ARTICLE I 
 AGREEMENT TO TENDER
AND VOTE 
 Section 1.1 Agreement to Tender. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Stockholder agrees to tender or
cause to be tendered in the Offer all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares (other than Company Stock Options that are not exercised or Company RSUs that 







 
do not settle during the term of this Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, free and clear of all Encumbrances, except for Permitted Encumbrances (as defined
below). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than ten (10) business days (as defined in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) of the Exchange Act) after, the commencement (within the meaning
of Rule 14d–2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer (or in the case of any After-Acquired Shares directly or indirectly acquired subsequent to such tenth (10th) business day, no later
than five (5) business days after such acquisition), each Stockholder shall deliver pursuant to the terms of the Offer (a) a letter of transmittal with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares complying with the terms of
the Offer, (b) a certificate representing all such Subject Shares that are certificated, or an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a
book–entry share of any uncertificated Subject Shares, and (c) all other documents or instruments required to be delivered by other stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer (it being understood that this sentence
shall not apply to Company Stock Options that are not exercised or Company RSUs that do not settle during the term of this Agreement). Each Stockholder agrees that, once any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are tendered, such Stockholder
will not withdraw such Subject Shares from the Offer, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.3. 

Section 1.2. Agreement to Vote. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that, during the time this Agreement is in effect, at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action
proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, such Stockholder shall, in each case to the fullest extent that such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (a) appear (in person or by proxy)
at each such meeting or otherwise cause all such Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of determining a quorum; and (b) be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be
delivered) a written consent with respect to, all of its Subject Shares (i) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (A) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or
agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of any Stockholder contained in this Agreement, or (B) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article 8 or Annex A of the Merger Agreement not being satisfied in a timely
manner; (ii) against any change in the Company Board; (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal and against any other action, agreement or transaction involving the Company that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to impede,
interfere with, delay, postpone, adversely affect or prevent the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including (x) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
consolidation or other business combination involving the Company (other than the Offer and the Merger); (y) a sale, lease, license or transfer of a material amount of assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Intellectual Property Rights)
of the Company or any reorganization, recapitalization or liquidation of the Company, or (z) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any amendment or other change to the Certificate of Incorporation or Company Bylaws, in each
case, to the extent not expressly permitted by the Merger Agreement; and (iv) in favor of any other matter necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which is considered at any such meeting of
stockholders, and in connection therewith to execute any documents reasonably requested by 

  
 2 








 
Parent which are necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the foregoing. Subject to the proxy granted under Section 1.3 below, each Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to
vote the Subject Shares in such Stockholder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters other than those set forth in this Section 1.2 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the
Company’s stockholders generally. 
 Section 1.3 Irrevocable Proxy. In order to secure the performance of such
Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement, by entering into this Agreement, such Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants a proxy appointing each executive officer of Purchaser as such Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full
power of substitution and resubstitution, for and in its name, to vote, express consent or dissent, or otherwise to utilize such voting power to the full extent of such Stockholders’ voting rights with respect to all such Stockholders’
Subject Shares (which proxy is irrevocable and which appointment is coupled with an interest, including for purposes of Section 212 of the DGCL) to vote, and to execute written consents with respect to, all such Stockholders’ Subject
Shares solely on the matters described in Section 1.2. Such Stockholder hereby further affirms that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Stockholder under this Agreement and that such irrevocable proxy
is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked. Such Stockholder hereby ratifies and confirms all that such irrevocable proxy may lawfully do or cause to be done pursuant to the terms hereof. Such irrevocable proxy is executed
and intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proxy granted by such Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall automatically terminate, without any
notice or other action by any person, upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Such Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies granted with respect to its Subject Shares. If any Stockholder is the beneficial
owner, but not the record owner, of any of the Subject Shares, such Stockholder shall cause the record owner thereof to execute and grant an irrevocable proxy conforming to the above provisions of this Section 1.3. Each Stockholder agrees to
execute any further agreement or form reasonably necessary or appropriate to confirm and effectuate the grant of the proxy contained herein. Such proxy shall automatically terminate upon the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its
terms. Parent may terminate this proxy with respect to a Stockholder at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to such Stockholder. 

Section 1.4 Return of Subject Shares. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn, or the Merger Agreement is terminated
prior to the purchase of the Subject Shares in the Offer or if this Agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, Parent and Purchaser shall promptly return, and shall cause any depositary acting on behalf of Parent and
Purchaser to return, all Subject Shares (and any other Shares) tendered by any Stockholder in the Offer to such Stockholder.

foregoing, such Stockholder may make transfers of Subject Shares by will or by operation of law, in which case the Subject Shares shall continue to be bound by this Agreement and provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. If any involuntary transfer of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares in the Company shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by such Stockholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to
a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the

jurisdiction, then the Federal courts located in the State of Delaware (collectively, the “Delaware Courts”). The parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts for the purpose of any
Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the
jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the Transactions may
not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts. 
 Section 5.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to

 11 








 
agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to its subject matter. 

Section 5.11 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being
enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original
intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 

Section 5.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that each of Parent and Purchaser would be irreparably damaged
if for any reason any Stockholder fails to perform any of the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise, and that each of Parent and Purchaser would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in such
event. Accordingly, it is agreed that each of Parent and Purchaser shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement in any Delaware Court, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon Parent and Purchaser will be deemed cumulative with and not
exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon Parent or Purchaser, and the exercise by Parent or Purchaser of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. 

Section 5.13 Stockholder Capacity. Each Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as a
Stockholder of the Company, and not in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall (or shall require any
Stockholder to attempt to) limit, restrict or otherwise affect any Stockholder who is a director or officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries from acting in such capacity (it being understood that this Agreement shall apply to each
Stockholder solely in each Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of the Subject Shares) or from fulfilling the obligations and responsibilities of such office (including the performance of obligations required by the fiduciary obligations and
responsibilities under applicable Law of such Stockholder acting solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer).
