(a) Calculation of Merger Consideration. The aggregate amount to be paid by Parent with respect to the Company Shares and Options shall
equal the following: 
 (i) $337,000,000; 

(ii) (1) minus the amount, if any, by which the Closing Working Capital (as determined in accordance with
Section 3.1(b) below) is less than the Target Net Working Capital Lower Limit, or (2) plus the amount, if any, by which the Closing Working Capital (as determined in accordance with
Section 3.1(b) below) is greater than the Target Net Working Capital Upper Limit; 
 (iii)
plus the Estimated Closing Cash on Hand (as determined in accordance with Section 3.1(b) below); 

(iv) minus the Estimated Closing Indebtedness (as determined in accordance with Section 3.1(b)
below); and 
 (v) minus the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses (as determined in accordance with
Section 3.1(b) below). 

  
 23 













 The aggregate amount of items (i) through (v) immediately above is referred to herein as the
“Merger Consideration”; provided that, (i) at the Closing, there shall be no adjustment to the definition of “Merger Consideration” for Section 3.1(a)(ii) (and such adjustment shall
ultimately occur as set forth in Section 3.4), and (ii) after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration shall be subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 3.4. 

(b) Estimated Merger Consideration; Consideration Schedule. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company
shall deliver to Parent a certificate duly executed by an officer of the Company certifying (i) a statement, which is reasonably acceptable to Parent, setting forth in reasonable detail the Company’s good faith estimate of the Closing
Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), the Closing Cash on Hand (the “Estimated Closing Cash on Hand”), the Closing Indebtedness, itemized by each debtor and creditor (the “Estimated
Closing Indebtedness”), the Closing Transaction Expenses, itemized by each payee (the “Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses”), and the calculation of the Merger Consideration resulting therefrom, in each case based upon
the books and records of the Acquired Companies, maintained in a manner consistent with the policies and practices of the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing and shall in any event be prepared in accordance with the definitions of Closing
Working Capital, Closing Cash on Hand, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Transaction Expenses, as applicable, in each case, as set forth in Section 1.1, together with reasonable supporting documentation, and (ii) a
spreadsheet setting forth (A) a list of the Company Stockholders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (B) the class and number of shares of Company Shares owned by each such Company Stockholder, (C) the number of Options
held by each Option Holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the extent to which such Options are Vested Options, and the applicable exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to such Options, (D) the Per Share Merger
Consideration, (E) the Per Share Portion of each of the Escrow Amount and of the Representative Holdback Amount, (F) each Company Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share, (G) the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration payable to each
Company Stockholder at the Closing in accordance with the Restated Certificate and this Article III (the “Consideration Schedule”), and (H) a spreadsheet containing (in each case to the extent
applicable) each Company Stockholder, certificate numbers of Company Shares held by each Company Stockholder, share classes or series and quantities thereof, payment amounts thereto, any tax characterizations, withholding amounts (if applicable),
email and physical addresses of each Company Stockholder, and any other information and documents required by the Payments Administrator to solicit and verify the payments to be made under the Payments Agreement. The Parties agree that Parent and
Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely on the Consideration Schedule in making any payments hereunder and Parent and Merger Sub shall not be responsible or liable for the calculations or the determinations regarding such calculations in such
Consideration Spreadsheet. The Estimated Closing Cash on Hand, the Estimated Closing Indebtedness and the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses will be included in the determination of the Merger Consideration as set forth in
Section 3.1(a) above. During the period after the delivery of the statement pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) and prior to the Closing, Parent shall have the opportunity to review such statement and
the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent in good faith to respond to any questions regarding such statement raised by Parent. 

(c) Payment and Allocation of Merger Consideration. At and upon the Effective Time, Parent shall remit the Merger Consideration by wire
transfer of immediately available funds as follows: 

  
 24 













 (i) a portion of the Merger Consideration in the amount of the Escrow Amount
shall be deposited by Parent in a non-interest-bearing account (the “Escrow Account”), with CitiBank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) to be held pursuant to an escrow agreement (the
“Escrow Agreement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, to be entered into at the Closing by Parent, the Representative and the Escrow Agent. Such amounts delivered to the Escrow Agent and subject to any reduction
for distributions made pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Escrow Funds” and will secure Parent’s right to receive payments in connection with adjustments to the Merger
Consideration pursuant to Section 3.4(c); 
 (ii) a portion of the Merger Consideration in the
amount of the Representative Holdback Amount shall be deposited by Parent with the Representative to satisfy potential future obligations of the Company Stockholders, which Representative Holdback Amount will be paid to the Representative to be held

 (iii) (A) a portion of the Merger Consideration payable to the Non-Employee Option Holders pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be remitted by Parent to the Payments Administrator for distribution to the Non-Employee
Option Holders in accordance with the Consideration Schedule and (B) a portion of the Merger Consideration payable to the Employee Option Holders pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be remitted by Parent to the Payments
Administrator for further distribution to the Company (which amount the Company (or one of the Company Subsidiaries) shall pay to the Option Holders in accordance with the Consideration Schedule through the Company’s (or one of the Company
Subsidiaries’) payroll system on or prior to the next regularly scheduled payroll date of the Company (or the applicable Company Subsidiary) that occurs after the Closing, but in no event sooner than three (3) Business Days after the
Closing); and 
 (iv) the remaining amount of the Merger Consideration, after subtraction of (1) the amounts remitted in

Consideration Schedule. 
 (d) Payment of Transaction Expenses. At and upon the Effective Time, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid,
on behalf of the Acquired Companies and the Company Stockholders, the Closing Transaction Expenses specified on Schedule 3.1(d) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Persons or bank accounts and in the amounts specified on
Schedule 3.1(d), which Schedule 3.1(d) with estimated amounts and final wire instructions included shall be provided by the Company to Parent at least four (4) Business Days prior to the Effective Time and a final Schedule
3.1(d) with final amounts shall be provided by the Company to Parent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Time; provided that the amounts described in clause (b) of the definition of Transaction Expenses shall
be paid by Parent to the Company and the Company (or one of the Company Subsidiaries) shall pay such amount to the recipients thereof through the Company’s (or the applicable Company Subsidiary’s) payroll as soon as reasonably practicable
after such amount becomes available to the Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary (such payment to be net of withholdings, if any, and without interest). 

  
 25 













 (e) Payment of Indebtedness. At and upon the Effective Time, Parent shall pay, or
cause to be paid, on behalf of the Acquired Companies and the Company Stockholders, the Closing Indebtedness specified on Schedule 3.1(e) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Persons or bank accounts and in the amounts
specified on Schedule 3.1(e), which Schedule 3.1(e) with estimated amounts and final wire instructions included shall be provided by the Company to Parent at least four (4) Business Days prior to the Effective Time and a final
Schedule 3.1(e) with final amounts shall be provided by the Company to Parent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Time. 

3.2 Effect of Merger on the Capital Stock. 

(a) Conversion and Cancellation of Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares and
Company Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.2(b)) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Company Stockholders, be cancelled and extinguished, and
each share of Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares and Company Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.2(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as reduced at the
Closing by the Per Share Portion of each of the Escrow Amount and of the Representative Holdback Amount, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4) in cash, payable in accordance with and subject to the
conditions provided in this Article III. From and after the Effective Time, each holder of a Certificate shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except (i) Dissenting Shares shall have appraisal
rights under the DGCL, and (ii) each other share of Common Stock shall have the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as reduced at the Closing by the Per Share Portion of the Escrow Amount, and subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 3.4) subject to the conditions provided in this Article III. 
 (b)
Treasury Stock. At the Effective Time, each Company Share held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with
respect thereto. 
 (c) Surrender of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, but in any event within five
(5) days, pursuant to the Payments Agreement, the Payments Administrator shall deliver to each holder of record of a Certificate in respect of Company Shares (1) a letter of transmittal, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto
(the “Stockholder Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that delivery of a Certificate shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such Certificate shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificate to the Company
or its designee) and (2) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration contemplated to be paid to the holders of Company Shares pursuant to this
Section 3.2. As a condition precedent to each Certificate holder’s receipt of the Per Share Merger Consideration, such holder shall (A) surrender such Certificate to the Company or its designee for cancellation
(or, if such Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, make an affidavit of that fact with appropriate indemnification, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Payments Administrator and the Company) and (B) deliver an executed


  
 26 













 
Stockholder Letter of Transmittal. Upon receipt by the Payments Administrator of the items set forth in the immediately preceding sentence (but in no event earlier than the Effective Time), the
holder of such Certificate shall be entitled, upon the Closing, to receive in exchange therefor, the Per Share Merger Consideration (as reduced at the Closing by the Per Share Portion of each of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Holdback
Amount, and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4) for each Company Share represented by such Certificate, which Per Share Merger Consideration shall, pursuant to the Payments Agreement, be paid by the Payments
Administrator on the Closing Date if deliveries from the applicable holder of Company Shares are received prior to the Closing Date, and shall otherwise be paid within five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt by the Payments
Administrator of such deliveries from such holder of Company Shares, in each case by delivery of a certified or bank cashier’s check or by wire transfer, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled upon payment thereof by
the Payments Administrator. No interest will be paid or accrued on any portion of the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Shares that is not registered in the transfer records
of the Company, payment may be made to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Company Shares is presented to the Payments Administrator, accompanied by all documents (as determined by the Payments Administrator in its sole discretion)
required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. 
 (d) Retention of
Amounts. Notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth in this Agreement, no Company Stockholder holding Company Shares shall be entitled to receive that portion of the Merger Consideration represented by such Company Stockholder’s Pro
Rata Share of each of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Holdback Amount until such time as such amount (or any portion thereof), if any, is distributed to such Company Stockholder pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement
or this Agreement, as applicable. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Requisite Stockholder Approval shall constitute approval by the Company Stockholders holding Company Shares of the Escrow Agreement and of all of
the transactions and arrangements relating thereto, including the placement of the Escrow Funds in escrow. 
 3.3 Options. 

(a) Cancellation of Unvested Options. In connection with the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, Company or
any Company Stockholder, effective at the Effective Time, each outstanding stock option to purchase Common Stock granted under the Equity Incentive Plan (each, an “Option”) that is an Unvested Option shall automatically be cancelled
for no consideration and without any payment therefor except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.3. 
 (b)
Settlement of Vested Options. Effective at the Effective Time, each Vested Option, to the extent outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall thereafter be cancelled, retired and cease to exist but shall
entitle (subject to the immediately following sentence and except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.3) the Option Holder thereof, in cancellation and settlement therefor, to a single lump sum cash payment, payable in
accordance with the Payments Agreement to Non-Employee Option Holders on the Closing Date or through the Company’s (or one of the Company Subsidiaries’) payroll to Employee Option Holders on or


  
 27 













 
prior to the next regularly scheduled payroll date of the Company (or the applicable Company Subsidiary) that occurs after the Closing, but in no event sooner than three (3) Business Days
after the Closing, in each case in an amount equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (x) the Per Share Merger Consideration (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4) over (y) the exercise price per share
of Common Stock subject to such Vested Option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Vested Option immediately prior to its cancellation and settlement (such payment to be net of withholdings, if
any, and without interest) (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to, collectively, as the “Option Payments”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) each Vested Option with an exercise price
per share of Common Stock that is equal to or in excess of the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration as of the Effective Time, and (ii) the board of directors of the Company shall be entitled to,
prior to the Closing, and to the extent permitted by and consistent with the Equity Incentive Plan, accelerate the vesting of any Unvested Options such that, contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, such Unvested Options shall instead be
treated as a Vested Option hereunder. 
 (c) Retention of Amounts. Notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth in this Agreement,
the Company or its designee shall not pay to any Option Holder that portion of the Option Payment represented by such Option Holder’s Pro Rata Share of each of the Escrow Amount and the Representative Holdback Amount until such time as such
amount (or any portion thereof), if any, is distributed to such Option Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement, as applicable. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the
Requisite Stockholder Approval shall constitute approval by the Option Holders of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating thereto, including the placement of the Escrow Funds in escrow. 

3.4 Post-Closing Adjustments. 

(a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Representative statements duly certified by
Parent as accurately setting forth Parent’s good faith determination of each of (i) the Closing Working Capital (the “Statement of Closing Working Capital”), (ii) the Closing Cash on Hand (the
“Statement of Closing Cash on Hand”), (iii) the Closing Indebtedness (the “Statement of Closing Indebtedness”), and (iv) the Closing Transaction Expenses (the “Statement of Closing Transaction
Expenses”), together, in each case, with reasonable supporting documentation. The Statement of Closing Working Capital, the Statement of Closing Cash on Hand, the Statement of Closing Indebtedness, and the Statement of Closing Transaction
Expenses are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Statements.” The Statements shall be based upon the books and records of the Acquired Companies, maintained in a manner consistent with the policies and practices of the
Acquired Companies prior to the Closing and shall in any event be prepared in accordance with the definitions of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash on Hand, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Transaction Expenses, as applicable, in each case, as
set forth in Section 1.1. Until the Statements are finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.4, Parent shall afford the Representative (and its representatives and advisors) reasonable access
to all books and records and all personnel used to prepare, or otherwise relevant to the calculation of, the Statements that are under control of or in the possession of Parent or the Company (or their respective representatives and advisors);
provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Parent or any of the 

  
 28 













 
Acquired Companies; provided, further, that the accountants of Parent shall not be obligated to make any work papers available to the Representative unless and until the
Representative has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement related to such work papers in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. If Parent fails to timely deliver the Statements pursuant to this
Section 3.4(a), then the Representative shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether (x) the statement delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(b) shall be conclusive, final and binding on all
parties hereto or (y) to hire an independent accountant (at Parent’s sole cost and expense) to update the statement delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date by which Parent was
required to deliver the Statements pursuant to this Section 3.4(a), where upon such updated statement shall be conclusive, final and binding on all parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Representative shall and
shall cause any updated statement delivered by the Representative pursuant to the foregoing sentence to be prepared in accordance with the definitions of Closing Working Capital, Closing Cash on Hand, Closing Indebtedness, and Closing Transaction
Expenses, as applicable, in each case, as set forth in Section 1.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event Parent fails to timely deliver the Statements pursuant to this
Section 3.4(a), Section 3.4(b) shall not apply and shall have no force or effect. 
 (b)
Each Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties unless the Representative shall, prior to the later of (i) thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Statements (the “Request Period”) or (ii) the third
(3rd) Business Day following receipt of the reasonable information reasonably requested by the Representative pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in order to review the Statements; provided that such request is made within the
Request Period (such later period, the “Dispute Period”), deliver to Parent written notice of disagreement with such Statement (a “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice shall describe the nature of any such
disagreement in reasonable detail and identify the specific items involved, the dollar amount, and the calculations which the Representative has determined in good faith are necessary to support such disagreement. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts
set forth in a Statement that are not subject to dispute in a Dispute Notice shall be deemed final. The Representative and Parent hereby agree to negotiate in good faith in an attempt to resolve such disagreement, and if the Representative and
Parent are unable to resolve all disagreements with respect to a Statement within thirty (30) days of receipt by Parent of a Dispute Notice with respect to such Statement, or such longer period as may be agreed by Parent and the Representative,
then, within thirty (30) days after the end of such period, the Representative and Parent shall jointly select and retain BDO USA, LLP or if BDO USA, LLP is unwilling or unable to serve in such role, an arbiter from a nationally recognized
independent public accounting firm that is not the independent auditor of any of the Representative or an affiliate thereof, Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation and is mutually agreed between the Representative and Parent (the Person so
selected, the “Independent Accountant”). The Representative and Parent agree to jointly enter into a customary indemnity agreement with the Independent Accountant in connection with the retention of such Independent Accountant. The
Independent Accountant will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the applicable Statement as to which Parent and the Representative have disagreed within the time periods and on the terms specified above and must resolve such matters
in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each Party may furnish to the Independent Accountant such information and documents as it deems relevant, with copies of such submission and all such documents and information being
concurrently given to the Representative or Parent, as applicable. The Independent Accountant shall resolve each item of disagreement based solely on the supporting material provided by the Parties and not pursuant to any independent review and may


  
 29 













 
not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either Party, in each case
as presented to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall issue a detailed written report that sets forth the resolution of all items in dispute and that contains, as applicable, a final Statement of Closing Working Capital, a
final Statement of Closing Cash on Hand, a final Statement of Closing Indebtedness, and/or a final Statement of Transaction Expenses. Such report shall be final and binding upon Parent and the Representative and the Company Stockholders. The fees
and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne on a proportionate basis by the Representative, on behalf of the Company Stockholders, from the Representative Holdback Amount, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, based on the
percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each such Person bears to the amount actually contested by such Person. Parent and the Representative shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cooperate fully
with the Independent Accountant and respond on a timely basis to all requests for information or access to documents or personnel made by the Independent Accountant or by other Parties hereto, all with the intent to fairly and in good faith resolve
all disputes relating to any Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert, not as an arbitrator, in resolving the disputed matters under the Dispute Notice. The Independent Accountant shall make
a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement. The Parties shall cause the Independent Accountant to make any such determination based on
and consistent with the definitions set forth in this Agreement. 
 (c) If the (x) amount representing the Closing Cash on Hand, the
Closing Indebtedness, or the Closing Transaction Expenses, in each case as reflected in the applicable Statement as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.4 differs from the Estimated Closing Cash on Hand, the
Estimated Closing Indebtedness, or the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, respectively, or (y) Closing Working Capital is greater than the Target Net Working Capital Upper Limit or less than the Target Net Working Capital Lower Limit, then
as the case may be, the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be adjusted on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of such difference such that: 

(i) if the Closing Working Capital as reflected in the Statement of Closing Working Capital is greater than the Target Net
Working Capital Upper Limit, then the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be increased by the amount of such excess, and if the Closing Working Capital as reflected in the Statement of Closing Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working
Capital Lower Limit, then the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be decreased by the amount of such shortfall; 
 (ii) if
the Closing Cash on Hand as reflected in the Statement of Closing Cash on Hand is greater than the Estimated Closing Cash on Hand, then the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be increased by the amount of such excess, and if the Closing Cash on
Hand as reflected in the Statement of Closing Cash on Hand is less than the Estimated Closing Cash on Hand, then the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be decreased by the amount of such shortfall; 

  
 30 













 (iii) if the Closing Indebtedness as reflected in the Statement of Closing
Indebtedness is greater than the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, then the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be decreased by the amount of such excess, and if the Closing Indebtedness as reflected in the Statement of Closing Indebtedness is less
than the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, then the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be increased by the amount of such shortfall; and 

(iv) if the Closing Transaction Expenses as reflected in the Statement of Closing Transaction Expenses are greater than the
Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, then the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be decreased by the amount of such excess, and if the Closing Transaction Expenses as reflected in the Statement of Closing Transaction Expenses are less than the
Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, then the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be increased by the amount of such shortfall. 
 If the adjustments,
if any, under this Section 3.4 result in an aggregate reduction in the Aggregate Merger Consideration, the Representative, acting on behalf of the Company Stockholders, and Parent shall deliver joint written instructions to
the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to Parent (by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by Parent) from the Escrow Funds the amount of such reduction within five (5) Business Days after the final determination
of the adjustments. Conversely, if such adjustments result in an aggregate increase in the Aggregate Merger Consideration, Parent shall remit the amount of such increase to an account designated by the Representative and held in accordance with the
Payments Agreement for further distribution in accordance with Section 3.4(d)(i)–(iii) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 3.4, the Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event will the Representative (or any other Person) be obligated to make any payment to Parent in respect of any adjustments pursuant to
this Section 3.4 other than from, or in an aggregate amount in excess of, the Escrow Funds. 
 (d) Escrow
Release. On the date that is five (5) Business Days following the final determination of Closing Working Capital, the Closing Cash on Hand, the Closing Indebtedness, and the Closing Transaction Expenses pursuant to this
Section 3.4, to the extent funds are available in the Escrow Account after the final adjustment payment(s) in accordance with Section 3.4(c), Parent and the Representative shall deliver a joint
written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release such funds to an account designated by the Representative and held in accordance with the Payments Agreement for further distribution to: 

(i) each of the holders of Company Shares in accordance with such holder’s Pro Rata Share; 

(ii) each of the Non-Employee Option Holders in accordance with such holder’s Pro
Rata Share; and 
 (iii) the Company, in accordance with a fraction equal to the product of (1) the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock that would be issued assuming the exercise of all outstanding Vested Options held by the Employee Option Holders immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Per Share Portion, which aggregate
amount the Company (or one of the Company Subsidiaries) shall pay to the Employee Option Holders as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event not later than the next regularly scheduled payroll date of the Company (or the applicable Company
Subsidiary) in accordance with each Employee Option Holder’s Pro Rata Share. 

  
 31 













 3.5 Effect of Merger on the Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each
share of Merger Sub’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the
Company Stockholders, be converted automatically into and exchanged for one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. 
 3.6
Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and are held by Company Stockholders who have not voted in favor of the
Merger, consented thereto in writing or otherwise contractually waived their rights to appraisal and who have complied with all of the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares,” and the holders thereof the
“Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 3.2, unless and until such Company Stockholders
shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Shares, any objection to the
Merger, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity and right to participate in all
negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Neither the Company nor the Surviving Corporation shall, except with the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent, then (1) as of the
occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with
Sections 3.1 and 3.2, and (2) promptly following the occurrence of such event, Parent shall remit to the Payments Administrator, the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled. Any
payments to be made in respect of Dissenting Shares will be made by Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation. 
 3.7 Withholding
Rights. Parent, the Company, the Payments Administrator and their respective Affiliates shall not be entitled to deduct or withhold from any payments made under this Agreement, except such amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld
with respect to the making of any such payment under the Code, or any provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law, as a result of (i) the compensatory nature of such payments (such as payments to Employee Option Holders), (ii) a change in Law
after the date hereof or (iii) the Company’s failure to provide the certificate in accordance with Section 9.1(d) (it being agreed that in such case, except with respect to payments in the nature of compensation
to be made to Employee Option Holders, employees or former employees, Parent, the Company, the Payments Administrator or their respective Affiliate, as applicable, shall provide the applicable payee with a written notice of such party’s
intention to withhold at least five (5) Business Days prior to any such withholding and each of the applicable parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such Taxes). To the extent that such amounts are so withheld and
paid over to the proper Governmental Authority, such withheld and deducted amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipient in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. 

  
 32 













 3.8 Payments Administrator. The Parties agree that the Payments Administrator shall
act as payments administrator hereunder for the payment and delivery of amounts payable in exchange for Company Shares and Options due hereunder. The Parties shall cause the Payments Administrator to hold the amounts received from Parent and payable
to the Company Stockholders pursuant to (i) this Agreement and (ii) the Payments Agreement, in trust for the benefit of such Company Stockholders. Any funds received by the Payments Administrator pursuant to this Agreement and the Payments
Agreement will not be used for any purpose except as expressly provided in the Payments Agreement. 
 ARTICLE IV 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY 

Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company is delivering to Parent a disclosure schedule with numbered
sections corresponding to the relevant sections in this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedules”). The Company makes the following representations and warranties to Parent on the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as
follows: 
 4.1 Organization, Qualification, Power and Authority. Each of the Acquired Companies is an entity validly existing and in

(c) instruct the representatives of the Acquired Companies to reasonably cooperate with Parent in its access of the Acquired Companies. All requests for such access shall be directed to such Persons as the Company may designate in writing from
time to time (collectively, the “Designated Contacts”). Other than the Designated Contacts, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates or any of their respective representatives shall contact any employee, contractor, customer,
supplier, landlord, lender or other material business relation of any of the Acquired Companies without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld for any reason in the sole discretion of the Company. Parent shall comply

information relating to pricing or other matters that are highly sensitive if the exchange of such documents (or portions thereof) or information, as determined by the Company’s outside counsel, would reasonably be expected to violate any
Antitrust Law; provided, however, that such information shall be provided as ‘Outside Antitrust Counsel Only’, and the Company shall provide such information and restrict Parent’s access to such materials accordingly. 

  
 68 













 6.6 Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain and deliver promptly, but in any event no later than twenty-four (24) hours, after the due execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Requisite Stockholder Approval to Parent. 

6.7 Information Statement. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after
the date hereof, the Company, in consultation with Parent, shall prepare an information statement (the “Information Statement”) in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL and shall deliver or cause the Information Statement to
be delivered to any holder of Company Shares who has not executed in accordance with the DGCL a written consent in favor of adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and who was otherwise
entitled to vote thereon (a “Non-Voting Stockholder”). The Information Statement shall (i) state that the board of directors of the Company unanimously determined that this Agreement and
the Merger are advisable in accordance with Section 251(b) of the DGCL and in the best interests of the Company Stockholders and unanimously approved and adopted this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby,
(ii) provide the Non-Voting Stockholders with notice of the actions taken in the Requisite Stockholder Approval, including the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with Section 228(e) of the DGCL and the bylaws of the Company, (iii) notify the Non-Voting Stockholders of their dissent and appraisal rights pursuant
to Section 262 of the DGCL, and (iv) notify the Non-Voting Stockholders of any specific rights or obligations related to the transactions contemplated herein that are specific to the Company Shares
held by such Non-Voting Stockholders. The Information Statement shall include therewith a copy of Section 262 of DGCL and all such other information as Parent shall reasonably request, and shall be
sufficient in form and substance to start the twenty (20) day period during which a Non-Voting Stockholder must demand appraisal of such Non-Voting
Stockholder’s Common Shares as contemplated by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL. All materials submitted to the Non-Voting Stockholders in accordance with this Section 5.04(b) shall be subject to
Parent’s advance review and reasonable approval. 
 6.8 Section 280G. To the extent that any
“disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) has the right to receive any payments or benefits that constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), then the Company will (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from each such “disqualified individual” a waiver of such disqualified individual’s
rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) so that any remaining payments and/or benefits shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G
of the Code and the regulations thereunder) and (ii) with respect to each individual who agrees to the waiver described in clause (i), solicit a vote of the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote on such matters, the right of any such
“disqualified individual” to receive the Waived 280G Benefits. The parties acknowledge that this Section 6.8 shall not apply to any arrangements entered into at the direction of Parent or between Parent and its
Affiliates, on the one hand, and a disqualified individual, on the other hand (“Parent Arrangements”), unless Parent provides to the Company, no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, a written
description of any Parent Arrangements and cooperates with the Company in good faith to facilitate the Company’s calculation or determination of the value (for purposes of Section 280G of the Code) of any such payments or benefits granted
or contemplated therein that could constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code. Prior to soliciting any waiver or soliciting stockholder approval described in this Section 6.8, the


  
 69 













 
Company shall provide Parent for its review and comment a copy of all such materials (i.e., the 280G analysis, the waiver, disclosure statement and any other materials to be submitted to the
Company’s stockholders in connection with such vote). Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that the vote described in this Section 6.8 was solicited in
conformance with Section 280G of the Code with respect to any Waived 280G Benefits and (a) the requisite stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any such Waived 280G Benefits (the “Section 280G
Approval”), or (b) no such approval was obtained and therefore any Waived 280G Benefits shall not be paid. In no event shall the Company be deemed in breach of this Section 6.8 if any “disqualified
individual” refuses to execute a waivers described in this Section 6.8 or the Section 280G Approval is not obtained due to the stockholders not approving such payments properly submitted. 

6.9 Exclusivity. The Company agrees that from the date hereof and until the earlier of the Closing Date and the date that this Agreement
is terminated in accordance with its terms, none of the Acquired Companies shall, and the Company shall instruct its and their representatives and Affiliates, the other Acquired Companies, and the Company Stockholders not to, directly or indirectly,

(ii) solicit, initiate, facilitate, continue, or encourage proposals, offers or inquiries from a third party other than Parent with respect to any Company Transaction, (iii) participate in any negotiations or discussions with any third
party other than Parent and its agents and representatives with respect to any Company Transaction or (iv) enter into a letter of intent or other agreement (whether or not binding) with a third party other than Parent with respect to any
Company Transaction. The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its Affiliates and all of its and their representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations
with any third parties (other than Parent) conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, a Company Transaction.

(a) any fact, circumstance, event or action the existence, occurrence or taking of which (i) has had, or may reasonably be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) has resulted, or may reasonably be expected to result, in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or
Section 8.2 to be satisfied; 
 (b) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of
such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the failure to obtain such consent would be material to the Business; and

Consideration or attributable to a Tax attribute arising in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, any refunds (or credits for overpayments) of Taxes that have been paid by an Acquired Company prior to Closing shall
be for the account of the Company Stockholders (net of any Taxes imposed thereon or expenses incurred with respect thereto) (such refunds, the “Tax Refunds”), and Parent shall, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to, take all
commercially reasonable actions to obtain such Tax Refunds and pay, or cause to be paid, to the Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders) an amount of cash equal to such Tax Refund actually received within ten (10) days after
receipt thereof. 
 10.2 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification. 

(a) Following the date hereof and until the Closing Date, the Company and the Parent agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate
to evaluate and procure a customary “tail” insurance policy with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Closing Date with at least the same coverage and amount and containing terms and conditions that are not less
advantageous to the officers and directors of the Acquired Companies as set forth in each Acquired Company’s existing policies with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or on the Closing Date (the
“D&O Tail Policy”). It is agreed that 50% of all premiums, fees, commissions, taxes, costs and other expenses with respect to the D&O Tail Policy shall be borne by Parent up to 50% of $75,000 of such amounts in the aggregate
(such $75,000 amount, the “D&O Tail Policy Cap”) (and the other 50% or up to $37,500 shall be borne by the selling equityholders as a Transaction Expense) and any excess amount above the D&O Tail Policy Cap shall be borne 100% by
the Parent. During the term of the D&O Tail Policy, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall not (and shall cause, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies not to) take any action following the Closing to cause the D&O Tail Policy to be
cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived. 
 (b) For six (6) years after the Closing Date, Parent shall, and shall
cause the Acquired Companies (each, a “D&O Indemnifying Party”) to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) indemnify and hold harmless (and release from any liability to Parent or the Company or any of the
Company Subsidiaries), the D&O Indemnified Persons against all D&O Expenses (as defined below), losses, claims, damages, judgments or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “D&O Costs”) in respect of any threatened,
pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, based on or arising out of or relating to the fact that such Person is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of the
Company Subsidiaries and arising out of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing (including in respect of acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby) (a “D&O Indemnifiable
Claim”) and (ii) advance to such D&O Indemnified Persons all D&O Expenses incurred in connection with any D&O Indemnifiable Claim (including in circumstances where the D&O Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of
such claim) promptly after receipt of reasonably detailed statements therefor; provided, however, that the D&O Indemnified Person to whom D&O Expenses are to be advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is
ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment that such D&O Indemnified Person is not entitled to such indemnification. Any D&O Indemnifiable Claim
shall continue until such D&O Indemnifiable Claim is disposed of or all judgments, orders, decrees or other rulings in connection with such D&O Indemnifiable Claim are fully satisfied. For the purposes of this
Section 10.2(a), “D&O Expenses” means attorneys’ fees and all other costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in
(including on appeal), or preparing 

  
 78 













 
to defend, be a witness in or participate in, any D&O Indemnifiable Claim, but shall exclude losses, judgments and amounts paid in settlement (which items are, for the avoidance of doubt,
included in the definition of D&O Costs). Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Acquired Companies will be liable for any settlement related to any D&O Indemnifiable Claim without such Acquired Company’s prior written consent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (c) In the event Parent, the Company or any of their respective successors
or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to
any Person, then and in either such case proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 10.2. The
provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are expressly intended to benefit each of the D&O Indemnified Persons. 

10.3 Employee Matters. 

(a) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time (or, if earlier, until the termination of employment of the relevant
employee), Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each Continuing Employee, (i) annual base salary or base wages, annual cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding equity or equity-based compensation) and severance
that are substantially comparable to such annual base salary or base wages, annual cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding equity or equity-based compensation) and severance provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the
Effective Time; and (ii) employee benefits (excluding Pension Plans, equity or equity-based compensation) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee under the Employee
Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) except as provided in clause (ii), Continuing Employees will continue to be employed at-will and may be terminated
at any time, with or without cause, including during the twelve (12) month period following the Effective Time, and (ii) the terms and conditions (including benefits and compensation) of employment for any Continuing Employee whose
employment is covered by a collective bargaining agreement shall be governed by the terms of the applicable collective bargaining agreement. 

(b) For purposes of eligibility and vesting (other than vesting of future equity awards) and or purposes of future vacation accruals and
determining severance amounts (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of benefit accrual under any retirement plan) under the employee benefit plans of Parent or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) in which Continuing
Employees participate (a “Parent Benefit Plan”), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with all years of service for which such Continuing Employee was credited before the Closing Date for the same purposes such service was
recognized under any analogous Employee Benefit Plans; except where such recognition would result in duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, solely with respect to any Parent Benefit Plan in which
Continuing Employees participate (and excluding for this purpose any defined benefit plans) : (i) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time,
in any and all Parent Benefit Plans (to the extent that such Continuing Employee participated (and had satisfied all eligibility 

  
 79 













 
requirements, including waiting periods) under the analogous Employee Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing); and (ii) for purposes of each Parent Benefit Plan providing medical,
dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Parent Benefit Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents. 

(c) The provisions of this Section 10.3 are solely for the benefit of the parties hereto, and shall not confer upon
any Person any third-party beneficiary rights. Nothing contained in this Section 10.3, whether express or implied: (i) shall be treated as establishing, amending or modifying for any purpose any Employee Benefit Plan
or Parent Benefit Plan; (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of any Party hereto or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established,
sponsored or maintained by any of them; or (iii) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee of any Acquired Company or any other Person any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this
Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment. 
 ARTICLE XI

 (a) Parent and the Company may
terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing; 
 (b) Parent or the Company may terminate this
Agreement by written notice to the other Party prior to the Closing, if: 
 (i) the Merger has not been consummated on or
before the date that is 90 days from the date hereof (the “End Date”); provided, that neither Parent nor the Company will be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(b)(i)
if such Party’s willful breach of this Agreement has hindered the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or prior to the End Date; provided, further, that Company and Parent each shall not have the
right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(b)(i) if the extending Party is pursuing specific performance of, or other equitable remedies with respect to, Parent’s obligations hereunder; and
provided, further, that either Party shall have the right to extend, from time to time, the End Date for additional periods of time not to exceed an additional one hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate if all conditions to
the Closing (other than the condition set forth in Section 8.1(b)) are satisfied or capable of then being satisfied and such Party reasonably believes that the condition in Section 8.1(b) may be
satisfied on or prior to the End Date, as extended; or 

  
 80 













 (ii) (A) there shall be any Law that shall make illegal the
consummation of the Merger or (B) a Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated or entered an order or injunction prohibiting, enjoining or restraining the Merger and such order or injunction shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a Party if such order or injunction was primarily due to the
failure of such party to comply with this Agreement; 
 (c) Parent may, with no liability to the Company or any third party, including the
Company Stockholders, terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Company at any time prior to the Closing if (i) a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company
set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that causes or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 not to be satisfied at Closing,
(ii) such breach or failure to perform is incapable of being cured or, if curable, is not cured by the Company by the earlier of (A) the End Date and (B) within ten (10) Business Days after giving the Company written notice of
such breach or failure; provided that, at the time of such termination, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall be in breach of this Agreement which causes or would reasonably be expected to cause a condition to Closing set forth in
Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 to fail to be satisfied, and (iii) the Requisite Stockholder Approval has not been delivered to Parent within twenty-four (24) hours after the due execution and
delivery of this Agreement; and 
 (d) The Company may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Parent at any time prior to the
Closing if (i) a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that causes or would reasonably be expected to cause
any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 not to be satisfied at Closing and (ii) such breach or failure to perform is incapable of being cured or, if curable, is not cured
by Parent or Merger Sub by the earlier of (A) the End Date and (B) within ten (10) Business Days after the giving to Parent or Merger Sub written notice of such breach or failure; provided that, at the time of such termination,
the Company shall not be in breach of this Agreement which causes or would reasonably be expected to cause a condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 to fail to be satisfied.

 11.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement, by either Parent or the Company in accordance herewith,
the provisions of this Agreement will immediately become void and of no further force or effect (other than this Section 11.2, and Article XII hereof, which will survive the termination of this
Agreement in accordance with their terms); provided, however, that (a) the last sentence of Section 6.4 above and the Confidentiality Agreement referred to therein, will survive the termination of this
Agreement for a period of three (3) years following the date of such termination (and, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Confidentiality Agreement term will be
automatically amended to be extended for such three (3)-year period and (ii) the confidentiality and non-use obligations specified in the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive and subsist in relation to
any information comprised of trade secrets for as long as the Acquired Companies maintain such trade secrets and they are entitled to trade secret protection under applicable Law), and (b) the last sentence of
Section 7.1(b), Section 7.3 and Section 12.15(d) shall 

  
 81 













 
survive any such termination and shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing herein will relieve any Party from any liability, damages or obligations (which the Parties acknowledge and agree
shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs, and, in the case of liabilities or damages payable by Parent, would include the benefits of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement lost by the Company and the Company Stockholders (taking into consideration all relevant matters, including other combination opportunities and the time value of money), which shall be deemed in such event
to be damages of the Company and the Company Stockholders) to any other Party for Fraud or any willful and material breach by such Party of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement occurring prior to such
termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful and material breach” shall mean a deliberate act or a deliberate failure to act, which act or failure to act constitutes in and of itself a material breach of this Agreement, regardless
of whether breaching was the conscious object of the act or failure to act, and shall include any failure of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance herewith. Subject to
Section 12.14, nothing in this ARTICLE XI will be deemed to impair the right of any Party to compel specific performance or other equitable remedies by another Party of its obligations under this Agreement. 

ARTICLE XII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

12.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the
Representative (solely on behalf of the Company Stockholders) will bear his, her or its own costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided,
however, that in the event the Merger is consummated, the costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) of the Acquired Companies incurred on behalf of the Company Stockholders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby will constitute part of the Transaction Expenses. 
 12.2 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set
forth in Section 12.9, Section 12.16(c) and Section 12.17, this Agreement and its provisions are for the sole benefit of the Parties, Company Stockholders and the D&O

12.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Payments
Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the other documents referred to herein, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the
extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof. 
 12.4 Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of

Parent or the Company or to any purchaser of all or substantially all of the equity or assets of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Company and the Company Subsidiaries following the Closing); provided, further that no
assignment to any such Affiliate, lender or purchaser shall in any way affect Parent’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.

be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 
 12.6 Headings. The section headings

 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware, including its
statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
Delaware and without regard to any borrowing statute that would result in the application of the statute of limitations of any other jurisdictions. In furtherance of the foregoing, the laws of the State of Delaware will control even if under such
jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply. 

  
 84 













 (b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY
HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER AGREEMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND

UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS

federal appellate court therefrom) in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and any related agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith and by this Agreement waive, and agree
not to assert, any defense in any action for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement and any related agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith that they are not subject to such jurisdiction or that such
action may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of the action is improper. 

(d) Each Party agrees that service in person or by certified or by nationally recognized overnight courier to its address set forth in
Section 12.7 shall constitute valid in personal service upon such Party and its successors and assigns in any arbitration proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 12.8. Each Party hereby
acknowledges that this is a commercial transaction, that the foregoing provisions for consent to arbitration, service of process and waiver of jury trial have been read, understood and voluntarily agreed to by each Party and that by agreeing to such

tort or at law or in equity) may be brought after the Closing by any Person with respect thereto and there will be no liability in respect thereof, whether such liability has accrued prior to, on or after the Closing, except for those covenants and
agreements contained herein that by their express terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and

 (b) THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN ARTICLE IV, AS QUALIFIED BY THE COMPANY
DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES, CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY TO PARENT AND MERGER SUB IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND EACH OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY RELATING TO THE FUTURE OR HISTORICAL FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, ASSETS OR LIABILITIES OF THE COMPANY AND ANY OF THE OTHER
ACQUIRED COMPANIES) ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED BY THE COMPANY AND ARE NOT BEING RELIED UPON BY EITHER PARENT OR MERGER SUB OR ANY OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES. PARENT SHALL ACQUIRE THE BUSINESS WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IN AN “AS IS” CONDITION AND ON A “WHERE IS” BASIS, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY REPRESENTED OR WARRANTED IN ARTICLE IV, AS QUALIFIED BY THE COMPANY DISCLOSURE
SCHEDULES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY OTHER PERSON SHALL BE DEEMED TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO (I) ANY PROJECTIONS, ESTIMATES OR BUDGETS HERETOFORE DELIVERED TO OR MADE
AVAILABLE TO PARENT, MERGER SUB OR THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, ACCOUNTANTS OR ADVISORS OF FUTURE REVENUES, EXPENSES OR EXPENDITURES OR FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF ANY ACQUIRED COMPANY OR THE GROUP AS A WHOLE OR (II) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
COVERED BY A SPECIFIC REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY CONTAINED IN ARTICLE IV, AS QUALIFIED BY THE COMPANY DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES, ANY OTHER INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTS (FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE) MADE AVAILABLE TO PARENT, MERGER SUB OR THEIR RESPECTIVE
COUNSEL, ACCOUNTANTS OR ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACQUIRED COMPANY OR THE GROUP AS A WHOLE. 
 (c) Except for a claim for Fraud, Parent,
for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (including, after the Closing, the Acquired Companies) (each a “Waiving
Party”), acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against any of the Acquired Companies, the Company
Stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (the “Seller Group”) relating to the Business, the operation of
the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any Exhibit or the Schedules hereto, or any ancillary agreement, certificate or other document entered into, made, delivered,
or made available in connection herewith, or as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether arising under, or based upon, any federal, state, local or foreign statute, Law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise
(including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law) are hereby irrevocably waived by the Waiving Parties
(the “Waived Claims”); provided, however, this Section 12.9(c) shall not apply to, and “Waived Claims” shall not include, any rights or claims set forth in this Agreement or the Stockholder Letter
of Transmittal. Furthermore, without limiting the generality of this Section 12.9, (a) no claim will be brought or maintained by, or on behalf of, Parent or any other Waiving Party (including, after the Closing, the
Acquired Companies) against the Company Stockholders, the Company or any other member of the Seller Group, and no recourse will be 

  
 86 













 
sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of, or based upon, any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the
Company or any other Person set forth or contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit or Schedules hereto, or any ancillary agreement, certificate or other document entered into, made, delivered, or made available in connection herewith, or as a
result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except for a claim of Fraud. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the limits imposed on the Waiving Parties’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby were bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid by Parent and Merger Sub hereunder. Members of the Seller Group shall be a third party
beneficiaries of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 12.9. 
 (d) EACH OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB, ON BEHALF
OF THE WAIVING PARTIES, EXPRESSLY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AFFORDED BY ANY STATUTE OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES WHICH LIMITS THE EFFECT OF A RELEASE WITH RESPECT TO UNKNOWN CLAIMS, EXCEPT FOR A CLAIM FOR FRAUD. EACH OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB ON
BEHALF OF THE WAIVING PARTIES, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT UNDERSTANDS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS AND WAIVER OF ANY STATUTORY PROTECTION AGAINST A RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS. EACH OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB, ON BEHALF OF THE WAIVING
PARTIES, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL AND MATERIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT. 
 12.10 Amendments and
Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Parent, the Company and the Representative. No waiver by any Party of any provision of this Agreement or any default,
misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party making such waiver, nor shall such waiver be deemed to extend to any prior or
subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. 

12.11 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law by which this Agreement is governed, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision; provided that such provision shall be construed to give effect to the Parties’ intent regarding such provision to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law. 

12.12 Disclosure. The information contained in this Agreement and in the Company Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto is disclosed
solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any Party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of law or breach of contract). 

  
 87 













 12.13 Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules
identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. 
 12.14 Specific Performance. The Parties
hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and
Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable) and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and to thereafter cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement. The foregoing rights are in addition to and without limitation of any
other remedy to which the Parties may be entitled at law or in equity. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a
remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. Each of the Parties hereto hereby waives (a) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. If any Party brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms
and provisions hereof by any other Party, the End Date shall automatically be extended by (x) the amount of time during which such action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (y) such other later date established by the
Delaware court presiding over such action. The Parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 12.14, no Party shall in any respect waive its right to seek at any time any other form
of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement or any other agreement or document entered into in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby (including monetary damages) in the event that this Agreement has been
terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 12.14 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 12.14 shall require
any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 12.14 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under
Article , nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 12.14 or anything set forth in this Section 12.14 restrict or limit any Party’s right
to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article XI or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement any other agreement or document entered into in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated
hereby that may be available then or thereafter. 
 12.15 Representative. 

(a) Designation. The Representative is hereby authorized to serve as the representative of each Company Stockholder with respect to the
matters expressly set forth in this Agreement to be performed by the Representative. 
 (b) Authority. Each Company Stockholder, by
his, her or its acceptance of any portion of the Merger Consideration, as well as through the execution and delivery of his, her or its Stockholder Letter of Transmittal pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, irrevocably appoints the
Representative as of the Closing as the representative, agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Company Stockholder for all purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement and the Payments Agreement (including the full power and authority on such Company Stockholder’s behalf (i) to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, (ii) to pay such Company


  
 88 













 
Stockholder’s expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement (whether incurred on or after the date hereof), (iii) to make any determinations and
settle any matters in connection with the adjustment of the Merger Consideration contemplated by Article III, (iv) to cause the Payments Administrator to distribute any funds payable by Parent hereunder which are for
the account of the Company Stockholders, (v) to deduct and/or hold back any funds which may be payable to any Company Stockholder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in order to pay, or establish a reserve for, any amount which may be
payable by such Company Stockholder hereunder, (vi) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Company Stockholder any amendment to the terms hereof, (vii) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Company Stockholder in
connection herewith, (viii) to retain funds for reasonably anticipated expenses and liabilities, and (ix) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Company Stockholder or the Company Stockholders collectively are
permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Payments Agreement). All decisions and actions by the Representative made in accordance with the authority granted to it hereunder, including the defense or
settlement of any claims for losses for which Parent, Merger Sub and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns may be entitled to indemnification, shall be binding upon all of the
Company Stockholders, and no Company Stockholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Representative Holdback Amount shall be retained by the Representative for such time as the Representative shall
determine in its sole discretion. 
 (c) Replacement. In the event that the Representative becomes unable to perform its
responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the Company Stockholders (or, if applicable, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns) who held a majority of the voting power represented by the capital stock of
the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall select another representative to fill such vacancy, and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.

 (d) Exculpation. 

(i) Neither the Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any liability to any other Person by virtue of the
failure or refusal of the Representative for any reason to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or relating to the performance of its other duties hereunder or any of its omissions or actions with respect thereto. For the avoidance of
doubt, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely on the acts, omissions and direction, to the extent authorized hereunder, of the Representative and shall have no liability for such reliance, any actions taken as a result of such reliance, or
for any actions taken or not taken by the Representative. No Company Stockholder shall be permitted and each Company Stockholder shall agree to not initiate any Legal Proceeding against Parent, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation due to any
actions taken or not taken by the Representative. 

  
 89 













 (ii) The Representative shall have no obligations to make any payments,
including on behalf of any Company Stockholder or any other Person. Parent agrees that it will not look to the personal assets of the Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Company (pre-Closing) or the Company Stockholders. The Representative will incur no liability of any kind to any Stockholder with respect to any action or omission by the Representative in connection with the
Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability primarily resulting from the Representative’s Fraud, gross negligence or willful or intentional misconduct. The
Representative shall not be liable to any Stockholder for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Representative. The Company Stockholders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Representative from
and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication
and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such
Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been primarily caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative, the
Representative will reimburse the Company Stockholders and Option Holders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Representative by the
Company Stockholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Representative from (i) the funds in the Representative Holdback Amount, and (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Funds at such time as remaining amounts would
otherwise be distributable to the Company Stockholders pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement; provided, that while this section allows the Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve
the Company Stockholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the
Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Stockholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of the
Company Stockholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement (including Section 12.1 and Section 12.17 hereof) are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Representative
under this Section 12.15. The Company Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Representative or the termination of this Agreement. 

(iii) The Representative Holdback Amount will be held in with an FDIC-insured institution in a segregated account. The Company
Stockholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Representative Holdback Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The
Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Representative Holdback Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will
not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the
Representative’s responsibilities, the Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the 

  
 90 













 
Representative Holdback Amount to the Payments Administrator for further distribution in accordance with Section 3.4(d)(i)–(iii) (the date of such distribution, the
“Representative Holdback Distribution Date”). For tax purposes, the Representative Holdback Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Stockholders at the time of Closing.  
 (iv) This Section 12.15(d) shall survive any
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article XI. 
 (e) Irrevocability; Successors. The provisions of
this Section 12.15 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Company Stockholder may have in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 12.15 shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each Company Stockholder, and any references in this
Agreement to a Company Stockholder shall mean and include the successors to the rights of the Company Stockholders hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.  
 12.16 Conflict Waiver. 

(a) Each of Parent and the Company, for itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications
pertaining to the Seller Group and their counsel, including Kirkland & Ellis LLP, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of, or any dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to, this
Agreement, any agreements contemplated by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the process for the sale of the Company by the Company Stockholders), or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are
privileged communications between the Seller Group and such counsel and none of Parent, the Company or any of the Waiving Parties, nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Parent or the Company or any of the Waiving Parties, will
seek to obtain the same by any process; provided, that applicable communications between the Company or any Company Subsidiary and their respective legal counsel, in each case that were not made in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and performance of, or any dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any agreements contemplated by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the process
for the sale of the Company by the Company Stockholders), or any matter relating to any of the foregoing shall pass to the Company or such Company Subsidiary. From and after the Closing, each of Parent and the Company, on behalf of itself and the
Waiving Parties, waives and will not assert any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between Kirkland & Ellis LLP and the Company or any Person in the Seller Group occurring during the representation in connection
with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and each of Parent and the Company, on behalf of
itself and the Waiving Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as to all such communications that relate in any way to this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby, or the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Seller Group and shall be controlled by the Seller Group and shall 


  
 91 













 
not pass to or be claimed by Parent, the Company, any of the Waiving Parties or any of their respective Affiliates. Each of Parent and the Company, on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties,
further acknowledges and agrees that the parties have each undertaken commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of confidential or attorney-client privileged information. Notwithstanding such efforts, each of Parent and the Company,
on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may result in the inadvertent disclosure of information that may be confidential or subject to a claim of
privilege and that any disclosure of such information will not prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of any claim of privilege and that no such Person may use or rely on any such disclosure in any Legal Proceeding against or involving any
member of the Seller Group after the Closing. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent, any of the Acquired Companies, or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and a
third party other than a party to this Agreement, the Company Stockholders or any of such party’s Affiliates, on the other hand, after the Closing, the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential
communications by Kirkland & Ellis LLP to such third party; provided, however, that the Company may not waive such privilege without taking reasonable efforts to obtain the prior written consent of the Representative (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). 
 (b) Parent hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its
Waiving Parties, that Kirkland & Ellis LLP may serve as counsel to each and any Person of the Seller Group, on the one hand, and the Acquired Companies, on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, deliver
and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and that, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Kirkland & Ellis LLP may serve as counsel to each and any Person in the Seller Group in
connection with any dispute, litigation, claim, proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby notwithstanding such representation or any continued representation of the Company and/or
any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with any other matter relating to the process for the sale of the Company by the Company Stockholders. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby consents to and irrevocably waives (individually and on
behalf of any Waiving Party claiming by, through or on behalf of any of them) any conflicts that may arise in connection with such representation. 

(c) Kirkland & Ellis LLP shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement for purposes of this
Section 12.16. 
 12.17 Non-Recourse. 

(a) Other than for claims or causes of action pursuant to the Stockholder Letters of Transmittal contemplated by
Article III or Parent guaranty in Section 7.3, all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement,
or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), may be made only against the entities that are
expressly identified as Parties hereto. Other than for claims or causes of action pursuant to the Stockholder Letters of Transmittal contemplated by Article III or Parent guaranty in Section 7.3,
no Person who is not a named Party to this Agreement, including any past, present or future director, officer, 

  
 92 













 
employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any named party to this Agreement
(“Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its
owners or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation or execution; and each Party hereto
waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliate. The Non-Party Affiliates shall be a third party beneficiaries of
this Agreement for purposes of this Section 12.17. 
 (b) Notwithstanding
Section 12.17(a), Section 12.17(a) shall not apply to any claim for Fraud. Each Company Stockholder shall jointly and severally be liable and indemnify Parent and the Surviving Corporation against
any claim for Fraud that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an
inducement to enter into this Agreement). 
 12.18 Release. Effective upon the Closing, each Company Stockholder, on behalf of itself
and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby, knowingly and voluntarily, forever compromises, settles, waives, releases and discharges with prejudice Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, and each
Acquired Company and each present or future director, officer, employee, agent, advisor, representative, auditor, trustee, shareholder, member, partner, Affiliate, parent, subsidiary, successor or assign of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving
Corporation, and each Acquired Company (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all Legal Proceedings, rights, protests, disputes, orders, debts, demands, Contracts, promises, liabilities, controversies, costs, expenses,
fees (including attorneys’ fees), and damages of any kind, which any Releasing Party now has, has ever had or may hereafter have against the respective Released Parties, in each case, in respect of the Acquired Companies, arising
contemporaneously with or prior to the Effective Time or on account of or arising out of any matter, cause or event occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the Effective Time arising by any means including, without limitation, subrogation,
assignment, reimbursement, operation of law or otherwise, whether known or unknown, accrued or not accrued, foreseen or unforeseen, or mature or unmature (collectively, “Released Claims”). The Released Claims include, but are not
limited to, breaches of contract, torts or personal injury of any sort, whether intentional or negligent, including, without limitation, for the negligence of any or all of the Released Parties, and under any state or federal statute or regulation,
in equity or at common law. Each Company Stockholder hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting, selling, pledging, transferring or otherwise disposing of any Released Claim or any right, title, interest, lien,
security interest, or claim in, to, or with respect to a Released Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.18 does not release any claims of (i) any Company Stockholder arising from or related to this
Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents, (ii) any Company Stockholder who is employed by an Acquired Company as of the date hereof with respect to matters related to such employment relationship, and (iii) any Company Stockholder with
respect to any rights to indemnification and insurance as set forth in Section 10.2.
