At the Effective Time, each Company RSU outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into and will become a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the amount of the Per Share Price by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU (the “Company RSU Consideration”). For the purposes of the previous sentence, the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to a Company RSU will be deemed to be the number of shares issuable following full performance and satisfaction of the target (to the extent applicable). The payment of the Company RSU Consideration will be subject to withholding for all required Taxes.

(b) Company Options. Parent will not assume any Company Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into and will become a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the amount of the Per Share Price (less the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Option) by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Option (the “Company Option Consideration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Company Options for which the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Options is equal to or greater than the Per Share Price, such Company Options will be cancelled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof. The payment of the Company Option Consideration will be subject to withholding for all required Taxes.

(c) Payment Procedures. No later than three weeks following the Closing Date, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause the applicable holders of Company RSUs and Company Options to receive a payment from the Company or the Surviving Corporation, through its payroll system or payroll provider (including by conducting a special payroll, if necessary), of all amounts required to be paid to such holders with respect to Company RSUs and Company Options

-23-

that are cancelled and converted pursuant to Section 2.8(a) or Section 2.8(b), as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment owed to a holder of Company RSUs or Company Options pursuant to Section 2.8(a) or Section 2.8(b), as applicable, cannot be made through the Company’s or the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system or payroll provider, then the Surviving Corporation will issue a check for such payment to such holder, which check will be sent by overnight courier to such holder promptly following the Closing Date (but in no event more than 15 Business Days thereafter).

(d) Necessary Further Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the Compensation Committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.8 (including the satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act). The Company shall take all actions that are necessary to ensure that all Company RSUs and all Company Equity Plans will terminate as of the Effective Time.

2.9 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Closing, Parent will (i) select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”); and (ii) enter into a payment agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, with the Payment Agent.

(b) Exchange Fund. At or prior to the Closing, Parent will deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for payment to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.7, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which such holders of shares of Company Common Stock become entitled pursuant to Section 2.7. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such cash will be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in (i) obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States with a maturity of no more than 30 days; (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively; or (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available) (such cash and any proceeds thereon, the “Exchange Fund”). To the extent that (A) there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund; (B) the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by Section 2.7; or (C) all or any portion of the Exchange Fund is unavailable for Parent (or the Payment Agent on behalf of Parent) to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by Section 2.7 for any reason, then Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the amount of cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times fully available for distribution and maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment Agent to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.7. Any interest or other income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs.

-24-

(i) Certificates. Promptly following the Effective Time (and in any event within five Business Days), Parent and the Surviving Corporation will cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Company Shares and Owned Company Shares) (the “Certificates”) whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7, (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent); and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon surrender to the Payment Agent of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section 2.11) for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Payment Agent in accordance with the terms of such materials and instructions, the holder of such Certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange for the number of shares represented by such Certificate (and Parent will cause the Payment Agent to pay and deliver in exchange therefor as promptly as practicable) an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate by (2) the Per Share Price (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof). The Certificate so surrendered will be cancelled. The Payment Agent will accept Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of any holder of the Certificates on the amount payable upon the surrender of such Certificates pursuant to this Section 2.9(c)(i). Until so surrendered, the Certificates will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.

(ii) Uncertificated Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any holder of shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form (the “Uncertificated Shares”) will not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Payment Agent to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. In lieu thereof, each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of an Uncertificated Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented an outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Company Shares and Owned Company Shares) whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7 will, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” in customary form (it being understood that the holders of Uncertificated Shares will be deemed to have surrendered such Uncertificated Shares upon receipt of an “agent’s message” or such other evidence, if any, as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) at the Effective Time, be entitled to receive (and Parent will cause the Payment Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable) an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares by (B) the Per Share Price (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in

-25-

respect thereof). The Uncertificated Shares so surrendered will be cancelled. The Payment Agent will accept transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of any holder of the Uncertificated Shares on the amount payable upon the surrender of such Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.9(c)(ii). Until so surrendered, Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7(a).

(d) DTC Payment. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company will cooperate to establish procedures with the Payment Agent and DTC with the objective that (i) if the Closing occurs at or prior to 11:30 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date, then the Payment Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees on the Closing Date an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares) held of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Per Share Price (such amount, the “DTC Payment”); and (ii) if the Closing occurs after 11:30 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date, then the Payment Agent will transmit the DTC Payment to DTC or its nominees on the first Business Day after the Closing Date.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if the consideration payable is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Certificates surrendered or transferred in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, then the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.7 may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered or transferred is registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid to Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) any transfer Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Price to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate, or established to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable. Payment of the consideration payable with respect to Uncertificated Shares will only be made to the Person in whose name such Uncertificated Shares are registered.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Party will be liable to a Company Stockholder for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificates or Uncertificated Shares have not been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which any cash in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, then any such cash in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share 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.

-26-

(g) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is one year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered or transferred their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to this Section 2.9 will thereafter look for payment of the Per Share Price payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), solely as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.7.

2.10 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, (a) all shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist; and (b) each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares previously representing any shares of Company Common Stock will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration payable therefor in accordance with Section 2.7 (or in the case of Dissenting Company Shares, the rights pursuant to Section 2.7(c)). The consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they will (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 2.9(c)) be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.11 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent will issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. Parent or the Payment Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Price, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.12 Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation, or any Subsidiary of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom pursuant to any applicable Laws relating to Taxes. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

-27-

2.13 Future Dividends or Distributions. No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Corporation with a record date on or after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates or Uncertificated Shares.

2.14 Necessary Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, then the directors and officers of the Company and Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will take all such lawful and necessary action.

-57-

Superior Proposal; and (B) the failure to take the actions contemplated by this Section 5.3(b) would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law.

(d) Company Board Recommendation Change; Entry into Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval:

(i) other than in connection with a written Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law if and only if:

(A) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least four Business Days in advance to the effect that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has (A) so determined; and (B) resolved to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 5.3(d)(i), which notice will describe the Intervening Event in reasonable detail; and

(B) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company and its Representatives, during such four Business Day period, have (A) negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent desires to so negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) no longer determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to make a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; and (B) permitted Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent that Parent requests to make such a presentation); or

(ii) if the Company has received a written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) is a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board may (A) effect a Company Board Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal; or (B) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in each case if and only if:

(e) Notice to Parent. From the Agreement Date until the earlier to occur of the (i) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and (ii) Effective Time, the Company will promptly (and, in any event, by 24 hours from the receipt thereof) notify Parent in writing if any Acquisition Proposal, or inquiry from any Person or Group related to making a potential Acquisition Proposal, is, to the Knowledge of the Company (which, for all purpose of this clause (e), will be deemed to include each member of the Company Board and will not be deemed to be only as of the Agreement Date), received by, any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its Representatives. Such notice must include (i) the identity of the Person or Group making such proposal, inquiry, request or offer; and (ii) a summary of the material terms and conditions of such proposal, inquiry, request or offer and, if writing, a copy thereof, together with all documents provided therewith. Thereafter, the Company must keep Parent reasonably informed, by providing notice within 24 hours after obtaining Knowledge thereof, of any changes in the status and terms of any such offers or proposals (including any updates or amendments thereto) and the status of, and any material developments with respect to, any such discussions or negotiations.

(f) Permitted Disclosures. So long as the Company Board (or a committee thereof) expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such disclosure and public statement (other than in a customary “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act):

(i) nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) from taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, in each case in response to a tender offer, but, except as otherwise permitted under Section 5.3, such disclosure must be limited to: (A) making a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the Company

(g) Breach by Representatives. Any action taken by a Company Subsidiary, or by a Representative of the Company or a Company Subsidiary, that, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.3 will be deemed to constitute a breach by the Company for purposes of Section 5.3(b).

5.4 No Control of the Other Party’s Business. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are not intended to give Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business or operations of the other at any time prior to the Effective Time.

(ix) taking all corporate and other actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably requested by Parent to permit the consummation of the Financing.

Furthermore, nothing in this Section 6.5 shall require any cooperation by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to the extent that it would interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business or operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or create an unreasonable risk of material damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. In addition, (A) no action, liability or obligation of the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument relating to the Financing (other than customary representation letters and authorization letters (including with respect to the presence or absence of material non-public information about the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the accuracy of the information contained in the disclosure and marketing materials related to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries)) will be effective until the Effective Time; and (B) neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries will be required to take any action pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement,

document or instrument relating to the Financing (other than customary representation letters and authorization letters (including with respect to the presence or absence of material non-public information about the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the accuracy of the information contained in the disclosure and marketing materials related to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries)) that is not contingent on the occurrence of the Closing or that must be effective prior to the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 6.5 will require (1) any Representative of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to deliver any certificate or opinion or take any other action under this Section 6.5 that could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to such Representative; (2) the Company Board to approve any financing or Contracts related thereto prior to the Closing; (3) the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to take any action that would conflict with or violate its organizational documents, any applicable Laws or result in, prior to the Closing, a violation or breach of, or default under, any agreement to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is a party; or (4) the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to provide any information (a) the disclosure of which is prohibited or restricted under applicable Law or any agreement binding on the Company or the Company Subsidiaries; or (b) where access to such information would (i) give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other privilege applicable to such information; or (ii) violate or cause a default pursuant to, or give a third Person the right terminate or accelerate the rights pursuant to, any Contract to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound, it being understood that the Company shall inform Parent as to the general nature of what is being withheld as a result of the foregoing and shall use its reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege or contravene any applicable Law or binding agreement (including, if practicable, by obtaining consent for the disclosure thereof).

(c) Use of Logos. The Company consents to the use of its and the Company Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing so long as such logos are used (i) solely in a manner that is not intended to or likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Intellectual Property Rights; and (ii) otherwise in a manner consistent with the other terms and conditions that the Company reasonably imposes.

-70-

(f) Indemnification.

(g) No Exclusive Arrangements. In no event will Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective controlled Affiliates enter into any Contract prohibiting or seeking to prohibit any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of financing from providing or seeking to provide financing or financial advisory services to any Person, in each case in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or in connection with the Merger.

(h) Company Financial Statements.

(i) Interim Financial Statements. If the Closing does not occur prior to August 1, 2018, the Company will deliver to Parent as promptly as practicable following the closing of the fiscal quarter of the Company ending on June 30, 2018 (but in any event on or prior to August 15, 2018), the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as at the end of, and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for, such fiscal quarter, together with financial statements for the corresponding portion of the previous year, in each case, prepared in accordance with GAAP, except for the absence of footnotes and subject to normal year-end adjustments.

(iii) No Omissions. All information provided under this Section 6.5(h) (other than information provided under Section 6.5(h)(ii)(C)) shall be complete and correct in all material respects and shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading and the Company shall not have been informed by such auditors that it is required to restate, and the Company shall not have restated, any such information or announced any intention to restate or that such restatement is under consideration or may be a reasonable possibility.

-71-

6.6 Anti-Takeover Laws. The Company and the Company Board will (a) take all actions within their power to ensure that no “anti-takeover” Law is or becomes applicable to the Merger; and (b) if any “anti-takeover” Law becomes applicable to the Merger, take all action within their power to ensure that the Merger may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such Law on the Merger.

6.7 Access. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the (i) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and (ii) Effective Time, the Company will, and will cause the Company Subsidiaries to, afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the properties, books and records and personnel of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and furnish promptly such financial, operational and other data and information concerning its business, operations, personnel, assets, liabilities, results of operations and properties as Parent may reasonably request (so long as such financial data is reasonably available to the Company under, or derivable from, the Company’s current reporting system), except that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (a) any applicable Law requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information; (b) access to such documents or information would waive any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other privilege applicable to such documents or information, but that the Company shall inform Parent as to the general nature of what is being withheld as a result of the foregoing and shall use its reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege (including, if practicable, by obtaining consent for the disclosure thereof from the applicable third Person); (c) access to a Contract to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound would violate or cause a default pursuant to, or give a third Person the right terminate or accelerate the rights pursuant to such Contract, but that the Company shall inform Parent as to the general nature of what is being withheld as a result of the foregoing and shall use its reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege (including, if practicable, by obtaining consent for the disclosure thereof from the applicable third Person); or (d) such documents or information are reasonably pertinent to any adverse Legal Proceeding between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand. Nothing in this Section 6.7 will be construed to require the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.7 will be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries. Any access to the properties of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries will be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and will not include the right to perform invasive testing. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement will apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its Representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.7. All requests for access pursuant to this Section 6.7 must be directed to the Company’s General Counsel or another person designated in writing by the Company in advance of the Closing.

The Company will take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Merger, and any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the Merger by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company to be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.9 Directors’ and Officers’ Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Indemnified Persons. The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill, in all respects to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the obligations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to any indemnification agreements that have been provided to Parent between the Company and any of the Company Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of their respective current or former directors or officers (and any person who becomes a director or employee of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time), on the other hand (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”). In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificates of incorporation, bylaws and other similar organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Charter, the Bylaws and the other similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company, as applicable, as of the Agreement Date. During such six-year period or such period in which an Indemnified Person is asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.9(b), whichever is longer, such provisions may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable Law.

(b) Indemnification Obligation. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.9(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless, each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law or to the same extent that such Indemnified Persons are indemnified as of the Agreement Date pursuant to applicable Law, the Charter and Bylaws and other organizational documents of the Company Subsidiaries and indemnification agreements that have been provided to Parent between the Company and any of the Company Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of their respective current or former directors or officers, on the other, from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement or compromise in connection with any Legal Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent that such Legal Proceeding arises, directly or indirectly, out of or pertains, directly or indirectly, to any action or omission, or alleged action or omission, in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer

-73-

or agent of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to or at the Effective Time), including the Merger, as well as any actions taken by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.9(b) with respect to a Legal Proceeding commenced or threatened in writing prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, then the claim asserted in such notice will survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claim is fully and finally resolved. Upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay any amount if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification, the Surviving Corporation will advance all fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel) as incurred by an Indemnified Person in the defense of any Legal Proceeding with respect to the matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.9(b), to the extent required by the terms of, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in, the Charter, the Bylaws, the corresponding organizational documents of the Company Subsidiaries, and indemnification agreements, in each case in effect as of the Effective Time and that have been provided to Parent. In connection with such Legal Proceedings, (A) the Surviving Corporation will have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, the Surviving Corporation will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Indemnified Person’s entitlement to indemnification under this Section 6.9 with respect thereto); (B) each Indemnified Person will be entitled to retain his or her own counsel but the Surviving Corporation will not be liable to any Indemnified Person for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by any Indemnified Person with respect to the same Legal Proceeding, it being understood that (1) the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ his or her counsel in any such proceeding such Indemnified Person’s expense; and (2) if (x) the employment of counsel by the Indemnified Person has been previously authorized by the Surviving Corporation, (y) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Person in the conduct of any such defense, or (z) the Surviving Corporation shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Person’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Surviving Corporation; and (C) no Indemnified Person will be liable for any settlement of such Legal Proceeding effected without his or her prior written consent (unless such settlement relates only to monetary damages for which the Surviving Corporation is entirely responsible). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates will settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or otherwise seek the termination of, any Legal Proceeding for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement unless: (a) such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release from all liability arising out of such Legal Proceeding for each Indemnified Person covered by such settlement, compromise, consent or termination; or (b) each Indemnified Person covered by such settlement, compromise, consent or termination provides their consent. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether the conduct of any Indemnified Person complies or complied with any applicable standard will be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation (which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the fees and expenses of which will be paid by the Surviving Corporation.

-74-

(c) D&O Insurance. During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the D&O Insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time on terms (including with respect to coverage, conditions, retentions, limits and amounts) that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance (except that Parent may substitute therefor policies with a carrier with comparable credit ratings to the existing carrier of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the insured). In satisfying its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.9(c), the Surviving Corporation will not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such 300% amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”). If the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, then the Surviving Corporation will be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium from an insurance carrier with a comparable credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier. Prior to the Effective Time, and in lieu of maintaining the D&O Insurance pursuant to this Section 6.9(c), the Company may (or, if the Parent requests, the Company will) purchase a prepaid “tail” policy (the “Tail Policy”) with respect to the D&O Insurance from an insurance carrier with a comparable credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier so long as the annual cost for the Tail Policy does not exceed the Maximum Annual Premium. If the Company purchases the Tail Policy prior to the Effective Time, then the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain the Tail Policy in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder for so long as the Tail Policy is in full force and effect.

(d) Successors and Assigns. If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each case, proper provisions will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns will assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.9, unless such successor or assign assumes such obligations by operation of law.

(e) No Impairment; Third Person Beneficiary Rights. The obligations set forth in this Section 6.9 may not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person (and his or her heirs and representatives) who is a beneficiary pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person. Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons (and his or her heirs and representatives) who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.9, with full rights of enforcement. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons (and his or her heirs and representatives) who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy) pursuant to

-75-

this Section 6.9 will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have pursuant to (i) the Charter and Bylaws; (ii) the similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company; (iii) any and all indemnification agreements entered into with the Company Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the Agreement Date and provided to Parent; or (iv) applicable Law.

(f) Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.9 will be joint and several.

(g) Other Claims. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to, release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.9 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims pursuant to such policies or agreements.

6.10 Employee Matters.

(a) Change of Control Acknowledgement. Parent acknowledges and agrees that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of each of the Company Benefit Plans, as applicable, will occur as of the Effective Time.

(b) Existing Arrangements. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) honor all of the Company Benefit Plans and compensation and severance arrangements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 6.10(c), nothing will prohibit the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any such Company Benefit Plans or compensation or severance arrangements in accordance with their terms or if otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law.

(c) Employment; Benefits. For a period of one year following the Effective Time and with respect to the Continuing Employees employed within that period, (i) the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) either (A) maintain for the benefit of each Continuing Employee the Company Benefit Plans and any other employee benefit plans (other than opportunity to participate in equity-based benefits, severance and, subject to Section 6.10(b), individual employment agreements) of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Company Plans”) on terms and conditions that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those in effect at the Company or the Company Subsidiaries on the Agreement Date, and provide benefits to each Continuing Employee pursuant to such Company Plans; (B) provide benefits to each Continuing Employee that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in the aggregate to those benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates (“Parent Plans”); or (C) provide some combination of Company Plans and Parent Plans such that each Continuing Employee receives benefits that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in the aggregate to those benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent; (ii) Parent or its Subsidiaries shall provide Continuing Employees with severance benefits that are no

-76-

less favorable in the aggregate to those benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates; and (iii) neither Parent nor its Subsidiaries shall reduce the aggregate cash compensation, including base salary and target incentive compensation opportunity, payable to any Continuing Employee. The Company will consult in good faith with Parent regarding the content of communications to Company employees regarding the Merger prior to the release of any such communications.

(d) New Plans. To the extent that a Company Plan or Parent Plan is made available to any Continuing Employee at or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant (including for purposes of vacation accrual and severance pay entitlement), except that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Continuing Employee will be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting period, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Plans) (such plans, the “New Plans”) to the extent that coverage pursuant to any New Plan replaces coverage pursuant to a comparable Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, the “Old Plans”); (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision, disability or other welfare benefits to any Continuing Employee, the Surviving Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to cause all waiting periods, pre-existing conditions or limitations, physical examination requirements, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and the Surviving Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date that such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be given full credit pursuant to such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-payments, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan; and (iii) credit the accounts of such Continuing Employees pursuant to any New Plan that is a flexible spending plan with any unused balance in the account of such Continuing Employee. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time, will not be subject to accrual limits or other forfeiture and will not limit future accruals. Effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, unless otherwise requested by Parent no later than five Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall terminate all Company Benefit Plans that are intended to include a Section 401(k) arrangement (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date that such 401(k) plans shall not be terminated). The Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Company Benefit Plan(s) have been terminated (effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board or any applicable committee thereof. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the

-77-

reasonable review and approval by Parent (the approval of which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event that termination of the Company’s 401(k) plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees, then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent prior to the Closing.

(e) No Third Person Beneficiary Rights.

-84-

on the Financing Termination Date, together with the Termination Notice, a certificate of the Company pursuant to Section 7.2(c), validly executed for and on behalf of the Company and in its name by a duly authorized executive officer thereof as of the Financing Termination Date (the “8.1(i) Officer’s Certificate”), and upon receipt of such 8.1(i) Officer’s Certificate, Parent shall be permitted to elect, and shall notify the Company in writing of such election within 12 hours of receiving the 8.1(i) Officer’s Certificate, to extend the Financing Termination Date to September 30, 2018 (such election, the “Extension Election” and the extension date, the “Extended Financing Termination Date”); provided that if Parent delivers an Extension Election to the Company on the Financing Termination Date in advance of receipt of the 8.1(i) Officer’s Certificate (and stating that it is delivered in anticipation of potential receipt of an 8.1(i) Officer’s Certificate), such Extension Election shall be deemed to have been timely delivered as if it had been delivered immediately following receipt of such 8.1(i) Officer’s Certificate. If Parent makes the Extension Election, then (i) effective as of the Financing Termination Date, (x) the closing conditions set forth in Section 7.2 (including the requirement to deliver a certificate in accordance with Section 7.2(c)) shall be deemed to have been satisfied or waived by Parent and Merger Sub for all purposes of this Agreement (so long as the Company has not intentionally breached Section 5.2(a), Section 5.2(b), Section 5.2(c), Section 5.2(d), Section 5.2(e), Section 5.2(f), Section 5.2(n), Section 5.2(o), Section 5.2(p), Section 5.2(u), Section 5.2(x) or, with respect to the foregoing clauses, Section 5.2(z)) and (y) the 8.1(i) Officer’s Certificate shall be deemed conclusively to be accurate and shall not be subject to challenge by any Party; and (ii) the Company shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement until the Extended Financing Termination Date. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event that Parent is (A) able to consummate the Merger and effect the Closing prior to the Extended Financing Termination Date, then the Termination Notice delivered by the Company shall be automatically, and without any action by the Company, deemed to be withdrawn (and the Parties shall consummate the Merger (giving effect to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in Section 7.2 as of the Financing Termination Date as described in the previous sentence) and effect the Closing); and (B) not able to consummate the Merger and effect the Closing prior to the Extended Financing Termination Date, then the Termination Notice delivered by the Company shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m., Pacific time, on the Extended Financing Termination Date and this Agreement shall be deemed to be validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(i) as of such time unless the Company has revoked the Termination Notice in writing prior to such time.

-85-

Agreement; and (ii) the Company or (subject in all respects to this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Section 9.8 (in each case, including the limitations set forth herein or therein)) Parent or Merger Sub from any liability for its fraud prior to the valid termination of this Agreement (which liability in the case of each of (i) and (ii) the Parties acknowledge and agree (A) will not necessarily be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs; and (B) in the case of any damages sought by the non-breaching Party, may include the benefit of the bargain lost by the non-breaching Party). No valid termination of this Agreement will affect the rights or obligations of any Party pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or the Financing, which rights, obligations and agreements will survive the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.

8.3 Fees and Expenses.

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

(c) Single Payment Only. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event will the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Company Termination Fee may be payable pursuant to more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and upon the occurrence of different events.

(d) Parent Expenses. In the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) pursuant to (A) Section 8.1(c) (if, at the time of such termination, the Company Stockholders Meeting has not been held or if Parent would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)) or (B) Section 8.1(d) (under circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is not then payable pursuant to Section 8.3(b)) and (ii) as of the time of such termination by Parent (or the Company, as applicable), Parent and Merger Sub were not in material breach of their representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, then within two Business Days after demand by Parent, the Company shall pay to Parent up to $440,000 of Parent’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Parent and its Affiliates on or prior to the termination of this Agreement in connection with the Merger (collectively, the “Parent Expenses”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent; it being understood that (1) the existence of circumstances that could require the Company Termination Fee to become subsequently payable by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(i) shall not relieve the Company of its obligations to pay the Parent Expenses pursuant to this Section 8.3(d); and (2) the payment by the Company of the Parent Expenses pursuant to this Section 8.3(d) shall not relieve the Company of any subsequent obligation to pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b)(i) except to the extent indicated in Section 8.3(b)(i).

(f) Payments; Default. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the Merger and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, (i) if the Company fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to Section 8.3(b) and Section 8.3(d) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a judgment against the Company for the amount set forth in Section 8.3(b) or Section 8.3(d) or any portion thereof, then the Company

-87-

will pay or cause to be paid to Parent the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) of Parent in connection with such Legal Proceeding, together with interest on such amount or portion thereof at an annual rate equal to the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date that such payment or portion thereof was required to be made) plus 5% through the date that such payment or portion thereof was actually received, or a lesser rate that is the maximum permitted by applicable Law (the “Applicable Interest Rate”); and (ii) if Parent fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to Section 8.3(e) and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a judgment against Parent for the amount of the Parent Termination Fee or any portion thereof, then Parent will pay or cause to be paid to the Company the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) of the Company in connection with such Legal Proceeding, together with interest on such amount or portion thereof at the Applicable Interest Rate.

9.3 Assignment. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Parties, except that Parent and Merger Sub will have the right to assign all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement from and after the Effective Time (a) in connection with a merger or consolidation involving Parent or Merger Sub or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation; (b) to any of their respective Affiliates, it being understood that, in each case, such assignment will not impede or materially delay the consummation of the Merger or otherwise materially impede the rights of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, Company RSUs or Company Options; or (c) to the extent that Parent incurs alternative financing in accordance with Section 6.4(c), the Financing Sources (or any agent, trustee or other representative acting on behalf or for the benefit of the Financing Sources) for purposes of creating a security interest in this Agreement or otherwise assigning as collateral in respect of the Financing. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment by any Party will relieve such Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

9.4 Confidentiality. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledge that Parent and the Company have previously executed the Confidentiality Agreement, which will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and their respective Representatives will hold and treat all documents and information concerning the Merger in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to in this Agreement, including the Confidentiality Agreement and the Company Disclosure Letter, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement will (a) not be superseded; (b) survive any termination of this Agreement; and (c) continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of the (i) Effective Time and (ii) date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto.

9.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 6.9 and this Section 9.6, the Parties agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other Parties in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to, and will not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies under this Agreement, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated by Section 6.9; (b) if Parent or Merger Sub wrongfully terminates or willfully breaches this Agreement, then, following the termination of this Agreement, the Company, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, may seek damages and other relief (including equitable relief) on behalf of the holders

-91-

of shares of Company Common Stock, Company RSUs and Company Options (which Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree may include damages based on a decrease in share value or lost premium); and (c) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, Company RSUs and Company Options to receive the merger consideration set forth in Article II. The rights granted pursuant to clause (b) of the second sentence of this Section 9.6 will only be enforceable on behalf of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, Company RSUs and Company Options by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, as agent for such holders, and it is understood and agreed that any and all interests in such claims will attach to such shares of the Company Common Stock, Company RSUs or Company Options and subsequently transfer therewith and, consequently, any damages, settlements or other amounts recovered or received by the Company with respect to such claims (net of expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith) may, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, be (A) distributed, in whole or in part, by the Company to such holders as of any date determined by the Company; or (B) retained by the Company for the use and benefit of the Company in any manner that the Company deems fit.

9.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void 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 void or unenforceable provision.

9.8 Remedies.

(a) Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred by this Agreement or by applicable Law on such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) Specific Performance.

(i) Irreparable Damage. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions that are required of it by this Agreement in order to consummate the Merger) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and (B) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Merger and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

-92-

(ii) No Objections. The Parties agree not to raise any objections to (A) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand; and (B) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security.

(iii) Inapplicability of Specific Performance. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that (A) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(i) and (B) the Parent Termination Fee is paid to the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(e), then in no event shall the Company be entitled to seek or receive specific performance or other equitable relief to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement against Parent (including the obligation to consummate the Closing or pay the amounts contemplated by Article II). In such instance, the Parent Termination Fee shall be the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy, as provided by Section 8.3(g)(ii).

9.9 Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware.

9.10 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process (whether inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts) in any Legal Proceeding relating to the Merger, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 9.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, but nothing in this Section 9.10 will affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (b) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any Legal Proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in the event that any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement or the Merger; (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any Chosen Court; (d) agrees that any Legal Proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement or the Merger will be brought, tried and determined only in the Chosen Courts; (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts or that such Legal Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (f) agrees that it will not bring any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Merger in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH

-93-

PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORTIOUS CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER OR THE FINANCING. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (b) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER; (c) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (d) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

9.12 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

9.13 No Limitation. It is the intention of the Parties that, to the extent possible, unless provisions are mutually exclusive and effect cannot be given to both or all such provisions, (a) the representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions in this Agreement will be construed to be cumulative; (b) each representation, warranty, covenant and closing condition in this Agreement will be given full, separate and independent effect; and (c) nothing set forth in any provision in this Agreement will (except to the extent expressly stated) in any way be deemed to limit the scope, applicability or effect of any other provision of this Agreement.
