(b)                Conversion of Company Stock. Each share of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares or Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(c)                Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of common stock, of the Interim Surviving Corporation ("Interim Surviving Corporation Common Stock") with the same rights, powers, and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Interim Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Date, all certificates representing shares of Merger Sub common stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Interim Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(d)                Cancellation of Shares. At the Effective Time, (i) all shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, (ii) no holder of record of a certificate or certificates or any Book-Entry Shares that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of the Company Stock ("Certificates") shall have any rights as a Stockholder, and (iii) such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing any outstanding shares of Company Stock (except for Cancelled Shares or Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares as set forth in this Agreement.

(e)                Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Company Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Stock converted pursuant to the First Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Stock (after taking into account all shares of Company Stock exchanged by such holder) shall in lieu thereof, upon surrender of such holder's certificates or book-entry shares, receive in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the last reported sale price of Parent Stock on the NASDAQ on the last complete trading day prior to the date of the Effective Time.

Section 3.2.             Effect of the Second Merger on Capital Stock. At the Second Effective Time, as a result of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Subs, the Company or the Interim Surviving Corporation or any holder of capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Interim Surviving Corporation or the holder of any membership interests in Merger Sub LLC, each share of Interim Surviving Corporation Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and become one common unit of the membership interest of the Surviving Entity, and each unit of membership interest of Merger Sub LLC issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall remain outstanding as a common unit of the membership interest of Surviving Entity.

Section 3.3.             Payments at Closing.

(a)                At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a written statement (the "Pre-Closing Statement") setting forth the following information: (i) for each Securityholder, such Securityholder's name, address, and email address; (ii) for each Stockholder, the number of shares of Company Stock held by each such Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, and for each Optionholder, the number of shares of Company Stock underlying such Company Options, the exercise price, date of grant, the date such Company Options are first exercisable, and the number of shares vested and unvested underlying such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and whether all or a portion of such Company Option is a Rollover Option; (iii) the respective aggregate amounts payable to each Securityholder at the Effective Time, and that portion thereof payable in respect of shares of Company Stock and Company Options that are not Rollover Options; (iv) the Allocable Percentage for each Securityholder; (v) the amount of the Expense Fund Amount that will be allocated to each Securityholder pursuant to each Securityholder's Allocable Percentage; (vi) the amount of the Adjustment Escrow Amount that will be allocated to each Securityholder pursuant to each such Securityholder's Allocable Percentage; (vii) an estimate of Closing Cash as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; (viii) an estimate of Closing Indebtedness as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ix) an estimate of Closing Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; (x) an estimate of the Working Capital Adjustment as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; (xi) a calculation of the Closing Cash Payment, showing each component thereof, calculated using such estimated amounts; (xii) a list of all Company Expenses payable in connection with the Closing, including the recipients of such Company Expenses, the amounts to be paid to each such recipient (before any applicable Tax withholding), and, to the extent available, wire transfer instructions or a mailing address for payment to be made; and (xiii) a list, including amounts, payees and wire instructions, of all Indebtedness of the Company Group to be repaid at Closing in accordance with the Payoff Letters. The Pre-Closing Statement shall be prepared (and the estimates, determinations and calculations contained therein shall be made) in good faith in accordance with the applicable definitions set forth in this Agreement.

(b)                Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Parent shall:

(i)                 Deposit with the (A) Paying Agent that portion of the Closing Cash Payment then payable in respect of Company Stock set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement, which amount the Paying Agent shall pay to the applicable Stockholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement including the exchange process set forth in Section 3.9, and (B) Surviving Entity that portion of the Closing Cash Payment then payable in respect of Company Options set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement (for further distribution to each Optionholder in accordance with the Surviving Entity's ordinary payroll practices);

(ii)               Deliver to the Transfer Agent (or an exchange agent mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parent and the Company) through book-entry delivery the Parent Stock for distribution to the accounts of each of the applicable Securityholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(iii)             Deliver the Stock Preference Amount to the Transfer Agent (or to the extent Parent and the Company mutually agree upon in writing to engage an exchange agent, such exchange agent) through book-entry delivery to the account of the Person entitled to receive the Stock Preference Amount as set forth on Schedule A.

(iv)              Pay to each holder of Closing Indebtedness the full amount of such Indebtedness in accordance with the information in the Pre-Closing Statement and the Payoff Letters;

(v)                Pay all outstanding Company Expenses in the amounts, to the recipients and pursuant to the instructions set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement;

(vi)              Pay to the Securityholder Representative the Expense Fund Amount; and

(vii)            Deposit, or cause to be deposited, the Adjustment Escrow Amount in immediately available funds into the Adjustment Escrow Account, in each case, such funds to be held and maintained by the Escrow Agent pursuant to an escrow agreement, in a form to be reasonably agreed between the parties hereto to be entered into on the Closing Date by and among Parent, the Securityholder Representative, and the Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Agreement"), and Parent will be deemed to have contributed on behalf of each Securityholder, his or her pro rata portion of the Adjustment Escrow Amount into the applicable escrow account. The parties hereto agree for U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income Tax purposes that (A) the Escrow Amount shall be treated as deferred contingent purchase price eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and (B) if, and to the extent any portion of the escrow account is actually distributed to the Securityholders, interest may be imputed on such portion, as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code.

(c)                Payments to the Securityholders.

(i)                 At the Closing (or, if a duly executed Letter of Transmittal has not been delivered by such holder of Company Stock prior to the Closing, following the Closing):

(A)              the Paying Agent will pay and deliver to each such holder of Company Stock that is a Company Accredited Investor and has delivered to the Paying Agent a duly executed Letter of Transmittal in accordance with Section 3.9 and has provided the Paying Agent with payment instructions and any requested tax forms, an amount (without interest) equal to that portion of the Closing Cash Payment, and

(B)              the Transfer Agent (or to the extent Parent and the Company mutually agree upon in writing to engage an exchange agent, such exchange agent) will deliver to each such holder of Company Stock that is a Company Accredited Investor and has delivered to the Paying Agent a duly executed Letter of Transmittal in accordance with Section 3.9 and has provided the Transfer Agent with applicable instructions and any requested tax forms a number of Parent Common Shares equal to that portion of the Parent Stock;

in each case of clauses (1) and (2) attributable to such shares of Company Stock surrendered which such Stockholder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1, which amount shall be set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement.

(ii)               At the Closing (or, if a duly executed Letter of Transmittal has not been delivered by such holder of Company Stock prior to the Closing, following the Closing), the Paying Agent will pay and deliver to each such holder of Company Stock that is not a Company Accredited Investor and has delivered to the Paying Agent a duly executed Letter of Transmittal in accordance with Section 3.9 and has provided the Paying Agent with payment instructions and any requested tax forms, an amount (without interest) equal to the consideration as calculated in accordance with Section 3.13 below.

(iii)             At the Closing, the Surviving Entity will pay (in accordance with the Surviving Entity's ordinary payroll practices), with respect to each In-the-Money Option held by such Optionholder immediately prior to the Effective Time, an amount (without interest) equal to that portion of the Closing Cash Payment attributable to such In-the-Money Option which such Optionholder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.8, which amount shall be set forth on the Pre-Closing Statement.

Section 3.4.             Post-Closing Adjustments.

(a)                Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Securityholder Representative a written statement (the "Closing Statement") which shall include (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the "Closing Balance Sheet") and (ii) Parent's calculations of (A) Closing Cash, (B) Closing Indebtedness, (C) Closing Net Working Capital, (D) the Working Capital Adjustment, (E) the Company Expenses, and (F) based on the foregoing, a calculation of the Cash Consideration Amount, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the methodologies and practices used by the Company in the preparation of the Pre-Closing Statement and shall include reasonable supporting documentation for the calculations and components contained therein. The Closing Statement shall be prepared (and the determinations and calculations contained therein shall be made) in good faith in accordance with the applicable definitions set forth in this Agreement.

(b)                The Securityholder Representative shall have forty-five (45) days following its receipt of the Closing Statement (the "Review Period") to review the same. During the Review Period, the Surviving Entity and Parent shall provide the Securityholder Representative with full access to (i) such information as may be reasonably requested by the Securityholder Representative with respect to their review of the Closing Statement, including without limitation all accountant work papers and the books and records of the Company Group and the Surviving Entity and (ii) any personnel of Parent (or any of its subsidiaries, including the Surviving Entity) or the Company Group, including Third Party accountants and auditors who are familiar with such matters or otherwise involved in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and other information contained in the Closing Statement and/or any components thereof. On or before the expiration of the Review Period, the Securityholder Representative shall deliver to Parent a reasonably detailed written statement accepting or objecting to the Closing Statement. In the event that the Securityholder Representative shall object to the Closing Statement, such written statement (an "Objection Notice") shall include a reasonable explanation of the Securityholder Representative's objections and the reasons therefor. The Securityholder Representative may object to any component of the Closing Statement and/or any of the calculations set forth therein and/or any component of any of the numbers set forth in the Closing Statement or any other matters set forth therein. If the Securityholder Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice to Parent within the Review Period, the Securityholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Statement and all of the determinations and calculations contained therein, and the same shall become binding and conclusive on the parties hereto and not subject to further appeal.

(c)                In the event that the Securityholder Representative shall have duly delivered an Objection Notice to Parent within the Review Period, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall promptly in good faith attempt to resolve the objections contained therein. All such objections that are resolved in a signed writing between the parties shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and not subject to further appeal (the "Resolved Items"). Any such objections which cannot be resolved between Parent and the Securityholder Representative within thirty (30) days following Parent's receipt of the Objection Notice (such specific remaining objections, collectively, the "Unresolved Items") shall be resolved in accordance with this Section 3.4(c); provided, that neither Parent nor the Securityholder Representative shall be permitted to raise any objection to the Pre-Closing Statement or the Closing Statement, as applicable, unless such objection is raised in the initial Closing Statement or the initial Objection Notice, respectively, as opposed to any amendment or restatement thereof, none of which shall be permitted. Should the Securityholder Representative and Parent not be able to resolve such Unresolved Items within the thirty (30) day period described above, upon notice from either Parent or the Securityholder Representative to engage the Independent Accounting Firm, Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall mutually engage and submit such Unresolved Items to the Independent Accounting Firm for review and resolution, with instructions to complete the same as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of its engagement. Each of Parent and the Securityholder Representative agree to execute, if required, a customary engagement letter with the Independent Accounting Firm. Such Independent Accounting Firm shall review only the Unresolved Items and shall deliver a written statement, within thirty (30) days of the submission of the Unresolved Items to such Independent Accounting Firm (it being understood that all Unresolved Items must be submitted at the same time), setting forth its own calculation of each of the Unresolved Items. The calculation for each Unresolved Item shall not be greater than the highest value, or less than the lowest value, given such Unresolved Item in the Closing Statement or the Objection Notice, as applicable, and shall be made using the same methodologies and practices used by the Company Group in the preparation of the Most Recent Balance Sheet, consistently applied, and shall be based solely on the materials submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm by Parent or the Securityholder Representative, and not by independent review. Neither Parent not the Securityholder Representative shall have or conduct any communication, either written or oral, with the Independent Accounting Firm without the other party being present or receiving a concurrent copy of any written communication. The Independent Accounting Firm's calculations of the Unresolved Items, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive on the parties and not subject to appeal. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such Unresolved Items by the Independent Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent and the Securityholder Representative so that the amount of fees and expenses paid by the Securityholder Representative (with the remainder of such amount being paid by Parent) shall be equal to the product of (x) and (y), where (x) is the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses, and where (y) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount actually in dispute that is ultimately not awarded to the Securityholder Representative (as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) and the denominator of which is the amount actually contested by the Securityholder Representative. The parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 3.4(c) for resolving disputes with respect to the Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes. The Independent Accounting Firm's determination may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)                Adjustments.

(i)                 Once Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Net Working Capital and the Working Capital Adjustment as of the Effective Time are finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.4(d), the parties shall recalculate the Closing Cash Payment using such finally determined amounts of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Net Working Capital and the Working Capital Adjustment instead of Estimated Closing Cash, Estimated Closing Indebtedness, Estimated Closing Net Working Capital and Estimated Working Capital Adjustment, respectively.

(ii)               To the extent that the amount of the recalculated Closing Cash Payment is less than the amount of the Closing Cash Payment shown on the Pre-Closing Statement (such difference, the "Adjustment Deficit Amount"), then within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the recalculated Closing Cash Payment is finally determined, the Securityholder Representative and Parent shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to Parent a portion of the Adjustment Escrow Amount equal to the Adjustment Deficit Amount. In no event shall the Securityholders or the Securityholder Representative be liable under this Section 3.4 for any amount in excess of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, which shall represent Parent's sole and exclusive recourse with respect to the Adjustment Deficit Amount.

(iii)             To the extent that the amount of the recalculated Closing Cash Payment is greater than the amount of the Closing Cash Payment shown on the Pre-Closing Statement (such difference, the "Adjustment Surplus Amount"), then within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the recalculated Closing Cash Payment is finally determined, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, (A) pay (x) the portion of the Adjustment Surplus Amount allocable to the Stockholders to the Paying Agent, for the benefit of, and for further distribution to, such Stockholders in accordance with their Allocable Percentage, and (y) the portion of the Adjustment Surplus Amount allocable to the Optionholders to the Surviving Entity, for the benefit of, and for further distribution in accordance with the Surviving Entity's ordinary payroll practices to, such Optionholders in accordance with their respective Allocable Percentage.

(iv)              After giving effect to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 3.4(d), Parent and the Securityholder Representative shall, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the recalculated Closing Cash Payment is finally determined, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to, (A) disburse (x) the portion of the remainder of the funds from the Adjustment Escrow Account, if any, allocable to the Stockholders to the Paying Agent, for the benefit of, and for further distribution to, such Stockholders in accordance with their Allocable Percentage, and (y) the portion of the remainder of the funds from the Adjustment Escrow Account, if any, allocable to the Optionholders to the Surviving Entity, for the benefit of, and for further distribution in accordance with the Surviving Entity's ordinary payroll practices to such Optionholders in accordance with their respective Allocable Percentage.

Section 3.5.           Withholding. Each of Parent, Merger Subs, and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article III such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable Legal Requirement; provided, however, that except with respect to any compensatory payments to current or former employees of the Company Group, Parent shall (a) promptly provide such Persons with written notice of any amounts intended to be deducted or withheld reasonably (and not less than three (3) Business Days) in advance of the payment thereof, (b) cooperate in good faith with such Persons to seek to eliminate or reduce any such withholding or deduction, and (c) provide such Persons a reasonable opportunity to provide any applicable certificates, forms or other documentation that would eliminate or reduce the requirement to deduct or withhold under any such applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Parent, Merger Subs, or the Surviving Entity and duly paid to the applicable Governmental Authority, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which Parent, Merger Subs, or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 3.6.             Tax Treatment. The Mergers are intended to constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code. Accordingly, the parties hereto intend the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, to constitute integrated steps in a single "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3, which plan of reorganization the parties adopt by executing this Agreement. Neither the parties hereto nor any of their respective Affiliates will take any position that is inconsistent with this Section 3.6 unless required to do so by applicable Legal Requirements or the good faith resolution of a Tax audit.

Section 3.7.             Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any share of Company Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which is held by a Stockholder who has properly exercised his, her or its appraisal rights under the Delaware Law (such share being a "Dissenting Share" and such Stockholder being a "Dissenting Stockholder"), shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration to which the holder of such share would be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 3.1, but rather shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Share pursuant to the Delaware Law; provided, however, that if any Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect such stockholder's appraisal rights under the Delaware Law or effectively waives, withdraws or otherwise loses such rights with respect to any Dissenting Shares, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such stockholder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the Delaware Law, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon automatically be converted into the right to receive the applicable amounts provided in this Agreement, including Section 3.1, pursuant to the exchange procedures set forth in Section 3.9. The Company shall give (A) Parent prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Delaware Law, and (B) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

Section 3.8.                Treatment of Company Options.

(a)                Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised shall become fully vested and exercisable in full. At the Effective Time, each In-the-Money Option (other than a Rollover Option) shall be cancelled and terminated, and, upon the cancellation and termination thereof, converted into the right to receive for each share of Company Class A Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (such aggregate amount, the "Company Option Consideration"): (i) an amount of cash, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of the sum of (x) the Per Share Closing Cash Payment Amount, plus (y) the Per Share Closing Parent Stock Amount, minus the exercise price of such Company Option (the "Net Option Payment"), plus (ii) the Per Share Adjustment Surplus Amount, if any. Promptly (and, in any case, within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date), each holder of Company Options as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive from the Surviving Entity the applicable Net Option Payment for each share of Company Stock underlying such In-the-Money Options less any required withholding of Taxes under applicable Legal Requirements. Promptly after the date on which the Per Share Adjustment Surplus Amount, if any, is determined to be payable to the Securityholders (and in no event later than the next regularly scheduled payroll period), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, disburse the amounts due to the former holders of such In-the-Money Options pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, less any required withholding of Taxes under applicable Legal Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, at the Effective Time, any Company Option that is not an In-the-Money Option or Rollover Option shall be cancelled and terminated without consideration.

(b)                As of the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the number of Company Options held by each Optionholder set forth on Schedule 3.8 opposite the Optionholder's name (each, a "Rollover Option") and each Rollover Option shall be converted, subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to such Rollover Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, into an option to purchase the number of Parent Common Shares equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Rollover Option, multiplied by (ii) the Rollover Option Ratio, rounding down to the nearest whole number of Parent Common Shares, at an exercise price per Parent Common Share equal to (x) the exercise price per share of Company Stock subject to such Rollover Option, divided by (y) the Rollover Option Ratio, rounding up to the nearest whole cent (each, a "Parent Option"); provided that the exercise price, the number of Parent Common Shares and the terms and conditions of such Parent Option shall be determined consistent with the applicable requirements for nonstatutory stock options not providing for the deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code, subject to equitable adjustment by agreement between the Company and Parent consistent with Section 409A of the Code to limit the number of shares issuable to holders of Rollover Options to the Rollover Share Amount.

(c)                At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume all rights and obligations in respect of the Company Option Plan, including each Rollover Option to be converted in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.8 except that: (i) the shares of stock covered by such options shall be Parent Common Shares; and (ii) all references in the Company Option Plan to shares of Company Stock shall be amended or deemed amended to refer instead to Parent Common Shares. Parent shall take all actions that are necessary for the assumption of the Rollover Options pursuant to this Section 3.8, including the reservation, issuance and listing of Parent Common Shares as necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.8. If registration of the Parent Common Shares issuable with respect to the Rollover Options is required under the Securities Act, Parent shall file with the SEC on the Closing Date a registration statement with respect to such shares, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as the Company Option Plan remains in effect and such registration continues to be required.

(d)                The Company and Parent shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be reasonably required to effect the transactions described in this Section 3.8 as of the Effective Time.

Section 3.9.             Letter of Transmittal; Procedures for Surrender.

(a)                As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to send, mail or otherwise distribute to each holder of record of outstanding shares of Company Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time whose shares of Company Stock were cancelled and converted pursuant to Section 3.1 into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal in a form to be reasonably agreed between the parties hereto, which shall include an Investor Questionnaire (the "Letter of Transmittal"), and (ii) instructions, which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the account of such holder at the Transfer Agent. Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares for cancellation to the Paying Agent, in each case together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a payment of the applicable amount provided in Section 3.1 with respect to such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings pursuant to Section 3.5) and the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to, no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of each Letter of Transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto and properly surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, make the payment of the applicable amount provided in Section 3.1 to the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by such holder in the Letter of Transmittal. Parent shall cause the Transfer Agent (or an exchange agent mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parent and the Company) to, no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of each Letter of Transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto and properly surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, make the transfer of the applicable amount of Parent Common Shares provided in Section 3.1 to the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, to an account designated by the holder in the Letter of Transmittal. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates that prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Stock (other than Dissenting Shares and Cancelled Shares) will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all purposes, to evidence the right to receive a payment of the applicable amount provided in Section 3.1. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Paying Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 3.9(b). No interest shall be paid or accrued after the Effective Time on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. If payment is to be made to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares surrendered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer, in the case of certificated shares, and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent (or to the extent Parent and the Company mutually agree upon in writing to engage an exchange agent), as applicable that such Tax was paid or is not applicable. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall thereafter be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time on the records of the Company. After the Effective Time, no transfer of Company Stock shall thereafter be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Entity.

(b)                Any portion of the funds or shares received by the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent, or to the extent Parent and the Company mutually agree upon in writing to engage an exchange agent, such exchange agent (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) which remains unclaimed by the Securityholders for one (1) year after the date of payment to the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent (or to the extent Parent and the Company mutually agree upon in writing to engage an exchange agent, such exchange agent) shall be delivered to the Surviving Entity. Any Securityholder that has not theretofore surrendered any Certificates and submitted a Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the requirements set forth therein and in this Article III, or otherwise received any portion of the Merger Consideration due and payable to such Securityholder pursuant to this Agreement, shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Entity for payment of the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings and without any interest thereon) upon due surrender of any applicable Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares, together with a Letter of Transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.9(b), none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Entity, the Securityholder Representative, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Securityholder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 3.10.          Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by such record holder, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent (or to the extent Parent and the Company mutually agree upon in writing to engage an exchange agent, such exchange agent) to pay to the record holder of such Certificate the applicable payment of the applicable amounts and the applicable transfer of the applicable amount of Parent Common Shares provided in Section 3.1 to be paid in respect of the shares represented thereby upon due surrender of and deliverable in respect of the shares represented by such Certificate pursuant to this Agreement and such Person also shall be entitled to the right to receive the payment of the applicable amounts provided in Section 3.1, following delivery of a Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto; provided, however, that the Surviving Entity may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such consideration, require such record holder to indemnify Parent and the Surviving Entity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate.

Section 3.11.          Paying Agent. In connection with the Closing, Parent, the Securityholder Representative and Acquiom Financial LLC (the "Paying Agent") shall execute and deliver a paying agent agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Parent and the Company (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 this Agreement.

Section 3.12.          Expense Fund Amount Deposit. At the Closing, and without any act of any Securityholder, Parent shall deposit $250,000 (the "Expense Fund Amount") with the Securityholder Representative for the payment, or reimbursement of the Securityholder Representative, of expenses incurred by the Securityholder Representative in performing its duties pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto (the "Expense Fund"). Parent will be deemed to have contributed on behalf of each Securityholder, his, her or its Allocable Percentage of the Expense Fund Amount for retention by the Securityholder Representative. For U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income Tax purposes, the Expense Fund Amount shall be reported as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Securityholders at the time of Closing. The Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholder Representative any ownership right that they may have otherwise had in any such interest or earnings. The Securityholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction has finally determined such loss to be a result of its or any of its Representatives' fraud, bad faith, or willful misconduct (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel, accountants or other professionals and experts retained by the Securityholder Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). The Securityholder 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. Promptly after the date that the Securityholder Representative reasonably determines that its responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement have been discharged in full ("Expense Fund Distribution Date"), the Securityholder Representative shall release any amounts then remaining in the Expense Fund (the "Expense Fund Distribution Amount") to the Paying Agent or the Surviving Entity for payment to the Securityholders, in each case, in accordance with their respective Allocable Percentage of the Expense Fund Distribution Amount. Notwithstanding the delivery of any remaining portion of the Expense Fund Amount to the Paying Agent, such remaining portion shall not be available to satisfy any indemnification or other obligations owing to Parent hereunder. None of Parent or any of its Affiliates shall have any liability or obligation with respect to the use of the Expense Fund Amount by the Securityholder Representative.

Section 3.13.          Private Placement. Parent intends to issue the Parent Stock in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and in reliance on exemptions from the registration or qualification requirements of state securities or "blue sky" laws. Parent will not be required to issue any Parent Common Shares to any Stockholder, and no such Stockholder will be entitled to receive any shares of Parent Stock unless Parent has received a completed Investor Questionnaire in respect of such Stockholder confirming that such Stockholder is an "accredited investor" for the purposes of, and within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of, Regulation D under the Securities Act. Stockholders who are not Company Accredited Investors will be entitled to receive from Parent the portion of the consideration otherwise payable to such holder hereunder in Parent Stock solely in cash in lieu of such Parent Stock which shall be calculated and determined in good-faith by Parent and, prior to Closing, the Company, and after Closing, the Securityholder Representative.

Each Company Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (a "Qualified Benefit Plan") is so qualified and has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service or, with respect to a pre-approved prototype or volume submitter plan, can rely on an opinion or an advisory letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the prototype or volume submitter plan sponsor to the effect that such Qualified Benefit Plan is so qualified, and, to the Company's Knowledge, nothing has occurred that could reasonably be expected to cause the revocation of such determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service or the unavailability of reliance on such opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service, as applicable. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, nothing has occurred with respect to any Company Plan that has subjected or could reasonably be expected to subject the Company to a penalty under Section 502 of ERISA or to a tax or penalty under Section 4975 of the Code. All material benefits, contributions and premiums relating to each Company Plan have been timely paid in accordance with the terms of such Company Plan and all applicable Legal Requirements and accounting principles, and all material contributions and premiums for any period ending on or before the Closing Date that are not yet due have been properly accrued.

(f)                 Each Company Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been documented and operated in material compliance with such Section and all applicable regulatory guidance (including notices, rulings and proposed and final regulations). There is no contract by which the Company Group is bound to compensate any employee for taxes or interest paid pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

(g)                Except as set forth in Schedule 4.9(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not (either alone or together with any other events or circumstances that on their own would not result in any entitlement to payment) entitle any employee of the Company Group to severance pay or accelerate the time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, or increase the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant to, any Company Plan. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.9(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, there is no contract covering any employee or other service provider of the Company Group that, considered individually or considered collectively with any other such contracts, will, or would reasonably be expected to, give rise directly or indirectly to the payment of any amount that would be characterized as a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code. There is no contract by which the Company Group is bound to compensate any employee for excise taxes paid pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code.

(h)                Neither the Company Group nor any ERISA Affiliate has any current or projected liability in respect of post-employment or post-retirement health, medical or life insurance benefits or any other welfare benefits for retired, former or current employees (or their beneficiaries) of the Company Group or any ERISA Affiliate, except as required to avoid excise Tax under Section 4980B of the Code or except for the continuation of coverage through the end of the calendar month in which termination from employment occurs. Neither the Company Group nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred (whether or not assessed) any Tax or penalty under Section 4980B, 4980H, 4980D, 6721 or 6722 of the Code. No condition exists that would prevent the Company Group or any ERISA Affiliate from amending or terminating any Company Plan that is an "employee welfare benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA.

(i)                 Schedule 4.9(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedules identifies each Company Plan which is or has been sponsored, maintained, contributed to or required to be contributed to by the Company Group or any ERISA Affiliate for the benefit of any current or former Employee or other service provider who performs services outside the United States. Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Section 4.9, with respect to each Company Plan that is subject to the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (whether or not United States Law also applies) (a "Foreign Plan"): (i) all material employer and employee contributions to each Foreign Plan required by Law or by the terms of such Foreign Plan have been timely made, or, if applicable, accrued in accordance with normal accounting practices; (ii) each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities in all material respects; (iii) no Foreign Plan is a defined benefit plan (as defined in ERISA, whether or not subject to ERISA); and (iv) no material unfunded or underfunded Liabilities exist with respect to any Foreign Plan.

Parent will fully pay, or cause to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees arising pursuant to the Commitment Letters as and when they become due. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letters or it becomes reasonably likely that it would become so unavailable, Parent shall as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, notify the Company thereof in writing and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable following such event (x) alternative financing from the same or alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that does not contain any terms or conditions that would result in a Restricted Amendment if such terms or conditions were an amendment to the Commitment Letter or the terms and conditions to the Financing that is on terms not materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Parent than the Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement (the "Alternate Financing"), and (y) one or more new financing commitment letters with respect to such Alternate Financing (each, a "New Commitment Letter"), in each case, which New Commitment Letter(s) will replace the existing Commitment Letter(s) in whole or in part.

In the event that any New Commitment Letter is obtained, (A) any reference in this Agreement to the "Financing" or the "Commitment Letters" shall mean the Commitment Letters to the extent not superseded at the time in question, and any New Commitment Letter (and/or any related fee letter(s)) to the extent then in effect, and (B) any reference in this Agreement to the "Financing" will mean the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters as modified pursuant to the foregoing.

Section 6.12.          280G. To the extent that any "disqualified individual" (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) has the right to receive any payments or benefits that reasonably would be expected to be deemed to constitute "parachute payments" (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), then, the Company will, prior to the Closing Date, (a) solicit from each Person who the Company reasonably believes is, with respect to the Company, a "disqualified individual," a waiver of such disqualified individual's rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the "Waived 280G Benefits"), so that any remaining payments and/or benefits will not be deemed to be "excess parachute payments" (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), and (b) thereafter, with respect to each individual who executes the waiver described in clause (a), submit to a vote of the equityholders of the Company entitled to vote on such matters, in the manner intended to satisfy the requirements under Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the right of any such disqualified individual to receive the Waived 280G Benefits. In no event will this Section 6.12 be construed to require the Company to compel any disqualified individual to waive any existing rights under any Contract or arrangement that such disqualified individual has with the Company or its Affiliates, and in no event will the Company be deemed to be in breach of this Section 6.12 if any such disqualified individual refuses to waive any such rights. The Company will provide drafts of such waivers and disclosure and approval materials to Parent for its review and comment no later than three (3) Business Days prior to soliciting such waivers and soliciting such approval, and the Company shall consider all such comments in good faith and incorporate all such comments into such waivers and disclosure and applicable materials to the extent reasonable. To the extent that any Contract, agreement or plan will be entered into by, or at the direction of, Parent and/or any of its Affiliates and a disqualified individual at or prior to the Closing, Parent shall provide a copy of such Contract, agreement or plan to the Company at least ten (10) Business Days before the Closing and cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to calculate or determine the value (for purposes of Section 280G of the Code) of any payments or benefits granted or contemplated therein that may constitute, individually or in the aggregate with other payments and/or benefits, "parachute payments". If any of the Waived 280G Benefits fail to be approved as contemplated above, such Waived 280G Benefits will not be paid or provided. To the extent applicable, prior to the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to Parent evidence reasonably acceptable to Parent that a vote of the equityholders of the Company was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.12 and that either (i) the requisite number of votes of the equityholders of the Company was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits (the "280G Approval"), or (ii) the 280G Approval was not obtained, and, as a result, no Waived 280G Benefits will be made or provided.

Section 6.13.         Cooperation; Representation and Warranty Policy. During the Interim Period, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to, provide Parent with due diligence information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries reasonably requested by Parent for its use in the procurement of a representation and warranty insurance policy, subject in each case to the limitations set forth in Section 6.6(a); provided, however, in no event shall the Company be deemed to have breached this Section 6.13 solely as a result of Parent failing to obtain a representation and warranty insurance policy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Affiliates, securityholders or representatives shall be required to execute any document, make any representations or have any liability with respect to any such representation and warranty insurance policy. Parent acknowledges and agrees that obtaining a representation and warranty insurance policy is not a condition to Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the Company's and each of the Company's Subsidiaries' obligations under this Section 6.13 shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether the conditions set forth in Article IX have been satisfied (including for purposes of determining any termination rights under Article X).

The Company Group shall terminate, or cause to be terminated, all agreements set forth on Schedule 6.14, as of the Closing Date, and all liabilities thereunder shall have been satisfied (except to the extent that any such agreement provides for provisions that survive any termination thereof, in which case such provisions shall survive in accordance with the terms of the terminated agreements).

(a)                The Company Board shall recommend that the Stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Mergers and adoption of this Agreement and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain, following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Required Stockholder Vote in the form of the Stockholder Written Consent. Promptly following receipt of such Stockholder Written Consent, the Company shall deliver a copy of such Stockholder Written Consent to Parent.

(b)               Promptly following receipt of the Stockholder Written Consent, the Company shall prepare and mail to each holder of Company Stock that did not execute the Stockholder Written Consent, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, including Sections 228(e) and 262(d)(2) of the Delaware Law, an information statement in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent (the "Information Statement"), which shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and shall (i) include a statement to the effect that the Company Board has determined that the First Merger is advisable in accordance with Section 251(b) of the Delaware Law and in the best interests of the Stockholders and unanimously approved this Agreement, the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) provide the Stockholders to whom it is sent with the statutory notice that this Agreement, the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby have been approved by the Required Stockholder Vote in accordance with Section 228(e) of the Delaware Law and the bylaws of the Company, (iii) notify such Stockholders of their dissent and appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware Law (and shall include therewith a copy of Section 262 of the Delaware Law).

Section 6.16.          Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)                Indemnification. For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Entity shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer, director or manager of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or who acts as a fiduciary under any Company Plan (each, an "Indemnified Party") against all Claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any Claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director or manager of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, while a director, manager or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is or was serving at the request of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries as an officer, director or manager of another Person, whether pertaining to any act or omission occurring or existing prior to or at, but not after the Effective Time and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including all indemnified Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted to do so by Law and its Organizational Documents; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Party delivers to Parent or the Surviving Entity a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 6.16(a), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. Each Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in the defense of any such Claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from and each of Parent and the Surviving Entity within 90 days of receipt by Parent or the Surviving Entity from the Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any Indemnified Party to whom expenses are to be advanced provides, prior to any receipt of such advances, an undertaking, to the extent required by Delaware Law or other applicable Legal Requirement, to repay such advances if it is determined by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal) that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under applicable Legal Requirement. Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of each Indemnified Party as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date hereof, shall become obligations of the Surviving Entity in the Mergers, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the Mergers and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms; provided that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification. For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to, maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification, and advancement of expenses no less favorable than the provisions of the Organizational Documents of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to acts or omissions by any Indemnified Party occurring prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal, or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party; provided that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Claim made for indemnification within such period shall continue until the disposition of such action or resolution of such Claim.

(b)                Insurance. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall: (i) obtain and fully prepay as of the Effective Time the non-cancellable extension of the directors' and officers' liability coverage of the Company's existing directors' and officers' insurance policies and fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, the "D&O Tail Policy") covering Persons who are currently or were officers and directors of, or in a comparable role with, the Company, for a Claims reporting or discovery period of not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any Claim related to any period prior to the Effective Time from any insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company's current insurance carrier with respect to directors' and officers' liability insurance with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties, in each case with respect to Claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that in no event will the Company be required to expend, with respect to the entire six (6)-year period following the Effective Time, premiums for such D&O Tail Policy under this Section 6.16 which in the aggregate exceed 300% percent of the aggregate premiums paid by the Company for the period in its most recent fiscal year for such purpose prior to the date of this Agreement (the "Maximum Premium"). If the D&O Tail Policy cannot be obtained at an annual premium equal to or less than the Maximum Premium, the Company will obtain the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

(c)               Survival. The obligations of Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Entity under this Section 6.16 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.16 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.16 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.16, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.16).

For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Affiliates after the Effective Time (the "Parent Benefit Plans"), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries whose employment continues following the Effective Time (each, a "Continuing Employee")to be credited with his or her years of service with the Company or its applicable Affiliates and their respective predecessors prior to the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, prior to the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any corresponding Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, following the Effective Time, (i) Parent shall use commercially reasonably efforts to cause each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all corresponding Parent Benefit Plans to the extent coverage under any such Parent Benefit Plan is comparable to a Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) for purposes of each Parent Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, prescription drug and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (A) all preexisting condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Parent Benefit Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless and to the extent the individual, immediately prior to entry in any such Parent Benefit Plan, was subject to such conditions under the corresponding Company Plan, and (B) any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Company Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee's participation in the corresponding Parent Benefit Plan begins to be taken into account under such Parent Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying corresponding deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Parent Benefit Plan. This Section 6.18 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.18, express or implied, shall confer upon any employee, service provider, or any legal representative or beneficiary thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or engagement or continued employment or engagement for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 6.18, express or implied, shall be deemed an amendment of any plan providing benefits to any employee or service provider or shall confer upon any Continuing Employee or any other employee (current or former), service provider, or any legal representative or beneficiary or dependent thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or engagement or continued employment or engagement for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement or preclude the ability of Parent to terminate the employment or service of any person at any time and for any reason.

Section 7.3.             Transfer Taxes. Any transfer, value added, excise, stock transfer, stamp, recording, registration, deed taxes, conveyance fees and any similar Taxes that become payable as a result of the Mergers ("Transfer Taxes"), shall be paid 100% by the Surviving Entity.

Upon any determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 11.8.          Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article X, that the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, including the right of a party to cause each other party to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby, in any court referred to in Section 11.2, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or any of its equityholders be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement directly against any Financing Source, solely in their respective capacities as lenders or arrangers in connection with the Financing. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.

Section 11.9.          Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, and the Exclusivity Agreement, the Transaction Documents set forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto and supersede all other agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between or among the parties to this Agreement relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 11.10.      Waiver. No failure on the part of a party hereto to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of such party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, will operate as a waiver thereof; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement and any consent given hereunder must be in writing signed by the party sought to be bound. The waiver by any party of breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement will not operate as, or be construed to constitute, a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of the same or any other provision hereof.

Section 11.11.      Amendments. At any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented in any and all respects, whether before or after receipt of the Required Stockholder Vote, by written agreement signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that, following the receipt of the Required Stockholder Vote, there shall be no amendment or supplement to the provisions of this Agreement which by Legal Requirement would require further approval by the holders of Company Stock without such approval, and there shall be no amendment or supplement to the provisions of this Agreement which by Legal Requirement would require further approval by the holders of Parent Common Shares without such approval. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered or supplemented except by means of a written instrument executed on behalf of each party hereto. Any waiver of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and must be duly executed by or on behalf of the party to be charged with such waiver. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the failure of a party to exercise any of its rights hereunder or to insist upon strict adherence to any term or condition hereof on any one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to the terms and conditions of this Agreement at a later date. Further, no waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other term of condition hereof (whether or not similar). No amendment or waiver of Section 10.3(b), Section 11.2(c), Section 11.2(d), Section 11.5, Section 11.8 and this Section 11.11 shall be effective to the extent such amendment is adverse to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.

Section 11.12.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts (including by means of facsimile or email in .pdf format), each of which will constitute an original and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties to this Agreement and delivered to the other parties.

(b)                By virtue of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and approval of the Mergers or by signing the Stockholder Written Consent or the Letter of Transmittal and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Mergers, each Securityholder grants unto said attorneys-in-fact and agents full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the specific and limited matters described above, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Securityholder Representative may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Each Securityholder further acknowledges and agrees that, upon execution of this Agreement, with respect to any delivery by the Securityholder Representative of any documents executed by the Securityholder Representative pursuant to this Section 11.15, such Securityholder shall be bound by such documents as fully as if such Securityholder had executed and delivered such documents.

The parties acknowledge that the Securityholder Representative obligations under this Section 11.15 are solely as a representative of the Securityholders as set forth in this Agreement.

(c)                The Securityholder Representative shall be entitled to (i) receive reimbursement from the Securityholders for all expenses and charges incurred by the Securityholder Representative in connection with the performance of their duties and the fulfillment of their obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) be indemnified by the Securityholders. In connection with this Agreement, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Securityholder Representative hereunder, (A) the Securityholder Representative shall incur no responsibility whatsoever to any Securityholders by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder, excepting only responsibility for any act or failure to act which is finally judicially determined to constitute willful misconduct, and (B) the Securityholder Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Securityholder Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Securityholder Representative to liability to any Securityholders. Each Securityholder shall indemnify, severally and not jointly, based on such Securityholders' Allocable Percentage, the Securityholder Representative against all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys', accountants' and other experts' fees and the amount of any judgment against them, of any nature whatsoever (including any and all expense whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened or any claims whatsoever) ("Representative Losses"), arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, 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 caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative, the Securityholder Representative will reimburse the Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. Representative Losses may be recovered by the Securityholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Securityholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Securityholders; provided that while the Securityholder Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Securityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Securityholders 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 Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Securityholder Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(d)                All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Securityholder Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement.

(e)                The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Securityholder and (ii) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any action taken by the Securityholder Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Agreement shall be effective and absolutely binding on each Securityholder notwithstanding any contrary action of or direction from such Securityholder and no Securityholder shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same, except for actions or omissions of the Securityholder Representative constituting willful misconduct.

(f)                 At a time determined by the Securityholder Representative in its sole discretion, the Securityholder Representative shall distribute to the Paying Agent (or if the Paying Agent is no longer engaged, the Surviving Entity) or in the case of payments to holders of Company Options the Surviving Entity, for further distribution to the applicable Securityholders in accordance with their respective Allocable Percentage, any portion of the Expense Fund that is unused less any reserve that the Securityholder Representative, in good faith, reasonably determines is necessary for any out of pocket costs that the Securityholder Representative may reasonably expect to arise.

(g)                Upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Surviving Entity, the Securityholder Representative, shall have the right to resign its position as Securityholder Representative at its sole discretion for any reason. If the Securityholder Representative resigns or ceases to function in its capacity as Securityholder Representative for any reason whatsoever (including death or disability), then the Stockholders with an aggregate Allocable Percentage of greater than 50.0% shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, elect a new Securityholder Representative and shall have sent notice and a copy of the duly executed written consent appointing such new Securityholder Representative to Parent, and the Paying Agent and provided evidence that such alternative replacement Securityholder Representative has accepted such appointment.

(h)                Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Securityholder Representative is a party to this Agreement solely to perform certain administrative functions in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, each of Parent and the Merger Subs acknowledges and agrees that the Securityholder Representative shall have no liability to, and shall not be liable for any losses of, any of Parent or the Merger Subs in connection with any obligations of the Securityholder Representative under this Agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except (i) to the extent such losses shall be proven to be the direct result of willful misconduct by the Securityholder Representative in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder, and (ii) with respect to willful breaches of Section 11.15(c).

Section 11.16.      Conflicts of Interest; Privilege.

(a)                Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, shareholders, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that Parent shall not seek or have the Company Group Law Firm disqualified from any conflict of interest based solely upon the representation of the Company by Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP (or any successor) (the "Company Group Law Firm") prior to Closing. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising solely from such prior representations, and each of such parties shall cause any of its Affiliates to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising solely from such representations. Each of the parties acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection herewith. The covenants, consent and waiver contained in this Section 11.16 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Company Group Law Firm is entitled whether pursuant to law, contract or otherwise.

(b)                All communications between the Company Group, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Company Group Law Firm, on the other hand, directly relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Company Privileged Communications") shall be deemed to be attorney-client privileged and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Company Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent. Immediately prior to the Closing, without need for further action, all right, title and interest of the Company in and to any Company Privileged Communications, whether in the possession of the Company or the Company Group Law Firm, shall transfer to and be vested solely in the Company Group. Parent shall not have access to any Company Privileged Communications or to the files of the Company Group Law Firm relating to such engagement from and after Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (i) the Company Group (and not Parent) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and Parent shall not be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of the Company Group Law Firm in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the Company Group (and not Parent) shall hold such property rights and (iii) the Company Group Law Firm shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to Parent by reason of any attorney-client relationship between the Company Group Law Firm and the Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party other than any of the Company Group, on the other hand, Parent and its Affiliates may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications to such third party; provided, however, that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Company Group, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that Parent or any of its Affiliates is legally required by order of a Governmental Authority or otherwise legally required to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Company Privileged Communications, to the extent (x) permitted by applicable Law, and (y) advisable in the opinion of Parent's counsel, then Parent shall immediately notify the Company Group Law Firm so that it can seek a protective order on behalf of the Company Group.

(c)                If the Securityholder Representative or the Securityholders so desire, and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent, the Company Group Law Firm shall be permitted to represent the Securityholder Representative or one or more Securityholders after the Closing in connection with any matter, including any matter related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any other agreements referenced herein or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, the Company Group Law Firm shall be permitted to represent the Securityholder Representative or the Securityholders, any of their respective agents and Affiliates, or any one or more of them, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (including any litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceeding) with Parent, the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective agents or Affiliates under or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any related matter, such as claims or disputes arising under other agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement, including with respect to any indemnification claims. Upon and after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with the Company Group Law Firm, unless and to the extent the Company Group Law Firm is specifically engaged in writing by the Company to represent it after the Closing and either such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to any Securityholder or the Securityholders consent in writing at the time to such engagement. Any such representation of the Company by the Company Group Law Firm after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.

(d)                This Section 11.16 is intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Company Group Law Firm. This Section 11.16 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 11.16 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of the Company Group Law Firm, as applicable.

Section 11.17.      No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith (other than any letter of transmittal), by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement:

(a)                Parent, Merger Sub and Merger Sub LLC each covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no persons other than the Company have any liabilities, obligations, or commitments (whether known or unknown or whether contingent or otherwise) hereunder, and that, notwithstanding that a Securityholder and its Affiliates or its respective managing members or general partners may be partnership or limited liability companies, none of Parent or either Merger Sub has any right of recovery under this Agreement, or any claim based on such liabilities, obligations, commitments against, and no personal liability shall attach to, any Non-Recourse Party of the Company, through the Company or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the Company against any Non-Recourse Party of the Company, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or Legal requirement, or otherwise; and

(b)                the Company covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no persons other than Parent and the Merger Subs have any liabilities, obligations or commitments (whether known or unknown or whether contingent or otherwise) hereunder, and that the Company does not have any right of recovery under this Agreement, or any claim based on such liabilities, obligations, commitments against, and no personal liability shall attach to, any Non-Recourse Party of Parent or the Merger Subs, through Parent or the Merger Subs or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of Parent or the Merger Subs against any Non-Recourse Party of Parent or the Merger Subs, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or Legal Requirement, or otherwise.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
GOVERNANCE MATTERS

1.1              Board Composition; Representation.

(a)              As of the effective time of the Merger, the Company shall take any and all necessary action to increase the number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") from five (5) to seven (7), and to cause the Board to be comprised of a total of seven (7) authorized directorships. As of the effective time of the Merger, (A) [ ] will resign from the Board^[2] and (B) the Company will cause to be appointed to the Board in the vacancies created by the Board (1) the Shareholder Representative designated by Jermyn Street Associates LLC (“Jermyn”) not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the effective time of the Merger (who is named on Exhibit A) and the Shareholder Representative designated by Savanna Holdings LLC (“Savanna”) not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the effective time of the Merger (who is named on Exhibit A) and (2) the Approved Director, with the result that, as of the effective time of the Merger, the Board shall be comprised of: (i) the Shareholder Representatives so designated; (ii) the Approved Director and (iii) the four (4) other directors to be continued on the Board, as listed in Exhibit A. The members of the Board at the Effective Time shall be members of the Board Classes, (x) in the case of the Shareholder Representatives and the Approved Director, determined by the Company, Jermyn and Savanna and set forth on Exhibit A, and (y) in the case of directors to be continued on the Board, as set forth in Exhibit A.

¹ Shareholders shall include Jermyn, Savanna, Leone, Harlan and each other shareholder who holds 2% or more of the Common Shares after giving effect to the transaction.

² It is expected that one of the Company's current independent directors will resign at closing.

(b)           From and after the effective time of the Merger, the manner for selecting the Company's nominees for election to the Board will be as follows:

(i)                 In connection with each annual meeting of shareholders of the Company at which the term of the Shareholder Representative designated by a Nominating Holder pursuant to Section 1.1(a) or any successor Shareholder Representative designated by such Nominating Holder pursuant to this Section 1.1(b) expires and at any special meeting at which one of the matters to be considered is the election of a director to fill the seat of such Shareholder Representative or successor (each such annual or special meeting, an "Election Meeting"), for so long as a Shareholder's Percentage Interest is greater than or equal to five percent (5%) on the date of such designation and on the record date for such Election Meeting, such Shareholder shall have the right to designate for nomination one (1) Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, at any time a Shareholder's Percentage Interest is less than five percent (5%), such Shareholder shall have no right to designate a Shareholder Representative for nomination pursuant to this Agreement. All nominees for director other than those designated by the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 1.1(b) shall be nominated by the Company's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Governance Committee"); provided that, for each Election Meeting prior to the Board Designation Expiration Date at which the Approved Director's term expires, the Shareholders shall have the right to approve the person nominated to fill the Approved Director's seat on the Board (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(ii)               Each Shareholder having the right to designate a Shareholder Representative (a "Nominating Holder") shall give written notice to the Governance Committee, identifying its Shareholder Representative within a reasonable amount of time prior to the date on which the proxy statement relating to each Election Meeting at which its incumbent Shareholder Representative's term is to expire (and in any event at least 60 days prior to the later of (i) a date provided by the Company as the expected date on which a proxy statement for such Election Meeting is expected to be filed and (ii) the first anniversary of the mailing date of the proxy statement for the annual meeting of the Company's shareholders for the prior year); provided, that if a Nominating Holder fails to give such notice in a timely manner, such Nominating Holder shall be deemed to have nominated the incumbent Shareholder Representative previously designated by it in a timely manner. Following provision of such notice, the Nominating Holder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or cause such individual to provide, to the Company such information about such individuals at such times as the Company may reasonably request in order to ensure compliance with the listing rules of Nasdaq and the rules and regulations of the SEC to the same extent as requested from the other director nominees of the Company in connection with the applicable Election Meeting (the "Required Information"); provided, that if the Nominating Holder fails to provide or cause to be provided the Required Information in a timely manner, the Nominating Holder shall be deemed to have nominated the incumbent Shareholder Representative previously designated by it in a timely manner. If the Company reasonably determines that the nomination or election of an individual identified by a Nominating Holder would violate the listing rules of Nasdaq or the rules and regulations of the SEC, it shall promptly notify the applicable Nominating Holder and such Nominating Holder may identify a replacement for such individual. Any nomination procedures set forth in the Company Organizational Documents shall not apply to the nomination of the Shareholder Representatives; provided, that the Shareholders shall only designate an individual to be an Shareholder Representative who is (x) not prohibited from or disqualified from serving as a director of the Company pursuant to the listing rules of Nasdaq or the rules and regulations of the SEC, and (y) not engaged, directly or indirectly, in any Competitive Enterprise.

(iii)            The Company shall give written notice to each Shareholder, identifying its proposed nominee to be elected as the Approved Director within a reasonable amount of time prior to the date on which the proxy statement relating to each Election Meeting at which the incumbent Approved Director's term is to expire (and in any event at least 60 days prior to the expected date on which a proxy statement for such Election Meeting is expected to be filed); provided, that if the Company fails to give such notice in a timely manner, the Governance Committee shall be deemed to have nominated the incumbent Approved Director. Promptly (and in any event no more than 15 days) following provision of such notice, the Shareholders shall inform the Company in writing of their approval or disapproval of such nominee. If the Shareholders approve the nominee proposed by the Governance Committee, such person shall be the nominee for the Approved Director seat and the Company shall have the same obligations with respect to the election of such person as are set forth in Section 1.1(c) for Shareholder Representatives. If the Shareholders do not approve the nominee proposed by the Company (which failure or refusal to approve must be reasonable), the Governance Committee shall identify to the Shareholders one or more alternative nominees for election as the Approved Director. If the Shareholders do not approve a nominee for election as the Approved Director prior to the date that is fifteen (15) days prior to the expected mailing date of the proxy statement for the Election Meeting, then, unless the incumbent Approved Director is able and willing to continue to serve as a director, the Board shall take such action as shall be necessary to reduce the size of the Board by one member until such time as the Governance Committee identifies, and the Shareholders approve, an alternative nominee, whereupon the Board shall take such action as is necessary to expand the size of the Board by one person and to elect such alternative nominee as the Approved Director.

(c)            From and after the effective time of the Merger until the Board Designation Expiration Date, the Company shall take all actions necessary (to the extent such actions are permitted by Law) to cause the Board to include the Shareholder Representative(s) entitled to be designated by the Shareholders pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and otherwise to reflect the Board composition contemplated by Section 1.1, including the following: (i) at each Election Meeting at which a Shareholder Representative's term expires, include for election to the Board the Shareholder Representative entitled to be designated by the Nominating Holder who designated the Shareholder Representative whose term is expiring pursuant to Section 1.1(b) as part of the Company's slate of nominees for election as directors, (ii) solicit proxies in order to obtain shareholder approval of the election of such Shareholder Representative, including causing officers of the Company who hold proxies (unless otherwise directed by the Company shareholder submitting such proxy) to vote such proxies in favor of the election of such Shareholder Representative, (iii) recommend that the Company's shareholders vote in favor of such Shareholder Representative in any proxy statement used by the Company to solicit the vote of its shareholders in connection with each Election Meeting and (iv) use and/or provide the same level of effort and same level of support as is used and/or provided for the other director nominees of the Company in connection with each Election Meeting.

(d)            If at any time a Nominating Holder is no longer entitled to designate a Shareholder Representative to serve on the Board under this Section 1.1, then, the Shareholder Representative designated by such Nominating Holder shall serve the remainder of his or her term on the Board, and the Company shall have no obligation to nominate such Shareholder Representative for another Board term.

1.2              Vacancies.

(a)             Subject to Sections 1.1 and 1.4, in the event of any vacancy on the Board occurring due to the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office as a member of the Board of a Shareholder Representative, the Board shall take all action (to the extent permitted by Law) required to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom with such replacement designated by the Nominating Holder who designated the departing Shareholder Representative as promptly as practicable.

(b)             In the event of any vacancy on the Board occurring due to the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office as a member of the Board of any director of the Company other than the Shareholder Representatives, the Board shall take all action (to the extent permitted by Law) required to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom with such replacement selected by the Governance Committee as promptly as practicable; provided that the filling of any vacancy caused by the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office as a member of the Board of the Approved Director shall be subject to the procedures set forth in Section 1.1(b)(iii).

1.3             Selection of Shareholder Representatives. For purposes of this Agreement, "Shareholder Representative" means any person designated by a Nominating Holder to be elected or appointed to the Board in accordance with this Agreement, or his or her replacement designated in accordance with Section 1.2, provided, that such person's service as a director must not be prohibited by Law. Until the Board Designation Expiration Date, the Company shall cause each committee of the Board to include one Shareholder Representative, subject in each case to meeting the applicable requirements for service on such committee as set forth in the listing rules of Nasdaq, the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company's historical corporate governance guidelines applicable to all of the members of such committee and such committee's charter.

1.4              Compensation; Expense Reimbursement; Indemnification. Each Shareholder Representative shall be entitled to the same expense reimbursement and advancement, exculpation, indemnification and insurance in connection with his or her role as a director as the other members of the Board (which shall be primary over any other indemnification or insurance available to such Shareholder Representative), as well as reimbursement for documented, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board or any committee of the Board of which such Shareholder Representative is a member, if any, in each case to the same extent as the other members of the Board. Each Shareholder Representative shall be also entitled to any retainer, equity compensation or other fees or compensation paid to the non-employee directors of the Company for their services as a director, including any service on any committee of the Board. For so long as either Shareholder is entitled to designate a Shareholder Representative, the Company shall not amend, alter, repeal or waive (a) any right to indemnification or exculpation covering or benefiting any Shareholder Representative nominated pursuant to this Agreement (whether such right is contained in the Company Organizational Documents or another document) or (b) any provision of the Company Organizational Documents, if such amendment, alteration, repeal or waiver adversely affects the rights or obligations of the Shareholders or the Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance covering each Shareholder Representative to the maximum extent of the coverage available to the most favorably insured of the other directors serving on the Board.

1.5              Election. A Shareholder may elect upon written notice to the Company to irrevocably terminate any or all of their rights under this Article I at any time.

ARTICLE II
RESTRICTED ACTIVITIES; VOTING

2.1              Transfer Restrictions.

(a)               Prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective time of the Merger (such period, the "Restricted Period"), without the consent of the Company, no Shareholder shall Transfer any Common Shares acquired by it in the Merger (such shares, the "Transaction Shares"), except for Transfers (A) in connection with any merger or other consolidation or reorganization, tender or exchange offer, or any other similar transaction generally available to all holders of outstanding Common Shares or any transaction that has received Board Approval, (B) to an Affiliate of the Transferring Shareholder (provided that such Affiliate remains an Affiliate of the Transferring Shareholder throughout the Restricted Period) or to a Permitted Transferee, (C) by means of distributions to the partners, employees or members of such Shareholder; (D) (x) as a bona fide gift or gifts or (y) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Transferring Shareholder or the immediate family thereof (which shall be any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin of the Transferee), (E) to any other Shareholder, (F) in connection with any bona fide mortgage, encumbrance or pledge to a financial institution in connection with any bona fide loan or debt transaction or enforcement thereunder, including foreclosure thereof, (G) pursuant to an order or decree of a Governmental Authority, or (H) to a nominee or custodian of a Person to whom a Transfer is permitted pursuant to any of the foregoing clauses; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (B), (C) and (D), (x) a direct Transfer shall only be permissible if the applicable Shareholder and the Transferee enter into a written agreement pursuant to which the Transferee agrees, effective as of the consummation of such Transfer, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were a Shareholder (it being understood that such agreement shall not affect the Shareholders' obligations and liabilities under this Agreement), (y) any such Transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and (z) any Transaction Shares so Transferred shall continue to be deemed to be owned by the Shareholders for purposes of any calculation of such Shareholder's Percentage Interest.

(b)               Until the Sunset Date, without Board Approval and except for Transfers in connection with a transaction that has received Board Approval, no Shareholder shall (x) Transfer any Common Shares to any Person or Group who, to the Transferring Shareholder's knowledge, is a Company Competitor or (y) Transfer any Common Shares to any Person or Group (other than the Shareholders and their Permitted Transferees) who, after giving effect to such Transfer and to the Transferring Shareholder's knowledge, would own 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this paragraph (b) shall not apply to any Transfer effected under a registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement (other than an offer or sale not involving a broker, placement agent or similar intermediary and that is intended to circumvent the foregoing prohibitions), any Transfer in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (including the manner of sale requirements thereof), or any Transfer to the Company or any Permitted Transferee. For the purposes of determining "knowledge", (i) in the case of clause (x), the Transferring Shareholder shall have no obligation to make an inquiry or investigation and in no event shall the knowledge of any broker used by the Transferring Shareholder be imputed to such party (provided that the Transferring Shareholder shall have made such broker aware of the provisions of this Section 2.1), and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Transferring Shareholder shall have no obligation to make an inquiry or investigation and shall only be required to review filings made by the prospective purchaser on the SEC's EDGAR system in order to determine whether or not such purchaser owns 10% or more of the outstanding Common Shares.

2.2              Restricted Activities.

(a)               Subject to Section 2.2(b), prior to the Sunset Date, each Shareholder agrees that it shall not and none of its respective Controlled Affiliates acting on its behalf shall, directly or indirectly, without the Board's prior written consent, take any of the following actions:

(i)                 make any public announcement, proposal or offer (including any "solicitation" of "proxies" as such terms are defined or used in Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act) with respect to, or otherwise solicit, seek or offer to effect (including, for the avoidance of doubt, indirectly by means of communication with the press or media) any of the following: (1) any acquisition of Voting Securities in violation of Section 2.2(a)(iv), (2) any restructuring, recapitalization, liquidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (3) so long as the Company is in compliance with its obligations under Article I of this Agreement, the election of the directors of the Company other than the Shareholder Representatives or the removal of any directors of the Company other than the Shareholder Representatives, or publicly becoming a "participant" in a "solicitation" (as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act) with respect to the election of directors of the Company other than the Shareholder Representatives or the removal of any directors of the Company other than the Shareholder Representatives, or (4) any acquisition of any of the Company's loans, debt securities, equity or equity-linked securities or assets, or rights or options to acquire interests in any of the Company's loans, debt securities, equity or equity-linked securities or assets if, in each case of this clause (4), solely as a result of such acquisition (and, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the effects of any other circumstances relating to such acquisition) the Shareholders would be required to file a Schedule 13D or an amendment thereof pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Exchange Act because such acquisition constitutes a material increase in the percentage of a class of Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by a Shareholder or their Reporting Affiliates reporting together as a Group on Schedule 13D that is required to be reported on the cover page of Schedule 13D; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.2(a)(i) shall prohibit a Shareholder from privately communicating any such statement or proposal to the directors or Chief Executive Officer of the Company so long as such private communications do not, and would not reasonably be expected to, trigger public disclosure obligations of or for any Person (including, without limitation, the filing of a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G or any amendment thereof), it being acknowledged and agreed that such private communications regarding any of the foregoing matters shall not in any event be restricted by this Section 2.2(a)(i);

(ii)               publicly seek a change in the composition or size of the Board, except in furtherance of the provisions of this Agreement;

(iii)             deposit any Voting Security (other than in connection with Transfers to Affiliates) into a voting trust or subject any Voting Security to any proxy arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such securities or other agreement having a similar effect, in any such case, which conflicts with such Shareholder's obligations in Section 2.3;

(iv)              acquire any Voting Security or Beneficial Ownership of any Voting Securities that would result in the Shareholder and its Reporting Affiliates Beneficially Owning Voting Securities in excess of the amount of Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder and its Reporting Affiliates as of immediately following the effective time of the Merger;

(v)               call for, or initiate, propose or requisition a call for, any general or special meeting of the Company's shareholders in furtherance of the actions described in Section 2.2(a)(i);

(vi)              publicly disclose any intention, plan or arrangement to either (1) obtain any waiver or consent under, or any amendment of, any provision of this Section 2.2 or (2) take any action challenging the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Section 2.2; or

(vii)              intentionally and knowingly instigate, facilitate, encourage, or assist any third party to do any of the foregoing.

(b)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.2, nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit, restrict or impair, directly or indirectly, (1) the activities of any director of the Company, so long as such activities are undertaken solely in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, (2) the activities of any Shareholder and/or its Affiliates in the capacity as a lender of the Company or the holder of any interests received in exchange for or in respect of indebtedness of the Company (including exercising, protecting, preserving or enforcing any rights, interests or remedies and/or taking any other actions, in each case in such capacity) or in any other capacity other than as a shareholder of the Company, or (3) any Shareholder's or any of its Affiliates' ability to:

(i)                 acquire Common Shares pursuant to the exercise and/or conversion of any warrants, options and other exercisable and/or convertible Capital Stock of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

(ii)                acquire Common Shares by way of stock splits or stock dividends paid by the Company;

(iii)              acquire Common Shares from its Affiliates;

(iv)              acquire Common Shares in transactions with or approved by the Company;

(v)               propose, commit to, participate in and/or make a loan or other debt financing to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(vi)             propose, commit to, participate in and/or provide debt financing to a prospective buyer regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries or assets in a negotiated transaction with the Company (excluding any unsolicited offer made to the Company, other than in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding), or finance a third party's effort to make a loan or other debt financing to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in a negotiated transaction (excluding any unsolicited offer made to the Company, other than in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(vii)          participate in any auction or sale process approved, conducted or initiated by the Company pursuant to which the Company proposes to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the businesses or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(viii)        submit a proposal to the Board relating to the acquisition of all or a majority of the equity of the Company or all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries if the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with respect to the sale of all or a majority of the equity of the Company (including by merger) or all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

(ix)             purchase debt, debt securities or loans of the Company or its subsidiaries in open market or secondary market transactions that, in each case, are not convertible into Voting Securities at the election of the holder thereof;

(x)               make any public announcement or statement in response to any public announcement, proposal, offer or solicitation made by any other Person;

(xi)             vote or cause to be voted any Voting Securities in any manner determined by such Shareholder in its sole discretion; provided that this Section 2.2(b)(xi) shall not be deemed to limit the Shareholders' obligations under Section 2.3; or

(xii)           Transfer any Capital Stock of the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided that this Section 2.2(b)(xii) shall not be deemed to limit the Shareholders' obligations under Section 2.1.

(c)               Each Shareholder further agrees that neither it, nor any of its Controlled Affiliates acting on its behalf shall, without the prior written consent of the Company, publicly request the Company to amend or waive any provision of this Section 2.2 (including this sentence) or do so in a manner that would require the Company to publicly disclose such request.

(d)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.2 shall not apply in respect of any Common Shares (or other Capital Stock) issued as compensation for any Shareholder Representative serving as a director of the Company or the transfer thereof to any Affiliate of a Shareholder.

For purposes of this Section 2.2, (x) the term "Voting Securities" shall be deemed to include any security of the company that is convertible into a Voting Security at any time and (y) the terms "debt" and "indebtedness" shall be deemed to include, institutional debt (bank or otherwise), commercial paper, notes, debentures, bonds, other evidences of indebtedness, and debt securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.2 shall not limit any Shareholder or any of its Affiliates from providing any debt or equity financing in the context of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

2.3              Voting. From and after the date of this Agreement, until the Sunset Date, each Shareholder agrees (i) to cause Voting Securities held by such Shareholder or over which such Shareholder or any of its Subsidiaries otherwise has voting discretion or control to be present at any Election Meeting either in person or by proxy, (ii) to vote all Voting Securities held by such Shareholder or any of its Subsidiaries or over which such Shareholder or any of its Subsidiaries otherwise has voting discretion or control (A) either (at the election of such Shareholder) (1) as recommended by the Board or (2) in the same proportion as the votes cast by other holders of Voting Securities, (x) with respect to director nominees nominated by the Governance Committee (including any directors nominated to the Board pursuant to Section 1.2, but excluding the Shareholder Representatives nominated to the Board pursuant to Section 1.1), and (y) with respect to any other nominees (excluding the Shareholder Representatives nominated to the Board pursuant to Section 1.1), and (B) in favor of the Shareholder Representatives nominated to the Board pursuant to Section 1.1, and (iii) to not vote any Voting Securities held by such Shareholder in favor of any Change of Control Transaction submitted to the Company's shareholders for approval or adoption that is not recommended by the Board and pursuant to which the per-share consideration to be received by the Shareholders in respect of their Common Shares in such Change of Control Transaction is different in amount or form from the per-share consideration to be received by holders of Common Shares other than the Shareholders in respect of their Common Shares in such Change of Control Transaction (except to the extent that such consideration consists solely of cash and the per-share cash consideration to be received by the Shareholders is less than the per-share cash consideration to be received by such other holders), disregarding any right to select cash and/or securities as consideration in such Change of Control Transaction that is offered generally to holders of Common Shares in such Change of Control Transaction, unless such Change of Control Transaction is approved by the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.3 shall (i) require a Shareholder to vote any Voting Securities or cause any such Voting Securities to be voted in accordance with the Board's recommendation or in proportion to the votes cast by other holders of Voting Securities with respect to any other matter requiring shareholder approval under Law that is not expressly addressed above or (ii) limit a Shareholder's right to vote any Voting Securities or cause any such Voting Securities to be voted in favor of the election of any Shareholder Representative, whether or not nominated to the Board.

ARTICLE III
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

3.1              Registration.

(a)               The Company shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 or any successor form thereto (a "Long-Form Registration"), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission, no later than 180 days after the effective time of the Merger. Such Long Form Registration shall cause to be registered under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities. In the event that such Long Form Registration fails to register any portion of the Registrable Securities, Shareholders owning Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all of their Registrable Securities pursuant to another Long Form Registration. Each request for a Long-Form Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Long-Form Registration. Upon receipt of any such request, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 10 days following receipt thereof) deliver notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities who shall then have 10 days from the date such notice is given to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included in such registration. The Company shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 or any successor form thereto covering all of the Registrable Securities that the holders thereof have requested to be included in such Long-Form Registration within 60 days after the date on which the initial request is given and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company shall not be required to effect a Long-Form Registration more than two times for the holders of Registrable Securities as a group; provided, that a registration statement shall not count as a Long-Form Registration requested under this Section 3.1(a) unless and until it has become effective and the holders requesting such registration are able to register and sell at least 50% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration.

(b)               After the effective time of the Merger, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify and remain qualified to register the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto. At such time as the Company shall have qualified for the use of a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto, the holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to request an unlimited number of registrations under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement (each, a "Short-Form Registration" and, together with each Long-Form Registration, a "Registration"). Each request for a Short-Form Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Short-Form Registration. Upon receipt of any such request, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 10 days following receipt thereof) deliver notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities who shall then have 10 days from the date such notice is given to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included in such registration. The Company shall prepare and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto covering all of the Registrable Securities that the holders thereof have requested to be included in such Short-Form Registration within 30 days after the date on which the initial request is given and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter.

(c)               The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Long-Form Registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous Long-Form Registration. The Company may postpone for up to 90 days the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a Registration if the Board determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such Registration would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate organization, financing, securities offering or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act; provided, that in such event the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initiating such Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request for a Registration is withdrawn, such Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Registrations hereunder and the Company shall pay all registration expenses in connection with such registration. The Company may delay a Registration hereunder only twice in any period of 12 consecutive months.

(d)               If the holders of the Registrable Securities initially requesting a Registration elect to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request in an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.1(b) and the Company shall include such information in its notice to the other holders of Registrable Securities. The holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting the Registration shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering; provided, that such selection shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e)               The Company shall not include in any Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If a Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter of the requested Registration advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in the Registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other Common Shares proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of Common Shares which can be sold in such underwritten offering and/or the number of Common Shares proposed to be included in such Registration would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Shares proposed to be sold in such underwritten offering, the Company shall include in such Registration (i) first, the Common Shares that the holders of Registrable Securities propose to sell, and (ii) second, the Common Shares proposed to be included therein by any other Persons (including Common Shares to be sold for the account of the Company and/or other holders of Common Shares) allocated among such Persons in such manner as they may agree. If the managing underwriter determines that less than all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder.

3.2              Registration Procedures. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Article III that the Shareholders requesting a Registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding them, the Registrable Securities held by them, the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities, and such agreements regarding indemnification, disposition of such securities and other matters referred to in this Article III as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company. With respect to any Registration which includes Registrable Securities held by a Shareholder, the Company will, subject to Section 3.1 and considerations of confidentiality, promptly:

(a)               Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on the appropriate form prescribed by the SEC and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to maintain such registration effective for a period longer than the Effectiveness Period;

(b)               Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to such registration statement and any documents required to be incorporated by reference therein as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective for a period of not less than the Effectiveness Period (but not prior to the expiration of the time period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable); cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to the prospectus;

(c)               Furnish to such Shareholder, without charge, such number of conformed copies of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, as such Shareholder may reasonably request, and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto, and any documents incorporated by reference therein as the Shareholder or underwriter or underwriters, if any, may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the securities being sold by the Shareholder (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by the Shareholder covered by the registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the securities covered by the prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto);

(d)               Notify such Shareholder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the SEC and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the investors of such securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(e)               In the case of an underwritten offering, enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and make members of senior management of the Company available on a basis reasonably requested by the underwriters to participate in "road show" and other customary marketing activities (including one-on-one meetings with prospective purchasers of the Registrable Securities) and cause to be delivered to the underwriters reasonable opinions of counsel to the Company in customary form, covering such matters as are customarily covered by opinions for an underwritten public offering as the underwriters may reasonably request and addressed to the underwriters;

(f)                Make available, for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent that are necessary to be reviewed by such person in connection with the preparation of such registration statement;

(g)               If requested, cause to be delivered, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement (and, in the case of an underwritten offering, at the time of delivery of any Registrable Securities sold pursuant thereto), letters from the Company's independent certified public accountants addressed to each selling Shareholder (unless such selling Shareholder does not provide to such accountants the appropriate representation letter required by rules governing the accounting profession) and each underwriter, if any, stating that such accountants are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and otherwise in customary form and covering such financial and accounting matters as are customarily covered by letters of the independent certified public accountants delivered in connection with primary or secondary underwritten public offerings, as the case may be;

(h)               Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the registration statement;

(i)                 Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all securities included in such registration statement to be listed, by the date of the first sale of securities pursuant to such registration statement, on any national securities exchange, quotation system or other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or proposed to be listed by the Company, if any;

(j)                 Make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement, which need not be audited, satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the twelve (12)-month period beginning with the first month of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the registration statement, which statement shall cover said twelve (12)-month period;

(k)               After the filing of a registration statement, (i) promptly notify each Shareholder holding Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of any stop order issued or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened by the SEC and of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction and (ii) take all reasonable actions to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the qualification of any Registrable Securities at the earliest possible moment;

(l)                 Subject to the time limitations specified in paragraph (b) above, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters or such Shareholder, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters or the Shareholder reasonably requests to be included therein, including, without limitation, with respect to the number of shares being sold by the Shareholder to such underwriter or underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or underwriters and with respect to any term of the underwritten offering of the securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(m)             As promptly as practicable after filing with the SEC of any document which is incorporated by reference into a registration statement, deliver a copy of such document to such Shareholder;

(n)               On or prior to the date on which the registration statement is declared effective, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with such Shareholder, the underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of, the securities covered by the registration statement for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as the Shareholder or managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, requests in writing, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective, including through new filings, or amendments or renewals, during the Effectiveness Period do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in all such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable registration statement; provided that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

(o)               Cooperate with such Shareholder and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, may request;

(p)               Cooperate with such Shareholder if it owns options, warrants or other convertible securities to provide for the exercise of such rights in connection with the offering; and

(q)               Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the securities covered by the registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies, authorities or self-regulatory bodies within the United States as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

3.4              Indemnification.

(a)               Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Shareholder, its officers, directors, Affiliates and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) the Shareholder, including, without limitation any general partner or manager of any thereof, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in which such Shareholder participates in an offering of Registrable Securities or in any document incorporated by reference therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are made in reliance on and in conformity with any information with respect to such Shareholder furnished in writing to the Company by such Shareholder expressly for use therein; provided that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Shareholder from whom the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the securities if it is determined that such loss, claim, damage or liability was caused by such Shareholder's failure to deliver to such Shareholder's immediate purchaser a current copy of the prospectus (if the current copy of the prospectus was required by applicable law to be so delivered) after the Company has furnished such Shareholder with a sufficient number of copies of such prospectus. The Company will also indemnify underwriters (as such term is defined in the Securities Act), their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Shareholders.

(b)               Indemnification by the Shareholders. In connection with any registration statement in which a Shareholder is participating, each such Shareholder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits with respect to such Shareholder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any registration statement or prospectus covering the Registrable Securities of such Shareholder and, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) the Company, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the registration statement or prospectus or preliminary prospectus (in the case of the prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in reliance on and in conformity with the information or affidavit with respect to such Shareholder so furnished in writing by such Shareholder expressly for use in the registration statement or prospectus; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Shareholders and the liability of each such Shareholder shall be in proportion to and limited to the net amount received by such Shareholder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.4 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of such seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities hereby acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by such holders, the only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or in any amendment, supplement or preliminary materials associated therewith are statements specifically relating to (a) transactions or the relationship between such holder and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, (b) the beneficial ownership of Common Shares by such holder and its Affiliates, (c) the name and address of such holder and (d) any additional information about such holder or the plan of distribution (other than for an underwritten offering) required by law or regulation to be disclosed in any such document.

(c)               Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability hereunder with respect to the action, except to the extent that such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice; provided that any such failure shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to any other party. No indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of such indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are in addition to or may conflict with those available to any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels; provided that such number of additional counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party.

(d)               Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.4 is unavailable to an indemnified party as contemplated by the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.4, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In no event shall the liability of any selling Shareholder be greater in amount than the amount of net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discount and expenses) received by such Shareholder upon such sale or the amount for which such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.4 had been available.

3.5              Exchange Act Reports. The Company agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it pursuant to the Exchange Act to the extent the Company is required to file such reports. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may de-register any class of its equity securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or suspend its duty to file reports with respect to any class of its securities pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if it is then permitted to do so pursuant to the Exchange Act and rules and regulations thereunder.

If requested by such managing underwriter, each holder of Registrable Securities agrees to execute a holdback agreement, in customary form, consistent with the terms of this Section 3.6(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Shareholder will be restricted from selling any Registrable Securities if such Shareholder was not able to sell all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement or such Shareholder and its Permitted Transferees beneficially own a number of Common Shares as of such date of determination equal to less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company.

(b)               The Company agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of any of its equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities within the 10 days prior to and during the 90 days (unless advised by the managing underwriter that a longer period, not to exceed 180 days, is required, or such shorter period as the managing underwriter for any underwritten offering may agree) beginning on the effective date of any underwritten any underwritten Registration (except as part of such underwritten Registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or S-4 or any successor forms thereto), except that such restriction shall not prohibit (i) grants of employee stock options or other issuances of Capital Stock pursuant to the terms of a Company employee benefit plan, issuances by the Company of Capital Stock pursuant to the exercise of such options or the exercise of any other employee stock options outstanding on the date hereof, (ii) the Company from issuing shares of Capital Stock in private placements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or in connection with a strategic alliance, or (iii) the Company from publicly announcing its intention to issue, or actually issuing, shares of Capital Stock to shareholders of another entity as consideration for the Company's acquisition of, or merger with, such entity. In addition, upon the request of the managing underwriter, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities whether outstanding on the date of this Agreement or issued at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than any such securities acquired in a public offering), to agree not to effect any such public sale or distribution of such securities during such period, except as part of any such registration if permitted, and to cause each such holder to enter into a similar agreement to such effect with the Company.

3.7              Participation in Registrations. No Shareholder may participate in any Registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Shareholder (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.8              Remedies. Each Shareholder shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of Section 3.1 specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction in the event that the Company materially breaches such provisions, and the Company shall reimburse such Shareholder for the reasonable costs of and expenses for counsel for such Shareholder incurred in connection with such proceeding.

3.9              Rule 144. The Company shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and it will take such further action as any holder may reasonably request to make available adequate current public information with respect to the Company meeting the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, to the extent required to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.

(b)               No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable Law.

5.6              Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto, in whole or in part (whether by merger, consolidation, operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that the Shareholders may assign its rights hereunder to any Affiliate of such Shareholder; provided that such Affiliate (x) has executed a customary joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, in which such Affiliate agrees to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to the Shareholder and (y) remains an Affiliate of the Shareholder for so long as this Agreement remains in effect. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 5.6 shall be void.

5.7              Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

5.8              Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart.

5.9              Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents and the instruments referred to in this Agreement), together with the Merger Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to therein and the Definitive Documents (as defined in the Merger Agreement)), constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

5.10          Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Indiana applicable to contracts executed and to be performed wholly within such State and without reference to the choice or conflict of law principles (whether of the state of Indiana or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the Laws of a different jurisdiction. Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the state of Indiana any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such Action may be heard and determined in such court. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, counterclaim, or otherwise, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action. The parties hereto further agree, (i) to the extent permitted by Law, that final and nonappealable judgment against any of them in any Action contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment and (ii) that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 5.14.

5.11          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each party hereto knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by any of them against the other arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, or any other agreements executed in connection herewith or the administration thereof or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein. No party hereto shall seek a jury trial in any lawsuit, proceeding, counterclaim or any other litigation procedure based upon, or arising out of, this Agreement or any related instruments or the relationship between the parties hereto. No party hereto will seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury trial has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived. Each party hereto certifies that it has been induced to enter into this agreement or instrument by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications set forth above in this Section 5.11. No party hereto has in any way agreed with or represented to any other party that the provisions of this Section 5.11 will not be fully enforced in all instances.

5.12          Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.10, the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court set forth in Section 5.10, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

5.13          No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights upon any Person other than the parties hereto and each such party's respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns, all of whom shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

Parent Voting and Support Agreement

This Parent Voting and Support Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of September ____, 2021, is entered into by and between the undersigned stockholder (“Stockholder”) of Inotiv, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Parent”), and Envigo RMS Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Envigo”). Envigo and Stockholder are each sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS, concurrently with or following the execution of this Agreement, Envigo, Parent, Dolphin MergeCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Dolphin Merger Sub, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub LLC” and, together with Merger Sub, “Merger Subs”), have entered, or will enter, into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for, among other things, (i) the merger of Merger Sub with and into Envigo pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement (the “First Merger”), with Envigo surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and (ii) the merger of Envigo with and into Merger Sub LLC pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub LLC surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, in order to induce Envigo to enter into the Merger Agreement, Stockholder is willing to make certain representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the shares of common stock of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) Beneficially Owned by Stockholder and set forth below Stockholder’s signature on the signature page hereto (the “Original Shares” and, together with any additional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the “Shares”); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Envigo has required that Stockholder execute and deliver, and Stockholder has agreed to execute and deliver, this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency, and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1.                  Definitions.

For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement. When used in this Agreement, the following terms in all of their tenses, cases, and correlative forms shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Section 1.

(a)               “Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or not such rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, “Beneficially Own” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall also include record ownership of securities.

(b)               “Beneficial Owner” shall mean the Person who Beneficially Owns the referenced securities.

2.                  Representations of Stockholder.

Stockholder represents and warrants to Envigo that:

(a)               Ownership of Shares. Stockholder: (i) is the Beneficial Owner of, and has good and marketable title to, all of the Original Shares free and clear of any proxy, voting restriction, adverse claim, or other Liens, other than those created by this Agreement or under applicable federal or state securities laws; and (ii) has the sole voting and sole disposition power over all of the Original Shares. Except pursuant to this Agreement, there are no options, warrants, or other rights, agreements, arrangements, or commitments of any character to which Stockholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition, or voting of any of the Original Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Original Shares.

(b)               Disclosure of All Shares Owned. Stockholder does not Beneficially Own any shares of Company Common Stock other than: (i) the Original Shares; and (ii) any options, warrants, or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Company Common Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of Company Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (collectively, “Options”).

(c)               Power and Authority; Binding Agreement. Stockholder has full power and authority and legal capacity to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully Stockholder’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Stockholder and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Stockholder, enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Legal Requirements affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(d)               No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance with the provisions hereof will not, conflict with or violate any Legal Requirement applicable to Stockholder or result in any breach of or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration, or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Lien on any of the Shares pursuant to, any agreement or other instrument or obligation binding upon Stockholder or any of the Shares.

(e)               No Consents. No consent, approval, Order, or authorization of, or registration, declaration, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person on the part of Stockholder is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement. No consent of Stockholder’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws in order for Stockholder to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(f)                No Litigation. There is no action, suit, investigation, or proceeding (whether judicial, arbitral, administrative, or other) (each an “Action”) pending against, or, to the knowledge of Stockholder, threatened against or affecting, Stockholder that could reasonably be expected to materially impair or materially adversely affect the ability of Stockholder to perform Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis.

3.                  Agreement to Vote Shares.

Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees during the term of this Agreement, at any annual or special meeting of Parent called with respect to the following matters, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent or consents of Parent’s stockholders with respect to any of the following matters, to vote or cause the holder of record to vote the Shares: (i) in favor of (1) the increase in the number of authorized shares of Parent to a number recommended by the Board of Directors of Parent, (2) the issuance of Common Shares of Parent to the holders of equity interests in Envigo pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (3) the issuance of Common Shares of Parent upon conversion of any convertible notes issued by Parent in order to finance the payment of a portion of the cash consideration to be paid to the holders of equity interests in Envigo pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (4) the increase in the number of shares available for making equity awards under Parent's equity incentive plan in an amount recommended by the Board of Directors of Parent, (5) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of stockholders of Parent to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the foregoing matters, and (6) any other matter recommended by the Board of Directors of Parent presented at an annual or special meeting at which any of the foregoing matters are presented; and (ii) against any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty, or any other obligation or agreement of Parent under the Merger Agreement or of Stockholder under this Agreement, and any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect, or inhibit the timely consummation of the Mergers or the fulfillment of Parent’s, Envigo’s, Merger Sub’s or Merger Sub LLC’s conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of Parent (including any amendments to Parent’s Organizational Documents).

4.                  No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement.

Stockholder agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, Stockholder will not, and will not permit any entity under Stockholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Shares, or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than agreements entered into with Envigo.

5.                  Transfer and Encumbrance.

Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge, convey any legal or Beneficial Ownership interest in or otherwise dispose of (by merger (including by conversion into securities or other consideration), by tendering into any tender or exchange offer, by operation of law, or otherwise), or encumber (“Transfer”) any of the Shares or enter into any contract, option, or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Shares or Stockholder’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 5 shall be null and void. This Section 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares by Stockholder to any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or upon the death of Stockholder; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent and Envigo, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

6.                  Additional Shares.

Stockholder agrees that all Parent Common Shares that Stockholder purchases, acquires the right to vote, or otherwise acquires Beneficial Ownership of, but excluding Parent Common Shares underlying unexercised Options, after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, or the like of the capital stock of Parent affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities and such resulting securities shall be deemed to be “Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement.

7.                  Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (the “Expiration Time”): (a) the Effective Time; (b) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and (c) the termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the Parties. Nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party for any intentional breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

8.                  No Agreement as Director or Officer.

Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of Parent or any of its subsidiaries (if Stockholder holds such office), and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Stockholder in Stockholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement; or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict Stockholder from exercising Stockholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director to Parent or its stockholders.

9.                  Further Assurances.

Stockholder agrees, from time to time, and without additional consideration, to execute and deliver such additional proxies, documents, and other instruments and to take all such further action as Envigo may reasonably request to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.              Specific Performance.

Each Party hereto acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other Party if a Party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other Party will not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly, each Party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law. Each Party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other Party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.

11.              Entire Agreement.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the Parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either Party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such Party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such Party.

12.              Notices.

Any notice, request, consent, claim, demand, waiver or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to a party under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of actual receipt or (a) when delivered by hand providing proof of delivery; (b) on the next Business Day if transmitted by national overnight courier (with confirmation of delivery); or (c) on the date sent by email (provided that no "bounce back" or similar message of non-delivery is received with respect thereto), in each case sent to the respective parties at the following addresses (or to such other Persons or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a written notice given in accordance with this Section 12):

Exhibit 99.1

Inotiv, Inc. and Envigo Propose to Join Forces to Enhance Research and Drug Discovery Solutions

-- Expected to establish a leading global provider of a full spectrum of pre-clinical solutions --

-- Expected to be immediately accretive to Inotiv earnings and margins before synergies --

-- Expected to enhance scale, broaden customer base and create significant cross-selling opportunities --

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. and Indianapolis, Ind.; Sept. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Inotiv, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOTV) (or “Inotiv”), a leading contract research organization (CRO) specializing in nonclinical and analytical drug discovery and development services, and Envigo RMS Holding Corp. (or “Envigo”), a leading global provider of research models and services, today jointly announced that they have entered into an agreement for Inotiv to purchase Envigo. Upon consummation of the acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions, the combined company will enable drug developers to access products and services for the entirety of discovery and nonclinical development within one organization. Transaction consideration consists of $200 million of cash and 9,365,173 Inotiv common shares, subject to certain adjustments at closing. Inotiv has received committed debt financing to fund the cash portion of the transaction. Based upon the closing price of Inotiv common stock on Monday, September 20, 2021, the transaction values Envigo at an enterprise value of approximately $545 million, and the combined company at an enterprise value of approximately $1.2 billion.

Upon closing of the transaction, Inotiv shareholders are expected to own approximately 64 percent and Envigo shareholders are expected to own approximately 36 percent of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.

“Evolving complexity in the disease research space is creating additional demand for research models, and continued innovation in biopharma is increasing demand for specialty and disease-specific models,” said Inotiv President and CEO, Robert Leasure, Jr. “The complementary nature of Inotiv and Envigo is expected to accelerate the movement of innovative drugs and medical devices through the discovery and preclinical phases of development. Supported by deep, in-house expertise and scientific capabilities, we’re building a comprehensive contract pharmaceutical research solutions provider with a full spectrum of discovery and nonclinical services and research models into a unique, one-stop-shop, discovery-to-approval solution for drug developers.”

“Envigo has a long history and broad expertise supplying critical research models and services to the scientific community,” said Envigo CEO, Adrian Hardy. “Our diverse client base of CROs, pharmaceutical, government and academic institutions and Inotiv’s biopharma clients will be able to utilize leading research models and services from Envigo, including genetically engineered models and services (GEMS), contract breeding services, Teklad laboratory animal diets, surgical services, custom antibody services, and large and small research models.”
