ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
TABLEAU: FEBRUARY 28, 2013 
 APPROVED BY THE
STOCKHOLDERS OF TABLEAU: MARCH 8, 2013 
 EFFECTIVE
DATE: MAY 16, 2013 
 AMENDED BY THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS OF TABLEAU: JANUARY 28, 2016 

AMENDMENT APPROVED BY THE STOCKHOLDERS OF
TABLEAU: MAY 12, 2016 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED
BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF SALESFORCE.COM, INC.: 

AUGUST 1, 2019 
  

	1.	 GENERAL. 

(a) Successor to and Continuation of Prior Plan. 

(i) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Company acquired Tableau pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
June 9, 2019, by and among salesforce.com, inc., Sausalito Acquisition Corp., and Tableau. As of the Closing Date, the Tableau Software, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended was renamed the Salesforce Tableau Equity Plan. Also effective
as of the Closing Date, the Plan was amended and restated as set forth herein. 
 (ii) The Plan was effective as of
May 16, 2013, and is the successor to and continuation of the Tableau Software, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Prior Plan”). From and after 12:01 a.m. Pacific time on the Effective Date, no additional
stock awards will be granted under the Prior Plan. All stock awards granted under the Prior Plan remain subject to the terms of the Prior Plan. All Awards granted on or after 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on the Effective Date under the Plan are subject
to the terms of this Plan. 
 (iii) Any shares of Tableau that remained available for future grants under the Prior
Plan as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on the Effective Date ceased to be available under the Prior Plan at such time. Instead, that number of shares of common stock of Tableau equal to the number of shares of Class B common stock of Tableau then
available for future grants under the Prior Plan (the “Prior Plan’s Available Reserve”) was added to the Share Reserve (as further described in Section 3(a) below) and became immediately available for grants and
issuance pursuant to Stock Awards under this Plan, up to the maximum number set forth in Section 3(a) below. 

(iv) From and after 12:01 a.m. Pacific time on the Effective Date, a number of shares of common stock of Tableau equal
to the total number of shares of Class B common stock of Tableau and Class A common stock of Tableau subject to outstanding stock awards granted under the Prior Plan that (A) expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise or
settlement, (B) are forfeited because of the failure to meet a contingency or condition required to vest such shares or repurchased at the original issuance price, or (C) are otherwise reacquired or are withheld (or not issued) to satisfy
a tax withholding obligation in connection with an award (the “Returning Shares”) will immediately be added to the Share Reserve (as further described in Section 3(a) below)

 
as and when such shares become Returning Shares (up to the maximum number set forth in Section 3(a)), and become available for issuance pursuant to Stock Awards granted hereunder. 

(b) Eligible Award Recipients. Employees, Directors and Consultants are eligible to receive Awards. From and after the Closing
Date, (i) the only individuals eligible to receive grants of new Awards under the Plan are (A) Employees and Consultants of Tableau as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and (B) Employees and Consultants of the Company hired on
or following the Closing Date and (ii) Directors shall not be eligible to receive grants of new Awards (it being understood that shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Plan to any Employees, Directors and Consultants pursuant to Awards
granted prior to the Closing Date). 
 (c) Available Awards. The Plan provides for the grant of the following Awards:
(i) Incentive Stock Options; (ii) Nonstatutory Stock Options; (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights; (iv) Restricted Stock Awards; (v) Restricted Stock Unit Awards; (vi) Performance Stock Awards; (vii) Performance Cash
Awards; and (viii) Other Stock Awards. 
 (d) Purpose. This Plan, through the granting of Awards, is intended to help the
Company secure and retain the services of eligible award recipients, provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and any Affiliate and provide a means by which the eligible recipients may benefit from
increases in value of the Common Stock. 
  

	2.	 ADMINISTRATION. 

(a) Administration by Board. The Board will administer the Plan. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a Committee
or Committees, as provided in Section 2(c). 
 (b) Powers of Board. The Board will have the power, subject to, and within
the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan: 
 (i) To determine: (A) who will be granted Awards;
(B) when and how each Award will be granted; (C) what type of Award will be granted; (D) the provisions of each Award (which need not be identical), including when a person will be permitted to exercise or otherwise receive cash or
Common Stock under the Award; (E) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to, or the cash value of, an Award; and (F) the Fair Market Value applicable to a Stock Award. 

(ii) To construe and interpret the Plan and Awards granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and
regulations for administration of the Plan and Awards. The Board, in the exercise of these powers, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award Agreement or in the written terms of a Performance Cash Award, in a
manner and to the extent it will deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan or Award fully effective. 
 (iii) To
settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Awards granted under it. 

  
 -2- 

 (iv) To accelerate, in whole or in part, the time at which an Award
may be exercised or vest (or at which cash or shares of Common Stock may be issued). 
 (v) To suspend or terminate
the Plan at any time. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, suspension or termination of the Plan will not materially impair a Participant’s rights under his or her then-outstanding Award without his or her written
consent except as provided in subsection (viii) below. 
 (vi) To amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems
necessary or advisable, including, without limitation, adopting amendments relating to Incentive Stock Options and nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and/or making the Plan or Awards granted under the Plan exempt
from or compliant with the requirements for Incentive Stock Options or exempt from or compliant with the requirements for nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, subject to the limitations, if any, of applicable law.
If required by applicable law or listing requirements, and except as provided in Section 9(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the Company will seek stockholder approval of any amendment of the Plan that (A) materially increases the
number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan, (B) materially expands the class of individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, (C) materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants under the
Plan, (D) materially reduces the price at which shares of Common Stock may be issued or purchased under the Plan, (E) materially extends the term of the Plan, or (F) materially expands the types of Awards available for issuance under
the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan (including subsection (viii) below) or an Award Agreement, no amendment of the Plan will materially impair a Participant’s rights under an outstanding Award without the Participant’s
written consent. 
 (vii) To submit any amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval, including, but not limited to,
amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of (A) Section 422 of the Code regarding “incentive stock options” or (B) Rule 16b-3 of Exchange Act or any successor rule. 

(viii) To approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan and to amend the terms of any one or more outstanding
Awards, including, but not limited to, amendments to provide terms more favorable to the Participant than previously provided in the Award Agreement, subject to any specified limits in the Plan that are not subject to Board discretion. A
Participant’s rights under any Award will not be impaired by any such amendment unless the Company requests the consent of the affected Participant, and the Participant consents in writing. However, a Participant’s rights will not be
deemed to have been impaired by any such amendment if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that the amendment, taken as a whole, does not materially impair the Participant’s rights. In addition, subject to the limitations of applicable
law, if any, the Board may amend the terms of any one or more Awards without the affected Participant’s consent (A) to maintain the qualified status of the Award as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code, (B) to
change the terms of an Incentive Stock Option, if such change results in impairment of the Award solely because it impairs the qualified status of the Award as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the

  
 -3- 

 
Code, (C) to clarify the manner of exemption from, or to bring the Award into compliance with, Section 409A of the Code, or (D) to comply with other applicable laws or listing
requirements. 
 (ix) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Board deems necessary or
expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and that are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan and/or Award Agreements. 

(x) To adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate
(A) to permit or facilitate participation in the Plan by Employees, Directors or Consultants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or (B) allow Awards to qualify for special tax treatment in a foreign
jurisdiction; provided that Board approval will not be necessary for immaterial modifications to the Plan or any Award Agreement that are required for compliance with the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction. 

Except as provided in Section 9, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Board shall not have the power
to effect, with or without the consent of any adversely affected Participant, the reduction of the of the exercise, purchase or strike price of any outstanding Stock Award or any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted
accounting principles. 
 (c) Delegation to Committee. 

(i) General. The Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees.
If administration of the Plan is delegated to a Committee, the Committee will have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to
delegate to a subcommittee of the Committee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board will thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee). Any delegation of administrative
powers will be reflected in resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, adopted from time to time by the Board or Committee (as applicable). The Committee may, at any time, abolish the subcommittee and/or revest in the Committee
any powers delegated to the subcommittee. The Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated. 

(ii) Rule 16b-3 Compliance. The Committee may consist solely of two or
more Non-Employee Directors, in accordance with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. 

(d) Delegation to an Officer. The Board may delegate to one (1) or more Officers the authority to do one or both of the
following: (i) designate Employees who are not Officers to be recipients of Options and SARs (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, other Stock Awards) and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the terms of such Awards; and
(ii) determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to such Stock Awards granted to such Employees; provided, however, that the Board resolutions regarding such 

  
 -4- 

 
delegation will specify the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to the Stock Awards granted by such Officer and that such Officer may not grant a Stock Award to himself or
herself. Any such Stock Awards will be granted on the form of Stock Award Agreement most recently approved for use by the Committee or the Board, unless otherwise provided for in the resolutions approving the delegation authority. The Board may not
delegate authority to an Officer who is acting solely in the capacity of an Officer (and not also as a Director) to determine the Fair Market Value (as defined below). 

(e) Effect of Board’s Decision. All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith will
not be subject to review by any person and will be final, binding and conclusive on all persons. 
  

	3.	 SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

 (a) Share Reserve. 

(i) Subject to Section 9, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan from and
after the Closing Date will not exceed 11,712,661 shares of Common Stock (the “Share Reserve”). 

(ii) For clarity, the Share Reserve is a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under to
the Plan. As a single share may be subject to grant more than once (e.g., if a share subject to a Stock Award is forfeited, it may be made subject to grant again as provided in Section 3(b) below), the Share Reserve is not a limit on the
number of Stock Awards that can be granted. 
 (iii) Shares may be issued under the terms of this Plan in connection
with a merger or acquisition as permitted by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c), NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, AMEX Company Guide Section 711 or other applicable rule, and such issuance will not reduce the number of shares available
for issuance under the Plan. 
 (b) Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve. Following the Closing, if a Stock Award or any
portion of a Stock Award (i) expires or otherwise terminates without all of the shares covered by the Stock Award having been issued or (ii) is settled in cash (i.e., the Participant receives cash rather than stock), such
expiration, termination or settlement will reduce (or otherwise offset) the number of shares of Common Stock that are available for issuance under the Plan. 

(c) Incentive Stock Option Limit. Subject to Section 9(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the aggregate maximum
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued on the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will be 110,300,000 shares of Common Stock. 

(d) Individual Limitations. Subject to Section 9(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the following limitations will
apply. 
 (i) A maximum of 827,250 shares of Common Stock subject to Options, SARs and Other Stock Awards whose value
is determined by reference to an increase 

  
 -5- 

 
over an exercise or strike price of at least 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date any such Stock Award is granted may be granted under the Plan to any one Participant during any calendar
year. 
 (ii) A maximum of 827,250 shares of Common Stock subject to Performance Stock Awards may be granted to any
one Participant during any one calendar year (whether the grant, vesting or exercise is contingent upon the attainment during the Performance Period of the Performance Goals). 

(iii) A maximum of $750,000 may be granted as a Performance Cash Award to any one Participant during any one calendar
year. 
 If a Performance Stock Award is in the form of an Option, it will count only against the Performance Stock Award limit. If a
Performance Stock Award could (but is not required to) be paid out in cash, it will count only against the Performance Stock Award limit. 

(e) Source of Shares. The stock issuable under the Plan will be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock,
including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market or otherwise. 
  

	4.	 ELIGIBILITY. 

(a) Eligibility for Specific Stock Awards. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or a
“parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” thereof (as such terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code). Stock Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors and
Consultants; provided, however, that Stock Awards may not be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants who are providing Continuous Service only to any “parent” of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the
Securities Act, unless (i) the stock underlying such Stock Awards is treated as “service recipient stock” under Section 409A of the Code (for example, because the Stock Awards are granted pursuant to a corporate transaction such
as a spin off transaction), or (ii) the Company, in consultation with its legal counsel, has determined that such Stock Awards are otherwise exempt from or comply with the distribution requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 

(b) Ten Percent Stockholders. A Ten Percent Stockholder will not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise price
of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant. 

 

	5.	 PROVISIONS RELATING TO OPTIONS
AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 

 Each Option or SAR will
be in such form and will contain such terms and conditions as the Board deems appropriate. All Options will be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a
separate certificate or certificates will be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Option. If an Option is not specifically designated as an Incentive Stock Option, or if an Option is designated as an Incentive
Stock Option but some portion or all of the Option fails 

  
 -6- 

 
to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the applicable rules, then the Option (or portion thereof) will be a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The provisions of separate Options or SARs need not
be identical; provided, however, that each Award Agreement will conform to (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: 

(a) Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, no Option or SAR will be
exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date of its grant or such shorter period specified in the Award Agreement. Following the Closing, no Option or SAR granted on or following the Closing Date will be exercisable after the
expiration of seven years from the date of its grant or such shorter period specified in the Award Agreement. 
 (b) Exercise
Price. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise or strike price of each Option or SAR will be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option or SAR on
the date the Award is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option or SAR may be granted with an exercise or strike price lower than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Award if such Award is granted pursuant to an
assumption of or substitution for another option or stock appreciation right pursuant to a Corporate Transaction and in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and, if applicable, Section 424(a) of the Code.
Each SAR will be denominated in shares of Common Stock equivalents. 
 (c) Purchase Price for Options. The purchase price of
Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable law and as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, by any combination of the methods of payment set forth below. The Board will
have the authority to grant Options that do not permit all of the following methods of payment (or otherwise restrict the ability to use certain methods) and to grant Options that require the consent of the Company to use a particular method of
payment. The permitted methods of payment are as follows: 
 (i) by cash, check, bank draft or money order payable to
the Company; 
 (ii) pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board
that, prior to the issuance of the stock subject to the Option, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds;

 (iii) by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock; 

(iv) if an Option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the
Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the Company will accept
cash or other payment from the Participant to the extent of any 

  
 -7- 

 
remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued. Shares of Common Stock will no longer be subject to an Option and
will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (A) shares issuable upon exercise are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (B) shares are delivered to the Participant as a result of such exercise, and
(C) shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations; or 
 (v) in any other form of legal
consideration that may be acceptable to the Board and specified in the applicable Award Agreement. 
 (d) Exercise and Payment of
a SAR. To exercise any outstanding SAR, the Participant must provide written notice of exercise to the Company in compliance with the provisions of the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement evidencing such SAR. The appreciation distribution payable
on the exercise of a SAR will be not greater than an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of the exercise of the SAR) of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Common Stock
equivalents in which the Participant is vested under such SAR (with respect to which the Participant is exercising the SAR on such date), over (B) the aggregate strike price of the number of Common Stock equivalents with respect to which the
Participant is exercising the SAR on such date. The appreciation distribution may be paid in Common Stock, in cash, in any combination of the two or in any other form of consideration, as determined by the Board and contained in the Award Agreement
evidencing such SAR. 
 (e) Transferability of Options and SARs. The Board may, in its sole discretion, impose such
limitations on the transferability of Options and SARs as the Board will determine. In the absence of such a determination by the Board to the contrary, the following restrictions on the transferability of Options and SARs will apply: 

(i) Restrictions on Transfer. An Option or SAR will not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution (or pursuant to subsections (ii) and (iii) below), and will be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. The Board may permit transfer of the Option or SAR in a manner that is not prohibited by
applicable tax and securities laws. Except as explicitly provided herein, neither an Option nor a SAR may be transferred for consideration. 

(ii) Domestic Relations Orders. Subject to the approval of the Board or a duly authorized Officer, an Option or
SAR may be transferred pursuant to the terms of a domestic relations order, official marital settlement agreement or other divorce or separation instrument as permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation
1.421-1(b)(2). If an Option is an Incentive Stock Option, such Option may be deemed to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option as a result of such transfer. 

(iii) Beneficiary Designation. Subject to the approval of the Board or a duly authorized Officer, a Participant
may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form approved by the Company (or the designated broker), designate a third party who, on the death of the Participant, will thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option or SAR and receive the
Common Stock or other consideration resulting from such exercise. In 

  
 -8- 

 
the absence of such a designation, the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate will be entitled to exercise the Option or SAR and receive the Common Stock or other
consideration resulting from such exercise. However, the Company may prohibit designation of a beneficiary at any time, including due to any conclusion by the Company that such designation would be inconsistent with the provisions of applicable
laws. 
 (f) Vesting Generally. The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or SAR may vest and therefore
become exercisable in periodic installments that may or may not be equal. The Option or SAR may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may or may not be exercised (which may be based on the satisfaction of
Performance Goals or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options or SARs may vary. The provisions of this Section 5(f) are subject to any Option or SAR provisions governing the minimum number
of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option or SAR may be exercised. 
 (g) Termination of Continuous Service. Except as
otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, if a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates (other than for Cause and other than upon the Participant’s death or
Disability), the Participant may exercise his or her Option or SAR (to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise such Award as of the date of termination of Continuous Service) within the period of time ending on the earlier of
(i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service and (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If, after termination of
Continuous Service, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option or SAR within the applicable time frame, the Option or SAR will terminate. 

(h) Extension of Termination Date. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, if the exercise of an Option
or SAR following the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service (other than for Cause and other than upon the Participant’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock
would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option or SAR will terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a total period of three (3) months (that need not be consecutive) after the termination of
the Participant’s Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option or SAR would not be in violation of such registration requirements, and (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the applicable Award
Agreement. In addition, unless otherwise provided in a Participant’s applicable Award Agreement, if the sale of any Common Stock received upon exercise of an Option or SAR following the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service
(other than for Cause) would violate the Company’s insider trading policy, then the Option or SAR will terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a period of months (that need not be consecutive) equal to the applicable
post-termination exercise period after the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service during which the sale of the Common Stock received upon exercise of the Option or SAR would not be in violation of the Company’s insider trading
policy, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 
 (i)
Disability of Participant. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, if a Participant’s 

  
 -9- 

 
Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option or SAR (to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise
such Option or SAR as of the date of termination of Continuous Service), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date 12 months following such termination of Continuous Service, and (ii) the expiration of the
term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option or SAR within the applicable time frame, the Option or SAR (as applicable)
will terminate. 
 (j) Death of Participant. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, or other agreement
between the Participant and the Company, if (i) a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Participant’s death, or (ii) the Participant dies within the period (if any) specified in the applicable Award
Agreement for exercisability after the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service (for a reason other than death), then the Option or SAR may be exercised (to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option or SAR as of
the date of death) by the Participant’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option or SAR by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option or SAR upon the Participant’s death, but only
within the period ending on the earlier of (i) the date 18 months following the date of death, and (ii) the expiration of the term of such Option or SAR as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If, after the Participant’s
death, the Option or SAR is not exercised within the applicable time frame, the Option or SAR will terminate. 
 (k) Termination
for Cause. Except as explicitly provided otherwise in a Participant’s Award Agreement or other individual written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant, if a Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated
for Cause, the Option or SAR will terminate upon the date on which the event giving rise to the termination for Cause first occurred, and the Participant will be prohibited from exercising his or her Option or SAR from and after the date on which
the event giving rise to the termination for Cause first occurred (or, if required by law, the date of termination of Continuous Service). If a Participant’s Continuous Service is suspended pending an investigation of the existence of Cause,
all of the Participant’s rights under the Option or SAR will also be suspended during the investigation period. 
 (l) Non-Exempt Employees. If an Option or SAR is granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the
Option or SAR will not be first exercisable for any shares of Common Stock until at least 6 months following the date of grant of the Option or SAR (although the Award may vest prior to such date). Consistent with the provisions of the U.S. Worker
Economic Opportunity Act, (i) if such non-exempt Employee dies or suffers a Disability, (ii) upon a Corporate Transaction in which such Option or SAR is not assumed, continued, or substituted,
(iii) upon a Change in Control, or (iv) upon the non-exempt Employee’s retirement (as such term may be defined in the non-exempt Employee’s
applicable Award Agreement, in another agreement between the non-exempt Employee and the Company, or, if no such definition, in accordance with the Company’s then current employment policies and
guidelines), the vested portion of any Options and SARs may be exercised earlier than 6 months following the date of grant. The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by a
non-exempt Employee in connection with 

  
 -10- 

 
the exercise or vesting of an Option or SAR will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay. To the extent permitted and/or required for compliance with the U.S. Worker Economic Opportunity
Act to ensure that any income derived by a non-exempt Employee in connection with the exercise, vesting or issuance of any shares under any other Stock Award will be exempt from such employee’s regular
rate of pay, the provisions of this paragraph will apply to all Stock Awards and are hereby incorporated by reference into such Stock Award Agreements. 
  

	6.	 PROVISIONS OF STOCK AWARDS OTHER
THAN OPTIONS AND SARS. 

 (a) Restricted Stock
Awards. Each Restricted Stock Award Agreement will be in such form and will contain such terms and conditions as the Board deems appropriate. To the extent consistent with the Company’s bylaws, at the Board’s election, shares of Common
Stock may be (x) held in book entry form subject to the Company’s instructions until any restrictions relating to the Restricted Stock Award lapse, or (y) evidenced by a certificate, which certificate will be held in such form and
manner as determined by the Board. The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Restricted Stock Award Agreements need not be identical. Each Restricted Stock
Award Agreement will conform to (through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions: 

(i) Consideration. A Restricted Stock Award may be awarded in consideration for (A) cash, check, bank draft
or money order payable to the Company, (B) past services to the Company or an Affiliate, or (C) any other form of legal consideration (including future services) that may be acceptable to the Board, in its sole discretion, and permissible
under applicable law. 
 (ii) Vesting. Shares of Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Award
Agreement may be subject to forfeiture to the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board. 

(iii) Termination of Participant’s Continuous Service. If a Participant’s Continuous Service
terminates, the Company may receive through a forfeiture condition or a repurchase right, any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant that have not vested as of the date of termination of Continuous Service under the terms of
the Restricted Stock Award Agreement. 
 (iv) Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under
the Restricted Stock Award Agreement will be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, as the Board will determine in its sole discretion, so long as Common Stock
awarded under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement remains subject to the terms of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement. 

(v) Dividends. A Restricted Stock Award Agreement may provide that any dividends paid on Restricted Stock Awards
will be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture restrictions as apply to the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award to which they relate. 

  
 -11- 

 (b) Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Each Restricted Stock Unit
Award Agreement will be in such form and will contain such terms and conditions as the Board deems appropriate. The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate
Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements need not be identical. Each Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement will conform to (through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement or otherwise) the
substance of each of the following provisions: 
 (i) Consideration. At the time of grant of a Restricted Stock
Unit Award, the Board will determine the consideration, if any, to be paid by the Participant upon delivery of each share of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award. The consideration to be paid (if any) by the Participant for each
share of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Unit Award may be paid in any form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board, in its sole discretion, and permissible under applicable law. 

(ii) Vesting. At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Board may impose such restrictions
on or conditions to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit Award as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. 

(iii) Payment. A Restricted Stock Unit Award may be settled by the delivery of shares of Common Stock, their cash
equivalent, any combination thereof or in any other form of consideration, as determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. 

(iv) Restrictions. At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Board, as it deems appropriate,
may impose such restrictions or conditions that delay the delivery of the shares of Common Stock (or their cash equivalent) subject to a Restricted Stock Unit Award to a time after the vesting of such Restricted Stock Unit Award. 

(v) Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares of Common Stock covered by a
Restricted Stock Unit Award, as determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. At the sole discretion of the Board, such dividend equivalents may be converted into additional shares of Common Stock covered by the
Restricted Stock Unit Award in such manner as determined by the Board. Any additional shares covered by the Restricted Stock Unit Award credited by reason of such dividend equivalents will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions of the
underlying Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement to which they relate. 
 (vi) Termination of Participant’s
Continuous Service. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, such portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award that has not vested will be forfeited upon the Participant’s termination of Continuous
Service. 
 (c) Performance Awards. 

  
 -12- 

 (i) Performance Stock Awards. A Performance
Stock Award is a Stock Award (covering a number of shares not in excess of that set forth in Section 3(d) above) that is payable (including that may be granted, vest or exercised) contingent upon the attainment during a Performance Period of
certain Performance Goals. A Performance Stock Award may, but need not, require the completion of a specified period of Continuous Service. The length of any Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be achieved during the Performance Period, and
the measure of whether and to what degree such Performance Goals have been attained will be conclusively determined by the Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the applicable
Award Agreement, the Board may determine that cash may be used in payment of Performance Stock Awards. 
 (ii)
Performance Cash Awards. A Performance Cash Award is a cash award (for a dollar value not in excess of that set forth in Section 3(d)(iii) above) that is payable contingent upon the attainment during a Performance Period of certain
Performance Goals. A Performance Cash Award may also require the completion of a specified period of Continuous Service. At the time of grant of a Performance Cash Award, the length of any Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be achieved
during the Performance Period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such Performance Goals have been attained will be conclusively determined by the Committee or the Board, in its sole discretion. The Board may specify the form of payment
of Performance Cash Awards, which may be cash or other property, or may provide for a Participant to have the option for his or her Performance Cash Award, or such portion thereof as the Board may specify, to be paid in whole or in part in cash or
other property. 
 (iii) Discretion. The Board retains the discretion to reduce or eliminate the compensation
or economic benefit due upon attainment of Performance Goals and to define the manner of calculating the performance criteria it selects to use for a Performance Period. 

(d) Other Stock Awards. Other forms of Stock Awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Common
Stock, including the appreciation in value thereof (e.g., options or stock rights with an exercise price or strike price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of grant) may be granted either alone or in addition to
Stock Awards provided for under Section 5 and the preceding provisions of this Section 6. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board will have sole and complete authority to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at
which such Other Stock Awards will be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) to be granted pursuant to such Other Stock Awards and all other terms and conditions of such Other Stock Awards. 

 

	7.	 COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

 (a) Availability of Shares. The Company will keep available at all times the number of shares of
Common Stock reasonably required to satisfy then-outstanding Stock Awards. 

  
 -13- 

 (b) Law Compliance. The Company will seek to obtain from each regulatory
commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Stock Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking will not
require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Stock Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts and at a reasonable cost, the Company is unable to obtain from
any such regulatory commission or agency the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company will be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common
Stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained. A Participant will not be eligible for the grant of an Award or the subsequent issuance of cash or Common Stock pursuant to the Award if such grant or issuance
would be in violation of any applicable securities law. 
 (c) No Obligation to Notify or Minimize Taxes. The Company will
have no duty or obligation to any Participant to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising such Stock Award. Furthermore, the Company will have no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such holder of a pending termination or
expiration of an Award or a possible period in which the Award may not be exercised. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Award to the holder of such Award. 

 

	8.	 MISCELLANEOUS. 

(a) Use of Proceeds from Sales of Common Stock. Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Stock Awards will
constitute general funds of the Company. 
 (b) Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Awards. Corporate action constituting a
grant by the Company of an Award to any Participant will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is
communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant. In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Board consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action constituting the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise
price, vesting schedule or number of shares) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement as a result of a clerical error in the papering of the Award Agreement, the corporate records will control and the Participant will have no legally
binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement. 
 (c) Stockholder Rights. No Participant will be deemed to be the
holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award unless and until (i) such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of, or the issuance of shares of Common
Stock under, the Stock Award pursuant to its terms, and (ii) the issuance of the Common Stock subject to such Stock Award has been entered into the books and records of the Company. 

(d) No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan, any Award Agreement or any other instrument executed thereunder
or in connection with any Award 

  
 -14- 

 
granted pursuant thereto will confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or will affect the
right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, including, but not limited to, Cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such
Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the
Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be. 
 (e) Change in Time Commitment. In the event a Participant’s regular
level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services for the Company and any Affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an Employee of the Company and the Employee has a change in status from a
full-time Employee to a part-time Employee or takes an extended leave of absence) after the date of grant of any Award to the Participant, the Board has the right in its sole discretion to (i) make a corresponding reduction in the number of
shares or cash amount subject to any portion of such Award that is scheduled to vest or become payable after the date of such change in time commitment, and (ii) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting or payment
schedule applicable to such Award. In the event of any such reduction, the Participant will have no right with respect to any portion of the Award that is so reduced or extended. 

(f) Incentive Stock Option Limitations. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of
Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Affiliates) exceeds $100,000 (or such other limit established in the
Code) or otherwise does not comply with the rules governing Incentive Stock Options, the Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) or otherwise do not comply with such rules will be
treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Option Agreement(s). 
 (g)
Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant’s knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating,
alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award, and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock
Award for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, will be inoperative if
(i) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise of a Stock Award or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) as to any
particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on
stock certificates 

  
 -15- 

 
issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the
Common Stock. 
 (h) Withholding Obligations. Unless prohibited by the terms of an Award Agreement, the Company may, in its
sole discretion, satisfy any U.S. federal, state, local, foreign or other tax withholding obligation relating to an Award by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) causing the Participant to tender a cash payment;
(ii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to the Participant in connection with the Award; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding
the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such other amount as may be necessary to avoid classification of the Stock Award as a liability for financial accounting purposes); (iii) withholding cash from an Award settled in
cash; (iv) withholding payment from any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant, including proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Stock Award; or (v) by such other method as may be set forth in the Award
Agreement. 
 (i) Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document will include any
agreement or document delivered electronically, filed publicly at www.sec.gov (or any successor website thereto), or posted on the Company’s intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled by the Company to which the Participant
has access). 
 (j) Deferrals. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine
that the delivery of Common Stock or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Award may be deferred and may establish programs and procedures for deferral elections to be made by Participants.
Deferrals by Participants will be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code (to the extent applicable to a Participant). Consistent with Section 409A of the Code, the Board may provide for distributions while a Participant is still
an employee or otherwise providing services to the Company. The Board is authorized to make deferrals of Awards and determine when, and in what annual percentages, Participants may receive payments, including lump sum payments, following the
Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, and implement such other terms and conditions consistent with the provisions of the Plan and in accordance with applicable law. 

(k) Compliance with Section 409A. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in an Award Agreement, the Plan and
Award Agreements will be interpreted to the greatest extent possible in a manner that makes the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and, to the extent not so exempt, in compliance with Section 409A
of the Code. If the Board determines that any Award granted hereunder is not exempt from and is therefore subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award will incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to
avoid the consequences specified in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, and to the extent an Award Agreement is silent on terms necessary for compliance, such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Plan (and unless the Award Agreement specifically provides otherwise), if the shares of Common Stock are publicly traded, and if a Participant holding an Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” under
Section 409A of the Code is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, no 

  
 -16- 

 
distribution or payment of any amount that is due because of a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code without regard to alternative definitions
thereunder) will be issued or paid before the date that is six (6) months following the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death, unless such distribution or
payment can be made in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, and any amounts so deferred will be paid in a lump sum on the day after such six (6) month period elapses, with the balance paid thereafter on the original
schedule. 
 (l) Clawback/Recovery. All Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any
clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law. In addition, the Board may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Board determines necessary or appropriate, including, but not limited
to, a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired shares of Common Stock or other cash or property upon the occurrence of Cause. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for
“good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or an Affiliate. 
  

	9.	 ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN
COMMON STOCK; OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS. 

(a) Capitalization Adjustments. In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board will appropriately and proportionately
adjust: (i) the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a); (ii) the class(es) and maximum number of securities that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options
pursuant to Section 3(c); (iii) the class(es) and maximum number of securities that may be awarded to any person pursuant to Section 3(d); and (iv) the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of stock subject to
outstanding Stock Awards. The Board will make such adjustments, and its determination will be final, binding and conclusive. 
 (b)
Dissolution or Liquidation. Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Award Agreement, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Stock Awards (other than Stock Awards consisting of vested and outstanding
shares of Common Stock not subject to a forfeiture condition or the Company’s right of repurchase) will terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and the shares of Common Stock subject to the
Company’s repurchase rights or subject to a forfeiture condition may be repurchased or reacquired by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the holder of such Stock Award is providing Continuous Service; provided, however, that the
Board may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all Stock Awards to become fully vested, exercisable and/or no longer subject to repurchase or forfeiture (to the extent such Stock Awards have not previously expired or terminated) before the
dissolution or liquidation is completed but contingent on its completion. 
 (c) Transaction. The following provisions will
apply to Stock Awards in the event of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing the Stock Award or any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant

  
 -17- 

 
or unless otherwise expressly provided by the Board at the time of grant of a Stock Award. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the
Board will take one or more of the following actions with respect to Stock Awards, contingent upon the closing or completion of the Corporate Transaction: 

(i) arrange for the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s
parent company) to assume or continue the Stock Award or to substitute a similar stock award for the Stock Award (including, but not limited to, an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the
Corporate Transaction); 
 (ii) arrange for the assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the
Company in respect of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Stock Award to the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company); 

(iii) accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of the Stock Award (and, if applicable, the time at which the Stock
Award may be exercised) to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction as the Board will determine (or, if the Board will not determine such a date, to the date that is 5 days prior to the effective date of the Corporate
Transaction), with such Stock Award terminating if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction; 

(iv) arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with
respect to the Stock Award; 
 (v) cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the Stock Award, to the extent not vested
or not exercised prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, in exchange for such cash consideration, if any, as the Board, in its sole discretion, may consider appropriate; and 

(vi) cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the Stock Award, to the extent not vested or not exercised prior to the
effective time of the Corporate Transaction, in exchange for a payment, in such form as may be determined by the Board equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property the Participant would have received upon the exercise of the
Stock Award immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, over (B) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise. 

The Board need not take the same action or actions with respect to all Stock Awards or portions thereof or with respect to all Participants.
The Board may take different actions with respect to the vested and unvested portions of a Stock Award. 
 In the absence of any affirmative
determination by the Board at the time of a Corporate Transaction, each outstanding Stock Award will be assumed or an equivalent Stock Award will be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation
(the “Successor Corporation”), unless the Successor Corporation does not agree to assume the Stock Award or to substitute an equivalent Stock Award, in which case such Stock Award will terminate upon the consummation of the
transaction. 

  
 -18- 

 (d) Change in Control. A Stock Award may be subject to additional acceleration
of vesting and exercisability upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the Stock Award Agreement for such Stock Award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant, but
in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur. 
  

	10.	 TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE
PLAN. 

 The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Awards may be granted after the
tenth (10th) anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date the Plan is adopted by the Board (the “Adoption Date”), or (ii) the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company. No Awards may be granted
under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated. 
  

	11.	 EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN; TIMING
OF FIRST GRANT OR EXERCISE. 

 The Plan came
into existence on the Adoption Date. In addition, no Stock Award may be exercised (or, in the case of a Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award, Performance Stock Award, or Other Stock Award, may be granted) and no Performance Cash Award
may be settled unless and until the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, which approval will be within 12 months after the Adoption Date. 
  

	12.	 CHOICE OF LAW. 

The laws of the State of Delaware will govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without
regard to that state’s conflict of laws rules. 
  

	13.	 MINIMUM VESTING. 

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, equity-based Awards granted under the Plan on and following the Closing Date may not
become exercisable, vest or be settled, in whole or in part, prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, except that the Board (or committee of the board, as applicable) may provide that Awards
become exercisable, vest or settle prior to such date in the event of the Participant’s death or Disability or in the event of a Corporate Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to 5% of the sum of (a) the number of Shares
available for future grants (but not subject to outstanding Awards) on the Closing Date may be issued pursuant to Awards subject to any, or no, vesting conditions, as the Board (or committee of the board, as applicable) determines appropriate. 

14.     DEFINITIONS. As used in the Plan, the following definitions will apply to the capitalized terms indicated
below: 
 (a) “Affiliate” means, at the time of determination, any “parent” or
“subsidiary” of the Company, as such terms are defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The Board will have the authority to determine the time or times at which “parent” or “subsidiary” status is determined within
the foregoing definition. 

  
 -19- 

 (b) “Award” means a Stock Award or a Performance Cash Award.

 (c) “Award Agreement” means a written agreement between the Company and a Participant evidencing the terms
and conditions of an Award. 
 (d) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company. 

(e) “Capitalization Adjustment” means any change that is made in, or other events that occur with respect to,
the Common Stock subject to the Plan or subject to any Stock Award after the Adoption Date without the receipt of consideration by the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend
in property other than cash, large nonrecurring cash dividend, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other similar equity restructuring transaction, as that term is used in
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company will not be treated as a Capitalization
Adjustment. 
 (f) “Cause” will have the meaning ascribed to such term in any written agreement between the
Participant and the Company or any Affiliate defining such term and, in the absence of such agreement, such term means, with respect to a Participant, the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) Participant’s willful failure
substantially to perform his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company or any Affiliate or deliberate violation of a policy of the Company or any Affiliate; (ii) Participant’s commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement,
dishonesty or any other willful misconduct that has caused or is reasonably expected to result in material injury to the Company or any Affiliate; (iii) unauthorized use or disclosure by Participant of any proprietary information or trade
secrets of the Company or any other party to whom the Participant owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of his or her relationship with the Company or any Affiliate; or (iv) Participant’s willful breach of any of his or her
obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company or any Affiliate. The determination as to whether a Participant is being terminated for Cause will be made in good faith by the Company and will be final and binding on the
Participant. Any determination by the Company that the Continuous Service of a Participant was terminated with or without Cause for the purposes of outstanding Awards held by such Participant will have no effect upon any determination of the rights
or obligations of the Company, any Affiliate or such Participant for any other purpose. 
 (g) “Change in
Control” means the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, of any one or more of the following events: 

(i) any Exchange Act Person becomes the Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more
than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities other than by virtue of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control will not be deemed to occur
(A) on account of the acquisition of securities of the Company directly from the Company, (B) on account of the acquisition of securities of the Company by an investor, any affiliate thereof or any other Exchange Act Person that acquires
the 

  
 -20- 

 
Company’s securities in a transaction or series of related transactions the primary purpose of which is to obtain financing for the Company through the issuance of equity securities or
(C) solely because the level of Ownership held by any Exchange Act Person (the “Subject Person”) exceeds the designated percentage threshold of the outstanding voting securities as a result of a repurchase or other
acquisition of voting securities by the Company reducing the number of shares outstanding, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of voting securities by the Company,
and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the Owner of any additional voting securities that, assuming the repurchase or other acquisition had not occurred, increases the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities Owned
by the Subject Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a Change in Control will be deemed to occur; 

(ii) there is consummated a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving (directly or indirectly) the Company
and, immediately after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do not Own, directly or indirectly, either (A) outstanding voting securities representing
more than 50% of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (B) more than 50% of the combined outstanding voting power of the parent of the surviving Entity in such
merger, consolidation or similar transaction, in each case in substantially the same proportions as their Ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such transaction; 

(iii) there is consummated a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, other than a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries to an Entity, more than 50% of the combined
voting power of the voting securities of which are Owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their Ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or
other disposition; or 
 (iv) individuals who, on the Closing Date, are members of the Board (the
“Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board; provided, however, that if the appointment or election (or nomination for election) of any new Board member was
approved or recommended by a majority vote of the members of the Incumbent Board then still in office, such new member will, for purposes of this Plan, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing definition or any other provision of this Plan, (A) the term Change in Control will not include a sale of
assets, merger or other transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company, and (B) the definition of Change in Control (or any analogous term) in an individual written agreement between the Company or any
Affiliate and the Participant will supersede the foregoing definition with respect to Awards subject to such agreement; provided, however, that if no definition of Change in Control or any analogous term is set forth in such an individual
written agreement, the foregoing definition will apply. 

  
 -21- 

 If required for compliance with Section 409A of the Code, in no event will a Change in
Control be deemed to have occurred if such transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of” the Company or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company as determined
under U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder). The Board may, in its sole discretion and without a Participant’s consent, amend the
definition of “Change in Control” to conform to the definition of “Change in Control” under Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations thereunder. 

(h) “Closing Date” has the meaning set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 9, 2019, by
and among salesforce.com, inc., Sausalito Acquisition Corp., and Tableau. 
 (i) “Code” means the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including any applicable regulations and guidance thereunder. 
 (j)
“Committee” means a committee of one (1) or more Directors to whom authority has been delegated by the Board in accordance with Section 2(c). 

(k) “Common Stock” means the common stock of the Company. 

(l) “Company” means salesforce.com, inc., a Delaware corporation, or any successor thereto. 

(m) “Consultant” means any person, including an advisor, who is (i) engaged by the Company or an Affiliate
to render consulting or advisory services and is compensated for such services, or (ii) serving as a member of the board of directors of an Affiliate and is compensated for such services. However, service solely as a Director, or payment of a
fee for such service, will not cause a Director to be considered a “Consultant” for purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person is treated as a Consultant under this Plan only if a Form
S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act is available to register either the offer or the sale of the Company’s securities to such person. 

(n) “Continuous Service” means that the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, whether as
an Employee, Director or Consultant, is not interrupted or terminated. A change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service to the Company or an Affiliate as an Employee, Consultant or Director or a change in the Entity for which the
Participant renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, will not terminate a Participant’s Continuous Service. For example, a change in status
from an Employee of the Company to a Consultant of an Affiliate or to a Director will not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. If the Entity for which a Participant is rendering services ceases to qualify as an Affiliate, as determined
by the Board in its sole discretion, such Participant’s Continuous Service will be considered to have terminated on the date such Entity ceases to qualify as an Affiliate. To the extent permitted by law, the Board or the chief executive officer
of the Company, in that party’s sole discretion, may 

  
 -22- 

 
determine whether Continuous Service will be considered interrupted in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Board or chief executive officer, including sick leave, military
leave or any other personal leave, or (ii) transfers between the Company, an Affiliate, or their successors. In addition, if required for exemption from or compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the determination of whether there has
been a termination of Continuous Service will be made, and such term will be construed, in a manner that is consistent with the definition of “separation from service” as defined under U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder). A leave of absence will be treated as Continuous Service for purposes of vesting in a Stock Award only to such extent as may be
provided in the Company’s leave of absence policy, in the written terms of any leave of absence agreement or policy applicable to the Participant, or as otherwise required by law. 

(o) “Corporate Transaction” means the consummation, in a single transaction or in a series of related

For the sake of clarity, an illustrative example of such reallocation is set forth on Section 2.7.4 of the Disclosure Schedule.

	(b)
	subject to the terms of Section 2.7.4, the amounts, if any, that may become payable in respect of such Vested Company Stock Option, as set forth on Schedule I, from (I) any Contingent Payments that become due and payable in accordance with Section 2.14, minus the applicable Company Holder’s Pro Rata Percentage of any applicable Contingent Payment Deal Fees, (II) any cash disbursements made to Company Holders by the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 2.11.6, (III) the amount of any payment due to Company Holders pursuant to Section 2.13.2, and (IV) any cash disbursements made to Company Holders by the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 2.15.2 and Section 2.15.3, and in each case less any applicable withholding Taxes thereon.

The Company shall terminate the Company Stock Plan and all rights thereunder as of the Effective Time without Liability to Buyer and its Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates), other than, with respect to Vested Company Stock Options, the obligation to make the payments required by Section 2.8.1 and with respect to Company Restricted Stock, the obligation to make the payments required by the terms of this Agreement and the Designated Individual Agreements.

	2.9.
	Paying Agent.  In connection with the Closing, Buyer, the Shareholders’ Representative and Acquiom Financial LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (in its capacity as the payments administrator, the “Paying Agent”) shall have executed and delivered a paying agent agreement, in a form mutually agreed upon between such parties (the “Paying Agent Agreement”), pursuant to which the Paying Agent shall make the distributions of payments and take the other actions contemplated to be made and taken by the Paying Agent pursuant to and in accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement.

		
	2.10.
	Exchange Procedures.

		
	2.10.1.
	As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (but in any event, no later than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement), Buyer shall cause the Paying Agent to provide to each holder of a Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal in a form mutually agreed upon between the Parties and the Paying Agent (a “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for use of the Letter of Transmittal in effecting the surrender of such Certificate in exchange for the Merger Consideration to be paid in accordance with Section 2.7.3 with respect to each of the shares of Company Capital Stock represented thereby.  Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Paying Agent, together with such Letter of Transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto and a properly executed Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8 (including any required attachments or schedules thereto), as applicable, from such holder in form and substance acceptable to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall pay promptly, by electronic check (ACH), to the holder of such Certificate the cash payment described in Section 2.7.3(a) (rounded up to the nearest $0.01) into which the shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificate were converted pursuant to Section 2.7.3, without any interest thereon, provided, however, that (A) any such Certificates and Letters of Transmittal delivered to the Paying Agent prior to the Closing shall be held in escrow by the Paying Agent, pending the consummation of the Closing, and shall be deemed to be surrendered upon the Closing, subject to the satisfaction of the instructions provided to such holder for effecting the surrender of the Certificates, (B) with respect to any Deferred Holder, the Paying Agent shall not pay to such holder any portion of Merger Consideration that is Deferred Consideration until the satisfaction of the applicable terms and conditions set forth in (1) with respect to the [ * ], the [ * ] Deferred Consideration Agreement, (2) with respect to any Designated Individual, such Designated Individual’s Designated Individual Agreement or (3) with respect to any Deferred Holder that is not the [ * ] or a Designated Individual, in accordance with Schedule I and (C) payments in respect of shares of Company Restricted Stock for which a valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code has not been shall be made through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll and not by the Paying Agent.  The Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.  Until so surrendered, such Certificates shall upon and following the Effective Time represent solely the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock, without interest.  Except as set forth in Section 2.10.2, no holder of a Certificate will be entitled to be paid any Merger Consideration unless and until such holder shall have complied with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.10.1, including due execution and delivery to the Paying Agent of the Letter of Transmittal by such holder of such Certificate, which constitutes an integral component of and limitation on the Merger Consideration.

		
	2.10.2.
	If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Buyer shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock represented thereby to be paid (by the Paying Agent) in accordance with Section 2.7.3 and as contemplated under this ARTICLE 2; provided, however, that Buyer may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver an indemnification agreement as it may reasonably require with respect to any claim that may be made against Buyer or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Person submitting such affidavit to the Paying Agent shall be liable under ARTICLE 8 to Buyer for any Losses resulting from any inaccuracies in the affidavit.

		
	2.10.3.
	As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (but in any event, no later than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement), the Company shall provide to each holder of a Company Stock Option an option cancellation agreement in a form mutually agreed upon between the Parties (an “Option Cancellation Agreement”). Promptly following the receipt by the Paying Agent of an Option Cancellation Agreement duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the applicable portion of the Option Merger Consideration as set forth on Schedule I shall (i) first be paid by the Buyer to the Company and then shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation to such holder of such Vested Company Stock Option or (ii) for holders of Vested Company Stock Options who are not current or former employees of the Company, paid by the Paying Agent directly to such holder, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), in accordance with Section 2.8, provided, however, that any such Option Cancellation Agreement delivered to the Paying Agent prior to the Closing shall be held in escrow by the Paying Agent, pending the consummation of the Closing, and shall be deemed to be delivered upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such Option Cancellation Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no holder of Company Stock Options will be entitled to be paid any Option Merger Consideration unless and until such holder shall have complied with the requirements set forth in Section 2.10.3, including due execution and delivery to the Paying Agent by such holder of the Option Cancellation Agreement, which constitutes an integral component of and limitation on the Option Merger Consideration.

	(a)
	act for Company Holders with regard to all matters pertaining to indemnification under this Agreement, including the power to defend, compromise, or settle any claims and to otherwise prosecute or pursue any litigation claims, and the payment or non-payment of any of the Indemnification Escrow Amount;

		
	(b)
	execute and deliver all amendments, waivers, ancillary agreements, certificates and documents that the Shareholders’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

	(d)
	give or receive notices to be given or received by Company Holders under this Agreement (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice shall be given or received by each Company Holder individually); 

		
	(e)
	receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement;

		
	(f)
	give any written direction to the Paying Agent or the Escrow Agent;

	agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises and/or comply with awards and court orders with respect to claims for indemnification; and

All actions, notices, communications and determinations by or on behalf of Company Holders shall be given or made by the Shareholders’ Representative and all such actions, notices, communications and determinations by the Shareholders’ Representative shall conclusively be deemed to have been authorized by, and shall be binding upon, any of and all Company Holders, and no Company Holder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.  All decisions and actions of the Shareholders’ Representative on behalf of the Company Holders shall be deemed to be facts ascertainable outside of this Agreement.
		
	2.11.2.
	The Shareholders’ Representative may resign at any time. If the Shareholders’ Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns, then holders of a majority of the Company Capital Stock, based on their Pro Rata Percentage, promptly shall designate in writing to Buyer a single individual to fill the Shareholders’ Representative vacancy as the successor Shareholders’ Representative hereunder.  If at any time there shall not be a Shareholders’ Representative or Company Holders fail to designate a successor Shareholders’ Representative, then Buyer may have a court of competent jurisdiction appoint a Shareholders’ Representative hereunder.  Holders of a majority of the Company Capital Stock, based on their Pro Rata Percentage, may also replace the Person serving as the Shareholders’ Representative from time to time and for any reason upon at least ten days’ prior written notice to Buyer.  The Shareholders’ Representative may be removed only upon delivery of written notice to the Buyer signed by Persons who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, held a majority (by voting power) of the then outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock.  

		
	2.11.3.
	The Shareholders’ Representative shall act for Company Holders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Shareholders’ Representative believes to be in the best interest of Company Holders.  The Shareholders’ Representative is authorized to act on behalf of Company Holders notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among Company Holders.  In taking any actions as Shareholders’ Representative, the Shareholders’ Representative may rely conclusively, without any further inquiry or investigation, upon any certification or confirmation, oral or written, given by any Person the Shareholders’ Representative reasonably believes to be authorized thereunto.  The Shareholders’ Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with the Shareholders’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Shareholders’ Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Shareholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Company Holders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shareholders’ 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 Shareholders’ 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 directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Shareholders’ Representative, the Shareholders’ Representative will reimburse the Company Holders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, that in no event shall a Company Holder be liable under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection therewith for any Representative Losses in excess of the Merger Consideration and Option Merger Consideration actually paid, or that becomes due and payable in accordance with Section 2.14, to him, her or it. If not paid directly to the Shareholders’ Representative by the Company Holders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Shareholders’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Shareholders’ Representative Reserve, (ii) the Adjustment Escrow Fund and the Indemnification Escrow Fund, in each case at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Holders and (iii) any future Contingent Payments that become due and payable in accordance with Section 2.14; provided, that while this section allows the Shareholders’ Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Company Holders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Shareholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Shareholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Holders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Company Holders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Shareholders’ Representative under this section.  The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Shareholders’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

		
	2.11.4.
	The Shareholders’ Representative shall treat confidentially any Confidential Information of the Buyer or the Surviving Corporation disclosed to it pursuant to this Agreement and shall not use such Confidential Information other than in the performance of its duties as the Shareholders’ Representative.  In addition, the Shareholders’ Representative shall not disclose any Confidential Information disclosed to it pursuant to this Agreement to anyone except as required by Applicable Law; provided that (i) the Shareholders’ Representative may disclose such Confidential Information to legal counsel, employees, advisors, agents or consultants, in each case who have a need to know such information, provided that such persons are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect thereto no less restrictive than the obligations set forth in Section 6.10 of this Agreement, (ii) the Shareholders’ Representative (or legal counsel, employees, advisors, agents or consultants to whom Confidential Information is disclosed pursuant to clause (i) above) may disclose such Confidential Information in any Action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (or, in either case, discussion in preparation therefor) and (iii) the Shareholders’ Representative may disclose to any Company Holder any such Confidential Information disclosed to the Shareholders’ Representative subject to such Company Holder agreeing with Buyer in writing to restrictions on the disclosure and use of such Confidential Information consistent with or no less stringent than the restrictions to which the Shareholders’ Representative is subject pursuant to this Section 2.11.4.  

		
	2.11.5.
	Buyer shall be entitled to rely on the authority of the Shareholders’ Representative as the agent, representative and attorney-in-fact of Company Holders for all purposes under this Agreement and shall have no Liability for any such reliance.  No Company Holder may revoke the authority of the Shareholders’ Representative.  Each Company Holder, by signing a Written Consent or otherwise voting in favor of or consenting to the Merger or by surrendering or delivering a Certificate or an affidavit in lieu thereof to the Paying Agent along with an executed Letter of Transmittal (with respect to holders of Company Capital Stock) or by delivering an executed Option Cancellation Agreement (with respect to holders of Company Stock Options), in each case, in exchange for the consideration to be paid in accordance with this Agreement, hereby ratifies and confirms, and hereby agrees to ratify and confirm, any action taken by the Shareholders’ Representative in the exercise of the power-of-attorney granted to the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.11, which power-of-attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall survive the death, incapacity or incompetence of such Company Holder.  The provisions of this Section 2.11 are independent and severable, are irrevocable (subject only to Section 2.11.2) and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Company Holder may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

		
	2.11.6.
	At the Closing, the Paying Agent shall distribute the Shareholders’ Representative Reserve to the Shareholders’ Representative, which shall be maintained by the Shareholders’ Representative in a segregated account for paying directly or reimbursing the Shareholders’ Representative for any third party expenses in performing the obligations and exercising the rights of the Shareholders’ Representative hereunder or under any agreements ancillary hereto.  The Shareholders’ 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. Company Holders shall not receive interest or other earnings on the Shareholders’ Representative Reserve and Company Holders irrevocably transfer and assign to the Shareholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any interest that may accrue on funds held in the Shareholders’ Representative Reserve.  Company Holders acknowledge that the Shareholders’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice.  The Shareholders’ Representative shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Shareholders’ Representative Reserve other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. For Tax purposes, the Shareholders’ Representative Reserve shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by Company Holders at the time of Closing.  The Shareholders’ Representative shall be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of its duties (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) under this Agreement from the Shareholders’ Representative Reserve; provided that if the Shareholders’ Representative Reserve is insufficient to pay such expenses, then the Shareholders’ Representative shall be reimbursed directly from Company Holders on a several basis (and not a joint and several basis) according to their Pro Rata Percentage.  Upon the determination of the Shareholders’ Representative that the Shareholders’ Representative Reserve is no longer necessary in connection with claims for indemnification of the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Shareholders’ Representative shall distribute to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Company Holders (solely out of the Shareholders’ Representative Reserve) the amount remaining in the Shareholders’ Representative Reserve after payment of all of the Shareholders’ Representative’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its services as Shareholders’ Representative.  The Shareholders’ Representative Reserve shall not be available to Buyer to satisfy any claims hereunder.  Any payments as may be required by the Shareholders’ Representative to be made directly to it by any Company Holders pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement shall be paid in accordance with such Company Holder’s Pro Rata Percentage.

		
	2.11.7.
	The provisions of this Section 2.11 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees and successors of each Company Holder, and any references in this Agreement to a Company Holder shall mean and include the successors to the rights of each applicable Company Holder hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

		
	2.12.
	Close of Stock Transfer Books.  At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock on the records of the Company.  From and after the Effective Time, no shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be outstanding, and the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided herein or by Applicable Law.

		
	2.13.
	Working Capital Adjustment.

		
	2.13.1.
	The Closing Payment shall be adjusted by an amount (the “Closing Working Capital Adjustment”) equal to any Positive Working Capital Adjustment or any Negative Working Capital Adjustment, as applicable, as set forth in this Section 2.13.1.  At least four Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide a statement that sets forth its good faith calculation of the Working Capital of the Company as of the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (except that Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities shall be determined as of the end of the day on the Closing Date) (the “Estimated Closing Date Working Capital”), which shall be determined in accordance with GAAP (except to the extent otherwise provided in the definition of Working Capital), applied in a manner consistent with the preparation, assumptions and estimates made or used in the preparation of the Working Capital Exhibit.  In the event the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital is a negative amount, the Closing Payment shall be reduced by the absolute value of such amount (the “Negative Working Capital Adjustment”).  In the event the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital is a positive amount, the Closing Payment shall be increased by an amount equal to the absolute value of such amount (the “Positive Working Capital Adjustment”).  Following Buyer’s receipt of the statement setting forth the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital, the Company shall provide to Buyer and Merger Sub, and their authorized representatives, reasonable access to all records used in preparing such Estimated Closing Date Working Capital (and employees of the Company who can adequately answer questions on the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital, including such access to facilities as is reasonably necessary to have such access to such employees) and, if applicable, the Company’s outside accountants and their work papers and other documents used in preparing such Estimated Closing Date Working Capital.  No later than [ * ] after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Shareholders’ Representative a statement setting forth Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Working Capital of the Company as of the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Buyer’s Closing Date Working Capital Calculation”), which shall be determined in accordance with GAAP (except to the extent otherwise provided in the definition of Working Capital), applied in a manner consistent with the preparation, assumptions and estimates made or used in the preparation of the Working Capital Exhibit.

		
	2.13.2.
	If Buyer does not deliver the Buyer’s Closing Date Working Capital Calculation as set forth above, then the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be the Buyer’s Closing Date Working Capital Calculation.  The Shareholders’ Representative may provide a written notice to Buyer of any disagreement with respect to the Buyer’s Closing Date Working Capital Calculation within [ * ] after delivery of Buyer’s Closing Date Working Capital Calculation to the Shareholders’ Representative. If the Shareholders’ Representative provides such a notice, the Shareholders’ Representative and Buyer will attempt in good faith to resolve such disagreement.  If, within [ * ] after delivery to Buyer of such notification by the Shareholders’ Representative, they are unable to resolve such disagreement, either Buyer, on the one hand, or the Shareholders’ Representative, on the other hand, shall have the right to submit the determination of such matter to an accounting firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants reasonably acceptable to each of Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative, or, in the absence of mutual agreement, Deloitte LLP (the “Auditor”).  Each Party agrees to execute a reasonable engagement letter, and all fees and expenses relating to the work performed by the Auditor shall be shared equally between Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Holders); provided, that if the Auditor determines that either the Shareholders’ Representative or the Buyer has adopted a position or positions with respect to the Working Capital that is frivolous or clearly without merit, the Auditor (a) may, in its discretion, assign a greater portion of any such fees and expenses to the Shareholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Company Holders) or the Buyer, as applicable, and (b) shall provide to the Shareholders’ Representative and the Buyer a written explanation of its reasons for making such a determination.  The Auditor shall not be authorized or permitted to: (x) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement except for the resolution of differences between the Shareholders’ Representative and the Buyer regarding the determination of the Working Capital in accordance with this Section 2.13; or (y) apply any accounting principles, policies, methods, treatments or procedures other than those used in the preparation of the Working Capital Exhibit and required by Applicable Law.  In all cases, the Auditor shall act as an expert and not as arbitrator. Within [ * ] after the selection of the Auditor, the Auditor shall make a determination of all issues in dispute in connection with the Buyer’s Closing Date Working Capital Calculation pursuant to such procedures as the Auditor deems fair and reasonable and shall set forth in a written statement delivered to Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative the final Closing Working Capital Adjustment; provided however, such final Closing Working Capital Adjustment shall be an amount equal to either the Closing Working Capital Adjustment that was based on the Buyer’s Closing Date Working Capital Calculation or the Company’s Estimated Closing Date Working Capital or an amount in between.  Such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties absent fraud or manifest error.  The amount equal to the difference of the final Closing Working Capital Adjustment determined in accordance with this Section 2.13.2 less the Closing Working Capital Adjustment, if any, made pursuant to Section 2.13.1 is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount”.  If the Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount is a negative amount, then Buyer shall be entitled to prompt payment from the Adjustment Escrow Fund of the absolute value of such amount; provided that if the Adjustment Escrow Amount is less than the amount to be paid to Buyer, then Buyer shall be entitled to receive such excess amount from the Indemnification Escrow Fund. If the Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount is a positive amount, then Buyer shall promptly pay the Paying Agent, for distribution to the Company Holders or to the Surviving Corporation for amounts to be paid through payroll, according to the applicable percentages set forth on Schedule I, such amount due to them, if any.

		
	2.13.3.
	Following the Shareholders’ Representative’s receipt of the statement setting forth Buyer’s Closing Date Working Capital Calculation, the Buyer and its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, shall provide to the Shareholders’ Representative, and its authorized representatives, reasonable access to all records used in preparing such Buyer’s Closing Date Working Capital Calculation (and employees of the Buyer or its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, who can adequately answer questions on Buyer’s Closing Date Working Capital Calculation).

		
	2.13.4.
	Other than in the case of Fraud, the Parties agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 2.13 shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any disputes with respect to the determination of the Working Capital and the Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount; provided, that this provision shall not prohibit the Buyer or the Shareholders’ Representative from instituting litigation to enforce a ruling of the Auditor.

		
	2.14.
	Contingent Payments. 

		
	2.14.1.
	In addition to the Closing Payment payable pursuant to Section 2.7.3(a), Company Holders shall be entitled to certain additional contingent payments from Buyer after the Closing as and to the extent set forth in this Section 2.14 (each such additional payment, a “Contingent Payment”), subject to all the terms and conditions of this Section 2.14. 

		
	2.14.2.
	Buyer shall make the Contingent Payments described below in cash to the Paying Agent subject to and upon the occurrence of the following events set forth in the table below (each of such twelve (12) events, a “Milestone”), whether achieved by or on behalf of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any Buyer Rights Successor, less any applicable Contingent Payment Deal Fees.  The Paying Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Company Holders, as set forth in Schedule I, less (without duplication) any applicable Contingent Payment Deal Fees, with such disbursements paid through the payroll process of the Surviving Corporation or through the Paying Agent, as applicable, provided, however, that (a) with respect to any Deferred Holder (other than the [ * ] and the Designated Individuals), the Deferred Consideration of such Deferred Holder shall be payable only to the extent and in accordance with Schedule I or (b) with respect to any Deferred Holder that is a Designated Individual, such Deferred Holder’s Designated Individual Agreement, and, in each case, any such amounts to which a Deferred Holder does not become entitled shall be retained by Buyer:

	2.14.4.
	Each Contingent Payment is payable only once. In no event shall any of the Contingent Payments be paid more than once, regardless of the number of times the corresponding Milestone is achieved by or on behalf of Buyer, Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, or any Buyer Rights Successor.  In the event that (a) the first Clinical Trial that is Initiated for a Product is also a Pivotal Trial for such Product, then both Milestone No. 1 and Milestone No. 2 shall be payable on the Initiation of such Clinical Trial, (b) at the time a Clinical Trial for a Product is Initiated, such Clinical Trial is not a Pivotal Trial, the Pivotal Trial for such Product shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which an Approval Application is filed in respect of a Product with the appropriate Regulatory Authority in any country or jurisdiction and (c) Milestone No. 3 is achieved then Milestone No. 1 and Milestone No. 2 shall be payable upon such achievement of Milestone No. 3 to the extent not previously paid. [ * ].

		
	2.14.5.
	In the event of an Insolvency Event prior to the expiration of Buyer’s obligations set forth in Section 2.14.2, all Contingent Payments will be deemed to have been paid and a promissory note therefor issued by Buyer to the Shareholders’ Representative (to be held solely on behalf of the Company Holders and in its capacity as the Shareholders’ Representative) in the amount of such Contingent Payments 91 days prior to such Insolvency Event.

		
	2.14.6.
	Commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the earlier to occur of (i) expiration of Buyer’s obligations set forth in Section 2.14.9 and (ii) achievement of the last Milestone, Buyer shall provide the Shareholders’ Representative, within [ * ] following January 1st of each calendar year, with a written report summarizing in reasonable detail the status of the development of each Product with respect to which a Contingent Payment remains unpaid.  Upon the Shareholders’ Representative’s reasonable request and in a frequency of no more than once per calendar year, representatives of Buyer that are familiar with the development status of each such Product shall meet with the Shareholders’ Representative in person, by phone or as otherwise may be mutually agreed, to discuss the development status of each such Product in reasonable detail.  Notwithstanding Section 6.10, Buyer, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates each agree that the Shareholders’ Representative may disclose the information disclosed hereunder to each Company Holder, and any Company Holder may disclose such information to any limited partners of such Company Holder subject to customary confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than the obligations set forth in Section 6.10 of this Agreement.

		
	2.14.1.
	Within [ * ] of the occurrence of any Milestone set forth in Section 2.14.2, Buyer shall provide written notice to the Shareholders’ Representative that such Milestone has occurred. Within [ * ] after the occurrence of a Milestone, Buyer shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Holders or to the Surviving Corporation for amounts to be paid through payroll an aggregate amount in cash equal to the amount of the applicable Contingent Payment in accordance with this Section 2.14.  

		
	2.14.2.
	Subject to the terms and conditions of (a) with respect to Deferred Holders (other than the [ * ] and the Designated Individuals), Schedule I or (b) with respect to Deferred Holders that are Designated Individuals, such Deferred Holder’s Designated Individual Agreement, each Company Holder shall be entitled to receive only the portion of any Contingent Payment as set forth in Schedule I (less such Company Holder’s Pro Rata Percentage of any applicable Contingent Payment Deal Fees) once such Contingent Payment becomes due and payable in accordance with this Section 2.14.

		
	2.14.3.
	No interest shall accrue or be paid on any portion of any Contingent Payment, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. For Tax purposes, however, the Parties agree that all payments made under this Section 2.14 (other than to Designated Individuals) shall to the extent permitted by Applicable Law be reported as additional Merger Consideration or Option Merger Consideration, as applicable, except to the extent such amounts are characterized as interest for Tax purposes. 

		
	2.14.4.
	Following the Closing and continuing until the [ * ] of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) and any Buyer Rights Successor to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve each of the Milestones.  Subject to the foregoing obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, neither Buyer, Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates has furnished or provided any assurances regarding the achievability of the condition to the payment of the Contingent Payments set forth in this Section 2.14 or the likelihood thereof.  

		
	2.14.5.
	With respect to Contingent Payments made in respect of Designated Company Restricted Stock, Contingent Payments shall only be made to the extent such Designated Company Restricted Stock would be vested pursuant to the terms of the Designated Company Restricted Stock agreement entered into between the Company and such Deferred Holder in respect of such Designated Company Restricted Stock as set forth in Schedule I and any such amounts to which a Deferred Holder does not become entitled shall be retained by Buyer.  If any Contingent Payments become payable hereunder before the Designated Company Restricted Stock would have vested, such payments shall not be made unless and until the corresponding Designated Company Restricted Stock would have vested.  If a holder of Designated Company Restricted Stock is terminated following Closing and, as a result of such termination, would have forfeited his or her Designated Company Restricted Stock, Buyer will repay to such Deferred Holder the lesser of (x) the original purchase price set forth in Schedule I, or (y) the then fair market value of such forfeited Designated Company Restricted Stock, in each case, as provided pursuant to the terms of the Designated Company Restricted Stock agreement.  In such case, any Contingent Payments related to Designated Company Restricted Stock that would have been vested by its terms as of such termination will continue to be paid subject to the terms of this Section 2.14.

	With respect to Contingent Payments made in respect of Vested Company Stock Options or Company Restricted Stock with respect to which a valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code has not been made, no payments shall be made following the 5th anniversary of the Closing unless the applicable Milestone to which such Contingent Payment relates constitutes a short-term deferral within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, with any such payments that are made following the 5th anniversary of the Closing to be paid within the time period required so that such payments remain short-term deferrals.

		
	2.14.7.
	After the Closing, no Company Holder may sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of his, her or its right to receive any portion of any Contingent Payments that becomes due and payable to such Company Holder in respect of such Company Holder’s Company Capital Stock in accordance with this Section 2.14, other than (i) upon death by will or intestacy; (ii) by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the right to receive any Contingent Payments or any portion thereof is to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustee; (iii) made pursuant to a court order; (iv) made by operation of law (including a consolidation or merger) or without consideration in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or termination of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity; (v) in the case of Contingent Payments payable to a nominee, from a nominee to a beneficial owner (and, if applicable, through an intermediary) or from such nominee to another nominee for the same beneficial owner, in each case as allowable by a nationally recognized trust company; or (vi) to any Person, with Buyer’s consent. Any transfer in violation of this Section 2.14.13 shall be null and void and shall not be recognized by Buyer or the Surviving Corporation.

The Parties will, to the extent consistent with Applicable Law, treat the Adjustment Escrow Fund and the Indemnification Escrow Fund and any earnings thereon as owned by Buyer for Tax purposes.

		
	2.15.2.
	Following the determination of the Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount and payment of any amounts due to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.13.2 in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall make available to (i) the Surviving Corporation with respect to amounts (A) to be paid through payroll and (B) which represent Escrow Release Tax Costs or (ii) the Paying Agent for distribution to the Company Holders of the then-remaining Adjustment Escrow Amount, and each of the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall pay each Company Holder its Upfront Payment Pro Rata Percentage of the then-remaining Adjustment Escrow Amount (after appropriate reduction for any applicable Escrow Release Tax Costs).

	2.15.4.
	The execution of a Written Consent or the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, by the Company Shareholders shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and all arrangements related thereto, including the depositing of the Adjustment Escrow Amount into the Adjustment Escrow Fund and the Indemnification Escrow Amount into the Indemnification Escrow Fund.  Any interest accruing with respect to the Adjustment Escrow Fund or the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be deemed part of the Adjustment Escrow Amount or the Indemnification Escrow Amount, respectively, for all indemnification and escrow disbursement purposes hereunder.  The right of any Company Holder to receive its portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund and the Indemnification Escrow Fund, if any, (i) is an integral part of the Merger Consideration and Option Merger Consideration, as applicable, provided for in this Agreement, (ii) does not give the Company Holders dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation rights, preemptive rights or other rights of holders of capital stock of the Company, (iii) shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument, (iv) shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by such Company Holder, except in the manner as provided for Contingent Payments set forth in Section 2.14.11, and (v) does not represent any right other than the right to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 2.15.  Any attempted transfer of the right to any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Amount or the Indemnification Escrow Amount by any holder thereof (other than as specifically permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.16.1, if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights and dissenters rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to relief provided under Section 262 of the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 2.7, without interest, following surrender of the Certificate representing such shares in the manner provided in Section 2.10 or, in the case of a lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed Certificate, upon delivery of the documents, if required, described in Section 2.10. The Company shall give Buyer prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of demands for appraisal and any other related instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company, and Buyer shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, make any payment with respect to any demand for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demand.

		
	2.17.
	Withholding.

To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, and will be timely remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer confirms that it will not, absent a change in Applicable Law, [ * ] (y) the Company has provided a valid certificate and notice pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h) in accordance with Section 3.2.4 of this Agreement.

	Benefit Plans.

		
	4.18.1.
	Section 4.18.1 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and correct list of all: (i) “employee benefit plans,” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (“ERISA”), whether or not subject to ERISA; (ii) bonus, stock option, stock purchase, restricted stock, equity or equity-based compensation, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock, incentive, fringe benefit, voluntary employees’ beneficiary associations under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code, profit-sharing, commission, pension, retirement, deferred compensation, day or dependent care, legal services, cafeteria, medical, life insurance, dental, vision, disability, accident, salary continuation, severance, accrued leave, vacation, sick pay, sick leave, supplemental retirement, unemployment and welfare benefit Contracts, plans, programs, arrangements, commitments or practices (whether or not insured); and (iii) employment, consulting, individual independent contractor, services agreement, termination, change in control, retention, and severance Contracts, plans, programs, arrangements, commitments or practices, in each case, that the Company has established, maintained or contributed to (or with respect to which an obligation to contribute has been undertaken) or that the Company is a party to, in each case, with or for the benefit of, as applicable, any Company Personnel, or with respect to which the Company has any Liability (collectively, the “Plans”).

		
	4.18.2.
	No Plan is, and neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever at any time sponsored, contributed to, been required to contribute to, maintained or had any Liability in respect of, (A) a Plan that is or was subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA or (B) a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA).  For this purpose, “ERISA Affiliate” shall mean any person that for purposes of Title I and Title IV of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code would be deemed at any relevant time to be a single employer with the Company under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code or Section 4001 of ERISA.

		
	4.18.3.
	All Plans have been administered and operated in all material respects in compliance with their terms and with all requirements of Applicable Law, including ERISA and the Code.  No event or omission has occurred which would reasonably be expected to cause any Plan to fail to satisfy the relevant requirements to provide tax-favored benefits under the applicable Code Section (including Code Sections 105 and 125).  Each Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (including each related trust intended to be exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code) has received a favorable IRS determination letter or is comprised of a master or prototype plan that has received a favorable opinion letter from the IRS upon which it can rely.  Since the date of each such determination letter or opinion letter, no event has occurred and no condition exists that would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation of any such determination letter or opinion letter or that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any such Plan (or the tax-exempt status of any such trust) or that would reasonably be expected to result in material Liability to the Company.  None of the Plans provide for post-employment or retiree health, life insurance and/or other welfare benefits (except as required by Section 4980B of the Code or any similar state law), and the Company has no obligation to provide any such benefits to any Company Personnel following such person’s retirement or termination of service. Each Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” subject to Section 409A of the Code has been maintained and operated in both operational and documentary compliance with Section 409A of the Code in all material respects.

		
	4.18.4.
	Each Plan may be amended, terminated or otherwise modified by the Company to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law.  The Company does not have any commitment to create, modify or terminate any Plan.  No event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, that could reasonably be expected to result in a material increase in the benefits under or the expense of maintaining any Plan as compared to the level of benefits or expense incurred for the most recently ended fiscal year of the Company.

		
	4.18.5.
	Neither the Company nor any of its directors, officers, employees nor, to the knowledge of the Company, other Persons who participate in the operation of any Plan or related trust or funding vehicle, has engaged in any transaction with respect to any Plan or breached any applicable fiduciary responsibilities or obligations under ERISA or the Code that could reasonably be expected to result in any claim being made under, by or on behalf of any such Plan by any Person with standing to make such claim for which the Company could have material Liability.

		
	4.18.6.
	Other than routine claims for benefits made in the Ordinary Course of Business, there are no pending Actions or other claims, actions or investigations, and to the knowledge of the Company no Actions or other claims, actions or investigations are threatened, against any Plan or fiduciary of any such Plan by any participant, beneficiary or Governmental Authority for which the Company could have material Liability, and to the knowledge of the Company there is no basis to anticipate that any such Actions will be made or asserted.  To the knowledge of the Company, there are no inspections or audits pending to be resolved or implemented by any Governmental Authority to verify compliance relating to any Plan or term and condition of employment.  To the knowledge of the Company, no Plan or any fiduciary thereof with respect to any Plan has been the direct or indirect subject of an audit, investigation or examination by any Governmental Authority.

		
	4.18.7.
	The Company has properly classified all individuals who have performed services for them in accordance with the applicable requirements of ERISA, the Code and other Applicable Law as common law employees, independent contractors or leased employees, as applicable, other than for such failures to classify correctly as are not likely to result in any material Liability for the Company.

		
	4.18.8.
	The Company does not maintain or have any obligation to contribute to any “voluntary employees’ beneficiary association” within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code or other funding arrangement for the provision of welfare benefits. No Plan which is a group health plan is a “multiple employer welfare arrangement,” within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA.

		
	4.18.9.
	Full payment has been timely made of all amounts which the Company is required, under Applicable Law or under any Plan, applicable collective bargaining agreement or any Contract relating to any Plan to which the Company is a party, to have paid as contributions or premiums thereto as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of such Plan ended prior to the date hereof and such contributions or premiums have been timely deposited into the appropriate trusts or accounts.  

		
	4.18.10.
	Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor the conduct of the business of the Company by the Company Personnel (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent event) will (i) terminate or modify, or give any Person a right to terminate or modify, the provisions or terms of any Plan, policy, Contract, arrangement or commitment (including employment agreements), whether or not legally enforceable or (ii) result in any payment or benefits (whether of severance pay or otherwise) or any acceleration of, vesting of or increase in or funding of payments or benefits to any employee or director or former employee or director of, or other present or former provider of services to, the Company. Except as set forth on Section 4.18.10 of the Disclosure Schedule, no Plan provides for the payment of severance, termination, change-in-control or any similar type of payments or benefits.

		
	4.18.11.

Buyer shall be solely responsible for the cost of the D&O Tail Policy, including the amount of the premium required to be paid for the D&O Tail Policy; provided, that Buyer shall not be required to pay an aggregate amount for the D&O Tail Policy in excess of [ * ] of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the Closing.  Buyer shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policy in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

	6.7.4.
	The provisions of this Section 6.7 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the D&O Indemnified Parties by law, charter, statute, by-law or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.

	Release of Claims.

Such released Liabilities shall include any right to recover against the Released Parties for any indemnification claims made against or paid by a Company Holder pursuant to ARTICLE 8.  Each Company Holder understands that this is a full and final release of all claims, demands, causes of action and Liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether or not known, suspected or claimed, that could have been asserted in any legal or equitable proceeding against the Released Parties, except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.8.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing release shall not apply and none of the following shall be released by each Company Holder: (i) if the Company Holder is an employee of any of the Released Parties, Claims for any benefit, wages or salary earned by the Company Holder arising out of or related to the Company Holder’s employment by any of the Released Parties to the extent earned and unpaid, (ii) Claims and rights of the Company Holder for indemnification and reimbursement by any of the Released Parties under the Constitutive Documents or under any Contract entered into by any of the Released Parties and the Company Holder (to the extent such Contract is set forth on Section 4.13.1(q) of the Disclosure Schedule), (iii) Claims of the Company Holder as a service provider or licensor of any of the Released Parties and (iv) Claims of the Company Holder to its right to receive the Closing Payment or Contingent Payments, as appropriate, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that, in each case, the Company Holder shall be subject to the no-circular recovery provisions set forth in Section 8.10.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Company Holder expressly waives the benefit of any Applicable Law, which, if applied to the release set forth in this Section 6.8, would otherwise exclude from its binding effect any Claim not known by such Company Holder at the Effective Time to exist.  Each Company Holder represents that it is not aware of any Claim by it other than the Claims that are waived, released and forever discharged by this Section 6.8.  For the avoidance of doubt, the release set forth in this Section 6.8 is an integral part of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such release, none of the Company, Buyer nor Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. Further, nothing contained in this Section 6.8 shall be construed to prohibit a Company Holder from filing a charge with or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or a comparable state or local agency, provided, however, that each Company Holder hereby agrees to waive its, his or her right to recover monetary damages or other individual relief in any such charge, investigation or proceeding or any related complaint or lawsuit filed by the Company Holder or by anyone else on its, his or her behalf. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.8, [ * ].

Neither Buyer, Merger Sub, nor any of their Affiliates shall acquire or agree to acquire, by merging with or into or consolidating with, or by purchasing a portion of the assets of or equity in, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to create material risk of any Governmental Authority seeking or entering an order requiring any prohibition, limitation or other requirement of the type set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 3.1.3.

		
	7.3.3.
	In the event that any Antitrust Approval is obtained but expires prior to Closing, upon Buyer’s request, the Parties (other than the Shareholders’ Representative) shall, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than ten Business Days) thereafter, make such filings as are necessary or advisable to again obtain such Antitrust Approval, in accordance with Section 7.3.1, and shall otherwise comply with Section 7.3.1 as if such expired Antitrust Approval had never been obtained.

		
	7.4.
	Expenses.  Whether or not the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, and except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each of the Company, Buyer and Merger Sub shall bear its own fees and expenses incurred or owed in connection with the Merger, this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby; [ * ].

		
	7.5.
	Further Assurances.  Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. 

		
	7.6.
	Data Room Record.  Not later than five Business Days after the date hereof, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a DVD ROM disc (or similar media) containing a digital copy of all of the materials included in the Data Room. 

		
	7.7.
	Employee Matters.

		
	7.7.1.
	Prior to the Closing, Buyer or its Affiliates will provide a letter (a “Offer Letter”) to each Specified Employee setting forth the specific terms and conditions of his or her continued employment with the Surviving Corporation contingent upon and following the Closing.

		
	7.7.2.
	Following the Closing, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give each employee of the Company who continues in employment after the Closing (each a “Continuing Employee”) full credit for prior service with the Company for purposes of (i) eligibility and vesting under any Buyer employee plans and (ii) determination of benefit levels under any Buyer employee plan or policy relating to vacation or severance, in each case for which the Continuing Employee is otherwise eligible and in which the Continuing Employee is offered participation, but not where such credit would result in a duplication of benefits or where credit was not provided under comparable plans of the Company or for purposes of any equity-based awards.  In addition, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any limitations on benefits relating to pre-existing conditions to the same extent such limitations are waived under any comparable plan of the Company and recognize for purposes of annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its medical and dental plans, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Continuing Employees in the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs.

		
	7.7.3.
	If requested by Buyer at least ten days prior to the Closing, the Company shall terminate each Plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, such termination to be effective as of no later than one day prior to the Closing.  Not later than five days prior to such termination, the Company shall provide Buyer for its review, comment and approval copies of any resolutions, filings or other written actions as may be required to effectuate such termination.

		
	7.7.4.
	The provisions of this Section 7.7 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former employee, officer, director, manager or consultant, or any other individual associated therewith, shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.7, nor is anything contained in this Section 7.7, express or implied, intended to confer upon any such individual any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including 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. 

		
	7.7.5.
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, (x) constitute the establishment of a Plan, or an amendment to any Plan, or (y) alter or limit the ability of Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify, or terminate any employee benefit plan, agreement, arrangement, program or policy at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 8, from and after the Closing, each of the Company Holders and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, members or other equity holders, agents and Representatives (each, a “Company Holder Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Buyer against any and all Losses, whether or not involving a Third Party Claim, arising out of or directly or indirectly resulting from:

		
	8.3.1.
	the breach or violation of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Buyer contained in this Agreement (in each case, as such representation or warranty would read if all qualifications as to materiality, including each reference to the words “Material Adverse Change,” “material” and “materiality” and all similar phrases and words, were deleted therefrom); 

		
	8.3.2.
	any Fraud by Buyer; or

		
	8.3.3.
	the breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement or covenant of the Company that contemplates performance at or after the Closing.

		
	8.4.
	Limits on Indemnification.

		
	8.4.1.
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Company Holder Indemnified Parties nor Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.2.1, or 8.3.1, as applicable, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from such Indemnifying Party under Sections 8.2.1 or 8.3.1, as the case may be, equals or exceeds [ * ]  (such amount, the “Basket”), after which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for Losses in excess of the Basket; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to breaches of, or inaccuracies in, (A) the Fundamental Representations or (B) any representations or warranties due to Fraud. Claims for indemnification pursuant to any other provision of Sections 8.2 or 8.3 are not subject to the monetary limitations set forth in this Section 8.4.1; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under Section 8.3 exceed the Purchase Price plus any Contingent Payment that becomes due and payable to the Company Holders.  The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE 8 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies or contractual indemnification or contribution provisions of other agreements covering such Losses (net of the out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred for pursuing or obtaining such insurance proceeds, deductibles and any increased premium amounts attributable to such claim).  An Indemnified Party shall take commercially reasonable steps required by Applicable Law to mitigate any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE 8 upon becoming aware of any event that gives rise thereto.  If an Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate) receives any insurance payment in connection with any claim for Losses for which it has already received an indemnification payment from the Indemnifying Party, it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within 30 days of receiving such insurance payment, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 had such insurance payment been made at the time of such indemnification payment solely to avoid duplicative recovery for the same Loss, but not in excess of any amount previously so paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter. The amount of Losses recoverable by an Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE 8 with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by the net reduction in cash Taxes payable or paid that is actually received (including by way of a refund) by an Indemnified Party or its Affiliates with respect to the taxable year of the occurrence of the Loss giving rise to the indemnification obligation as a result of the incurrence of the applicable Loss, determined on a “with and without” basis. In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible or liable for any Losses or other amounts under this ARTICLE 8 that are punitive damages (except to the extent such punitive damages are awarded to a third party).  

		
	8.4.2.
	[ * ].  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any Party, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated by this Agreement.

		
	8.4.3.
	In the case of Buyer’s rights to indemnification for Material Claims, for as long as there are funds available in the Indemnification Escrow Fund to cover the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ indemnifiable Losses, any and all Losses payable by the Company Holders as Indemnifying Parties to the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to a Material Claim will be paid in cash first out of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, and in the event such Losses in respect of Material Claims exceed, or are not paid and satisfied in full from, the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have the right to satisfy in full such Losses by pursuing indemnification rights and recourse directly against the Company Holders in accordance with each Company Holder’s Aggregate Payment Pro Rata Percentage of the Merger Consideration and Option Merger Consideration up to the aggregate Merger Consideration and Option Merger Consideration actually paid, or that becomes due and payable in accordance with Section 2.14, to each Company Holder.

		
	8.4.4.
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, in no event shall a Company Holder be liable under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection therewith for any Losses in excess of the Merger Consideration and Option Merger Consideration actually paid, or that becomes due and payable in accordance with Section 2.14, to him, her or it.  

		
	8.4.5.
	In the case of Losses arising out of or resulting from Company Holder Indemnity Events, the liability of each Company Holder for Company Holder Indemnity Events shall be solely with respect to Company Holder Indemnity Events committed by such Company Holder (the “Indemnifying Company Holder”) and not with respect to Company Holder Indemnity Events committed by any other Company Holder, and any Losses arising out of or based upon a Company Holder Indemnity Event that is satisfied from the Indemnification Escrow Fund or Buyer’s right of set-off against Contingent Payments under Section 8.8, as appropriate, shall reduce the Indemnifying Company Holder’s entitlement to the Indemnification Escrow Fund or Contingent Payments, as appropriate, and not any other Company Holder’s entitlement to the Indemnification Escrow Fund or Contingent Payments, as appropriate; provided, however, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy all or a portion of the Losses arising out of or relating to a Company Holder Indemnity Event by pursuing indemnification rights and recourse directly against the Company Holder that committed the Company Holder Indemnity Event without having to first resort to obtaining payment from such Indemnifying Company Holder’s portion of the Indemnification Escrow Fund or exercising Buyer’s rights of set-off under Section 8.8 against such Indemnifying Company Holder’s portion of Contingent Payments.

		
	8.4.6.
	The right of Buyer to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 will not be affected by any investigation conducted or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to any accuracy of any representation or warranty, or performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement herein.

		
	8.4.7.
	For purposes of this Agreement, “Material Claims” means [ * ].

		
	8.4.8.
	No Company Holder shall be liable to any other Person for any Losses pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 that arise out of or relate to a breach of or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement (and the amount of any Losses incurred in respect of such breach or inaccuracy shall not be included in the calculation of any limitations on indemnification set forth herein) to the extent the Loss is actually deducted from the Closing Payment or actually included in the determination of the Final Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount.  

		
	8.4.9.
	[ * ]. 

		
	8.5.
	Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims.

		
	8.5.1.
	A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.  Such notice shall include the facts constituting the basis for such claim for indemnification and the sections of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is then based.

		
	8.5.2.
	Each Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party in writing if it becomes aware of a claim for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification hereunder. If any Action is instituted against a Party with respect to which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 8.2 or 8.3, as applicable, the Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice of the indemnity claim to the Indemnifying Party and provide the Indemnifying Party with a copy of any complaint, summons or other written notice that the Indemnified Party receives in connection with any such Action. An Indemnified Party’s failure to deliver such written notice will relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability to the Indemnified Party under Sections 8.2 or 8.3, as applicable, only to the extent such delay materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim. The Indemnified Party will permit the Indemnifying Party to participate in such Action and assume the defense and disposition thereof by negotiated settlement or otherwise (subject to this Section 8.5) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to assume the defense of any Action if (a) the Indemnified Party will have one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, and, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, counsel for the Indemnifying Party would not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnified Party because such interests would be in conflict with those of the Indemnifying Party or (b) the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of the Action in a timely fashion (but in any event within 30 days after receiving notice of such Action). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Action, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in any Action at its expense. The assumption of the defense by the Indemnifying Party will not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Action, nor will it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. The Indemnifying Party will act reasonably and in good faith with respect to all matters relating to such claim and will not settle or otherwise resolve such claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the Indemnifying Party’s defense of any claim for which indemnity is sought under this Agreement, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense. If it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against such claim, the Indemnified Party will reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any Liability incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of such claim.

		
	8.5.3.
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, Third Party Claims with respect to Taxes that involve a Taxing Authority shall be governed by Section 6.4.7, and not the preceding Sections 8.5.1 or 8.5.2. 

		
	8.6.
	Tax Treatment.  To the extent permitted by Tax Law, the Parties agree to treat all payments made under this ARTICLE 8 as adjustments to the Merger Consideration and Option Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes (other than payments to Designated Individuals).

		
	8.7.
	Remedies.  From and after the Closing, except as specifically provided herein under Section 2.13, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party for any and all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto or the transactions contemplated herein or therein shall be indemnification in accordance with this ARTICLE 8.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.7 shall not operate to limit the rights of the Parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief) or any remedies available to it under Applicable Law in the event of (i) Fraud by the Company or the Buyer, in each case solely against the persons who committed such Fraud, (ii) a Party’s failure to comply with its indemnification obligations hereunder and (iii) a Party’s breach or violation of any covenant in this Agreement that is to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing.

		
	8.8.
	Set-Off.  In addition to all other remedies contemplated herein, Buyer may set off, deduct or retain any amount due to Buyer in respect of any claim for indemnification against any of the Company Holders pursuant to this Agreement against any payments which Buyer may be obliged to make (or procure to be made) to the Company Holders pursuant to this Agreement, including any obligation of Buyer to pay any Contingent Payment; [ * ].

		
	8.9.
	No Right of Contribution.  No Company Holder shall have any right of contribution against the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.

		
	8.10.
	No Circular Recovery.  Each Company Holder hereby agrees that it will not make any claim for indemnification against Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or the Company by reason of the fact that such Company Holder was a controlling Person, director, employee or Representative of the Company or the Surviving Corporation or was serving as such for another Person at the request of Buyer or the Company (whether such claim is for Losses of any kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, organizational document, contractual obligation or otherwise) with respect to any claim brought by an Indemnified Party against any Company Holder relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.  With respect to any claim brought by an Indemnified Party against any Company Holder relating to this Agreement and any of the transactions contemplated hereby, each Company Holder expressly waives any right of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against the Company with respect to any amounts owed by such Company Holder pursuant to this ARTICLE 8.

		
	8.11.
	Release of Indemnification Escrow Fund.  Subject to Section 2.15.2, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, on the Escrow Termination Date, any amounts remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, minus any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Fund subject to pending claims for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 (including any accrued or estimated fees and expenses associated with such claim), shall be released from the Indemnification Escrow Fund for disbursement to the Company Holders or to the Surviving Corporation for amounts to be paid through payroll (subject to applicable withholding), or for retention by the Surviving Corporation with respect to an amount equal to any applicable Escrow Release Tax Costs. On the Business Day immediately following the Escrow Termination Date, the Paying Agent and Surviving Corporation shall (and shall be instructed by the Shareholders’ Representative and the Buyer to) pay such released amount (subject to applicable withholding and less any applicable Escrow Release Tax Costs) to the Company Holders in accordance with this Agreement and Schedule I.  Subject to Section 2.15.2, any remaining portion of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, after payment and satisfaction of any and all pending claims for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, shall be released from the Indemnification Escrow Fund for disbursement to the Company Holders or to the Surviving Corporation for amounts to be paid through payroll (subject to applicable withholding), or for retention by the Surviving Corporation with respect to an amount equal to any applicable Escrow Release Tax Costs, promptly following resolution of such pending claims.

ARTICLE 9     
TERMINATION

		
	9.1.
	Termination.

		
	9.1.1.
	This Agreement may be terminated, and the Merger contemplated hereby may be abandoned, at any time prior to the Closing:

		
	(a)
	by Buyer by written notice to the Company if the Shareholder Approval has not been delivered to Buyer by [ * ]; 

		
	(b)
	by mutual consent of Buyer, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand;

		
	(c)
	by Buyer, if there has been a breach by the Company of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement which has prevented the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of Buyer pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 at the Closing and such breach has not been waived by Buyer, or cured by the Company within [ * ] after written notice thereof from Buyer; provided that Buyer will not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1.1(c) if Buyer is then in material violation or breach of any of its covenants, obligations, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement;

		
	(d)
	by the Company, if there has been a breach by Buyer of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement which has prevented the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of the Company pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.3 at the Closing and such breach has not been waived by the Company, or cured by Buyer within [ * ] after written notice thereof by the Company; provided that the Company will not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1.1(d) if the Company is then in material violation or breach of any of its covenants, obligations, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement; or

		
	(e)
	by either Buyer or the Company if the Closing Date does not occur by [ * ] (the “Outside Date”) (provided, however, that  (i) Buyer will not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1.1(e) if Buyer is then in material violation or breach of any of its covenants, obligations, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, (ii) the Company will not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1.1(e) if the Company is then in material violation or breach of any of its covenants, obligations, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement); and (iii) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1.1(e) shall not be available to a Party if the failure of the Merger to have been consummated on or before the Outside Date was primarily due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement.

		
	9.2.
	Effect of Termination.  If this Agreement is terminated and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby are abandoned as described in this ARTICLE 9, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force or effect, except for the provisions of Sections 2.11.3 (Shareholders’ Representative Indemnification), 6.10 (Confidentiality), 7.2 (Publicity), 7.4 (Expenses), this 9.2 (Effect of Termination), and ARTICLE 10 (Miscellaneous) (in each case including the respective meanings ascribed to the related capitalized terms in Article I (Definitions)); provided that nothing in this Section 9.2 shall be deemed to (a) release any Party from any liability for any breach by such Party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of any Party to compel specific performance by the other Party of its respective obligations under this Agreement, and (b) nothing in this ARTICLE 9 shall limit the liability of any Party hereto for Fraud or Willful Breach, in each case, including, in the case of damages sought by the Company, damages based on the consideration payable to the Company Holders pursuant to this Agreement.  For purposes of clause (b) in the foregoing sentence, Willful Breach shall mean “the breach of a covenant or obligation under this Agreement where: (w) such covenant or obligation is material to the ability of the breaching Party to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement; (x) the breach Party shall have materially and willfully breached such covenant or obligation; (y) the breach of such covenant or obligation shall not have been cured in all material respects; and (z) and executive officer of the breaching Party had actual knowledge, at the time of such breach of such covenant or obligation, (i) that the breaching Party was breaching such covenant or obligation and (ii) of the consequences of such breach under this Agreement.” For the avoidance of doubt, Section 6.11 shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

	10.3.
	Consents and Approvals.  For any matter under this Agreement requiring the consent or approval of any Party, to be valid and binding on the Parties, such consent or approval must be in writing.

	10.5.
	Consent to Jurisdiction; Enforcement.  Each of the Parties irrevocably (a) consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) for the purpose of any disputes, suits, actions or proceedings of any nature arising under, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement (“Disputes”) or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof; (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (c) agrees that service of process may be made in the manner provided for in Section 10.1 or such other manner as may be provided under Applicable Law; and (d) agrees that, except as set forth below, it will not bring any Dispute relating to this Agreement in any court other than the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.  Each of the parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Dispute with respect to this Agreement, (x) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 10.5, (y) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise); and (z) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any claim that (A) the Dispute in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum; (B) the venue of such Dispute is improper; or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter of this Agreement, may not be enforced in or by such courts. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND FOREGO ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. This Section 10.5 shall not apply to any dispute under Section 2.13 that is required to be decided by the Auditor. Each Party hereby waives any defenses in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.  During the pendency of any dispute resolution proceeding between the Parties under this Section 10.5, the obligation to make any payment under this Agreement from one Party to the other Party, which payment is the subject, in whole or in part, of a proceeding under this Section 10.5, shall be tolled until the final outcome of such dispute has been established.

		
	10.6.
	Waiver.  No provision of this Agreement will be waived by any act, omission or knowledge of a Party or its agents or employees except by an instrument in writing expressly waiving such provision and signed by a duly authorized officer of the waiving Party.  The waiver by any of the Parties of any breach of any provision hereof by any other Party will not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision itself.  Except as expressly set forth in ARTICLE 8, the remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to any Party at Applicable Law, in equity or otherwise.

		
	10.7.
	Amendment.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time, whether before or after the Shareholder Approval has been obtained; provided, however, that, after the Shareholder Approval has been obtained, there shall be made no amendment that by Applicable Law requires further approval by shareholders of either Party, without the further approval of such shareholders.  No amendment, modification or supplement of any provision of this Agreement will be valid or effective unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of each Party.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative may cause this Agreement to be amended at any time after the Closing by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Buyer and the Shareholders’ Representative.

		
	10.8.
	Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Disclosure Schedule and exhibits and all ancillary agreements, documents or instruments to be delivered in connection herewith and therewith, constitute and contain the complete, final and exclusive understanding and agreement of the Parties and cancels and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, among the Parties respecting the subject matter hereof and thereof, including that certain Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2018, by and between Company and Buyer, as amended, which is hereby superseded and replaced in its entirety as of the date hereof, and any Confidential Information disclosed by a Party under such agreement will be treated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

		
	10.9.
	No Third-Party Rights or Obligations.  No provision of this Agreement will be deemed or construed in any way to result in the creation of any rights or obligations in any Person not a Party to this Agreement (except that ARTICLE 8 is intended to benefit the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Company Holder Indemnified Parties).  No covenant or other undertaking in this Agreement shall constitute the establishment or termination of, or an amendment to any Plan, or any other plan, program, policy or arrangement, and any covenant or undertaking that suggests that a Plan will be amended, shall be effective only upon the adoption of a written amendment in accordance with the amendment procedures of such Plan.  Nothing in this Section 10.9 shall be construed to impair the rights and powers of the Shareholders’ Representative to take or refrain from taking any action for and on behalf of the Company Holders to enforce the rights of the Company Holders under this Agreement as provided in Section 2.11.

		
	10.10.
	Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which, taken together, will constitute the same document.  Counterparts may be signed and delivered by facsimile or digital transmission (e.g., .pdf), each of which will be binding when received by the applicable Party. 

		
	10.11.
	Severability.  If any clause or portion thereof in this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the same will not affect any other portion of this Agreement, as it is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement will be construed in such fashion as to maintain its existence, validity and enforceability to the greatest extent possible.  In any such event, this Agreement will be construed as if such clause of portion thereof had never been contained in this Agreement, and there will be deemed substituted therefor such provision as will most nearly carry out the intent of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. 

		
	10.12.
	English Language.  This Agreement shall be written and executed in, and all other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in, the English language.  Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version thereof, and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall control.

		
	10.13.
	Representation by Legal Counsel.  Each Party hereto represents that it has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting hereof.  In interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that no presumption will exist or be implied against the Party that drafted such terms and provisions.

		
	10.14.
	Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representation.  As of the Effective Time, Buyer hereby waives and agrees not to assert, and Buyer agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation and each of future subsidiaries to waive and not to assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to any representation after the Closing (any “Post-Closing Representation”) of the Shareholders’ Representative, any Company Holders, any of their respective Affiliates or any officer, employee or director of the Shareholders’ Representative, any Company Holders or the Company (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement or any agreement, certificate, instrument or other document executed or delivered pursuant to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including any litigation, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding and including any matter regarding the negotiation, execution, performance or enforceability hereof or thereof) by Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP in respect of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP’s representation of the Company prior to the Closing in connection with this Agreement (the “Current Representation”).  

[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

		
	10.15.
	Non-Assertion of Attorney Client Privilege.  As of the Effective Time, Buyer hereby agrees not to control or assert, and Buyer agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its future subsidiaries not to control or assert, any attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other similar privilege or protection applicable to any communication between Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP and any Designated Person during the Current Representation in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute with Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and each of its future subsidiaries), it being the intention of the parties hereto that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or Section 259 of the DGCL, all rights of any Person under or with respect to such attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other similar privilege or protection, including the right to waive, assert and otherwise control such attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other similar privilege or protection, shall be (and are hereby) transferred to or retained by (as applicable), and vested solely in, such Designated Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates, and a Person not a party to this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party.
