ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON SECURITIES; EXCHANGE

2.1. Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of Iris, Meadow or Merger Sub:

(i) Merger Consideration. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares held in treasury, if any (each such Share, an “Excluded Share” and, collectively, “Excluded Shares”)) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Meadow Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the aggregate shares of Meadow Common Stock issued by applying the Exchange Ratio in accordance with this Section 2.1 and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Meadow Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e), the “Merger Consideration”).

(ii) At the Effective Time, all of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and (A) each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) and (B) each book-entry account formerly representing any uncertificated Shares (“Uncertificated Shares”) (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any distributions or dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Meadow Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e), without interest, in each case to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2, in the case of certificated Shares, and upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form in accordance with Section 2.2(h) in the case of Uncertificated Shares.

(iii) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Iris, Meadow, Merger Sub or the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(b) Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Surviving Company, and such converted shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Company immediately following the Effective Time.

(c) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. If, between the time of calculating the Exchange Ratio and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Iris Capital Stock or Meadow Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class or series of shares, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change, the Exchange Ratio shall, to the extent necessary, be equitably adjusted to reflect such change to the extent necessary to provide the holders of Iris Capital Stock with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change; provided, however, that nothing herein will be construed to permit Iris or Meadow to take any action with respect to Iris Capital Stock or Meadow Common Stock, respectively, that is prohibited or not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

2.2. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent and Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Meadow shall designate Computershare Trust Company, N.A., its transfer agent, as the exchange agent in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). The Exchange Agent shall also act as the agent for Xxxx’s stockholders for the purpose of receiving their surrendered Certificates and Uncertificated Shares and shall obtain no rights or interests in the Shares represented thereby. At the Closing, Meadow shall issue and cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent: evidence of book-entry shares representing non-certificated shares of Meadow Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.3. The shares of Meadow Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares of Meadow Common Stock, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five Business Days thereafter), the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Shares represented by a Certificate (other than holders of Excluded Shares) or Uncertificated Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(g)) or Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Meadow and Iris may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for surrendering the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(g)) or Uncertificated Shares (including instructions for sending an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request)) to the Exchange Agent. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.2(g)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal or with respect to Uncertificated Shares receipt of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such surrendered Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor non-certificated shares of Meadow Common Stock in book-entry form and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Meadow Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(c), less in each case any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.4. The Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until due surrender of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares, each Certificate and Uncertificated Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive shares of Meadow Common Stock (and any distributions or dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Meadow Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2(e)). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of Iris, the applicable portion of Merger Consideration to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate or Uncertificated Share pursuant to Section 2.1(a) may be issued and paid to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. All shares of Meadow Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Meadow in respect of the Meadow Common Stock, the record date for which is after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Meadow Common Stock issuable in the Merger. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Meadow Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger shall be paid to any holder of any un-surrendered Certificate or Uncertificated Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time until such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(g)) or Uncertificated Share is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(g)) or Uncertificated Share, there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the whole shares of Meadow Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest thereon, (a) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Meadow Common Stock and not paid and (b) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Meadow Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time, but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(d) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Xxxx of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Meadow Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Meadow. The Exchange Agent, acting as agent for the holders of Shares otherwise entitled to receive fractional shares of Meadow Common Stock, will aggregate all fractional shares of Meadow Common Stock that would otherwise have been required to be distributed and cause them to be sold in the open market for the accounts of such holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Shares who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Meadow Common Stock shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, rounded to the nearest whole cent and without interest, in an amount equal to the proceeds from such sale by the Exchange Agent, if any, less any reasonable brokerage commissions or other fees, transfer Taxes or other out-of-pocket transaction costs, as well as any expenses of the Exchange Agent incurred from the sale of such fractional shares of Meadow Common Stock in accordance with such holder’s fractional interest in the aggregate number of shares of Meadow Common Stock sold. The Parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares of Meadow Common Stock was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Meadow that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of Meadow Common Stock.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered, at Xxxxxx’s option, to Meadow. Any former holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with Section 2.2(b) shall thereafter look only to Meadow for delivery of any shares of Meadow Common Stock, payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and other distributions in respect of the Meadow Common Stock to be issued or paid pursuant to the provisions of this Article II (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.4) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(g)) or Uncertificated Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Company, Meadow, Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, immediately prior to the date any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, such Merger Consideration shall become the property of Meadow, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate representing Shares (other than Excluded Shares) that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time 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 Exchange Agent’s customary practices, the entry by such Person into an indemnification agreement in customary form providing an indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the cash in lieu of fractional shares, shares of Meadow Common Stock and any dividends and other distributions in respect of the Meadow Common Stock that would have been issuable or payable pursuant to the provisions of this Article II (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.4) had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

(h) Uncertificated Shares. Any holder of Uncertificated Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Meadow Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II in respect of such Uncertificated Shares. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more Uncertificated Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any distributions or dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Meadow Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e), shall, upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive, and Meadow and the Surviving Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Meadow Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) for each such Uncertificated Share, and such Uncertificated Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable to a holder of Uncertificated Shares.

2.3. Treatment of Equity Awards and Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, each (i) Iris Stock Incentive Plan and (ii) outstanding Iris Options, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed by Meadow. Each such Iris Option so assumed by Meadow under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions applicable to such Iris Options immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the full acceleration of vesting of such options applicable to the Iris Options in connection with the Closing), except that (A) such option will be exercisable for that number of shares of Meadow Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Iris Common Stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and rounded down to the next nearest share of Meadow Common Stock, and (B) the exercise price per share shall be the exercise price per share in effect for that option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio and rounded up to the next nearest cent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Meadow shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Meadow Common Stock for delivery of options assigned to and assumed by it in accordance with this Section 2.3(b).

(b) Any RSUs (vested or unvested) shall be distributed before the Effective Time in accordance with their terms and any Shares resulting therefrom shall be treated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No Iris RSUs shall be outstanding from and after the Effective Time.

(c) (i) Iris and the Iris Board shall take such actions as may be necessary, including providing advance written notice to each holder of options thereunder (“ESPP Options”), prior to the Effective Time such that: (i) the Purchase Periods and Offering Periods (each, as defined in the Iris ESPP) then in effect under the Iris ESPP shall be terminated by the Iris Board in accordance with the terms of the Iris ESPP and (ii) all outstanding ESPP Options shall be exercised to the extent of accumulated payroll deductions as of a date specified by the Iris Board in such notice, which date shall not be less than ten (10) days preceding the Effective Time. No ESPP Options shall be outstanding from and after the Effective Time.

(d) Further Action. Prior to the Effective Time, Iris and the Iris Board shall adopt any resolutions which are reasonably necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Iris Options and Iris RSUs (collectively, the “Iris Equity Awards”), and the Iris ESPP and the ESPP Options thereunder, set forth in clauses (a) through (c) of this Section 2.3 prior to the Effective Time. At or prior to the Effective Time, Iris shall terminate the Iris ESPP.

(e) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Meadow will file an appropriate registration statement on Form S-8 or other appropriate form with respect to the offering of the shares of Meadow Common Stock issuable upon vesting of the assumed Iris Options (the “S-8 Registration Statement”) and will use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the S-8 Registration Statement thereafter for so long as any of such Iris Options remain outstanding.

2.4. Withholding Rights. Each of Meadow, the Merger Sub, Iris, Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to Persons pursuant to this Agreement any amounts it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted by Meadow, the Merger Sub, Iris, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, to the applicable Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.5. Calculation of Meadow Net Cash.

(a) Not more than seven Business Days nor less than four Business Days prior to the anticipated date for Closing (as mutually agreed in good faith by Meadow and Iris) (the “Anticipated Closing Date”), Meadow will deliver to Iris a schedule (the “Meadow Net Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, Xxxxxx’s good faith estimated calculation of its Net Cash (the “Meadow Net Cash Calculation” and the date of delivery of such schedule, the “Meadow Delivery Date”) as of 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the last Business Day prior to the Anticipated Closing Date (the “Cash Determination Time”), prepared in accordance with GAAP and certified by Xxxxxx’s chief financial officer (or if there is no chief financial officer at such time, the principal financial and accounting officer of Meadow). Meadow shall make available to Iris, its accountants and/or counsel, the work papers and back-up materials used or useful in preparing the Meadow Net Cash Schedule, as reasonably requested by Xxxx (subject, in each case, to the execution of customary non-reliance, confidentiality or similar agreements).

(b) Within three Business Days following the Meadow Delivery Date (the last day of such period, the “Meadow Response Date”), Xxxx will have the right to dispute all or any part or parts of the Meadow Net Cash Calculation by delivering a written notice to that effect (a “Meadow Dispute Notice”) to Meadow. Any Meadow Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail (to the extent then known) the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the Meadow Net Cash Calculation.

(c) If (i) Iris notifies Meadow in writing on or prior to the Meadow Response Date that it has no objections to the Meadow Net Cash Calculation or (ii) Iris has failed to deliver a Meadow Dispute Notice as provided in Section 2.5(b) prior to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Meadow Response Date, then the Meadow Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Meadow Net Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent Xxxxxx’s Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time (the “Meadow Final Net Cash”) for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If Xxxx delivers a Meadow Dispute Notice prior to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Meadow Response Date, then Representatives of Meadow and Xxxx shall promptly, and in no event later than one calendar day after the Meadow Response Date, meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Xxxxxx’s Net Cash, which agreed-upon amount of Net Cash shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Meadow Final Net Cash for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If Representatives of Meadow and Xxxx are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Meadow Final Net Cash pursuant to Section 2.5(d) within two calendar days after delivery of the Meadow Dispute Notice (or such other period as Meadow and Iris may mutually agree upon in writing), then any remaining disagreements as to the calculation of Meadow’s Net Cash shall be referred to KPMG or another independent auditor of recognized national standing mutually agreed upon by Xxxxxx and Iris (the “Accounting Firm”). Xxxxxx shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm all work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Meadow Net Cash Schedule, and Iris shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm all work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Meadow Dispute Notice except, in each case, to the extent doing so could result in the loss of attorney client privilege or similar immunity or protection. Meadow and Xxxx shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within five calendar days of accepting its selection. Iris and Xxxxxx shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of Xxxx and Meadow. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of Meadow’s Net Cash made by the Accounting Firm shall be made in writing delivered to each of Iris and Meadow, shall be final and binding on Iris and Meadow and shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Meadow Final Net Cash for purposes of this Agreement, absent fraud or manifest error. The Parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 2.5(e). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated (and shall, to the extent allocable to Meadow, serve as a deduction from Meadow Final Net Cash) between Meadow and Iris in the same proportion that the disputed amount of Meadow’s Net Cash that was unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Net Cash amount and such portion of the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm borne by Meadow and any other fees, costs or expenses incurred by Meadow following the Meadow Delivery Date in connection with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5(e) shall be deducted from the final determination of the amount of Net Cash. If this Section 2.5(e) applies as to the determination of the Meadow Final Net Cash, upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 2.5(e), the Parties shall not be required to determine the Net Cash again even though the Closing Date may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date, except that either Party may require a re-determination of Meadow Final Net Cash if the Closing Date is more than ten calendar days after the Anticipated Closing Date.

2.6. Calculation of Iris Net Cash.

(a) Not more than seven Business Days nor less than four Business Days prior to Anticipated Closing Date, Xxxx will deliver to Meadow a schedule (the “Iris Net Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, Iris’s good faith estimated calculation of its Net Cash (the “Iris Net Cash Calculation” and the date of delivery of such schedule, the “Iris Delivery Date”) as of the Cash Determination Time, prepared in accordance with GAAP and certified by Xxxx’s chief financial officer (or if there is no chief financial officer at such time, the principal financial and accounting officer of Iris). Iris shall make available to Meadow, its accountants and/or counsel, the work papers and back-up materials used or useful in preparing the Iris Net Cash Schedule, as reasonably requested by Meadow (subject, in each case, to the execution of customary non-reliance, confidentiality or similar agreements).

(b) Within three Business Days following the Iris Delivery Date (the last day of such period, the “Iris Response Date”), Xxxxxx will have the right to dispute all or any part or parts of the Iris Net Cash Calculation by delivering a written notice to that effect (a “Iris Dispute Notice”) to Iris. Any Iris Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail (to the extent then known) the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the Iris Net Cash Calculation.

(c) If (i) Meadow notifies Xxxx in writing on or prior to the Iris Response Date that it has no objections to the Iris Net Cash Calculation or (ii) Meadow has failed to deliver an Iris Dispute Notice as provided in Section 2.6(b) prior to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Iris Response Date, then the Iris Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Iris Net Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent Xxxx’s Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time (the “Iris Final Net Cash”) for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If Meadow delivers an Iris Dispute Notice prior to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Iris Response Date, then Representatives of Xxxx and Meadow shall promptly, and in no event later than one calendar day after the Iris Response Date, meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Xxxx’s Net Cash, which agreed-upon amount of Net Cash shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Iris Final Net Cash for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If Representatives of Xxxx and Xxxxxx are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Iris Final Net Cash pursuant to Section 2.6(d) within two calendar days after delivery of the Iris Dispute Notice (or such other period as Iris and Meadow may mutually agree upon in writing), then any remaining disagreements as to the calculation of Xxxx’s Net Cash shall be referred to the Accounting Firm. Xxxx shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm all work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Iris Net Cash Schedule, and Meadow shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm all work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Iris Dispute Notice except, in each case, to the extent doing so could result in the loss of attorney client privilege or similar immunity or protection. Iris and Xxxxxx shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within five calendar days of accepting its selection. Meadow and Xxxx shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of Meadow and Xxxx. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of Net Cash made by the Accounting Firm shall be made in writing delivered to each of Meadow and Iris, shall be final and binding on Meadow and Iris and shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Iris Final Net Cash for purposes of this Agreement, absent fraud or manifest error. The Parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 2.6(e). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated (and shall, to the extent allocable to Iris, serve as a deduction from Iris Final Net Cash) between Iris and Meadow in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Net Cash that was unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Net Cash amount and such portion of the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm borne by Xxxx and any other fees, costs or expenses incurred by Iris following the Iris Delivery Date in connection with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.6(e) shall be deducted from the final determination of the amount of Net Cash. If this Section 2.6(e) applies as to the determination of the Iris Final Net Cash, upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 2.6(e), the Parties shall not be required to determine the Net Cash again even though the Closing Date may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date, except that either Party may require a re-determination of Iris Final Net Cash if the Closing Date is more than ten calendar days after the Anticipated Closing Date.

(ii) result in a violation or breach of, or give any Governmental Entity the right to exercise any remedy or obtain any relief under, any Law or any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree to which Iris or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of the assets owned by Iris or any of its Subsidiaries, is subject;

Assuming the accuracy of the representation set forth in Section 4.24, the Iris Board has taken all actions necessary to ensure that the restrictions applicable to business combinations contained in Section 203 of the DGCL are, and will be, inapplicable to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions. To Iris’s Knowledge, no other takeover statute or similar Law applies or purports to apply to the Merger, this Agreement, or any of the Contemplated Transactions.

3.6. SEC Documents; Financial Statements.

(a) Other than such documents that can be obtained on the SEC’s website at xxx.xxx.xxx, Xxxx has made available to Meadow accurate and complete copies of all registration statements, proxy statements, Iris Certifications (as defined below) and other statements, reports, schedules, forms and other documents filed by Xxxx with the SEC between January 1, 2020 and the date hereof (the “Iris SEC Documents”). Since the date of the Iris Balance Sheet, all material statements, reports, schedules, forms and other documents required to have been filed by Iris or its officers with the SEC have been so filed on a timely basis. As of the time it was filed with the SEC (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing), each of the Iris SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (as the case may be) and, as of the time they were filed, none of the Iris SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (or, in the case of an Iris SEC Document that is a registration statement, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, filed pursuant to the Securities Act, as of the date such registration statement or amendment became effective, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading); provided, however, that no representation is made as to the accuracy of any financial projections or forward-looking statements or the completeness of any information furnished by Xxxx to the SEC solely for the purposes of complying with Regulation FD promulgated under the Exchange Act. The certifications and statements required by (i) Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act and (ii) 18 U.S.C. §1350 (Section 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act) relating to the Iris SEC Documents (collectively, the “Iris Certifications”) are accurate and complete in all material respects and comply as to form and content in all material respects with all applicable Laws. As used in this Section 3.6, the term “file” and variations thereof shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.

(b) The financial statements (including any related notes) contained or incorporated by reference in the Iris SEC Documents: (i) complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto; (ii) were prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as may be indicated in the notes to such financial statements or, in the case of unaudited financial statements, except as permitted by the SEC on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act, and except that the unaudited financial statements may not contain footnotes and are subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments) applied on a consistent basis unless otherwise noted therein throughout the periods indicated; and (iii) fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of Iris and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows of Iris and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby. Other than as expressly disclosed in the Iris SEC Documents filed between January 1, 2020 and the date hereof there has been no material change in Iris’s accounting methods or principles that would be required to be disclosed in Iris’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

(c) As of the date of this Agreement, Iris is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable current listing and governance rules and regulations of Nasdaq.

(d) Iris maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and to provide reasonable assurance (i) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, (ii) that receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Iris Board and (iii) regarding prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Iris’s assets that could have a material effect on Iris’s financial statements.

(d) The Iris Benefit Plans which are “employee pension benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA and which are intended to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code have received determination or opinion letters from the IRS on which they may currently rely to the effect that such plans are qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the related trusts are exempt from federal income Taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code, respectively, or are covered by advisory or opinion letters with respect to a volume submitter or prototype plan, and, to Iris’s Knowledge, nothing has occurred that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the qualification of such Iris Benefit Plan or the tax exempt status of the related trust.

(e) None of Iris, any of its Subsidiaries or any Iris ERISA Affiliate has maintained, contributed to, been required to contribute to, or had any actual or contingent liability with respect to, (i) any “employee pension benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, (ii) any “multiemployer plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA), (iii) any “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of Section 413 of the Code), (iv) any “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA), or (v) any “voluntary employees beneficiary association” within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

Since January 1, 2020, all material contributions and premium payments required to have been timely made under any of the Iris Benefit Plans or by applicable Law (without regard to any waivers granted under Section 412 of the Code), have been timely made and neither Iris nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability for any such unpaid contributions with respect to any Iris Benefit Plan, all benefits accrued under any unfunded Iris Benefit Plan have been paid, accrued or otherwise adequately reserved in accordance with GAAP, and all reports, returns and similar documents required to be filed with any Governmental Entity or distributed to any plan participant have been timely filed or distributed.

(g) None of Iris or any of its Subsidiaries, or, to Iris’s Knowledge, any fiduciary, trustee or administrator of any Iris Benefit Plan, has engaged in, or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions will engage in, any transaction with respect to any Iris Benefit Plan which would subject any such Iris Benefit Plan, Iris or any of its Subsidiaries to a Tax, penalty or liability for a “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(i) Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will either alone or in connection with any other event(s), except with respect to acceleration of vesting on equity compensation and the Iris 401(k) Plan as described in this Agreement, (i) result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise) becoming due to or forgiveness of indebtedness for any current or former employee, director, officer, independent contractor or other service provider of Iris or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) increase any amount of compensation or benefits otherwise payable to any current or former employee, director, officer, independent contractor or other service provider of Iris or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, funding or vesting of any benefits under any Iris Benefit Plan, (iv) require any contribution or payment to fund any obligation under any Iris Benefit Plan or (v) limit the right to merge, amend or terminate any Iris Benefit Plan (or result in adverse consequences for so doing).

(j) Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (either alone or when combined with the occurrence of any other event, including a termination of employment) will result in the receipt or retention by any person who is a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) with respect to Iris and its Subsidiaries of any payment or benefit that is characterized as a “parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), determined without regard to the application of Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code.

(k) Each Iris Benefit Plan providing for deferred compensation that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) is, and has been, established, administered and maintained in material compliance in both form and operation with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Xxxx does not have any liability for nonreporting or underreporting of income subject to Section 409A of the Code.

Neither Iris nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material liability with respect to any misclassification of: (a) any Person as an independent contractor rather than as an employee, (b) any employee leased from another employer, or (c) any employee currently or formerly classified as exempt from overtime wages. No employees are employed on a work visa or work permit.

No event has occurred, and, to Iris’s Knowledge, no condition or circumstance exists, that would reasonably be expected directly or indirectly to give rise to or provide a basis for the commencement of any such strike, slowdown, work stoppage, lockout, union election petition, demand for recognition, or any similar activity or dispute.

(q) Neither Iris nor any of its Subsidiaries has failed to comply in all material respects with ERISA Sections 601 to 608 and Code Section 4980B and Iris has, for any relevant period, offered the requisite number of “full-time employees” group health coverage that is “affordable” and of “minimum value” (as such terms are defined by the employer shared responsibility provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act).

(r) No Iris Benefit Plan is or has been maintained outside the jurisdiction of the United States, or covers or covered any employee permanently residing or working outside the United States.

Since January 1, 2020, neither Iris nor its Subsidiaries has implemented any material workplace changes such as layoffs, furloughs, permanent office closures, or reductions in compensation, benefits or hours.

Iris and its Subsidiaries have promptly, thoroughly and impartially investigated all employment discrimination, sexual or other unlawful harassment, and retaliation allegations of, or against, any employee in accordance with applicable Law. With respect to each such allegation with potential merit, the applicable employer has taken prompt corrective action reasonably calculated to prevent further discrimination and harassment or retaliation, and neither Iris nor any of its Subsidiaries reasonably expects to incur any material Liability with respect to any such allegation.

(c) No funding, facilities or personnel of any Governmental Entity or any university, college, research institute or other educational or academic institution has been used, in whole or in part, to create any Iris Owned IP, except for any such funding or use of facilities or personnel that does not result in such Governmental Entity or institution obtaining ownership or other rights (including any “march in” rights or a right to direct the location of manufacturing of products) to such Iris Owned IP or the right to receive royalties or other consideration for the practice of such Iris Owned IP.

(d) Section 3.15(d) of the Iris Disclosure Schedule sets forth each license agreement pursuant to which Iris or any of its Subsidiaries (i) is granted a license under any material Intellectual Property Right owned by any third party that is used by Iris or any of its Subsidiaries in its business as currently conducted (each an “Iris In-bound License”) or (ii) grants to any third party a license under any material Iris IP or any material Intellectual Property Right licensed to Iris or any of its Subsidiaries under an Iris In-bound License (each an “Iris Out-bound License”) (provided, that, the Iris In-bound Licenses shall not include clinical trial agreements, services agreements, non-disclosure agreements, commercially available software-as-a-service offerings, off-the-shelf software licenses or generally available patent license agreements entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business on a non-exclusive basis; and the Iris Out-bound Licenses shall not include clinical trial agreements, services agreements, non-disclosure agreements, or non-exclusive outbound licenses entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business on a non-exclusive basis and that do not grant any commercial rights to any products or services of Iris or any of its Subsidiaries).

(e) To Iris’s Knowledge, the Iris Products and the operation of the business of Iris and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted do not infringe any valid and enforceable patent of an Intellectual Property Right of any other Person, that is not licensed to Iris or any of its Subsidiaries under an Iris In-bound License, or misappropriate or otherwise violate any other Intellectual Property Right owned by any other Person, and no other Person is infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating any Iris IP or any material Intellectual Property Rights exclusively licensed to Iris or any of its Subsidiaries (“Iris In-Licensed IP”). As of the date of this Agreement, no Legal Proceeding is pending (or is threatened in writing) (A) against Iris or any of its Subsidiaries alleging that the operation of the businesses of Iris or its Subsidiaries infringes or constitutes the misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property Rights of another Person or (B) by Iris or any of its Subsidiaries alleging that another Person has infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any of the Iris IP or any Iris In-Licensed IP. Between January 1, 2020 and the date hereof, neither Iris nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice or other written communication alleging that the operation of the businesses of Iris or any of its Subsidiaries infringes or constitutes the misappropriation or other violation of any Intellectual Property Right of another Person.

(f) None of the Iris IP or, to Iris’s Knowledge, any Iris In-Licensed IP is subject to any pending or outstanding injunction, directive, order, judgment or other disposition of dispute that adversely and materially restricts the use, transfer, registration or licensing by Iris or any of its Subsidiaries of any such Iris IP or Iris In-Licensed IP.

(g) None of Iris or its Subsidiaries is now or has ever been a member or promoter of, or a contributor to, any industry standards body or any similar organization that would reasonably be expected to require or obligate Iris or any of its Subsidiaries to grant or offer to any other Person any license or right to any Iris IP.

(h) The operation of Iris’s and its Subsidiaries’ business are in substantial compliance with all applicable Laws pertaining to data privacy and data security of any personally identifiable information and sensitive business information (collectively, “Iris Sensitive Data”), except to the extent that such noncompliance has not and would not have an Iris Material Adverse Effect.

Since the date of the Meadow Balance Sheet, all material statements, reports, schedules, forms and other documents required to have been filed by Meadow or its officers with the SEC have been so filed on a timely basis. As of the time it was filed with the SEC (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing), each of the Meadow SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (as the case may be) and, as of the time they were filed, none of the Meadow SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (or, in the case of a Meadow SEC Document that is a registration statement, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, filed pursuant to the Securities Act, as of the date such registration statement or amendment became effective, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading); provided, however, that no representation is made as to the accuracy of any financial projections or forward-looking statements or the completeness of any information furnished by Xxxxxx to the SEC solely for the purposes of complying with Regulation FD promulgated under the Exchange Act. The certifications and statements required by (i) Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act and (ii) 18 U.S.C. §1350 (Section 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act) relating to the Meadow SEC Documents (collectively, the “Meadow Certifications”) are accurate and complete in all material respects and comply as to form and content in all material respects with all applicable Laws. As used in this Section 4.6, the term “file” and variations thereof shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.

(b) The financial statements (including any related notes) contained or incorporated by reference in the Meadow SEC Documents: (i) complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto; (ii) were prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as may be indicated in the notes to such financial statements or, in the case of unaudited financial statements, except as permitted by the SEC on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act, and except that the unaudited financial statements may not contain footnotes and are subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments) applied on a consistent basis unless otherwise noted therein throughout the periods indicated; and (iii) fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of Meadow and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows of Meadow and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby.

(c) As of the date of this Agreement, Meadow is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable current listing and governance rules and regulations of Nasdaq.

Meadow has evaluated the effectiveness of Meadow’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, and, to the extent required by applicable Law, presented in any applicable Meadow SEC Document that is a report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q (or any amendment thereto) its conclusions about the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by such report or amendment based on such evaluation. Xxxxxx has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to Xxxxxx’s auditors and audit committee (and made available to Iris a summary of the significant aspects of such disclosure) (A) all significant deficiencies, if any, in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect Xxxxxx’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (B) any known fraud that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Meadow’s internal control over financial reporting. Meadow has not identified, based on its most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, any material weaknesses in the design or operation of Meadow’s internal control over financial reporting.

(e) Meadow maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Xxxxxx in the periodic reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to Meadow’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the Meadow Certifications.

4.7. Absence of Changes. Except (a) for reasonable and good faith actions or omissions taken to comply with applicable Law or guidance by Governmental Entity in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic or (b) as contemplated or permitted by or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, between the date of Xxxxxx’s latest consolidated unaudited balance sheet (the “Meadow Balance Sheet”) and the date of this Agreement, Xxxxxx has conducted its business in the Ordinary Course of Business in all material respects (except for the execution and performance of this Agreement and the discussions, negotiations and transactions related thereto, including the Contemplated Transactions) and there has not been any (i) Meadow Material Adverse Effect (disregarding for purposes of this Section 4.7 clause (2) of the definition thereof) or (ii) action, event or occurrence that would have required the consent of Iris pursuant to Section 5.1(b) (other than paragraphs (ii), (vi) and (xi) of Section 5.1(b) and paragraph (xiv) as it relates to paragraphs (ii), (vi) and (xi) of Section 5.1(b)) had such action, event or occurrence taken place after the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(e) None of Meadow, any of its Subsidiaries or any Meadow ERISA Affiliate has maintained, contributed to, been required to contribute to, or had any actual or contingent liability with respect to, (i) any “employee pension benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, (ii) any “multiemployer plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA), (iii) any “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of Section 413 of the Code), (iv) any “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA) or (v) any “voluntary employees beneficiary association” within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

Since January 1, 2020, all material contributions and premium payments required to have been timely made under any of the Meadow Benefit Plans or by applicable Law (without regard to any waivers granted under Section 412 of the Code), have been timely made and neither Meadow nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability for any such unpaid contributions with respect to any Meadow Benefit Plan, all benefits accrued under any unfunded Meadow Benefit Plan have been paid, accrued or otherwise adequately reserved in accordance with GAAP, and all reports, returns and similar documents required to be filed with any Governmental Entity or distributed to any plan participant have been timely filed or distributed.

(g) None of Meadow or any of its Subsidiaries, or, to Meadow’s Knowledge, any fiduciary, trustee or administrator of any Meadow Benefit Plan, has engaged in, or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions will engage in, any transaction with respect to any Meadow Benefit Plan which would subject any such Meadow Benefit Plan, Meadow or any of its Subsidiaries to a material Tax, penalty or liability for a “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(h) No Meadow Benefit Plan provides death, medical, dental, vision, life insurance or other welfare benefits beyond termination of service or retirement, other than coverage mandated by Law or at the participant or beneficiary’s sole expense or, as described in Section 4.12(h) of the Meadow Disclosure Schedule, as provided with respect to continuation health coverage as part of severance, and none of Meadow or any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation to provide (whether under a Meadow Benefit Plan or otherwise) nor has made a written or oral representation promising the same.

(i) Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will either alone or in connection with any other event(s) (i) result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise) becoming due to or forgiveness of indebtedness for any current or former employee, director, officer, independent contractor or other service provider of Meadow or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) increase any amount of compensation or benefits otherwise payable to any current or former employee, director, officer, independent contractor or other service provider of Meadow or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, funding or vesting of any benefits under any Meadow Benefit Plan, (iv) require any contribution or payment to fund any obligation under any Meadow Benefit Plan or (v) limit the right to merge, amend or terminate any Meadow Benefit Plan (or result in adverse consequences for so doing).

(j) Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (either alone or when combined with the occurrence of any other event, including a termination of employment) will result in the receipt or retention by any person who is a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) with respect to Meadow and its Subsidiaries of any payment or benefit that is characterized as a “parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), determined without regard to the application of Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code.

(k) Each Meadow Benefit Plan providing for deferred compensation that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) is, and has been, established, administered and maintained in material compliance in both form and operation with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Xxxxxx does not have any liability for nonreporting or underreporting of income subject to Section 409A of the Code.

(l) No Person has any “gross up” agreements with Meadow or any of its Subsidiaries or other assurance of reimbursement by Xxxxxx or any of its Subsidiaries for any Taxes imposed under Section 409A or Section 4999 of the Code.

(m) There are, and since January 1, 2020, there have been, no actual, threatened or pending negotiations, strikes, labor disputes, work stoppages, requests for representation, pickets, work slow-downs due to labor disagreements or any Proceedings or arbitrations that involve the labor or employment relations of Meadow or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither Meadow nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by, or has a duty to bargain under, any collective bargaining agreement or other Contract with a labor union or labor organization representing any of its employees, and there is no labor union or labor organization representing or, to Meadow’s Knowledge, purporting to represent or seeking to represent any employees of Meadow or its Subsidiaries, including through the filing of a petition for representation election.

In addition, each of Meadow and its applicable Subsidiary has a valid leasehold interest in (or a valid right to use and occupy) the Meadow Leased Real Property, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. To Xxxxxx’s Knowledge, neither the whole nor any part of the Meadow Leased Real Property is subject to any pending suit for condemnation or other taking by any Governmental Entity, and no such condemnation or other taking is threatened or contemplated.

(ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations or cooperate in any way with any Person regarding any Iris Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Iris Acquisition Proposal;

(iii) provide any non-public information or data concerning Iris or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person in connection with any Iris Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Iris Acquisition Proposal or for the purpose of soliciting, initiating, inducing, encouraging or facilitating an Iris Acquisition Proposal;

As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Xxxx shall deliver a written notice to each Person that entered into a confidentiality agreement in anticipation of potentially making an Iris Acquisition Proposal within the last 12 months, to the effect that Xxxx is ending all discussions and negotiations with such Person with respect to any such Xxxx Acquisition Proposal effective as of the date hereof and requesting the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to such Person. Xxxx shall take all actions necessary to enforce its rights under the provisions of any “standstill” agreement between Iris and any Person (other than Meadow), and shall not grant any waiver of, or agree to any amendment or modification to, any such agreement, to permit such Person to submit an Iris Acquisition Proposal, unless in any such case the Iris Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such actions would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(b) Fiduciary Exception to No Solicitation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.2(a), prior to the time, but not after, the Iris Stockholder Approval is obtained, Iris may, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Iris Acquisition Proposal (which Iris Acquisition Proposal was made after the date of this Agreement and has not been withdrawn) which did not result from a breach of this Section 5.2 and so long as at least three Business Days prior it has provided written notice to Meadow of the identity of such Person or group making the Iris Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Iris Acquisition Proposal (including, if applicable, copies of any material written communications) and its intention to engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person or group, (i) provide access to non-public information regarding Iris or any of its Subsidiaries to the Person or group making the Iris Acquisition Proposal (provided that such information has previously been made available to Meadow or is provided to Meadow substantially concurrently with the making of such information available to such Person or group and that, prior to furnishing any such non-public information, Xxxx receives from the Person or group making such Iris Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement with terms at least as restrictive in all material respects (including with respect to confidentiality and restrictions on use) on such Person(s) as the Confidentiality Agreement’s terms are on Meadow (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not prohibit the making or amending of an Iris Acquisition Proposal), and (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person or group regarding such Iris Acquisition Proposal if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Iris Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel that (x) such Iris Acquisition Proposal either constitutes an Iris Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in an Iris Superior Proposal and (y) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c) Notice. Iris shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Meadow (orally and in writing) if (i) any written or other inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Iris Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries, proposals, offers or requests for information relating to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Iris Acquisition Proposal are received by Iris, (ii) any Person requests non-public information from Iris in connection with any Iris Acquisition Proposal (provided that Iris shall only be required to provide notice once per Person under this clause (ii)) or (iii) any discussions or negotiations with respect to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Iris Acquisition Proposal are sought to be initiated with Xxxx, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements and other material written communications or, if oral, a summary of the material terms and conditions of such proposal or offer), and thereafter shall keep Meadow informed, on a current basis (and in any event within 24 hours), of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including by promptly providing copies of any additional requests, proposals or offers, including any drafts of proposed agreements and any amendments thereto and other information set forth above. Xxxx agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits Iris from providing any information to Meadow in accordance with this Section 5.2 or otherwise prohibits Iris from complying with its obligations under this Section 5.2. Xxxx further agrees that it will not provide information to any Person pursuant to any confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement unless such Person agrees prior to receipt of such information to waive any provision that would prohibit Iris from providing any information to Meadow in accordance with this Section 5.2 or otherwise prohibit Xxxx from complying with its obligations under this Section 5.2.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.2(e), following receipt of an unsolicited, bona fide written Iris Acquisition Proposal by Xxxx after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.2 and with respect to which Xxxx has received a written, definitive form of Iris Alternative Acquisition Agreement that has not been withdrawn, and the Iris Board determining in good faith, after consultation with outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Iris Acquisition Proposal constitutes an Iris Superior Proposal, the Iris Board may, at any time prior to the time the Iris Stockholder Approval is obtained, make an Iris Change in Recommendation, if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) Xxxx shall have complied in all material respects with the provisions of this Section 5.2 with respect to such Iris Acquisition Proposal and shall have (A) provided to Meadow four Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall state expressly (1) that it has received a written Iris Acquisition Proposal that constitutes an Iris Superior Proposal, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Iris Acquisition Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the Person or group making the Iris Acquisition Proposal), including an unredacted copy of the Iris Alternative Acquisition Agreement and all other written documents and a summary of the material terms of oral communications related to the Iris Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term or condition of such Iris Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional two Business Day period) and (3) that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Iris Board has determined to effect an Iris Change in Recommendation, and (B) prior to making such an Iris Change in Recommendation, (x) engaged in good faith negotiations with Meadow (to the extent Meadow wishes to engage) during such notice period to consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that may be proposed in writing by Meadow such that the Iris Alternative Acquisition Agreement ceases to constitute an Iris Superior Proposal, and (y) in determining whether to make an Iris Change in Recommendation, the Iris Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Xxxxxx; and

(ii) the Iris Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Iris Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms proposed in writing by Xxxxxx, such Iris Superior Proposal continues to constitute an Iris Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Iris Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g) Iris Change in Recommendation Due to Iris Intervening Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.2(e), upon the occurrence of any Iris Intervening Event, the Iris Board may, at any time prior to the time the Iris Stockholder Approval is obtained, make an Iris Change in Recommendation, if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) Iris shall have (A) provided to Meadow four Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Iris Intervening Event and the rationale for the Iris Change in Recommendation (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the facts and circumstances relating to the Iris Intervening Event shall require a new notice and an additional two Business Day period), and (2) state expressly that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Iris Board has determined to effect an Iris Change in Recommendation and (B) prior to making such an Iris Change in Recommendation, engaged in good faith negotiations with Meadow (to the extent Meadow wishes to engage) during such four Business Day period to consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that may be proposed in writing by Meadow in such a manner that the failure of the Iris Board to make an Iris Change in Recommendation in response to the Iris Intervening Event in accordance with clause (ii) below would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(ii) the Iris Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that in light of such Iris Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms proposed in writing by Xxxxxx, the failure to make an Iris Change in Recommendation, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(h) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to prohibit Iris from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Iris Acquisition Proposal; provided that any “stop look and listen” communication to its stockholders of the nature contemplated by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act shall include an affirmative statement to the effect that the recommendation of the Iris Board is affirmed or remains unchanged; provided, further, that this Section 5.2(h) shall not be deemed to permit Iris or the Iris Board to effect an Iris Change in Recommendation except in accordance with Sections 5.2(f) or 5.2(g). Iris shall not submit to the vote of its stockholders any Iris Acquisition Proposal or Iris Superior Proposal prior to the termination of this Agreement.

5.3. Meadow Acquisition Proposals; Meadow Change in Recommendation.

(a) No Solicitation or Negotiation. During the Pre-Closing Period, except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.3, Meadow shall not, and Meadow shall cause its and its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers and employees not to, and shall cause its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

(ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations or cooperate in any way with any Person regarding any Meadow Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Meadow Acquisition Proposal;

(iii) provide any non-public information or data concerning Meadow or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person in connection with any Meadow Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Meadow Acquisition Proposal or for the purpose of soliciting, initiating, inducing, encouraging or facilitating a Meadow Acquisition Proposal;

(v) adopt, approve or recommend or make any public statement approving or recommending any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Meadow Acquisition Proposal (including by approving any transaction, or approving any Person becoming an “interested stockholder,” for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL);

(vi) take any action or exempt any Person (other than Iris and its Subsidiaries) from the restriction on “business combinations” or any similar provision contained in applicable takeover laws or the Meadow’s organizational or other governing documents; or

(vii) publicly propose, resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Meadow shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussions and negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Meadow Acquisition Proposal, or inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Meadow Acquisition Proposal and shall promptly terminate access by any such Person to any physical or electronic data rooms relating to any such Meadow Acquisition Proposal. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Xxxxxx shall deliver a written notice to each Person that entered into a confidentiality agreement in anticipation of potentially making a Meadow Acquisition Proposal within the last 12 months, to the effect that Xxxxxx is ending all discussions and negotiations with such Person with respect to any such Meadow Acquisition Proposal effective as of the date hereof and requesting the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to such Person. Xxxxxx shall take all actions necessary to enforce its rights under the provisions of any “standstill” agreement between Meadow and any Person (other than Iris), and shall not grant any waiver of, or agree to any amendment or modification to, any such agreement, to permit such Person to submit a Meadow Acquisition Proposal, unless in any such case the Meadow Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such actions would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(b) Fiduciary Exception to No Solicitation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.3(a), prior to the time, but not after, the Meadow Stockholder Approval is obtained, Meadow may, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Meadow Acquisition Proposal (which Meadow Acquisition Proposal was made after the date of this Agreement and has not been withdrawn) which did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3 and so long as at least three Business Days prior it has provided written notice to Iris of the identity of such Person or group making the Meadow Acquisition Proposal , the material terms and conditions of such Meadow Acquisition Proposal (including, if applicable, copies of any material written communications) and its intention to engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person or group, (i) provide access to non-public information regarding Meadow or any of its Subsidiaries to the Person or group making the Meadow Acquisition Proposal; provided that such information has previously been made available to Iris or is provided to Iris substantially concurrently with the making of such information available to such Person or group and that, prior to furnishing any such non-public information, Xxxxxx receives from the Person or group making such Meadow Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement with terms at least as restrictive in all material respects (including with respect to confidentiality and restrictions on use) on such Person(s) as the Confidentiality Agreement’s terms are on Iris (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not prohibit the making or amending of a Meadow Acquisition Proposal), and (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person or group regarding such Meadow Acquisition Proposal if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Meadow Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel that (x) such Meadow Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Meadow Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Meadow Superior Proposal and (y) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c) Notice. Meadow shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Iris (orally and in writing) if (i) any written or other inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to a Meadow Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries, proposals, offers or requests for information relating to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Meadow Acquisition Proposal are received by Meadow, (ii) any Person requests non-public information from Meadow in connection with any Meadow Acquisition Proposal (provided that Meadow shall only be required to provide notice once per Person under this clause (ii)) or (iii) any discussions or negotiations with respect to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Meadow Acquisition Proposal are sought to be initiated with Meadow, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements and other material written communications or, if oral, a summary of the material terms and conditions of such proposal or offer), and thereafter shall keep Iris reasonably informed, on a current basis (and in any event within 24 hours), of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including by promptly providing copies of any additional requests, proposals or offers, including any drafts of proposed agreements and any amendments thereto and other information set forth above. Xxxxxx agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits Meadow from providing any information to Iris in accordance with this Section 5.3 or otherwise prohibits Meadow from complying with its obligations under this Section 5.3. Xxxxxx further agrees that it will not provide information to any Person pursuant to any confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement unless such Person agrees prior to receipt of such information to waive any provision that would prohibit Meadow from providing any information to Iris in accordance with this Section 5.3 or otherwise prohibit Meadow from complying with its obligations under this Section 5.3.

5.6. Regulatory Approvals and Related Matters.

Any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the other Party. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be directed in writing to an executive officer of Iris or Meadow, as applicable, or such Person as may be designated by any such executive officer.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, each of Meadow and the Surviving Company shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time a director or officer of Iris or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Person”) against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), liabilities, losses, judgments, fines (including excise taxes and penalties arising under XXXXX), and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of Xxxx), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Person is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of Iris, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of Xxxx, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that Xxxx would be required to indemnify such person under the DGCL, Iris’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) or the D&O Indemnification Agreement with such person. Each Indemnified Person will be entitled to advancement of expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom from each of Meadow and the Surviving Company to the fullest extent that Iris would be required to advance expenses to such person under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Iris or the D&O Indemnification Agreement with such person, within 10 Business Days of receipt by Meadow or the Surviving Company from the Indemnified Person of a request therefor; provided, that any Indemnified Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, to the extent required by the DGCL in the event that Xxxx was providing the advancement, to repay such advances if it is determined by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal) that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification under applicable Law.

(b) Meadow shall cause all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement by Iris and its Subsidiaries existing in favor of the Indemnified Persons for their acts and omissions as directors and officers of Iris or any of its Subsidiaries occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in Iris’s or its applicable Subsidiary’s Organizational Documents (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) and as provided in any indemnification agreements between Iris and said Indemnified Persons (as such agreements are in effect as of the date of this Agreement) to survive the Merger and be observed by the Surviving Company to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law for a period of six years from the date on which the Merger becomes effective, which provisions governing such rights shall not be amended, repealed, abrogated or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any Indemnified Persons.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Meadow shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, with an effective date as of the Closing Date, on commercially available terms and conditions and with coverage limits customary for U.S. public companies similarly situated to Meadow. Prior to the Effective Time, Xxxx shall purchase a six year “tail policy” for the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Iris as of the date of this Agreement in the form made available by Iris to Meadow prior to the date of this Agreement at an annualized premium not to exceed 300% of the annual premiums currently paid by Iris for such insurance. The costs of such tail policy will be split evenly between Iris and Meadow, and the portion paid for by Xxxxxx will be treated as a Transaction Expense of Meadow hereunder.

(d) In the event Meadow or Iris 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, (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, (iii) consummates any division transaction or (iv) engages in any similar transaction, then, and in each such case, Meadow and any of its successors and assigns shall ensure that the successors and assigns of Meadow or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.13.

(e) If any Indemnified Person makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 5.13 that is denied by Xxxxxx and/or Iris or the Surviving Company, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Person is entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses, then Meadow, Iris or the Surviving Company shall pay the Indemnified Person’s costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with pursuing his or her claims to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.13 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to any Indemnified Party by law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons, their heirs and their representatives.

5.14. Takeover Statute. Iris and the Iris Board and Meadow and the Meadow Board shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to (a) take all action reasonably appropriate to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions and (b) if any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, take all action reasonably appropriate to ensure that the Contemplated Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Contemplated Transactions.

5.15. Control of Iris’s or Meadow’s Operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Meadow or Iris, directly or indirectly, rights to control or direct the operations of the other prior to the Effective Time.

The Persons listed in Exhibit D under the heading “Board Designees – Meadow” shall be Xxxxxx’s designees pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 5.16(a) (which list may be changed by Xxxxxx at any time prior to the Closing by written notice to Xxxx to include different board designees who are reasonably acceptable to Xxxx).

5.18. Approval by Sole Stockholder of Merger Sub. Immediately (and in any event with 24 hours) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parties, Meadow, as sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger, in accordance with Delaware Law, by written consent.

5.19. Stockholder Litigation. Each Party shall notify the other Party, in writing and promptly after acquiring knowledge thereof, of any litigation related to this Agreement, the Merger or the other Contemplated Transactions that is brought against or, to the Knowledge of Iris or Meadow, threatened against, either Party, either Party’s Subsidiaries and/or any of their respective directors or officers and shall keep the other Party informed on a reasonably current basis with respect to the status thereof. Each Party shall provide the other Party (a) the opportunity to participate in the defense of any such Legal Proceedings and (b) the right to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Parties in connection with any such Legal Proceedings (and the Parties shall in good faith take such comments and other advice into consideration). The Parties agree to cooperate in the defense and settlement of any such litigation, and neither Party shall settle any such litigation without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that such other Party will not be obligated to consent to any settlement that does not include a full release of the litigating Party and such Party’s Affiliates or that imposes an injunction or other equitable relief upon the litigating Party or any of its Affiliates. Without limiting in any way the Parties’ obligations under Section 5.6, each of Iris and Meadow shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate in the defense or settlement of any litigation contemplated by this Section 5.19.

(b) Iris shall use its reasonable best efforts to, and cause its Subsidiaries to, cause the Merger to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. Iris shall not take any action (or fail to take any action, including failing to use its reasonable best efforts to proscribe any of its Subsidiaries from taking any action) that could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede such qualification.

(c) Unless otherwise required pursuant to a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any analogous provision of applicable state, local or foreign Law, (i) each of the Parties shall report the Merger for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code in all Tax Returns, and (ii) none of the Parties shall take any Tax reporting position inconsistent with the characterization of the Contemplated Transactions as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.

The party responsible under applicable Law shall file any necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, each of Meadow, Iris and their respective Affiliates shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns.

5.21. Employee Matters.

(a) For twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (or, if earlier, until the termination date of a Current Employee, as defined below), Meadow shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain for each individual employed by Iris or any of its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time (each, a “Current Employee”), to the extent they continue to be employed by Meadow or the Surviving Company: (i) base salary or wage and cash incentive compensation opportunities at least as favorable, as to each element, as that provided to similarly situated employees of Meadow and (ii) benefits, including severance benefits, that are at least as favorable, in the aggregate, to those benefits maintained for and/or provided to similarly situated employees of Meadow.

(b) Meadow shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, cause service rendered by each Current Employee to Iris or any of its Subsidiaries (or its or their predecessors) prior to the Effective Time to be taken into account with respect to employee benefit plans of Meadow, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Surviving Company for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits and vesting, to the same extent as such service was taken into account under an Iris Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing will not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs, Meadow shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts to waive for the Current Employees any eligibility requirements, waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements or pre-existing condition limitations under any health plan of Meadow, any of its Subsidiaries and/or the Surviving Company.

(c) If requested by Xxxxxx, Iris shall, at least one (1) day prior to the Effective Time, (i) adopt written resolutions (or take other necessary and appropriate actions) to terminate each Iris Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Iris 401(k) Plan”), (ii) adopt written resolutions (or take other necessary and appropriate actions) to amend the Iris 401(k) Plan to cease any new contributions or transfers to the Iris stock fund thereunder immediately prior to termination of the Iris 401(k) Plan, (iii) cease all contributions to the Iris 401(k) Plan for any compensation paid after such termination date, (iv) one hundred percent (100%) vest all participants under the Iris 401(k) Plan, with such termination, cessation and vesting to be effective no later than the day preceding the Effective Time and (v) provide Meadow with a copy of such resolutions for review and comment at least five (5) business days prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Without limiting the generality of this Section 5.21, no provision of this Agreement (i) prohibits Meadow, Iris or the Surviving Company from amending, modifying or terminating any Iris Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, contract, agreement, policy or arrangement in a manner that does not conflict with or contravene the obligations of Meadow, Iris, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates under this Section 5.21, (ii) requires Meadow or the Surviving Company to keep any Person employed or otherwise providing services for any period of time, or (iii) constitutes or shall be construed to constitute the establishment or adoption of, or amendment to, any Iris Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, contract, agreement, policy or arrangement. This Section 5.21 shall not confer upon any Current Employee or any other Person (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) not a party to this Agreement any third-party beneficiary or similar rights or remedies.

5.22. Obligations of Merger Sub and Surviving Company. Xxxxxx will take all action necessary to cause each of Merger Sub and the Surviving Company to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement before and after the Effective Time.

STOCKHOLDERS

1.1. Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President or, if not so designated, at the principal office of the corporation. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in a manner consistent with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

1.2. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date and at a time designated by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President (which date shall not be a legal holiday in the place where the meeting is to be held).

1.3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by only the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President, and may not be called by any other person or persons. The Board of Directors may postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

1.4. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to stockholders, any notice shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to (in a manner consistent with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, if any, date and time of the meeting and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting. The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If notice is given by mail, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed given at the time specified in Section 232 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

1.5. Voting List. The Secretary shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a physical location (and not solely by means of remote communication), then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. The list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

1.6. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated Bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of capital stock is required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

1.7. Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned from time to time to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Amended and Restated Bylaws by the chairman of the meeting or by the stockholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum. It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment of less than 30 days if the time and place, if any, of the adjourned meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which adjournment is taken, unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

1.8. Voting and Proxies. Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote held of record by such stockholder and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or to express consent or dissent to corporate action without a meeting, may vote or express such consent or dissent in person (including by means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) or may authorize another person or persons to vote or act for such stockholder by a proxy executed or transmitted in a manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized agent and delivered (including by electronic transmission) to the Secretary of the corporation. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period.

1.9. Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, any matter other than the election of directors to be voted upon by the stockholders at such meeting shall be decided by the vote of the holders of shares of stock having a majority in voting power of the votes cast by the holders of all of the shares of stock present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter (or if there are two or more classes or series of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class or series, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of that class or series present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter), except when a different vote is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated Bylaws. When a quorum is present at any meeting, any election by stockholders of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election.

1.10. Conduct of Meetings.

(a) Chairman of Meeting. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the Chairman’s absence by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the Vice Chairman’s absence by the Chief Executive Officer, or in the Chief Executive Officer’s absence, by the President, or in the President’s absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of all of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen by vote of the stockholders at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the Secretary’s absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

(b) Rules, Regulations and Procedures. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders of the corporation as it shall deem appropriate including, without limitation, such guidelines and procedures as it may deem appropriate regarding the participation by means of remote communication of stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules, regulations and procedures as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as shall be determined; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

1.11. Action without Meeting.

(a) Taking of Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on such action were present and voted. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, stockholders may act by written consent to elect directors; provided, however, that, if such consent is less than unanimous, such action by written consent may be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by such action.

(b) Electronic Transmission of Consents. A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this Section 1.11(b), provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (i) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on delivery, consents given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission may be otherwise delivered to the principal place of business of the corporation or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded if, to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the Board of Directors. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

(c) Notice of Taking of Corporate Action. Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the corporation.

2.14. Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent to the action in writing or by electronic transmission, and the written consents or electronic transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.

Each such committee shall keep minutes and make such reports as the Board of Directors may from time to time request. Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the directors or in such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these Amended and Restated Bylaws for the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Amended and Restated Bylaws, or the resolution of the Board of Directors designating the committee, a committee may create one or more subcommittees, each subcommittee to consist of one or more members of the committee, and delegate to a subcommittee any or all of the powers and authority of the committee.

2.16. Compensation of Directors. Directors may be paid such compensation for their services and such reimbursement for expenses of attendance at meetings as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

Such record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and such record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 10 days after the date of adoption of a record date for a consent without a meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action to which such record date relates.

If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the day on which the meeting is held. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first consent is properly delivered to the corporation. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating to such purpose.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

5.4. Voting of Securities. Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise designate, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Treasurer may waive notice of, vote, or appoint any person or persons to vote, on behalf of the corporation at, and act as, or appoint any person or persons to act as, proxy or attorney-in-fact for this corporation (with or without power of substitution) at, any meeting of stockholders or securityholders of any other entity, the securities of which may be held by this corporation.

5.5. Evidence of Authority. A certificate by the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary, or a temporary Secretary, as to any action taken by the stockholders, directors, a committee or any officer or representative of the corporation shall as to all persons who rely on the certificate in good faith be conclusive evidence of such action.

5.6. Certificate of Incorporation. All references in these Amended and Restated Bylaws to the Certificate of Incorporation shall be deemed to refer to the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation, as amended and in effect from time to time.

5.7. Severability. Any determination that any provision of these Amended and Restated Bylaws is for any reason inapplicable, illegal or ineffective shall not affect or invalidate any other provision of these Amended and Restated Bylaws.

5.8. Pronouns. All pronouns used in these Amended and Restated Bylaws shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person or persons may require.

5.9. Exclusive Forum.

(a) Delaware Courts. Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee or stockholder of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or as to which the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated Bylaws (in each case, as they may be amended from time to time) or governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This Section 5.9 does not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

(b) Claims Arising Under the Securities Act of 1933. Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any claims arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

(c) Notice. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 5.9.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHERS

7.1. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Others.

(b) Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a Director, officer, employee or agent in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Section 7.1. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former Directors, officers, employees or agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

(c) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 7.1 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

7.2. Indemnity Insurance. The corporation shall, to the extent permissible, have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.
