“Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following after the Effective Date:

 

        (a)          An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the “Voting Securities”) by any “Person” (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act), immediately after which such Person has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding Shares or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to this Section 1.6, Shares or Voting Securities which are acquired in a “Non-Control Acquisition” (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change in Control. A “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by (A) the Company or (B) any corporation or other Person of which a majority of its voting power or its voting equity securities or equity interest is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company (for purposes of this definition, a “Related Entity”), (ii) the Company or any Related Entity, or (iii) any Person in connection with a “Non-Control Transaction” (as hereinafter defined);

        (b)          The individuals who are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) on the Effective Date, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board within any consecutive twelve (12) month period, or, following a Merger which results in a Parent Company, the board of directors of the ultimate Parent Company; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s common stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board (as hereinafter defined), such new director shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; provided further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

 

        (c)          The consummation of:

2

  

  

	
(i)  

	
A merger, consolidation or reorganization with or into the Company or in which securities of the Company are issued (a “Merger”), unless such Merger is a “Non-Control Transaction.”  A “Non-Control Transaction” shall mean a Merger where:

 

	
1.   

	
the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such Merger, own directly or indirectly immediately following such Merger at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of (x) the corporation resulting from such Merger (the “Successor”) if fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Successor is not Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly by another Person (a “Parent Company”), or (y) if there is one or more Parent Companies, the ultimate Parent Company;

 

	
2.   

	
the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Merger constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of (x) the Successor, if there is no Parent Company, or (y) if there is one or more Parent Companies, the ultimate Parent Company; and

(ii)  

	
A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

 

	
(iii)  

	
The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person (other than a transfer to a Related Entity or under conditions that would constitute a Non-Control Transaction with the disposition of assets being regarded as a Merger for this purpose or the distribution to the Company’s stockholders of the stock of a Related Entity or any other assets); or

 

(d)  With respect to the MLP (i) the Company ceasing to own, directly or indirectly, a majority of each class of the outstanding equity interests of the General Partner of the MLP; (ii) the Company ceasing to have the power to designate a majority of the directors of the General Partner of the MLP; or (iii) the removal of the General Partner of the MLP pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Partnership Agreement.

 

3

  

  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur, solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities if:

 

	
  

	
1.

	
such acquisition occurs as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Shares or Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this subparagraph) as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Shares or Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur, or

 

	
  

	
2.

	
within five business days  after a Change in Control would have occurred (but for the operation of this subparagraph), or if the Subject Person acquired Beneficial Ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding Shares or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities inadvertently, then after the Subject Person discovers or is notified by the Company that such acquisition would have triggered a Change in Control (but for the operation of this subparagraph), the Subject Person notifies the Board of Directors that it did so inadvertently, and within two business days after such notification, the Subject Person divests itself of a sufficient number of Shares or Voting Securities so that the Subject Person is the Beneficial Owner of less than twenty percent (20%) of the then outstanding Shares or the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities.

 

1.8            “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

 

1.9            “Company” means ONEOK, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation and any Successor, whether the liability of such Successor under the Plan is established by contract or occurs by operation of law.

          (b)  A material reduction in Base Salary of a Participant from that in effect immediately prior to the Occurrence Date;

         

          (c)  A material reduction in short-term and/or long-term incentive targets from those applicable to a Participant immediately prior to the Occurrence Date;

 

          (d)  The relocation to a new principal place of a Participant’s employment by the Company, which is more than thirty-five (35) miles further from the Participant’s principal place of residence than the Participant’s principal place of employment was prior to such change; or

 

          (e)  The failure of a successor company to explicitly assume the Plan;

 

provided, however, a Participant may consent in writing to any such demotion, loss, reduction, relocation or successor’s failure to assume.  The effect of any written consent of a Participant shall be strictly limited to the terms specified in such written consent.  In order to invoke an Involuntary Termination for a Good Reason Event, a Participant shall give notice of any termination of the Participant’s employment for the Good Reason Event due to any of the events described above by delivery of written notice thereof to the Company within one hundred twenty (120) days after the first occurrence of the event giving rise to such Good Reason Event.  The Company shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice (the “Cure Period”) during which it may remedy the condition. In the event that the Company fails to remedy the condition constituting a Good Reason Event during the Cure Period, a Participant must terminate employment, if at all, within ninety (90) days following the end of the Cure Period in order for such termination of employment to constitute a termination for a Good Reason Event by reason of that event or condition.

A Participant shall not be deemed to have incurred an Involuntary Termination by reason of the transfer of the Participant’s employment between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, or among Subsidiaries. The Plan Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether a Participant’s termination of employment from the Company or any Subsidiary constitutes an Involuntary Termination.  For purposes of the Plan, a Participant will not be considered to have terminated his or her employment relationship unless the termination of employment qualifies as a “separation from service”, as defined under Code section 409A and the regulations thereunder.

 

    1.17           “MLP” means ONEOK Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.

    1.18           “Occurrence Date” means the date on which a Change in Control occurs.

1.22           “Plan Administrator” means the Board; provided, however, that the Board may designate any individual or a committee to administer the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Article 7.

 

1.23           “Severance Multiple” means the number used to determine a Participant’s cash severance under Section 3.1(a) of the Plan, which is subject to change by the Board in accordance with Section 2.2; provided, however, that in no event shall such number exceed three (3).

 

1.24           “Shares” means the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company and any other securities into which such shares are changed or for which such shares are exchanged.

ARTICLE 2

ELIGIBILITY

 

2.1              Participation and Severance Multiples.  Schedule A sets forth the Participants in the Plan as of the Effective Date. Schedule A also sets forth Participants’ applicable Severance Multiples as of the Effective Date for purpose of Section 3.1(a) of the Plan. 

 

2.2              Review by Board. The Board, in its sole discretion, from time to time, shall review the Participants in the Plan and shall determine which, if any, Participants should be added or removed as Participants.

ARTICLE 3

SEVERANCE BENEFITS

 

3.1              Severance Benefits.  Upon an Involuntary Termination within two (2) years after the Occurrence Date, a Participant shall be entitled to the following benefits:

 

          (a)   A single lump sum cash payment by the Company equal to the product the Participant’s Severance Multiple and the Participant’s Annual Compensation; and

6

  

  

(b)  To the extent that the Participant elects continuation coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code (i.e., COBRA continuation coverage), the Company shall reimburse the COBRA premiums paid by the Participant until the earlier of (i) the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Participant’s Employment Termination Date and (ii) the date that the Participant becomes eligible for medical, dental and health insurance benefits from a subsequent employer.  The continued coverage under this Section 3.1(b) shall be provided in a manner that is intended to satisfy an exception to Section 409A of the Code, and therefore not treated as an arrangement that is subject to taxation under Section 409A.

3.2           Termination under Other Circumstances.  No benefits shall be payable under the Plan due to termination of employment on account of (i) death, (ii) disability, (iii) resignation not for a Good Reason Event, (iv) termination by the Company and its Subsidiaries for Cause, (v) an Excluded Termination (as hereinafter defined) or (vi) any other termination of employment that is not an Involuntary Termination that occurs prior to the second anniversary of the Occurrence Date.

3.3           Effect of Severance Payments and Benefits.  Any benefits provided or payments made under the Plan shall not be taken into account as compensation for purposes of determining a Participant’s contributions or benefits under any other employee benefit plan of the Company or Subsidiary.

3.4           Continuance of Employment. If, following a Change in Control described in subsection (d) of the definition of a Change in Control, a Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates under circumstances described in Section 3.1 of the Plan, the Participant shall not be entitled to any severance benefits as a result of such termination of employment if:

 

(a)  the Participant continues in employment with a Post-Transaction Employer (as defined in Section 3.4(b) below); or

 

(b)  the Participant (i) is offered continued employment with (A) the MLP, (B) the General Partner of the MLP, or (C) the Person who immediately after the Change in Control beneficially owns a majority of the outstanding equity interests in the General Partner of the MLP or otherwise controls the General Partner of the MLP, or any Affiliate of such Person (in each case, referred to as the “Post-Transaction Employer”) and (ii) the terms and conditions of such employment (A) would not constitute a Good Reason Event and (B) include severance comparable to that provided under the Plan for two (2) years following the Occurrence Date, which severance would be payable upon a termination of the Participant’s employment with the Post-Transaction Employer under the same circumstances as provided under the Plan.

 

 For purposes of application of this Section 3.4, the terms Cause and Good Reason Event shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan respectively, but the term Company as it is used in those definitions shall be deemed to refer to the Post-Termination Employer of the Participant after the Change in Control, and the term Board as used in the definition of Cause shall be deemed to refer to the board of directors of the Post-Transaction Employer or, if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation of such employer.

 

7

  

  

A termination of employment described in this Section 3.4 is herein referred to as an “Excluded Termination.”  In the circumstances described in this Section 3.4, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any Severance Benefit under the Plan whether or not the Participant accepts the offered employment or continues in employment.  The provisions of this Section 3.4 do not create any entitlement to any Severance Benefit from the Company and its Subsidiaries in any circumstances whatsoever and are to be construed solely as a limitation on such entitlement in the circumstances herein set forth.

 

ARTICLE 4

TIME OF SEVERANCE PAYMENT

 

Payment of the severance payment described in Section 3.1(a) of the Plan shall be conditioned on a Participant’s execution, delivery and non-revocation of a valid and enforceable general release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) during sixty (60) day period following the Termination Date (the “Release Period”). The severance payment described in Section 3.1(a) shall be paid in a lump sum on the Company’s next regular payroll date occurring following the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable; provided, however, that if the Release Period begins in one calendar year and ends in the subsequent calendar year, payment of the severance payment shall occur on the next regular payroll date occurring following the later of (i) January 1 of such subsequent calendar year and (ii) the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable.  

ARTICLE 5

LIMITATION ON PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

 

5.1          The Company shall make the payment and provide the payments and benefits under Article 3; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the payments and benefits provided under Article 3, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Participant receives or is then entitled to receive from the Company, would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, the Company shall reduce such payments and benefits provided to the Participant under Article 3 of the Plan to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit to the Participant shall exceed the net after-tax benefit if such reduction were not made.  In the event that any payment or benefit intended to be provided under the Plan or otherwise is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section 5.1, the Company will effect such reduction by first reducing the benefits described in Section 3.1(a), then, to the extent necessary, by reducing the benefits described in Section 3.1(b).

“Net after-tax benefit” for these purposes shall mean the sum of (i) the total amount payable to the Participant under Article 3, plus (ii) all other payments and benefits which the Participant receives or is then entitled to receive from the Company that would constitute a “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (iii) the amount of federal income taxes payable with respect to the foregoing calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to the Participant (based upon the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code at the time of the payment under Section 3), less (iv) the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payments and benefits described in (i) and (ii) above by Section 4999 of the Code.  The amount of any reduction made under this Section 5.1 in the payment to which the Participant is entitled under Article 3 of this Agreement is

 

8

  

  

hereinafter referred to as the “Relinquished Amount.”

5.2           If the Participant’s payment under Article 3 is reduced under Section 5.1 and, notwithstanding such reduction, the Participant subsequently pays or becomes obligated to pay any excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code on any portion of any payment or benefit the Participant receives (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) in connection with the event giving rise to the Participant’s right to receive payments and benefits under Article 3, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the Relinquished Amount and an amount (“Special Reimbursement”) which, after payment by the Participant of any federal, state and local taxes, including any further excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code resulting from all payments and benefits received (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and including the Relinquished Amount and this Special Reimbursement), equals the total excise tax paid or payable.

5.3           The determination of whether the payments shall be reduced as provided in this Article 5 and the amount of such reduction shall be made at the Company’s expense by an accounting firm retained by the Company at the time the calculation is to be performed, or one selected by the Company from among the five largest accounting firms in the United States (the “Accounting Firm”).  The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to the Company and the Participant within ten (10) days of the Employment Termination Date.  If the Accounting Firm determines that no excise tax is payable by the Participant with respect to the payments, it shall furnish the Participant with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Participant that no excise tax will be imposed with respect to any such payments and, absent manifest error, such Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Participant. If the Accounting Firm determines that an excise tax would be payable, the Participant shall have the right to accept the Determination of the Accounting Firm as to the extent of the reduction, if any, pursuant to this Article 5, or to have such Determination reviewed by an accounting firm selected by the Participant, at the expense of the Company, in which case the determination of such second accounting firm shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and Participant. 

ARTICLE 6

UNFUNDED ARRANGEMENT

 

The Plan is unfunded, and all benefits payable hereunder will be paid, as needed, from the general assets of the Company. The Plan is only a general corporate commitment and each Participant must rely upon the general credit of the Company for the fulfillment of its obligations hereunder.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee by the Company that the assets of the Company will be sufficient to pay any benefits under the Plan or would place any Participant in a secured position ahead of general creditors of the Company. The Participants are unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to their Plan benefits, and the Plan constitutes a promise by the Company to make benefit payments in the future to eligible Participants. No specific assets of the Company have been or shall be set aside, or shall in any way be transferred to a trust or shall be pledged in any way for the performance of the Company’s obligations under the Plan which would remove such assets from being subject to the general creditors of the Company.

ARTICLE 7

ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

9

  

  

7.1          The Plan Administrator shall have the full power and authority to administer the Plan, carry out its terms and conditions and effectuate its purposes. The Plan Administrator shall be the “named fiduciary,” as such term is defined in ERISA, of the Plan, with responsibility for administration of the Plan.

 

7.2          The Plan Administrator shall serve without compensation for its services as such. However, all reasonable expenses of the Plan Administrator shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company upon proper documentation. The Plan Administrator shall be indemnified by the Company against personal liability for actions taken in good faith in the discharge of duties as the Plan Administrator.

 

7.3          The Plan Administrator shall keep all individual and group records relating to Participants and former Participants and all other records necessary for the proper operation of the Plan. Such records shall be made available to the Company and to each Participant for examination during business hours except that a Participant shall examine only such records as pertain exclusively to the examining Participant and to the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall prepare and shall file as required by law or regulation all reports, forms, documents and other items required by ERISA, and every other relevant statute, each as amended, and all regulations thereunder (except that the Company, as payor of the Benefits, shall prepare and distribute to the proper recipients all forms relating to withholding of income or wage taxes, Social Security taxes, and other amounts which may be similarly reportable).

 

ARTICLE 8

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

 

The Board reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time and in any manner without the consent of any affected individual, which right includes, without limitation, the right to change the individuals who are eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) for a period of two (2) years following a Change in Control, the Plan may not be terminated or amended in any manner adverse to any eligible Participant without the written consent of each affected Participant and (ii) any amendment to or termination of the Plan will not adversely affect the benefits otherwise payable to a Participant whose Employment Termination Date occurred prior to the date of such amendment or termination.

 

ARTICLE 9

CLAIMS PROCEDURES

 

9.1          Claim for Benefits. When a benefit is due under the Plan, a Claimant must submit a claim for benefits to the office designated by the Plan Administrator to receive claims within 180 days of the date of a Participant’s Involuntary Termination. For purposes of this Article, “Claimant” means a Participant or an authorized representative of a Participant who makes a claim for benefits under the Plan.

 

9.2          Deadline for Notifications of Claim Determinations. If a Claimant’s claim for benefits under the Plan is denied in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator will provide to the 

 

10

  

  

Claimant a written notice of the claim decision within 90 days of receipt of the claim. This 90-day period may be extended one time by the Plan Administrator for up to 90 days, provided that the Plan Administrator notifies the Claimant, prior to the expiration of such 90-day period, of the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render a decision. Claims not acted upon within the time prescribed herein shall be deemed denied for purposes of proceeding to the review stage.

 

9.3          Contents of Notices of Claims Denials. When a claim is denied (an adverse determination) in full or in part, the Plan Administrator will provide the Claimant a written or electronic notification of the denial within the time frame specified in Section 9.2. This notice will:

 

(a)           explain the specific reasons for the adverse determination;

 

(b)           reference the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse determination is based;

 

(c)           provide a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to complete the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

 

(d)           provide a description of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse claims determination on review.

 

9.4          Appeals of Denied Claims. The Claimant will have 60 days after receiving the notice that the Claimant’s claim is denied to appeal the adverse determination in writing to the Plan Administrator. The Claimant may submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim, and such information will be taken into account during the review, without regard to whether it was submitted or considered in the initial claim determination. In addition, the Claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim. If no appeal of the adverse determination is made in writing to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the Claimant’s receipt of the notice of denial, the denial of the claim is final.

 

9.5          Deadlines for Notifications of Appeals Determinations.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1          Tax Withholding. The Company will calculate the deductions from the amount of the benefit otherwise payable under the Plan for any taxes required to be withheld by federal, state or local government and shall cause them to be withheld.

 

10.2          Plan Not an Employment Contract. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan is not a contract between the Company and its employees, which gives any employee the right to be retained in its employment. Likewise, it is not intended to interfere with the rights of the Company to discharge any employee at any time or to interfere with the employee’s right to terminate his or her employment at any time.

 

10.3          Alienation Prohibited. No benefits hereunder shall be subject to alienation or assignment by a Participant, to attachment by, interference with, or control of any creditor of a Participant, or to being taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or liability of a Participant prior to its actual receipt by a Participant. Any attempted conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage, pledge, or encumbrance of the benefits hereunder prior to payment thereof shall be void.

 

10.4          Gender and Number. If the context requires it, words of one gender when used in the Plan shall include the other genders, and words used in the singular or plural shall include the other.

 

10.5          Severability. If any provision of the Plan is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

 

10.6          Successors.  The Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any of its successors or assigns. The Company shall require any successor to or assignee of (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) all or substantially all of the assets or businesses of the Company (i) to assume unconditionally and expressly the Plan and (ii) to agree to perform or to cause to be performed all of the obligations under the Plan in the same manner and to the same extent as would have been required of the Company had no assignment or succession occurred.

10.7          Assignment; Binding Effect. The Plan shall be binding upon any Successor. The Company shall not assign any of its obligations under the Plan unless (a) such assignment is to a Successor, and (b) the requirements of Section 10.6 are fulfilled.

 

12

  

  

 

10.8          Payments and Benefits under the Plan are not Deferred Compensation under Section 409A of the Code.  It is intended that benefits payable hereunder, whether in form or operation, do not constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and therefore, the benefits are intended to be exempt from the requirements applicable to deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

10.9           Entire Agreement. No employee shall be a Participant in the Plan until any prior agreements or policies relating to severance between such employee and the Company have been terminated.

        6.1    Authorization, etc.    Parent has the full right, power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this
Agreement and to perform Parent's obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Parent and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent,
enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms, subject to (a) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and (b) rules of law
governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. Parent is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware.

 SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS  

        8.1    Termination. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.    This Agreement and all rights and

5

 

termination
of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the date of any modification, waiver, change or amendment of the Merger Agreement executed after the date hereof that is
adverse to the Stockholder or that results in a (a) decrease in the Exchange Ratio or (b) change in the form of consideration payable to Stockholder under the Merger Agreement, and
(iii) the Effective Time. Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement and this Agreement shall become null and void; provided,
however, that (x) nothing in this Section 8.1 shall relieve any party from any liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to its termination, and
(y) the provisions of this Article VIII shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 

        8.2    Expenses.    All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses. 

        8.3    Notices.    Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to either
party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, delivered or made as follows: (a) if delivered by hand, when delivered; (b) if sent on a
business day by email before 5:00 p.m. (Massachusetts time) and receipt is confirmed, when transmitted; (c) if sent by

party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto): 

        if
to Stockholder: 

        at
the address set forth on Schedule 1 to this Agreement; and 

        if
to Parent: 

        at
the address set forth in the Merger Agreement. 

        8.4    Severability.    Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in
any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other
situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that
the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term
or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.
In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and
enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision. 

        8.5    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement and any other documents delivered by the parties in connection herewith
constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect
thereto. No addition to or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be binding upon either party unless made in writing and signed by both parties. 

        8.6    Assignment; Binding Effect.    Except as provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the interests or
obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by either party hereto, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation of any of such interests or obligations shall be void 

6

 

without
the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon Stockholder and Stockholder's heirs, estate, executors and personal
representatives and Stockholder's successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Without limiting any of the restrictions set forth
in Section 2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon any Person to whom any Subject Securities are transferred. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on
any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns) any rights or remedies of any nature. 

        8.7    Independence of Obligations.    The covenants and obligations of Stockholder set forth in this Agreement shall
be construed as independent of any other agreement or arrangement between Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Company or Parent, on the other. The existence of any claim or cause of action by
Stockholder against the Company or Parent shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against Stockholder. 

        8.8    Specific Performance.    The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the
provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor.
The parties agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by a party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the other party shall be entitled, without proof of actual
damages (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages), to seek and to obtain (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance
and performance of any covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining any breach or threatened breach. The parties further agree that neither party nor any other Person shall be
required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.8, and the parties irrevocably
waive any right they may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. 

        8.9    Non-Exclusivity.    The rights and remedies of each party under this Agreement are not exclusive of
or limited by any other rights or remedies which it may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities of the parties under this Agreement are in addition to each party's respective rights, remedies, obligations and
liabilities under common law requirements and under all applicable statutes, rules and regulations. 

        8.10    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.    

        (a)   This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of
the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. In any action between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware. 

        (b)   EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND
DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OF THE ACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES, AGREES AND CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO PREVENT OR DELAY ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH WAIVER. EACH PARTY 

7

 

FURTHER
ACKNOWLEDGES, AGREES AND CERTIFIES THAT: (i) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER; (ii) SUCH PARTY MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND
(iii) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.10(b). 

        8.11    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile
or by electronic delivery shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms of this Agreement. 

        8.12    Captions.    The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be
deemed to be a part of this Agreement and shall not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 

        8.13    Waiver.    No failure on the part of either party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this
Agreement, and no delay on the part of either party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and
no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Neither party shall
be deemed to have waived any claim available to such party arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of such party under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim,
power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on
behalf of such party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given. 

        8.14    Construction.    

        (a)   For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice
versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and
feminine genders. 

        (b)   The parties agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting
party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 

        (c)   As used in this Agreement, the words "include" and
"including," and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words
"without limitation." 

        (d)   Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to "Sections" and "Exhibits" are intended to refer to
Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits to this Agreement. 

        8.15    No Limitation on Actions of Stockholder as Director or Officer.    In the event Stockholder or any Stockholder
Representative is an officer or director of the Company, Stockholder shall not be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Stockholder's capacity as a director or officer or
with respect to such Stockholder Representative. Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in his or her capacity as the record holder and/or beneficial owner of the Stockholder's Subject
Securities, and nothing herein, including Section 4, shall limit or affect any actions taken (or omissions to take any action) by Stockholder or any Stockholder Representative in his or her
capacity as a director or officer of the Company. 

        8.16    Option Exercises.    Nothing in this Agreement shall require Stockholder to exercise any Company Options or
warrants to purchase Company Common Stock. 

8

 

        8.17    No Ownership Interest.    Except as otherwise provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to vest in Parent any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Subject Securities. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the
Subject Securities shall remain vested in and belong to Stockholder, and Parent shall not have any authority to manage, direct, restrict, regulate, govern, or administer any of the policies or
operations of the Company or exercise any power or authority to direct Stockholder in the voting of any of the Subject Securities, except as otherwise provided herein. 

        8.18    Further Assurances.    The parties will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all
further documents and instruments and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable
under applicable laws and regulations, to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.
