B. Following the consummation of the Offer, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby, except as expressly provided in Section 2.5, (i) each issued and outstanding Share not owned by Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any Subsidiary of Company as of the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, in cash, without interest and (ii) the Company shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent as a result of the Merger.

AGREEMENT

The Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1.

THE OFFER

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Commencement of the Offer. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 8, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement but in no event more than ten (10) business days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer.

(b) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. The obligations of Purchaser to, and of Parent to cause Purchaser to, accept for payment, and pay for, any Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set forth in Annex I (collectively, the “Offer Conditions”). The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that contains the terms set forth in this Agreement, including the Minimum Condition and the other Offer Conditions. Purchaser expressly reserves the right to (i) increase the Offer Price, (ii) waive any Offer Condition and (iii) make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not (A) decrease the Closing Amount or amend the terms of the CVR or the CVR Agreement, (B) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (C) decrease the maximum number of Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (D) impose conditions or requirements to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions, (E) amend or modify any of the Offer Conditions in a manner that adversely affects, or reasonably could be expected to adversely affect, any holder of Shares in its capacity as such or (F) change or waive the Minimum Condition. The Offer may not be withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date (or any rescheduled Expiration Date) of the Offer, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.

(c) Expiration and Extension of the Offer. The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire on twenty-one (21) business days following the Offer Commencement Date (determined as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act) at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company) (the “Initial Expiration Date,” such date or such subsequent date to which the expiration of the Offer is

extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the Parties’ respective termination rights under Section 8: (i) if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, Purchaser may, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person), extend the Offer on one or more occasions, for an additional period of up to ten (10) business days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; (ii) Purchaser shall extend the Offer from time to time for: (A) any period required by any Legal Requirement, any interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof or NASDAQ applicable to the Offer; and (B) periods of up to ten (10) business days per extension, until any waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated; and (iii) if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, at the request of the Company, Purchaser shall extend the Offer on one occasion for an additional period of up to five (5) business days, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser: (1) be required to extend the Offer beyond the earliest to occur of (the “Extension Deadline”) (x) the valid termination of this Agreement in compliance with Section 8 and (y) the first business day immediately following the End Date; or (2) be permitted to extend the Offer beyond the Extension Deadline without the prior written consent of the Company. Purchaser shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.

(d) Termination of Offer. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) business days of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any Shares pursuant to the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof.

(e) Offer Documents. As promptly as practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act), Parent and Purchaser shall (i) file with the SEC a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) that will contain or incorporate by reference the Offer to Purchase and form of the related letter of transmittal and (ii) cause the Offer to Purchase and related documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares. Parent and Purchaser agree that they shall cause the Schedule TO and all exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto (which together constitute the “Offer Documents”) filed by either Parent or Purchaser with the SEC to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and other applicable Legal Requirements. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. The Company shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Parent and Purchaser or Parent’s legal counsel all information concerning the Company and the Company’s stockholders that may be required in connection with any action

contemplated by this Section 1.1(e). The Company and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. Parent and Purchaser agree to provide the Company and its counsel with any comments Parent, Purchaser or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments. Each of Parent and Purchaser shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or the Offer.

(f) Funds. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.10 and subject to Section 8.3, Parent shall cause to be provided to Purchaser all of the funds necessary to purchase any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and shall cause Purchaser to perform, on a timely basis, all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement. Parent and Purchaser shall, and each of Parent and Purchaser shall ensure that all of their respective Affiliates shall, tender any Shares held by them into the Offer.

(g) CVR Agreement. Parent and the Trustee shall, at or prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, duly authorize, execute and deliver the CVR Agreement.

1.2 Company Actions.

(a) Schedule 14D-9. As promptly as practicable on the day that the Offer is commenced, following the filing of the Schedule TO, the Company shall file with the SEC and disseminate to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws and Section 262 of the DGCL, a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that, subject to Section 6.1(b), shall reflect the Company Board Recommendation and include a notice of appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. Prior to such filing and dissemination the Company shall set the Stockholder List Date as the record date for the purpose of receiving the notice required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL. The Company agrees that it will cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable Legal Requirements and for the notice to comply with Section 262 of the DGCL. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. Parent and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendment thereto prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. The Company agrees to provide Parent and its counsel with any comments the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments. The Company shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9.

(b) Stockholder Lists. The Company shall promptly furnish Parent with a list of its stockholders, mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Shares and lists of securities positions of Shares held in stock depositories, in each case accurate and complete as of the most recent practicable date, and shall

provide to Parent such additional information (including updated lists of stockholders, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) and such other assistance as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the Offer and the Merger. The date of the list used to determine the Persons to whom the Offer Documents and Schedule 14D-9 are first disseminated, the “Stockholder List Date.” Parent and Purchaser and their agents shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request, deliver, and shall use their reasonable efforts to cause their agents to deliver, to the Company (or destroy) all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession or control.

(a) Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8, and unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company, Parent and Purchaser, the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, at 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time on the same date as the Offer Acceptance Time and immediately following the Offer Acceptance Time except that if the condition set forth in Section 7.1 shall not be satisfied or waived by such date in which case no later than the first business day on which Section 7.1 is satisfied or waived. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the Company and Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to the Merger, in such form as required by, and executed and acknowledged in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective upon the date and time of the filing of such certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such later date and time as is agreed upon in writing by the parties hereto and specified in the certificate of merger (such date and time, the “Effective Time”).

2.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time:

(a) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and restated as of the Effective Time to conform to Exhibit B;

(c) the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time shall be the respective individuals who are directors and officers of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time.

2.5 Conversion of Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(i) any Shares then held by the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any Shares then held by Parent, Purchaser or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) any Shares held by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Company shall not be cancelled, shall remain outstanding, and shall not be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration described in clause “(iv)” below;

(iv) except as provided in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” above and subject to Section 2.5(b), each Share then outstanding (other than any Dissenting Shares, as defined below) shall be converted into the right to receive the (a) the Closing Amount in cash, without interest plus (b) one CVR, or any such higher consideration as may be paid in the Offer (the “Merger Consideration”), subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Legal Requirements in accordance with Section 2.6(e) and each holder of a Certificate or a Book-Entry Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.6; and

(v) each share of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Purchaser then outstanding shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted.

2.6 Surrender of Certificates; Stock Transfer Books.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of

Shares to receive the funds to which holders of such shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.5. At the Effective Time (subject to Section 2.8(b)), Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to make payment of the cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.5 (the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by the Surviving Corporation; provided, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three (3) months.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five (5) business days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of the shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.5 a form of letter of transmittal (which shall be in reasonable and customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates evidencing such shares (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to such letter of transmittal. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock formerly evidenced by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall then be canceled. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Closing Amount payable upon the surrender of any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the benefit of the holder thereof. If the payment of any Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificates formerly evidencing the shares of Company Common Stock is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. None of the Parent, Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation shall have any liability for the transfer and other similar Taxes described in this Section 2.6(b) under any circumstance. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(c) At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (including, all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in

respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Legal Requirements) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such share to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirements. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(d) At the close of business on the day of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Legal Requirements.

(e) Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause the Paying Agent to deduct and withhold) from the Merger Consideration payable to any holder of the Shares or any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it determines in good faith are required by any Legal Requirement to be deducted and withheld with respect to Taxes. Each such payor shall take actions that may be reasonably necessary to ensure that any such amounts so withheld are promptly and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock or other recipient of consideration hereunder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(f) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate (which shall not exceed the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Certificate), the Paying Agent will pay (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.6(e)), in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Section 2.

2.7 Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and held by holders who are entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL and have properly exercised and perfected their respective demands for appraisal of such shares in the time and manner provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and, as of the Effective Time, have neither

effectively withdrawn nor lost their rights to such appraisal and payment under the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration, but shall, by virtue of the Merger, be entitled to only such consideration as shall be determined pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, that if any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.6(e)), and such shares shall not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares.

2.8 Treatment of Company Options, Restricted Shares, RSUs and Warrants.

(a) As of the Effective Time, each Company Option that is then outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested, shall be cancelled. Further, with respect to those Persons holding such cancelled Company Options, such cancelled Company Options shall be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (without regard to vesting) multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Closing Amount over (B) the exercise price payable per Share under such Company Option, which amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.8(c). Each holder of a cancelled Company Option which has an exercise price per Share that is less than the Closing Amount (an “In-the-money Option”) shall receive one CVR with respect to each Share subject to such In-the-money Option.

37.

then underway under the ESPP to be determined by treating the last business day prior to the Offer Acceptance Time as the last day of such offering period and by making such other pro-rata adjustments as may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period but otherwise treating such shortened offering period as a fully effective and completed offering period for all purposes under the ESPP. The Company shall terminate the ESPP in its entirety effective as of the Offer Acceptance Time. Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, the Company shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the ESPP) that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.3(b).

(c) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to assume all outstanding Company Warrants that are not cancelled pursuant to Section 2.8 and shall take all actions necessary and required to comply with the terms of such Company Warrants.

6.4 Employee Benefits. For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to those employees of the Company who are employed by the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continue to be actively employed (without any material break in service) by the Surviving Corporation (or any Affiliate thereof) during such one year period (the “Continuing Employees”) base salary and base wages, short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities and benefits (including severance benefits) (excluding equity based compensation, defined benefit pension benefits and retiree welfare benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to such base salary and base wages, short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities and benefits (including severance benefits) (excluding equity based compensation, defined benefit pension benefits and retiree welfare benefits) provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing:

(a) With respect to any accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation time to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to and instruct its Affiliates to, as applicable (and without duplication of benefits), honor such accrued personal, sick or vacation time and allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued personal, sick or vacation time in accordance with the practice and policies of the Company, as may be amended from time to time.

(b) Parent agrees that all Continuing Employees shall be eligible to continue to participate in the Surviving Corporation’s health and welfare benefit plans (to the same extent such Continuing Employees were eligible to participate under the Company’s health and welfare benefit plans immediately prior to the Effective Time); provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 6.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate of the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any such health or welfare benefit plan within the one year period following the Effective Time or any other Employee Plan at any time and (ii) if Parent or the Surviving Corporation terminates any such health or welfare benefit plan, then (upon expiration of any appropriate transition period), the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in the Surviving Corporation’s health and welfare benefit plans to the extent that coverage under such plans is replacing comparable coverage under an Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time. To the extent that service is relevant for eligibility, vesting or

42.

allowances (including paid time off) under any health or welfare benefit plan of Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation, then Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such health or welfare benefit plan shall, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and allowances (including paid time off) but not for purposes of benefit accrual, credit Continuing Employees for service prior to the Effective Time with the Company to the same extent that such service was recognized prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding health or welfare benefit plan of the Company. Nothing in this Section 6.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any employee to employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Affiliate of the Surviving Corporation or limit the ability of the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Affiliate of the Surviving Corporation to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee at any time and the employment of each Continuing Employee shall be “at will” employment.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.4 are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 6.4 is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise and no current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of the Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.

6.5 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) All rights to indemnification by the Company existing in favor of those Persons who are directors and officers of the Company as of the date of this Agreement (the “Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) and as provided in the indemnification agreements between the Company and said Indemnified Persons (as set forth on Part 6.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and in effect as of the date of this Agreement) in the forms made available by the Company to Parent or Parent’s Representatives prior to the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Merger and shall be observed by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent available under Delaware law for a period of six years from the Effective Time, and any claim made requesting indemnification pursuant to such indemnification rights within such six-year period shall continue to be subject to this Section 6.5(a) and the indemnification rights provided under this Section 6.5(a) until disposition of such claim.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (together with their successors and assigns, the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments or fines incurred by such Indemnified Person as an officer or director of the Company in connection with any pending or threatened Legal Proceeding based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of the Company at or prior to the Effective Time and pertaining to any and all matters pending, existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including any such matter arising under any claim with respect to the transactions

43.

contemplated herein. Without limiting the foregoing, from the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the Indemnifying Parties shall also, to the fullest extent permitted under the Company Certificate of Incorporation or Company Bylaws or the respective organizational documents of the Subsidiaries (in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement), advance reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with matters for which such Indemnified Persons are eligible to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.5(b) within fifteen days after receipt by Parent of a written request for such advance, subject to the execution by such Indemnified Persons of appropriate undertakings in favor of the Indemnifying Parties to repay such advanced costs and expenses if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 6.5(b).

(c) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement (an accurate and complete copy of which has been made available by the Company to Parent or Parent’s Representatives prior to the date of this Agreement) for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons who are currently covered by such existing policy with respect to their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time in their capacities as directors and officers of the Company (as applicable), on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than the existing policy (or at or prior to the Effective Time Parent or the Company may (through a nationally recognized insurance broker approved by Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)) purchase a six-year “tail” policy for the existing policy effective as of the Effective Time) and if such “tail policy” has been obtained, it shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain and/or maintain insurance pursuant to this Section 6.5(c); provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 250% of the annual premium currently payable by the Company with respect to such current policy, it being understood that if the annual premiums payable for such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, Parent shall be obligated to cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost equal to such amount.

(d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or Entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, or at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.5.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall survive the acceptance of Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer and the consummation of the Merger and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons and their successors, assigns and heirs and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. Unless required by applicable Legal Requirement, this Section 6.5 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Offer Acceptance Time in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person or any of their successors, assigns or heirs without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Person.

44.

6.6 Securityholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the right to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with any litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the Transactions, and the right to consult on any settlement with respect to such litigation, and the Company will in good faith take such comments into account, and, no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any such litigation and shall keep Parent reasonably and promptly informed with respect to the status thereof.

6.7 Additional Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger and make effective the other Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party to this Agreement (i) shall make all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such Party in connection with the Offer and the Merger and the other Transactions, (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) required to be obtained pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement or Material Contract by such Party in connection with the Transactions, and (iii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lift any restraint, injunction or other legal bar to the Offer or the Merger brought by any third Person against such Party. The Company shall promptly deliver to Parent a copy of each such filing made, each such notice given and each such Consent obtained by the Company during the Pre-Closing Period.

6.8 Disclosure. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release issued by the Company and Parent and thereafter Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any further press release(s) or otherwise making any public statement or making any announcement to Company Associates (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement or any of the other Transactions and shall not issue any such press release, public statement or announcement to Company Associates without the other Party’s written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) each Party may, without such consultation or consent, make any public statement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, make internal announcements to employees and make disclosures in Company SEC Documents, so long as such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the parties (or individually, if approved by the other Party), (b) a Party may, without the prior consent of the other Party hereto but subject to giving advance notice to the other Party, issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement as may be required by Legal Requirement; and (c) the Company need not consult with Parent in connection with such portion of any press release, public statement or filing to be issued or made pursuant to Section 5.3(e) or with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Company Adverse Change Recommendation.

45.

6.9 Takeover Laws; Advice of Changes.

(a) If any Takeover Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the Transactions, each of Parent and the Company and the members of their respective Boards of Directors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and conditions contemplated hereby and otherwise act to lawfully eliminate the effect of any Takeover Law on any of the Transactions.

(b) The Company will give prompt notice to Parent (and will subsequently keep the other informed on a current basis of any developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event or circumstance that (i) has had or would reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it and (ii) is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 or Annex I not being able to be satisfied prior to the End Date. Parent will give prompt notice to the Company (and will subsequently keep the other informed on a current basis of any developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event or circumstance that (i) has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect or (ii) is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 not being able to be satisfied prior to the End Date.

6.10 Section 16 Matters. The Company, and the Company’s Board of Directors, shall, to the extent necessary, take appropriate action, prior to or as of the Offer Acceptance Time, to approve, for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the disposition and cancellation or deemed disposition and cancellation of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants in the Transactions by applicable individuals and to cause such dispositions and/or cancellations to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(b) by either Parent or the Company if the Offer (as it may have been extended pursuant to Section 1.1(c)) shall have expired without the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that a Party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) if the failure of the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer is principally because of a failure on the part of such Party to perform in any material respect any covenant or obligation in this Agreement required to be performed by such Party at or prior to the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer and such Party has not cured such failure within ten (10) days after having received notice thereof;

(c) by either Parent or the Company if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Body shall have issued a decree or ruling, or shall have taken any other action, having the effect of (i) permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer or the Merger or (ii) making consummation of the Offer or the Merger illegal; if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Body shall have issued a decree or ruling, or shall have taken any other action, have the effect of (I) restraining or prohibiting Parent’s or its Affiliates’ ownership or operation of the business of the Company, or of Parent or Affiliates, or to compel Parent or any of its Affiliates to dispose of, license or hold separate all or any portion of the business or assets of the Company or of Parent or its Affiliates or

47.

(II) imposing material limitations on the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates effectively to exercise full rights or ownership of the Shares, which order, decree, ruling or other action shall be final and nonappealable; provided, however, that a Party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if the issuance of such final and nonappealable order, decree, ruling or other action is attributable to a failure on the part of such Party to perform in any material respect any covenant or obligation in this Agreement required to be performed by such Party at or prior to the Effective Time;

(d) by Parent at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, if, whether or not permitted to do so: (i) the Company’s Board of Directors shall have failed to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 when mailed, or shall have effected a Company Adverse Change Recommendation; (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have failed to publicly reaffirm its recommendation of this Agreement in the absence of a publicly announced Acquisition Proposal within ten (10) business days after Parent so requests in writing, or, if earlier, two (2) business days prior to the Expiration Date, provided that, unless an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly disclosed, Parent may only make such request once every thirty (30) days; (iii) in the case of a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act (other than by Parent and its Affiliates), the Company’s Board of Directors fails to recommend, in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, rejection of such tender offer or exchange offer within ten (10) business days of the commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer, or, if earlier, two (2) business days prior to the Expiration Date; or (iv) there has been a material breach of Section 5.3;

(e) by either Parent or the Company if the Offer Acceptance Time shall not have occurred on or prior to the close of business on January 31, 2015 (such date, the “End Date”); provided, however, that a Party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if the failure of the Offer Acceptance Time to occur prior to the End Date is principally because of the failure on the part of such Party to perform in any material respect any covenant or obligation in this Agreement required to be performed by such Party;

(f) by the Company, at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, in order to accept a Superior Offer and, substantially concurrent with such termination, to enter into a binding written definitive acquisition agreement providing for the consummation of a transaction constituting a Superior Offer (a “Specified Agreement”), if (i) the Company has complied in all material respects with the requirements of Section 5.3 and Section 6.1(a) and (ii) the Company pays the Termination Fee due to Parent under Section 8.3(b);

(g) by Parent at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, if a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or failure to perform any covenant or obligation in this Agreement on the part of the Company shall have occurred such that the condition set forth in clause “(b)” or “(c)” of Annex I would not be satisfied and cannot be cured by the Company by the End Date, or if capable of being cured, shall not have commenced to have been cured within fifteen (15) days of the date Parent gives the Company notice of such breach or failure to perform; provided, however, that, Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) if either Parent or Purchaser is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation hereunder and such breach would cause or reasonably be expected to cause the Offer Conditions not to be satisfied or the Offer to expire without the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer;

48.

(h) by the Company at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, if a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or failure to perform any covenant or obligation in this Agreement on the part of Parent or Purchaser shall have occurred, in each case if such breach or failure has had or would reasonably be expected to prevent Parent or Purchaser from consummating the Transactions and such breach of failure cannot be satisfied and cannot be cured by Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, by the End Date, or if capable of being cured, shall not have commenced to have been cured within fifteen (15) days of the date the Company gives Parent notice of such breach or failure to perform; provided, however, that, the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(h) if the Company is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation hereunder and such breach would cause or reasonably be expected to cause the Offer Conditions not to be satisfied or the Offer to expire without the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer; or

8.3 Expenses; Termination Fee.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer and Merger are consummated.

(b) In the event that:

(i) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(f);

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d); or

49.

(iii) (x) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) Section 8.1(e) or Section 8.1(g), (y) any Person shall have publicly disclosed a bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof and prior to such termination (unless such Acquisition Proposal is irrevocably, in good faith and publicly withdrawn prior to such termination) and (z) within twelve (12) months of such termination the Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or consummated an Acquisition Proposal in each case, with such Person or another Person (provided that for purposes of this clause (z) the references to “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”);

then, in any such event under clause “(i)”, “(ii)” or “(iii)” of this Section 8.3(b), the Company shall pay to Parent or its designee the Termination Fee by wire transfer of same day funds (x) in the case of Section 8.3(b)(ii), within two (2) business days after such termination, (y) prior to (or if the Specified Agreement is executed on a day that is not a business day, the next business day) such termination if pursuant to Section 8.3 (b)(i) or (z) in the case of Section 8.3(b)(iii), prior to the consummation of the Acquisition Proposal referred to in subclause (iii)(z) above provided that, with respect to Section 8.1(g), a Termination Fee shall only be paid if the proposed consideration payable in connection with such Acquisition Proposal is equal to or exceeds the value of the Offer Price; it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. As used herein, “Termination Fee” shall mean a cash amount equal to $11,500,000. In the event that Parent or its designee shall receive full payment pursuant to this Section 8.3(b), the receipt of the Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Purchaser, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Purchaser, any of their respective Affiliates (collectively, “Parent Related Parties”) or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the Transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.3(b) shall limit the rights of Parent or Purchaser under Section 9.5(b); provided, further, however, nothing in this Section 8.3(b) shall relieve the Company of liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to the date of termination pursuant to Section 8.2(c).

(c) Subject to Section 8.2, Parent’s right to receive payment from the Company of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b) and any payments pursuant to Section 8.3(d) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Related Parties against the Company and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, optionholders, managers, members or Affiliates (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Offer or the Merger to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon payment of such amount(s), none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

(d) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent

50.

commences a Legal Proceeding which results in a judgment against the Company, the Company shall pay Parent its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received.

SECTION 9.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

9.1 Amendment. Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, subject to 6.5(e), this Agreement may be amended with the approval of the respective Boards of Directors of the Company and Parent at any time. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

9.2 Waiver. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

9.3 No Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule or in any certificate or schedule or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Merger.

9.4 Entire Agreement; Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Subject to Section 9.5(c), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its negotiation or any of the transactions

51.

contemplated by this Agreement: (i) each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware, (it being agreed that the consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 9.5(a) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties hereto); and (ii) each of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such Party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 9.8.

1. Certain Covenants.

1.1 Lock-Up. Subject to Section 1.4, except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that between the date hereof and the Termination Date, Stockholder will not (a) directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, tender, encumber or otherwise dispose of or limit its right to vote in any manner any of the Securities, or agree to do any of the foregoing, or (b) take any action which would have the effect of preventing or disabling Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement.

1.2 Binding Effect. This Agreement and the obligations hereunder will attach to the Securities and will be binding upon any person to which legal or beneficial ownership of any or all of the Securities passes, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation, Stockholder’s successors or assigns. This Agreement and the obligations hereunder will also attach to any additional Shares or other Securities of the Company issued to or acquired by Stockholder.

1.3 Proxy.

(a) The Stockholder has revoked or terminated any proxies, voting agreements or similar arrangements previously given or entered into with respect to the Securities which would be inconsistent with the proxy granted hereunder and hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as proxy for Stockholder to vote the Securities for Stockholder and in Stockholder’s name, place and stead, at any annual or special meeting, or at any adjournment thereof or pursuant to any consent of the holders of the Shares, in lieu of a meeting or otherwise, whether before or after the Acceptance Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), solely for the purpose of voting the Securities for the adoption of the Merger Agreement and against any Acquisition Proposal (the “Approved Purpose”). Stockholder may vote the Securities in its sole discretion on all other matters not referred to in this Section 1.3(a), and Parent may not exercise this proxy with respect to such other matters. The parties acknowledge and agree that neither Parent, nor Parent’s successors, assigns, subsidiaries, divisions, employees, officers, directors, stockholders, agents and affiliates shall owe any duty to, whether in law or otherwise, or incur any liability of any kind whatsoever, including without limitation, with respect to any and all claims, losses, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) and compensation of any kind or nature whatsoever to Stockholder in connection with or as a result of any voting by Parent of the Securities or any execution of any consent for the Approved Purpose in accordance with this Section 1.3(a). The parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the authority hereby granted under the irrevocable proxy, Parent may vote the Securities for the Approved Purpose in furtherance of its own interests, and Parent is not acting as a fiduciary for Stockholder.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing grant to Parent of the irrevocable proxy, if Parent elects not to exercise its rights to vote the Securities pursuant to the irrevocable proxy, Stockholder agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) the Securities during the term of this Agreement (to the extent the Securities are not purchased in the Offer) in favor of or give its consent to, as applicable, a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and against any Acquisition Proposal and otherwise as described in Section 1.3(a) at any annual or special meeting or action of the holders of the Shares in lieu of a meeting or otherwise.

(c) This irrevocable proxy shall not be terminated by any act of Stockholder or by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of Stockholder or by the occurrence of any other event or events (including, without limiting the foregoing, the termination of any trust or estate for which Stockholder is acting as a fiduciary or fiduciaries or the dissolution or liquidation of any corporation or partnership). If between the execution hereof and the Termination Date, Stockholder should die or become incapacitated, or if any trust or estate holding the Securities should be terminated, or if any corporation or partnership holding the Securities should be dissolved or liquidated, or if any other such similar event or events shall occur before the Termination Date, certificates representing the Securities shall be delivered by or on behalf of Stockholder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and actions taken by Parent hereunder shall be as valid as if such death, incapacity, termination, dissolution, liquidation or other similar event or events had not occurred, regardless of whether or not Parent has received notice of such death, incapacity, termination, dissolution, liquidation or other event.

(d) The irrevocable proxy granted pursuant to this Section 1.3 will terminate on the Termination Date.

1.4 Tender of Securities. Stockholder agrees, in exchange for the consideration described in the Merger Agreement, to tender the Shares beneficially owned as of the date hereof and set forth on Schedule I hereto to Purchaser in the Offer as soon as practicable following the commencement of the Offer, and in any event not later than ten (10) business days following the commencement of the Offer, or if Stockholder has not received the Offer Documents by such time, within two (2) business days following Stockholder’s receipt of such Offer Documents but in any event prior to the Expiration Date. Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms or the Offer is terminated, Stockholder shall not withdraw any such Shares so tendered; provided, however, that no Stockholder shall be required, for purposes of this Agreement, to exercise any unexercised Convertible Securities, Company Options or Company Warrants held by such Stockholder.

1.5 Public Announcement. Stockholder shall consult with Parent before issuing any press releases or otherwise making any public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the approval of Parent, except as may be required by law or by any Governmental Body exercising regulatory authority over such Stockholder or any of its Affiliates, including any filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This Section 1.5 shall terminate and be null and void upon the earlier of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the consummation of the Merger.

1.6 Disclosure. Stockholder hereby authorizes Parent and Purchaser to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC, the NASDAQ Stock Market or any other national securities exchange and in the Offer Documents, (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC in connection with the foregoing), its identity and ownership of the Securities and the nature of its commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, in each case, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Stockholder; provided, that Parent and Purchaser shall provide each Stockholder a reasonable period of time to review such proposed disclosure prior to any public filing or disclosure thereof. Parent and Purchaser hereby authorize Stockholder to make such disclosure or filings as may be required by the SEC or the NASDAQ Stock Market or any other national securities exchange.

2.2 Authorization. Stockholder has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has sole power of disposition, with respect to the Securities with no restrictions on its rights of disposition pertaining thereto, except those restrictions arising under the Permitted Liens.

No proceedings are pending which, if adversely determined, will have an adverse effect on Stockholder’s ability to dispose of any of the Securities. The Stockholder has not previously assigned or sold any of the Securities set forth on Schedule I hereto to any third party.

Parent and Purchaser have duly executed and delivered this Agreement and this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of each of Parent and Purchaser, enforceable against each of Parent and Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

3.2 No Violation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will violate, or cause a breach of or default under, any contract or agreement, any statute or law, or any judgment, decree, order, regulation or rule of any governmental agency, authority, administrative or regulatory body, court or other tribunal, foreign or domestic, or any other entity or any arbitration award binding upon Parent or Purchaser, except for such violations, breaches or defaults which are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on either Parent’s or Purchaser’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement.

3.3 No other Representations. Parent and Purchaser each further acknowledges and agrees that (i) it is not relying and has not relied on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement; (ii) no Stockholder or, any of its Affiliates, or any other Person has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the matters set forth herein except as expressly set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement and (iii) it is purchasing the Shares, making the Offer and entering into the Merger Agreement and this Agreement based on the results of its inspections and investigations, and not on any representation or warranty of any Stockholder or any of its Affiliates except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement.

4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The respective representations and warranties of Stockholder, Parent and Purchaser contained herein shall not be deemed waived or otherwise affected by any investigation made by the other party hereto. The representations and warranties contained herein shall not survive the Termination Date, subject to Section 6.1.

5. Specific Performance. Stockholder acknowledges that Purchaser and Parent will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of the covenants or agreements of Stockholder which are contained in this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to Purchaser and Parent upon the breach by Stockholder of such covenants and agreements, Purchaser and Parent shall have the right to seek injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of such covenants or agreements by such Stockholder or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any of such covenants or agreements.

6. Miscellaneous.

6.1 Term. This Agreement and all obligations hereunder shall terminate automatically (without any further action of the parties) upon the earlier of (i) the day after the Merger is consummated, (ii) the date of any modification, waiver or amendment to the Merger Agreement (including the form of CVR Agreement attached thereto) in a manner that reduces the amount or changes the form of

consideration payable thereunder to Stockholder; provided that any substitution of a cash payment paid on the Closing Date for an identical value of potential payments under the CVR Agreement, if approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, shall not result in a termination of this Agreement, (iii) the mutual written consent of the Parent and the Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares and (iv) the date upon which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated (the “Termination Date”). Upon termination of this Agreement, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any party hereto to any Person in respect hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no party shall have any claim against another (and no person shall have any rights against such party), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from liability arising from any willful breach prior to such termination, and this Section 6 shall survive any such termination.

6.2 Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in Stockholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of Securities, and (b) nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by Stockholder or any Representative of Stockholder, as applicable, serving on the Company Board of Directors or as an officer or fiduciary of the Company, acting in such person’s capacity as a director, officer or fiduciary of the Company.

6.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective representatives and permitted successors and assigns.

6.6 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

6.7 Assignment. Except as provided in Section 1.1, no party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties; provided, however, that each of Parent and Purchaser may freely assign its rights to another direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or Purchaser without such prior written approval (provided that such assignment shall not impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise impede the rights of the stockholders of the Company under this Agreement); but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Purchaser of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment requiring consent without such consent shall be void.

6.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but each of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

6.9 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered in person, by overnight courier, by facsimile transmission (with receipt confirmed by telephone or by automatic transmission report) or by electronic

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the consummation of the transactions referred to above, Parent and Rights Agent agree, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders (as hereinafter defined), as follows:

2. CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

2.1. CVRs. The CVRs represent the rights of Holders to receive contingent cash payments pursuant to this Agreement. The initial Holders will be determined pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

2.2. Nontransferable. The CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer.

2.3. No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.

(a) The CVRs will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

(b) The Rights Agent will keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of registering CVRs and transfers of CVRs as herein provided. The CVR Register will initially show one position for [ ] representing all the shares of Company Common Stock held by DTC on behalf of the street holders of the shares of Company Common Stock tendered by such holders in the Offer or held by such holders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the street name holders with respect to transfers of CVRs. With respect to any payments to be made under Section 2.4 below, the Rights Agent will accomplish the payment to any former street name holders of shares of Company Common Stock by sending one lump payment to DTC. The Rights Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments by DTC to such street name holders.

(c) Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its guidelines, duly executed by the Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal representative or the Holder’s survivor, and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. Parent and Rights Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment by a Holder of a CVR of applicable taxes or charges unless and until the Rights Agent is satisfied that all such taxes or charges have been paid. All duly transferred CVRs registered in

the CVR Register will be the valid obligations of Parent and will entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR will be valid until registered in the CVR Register.

(d) A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form, promptly record the change of address in the CVR Register.

2.4. Payment Procedures.

(a) Upon achievement of a Milestone, Parent will deliver to the Rights Agent a notice (the “Milestone Notice”) indicating the achievement of such Milestone along with any letter of instruction required by the Rights Agent.

(b) If the Front Line Milestone is achieved before the achievement of the Second Line Milestone, then the Second Line Milestone shall be deemed to be achieved either (i) upon receipt of first Marketing Authorization of a Product for the treatment of relapsed or refractory FLT3-positive AML in patients who have received at least one prior systemic therapy for AML if such Marketing Authorization has not occurred prior to achievement of the Front Line Milestone or (ii) concurrently with achievement of the Front Line Milestone if receipt of first Marketing Authorization of a Product for the treatment of relapsed or refractory FLT3-positive AML in patients who have received at least one prior systemic therapy for AML has occurred prior to achievement of the Front Line Milestone. If the Second Line Milestone is achieved before the achievement of the Front Line Milestone, then the Front Line Milestone shall be deemed to be achieved either (i) upon receipt of first Marketing Authorization of a Product for remission induction in patients with AML, either alone or in combination with any other therapy, if such Marketing Authorization has not occurred prior to achievement of the Second Line Milestone or (ii) concurrently with achievement of the Second Line Milestone if receipt of first Marketing Authorization of a Product for remission induction in patients with AML, either alone or in combination with any other therapy, has occurred prior to achievement of the Second Line Milestone.

(c) The Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a Milestone Notice as well as any letter of instruction required by the Rights Agent, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of such Milestone Notice. If a Payment Amount is payable to the Holders, then at the time the Rights Agent sends a copy of the Milestone Notice to the Holders, the Rights Agent will also pay the Payment Amount to each of the Holders (the amount to which each Holder is entitled to receive will be the Payment Amount multiplied by the number of CVRs held by such Holder as reflected on the CVR Register) by check mailed to the address of each Holder as reflected in the CVR Register as of the close of business on the date of the Milestone Notice.

(d) The Payment Amounts shall be payable only once following the initial achievement of each Milestone (i.e. the Front Line Milestone or Second Line Milestone) and no amounts shall be due or payable for subsequent or repeated achievement of the same Milestone.

(e) Parent shall be entitled to deduct or withhold, or cause the Rights Agent to deduct or withhold, from any Payment Amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder, or any other applicable Tax Law, as may be determined by Parent or the Rights Agent. Prior to making any such Tax withholdings or causing any such Tax withholdings to be made with respect to any Holder, Parent shall instruct the Rights Agent to solicit from such Holder an IRS Form W-9 or other applicable Tax form within a reasonable amount of time in order to provide the opportunity for the Holder to provide any necessary Tax forms (including an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8) in order to avoid or reduce such withholding amounts. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, and prior to the 15^th day of February in the year following any payment of such taxes by Parent or the Rights Agent, Parent shall deliver (or shall cause the Rights Agent to deliver) to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid the original Form 1099 or other reasonably acceptable evidence of such withholding.

(f) Any portion of any Payment Amount that remains undistributed to the Holders six (6) months after the date of the applicable Milestone Notice will be delivered by the Rights Agent to Parent, upon demand, and any Holder will thereafter look only to Parent for payment of such Payment Amount, without interest, but such Holder will have no greater rights against Parent than those accorded to general unsecured creditors of Parent under applicable law.

(g) Neither Parent nor the Rights Agent will be liable to any person in respect of any Payment Amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If, despite Parent’s and/or the Rights Agent’s commercially reasonable efforts to deliver a Payment Amount to the applicable Holder, such Payment Amount has not been paid immediately prior to the date on which such Payment Amount would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Payment Amount will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to Parent.

2.5. No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest in Parent.

(a) The CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest will not accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any Holder.

(b) The CVRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Parent or in any constituent company to the Merger.

2.6. Ability to Abandon CVR. A Holder may at any time, at such Holder’s option, abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to Parent without consideration therefor. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit Parent from offering to acquire CVRs for consideration in its sole discretion.

3. THE RIGHTS AGENT

3.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The Rights Agent will not have any liability for any actions taken or not taken in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent of its willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence.

3.2. Certain Rights of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent. In addition:

(a) the Rights Agent may rely and will be protected and held harmless by Parent in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) whenever the Rights Agent will deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Rights Agent may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate, which certificate shall be full authorization and protection to the Rights Agent, and the Rights Agent shall, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, incur no liability and be held harmless by Parent for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate;

(c) the Rights Agent may engage and consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection and shall be held harmless by Parent in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(d) the permissive rights of the Rights Agent to do things enumerated in this Agreement will not be construed as a duty;

(e) the Rights Agent will not be required to give any note or surety in respect of the execution of such powers or otherwise in respect of the premises;

(f) the Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of, and shall be held harmless by Parent with respect to any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Parent only;

(g) the Rights Agent will have no liability and shall be held harmless by Parent in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent and the enforceability of this Agreement against the Rights Agent assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by Parent); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Parent of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement;

(h) Parent agrees to indemnify Rights Agent for, and hold Rights Agent harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, demands, suits or expense arising out of or in connection with Rights Agent’s duties under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending Rights Agent against any claims, charges, demands, suits or loss, unless such loss has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of Rights Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful or intentional misconduct;

(i) Rights Agent shall not be liable for consequential damages under any provision of this Agreement or for any consequential damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part;

(j) Parent agrees (i) to pay the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent in connection with this Agreement as agreed upon in writing by the Rights Agent and Parent on or prior to the date hereof, and (ii) to reimburse the Rights Agent for all taxes and governmental charges, reasonable expenses and other charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Rights Agent in the execution of this Agreement (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the Rights Agent’s net income and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it). The Rights Agent will also be entitled to reimbursement from Parent for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by it in connection with the administration by the Rights Agent of its duties hereunder; and

(k) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

3.3. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) The Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Parent specifying a date when such resignation will take effect, which notice will be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified but in no event will such resignation become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed. Parent has the right to remove Rights Agent at any time by notice specifying a date when such removal will take effect but no such removal will become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed. Such notice of removal will be given by Parent to Rights Agent, which notice will be sent at least 60 days prior to the date so specified.

(b) If the Rights Agent provides notice of its intent to resign, is removed or becomes incapable of acting, Parent, by a Board Resolution, will as soon as is reasonably possible appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent who, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding CVRs, shall be a stock transfer agent of national reputation or the corporate trust department of a commercial bank. The successor Rights Agent so appointed will, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4, become the successor Rights Agent.

(c) Parent will give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the CVR Register. Each notice will include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Parent fails to send such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent will cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of Parent.

3.4. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Rights Agent appointed hereunder will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Parent and to the retiring Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such successor Rights Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent. On request of Parent or the successor Rights Agent, the retiring Rights Agent will execute and deliver an instrument transferring to the successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Rights Agent.

4. COVENANTS

4.1. List of Holders. Parent will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Rights Agent in such form as Parent receives from the Company’s transfer agent (or other agent performing similar services for the Company), the names and addresses of the Holders within ten (10) Business Days of the Effective Time.

4.2. Payment of Payment Amount. If a Milestone has been achieved in accordance with this Agreement, Parent will, promptly following the delivery of the Milestone Notice for such Milestone, deposit with the Rights Agent, for payment to the Holders in accordance with

Section 2.4, the aggregate amount necessary to pay the applicable Payment Amount to all Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Payment Amount shall only be paid, if at all, for the specific Milestone(s) achieved (or deemed to be achieved pursuant to Section 2.4(b)): the Front Line Milestone, the Second Line Milestone or both.

4.3. Diligent Efforts. Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and any Sublicensees, to, use Diligent Efforts to achieve the Milestones. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and any Sublicensees, as applicable, to apply Diligent Efforts to conduct the Phase III Trial.

4.4 Books and Records. Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep true, complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the Holders and their consultants or professional advisors to confirm the applicable Payment Amount payable hereunder in accordance with the terms specified in this Agreement.

4.5 Audits.

(a) Upon the written request of the Acting Holders provided to Parent not less than forty-five (45) days in advance (such request not be made more than once in any twelve (12) month period), Parent shall permit, and shall cause its Affiliates to permit, the Independent Accountant to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of Parent, the Company or such other Affiliates or Sublicensees of Parent as may be reasonably necessary to determine whether a Milestone has been achieved. Parent shall, and shall cause to its Affiliates to, furnish to the Independent Accountant such access, work papers and other documents and information reasonably necessary for the Independent Accountant’s evaluation of the occurrence of a Milestone; provided that Parent may, and may cause its Affiliates to, redact documents and information not relevant for such evaluation pursuant to this Section 4.5. as the Independent Accountant may request and as are available to Parent. The Independent Accountant shall disclose to Parent and the Acting Holders any matters directly related to its findings to the extent necessary to verify the achievement of the applicable Milestone(s).

(b) If the Independent Accountant concludes that a Payment Amount that was properly due was not paid to the Holders, Parent shall pay to the Rights Agent (for further distribution to the Holders) or to each Holder the applicable Payment Amount, plus interest on such Payment Amount at the “prime rate” as published in the Wall Street Journal or similar reputable data source from time to time calculated from when the Payment Amount should have been paid (if Parent had given notice of achievement of the applicable Milestone(s) following its actual achievement, as determined by the Independent Accountant, at the time required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), as applicable, to the date of actual payment (such amount including interest being the “CVR Shortfall”). The CVR Shortfall shall be paid within ten (10) days of the date the Independent Accountant delivers to Parent and the Acting Holders the Independent Accountant’s written report. The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be

final, conclusive and binding on Parent and the Holders, shall be non-appealable and shall not be subject to further review. The fees charged by the Independent Accountant shall be paid by the Acting Holders; provided, however, that if the Independent Accountant concludes that a Payment Amount that was properly due was not paid to the Holders, the fees charged by such Independent Accountant shall be paid by Parent.

(c) Each person seeking to receive information from Parent in connection with a review pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall enter into, and shall cause its accounting firm to enter into, a reasonable and mutually satisfactory confidentiality agreement with Parent or any controlled Affiliate obligating such party to retain all such information disclosed to such party in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

(d) Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any license or distribution agreement with any third party (other than Parent or its Affiliates) with respect to a Product unless such agreement contains provisions that would allow any Independent Accountant appointed pursuant to this Section 4.5 such access to the records of the other party to such license or distribution agreement as may be reasonably necessary to perform its duties pursuant to this Section 4.5; provided that (i) Parent and its Affiliates shall not be required to amend any of its existing licenses and (ii) Parent and its Affiliates may redact documents and information not relevant for such evaluation pursuant to this Section 4.5. The parties hereto agree that, if Parent or its Affiliates have exercised audit rights under any license or distribution agreement prior to the Acting Holders’ request for an audit under this Section 4.5 and under such license or distribution agreement Parent and its Affiliates cannot request another audit, the results of Parent’s prior audit of such licensee or distributor shall be used for purposes of the audit requested by the Acting Holders under this Section 4.5 and that Parent shall not have any further obligation to provide access to an Independent Accountant with respect to such licensee until such time as Parent may again exercise its rights of audit under the license agreement with such licensee.

5. AMENDMENTS

(a) Without the consent of any Holders or the Rights Agent, Parent, when authorized by a Board Resolution, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more amendments hereto, to evidence the succession of another Person to Parent and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of Parent herein as provided in Section 6.3.

5.3. Execution of Amendments. In executing any amendment permitted by this Section 5, the Rights Agent will be entitled to receive, and will be fully protected in relying upon, an opinion of counsel selected by Parent stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

The Rights Agent or Parent may specify a different address or facsimile number by giving notice in accordance with this Section 6.1.

6.2. Notice to Holders. Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders, such notice will be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the Holder’s address as it appears in the CVR Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

6.3. Parent Successors and Assigns. Parent may assign, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent or to any purchaser or licensee of substantial rights to the Product (each, an “Assignee”) provided that the Assignee agrees to assume and be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement. Any such Assignee may thereafter assign, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to one or more additional Assignees who agree to assume and be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in

connection with any assignment to an Assignee, Parent (or the other assignor) shall agree to remain liable for the performance by each Assignee (and such other assignor, if applicable) of all obligations of Parent and Sub hereunder, with such Assignee substituted for Parent and Sub under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Parent’s successors and each Assignee, and this Agreement shall not restrict Parent’s, any Assignee’s or any of their respective successor’s ability to merge or consolidate. Each of Parent’s successors and assigns shall expressly assume by an instrument supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Rights Agent, the due and punctual payment of the CVRs and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and obligations of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Parent.

6.4. Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, will give to any Person (other than the Rights Agent, Parent, Parent’s successors and assignees, and the Holders) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the, Rights Agent, Parent, Parent’s successors and assignees, and the Holders. The rights of Holders are limited to those expressly provided in this Agreement and the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder may agree to renounce, in whole or in part, such Holder’s rights under this Agreement by written notice to the Rights Agent and Parent, which notice, if given, shall be irrevocable.

6.5. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. The parties further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

6.6. Counterparts and Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or by an electronic scan delivered by electronic mail), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart.

6.7. Termination. This Agreement will be terminated and of no force or effect, the parties hereto will have no liability hereunder (other than with respect to monies due and owing by Parent to Rights Agent), and no payments will be required to be made, upon the earlier of (a) following the mailing by the Rights Agent to the address of each Holder as reflected in the CVR Register the full amount of all potential Payment Amounts required to be paid under the terms of this Agreement and (b) ten years from the date hereof.

6.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto and thereto with reference to the transactions and matters contemplated hereby and thereby and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties with respect hereto and thereto. If and to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent or conflicts with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement will govern and be controlling.

6.9. Applicable Legal Requirements; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Subject to Section 6.9(b), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its negotiation or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (i) each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware, (it being agreed that the consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 6.9(a) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties hereto); and (ii) each of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such Party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 6.1. The Parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
