This Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 9, 2022 (this “Agreement”), by and among ModeX Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), OPKO Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Orca Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Gary J. Nabel, an individual, solely in the capacity of a representative of the Stockholders, and any successor or additional representative of the Stockholders designated pursuant to Section 7.2 (“Sellers’ Representative”).

WHEREAS, the Company Board, by resolutions thereof duly adopted, has approved this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), whereby, at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company (the “Shares”) not owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company and other than certain Shares as provided in Section 1.5(b) and Section 1.7, will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Parent Common Stock, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company Board, by resolutions thereof duly adopted, has declared this Agreement and the Merger advisable and in the best interests of the Stockholders and has recommended that the Stockholders vote in favor of adopting this Agreement and the Merger;

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent and Merger Sub have each, by resolutions thereof duly adopted: (a) determined that it is in the best interests of Parent and Merger Sub, respectively, and their respective stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement; and (b) approved the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, and, in the case of Parent, the issuance of the Parent Common Stock, in each case, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”); and

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals (which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.    THE MERGER

1.1    The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by the Company executing, delivering and filing a Certificate of Merger, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with, and with the effects provided in, the applicable provisions of the DGCL, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation resulting from the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) and, as a result, shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, shall continue to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and shall succeed to and assume all of the rights and obligations of Merger Sub, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease.

1.2    Effective Time; Effect of the Merger.

(a)    The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the time the Merger becomes effective under the DGCL being the “Effective Time”).

1.3    Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)    The Bylaws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be and become the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law; provided, that all references in such Bylaws to the name of Merger Sub shall be amended to refer to “ModeX Therapeutics, Inc.”

1.4    Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)    The individuals set forth on Schedule 1.4(b) shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

1.5    Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any securities of the Company:

(c)    Each Share (other than (i) Shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 1.5(b) and (ii) any Appraisal Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”), equal to the Exchange Ratio (such number of shares of Parent Common Stock, the “Per Share Parent Common Stock”), on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. All such Shares, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each Stockholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Parent Common Stock.

(d)    No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger as a result of the conversion provided for in Section 1.5(c), and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. If a holder of Shares would otherwise be entitled to receive less than one but one half or greater of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) pursuant to Section 1.5(c), then the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of such shares of Parent Common Stock. If a holder of Shares would otherwise be entitled to receive less than one half of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) pursuant to Section 1.5(c), then the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such holder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of such shares of Parent Common Stock, and such holder of Shares shall not be entitled to receive

any cash payment or any other consideration in lieu of any fractional shares that would have been issued in the absence of this Section 1.5(d).

(e)    In no event will the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in respect of all Shares be greater or less than the quotient of the Merger Consideration divided by the Parent Stock Price, except to the extent resulting from the operation of Section 1.5(d).

1.6    Exchange Procedures.

(a)    Exchange Agent. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with a bank, trust company or shareholder service provider designated by Parent, which may be the Company’s transfer agent (the “Exchange Agent”), for exchange in accordance with this Section 1, certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.5(c) or otherwise make available book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Exchange Agent; provided, that, on behalf of the Stockholders, Parent shall withhold from such shares of Parent Common Stock a number of shares equal to the sum of the Indemnity Escrow Amount plus the Equity Escrow Amount, which such shares of Parent Common Stock shall be deposited by Parent into the Indemnity Escrow Account and Equity Escrow Account, respectively. Parent shall make available by depositing with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.6(c). All certificates (or book-entries) representing shares of Parent Common Stock and cash, if any, deposited with the Exchange Agent are hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Interests.

(b)    Letters of Transmittal. On the Closing Date, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, or cause the Exchange Agent to deliver, to each Stockholder whose Shares were converted pursuant to Section 1.5(c) into the right to receive Parent Common Stock with respect thereto and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.6(c), (i) a letter of transmittal in the form attached as Exhibit B (a “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Shares in exchange for the shares of Parent Common Stock payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 1.5(c) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.6(c). Upon surrender of the Shares to the Exchange Agent, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions therewith, and such other documents as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (x) a certificate (or evidence of book-entry issuance) representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Shares surrendered by such holder) to which such holder of Shares shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(c) net of any amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 1.8 and (y) any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.6(c).

(c)    Dividends. Until surrendered as contemplated by Section 1.6(b), each Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the shares of Parent Common Stock payable in respect of Shares as contemplated by this Section 1, and no dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Shares that have not been so surrendered. Upon surrender of such Shares in accordance with Section 1.6(b), there shall be paid to the record holder thereof, without interest, the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d)    Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. The shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.6(c) issued and paid in respect of Shares upon the surrender of such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Section 1 shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the Stockholders shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided for

herein or by applicable Law. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be deemed surrendered and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.

(e)    Undistributed Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f)    No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the parties hereto nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Person for shares of Parent Common Stock or dividends or other distributions with respect thereto delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g)    Tax Withholding. The Surviving Corporation and any other Person making payment of money or payments in kind in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable to any Person in connection with this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any Tax Law. To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made. Except for payments that are reasonably expected to be compensatory in nature, or payments to a Person who does not provide a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, in the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation determines that withholding from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement is required under applicable Tax Law, Parent or the Surviving Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Sellers’ Representative reasonably in advance of the Closing or any subsequent date that the applicable payment is to be made to provide such recipient with an opportunity to provide any form or documentation or take such other steps to avoid such withholding.

1.7    Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares (“Appraisal Shares”) that are outstanding immediately before the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Appraisal Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Parent Common Stock as provided in Section 1.5, but rather, each such holder of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to receive only those rights provided under Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, then the right of such holder to receive such rights provided under Section 262 shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into solely the right to receive the Parent Common Stock as provided in Section 1.5.

1.8    Indemnity Escrow Account; Equity Escrow Account.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.5(c), at the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Escrow Agent the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Equity Escrow Amount (plus any additional shares as may be issued after the Effective Time with respect to the shares constituting the Indemnity Escrow Amount or the Equity Escrow Amount upon any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization) to be deposited into the Indemnity Escrow Account and the Equity Escrow Account, which Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Equity Escrow Account (and any dividend payment pursuant to Section 1.6(c) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Indemnity Escrow Amount or the Equity Escrow Account) shall be held and distributed as provided in the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement. The shares of Parent Common Stock to be deposited with the Escrow Agent shall be deducted, ratably in accordance with the Stockholders’ Pro Rata Interests, from the shares of Parent Common Stock that the Stockholders would otherwise have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5(c) and Section 1.6(b) without any act of any Stockholder.

(b)    Parent and Sellers’ Representative shall procure that, on the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Interests, the balance of the Indemnity Escrow Account at such time, if any, less the shares of Parent Common Stock having a value equal to any amounts that are the subject of any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.1 that have been asserted prior to the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement, to the extent the same: (a) are resolved but unpaid, or (b) are unresolved, in each case, as of such date, which amounts shall be retained in the Indemnity Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. For purposes of determining the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered to the Stockholders out of the Indemnity Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 1.8, the shares of Parent Common Stock shall be valued at a price per share of Parent Common Stock calculated based on the average of the daily VWAP over the 30 trading days prior to the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c)    Parent and Sellers’ Representative shall, on the four (4)-year anniversary of the Closing Date, deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Written Direction (as defined in the Escrow Agreement), instructing the Escrow Agent disburse from the Equity Escrow Account to the Stockholders, in accordance with their Pro Rata Interests, shares of Parent Common Stock having a value equal to the Forfeited Consideration; provided, that if the Forfeited Consideration is greater than the balance of the Equity Escrow Account, then only the balance of the Equity Escrow Account shall be disbursed to the Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Interests. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Forfeited Consideration is less than the balance of the Equity Escrow Account, then the Forfeited Consideration shall be disbursed to the Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Interests and the remainder shall be returned to Parent. For purposes of determining the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered to the Stockholders out of the Equity Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 1.8(c), the shares of Parent Common Stock shall be valued at the Parent Stock Price.

1.9    Estimate of Merger Consideration.

(a)    On or prior to the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the date hereof, the Company shall have prepared and delivered a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) to Parent setting forth the Company’s reasonable, good faith estimates of (i) Cash as of the close of business on the Closing Date (“Estimated Cash”), (ii) all Indebtedness of the Company as of the close of Business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), (iii) Current Liabilities as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Current Liabilities”), (iv) the Seller Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses”), and (v) the Company’s calculation of the Merger Consideration, together with reasonable supporting documentation in respect of all items contained on the Estimated Closing Statement. The Estimated Closing Statement (including the Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Current Liabilities and Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses) shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with GAAP (and, to the extent not inconsistent with GAAP, the past practices of the Company) or as provided in the definitions of this Agreement.

(b)    Following delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, the Company shall have permitted Parent and its Representatives at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to review the Company’s working papers relating to the calculation and preparation of the Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Current Liabilities and Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses, as well as the Company’s accounting books and records relating thereto, and the Company shall have made reasonably available its Representatives (if any) responsible for the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement in order to respond to the inquiries of Parent and its Representatives. Prior to the Closing, the parties shall have acted reasonably in resolving in good faith any disagreements concerning the computation of any of the items included in the Estimated Closing Statement (including the calculations of the Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Current Liabilities and Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses); provided, that, it is acknowledged and agreed that if any disagreements shall have remained unresolved, then the Closing shall occur on the basis of the Estimated Closing Statement delivered by the Company and that any unresolved disagreements shall be deferred for resolution pursuant to the post-closing merger consideration adjustment process described in Section 1.10.

1.10    Post-Closing Merger Consideration Adjustment.

(a)    Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall prepare and deliver a statement (the “Initial Closing Statement”) to Sellers’ Representative setting forth (i) the Surviving Corporation’s determination of Cash as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Cash”), (ii) all Indebtedness of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Indebtedness”), (iii) Current Liabilities as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Current Liabilities”), (iv) the Seller Transaction Expenses (the “Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses”) and (v) the Surviving Corporation’s calculation of the Merger Consideration. The Initial Closing Statement (including the Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Current Liabilities and Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses) shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with GAAP (and, to the extent not inconsistent with GAAP, the past practice of the Company) or as provided in the definitions of this Agreement. If the Surviving Corporation does not deliver the Initial Closing Statement to Sellers’ Representative within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, then, at the election of Sellers’ Representative in its sole discretion, either (A) the Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Current Liabilities and Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses shall be deemed the Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness, Actual Current Liabilities and Actual Seller Transaction Expenses and shall be considered final for all purposes hereunder or (B) Sellers’ Representative shall retain (with the cost borne as set forth in Section 1.10(c)) the CPA Firm to review the calculations of Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Current Liabilities and Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses and make any adjustments necessary thereto consistent with the provisions of this Section 1.10, and the determination of the CPA Firm shall be deemed agreed, final and binding on the parties.

(b)    Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, shall complete its review of the Initial Closing Statement within thirty (30) days after the Surviving Corporation’s delivery thereof to Sellers’ Representative. During such review period, the Surviving Corporation shall provide Sellers’ Representative with access to all books and records reasonably requested by Sellers’ Representative to review the Initial Closing Statement (including the calculation and preparation of the Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Current Liabilities and Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses), any work papers prepared by the Surviving Corporation or its accountants, subject to the internal policies of the Surviving Corporation’s accountants, in connection with such calculations, and the Surviving Corporation shall make reasonably available its Representatives responsible for the preparation of the Initial Closing Statement in order to respond to the inquiries of Sellers’ Representative. If Sellers’ Representative objects to the contents of the Initial Closing Statement for any reason, Sellers’ Representative shall, on or before the last day of such 30-day period, so inform the Surviving Corporation in writing (a “Sellers’ Objection”), setting forth a specific description of the basis of its determination and the adjustments to the Initial Closing Statement that Sellers’ Representative believes should be made. To the extent any disagreement therewith is not described in a Sellers’ Objection received by Surviving Corporation on or before the last day of such 30-day period, then the items described in the Initial Closing Statement delivered by the Surviving Corporation to Sellers’ Representative shall be deemed agreed, final and binding on the parties.

(c)    If Sellers’ Representative timely delivers a Sellers’ Objection to the Surviving Corporation, and Sellers’ Representative and the Surviving Corporation are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the proposed adjustments set forth in the Sellers’ Objection within thirty (30) days following the Surviving Corporation’s receipt of the Sellers’ Objection, then they shall jointly retain the CPA Firm, which, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall determine, on the basis set forth herein and in accordance with this Section 1.10, and only with respect to those items specifically described in the Sellers’ Objection on which the Surviving Corporation and Sellers’ Representative have not agreed, whether and to what extent, if any, the Merger Consideration requires adjustment. The Surviving Corporation and Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the CPA Firm to deliver its written determination to the Surviving Corporation and Sellers’ Representative no later than 30 days after submitting the matter to it for resolution. At the time of retention of the CPA Firm, the Surviving Corporation shall specify in writing to the CPA Firm and Sellers’ Representative the amount of the Surviving Corporation’s computation of the Merger Consideration (the “Surviving Corporation’s Position”), and Sellers’ Representative shall specify in writing to the CPA Firm and to the Surviving Corporation the amount of its computation of the Merger Consideration (the “Sellers’ Position”). The

CPA Firm’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholders, absent fraud or manifest error. In resolving any disputed item, the CPA Firm may not assign a value to any disputed item that is greater than the greatest value claimed by the Surviving Corporation or Sellers’ Representative at the time the CPA Firm is retained or less than the smallest value claimed for the item by the Surviving Corporation or Sellers’ Representative at such time. The scope of the dispute(s) to be resolved by the CPA Firm is limited to whether the calculation of Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Current Liabilities and Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses were done in a manner consistent with the provisions and definitions of this Agreement and mathematically accurate, and the CPA Firm is not to make any other determination unless jointly requested in writing by Sellers’ Representative and the Surviving Corporation. The fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm (collectively, the “Merger Consideration Dispute Expenses”) shall be borne by (i) Stockholders in that proportion equal to a fraction (expressed as a percentage) the numerator of which is equal to Sellers’ Position minus the Merger Consideration determined by the CPA Firm, and the denominator of which is equal to Sellers’ Position minus Surviving Corporation’s Position and (ii) the Surviving Corporation in that proportion equal to a fraction (expressed as a percentage) equal to one (1) minus the fraction described in clause (i). For example, if Sellers’ Position is that the Merger Consideration should be $150,000 and the Surviving Corporation’s Position is that the Merger Consideration should be $100,000, the CPA Firm determines that the Merger Consideration should be $130,000 and the Merger Consideration Dispute Expenses are $10,000, then (i) the Stockholders shall pay $4,000 (40%) of the Merger Consideration Dispute Expenses and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall pay $6,000 (60%) of the Merger Consideration Dispute Expenses. The Surviving Corporation, the Company and Sellers’ Representative shall cooperate with the CPA Firm during its resolution of the disagreement and make readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant personnel and Representatives, books and records and any work papers (including those of the parties’ respective accountants, to the extent permitted by such accountants) relating to amounts set forth in the Initial Closing Statement and Sellers’ Objection and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm in connection therewith.

(d)    The Initial Closing Statement including the Closing Date Cash, Closing Date Indebtedness, Closing Date Current Liabilities and Closing Date Seller Transaction Expenses, as agreed to (or deemed to have been agreed to) between the Surviving Corporation and Sellers’ Representative or as determined by the CPA Firm, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto and shall be deemed the “Actual Cash”, “Actual Indebtedness”, “Actual Current Liabilities” and “Actual Seller Transaction Expenses”, respectively, for all purposes herein.

(e)    Upon completion of the calculation of the Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness, Actual Current Liabilities and Actual Seller Transaction Expenses in accordance with this Section 1.10, the Merger Consideration shall be recalculated, and the following adjustments (the “Merger Consideration Adjustment”) made:

(i)    If the Merger Consideration calculated using the Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness, Actual Current Liabilities and Actual Seller Transaction Expenses is greater than the Merger Consideration calculated using the Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Current Liabilities and Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses, then the Surviving Corporation shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the final determination) pay such difference to the Stockholders by, at the Surviving Corporation’s option, (x) wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Interests pursuant to the instructions contained in the Stockholders’ respective Letters of Transmittal, (y) the issuance of Parent Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to the amount of such difference, to the Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Interests, or (z) a combination of the payment of cash and the issuance of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y). For purposes of determining the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Section 1.10(e)(i), if any, the shares of Parent Common Stock shall be valued at the Parent Stock Price.

(ii)    If the Merger Consideration calculated using the Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness, Actual Current Liabilities and Actual Seller Transaction Expenses is less than the Merger Consideration calculated using the Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Current Liabilities and Estimated Seller Transaction Expenses, then Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders (who shall bear the payment obligation set forth in this Section 1.10(e)(ii) on a joint and several basis),

shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the final determination) pay such difference to the Surviving Corporation by, at Sellers’ Representative’s option, (x) wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Surviving Corporation, (y) the forfeiture of Parent Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to the amount of such difference, or (z) a combination of the payment of cash and the forfeiture of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y).

Except as a result of Fraud or a breach of any Company Fundamental Representation, in no event shall the Stockholders’ aggregate liability to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons for any Losses pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(i) exceed the Indemnity Escrow Amount. Except as a result of Fraud, in no event shall

the Stockholders’ aggregate liability to indemnify the Parent Indemnified Persons for any Losses pursuant to this Section 5 exceed the Merger Consideration.

(b)    Notwithstanding Section 5.2 hereof, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Person in respect of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 5.2(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses subject to indemnification under Section 5.2(a) exceeds the Deductible, in which case Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be liable only for such Losses in excess of the Deductible. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Deductible shall not apply to Losses to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to Fraud or a breach of a Parent Fundamental Representation.

(c)    Any indemnification of the Parent Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be satisfied within fifteen (15) days after a determination thereof that is binding on the Stockholders by Sellers’ Representative and Parent jointly delivering written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing that the Escrow Agent deliver to the Surviving Corporation out of the Indemnity Escrow Account shares of Parent Common Stock having a value equal to the amount of such Losses, in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement. For purposes of determining the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered to the Surviving Corporation out of the Indemnity Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 5.4(c), the shares of Parent Common Stock shall be valued at a price per share of Parent Common Stock calculated based on the average of the daily VWAP over the 30 trading days prior to the date that is two days prior to delivery of such shares of Parent Common Stock to the Surviving Corporation. Subject to Section 5.4(a), to the extent indemnifiable Losses exceed the amount then held in the Indemnity Escrow Account, the Stockholders shall, severally, and not jointly, in accordance with each Stockholders’ respective Pro Rata Interest, (i) pay to the Parent Indemnified Persons the amount of such outstanding Losses by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Parent Indemnified Person, (ii) transfer, for no consideration, to the Parent Indemnified Persons shares of Parent Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Stockholders having an aggregate value equal to the amount of such outstanding Losses based on the average of the daily VWAP over the 30 trading days prior to the date that is two days prior to delivery of such shares of Parent Common Stock or (iii) a combination of the payment of cash and the transfer to Parent of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii). Any indemnification of the Seller Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Section 5 shall be effected by, at the Surviving Corporation’s option, and within fifteen (15) days after the date of determination thereof (such date, the “Determination Date”), (x) wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Surviving Corporation to an account designated in writing by such Seller Indemnified Person, (y) the issuance to such Seller Indemnified Person of Parent Common Stock having an aggregate value equal to the amount of such outstanding Losses based on the average of the daily VWAP over the 30 trading days prior to the Determination Date, or (z) a combination of the payment of cash and the issuance of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y).

(d)    The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5 shall be reduced by (i) the insurance proceeds actually received with respect to any such Losses and (ii) any other amount, if any, recovered from third parties (as a result of indemnification, contribution, guarantee or otherwise) by the Indemnified Person (or its Affiliates) with respect to any Losses less in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) all reasonable costs (including attorneys’ fees) of the Indemnified Person to collect such proceeds and any increase in insurance premiums resulting from such recovery.

(f)    Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that, except in the case of Fraud, Parent Indemnified Persons’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating to this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other laws or otherwise, including any breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 5.

5.5    Third Party Claims.

(a)    Notice of Claim. If any third party notifies an Indemnified Person with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to an Indemnity Claim against an Indemnifying Person under this Section 5, then the Indemnified Person will promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) give written notice to the Indemnifying Person(s); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Person in notifying the Indemnifying Person will relieve the Indemnifying Person from any obligation under this Section 5, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is actually prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice in such a timely manner.

(b)    Assumption of Defense, etc. The Indemnifying Person will be entitled to participate, at such Indemnifying Person’s expense, in the defense of any Third Party Claim that is the subject of a notice given by the Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 5.5(a). In addition, the Indemnifying Person will have the right to assume the defense of the Indemnified Person against the Third Party Claim with reputable counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person so long as (i) the Indemnifying Person gives written notice to the Indemnified Person within twenty (20) days after the Indemnified Person has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Person will indemnify the Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses the Indemnified Person may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim (subject to the limitations contained in this Section 5), (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Person, (iii) the Indemnified Person has not been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim, (iv) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with Taxes (provided, that with respect to Taxes, this Section 5.5(b) shall not affect the Stockholders’ right to defend any claim of a Governmental Authority as permitted by Section 6) or any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action, (v) the claim for indemnification does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (vi) the Indemnified Person does not reasonably believe that an adverse determination with respect to any Action or threatened Action in respect of the Third Party Claim could be detrimental to or injure the Indemnified Person’s reputation or future business prospects and (vii) the Indemnifying Person conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. The Indemnified Person may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Person will pay the fees and expenses of a single co-counsel retained by the Indemnified Person (y) that are incurred prior to the Indemnifying Person’s assumption of control of the defense of the Third Party Claim, or (z) if the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Person and Indemnifying Person.

(c)    Limitations on Indemnifying Person. The Indemnifying Person shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such judgment, compromise or settlement (i) provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Person of money as sole relief for the claimant, (ii) results in the full and general release of all Parent Indemnified Persons or Seller Indemnified Persons, as applicable, from all Liabilities arising or relating to, or in connection with, the Third Party Claim and (iii) involves no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or the rights of any Person and has no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person.

(d)    Indemnified Person’s Control. If the Indemnifying Person does not deliver the notice contemplated by clause (i) of Section 5.5(b) within twenty (20) days after the Indemnified Person has given notice of the Third Party Claim, or otherwise at any time fails to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, the Indemnified Person may, without waiving any right that the Indemnified Person may have against the Indemnifying Person for indemnification, defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim with the consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If such notice is given on a timely basis and the Indemnifying Person conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently but any of the other conditions in Section 5.5(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, the Indemnified Person may, without waiving any right that the

Indemnified Person may have against the Indemnifying Person for indemnification, defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim with the consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld. In the event that the Indemnified Person conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 5.5(d), the Indemnifying Person shall (i) unless the Indemnifying Person is in good faith contesting whether such Third Party Claim is valid or would result in indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Agreement, advance the Indemnified Person promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and (ii) remain responsible for any and all other Losses that the Indemnified Person may incur or suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 5.

(e)    Reasonable Cooperation. The party not in control of the prosecution or defense of a Third Party Claim will reasonably cooperate with the other party in the conduct of the prosecution or defense of such Third Party Claim.

5.6    Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Person on account of Losses which do not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Person reasonably prompt written notice thereof (such notice, a “Direct Claim Notice”), but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such Indemnified Person becomes aware of such Direct Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Person in notifying the Indemnifying Person will relieve the Indemnifying Person from any obligation under this Section 5, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is actually prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice in such a timely manner. A Direct Claim Notice must describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, if known, and indicate the estimated amount of Losses (if reasonably estimable) that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifying Person will have a period of thirty (30) days within which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Person does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnified Person shall be free to pursue such reasonable remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Person on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. If an objection is timely interposed by the Indemnifying Person, then the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall discuss such objection in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days from the date the Indemnified Person receives such objection (such period, or such longer period as mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties, is hereinafter referred to as the “Discussion Period”), and all such discussions (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person) shall be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar Law. If the Direct Claim that is the subject of the Direct Claim Notice has not been resolved prior to the expiration of the Discussion Period, then the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person may submit the dispute for resolution to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 7.15 and each will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to them on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

5.7    Remedies Cumulative. The rights of each Parent Indemnified Person and Seller Indemnified Person under this Section 5 are cumulative, and each Parent Indemnified Person and Seller Indemnified Person, as the case may be, will have the right in any particular circumstance, in its sole discretion, to enforce any provision of this Section 5 without regard to the availability of a remedy under any other provision of this Section 5.

5.8    Merger Consideration Adjustment. Payments received by any party pursuant to this Section 5 shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration, including for Tax purposes.

6.    TAX MATTERS

6.1    Books and Records. The Company shall grant to Parent and Merger Sub or their designees reasonable access at all reasonable times to the Company’s books and records relevant to Tax matters of the Company (including tax work papers and returns and correspondence with Taxing Authorities), including the right to take extracts therefrom and make copies thereof, to the extent the books and records relate to taxable periods that end or would end on or prior to or include the Closing

6.2    Tax Returns.

(b)    Parent shall timely file (or cause to be timely filed) all Tax Returns of the Company that are required to be filed after the Closing Date (taking into account any available extensions) and, subject to Section 6.2(c), pay (or cause to be paid) all Taxes due with respect to those Tax Returns within the time and in the manner required by applicable Law. All of those Tax Returns for taxable periods beginning before the Closing Date shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, except as required by applicable Law or unless otherwise first consented to in writing by Sellers’ Representative. With respect to Tax Returns of the Company that include a Pre-Closing Tax Period and that are required to be filed by the Company under this Section 6.2(b) after the Closing Date, Sellers’ Representative shall cause the Company to commence preparing those Tax Returns within the time and substantially adhering to the schedule that the Company has typically followed in having those Tax Returns prepared and, after the Closing Date, Sellers’ Representative shall, in each case, cooperate in the preparation of all of those Tax Returns and shall promptly provide to the Company all information available to the Stockholders and needed to prepare and file those Tax Returns.

6.3    Tax Contests.

(a)    If a claim shall be made by any Taxing Authority that, if successful, would result in the indemnification of an Indemnified Taxpayer, the Indemnified Taxpayer shall promptly notify Sellers’ Representative in writing of that fact; provided, however, that any failure to give the notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Taxpayer except to the extent the rights of the indemnifying party are actually materially prejudiced.

(c)    Parent shall control all proceedings taken in connection with (A) any Tax Claim relating to Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period, except to the extent the proceedings affect the amount of Taxes for which the Stockholders are liable under this Agreement, in which case, (x) Parent shall not settle or otherwise conclude any Tax Claim with respect to Taxes for which the Stockholders are liable under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (y) Sellers’ Representative and counsel of its choosing shall have the right to participate fully in all aspects of the prosecution or defense of the Tax Claim at the sole cost of Sellers’ Representative, and (B) all other Tax Claims not described in this Section 6.

(d)    In the event of any inconsistence, the provisions of this Section 6.3 shall be controlling over the provisions of Section 5 with respect to Tax-related matters.

6.4    Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes shall be borne and paid fifty percent (50%) by each of the Stockholders and fifty percent (50%) by the Surviving Corporation. Sellers’ Representative and Parent will cooperate (and cause their Affiliates to cooperate) to timely prepare any Tax Returns or other filings relating to Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes. Sellers’ Representative will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, Parent will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any of those Tax Returns and other documentation.

6.5    Disputes. Any disputes between the parties with respect to the application and/or interpretation of this Section 6 shall be resolved by a CPA Firm whose determination shall be binding on all parties. The fees and expenses of the CPA Firm’s involvement shall be borne 50% by the Stockholders and 50% by Parent.

6.6    Tax Treatment of Merger. The parties agree that the Merger will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Reorganization”). This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code. Each party hereto will file their respective Tax Returns in accordance with such treatment and will take no action or position which is inconsistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by Law.

Except as expressly set forth in Section 4.6 with respect to the D&O Indemnified Persons and Section 5 with respect to Indemnified Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assignees and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give any Person, other than the parties and such successors and assignees, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

7.5    Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Parent, Merger Sub and Sellers’ Representative, or in the case of a waiver, by the party or parties against whom the waiver is to be effective. No waiver by any party of any breach or violation or, default under or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach, violation, default of, or inaccuracy in, any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof.

7.6    Further Assurances. From and after the date hereof, upon the request of Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders), Parent, Merger Sub or, after the effective time, the Surviving Corporation, each party will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, assurances, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably required or appropriate to carry out the Contemplated Transactions.

7.7    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Transaction Agreements, and the other agreements and documents to be executed and delivered pursuant hereto or contemporaneously herewith constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior and contemporaneous discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto.

7.8    Schedules; Listed Documents, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Schedule or in this Agreement, the information and disclosures contained in any Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in any other Disclosure Schedule as though fully set forth in such Disclosure Schedule for which applicability of such information and disclosure is readily apparent on its face. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in any Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Such information and the dollar thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.

7.9    Counterparts; Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement will become effective when duly executed by each party hereto. Facsimile or other electronically scanned and transmitted signatures, including by email attachment, as well as DocuSign and similar electronic signatures, shall be deemed originals and shall constitute valid execution and acceptance of this Agreement by the signing/transmitting party.

7.11    Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If any provision hereof would, under applicable Law, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, then each party hereto intends that such provision will be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable Law.

7.12    Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation hereof.

7.13    Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party has breached or violated, or if there is an inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached or violated, or in respect of which there is not an inaccuracy, will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party has breached or violated, or there is an inaccuracy in, the first representation, warranty or covenant.

7.14    Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights of the parties and all Actions arising in whole or in part under or in connection herewith, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule of the State of Delaware or of any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction other than Delaware.

7.15    Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process.

(a)    Jurisdiction. Each party, by its execution hereof, (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts of the State of Delaware for the purpose of any Action between the parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, (b) hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such Action brought in one of the above-named courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens, should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any other court other than one of the above-named courts, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (c) hereby agrees not to commence any such Action other than before one of the above-named courts. Notwithstanding the previous sentence a party may commence any Action in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

(b)    Venue. Each party agrees that for any Action between the parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, such party will bring Actions only in the state or federal courts located in Delaware. Each party further waives any claim and will not assert that venue should properly lie in any other location within the selected jurisdiction.

(c)    Service of Process. Each party hereby (a) consents to service of process in any Action between the parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement in any manner permitted by Delaware law, (b) agrees that service of process made in accordance with clause (a) or made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 7.1, will constitute good and valid service of process in any such Action and (c) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise) in any such Action any claim that

7.16    Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, WHICH ACTION WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

7.17    Expenses. Except as provided in Section 1.10, Section 4, Section 5 or Section 6, each party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

7.18    Specific Performance. Each of the parties shall have the right and remedy, in addition to any others that may be available, at law or in equity, to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced through injunctive or other relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, and any breach by one party which causes the Closing not to occur will cause irreparable injury to the other parties, the amount of which will be difficult to determine, and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the non-breaching parties. All parties to this Agreement covenant and agree that they shall not, and shall not authorize any other Person to, challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Section 7.18.

7.19    Non-Recourse. This Agreement may be enforced only against, and any Liability or Action (whether in contract or tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may be brought only against the individuals or entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party.

7.20    Investigation and Non-Reliance. Each of the Company, on one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other, is a sophisticated seller or purchaser, as the case may be, and has made its own independent investigation, review and analysis regarding the other party and the Contemplated Transactions, which investigation, review and analysis were conducted by such party together with its advisors, including legal counsel, that it has engaged for such purpose. No party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information concerning such party made available in connection with any investigation of such party, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. No party has relied and no party is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by the other party, or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, except as expressly set forth in Section 2 or Section 3 or in any certificate delivered in connection with the Closing.
