Article
2

2.1 Conversion of
Securities.

(a) At
the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders of any
capital stock of the Company, Parent, or Merger Sub:

(i) Each
share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Cancelled Shares) shall
be automatically converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(ii) All shares of Company Common Stock (other than any Company Cancelled Shares) shall cease to be outstanding and shall be automatically
cancelled and shall cease to exist and, as of the Effective Time, each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock shall cease
to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) and in accordance with Section 2.2 (together with any dividends or other distributions (if any) or any cash payment (if any) that
the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, respectively).

(iii) All
shares of Company Common Stock held by (x) the Company as treasury shares, (y) any Company Subsidiary or (z) Parent or any Subsidiary

Cancelled Shares ”), shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange
therefor.

3

(iv) Each
share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be

(b) If,
prior to the Effective Time, Parent or the Company should split, subdivide, consolidate, combine or otherwise reclassify the Parent Common
Stock or the Company Common Stock, as applicable, or pay a stock dividend or other stock distribution in the Parent Common Stock or the
Company Common Stock, as applicable, or otherwise change the Parent Common Stock or the Company Common Stock, as applicable, into any
other securities, or make any other such stock dividend or stock distribution in capital stock of Parent or the Company in respect of
the Parent Common Stock or the Company Common Stock, as applicable, then any number or amount contained herein which is based upon the
price or the number or fraction of shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock, as applicable, shall be appropriately adjusted
to proportionately reflect such split, combination, stock dividend or other stock distribution or change; provided that nothing
in this Section 2.1(b) shall be construed to permit Parent or the Company to take any action with respect to its securities
that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Payment for
Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent.
At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a reputable bank or trust company to act as the exchange agent (the identity
and terms of designation and appointment of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) for purposes of effecting the issuances
and payments contemplated by Section 2.1(a)(i), Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 (the “ Exchange Agent ”).
At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (x) an amount of uncertificated,
book-entry shares representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to effect the issuances contemplated by Section
2.1(a)(i) and (y) an amount of cash sufficient to deliver the payments contemplated by Section 2.4, in each case, to which
holders of Company Common Stock shall be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) and Section 2.4,
as applicable. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the Parent Common
Stock held by it from time to time hereunder. Following the Effective Time, Parent shall pay, or shall cause to be paid to the Exchange
Agent, from time to time, as needed, cash sufficient to pay the aggregate dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.3.
In the event such deposited shares or funds are insufficient to effect the issuances or make the payments contemplated pursuant to Section
2.1(a)(i), Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, as applicable, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, with
the Exchange Agent such additional shares or funds, as applicable, to ensure that the Exchange Agent has at all times sufficient shares
or funds, as applicable, to effect such issuances and make such payments. Earnings from any investment by the Exchange Agent (to be made
solely at Parent’s direction) of the cash deposited by Parent with the Exchange Agent pursuant to the second and fourth sentences
of this Section 2.2(a) shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent. No part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit
of holders of Company Common Stock (other than by virtue of receipt of the issuances or payments contemplated by Section 2.1(a)(i), Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, in each case, pursuant to the terms thereof) and no losses shall alter Parent’s obligation
to cause the Exchange Agent to issue the shares or pay the cash contemplated by Section 2.1(a)(i), Section 2.3 and Section
2.4, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.2(b).

4

(b) Procedures
for Surrender; Treatment of Company Certificated Shares and Company Book-Entry Shares.

(i) Company
Certificated Shares
. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the
Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Person that was a holder of record of shares of Company Common
Stock represented by a certificate (“ Company Certificated Shares ”) immediately prior to the Effective Time: (A) a letter
of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Certificated Shares shall
pass, only upon delivery of the Company Certificated Shares to the Exchange Agent, and shall otherwise be in such form as Parent, the
Company and the Exchange Agent shall reasonably agree; and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Company Certificated Shares
(or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Company Certificated Shares as provided in Section 2.2(f)) in exchange for the issuance
of the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (together with any dividends or other distributions (if any)
or any cash payment (if any) that the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4,
respectively). Upon surrender of any Company Certificated Shares (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Company Certificated Shares as provided
in Section 2.2(f)) to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, and upon delivery
of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Company Certificated Shares, the holder of such Company
Certificated Shares shall be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to issue and pay, if applicable, and deliver
as promptly as practicable after such surrender, (I) credit in the stock ledger and other appropriate books and records of Parent for
the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) and (II) any dividends or other distributions (if any) or any cash payment (if any) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant
to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, respectively, and any Company Certificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be
cancelled. If payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered
Company Certificated Shares are registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that the Company Certificated Shares so surrendered
shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any
transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered
holder of the Company Certificated Shares so surrendered and shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that
such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender
of the Company Certificated Shares. Until surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Company Certificated Share shall be deemed at any time
after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (together with any dividends or other distributions (if any) or any cash payment (if any) that the holder thereof has the right to receive
pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, respectively).

5

(ii) Company Book-Entry
Shares
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no holder of shares of Company Common Stock held in
book-entry form (“ Company Book-Entry Shares ”) shall be required to deliver a certificate evidencing such Company Book-Entry
Shares or, in the case of holders of Company Book-Entry Shares held through The Depository Trust Company, an executed letter of transmittal
to the Exchange Agent to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) or any dividends or other distributions (if any) or any cash payment (if any) that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, respectively. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Company Book-Entry Shares held through The
Depository Trust Company whose Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration shall
automatically, upon the Effective Time, be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to issue and pay, if applicable,
and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, (A) credit in the stock ledger and other appropriate books and records
of Parent for the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which such Company Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to Section
2.1(a)(i) and (B) any dividends or other distributions (if any) or any cash payment (if any) that such holder has the right to receive
pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, respectively, and any Company Book-Entry Shares shall forthwith be cancelled.
As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent
shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Company
Book-Entry Shares not held through The Depository Trust Company: (I) a letter of transmittal, which shall be in such form as Parent,
the Company and the Exchange Agent shall reasonably agree; and (II) instructions for returning such letter of transmittal in exchange
for the issuance of the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (together with any dividends or other distributions
(if any) or any cash payment (if any) that the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section
2.4, respectively). Upon delivery of such letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Company Book-Entry
Shares, the holder of such Company Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to issue
and pay, if applicable, and deliver as promptly as practicable after such delivery, (A) credit in the stock ledger and other appropriate
books and records of Parent for the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which such Company Book-Entry Shares have been converted
pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) and (B) any dividends or other distributions (if any) or any cash payment (if any) that such holder
has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, respectively, and any Company Book-Entry Shares
shall forthwith be cancelled. Payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to Company Book-Entry Shares shall only be made
to the Person in whose name such Company Book-Entry Shares are registered. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable
upon due surrender of Company Book-Entry Shares. Until paid or surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Company Book-Entry Share shall
be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (together with dividends or other distributions (if any) or any cash payment (if any) that the holder thereof
has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, respectively).

(c) Transfer Books;
No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. The shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon
conversion of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(i) and Section 2.2 (together with dividends or other distributions (if any) or any cash payment (if any) pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section
2.4, respectively) shall be deemed to have been delivered or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of
Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, (i) all holders of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights
as stockholders of the Company other than the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company
Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (together with dividends or other distributions (if any) or
any cash payment (if any) that the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section
2.4, respectively) and (ii) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further
registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company.

6

(d) Post-Effective Time Surrender. If, after the Effective Time, any Company Certificated Shares are presented to Parent or
the Surviving Corporation for any reason, such Company Certificated Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration
that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (together with dividends or other distributions (if any)
or any cash payment (if any) that the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4,
respectively), subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws.

(e) Termination of Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. Any portion of the shares or funds (including any interest received
with respect thereto) made available to the Exchange Agent that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Common Stock on the first
anniversary of the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent upon demand, and any such holder of Company Common Stock who has not complied
with Section 2.2(b) prior to such time shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar
Laws) for delivery of the Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) and any dividends
or other distributions (if any) or any cash payment (if any) that such holder has the right to receive with Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, respectively. Any shares or funds remaining unclaimed by the holders of Company Common Stock immediately prior to
such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto immediately
prior to such time on which any payment in respect hereof would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity pursuant
to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Company, the Exchange
Agent or their respective affiliates will be liable to any holder of Company Common Stock for the Per Share Merger Consideration (or any
dividends or other distributions or any cash payable in connection therewith in accordance with Section 2.3 and Section
2.4, respectively) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Company Certificated Shares shall have been lost,
stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificated Shares, upon
the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof
pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (together with dividends or other distributions (if any) or any cash payment (if any) that
the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, respectively). Parent may,
in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Merger Consideration (and any dividends
or other distributions (if any) or any cash payment (if any) that the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, respectively), require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificated Shares to deliver a
bond in a reasonable sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving
Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Company Certificated Shares alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed.

7

2.3 Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to shares
of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock converted
into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) until such holder shall comply
with the provisions of Section 2.2(b). Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following the surrender of any such shares
of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(b), such holder shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or distributions,
without interest, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the Parent Common Stock exchangeable for such Company Common Stock
pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.9).

2.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of shares of Company
Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i), and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote
or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Company Common
Stock converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) that would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of
Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock delivered by such holder in accordance with Section
2.2(b)) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the Parent
Closing Stock Price. Company and Parent acknowledge that payment of any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to and in accordance
with this Section 2.4 was not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes
of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of Parent Common
Stock.

2.5 Further Assurances. From and after the Effective Time, the respective officers of Parent and the Surviving Corporation,
as applicable, shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or any Parent Party, any deeds, bills
of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or any Parent Party, any other actions
and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to
and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, as a result
of, or in connection with, the Merger.

2.6 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Company Options.

(i) At the Effective Time,
by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders thereof, each
In-the-Money Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by an individual
who, as of immediately after the Effective Time, will constitute an “employee” of Parent within the meaning of Form S-8
(a “ Continuing Service Provider ”), whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by Parent and
converted into an option to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.6(a)(i) (each, an
“ Assumed Option ”). Each such Assumed Option shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and
conditions as applied to the corresponding In-the-Money Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including vesting
and exercisability terms) except that, as of the Effective Time, each such Assumed Option shall constitute an option to acquire that
number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of
shares of Company Common Stock subject to the corresponding In-the-Money Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time
multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Merger Consideration, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal
to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of the corresponding In-the-Money Company Option by (B) the
Per Share Merger Consideration.

8

(ii) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders
thereof, each In-the-Money Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time that is not held
by a Continuing Service Provider shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect
of each Net Share covered by such In-the-Money Company Option, less applicable Tax withholdings (provided, that such withholdings shall
be satisfied by way of net settlement).

(iii) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders
thereof, each Out-of-the-Money Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled
without any payment in respect thereof.

(b) Company RSU Awards.

(i) At
the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or holders thereof,
(A) each Company RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a non-employee member of the Company
Board, and (B) each Company RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and vested but not yet settled shall,
in each case, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company
Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, less applicable Tax withholdings (provided,
that such withholdings shall be satisfied by way of net settlement).

(ii) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or holders
thereof, each Company RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than a Company RSU Award covered in Section 2.6(b)(i)) shall be assumed by Parent and converted into a restricted stock unit award covering shares of Parent Common
Stock (each, an “ Assumed RSU Award ”) in accordance with this Section 2.6(b)(ii). Each such Assumed RSU
Award shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Company RSU Award
immediately prior to the Effective Time (including service-vesting and settlement terms, but excluding any performance-based vesting conditions)
except that, as of the Effective Time, each such Assumed RSU Award shall cover that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded
down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the corresponding
Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Merger Consideration.

9

(c) Certain Non-US Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.6, if Parent determines
that, for holders of Company Equity Awards employed outside of the United States, the treatment of Company Equity Awards prescribed by
this Section 2.6 would reasonably be expected to cause an administrative burden to Parent, Parent may require that such awards
be converted into cash-based awards that otherwise have the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Equity Awards held
by such individuals or that such awards be cashed out at the Closing based on the value of the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(d) Company ESPP. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall take all actions with respect
to the Company ESPP that are necessary to provide that: (i) with respect to any offering periods in effect as of the date of this
Agreement (the “ Current ESPP Offering Periods ”), no employee who is not a participant in a Current ESPP Offering Period
as of the date of this Agreement may become a participant in the Current ESPP Offering Period, and no participant may increase the percentage
amount of his or her payroll deduction election from that in effect on the date of this Agreement for such Current ESPP Offering Periods;
(ii) subject to the consummation of the Merger, the Company ESPP shall terminate effective immediately prior to the Effective Time;
(iii) if the Current ESPP Offering Periods terminate prior to the Effective Time, then the Company ESPP shall be suspended and no
new offering period shall be commenced under the Company ESPP prior to the termination of this Agreement; and (iv) if any Current
ESPP Offering Period is still in effect at the Effective Time, then the last day of such Current ESPP Offering Period shall be accelerated
to a date that is no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Other Actions.

(i) Prior to the Effective
Time, the Company shall pass such resolutions and take such other actions as are necessary so as to cause the treatment of the
Company Equity Awards and the Company ESPP as contemplated by this Section 2.6.

(ii) On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall file, or have on file with the SEC, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any
successor form) relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Assumed Options and Assumed RSU Awards, and
Parent shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as Assumed Options or Assumed
RSU Awards remain outstanding.

10

2.7 Treatment of Company Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the
Company, Parent or Merger Sub, or the holders thereof, each Company Warrant outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall be cancelled without any payment in respect thereof.

2.8 Estimated Closing Statement. No earlier than twenty (20) Business Days nor later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to
the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Acquiror a statement (the “ Estimated Closing Statement ”), certified
by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth (a) a good faith estimated unaudited balance sheet of the Company and (b)
the Company’s good faith estimate of the Company Cash Balance, in each case, as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on the Closing Date.
The Company shall deliver supporting calculations and documentation of such calculations (including with respect to any deductions contemplated
by the definition of Company Cash Balance and reflected in such calculations), in detail reasonably acceptable to Parent, concurrently
with the delivery of such Estimated Closing Statement. The Company shall consult in good faith with Parent and any Parent Representatives
with respect to the preparation of, and with respect to any updates reasonably requested by the Parent or the Parent Representatives to,
the Estimated Closing Statement until the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Subject to such good faith consultation
by the Company and any updates to the Estimated Closing Statement resulting therefrom, the Company Cash Balance set forth in the Estimated
Closing Statement as of such fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed the final Company Cash Balance for purposes
of calculating the Aggregate Consideration Amount.

2.9 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent, the Section
102 Trustee and any TASE member shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement,
such amounts, if any, as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision
of applicable Law. To the extent that any withholding obligation cannot be satisfied by the retention of cash amounts otherwise payable
hereunder, each of Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent, the Section 102 Trustee and any
TASE member may, in their sole discretion and without requiring the prior consent of the applicable recipient (except where required by
applicable Law), sell or instruct to sell, on behalf of such recipient, such portion of the shares of Parent Common Stock otherwise
deliverable to such recipient as is necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding obligation. Neither
Parent nor the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent, the Section 102 Trustee and any TASE member shall
have any liability to the recipient for the market price obtained in connection with any such sale or for any market fluctuations or delays
in effecting such sale, and the net cash proceeds from any such sale (after deducting the applicable Tax withholding amounts and any brokerage
fees, commissions, or other transaction costs) shall be remitted to the recipient as soon as reasonably practicable. The parties shall
reasonably cooperate with each other in good faith to minimize any such deduction or withholding, including, to the extent feasible and
practicable in the circumstances, by seeking appropriate tax rulings. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted
and withheld amounts (a) shall be remitted by Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent, the
Section 102 Trustee or any TASE member, as the case may be, to the applicable Governmental Entity as required by applicable Law and (b)
shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding
was made.

2.10 Tax
Treatment. Each of Parent, SoundHound, Inc., Intermediate Sub, Merger Sub and the Company intends that the exchange of shares of
Company Common Stock for the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger be treated as a transaction described in Section
1001 of the Code (the “ Intended Tax Treatment ”). None of Parent, SoundHound, Inc., Intermediate Sub, Merger Sub
or the Company or any of their affiliates shall take any position for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and applicable state, local
and non-U.S. Tax purposes) on any Tax Return, in any Tax contest or audit or in any communication (whether written or unwritten)
with any Governmental Entity that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless required by a “determination”
within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law).

Except (a) as set forth in the
disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent (the “ Company Disclosure Schedule ”) concurrent with the execution

such schedule relates); provided, that, disclosure in the Company Disclosure Schedule as to a specific representation or warranty
shall qualify one or more other sections of this Agreement to the extent (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross reference) it
is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure relates to such other sections, and (b) as otherwise disclosed or identified in
the Company SEC Documents filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC on or after January 1, 2024 and at least two (2) Business Days
prior to the date hereof (other than any forward-looking disclosures contained in the “Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk

to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company and each Company
Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted
by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary,

or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “ Company Charter ”) not filed prior

of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote thereon in favor of the
adoption of this Agreement (the “ Required Company Vote ”), no stockholder votes are necessary to adopt this Agreement

general equitable principles or by the discretion of any Governmental Entity before which any Proceeding seeking enforcement may be brought
(the “ Enforceability Limitations ”).

14

(b) The Company Board has adopted resolutions irrevocably, affirmatively and unconditionally determining that the Parent Parties and
their respective affiliates, in each case, shall not be deemed an “Acquiring Person” (as defined in the Tax Benefits Preservation

are defined in the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan) will occur as a result of the execution of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated

Plan Waiver ”). The Company has previously provided true and complete copies of (i) the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan Waiver
and (ii) the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan and all amendments thereto to the Parent Parties. Other than the Tax Benefits Preservation
Plan, the Company has no rights plan, “poison-pill” or other comparable agreement or arrangement designed to have the effect
of delaying, deferring or discouraging any Person from acquiring control of the Company.

3.4 No Conflict (a). Subject to receipt of the Required Company Vote, none of the execution, delivery or performance of this

or without notice or lapse of time, or both): (a) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company Charter or the Company Bylaws
or any equivalent organizational or governing documents of any Company Subsidiary; (b) assuming that all consents, approvals, authorizations
and permits described in Section 3.5 have been obtained and all filings and notifications described in Section 3.5 have been made and any waiting periods thereunder have terminated or expired, conflict with or violate any Law applicable to the Company
or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets; or (c) require any consent or approval under, violate, conflict

than Permitted Liens) upon any of the respective properties or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary pursuant to any Company
Material Contract or any Company Permit, except, with respect to clauses (b) and (c), for any such conflicts, violations, consents, breaches,
losses, changes of control, defaults, rights, other occurrences or Liens which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

3.5 Required Filings and Consents. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Parent Parties in Section 4.4,
none of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Company, the consummation by the Company of the Merger or any
other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will require (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) any consent, approval,
authorization or permit of, or filing or registration with or notification to, any Governmental Entity, other than (a) the filing of the
Certificate of Merger as required by the DGCL, (b) compliance with any applicable requirements of any Regulatory Laws, (c) compliance
with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, Securities Act and any other applicable U.S. state or federal securities Laws, (d)

notifications to any Governmental Entity would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material
Adverse Effect. The performance of the obligations under this Agreement, and the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated
by this Agreement, in each case, will not require the publication of a prospectus or a similar offering document in Israel.

15

3.6 Compliance With Law. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is, or since January 1, 2023, has been in conflict with,
default under or violation of any Law applicable to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or by which any property or asset of the Company
or any Company Subsidiary is bound or affected, except for any conflicts, defaults or violations that have not had and would not reasonably
be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Company, no investigation
by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary is pending, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated
to the Company an intention to conduct any such investigation, except for such investigations, the outcomes of which if determined adversely
to the Company or any Company Subsidiary have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate,
a Company Material Adverse Effect.

3.7 SEC Filings; Financial Statements.

(a) The Company has filed or furnished all reports, schedules, forms, statements, registration statements, prospectuses and other documents
required to be filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act since January 1, 2024 (the
“ Company SEC Documents ”) or with the ISA under the Israeli Securities Laws since January 1, 2024 (the “ Company
ISA Documents ”). No Company Subsidiary is required to make any filings with the SEC.

(b) As of its respective filing date, and, if amended, as of the date of the last amendment prior to the date hereof, each Company
SEC Document and Company ISA Document complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Securities Act
or the Israeli Securities Laws, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC or the ISA, as applicable, promulgated thereunder
applicable to such Company SEC Document or Company ISA Document, as the case may be, and did not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company SEC Documents (including, in each case, any notes
or schedules thereto) (the “ Company Financial Statements ”) fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial condition and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of the Company and
the Company Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) as of the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in the Company Financial
Statements, and were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be specifically
indicated in the notes thereto), subject, in the case of any interim unaudited Company Financial Statements, to normal and recurring year-end
adjustments (in each case, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Company
and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) and the absence of notes and other presentation items (none of which, if presented, would
materially differ from those presented in the most recent Company Financial Statements).

16

(d) The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as

the Exchange Act) as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
are designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures and, to the extent required by applicable Law, presented in any applicable Company SEC Document that is a report
on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, or any amendment thereto, its conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
as of the end of the period covered by such report or amendment based on such evaluation. The Company’s management has not identified
any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting that would
reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information
and the Company does not have Knowledge of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a
significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(e) The Company and the Company Subsidiaries do not have any material liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether absolute or
contingent, asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, primary or secondary, direct or indirect, and whether or not accrued) required by
GAAP to be reflected or reserved on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company (or the notes thereto) except (i) as specifically and
adequately disclosed, reflected or reserved against in the most recent balance sheet included in the Company Financial Statements or the
notes thereto, (ii) for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of the most recent balance
sheet included in the Company Financial Statements (none of which is a liability or obligation resulting from a breach of Contract, tort,
or infringement), (iii) for liabilities and obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other
transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) for liabilities and obligations that have not been and would not reasonably be expected to be,
individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

3.8 Absence of Certain Changes or Events.

(a) Since January 1, 2025 through the date hereof, except for the discussion and negotiation of this Agreement, the Company and the
Company Subsidiaries have conducted their respective businesses in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent
with past practice.

17

(b) Since January 1, 2025 through the date hereof, there has not been any Company Material Adverse Effect or any change, event or development,
that had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Since January 1, 2026 through the date hereof, there has not been any action taken by the Company or any Company Subsidiary that,
if taken during the period between the date of hereof through the Effective Time, would constitute a breach of Sections 5.1(a), 5.1(d), 5.1(f), 5.1(g), 5.1(i), 5.1(l), 5.1(o) or 5.1(q).

(b) As of its respective filing date, and, if amended, as of the date of the last amendment prior to the date hereof, each Parent SEC
Document complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the
rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such Parent SEC Document and did not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) The consolidated financial statements of Parent included in the Parent SEC Documents (including, in each case, any notes or schedules
thereto) (the “ Parent Financial Statements ”) fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition
and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries
(on a consolidated basis) as of the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in the Parent Financial Statements, and were prepared
in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), subject,
in the case of any interim unaudited Parent Financial Statements, to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of notes and other presentation
items.

(d) Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such
terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 and paragraph (e) of Rule 15d-15 under the
Exchange Act) as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Parent’s disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by Parent in the reports that it files
or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and
forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to Parent’s management as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. Parent’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of Parent’s disclosure controls and procedures and,
to the extent required by applicable Law, presented in any applicable Parent SEC Document that is a report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q,
or any amendment thereto, its conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by such report or amendment based on such evaluation. Parent’s management has not identified any significant deficiencies
or material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting that would reasonably be expected to
adversely affect Parent’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and Parent does not have Knowledge
of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Parent’s internal
control over financial reporting.

(e) Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries do not have any material liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether absolute or contingent,
asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, primary or secondary, direct or indirect, and whether or not accrued) required by GAAP to be
reflected or reserved on a consolidated balance sheet of Parent (or the notes thereto) except (i) as disclosed, reflected or reserved
against in the most recent balance sheet included in the Parent Financial Statements or the notes thereto, (ii) for liabilities and obligations
incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the Parent Financial Statements,
(iii) for liabilities and obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated
hereby and (iv) for liabilities and obligations that have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 Information Supplied. The information supplied or to be supplied by Parent in writing expressly for inclusion or incorporation
in the Registration Statement shall not at the time the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein
not misleading, except that no representation or warranty is made by Parent with respect to statements made therein based on information
supplied by the Company or any of its Company Representatives for inclusion therein. The information supplied or to be supplied by Parent
in writing expressly for inclusion in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which shall be included in the Registration Statement, shall not,
on the date(s) the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is first mailed to the stockholders of Parent or at the Effective Time, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that no representation or warranty is made by

contemplated hereby and, if the Company Stockholders Meeting is also the Company’s annual stockholders meeting, proposals customarily
brought in connection with the Company’s annual stockholders meeting) to Company stockholders in connection with the Company Stockholders
Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent. The Company shall not change the record date or adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders
Meeting without Parent’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders
Meeting without Parent’s prior written consent (A) after good faith consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel

a proposal that would reasonably be expected to materially impair, prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; or (x) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing (any action set forth in the foregoing clauses (iii),
(iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (ix) or (x) (to the extent related to the foregoing clauses (iii), (iv) or (v)), a “ Change of Company

agreement as to which the Company has made such a demand prior to the date hereof) and shall remove all access to any dataroom or electronic
materials from such Person.

50

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.3(a), if at any time following the date hereof and
prior to obtaining the Required Company Vote (i) the Company has received a bona fide unsolicited written Company Acquisition Proposal
from a third party, (ii) the Company has not breached this Section 6.3 with respect to such Company Acquisition Proposal,
and (iii) the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with
its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, based on information then available, that such Company
Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Company Superior Proposal, the Company may, including
through one or more of the Company Representatives, (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to
the third party making such Company Acquisition Proposal, its representatives and potential sources of financing and (B) participate
in discussions or negotiations with the third party making such Company Acquisition Proposal regarding such Company Acquisition Proposal; provided that the Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, take the actions described in the foregoing
clauses (A) and (B) unless the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with
outside counsel, that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, further that the Company (x) shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and Company Representatives not to, disclose any
information to such third party without first entering into a Company Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Person and (y) shall
provide to Parent any such information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries provided or made available to such other third
party which was not previously provided or made available to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with furnishing such information
to such third party.

(c) If, at any time following the date hereof, the Company or any Company Subsidiary receives any (i) Company Acquisition Proposal
(or inquiry, offer or request for discussions or negotiations that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal),
(ii) any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary by any Person who has made or would reasonably
be expected to make a Company Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) any inquiry or request for discussions or negotiations regarding any Company
Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) (i) notify Parent orally or in writing
of the receipt of such proposal, inquiry or request and (ii) advise Parent if the Company determines to begin providing information in
connection with, or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning, a Company Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Section 6.3(b).
Such notice provided by the Company to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.3(c) shall include (I) the identity of the Person
making the Company Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, offer or request, (II) if in writing, a copy of such Company Acquisition Proposal,
inquiry, offer or request (and, if available, drafts of any Contract to effectuate such Company Acquisition Proposal) and copies of any
financing commitments (but excluding any fee letters that are customarily redacted with respect thereto) received by the Company in connection
therewith and (III) if made orally, a reasonably detailed summary of the material terms and conditions of such Company Acquisition
Proposal. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance
with Section 8.1 and the Effective Time, the Company shall (i) keep Parent and Merger Sub reasonably informed of the
status and any material changes to the material terms and conditions of any such Company Acquisition Proposal (including by providing
unredacted copies of all amendments and proposed amendments provided to or by such Person) and (ii) shall notify Parent promptly
(and, in any event, within 24 hours) after it first enters into discussions or negotiations concerning such Company Acquisition Proposal
or provides non-public information or data to any Person relating thereto.

51

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.3(a), if following the date hereof and prior to obtaining
the Required Company Vote (i) (A) the Company has received a bona fide unsolicited written Company Acquisition Proposal (which is not
withdrawn) that the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside
counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, constitutes a Company Superior Proposal or (B) the Company Board
(or any duly authorized committee thereof) determines that a Company Intervening Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Company
Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the
failure to effect a Change of Company Board Recommendation in response to such Company Superior Proposal or Company Intervening Event
would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company Board may, at any time prior to obtaining the Required
Company Vote, effect a Change of Company Board Recommendation with respect to such Company Superior Proposal or Company Intervening
Event (as applicable) or fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, subject to the requirements
of this Section 6.3(d) and Section 6.3(e).

(e) The Company shall not be entitled to effect a Change of Company Board Recommendation pursuant to Section 6.3(d) unless,
in each case:

(i) the Company shall have provided to Parent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice (the “ Company Notice
Period ”) of the Company’s intention to take such action, which notice shall include, (A) with respect to a Company Acquisition
Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Company Acquisition Proposal, and a copy of the available proposed transaction agreement
to be entered into in respect of such Company Acquisition Proposal, or (B) with respect to a Company Intervening Event, a reasonably detailed
summary of the Company Intervening Event that is the basis of such action;

(ii) during the Company Notice Period, if requested by Parent, the Company shall have, and shall have caused its legal and financial
advisors to have, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent regarding any amendment to this Agreement or any other agreement proposed
by Parent intended to (A) with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal, cause the relevant proposal to no longer constitute a Company
Superior Proposal or, (B) with respect to a Company Intervening Event, permit the Company Board (consistent with its fiduciary duties
under applicable Law) to not make a Change of Company Board Recommendation; and

(iii) the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) shall have considered in good faith any adjustments and/or proposed
amendments to this Agreement (including a change to the price terms hereof) and other agreements that may be offered in writing by Parent
no later than 11:59 a.m., New York City time, on the last day of the Company Notice Period and shall have reasonably determined again
in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, that the
failure to effect a Change of Company Board Recommendation pursuant to this Section 6.3 would be inconsistent with its fiduciary
duties under applicable Law.

52

In the event of any material
revisions to such Company Superior Proposal offered in writing by the party making such Company Superior Proposal or any material change
to the facts and circumstances relating to a Company Intervening Event, as applicable, the Company shall be required to deliver a new
written notice to Parent and to again comply with the requirements of this Section 6.3(e) with respect to such new written
notice, except that the Company Notice Period shall be three (3) Business Days with respect to any such revised Company Superior Proposal,
but no such new written notice shall shorten the original Company Notice Period.

(f) Notwithstanding a Change of Company Board Recommendation or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, unless this
Agreement has been validly terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.1, the Company shall cause the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, to be submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholders
Meeting in order to obtain the Required Company Vote.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 6.3 shall prohibit the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) from
(i) disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange
Act; or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company to comply with applicable Law with regard to a Company Acquisition
Proposal (it being agreed that the issuance by the Company or the Company Board of a “stop, look and listen” communication
to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, shall not constitute a Change of Company
Board Recommendation).

(h) Any violation of the restrictions provided in this Section 6.3 by any Company Subsidiary or Company Representative, as applicable,
shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.3 by the Company.

(i) The Company agrees that it shall promptly inform the Company Representatives of the obligations undertaken in this Section 6.3.
Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall (x) permit the Company to terminate this Agreement or (y) affect any other obligation of the
Company under this Agreement. Unless this Agreement shall have been earlier terminated, the Company shall not submit to the vote of its
stockholders any Company Acquisition Proposal.

53

6.4 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

(a) The Company and Parent shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate
action and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under
applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly
as practicable after the date hereof, (ii) take such actions as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under
Regulatory Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, (iii) obtain from any Governmental
Entities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained by Parent or the Company,
or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in order to effect the Closing by not later than two Business Days prior to the Outside Date,
and to avoid any Proceeding by any Governmental Entity (including those in connection with Regulatory Laws), in connection with the authorization,
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, (iv) cause
the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Article 7 and (v) as promptly as practicable, make or cause to be made all necessary
applications and filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, and pay any fees due in connection therewith (all such fees
to be borne by Parent to the extent related to applications, filings or submissions with respect to this Agreement and the Merger required
under any Regulatory Laws), with respect to this Agreement and the Merger required under any Regulatory Laws and any other applicable
Law. The Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other in connection with (x) preparing and filing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
and Registration Statement and any Other Filings, (y) determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental
Entity is required, in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (z) seeking
any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers or making any such filings. The Company and Parent shall furnish to each other all information
required for any application or other filing under the rules and regulations of any applicable Law in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company shall promptly and diligently (and, in any event, within five (5) calendar days following
the date hereof) use reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent all information available to the Company or in the Company’s possession
as requested by Parent and required to determine a final list of jurisdictions for the purposes of Section 7.1(b) of the Company
Disclosure Schedule. The Company shall not consent to any voluntary extension of the Outside Date or otherwise delay the Closing at the
behest of any Governmental Entity without the consent Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent, and
its affiliates, in connection with efforts to avoid or eliminate impediments under any antitrust, merger control, competition, or trade
regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger, are not obligated to, and, without the prior
written consent of Parent, the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective affiliates shall not, (A) propose, negotiate, commit to,
or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, licensing or disposition of any assets, properties
or businesses of Parent or the Company or any of their respective affiliates, (B) terminate, amend or assign existing relationships and
contractual rights and obligations, (C) grant any right or commercial or other accommodation to, or enter into any material commercial
contractual or other commercial relationship with, any third party, or (D) accept any operational restrictions or otherwise take or commit
to take actions that limit Parent’s, Merger Sub’s, the Surviving Corporation’s or any of their respective affiliate’s
freedom of action with respect to, or its or their ability to retain, any of the assets, properties, licenses, rights, product lines,
operations or businesses of Parent, the Company or any of their respective affiliates. In addition, Parent, at Parent’s sole discretion,
and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to defend through litigation and through appeal on the merits any claim
asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Order (whether temporary, preliminary
or permanent) that would prevent the Closing from occurring as promptly as practicable (and in any event, no later than the Outside Date),
including seeking to lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order which may adversely affect the ability of the parties to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, until the issuance of a final, non-appealable Order. The parties shall jointly develop,
consult and cooperate with one another regarding the strategy for obtaining any necessary approval of, or responding to any request from,
inquiry by, or investigation by (including directing the timing, nature and substance of all such responses), any Governmental Entity
in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including determining the timing and content of any registrations,
filings, agreements, forms, notices, petitions, statements, submissions of information, applications and other documents, communications
and correspondence contemplated by, made in accordance with, or subject to this Section 6.4. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall, on behalf of the parties, control and direct all communications and strategy in dealing with
any Governmental Entity under any Regulatory Laws; provided that, Parent shall consider in good faith the views and comments of
the Company and its outside counsel with respect to such communications and strategies.

54

(b) The Company shall give (or shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to give) any notices to third parties, and use, and cause the Company
Subsidiaries to use, reasonable best efforts to obtain the third party consents, approvals or waivers identified on Section 3.4 and 3.5 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (provided, that the Company shall not be required to make or agree to make any
payment or accept any material conditions or obligations with respect thereto), and the Company and Parent shall coordinate and cooperate
in seeking any such consents, approvals or waivers. In the event that the Company shall fail to obtain any third party consent described
in the first sentence of this Section 6.4(a), the Company shall take any such actions reasonably requested by Parent (at Parent’s
sole cost and expense), to minimize any adverse effect upon Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries),
and their respective businesses resulting after, or which would reasonably be expected to result after, the Effective Time from the failure
to obtain such consent.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.4, and subject to Section 6.6, each
party shall: (i) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation or Proceeding
by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) keep
the other parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation or Proceeding; and (iii) promptly inform
the other parties of any communication to or from any Governmental Entity regarding the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Each party shall consult and cooperate with the other parties, and shall consider in good faith the views of the other
parties in connection with any filing, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted
in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, except as may be prohibited
by any Governmental Entity or by any Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation or Proceeding, each party shall
permit authorized representatives of the other parties to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry,
investigation or Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted
to any Governmental Entity in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation or Proceeding.

(d) Parent shall not, and shall cause its affiliates not to, acquire or agree to acquire a substantial portion of the equity or assets
of, or other interests in, or merge or consolidate with (or agree to merge or consolidate with), any corporation, partnership, association
or other business organization, or any business unit, division, subsidiary thereof, if such action would reasonably be expected to (i)
result in any Governmental Entity seeking or entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give any party, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations
of any other party prior to the consummation of the Merger. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall exercise, consistent
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete unilateral control and supervision over their respective business operations.

55

6.5 Certain Notices. From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement
in accordance with Article 8, unless prohibited by applicable Law, each party shall promptly notify the other party of any material
Effect that would reasonably be expected to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger or any other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied, including of the breach by a party of, or any other failure of a party to comply with
or satisfy any, representation, warranty, covenant, condition or agreement made, or to be complied with or satisfied, by it pursuant to
this Agreement which would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in any condition to the obligations of
any party to effect the Merger not to be satisfied (provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall not cure any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise
limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice). Any such notice pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall not affect any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and any failure to make such notice (in
and of itself) shall not be taken into account in determining whether the conditions set forth in Article 7 have been satisfied
or give rise to any right of termination set forth in Article 8.

6.6 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall promptly advise Parent, and give Parent the opportunity to participate in the
defense, of any claim, demand, other correspondence related to stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors and officers,
or any of them, in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “ Company Transaction
Litigation ”), including the Merger, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding any such Company Transaction Litigation.
The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding the defense or settlement of any such Company Transaction
Litigation, and shall consider in good faith Parent’s views with respect to such Company Transaction Litigation. The Company shall
not issue any supplemental disclosure, make any commitments with respect to, or otherwise settle or agree to settle any such Company Transaction
Litigation without Parent’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For purposes
of this Section 6.6, “participate” means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant
decisions with respect to any such Company Transaction Litigation by the Company (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between
the Company and its counsel is not undermined), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Company Transaction
Litigation, which the Company shall consider in good faith, but will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over
such Company Transaction Litigation except for the settlement consent set forth above.

6.7 Public Announcements. So long as this Agreement is in effect, Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the
Company and the Company Subsidiaries, on the other, shall not issue any press release or make any public statement with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (a) as may be required by applicable Law, or the rules or regulations of any applicable United
States securities exchange or regulatory or governmental body to which the relevant party is subject, in which case the party required
to make the release or announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow each other party reasonable time to comment
on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, or (b) is consistent with prior communications previously consented
to by the other parties. The press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint release of, and shall
not be issued prior to the approval of each of, the Company and Parent.

56

6.8 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the year in which the Closing occurs, Parent shall,
or shall cause one of its affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to provide each Continuing Employee with
(i) a total target cash opportunity (i.e., inclusive of an annual base salary or base wage rate and a target annual cash bonus opportunity,
and excluding an equity or equity-linked compensation opportunity) and (ii) employee health and welfare benefits, in each case, that is
or are, in Parent’s reasonable discretion, either (A) no less favorable in the aggregate than such target cash opportunity or benefits
in effect for the Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing, or (B) no less favorable in the aggregate than such target cash
opportunity or benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent or Parent’s affiliates. With respect to each Continuing
Employee, if such employee experiences a “qualifying termination” (as defined on Section 6.8(a) of the Company Disclosure
Schedule) during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the year in which the Closing occurs, Parent
shall, or shall cause one of its affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), to provide severance payments
to such employee in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth on Section 6.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (taking
into account such employee’s years of service as required pursuant to Section 6.8(b)).

(b) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans
of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Continuing Employees after the Effective Time (the “ New Plans ”),
each Continuing Employee shall, subject to applicable law and applicable tax qualification requirements, be credited with his or her years
of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such
Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan in which
such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that, the
foregoing shall not apply (i) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits, (ii) for purposes of any equity-based
incentive plan, long-term incentive plan, pension plan, retiree welfare plan, or (iii) to any benefit plan that is a frozen plan or provides
grandfathered benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately
eligible to participate, without any waiting time (other than any administrative delays in connection with any transition to Parent’s
tax qualified defined contribution plan), in any New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is of the same type as the Company
Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “ Old
Plans ”), and (ii)(A) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Continuing
Employee, Parent or its applicable Subsidiary shall cause all preexisting condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such
New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived
under the Old Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) Parent and its applicable
Subsidiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her
covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding
New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible and maximum out-of-pocket requirements
applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance
with such New Plan.

(c) Unless otherwise directed
by Parent in writing delivered to the Company not less than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company and each of the
Company Subsidiaries shall adopt resolutions and take all such corporate action as is necessary to terminate each (i) 401(k) plan maintained,
sponsored or contributed to by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Company 401(k) Plans ”),
in each case, effective as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) each Company Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified
deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall provide Parent with evidence that
such Company 401(k) Plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans have been properly terminated, and the form of such termination
documents shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Parent. In the event of the termination of any Company 401(k) Plan pursuant
to this Section 6.8(a) (each such terminated Company 401(k) Plan, a “ Terminated Company 401(k) Plan ”), Parent
or the applicable Parent Subsidiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a defined contribution plan that is qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Code, that includes a cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the
Code and that is established or maintained by Parent or the applicable Parent Subsidiary to accept eligible rollover distributions (as
defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from current and former employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect
to such individuals’ account balances (excluding loans) under such Terminated Company 401(k) Plan, if elected by any such individuals.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) guarantee
employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to terminate the employment of,
any Continuing Employee for any reason; (ii) require the Company, Parent or the Surviving Corporation to continue any Company Benefit
Plan, Parent Benefit Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof; or (iii) amend, terminate, establish or create
any Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plans or arrangements. The provisions of this Section 6.8 are solely for the benefit of the parties, and no Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded
for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 6.8 shall create such rights in
any such persons.

57

6.9 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) For a period beginning at the Effective Time and ending six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and
Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless all past and present directors and officers of the Company
or any Company Subsidiary (the “ Covered Persons ”), subject to applicable Law, to the same extent such Covered Persons
are indemnified as of the date hereof by the Company or any Company Subsidiary pursuant to applicable Law, the Company Charter, the Company
Bylaws, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational or governing documents) of any Company Subsidiary or
indemnification agreements (that have been made available to Parent prior to the date hereof), if any, in existence on the date hereof
with any directors or officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any Proceedings arising out of acts or omissions in their
capacity as directors or officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, as applicable, occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.
The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless the Covered Persons
to the fullest extent permitted by Law, for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the adoption and approval of this Agreement
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation
to, advance expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in the defense of any Proceeding or investigation with respect
to the matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.9(a) in accordance with the procedures set forth with
respect to any Covered Person in the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational
documents) of any Company Subsidiary, or indemnification agreements (that have been made available to Parent prior to the date hereof),
if any, in existence on the date hereof with any directors and officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary; provided, however,
that the Covered Person to whom expenses are advanced shall undertake to repay such advanced expenses by the Surviving Corporation, if
it is ultimately determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Covered Person is not entitled
to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.9(a). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Proceeding (whether
arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is made against such persons with respect to matters subject to indemnification hereunder
on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 6.9(a) shall continue in effect
until the final disposition of such Proceeding.

(b) For not less than six years from and after the Effective Time, the organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation shall
contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, indemnification of and advancement of expenses to Covered Persons for
periods at or prior to the Effective Time than are currently set forth with respect to any Covered Person, in the Company Charter, the
Company Bylaws, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or equivalent organizational documents, of any Company Subsidiary in existence
on the date hereof. For not less than six years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall not amend, repeal or otherwise
modify the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ certificates of
incorporation or by-laws or similar organizational documents as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time in any manner that would
adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Covered Person. In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with
or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or Surviving Corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers
or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent or the Surviving Corporation
(as applicable) shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation (as
applicable) assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.8(a), unless such assumption occurs by operation of Law.

58

(c) For not less than six years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving
Corporation shall, maintain in effect, the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering
acts or omissions occurring (or alleged to occur) prior to or at the Effective Time with respect to Covered Persons; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.9(c) more than
an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance. In the event that, but for the proviso
to the immediately preceding sentence, the Surviving Corporation would be required to expend more than 300% of current annual premiums,
the Surviving Corporation shall obtain the maximum amount of such insurance obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to 300% of
current annual premiums. In lieu of the foregoing, the Company, in consultation with Parent, may (and at the request of Parent, the Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to) purchase at or prior to the Effective Time, and/or the Surviving Corporation may purchase following
the Effective Time, a six-year “tail” prepaid officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy in respect of
acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such Covered Person for an amount not to exceed 300% of current
annual premiums. If such “tail” policy has been established by Parent or the Company, the Surviving Corporation shall not
terminate such policy and shall cause all obligations of Parent or the Company thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Following the Effective Time, the obligations under this Section 6.8(a) shall not be terminated or modified in any
manner that is adverse to the Covered Persons (and their respective successors and assigns) without the consent of such affected Covered
Person (or their respective successors and assigns) (it being expressly agreed that the Covered Persons (including successors and assigns)
shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.8(a)).

6.10 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be reasonable necessary
or appropriate to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock)
or acquisitions of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Parent Common Stock) resulting from the transactions
contemplated hereby by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect
to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.11 Listing Matters. The Company and Parent shall cause the Company’s securities to be de-listed from the Nasdaq and the
TASE and de-registered under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time; provided that such delisting
and termination shall not be effective until immediately after the Effective Time. Parent shall, and the Company shall cooperate with
Parent to, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger (including
shares of Parent Common Stock to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of Assumed Options) to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq,
subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time.

59

6.12 Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, the Merger or any other
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then the Company and the Company Board shall take all action reasonably available to it to
render such Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

6.13 Tax Benefits Preservation Plan. The Company acknowledges and agrees that it shall not (a) redeem the Company Rights, (b)
amend the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan or (c) take any action that would allow any Person (as defined in the Tax Benefits Preservation
Plan) other than the Parent Parties to “Beneficially Own” or become the “Beneficial Owner” or acquire “Beneficial
Ownership” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan) of 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of Company
Common Stock without causing a “Distribution Date”, “Flip-In Trigger Date” or “Triggering Event” (as
such terms are defined in the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan) to occur. The Company Board shall not (i) make a determination that the
Parent Parties or any of their respective affiliates or associates is an “Acquiring Person” (as defined in the Tax Benefits
Preservation Plan) for purposes of the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan or (ii) make a determination contrary to, or in any way revoke,
rescind or modify the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan Waiver. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary,
including, for avoidance of doubt, amending the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, to cause the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan to terminate,
and all outstanding Company Rights to expire without value, immediately prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Closing, the Company
shall provide Parent with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Parent, demonstrating the Company’s compliance with the covenant
set forth in the preceding sentence.

6.14 Cooperation as to Integration.

(a) From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 8, the Company shall, and shall cause each applicable Company Subsidiary, and cause (or cause the applicable Company Subsidiary
to cause) each director, officer or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, and direct (or cause the applicable Company Subsidiary
to direct) any other applicable Company Representative to, use its reasonable best efforts to reasonably cooperate with Parent and the
Parent Representatives as may be reasonably requested by Parent and the Parent Representatives from time to time, including by complying
with the provisions of Section 6.2(a) (subject to the limitations contained therein), in connection with planning for the integration
of the business operations, systems, processes and personnel of Parent and the Company (collectively, “ Integration Planning Activities ”),
in each case, subject to the proviso in Section 6.2(a) and applicable Law (including Regulatory Laws and Privacy and Security Laws).

(b) In furtherance of the Integration Planning Activities contemplated by Section 6.14(a), and subject to the proviso in Section
6.2(a) and applicable Law (including Regulatory Laws and Privacy and Security Laws), the Company shall, and shall cause each applicable
Company Subsidiary, and cause (or cause the applicable Company Subsidiary to cause) each director, officer or employee of the Company
or any Company Subsidiary, and direct (or cause the applicable Company Subsidiary to direct) any other applicable Company Representative
to, reasonably cooperate with Parent (during normal business hours and in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operation
of any business conducted by the Company or any Company Subsidiary), as may be reasonably requested by Parent or the Parent Representatives
from time to time in connection with the preparation, development and implementation of a comprehensive integration plan covering all
material functional areas of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries’ respective businesses and the identification of any operational
efficiencies and revenue enhancement opportunities arising therefrom.

60

(c) Upon the Company’s written request to Parent, Parent will promptly reimburse the Company or any applicable Company Subsidiary
on an as-incurred basis for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred or otherwise payable by the Company
or any Company Subsidiary in connection with their cooperation or efforts pursuant to this Section 6.14; provided, that,
no costs or expenses incurred or otherwise payable by the Company or any Company Subsidiary in respect of services provided by a third
party service provider to the Company or any Company Subsidiary in connection with any Integration Planning Activities shall be reimbursed
by Parent pursuant to this Section 6.14(c) unless the Company or such Company Subsidiary shall have received Parent’s prior written
consent to engage such third party service provider prior to the commencement of any such services.

(d) The parties acknowledge that any Integration Planning Activities are intended solely for the purpose of facilitating the orderly
integration of the businesses of Parent and the Company following the Closing, and shall not involve the implementation of any integration
steps or operational changes prior the Effective Time (other than planning activities in anticipation thereof). Nothing in this Section
6.14 shall be construed to permit Parent to, directly or indirectly, control or direct the operations of the Company or any Company
Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time.

6.15 Repayment of 2026 Notes; Note Restructuring Transactions. Prior to the Closing, (a) the Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to repurchase (effective as of or prior to the Closing) in full all of the 2026 Notes in accordance with that certain Indenture,
dated as of December 4, 2020, by and between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and any other agreements
governing the 2026 Notes; provided, that such reasonable best efforts shall not require the Company to (i) repurchase any 2026
Notes at a price that exceeds the face amount thereof or (ii) utilize cash and cash equivalents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries
that the Company, acting reasonably and in good faith, determines is reasonably necessary and appropriate for the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries to utilize for the payment of expenses in the ordinary course consistent with past practices; and (b) each of Parent and
the Company shall, and shall each use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause each holder of Secured Notes to, cause the Notes
Restructuring Transactions to be consummated in all material respects in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Notes Restructuring Agreement contemporaneously with, and contingent upon, the Closing.

6.16 Director Resignations. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent resignations,

(a) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e), or by either the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d) at a time when Parent would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e),
then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent on the second (2nd) Business Day following such termination a termination fee
equal to (i) $5,000,000, plus (ii) an amount equal to Parent’s documented Expenses incurred prior to (and including) the

all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 7 have been satisfied (other than conditions that by their nature can only
be satisfied on the Closing Date) or waived by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, other than the condition set forth in Section 7.2(f); provided that, the failure of such condition to be satisfied did not primarily result from Parent’s
material breach of the provisions of the Notes Restructuring Agreement, or (y) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(i), then the Company
shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent the Company Termination Fee, no later than the second (2nd) Business Day following such termination; provided, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, solely for purposes of the Company’s obligation

shall be deemed to equal the lesser of (A) Parent’s documented Expenses actually incurred and (B) the Parent Expense Cap.

66

(d) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b), Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(g) and, in

or made known to the Company Board or senior management of the Company, and shall not have been publicly withdrawn, in each case, after
the date hereof and prior to the time of the Company Stockholders Meeting (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(d))
or the date of such termination (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(g)) and (ii) within
twelve (12) months following such termination, the Company or any Company Subsidiary enters into a definitive agreement with respect to,
or consummates, a Company Acquisition Proposal, then the Company shall pay, or caused to be paid, to Parent the Company Termination Fee
no later than two Business Days following the consummation of such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event this Agreement
is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b), Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(g), and the holders of the Secured Notes
or any of their respective Related Funds (as defined in the Notes Restructuring Agreement), in each case, were not a Person or a part
of a group of Persons (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) that submitted the Company Acquisition Proposal described in Section 8.3(d)(i) and have otherwise complied in all material respects with their obligations under the Notes Restructuring Agreement
prior to the date of such termination, the holders of the Secured Notes shall be entitled to propose to the Company a bona fide restructuring
transaction and/or that the Company become subject to a voluntary or involuntary reorganization or restructuring under applicable Laws

such termination; provided, that, upon the consummation of such restructuring transaction, (1) the Company shall pay, or cause
to be paid, to Parent an amount equal to the lesser of (I) Parent’s documented Expenses incurred prior to (and including) the date
of such termination and (II) the Parent Expense Cap and (2) without limiting the Company’s obligation pursuant to the foregoing
clause (1), the Company shall not otherwise be required to pay or cause to be paid to Parent the Company Termination Fee. For purposes
of this Section 8.3(d), the term “Company Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.4,
except that the references to “15%” and “85%” therein shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

(e) All payments under this Section 8.3 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated
in writing by Parent, or in the absence of such designation, an account established for the sole benefit of Parent.

(f) Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees (i) that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) that without these agreements the parties would not enter into this Agreement,
and (iii) that the Company Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate
Parent and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which such Company Termination Fee is payable; provided, that no payment of the Company
Termination Fee shall be considered in lieu of, or a replacement or substitution for, damages incurred in the event of Willful and Material
Breach or Fraud. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than
one occasion.

67

(g) If the Company fails to pay (or cause to be paid) the Company Termination Fee or, in the case of the penultimate sentence of Section
8.3(d), Parent’s Expenses up to the Parent Expense Cap, in each case when due, the Company shall pay to Parent, together with
the Company Termination Fee (or, in the case of the penultimate sentence of Section 8.3(d), Parent’s Expenses up to the Parent
Expense Cap), (A) interest on the Company Termination Fee (or, in the case of the penultimate sentence of Section 8.3(d), Parent’s
Expenses up to the Parent Expense Cap), from the date of termination of this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in
effect on the date that such payment was required to be made through the date that such payment was actually received and (B) Parent’s
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in the collection of such overdue amounts, including
in connection with any related Proceedings commenced. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company’s obligation
to pay or cause to be paid Parent’s Expenses pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 8.3 shall be subject to the

with their specific terms or are otherwise breached (including failing to take such actions as are required by the parties hereunder to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby), irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at Law would exist and damages would
be difficult to determine, and accordingly, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.14, (a) the parties shall
be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific performance of the terms hereof, in
each case, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, solely if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior

the obtaining of any specific performance or injunctive relief and (c) the parties shall waive, in any action for specific performance,
the defense of adequacy of a remedy at Law. The Company’s or Parent’s pursuit of specific performance at any time shall not
be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled, including
the right to pursue remedies for liabilities or damages incurred or suffered by the other party in the case of a breach of this Agreement
involving a Willful and Material Breach. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 8, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions of this Agreement (without necessity of posting bond or other security (any requirements therefor being expressly
waived)) in accordance with Section 9.12, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.

Law, requires further approval or adoption by the stockholders of Company without such further approval or adoption. This Agreement may
not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing
specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed on behalf of each of the parties in interest at the time of the amendment.

9.16 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties may, by action taken or authorized by their respective
Boards of Directors, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations
or acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties set forth in
this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the
other parties contained herein; provided, that after the Required Company Vote has been obtained, no waiver may be made that pursuant
to applicable Law requires further approval or adoption by the stockholders of the Company without such further approval or adoption.
Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered
by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance
of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
which they would otherwise have hereunder.
