any oral Acquisition Proposal be provided in written form or inform such Person or group of Persons of the terms of this Section 5.3 and (ii) if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes

or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law, then the Company and its Representatives may (A) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement or furnish pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement information (including non-public information) with respect to the Acquired Companies to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Acquisition Proposal and their respective Representatives and financing sources; provided that the Company shall promptly provide to Parent any material non-public information concerning the Acquired Companies that is provided to any Person given such access which was not previously provided to Parent or its Representatives and (B) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal and their respective Representatives and financing sources, including soliciting the submission of a revised Acquisition Proposal. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will not be required to enforce, and will be permitted to waive, any provision of any standstill or confidentiality agreement that prohibits or purports to prohibit an Acquisition Proposal being made to the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law.

(d) The Company shall (i) promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) notify Parent if any inquiries, proposals or offers that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal are received by any Acquired Company or any of its Representatives during the Pre-Closing Period, (ii) provide to Parent a copy of any written Acquisition Proposal received by the Company or any of its Representatives and a summary of the material terms and conditions of any oral Acquisition Proposal and (iii) keep Parent reasonably informed of any material developments regarding any Acquisition Proposal on a prompt basis.

5.4 Company Board Recommendation.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser), or publicly propose to withdraw or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser), the Company Board Recommendation, (B) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or publicly propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Acquisition Proposal or (C) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Change Recommendation”) or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow the Company to execute or enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.4(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time:

(i) In the event that (x) if the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that has not been withdrawn and did not result from a material breach of Section 5.3(b) and (y) after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may (A) make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or (B) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B) if and only if: (1) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so in the manner contemplated by this Section 5.4(b) would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Laws; (2) the Company shall have given Parent prior written notice of its intention to make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) at least five (5) business days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation or effecting such termination (a “Determination Notice”) (which notice, or the public disclosure thereof, shall not constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation); and (3) (x) the Company shall have provided to Parent a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, in accordance with Section 5.3(d), (y) the Company shall have given Parent four (4) business days (the “Match Period”) after delivery of the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make other proposals so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal and shall have made itself and its Representatives reasonably available to negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) during the Match Period with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (z) after considering the terms of this Agreement and any binding written proposals (which continue to remain able to be accepted by the Company) made by Parent, if any, prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the last day of the Match Period, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Laws. The issuance of any “stop, look and listen” communication by or on behalf of

the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act shall not be considered a Company Adverse Change Recommendation and shall not require the giving of a Determination Notice or compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.4. The provisions of this Section 5.4(b)(i) shall also apply to any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal and require a new Determination Notice, except that the Match Period shall be deemed to be two (2) business days; and

(ii) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to a Change in Circumstance, if and only if: (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so in the manner contemplated by this Section 5.4(b) would be reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Laws; (B) the Company shall have given Parent a Determination Notice at least four (4) business days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation (which notice describes the Change in Circumstance in reasonable detail and which notice, or the public disclosure thereof, shall not constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation); and (C) (1) the Company shall have given Parent three (3) business days after the delivery of the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal, and shall have made its Representatives reasonably available to negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to do so) during such three business day period with respect to such proposed revisions or make other proposals such that such Change in Circumstance would no longer necessitate a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, if any, and (2) after considering the terms of this Agreement and any binding written proposals made by Parent, if any, prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the fourth (4^th) business day following delivery of the Determination Notice, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to such Change in Circumstance would still reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.4(b)(ii) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Change in Circumstance, and require a new Determination Notice, except that the references to four (4) business days shall be deemed to be two (2) business days.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, subject to its undertakings in this Section 5.5, Parent shall consult with the Company in good faith (and consider in good faith the Company’s reasonable input) with respect to ultimate strategy for securing approvals, and expiration of relevant waiting periods under applicable Law, including Antitrust and FDI Laws (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any decision to enter into any timing agreement, stop the clock, stay, toll or extend, any applicable waiting period, or pull and refile under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust or FDI Laws, or agree with any Governmental Body not to consummate the Transactions for any period of time (each, a “Timing Commitment”)), and resolving or defending against any Legal Proceeding brought or threatened to be brought by any Governmental Body under any applicable Law, including Antitrust and FDI Laws; provided that in the event of disagreement between the Parties after good faith consultation, the final determination on such strategy shall be made by Parent; provided, further that in no event shall Parent agree to any Timing Commitment that would extend the timing for the consummation of the Offer and the Merger beyond the then-applicable End Date without the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of this Section 5.5, Parent agrees to promptly take, and cause its controlled Affiliates to take, any and all actions reasonably necessary to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, obtain any consent, permit, authorization, waiver or clearance under the HSR Act or other Antitrust and FDI Laws, resolve objections, if any, of the FTC, DOJ, or any other Governmental Bodies with respect to the Transactions under the HSR Act or other Antitrust and FDI Laws, avoid the commencement of a Legal Proceeding by the FTC, the DOJ or other Governmental Bodies, and avoid the entry of, effect the dissolution of, or to eliminate, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding which

would otherwise have the effect of preventing the Closing or delaying the Offer Acceptance Time beyond the Expiration Date, and to otherwise as promptly as reasonably practicable take all actions to resolve any objections and take all actions requested or required by any Governmental Body under applicable Antitrust and FDI Laws, including (i) negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, lease, license, divestiture or disposition of any assets, rights, intellectual property, product lines, service lines, or businesses of the Company and its Affiliates, (ii) terminating existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of the Company and its Affiliates, (iii) terminating any venture or other arrangement of the Company and its Affiliates, (iv) creating any relationship, contractual rights or obligations of the Company and its Affiliates, (v) effectuating any other change or restructuring of the Company and its Affiliates and (vi) otherwise taking or committing to take any actions with respect to the businesses, product lines, assets, contractual rights, intellectual property, product lines, or service lines of the Company and its Affiliates (each, a “Remedial Action”). The Parties shall oppose and defend through litigation or another Legal Proceeding on the merits any claim asserted in court or another venue by any Person, including any Governmental Body, under Antitrust and FDI Laws in order to avoid entry of, or to promptly have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that could restrain, delay, or prevent the Closing; provided that such litigation in no way limits the obligation of Parent and Purchaser to promptly take all actions and steps to eliminate each and every impediment identified herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to propose, execute, carry out or agree or submit to any Remedial Action that (x) is not conditioned on the consummation of the Merger or (y) would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Acquired Companies (taken as a whole) or Parent and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) (assuming solely for this purpose that Parent and its Subsidiaries are the size of the Acquired Companies (taken as a whole)) (each, a “Burdensome Condition”). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances will Parent or its Affiliates be required to take any action under this Section 5.5 in connection with obtaining any consent, permit, authorization, waiver or clearance under the HSR Act or other Antitrust and FDI Laws with respect to their respective assets, businesses, relationships, contractual rights, obligations or arrangements.

(e) Parent agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its controlled Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire any assets, business or any Person, whether by merger, consolidation, licensing, purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any Person or by any other manner or engage in any other transaction or take any other action, if the entering into of an agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation, license or purchase or other transaction or action would reasonably be expected to materially delay, impede or prevent the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Regulatory Burden”).

5.6 Company Stock Awards

The offering or purchase period under the ESPP that would be in effect as of the Effective Time (the “Final Offering Period”) shall terminate no later than the day immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the Company shall cause the exercise date applicable to the Final Offering Period to accelerate and occur on the termination date of the ESPP with respect to any then-outstanding purchase rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall take all actions necessary or required under the ESPP and applicable Laws to ensure that (i) following the date of this Agreement, (x) except for any offering period in existence under the ESPP on the Agreement Date, no new offering period shall be commenced on or after the Agreement Date, (y) no new participants may commence participation in the ESPP and (z) no current participant in the ESPP may increase his or her rate of contribution under the ESPP and (ii) if the Closing shall occur prior to the end of any offering period in existence under the ESPP on the Agreement Date, cause any such offering period (and purchase period thereunder) then underway under the ESPP to be shortened, with the New Purchase Date (as defined in the ESPP) occurring no later than the last business day prior to the Effective Time and each such shortened offering period and purchase period treated as a fully effective and completed offering period and purchase period for all purposes under the ESPP and all amounts allocated to each participant’s account under the ESPP at the end of the Final Offering Period shall thereupon be used to purchase whole Shares under the terms of the ESPP for such offering period, which Shares shall be cancelled at the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.5 following the purchase of the Shares and the Company shall return to each participant the funds, if any, that remain in such participant’s account after such purchase. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the ESPP) that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.6(b).

Without limiting the foregoing:

(a) Each Continuing Employee shall be given service credit for all purposes, including for eligibility to participate, benefit levels (including levels of benefits under Parent’s and/or the Surviving Corporation’s vacation policy) and eligibility for vesting under Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation’s health and welfare benefit plans and arrangements in which such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate following the Effective Time, with respect to his or her length of service with the Company (and its predecessors) prior to the Effective Time to the same extent such service credit was taken into account under the corresponding Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to Effective Time, provided that the foregoing shall not result in the duplication of benefits or to benefit accrual under any pension plan.

(b) With respect to any accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation time to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to and instruct its Affiliates to, as applicable (and without duplication of benefits), assume, as of the Effective Time, the liability for such accrued personal, sick or vacation time and allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued personal, sick or vacation time in accordance with the practice and policies of the Company.

(c) For purposes of any health or welfare benefit plan of Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees, to the extent that such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods did not apply under the corresponding Employee Plan in which such employees participated prior to the Effective Time and (ii) ensure that such health or welfare benefit plan shall, for purposes of eligibility, vesting, deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums and allowances (including paid time off), credit Continuing Employees for service and amounts paid prior to the Effective Time with the Company (and its predecessors) under applicable Employee Plans for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs to the same extent that such service and amounts paid was recognized prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding Employee Plan of the Company.

(d) If annual bonuses in respect of the Company’s 2025 fiscal year have not been paid prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to and instruct its Affiliates to, pay each Continuing Employee a 2025 annual bonus in an amount equal to the annual bonus to which such Continuing Employee would be entitled based on the Company’s actual performance under the applicable bonus arrangements of the Company in effect as of the Agreement Date, with such bonus payments to be made no later than the second payroll date following the Closing Date.

(e) Upon the request of Parent in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing and contingent upon the Closing, the Company shall (i) take any and all necessary actions to terminate any Employee Plans that are intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Company 401(k) Plans”), (ii) provide Parent with a copy of any and all resolutions or other corporate action (the form and substance of which shall be subject to prior reasonable review and comment by Parent, which comments shall be considered by the Company in good faith) evidencing that any such plans will be terminated effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing and (iii) prior to and conditioned upon termination of any such plans, authorize through corporate resolution any and all necessary amendments to the plan documents to effect such terminations, fully vest affected participants, and comply with all requirements of applicable Law as of the effective date of such terminations; provided, that, the Company shall not take any further steps to effect any such plan terminations prior to the Closing.

(f) If Parent requests that the Company terminate the Company 401(k) Plan, Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, have in effect one or more defined contribution plans that qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (collectively, the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) that shall, as of the Closing Date, permit participation for the Continuing Employees, credit all service that was credited under the Company 401(k) Plan for purposes of the eligibility, vesting and match eligibility requirements of the Parent 401(k) Plan, provide for tax-deferred contributions pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Code and for the 90-day period following the Closing Date, accept elective direct rollovers of the Continuing Employees’ accounts (including any loans) under the Company 401(k) Plan.

(h) The provisions of this Section 5.7 are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 5.7 is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any Employee Plan or employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise nor limit or prohibit Parent or the Surviving Corporation from adopting, modifying, amending or terminating any Employee Plan or employee benefit plan and no current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.

5.8 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) All rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company existing in favor of those Persons who are directors or officers of the Company as of the Agreement Date or have been directors or officers of the Company in the past (the “Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company (as in effect as of the Agreement Date) and as provided in the written indemnification agreements between the Company and said Indemnified Persons in effect as of the Agreement Date and made available by the Company to Parent or Parent’s Representatives prior to the Agreement Date, shall survive the Merger and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of such Indemnified Persons, and shall be observed by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent available under Delaware or other applicable Laws for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, and any claim made pursuant to such rights within such six-year period shall continue to be subject to this Section 5.8(a) and the rights provided under this Section 5.8(a) until disposition of such claim.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation (together with their respective successors and assigns, the “Indemnifying Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Laws, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments or fines incurred by such Indemnified Person as an officer or director of the Company in connection with any pending or threatened Legal Proceeding based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of the Company at or prior to the Effective Time and pertaining to any and all matters pending, existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including any such matter arising under any claim with respect to the Transactions.

(c) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain, in effect, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the Agreement Date (an accurate and complete copy of which has been made available by the Company to Parent or Parent’s Representatives prior to the Agreement Date) for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons who are currently covered by such existing policy with respect to their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time in their capacities as directors and officers of the Company (as applicable), on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than the existing policy (or at or prior to the Effective Time, Parent or the Company may (through a nationally recognized insurance broker approved by Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)) purchase a six-year “tail” policy for the existing policy effective as of the Effective Time) and if such “tail policy” has been obtained, it shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain and/or maintain insurance pursuant to this Section 5.8(c); provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently payable by the Company with respect to such current policy, it being understood that if the annual premiums payable for such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, Parent shall be obligated to cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost equal to such amount.

(d) In the event Parent or 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 of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, or at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.8 shall survive the acceptance of Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer and the consummation of the Merger and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons and their successors, assigns and heirs and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. Unless required by applicable Law, this Section 5.8 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Offer Acceptance Time in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person or any of their successors, assigns or heirs without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Person.

5.9 Securityholder Litigation. The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any securityholder litigation brought against the Company and/or members of the Company Board or the Company’s officers (in their respective capacities as such) relating to the Transactions (“Transaction Litigation”). The Company shall control any Legal Proceeding brought by stockholders of the Company against the Company and/or its directors relating to the Transactions; provided that the Company shall give Parent the right to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with such Transaction Litigation, and the right to consult on the settlement with respect to such Transaction Litigation, and the Company shall in good faith take such comments into account. No such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

5.10 Disclosure. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release issued by, and whose form and content shall be agreed to by, the Company and Parent, and thereafter Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any further press release(s) or otherwise making any public statement or making any announcement to Company Associates (to the extent disclosure of the content thereof was not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement), in each case, with respect to the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement or any of the other Transactions and shall not issue any such press release, public statement or announcement to Company Associates without the other Party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

5.11 Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the Transactions, each of Parent and the Company and the members of their respective boards of directors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and conditions contemplated hereby and otherwise act to lawfully eliminate the effect of any Takeover Law on any of the Transactions.

5.12 Notice of Developments. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent (and shall subsequently keep Parent informed on a current basis of any developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 or Annex I not being able to be satisfied prior to the End Date.

5.13 Section 16 Matters. The Company, and the Company Board (or committee thereof), shall, to the extent necessary, take appropriate action, prior to or as of the Offer Acceptance Time, to approve, for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the disposition and cancellation or deemed disposition and cancellation of Shares and Company Stock Awards in the Transactions by applicable individuals and to cause such dispositions or cancellations to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Purchaser (or Parent on Purchaser’s behalf) shall have accepted for payment and paid for all of the Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not validly withdrawn; provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor Parent shall be entitled to assert the failure of this condition if, in breach of this Agreement or the terms of the Offer, Purchaser fails to acquire any Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

8.5 Applicable Laws; Jurisdiction; Specific Performance; Remedies.

(a) This Agreement and all disputes, actions or Legal Proceedings (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) based on, arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any laws, rules or provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Subject to Section 8.5(c), in any action or Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions: (i) each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware (it being agreed that the consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 8.5(a) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties); and (ii) each of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such Party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 8.8. The Parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or Legal Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Subject to the following sentence, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 8.5(a) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity, (ii) the provisions set forth in Section 7.3: (x) are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement; and (y) shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to specific enforcement and (iii) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.5(b) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights hereunder may be assigned without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any of such rights without such consent shall be void and of no effect; provided, further, however, that Parent or Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any of their Affiliates without consent (provided that such assignment shall not impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise impede the rights of the stockholders of the Company under this Agreement); provided that no such assignment or pledge permitted pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall relieve Parent or Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.
