WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Newco is delivering to the Company Limited Guarantees (the “Guarantees”) of each of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Fund XI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board, a corporation established under the Teachers’ Pension Act (Ontario) (each, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to which the Guarantors have each guaranteed certain of the covenants and obligations of Newco and Merger Sub under this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Newco, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Newco. The Company, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.” Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Newco, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause the Merger to be consummated under the DGCL by filing a certificate of merger in customary form and substance (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”) in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. The time of such filing and acceptance by the Delaware Secretary of State, or such later time as may be agreed in writing by Newco and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, is referred to herein as the “Effective Time.”

1.2 The Surviving Corporation of the Merger.

(a) Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(i) Certificate of Incorporation. Subject to the terms of Section 7.11, at the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and such amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation shall become the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Riverbed Technology, Inc.”

(ii) Bylaws. Subject to the terms of Section 7.11, at the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.

-6-

(b) Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

(i) Directors. At the Effective Time, the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

(ii) Officers. At the Effective Time, the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly appointed.

1.3 General Effects of the Merger. The effects of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock of the Merging Corporations.

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall thereafter evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Capital Stock of the Company.

(i) Generally. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company, or the holders of any of the following securities, other than as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.4(b), each Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested or otherwise subject to a repurchase option or obligation, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with the Company or under which the Company has any rights) shall be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger

-7-

Consideration upon the surrender of the Certificate representing such Share or the transfer of such Uncertificated Share in the manner provided in Section 2.3(c) (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and bond, if required) in the manner provided in Section 2.3(d)); provided, however, that the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, all Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration issuable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i). The Merger Consideration issued upon the surrender for exchange of Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Share which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a certificate representing Shares is presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, then such certificate shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.4(b).

(ii) Owned Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company, or the holders of any of the following securities, each Share that is owned by Newco, Merger Sub or the Company, or by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Newco, Merger Sub or the Company, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Owned Shares”), shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

(iii) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Owned Shares) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such Shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law with respect to such Shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment of the appraised value of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.4(b)(i), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such Share or transfer of such Uncertificated Share, as the case may be. The Company shall provide Newco prompt written notice

-8-

of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Delaware Law that relates to such demand, and Newco shall have the opportunity and right to participate in and direct all negotiations and Legal Proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Newco, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

(i) Stock Options. Newco shall not assume any Company Options in connection with the Merger. At the Effective Time, each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall, without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into, and shall become a right to receive, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per share of such Company Option, multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares issuable upon the exercise in full of such Company Option (the “Option Consideration”); provided that, if the exercise price per share of any such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof. The payment of the Option Consideration will be subject to withholding for all required Taxes. The Company agrees to take all action necessary to effect this cancellation of Company Options upon the Effective Time and to give effect to this Section 1.4(c)(i) (including the satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act). As soon as practicable (and in no event more than thirty (30) calendar days) following the Closing, Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each holder of a Company Option the Option Consideration (if any), less any applicable withholding taxes, required to be paid to the holder of such Company Option. The cancellation of a Company Option as provided in the first sentence of this Section 1.4(c)(i) shall be deemed the termination, and satisfaction in full of, any and all rights the holder had or may have had in respect of such Company Option.

(ii) Restricted Stock Units. Newco shall not assume any Restricted Stock Units in connection with the Merger. At the Effective Time, each award of Restricted Stock Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall, without any action on the part of Newco, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into, and shall become a right to receive, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares subject to such award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Restricted Stock Unit Consideration”). With respect to any award of Performance Restricted Stock Units, all performance goals will be deemed achieved pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan governing such Performance Restricted Stock Units for purposes of determining the number of Shares in Section 1.4(c)(ii)(y). The payment of the Restricted Stock Unit Consideration will be subject to withholding for all required Taxes. The Company agrees to take all action necessary to effect this cancellation of Restricted Stock Units upon the Effective Time and to give effect to this Section 1.4(c)(ii) (including the satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act). As soon as practicable (and in no event

-9-

more than thirty (30) calendar days) following the Closing, Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each holder of Restricted Stock Units (other than Performance Restricted Stock Units) the Restricted Stock Unit Consideration, less any applicable withholding taxes, required to be paid to the holder of such Restricted Stock Units. Following the Closing, Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each holder of Performance Restricted Stock Units, the Restricted Stock Unit Consideration, less any applicable withholding taxes, required to be paid to the holder of such Performance Restricted Stock Units, and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions (if any) of the applicable plan governing such Performance Restricted Stock Units, as described on Schedule 1.4(c)(ii) attached hereto. The cancellation of an award of Restricted Stock Units as provided in the first sentence of this Section 1.4(c)(ii) shall be deemed the termination, and satisfaction in full of, any and all rights the holder had or may have had in respect of such award of Restricted Stock Units.

(d) Company ESPP. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate actions so that (i) all outstanding purchase rights under the Company ESPP shall automatically be exercised, in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP, upon the earlier of (x) immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the last day of the Offering Period (as defined in the Company ESPP) in progress as of the date of this Agreement (the “Final Offering”), (ii) the Company ESPP shall terminate with such purchase and no further purchase rights are granted under the Company ESPP thereafter, (iii) each individual participating in the Company ESPP shall not be permitted (x) to increase the amount of his or her rate of payroll contributions thereunder from the rate in effect on the date of this Agreement, or (y) to make separate non-payroll contributions to the Company ESPP on or following the date of this Agreement; and (iv) no individual who is not participating in the Company ESPP as of the date of this Agreement may commence participation in the Company ESPP following the date of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be permitted to extend any Offering Period under the Company ESPP that is outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. All Shares purchased in the Final Offering shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1.5 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent 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, the directors and officers of the Company and Merger Sub shall have the authority to take all such lawful and necessary action. The Company (including the Company Board and each relevant committee thereof) will ensure that following the Effective Time no participant in any Company Equity Incentive Plan or other similar Employee Plan will have any right thereunder to acquire any equity securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

-10-

1.6 No Further Dividends. 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.

Promptly following the Effective Time, Newco and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (excluding Owned Shares and Dissenting Shares) (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or transfer of non-certificated Shares (excluding Owned Shares and Dissenting Shares) represented by book entry (“Uncertificated Shares”) to the Payment Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of Article I.

Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, from and after the Effective Time each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of Article I. If Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article I.

From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Shares 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.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration issuable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i); provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(e) Transferred Shares. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall

pay to the Payment Agent any transfer or other similar Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Payment Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) Tax Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Newco and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under Applicable Law. To the extent that 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Newco, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

As used in this Section 4.8, the term “Solvent” shall mean, with respect to a particular date, that on such date, (a) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of Newco and, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) and of each of them (on a stand-alone basis) will exceed their debts, (b) Newco and, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) and each of them (on a stand-alone basis) has not incurred and does not intend to incur, and does not believe that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as such debts mature, and (c)

Newco has and, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) and each them (on a stand-alone basis) will have, sufficient capital and liquidity with which to conduct

-38-

its business. For purposes of this Section 4.8, “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means any (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, and (ii) any right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

4.9 Financing.

(a) Newco has delivered to the Company a complete and accurate copy of executed commitment letters of even date herewith (the “Equity Commitment Letters”) from the Equity Financing Sources pursuant to which the Equity Financing Sources have committed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, equity financing for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”). The Equity Commitment Letters provide that (i) the Company is a third-party beneficiary thereof in connection with the Company’s exercise of its rights under Section 9.11(c) and (ii) subject in all respects to Section 9.11(c), Newco and the Equity Financing Sources will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the exercise of such third-party beneficiary rights. The Equity Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered to the Company, is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Newco and the Equity Financing Sources, fully and specifically enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Limitations.

(b) Newco has delivered to the Company a complete and accurate copy of an executed commitment letter of even date herewith, and the executed fee letter related thereto of even date herewith (which such fee letter may be redacted so long as no redaction covers terms that would adversely affect the amount, conditionality, availability or termination of the Debt Financing), together with any related engagement letters, exhibits, schedules, annexes, supplements, term sheets and other agreements, in each case from Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Credit Suisse AG, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Citibank, N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc., Citicorp North America, Inc. and Barclays Bank PLC (collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter” and together with the Equity Commitment Letters, the “Financing Commitment Letters”), pursuant to which the agents, arrangers, managers, lenders and other entities party thereto (together with their respective affiliates and their respective affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, controlling persons, agents and Representatives and their respective successors and assigns), the “Debt Financing Sources” and together with the Equity Financing Sources, the “Financing Sources”) has/have committed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, debt financing for the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Debt Financing” and together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”). Any reference in this Agreement to (i) “Equity Commitment Letters,” “Debt Commitment Letters” or “Financing Commitment Letters” will include such documents as amended or modified in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.3, and (ii) the “Financing” will include the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letters as amended or modified in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.3. As of the date of this Agreement, Newco has fully paid, or caused to be fully paid, any and all commitment fees or

-39-

other fees that have been incurred and are due and payable in connection with the Financing Commitment Letters on or prior to the date of this Agreement, and Newco will pay, or cause to be paid, when due all other commitment fees and other fees arising under the Financing Commitment Letters as and when they become due and payable thereunder. The Debt Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered to the Company, is in full force and effect as of the date hereof, and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Newco and, to the knowledge of Newco, the other parties thereto, enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Limitations.

(c) The aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letters are sufficient (after netting out applicable fees, expenses, original issue discount and similar premiums and charges and after giving effect to the maximum amount of flex (including original issue discount flex) provided under the Debt Commitment Letter) to enable Newco to (i) consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) pay all of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of Shares in the Merger pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) pay all amounts payable in respect of Company Options and the Restricted Stock Unit Consideration under this Agreement, (iv) pay all liabilities and other obligations of the Company contemplated to be funded by Newco under by this Agreement, and (v) pay all related fees and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Financing Commitment Letters incurred by Newco, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates and required to be paid at the Closing by such party.

(d) As of the date of this Agreement, (i) none of the Financing Commitment Letters have been amended or modified (and no such amendment or modification is contemplated except in connection with any amendments or modifications to effectuate any “market flex” terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter provided as of the date hereof), and (ii) the respective commitments set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect (and no such withdrawal or rescission is contemplated). Except as set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters, there are no side letters or other agreements, contracts or arrangements to which Newco or Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates is a party relating to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Newco under any term or condition of the Financing Commitment Letters, or otherwise result in any portion of the Financing contemplated thereby to be unavailable. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters in the form so delivered to the Company. As of the date of this Agreement, Newco has no reason to believe that any term or condition to the Financing set forth in the Financing Commitment Letters will not be fully satisfied on a timely basis or that the Financing will not be available to Newco at the Closing, including any reason to believe that any of the Financing Sources, or the Equity Financing Sources will not perform their respective funding obligations under the Financing Commitment Letters in accordance with their respective terms and conditions.

-40-

(e) None of the Guarantors, Equity Financing Sources, Newco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates has entered into any Contract with any Person prohibiting or seeking to prohibit such Person from providing or seeking to provide debt financing to any Person in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger.

4.10 Guarantees. The Guarantees are in full force and effect and are valid and binding obligation of the Guarantors, enforceable against each of the Guarantors in accordance with its terms (subject to the Enforceability Limitations) and no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could constitute a default on the part of the Guarantors under such Guarantees.

4.11 No Knowledge of Misrepresentations or Omissions. Neither Newco nor Merger Sub has any knowledge that any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement is not true and correct in all material respects. Neither Newco nor Merger Sub has any knowledge of any material errors in, or material omissions from, the Company Disclosure Letter.

4.12 Non-Reliance. Newco and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge (each for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and Representatives) that, as of the date hereof, Newco, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates and Representatives (a) have received full access to (i) such books and records, facilities, equipment, contracts and other assets of the Company that Newco and Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates and Representatives, as of the date hereof, have requested to review and (ii) the electronic data room hosted by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) have had full opportunity to meet with the management of the Company and to discuss the business and assets of the Company. Newco and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge and agree (each for itself and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and Representatives) that, except for the representations and warranties of the Company expressly set forth in Article III, (a) none of the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (or any other Person) makes, or has made, any representation or warranty (whether express or implied) relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, operations, properties, assets, liabilities or otherwise in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including as to the accuracy or completeness of any such information, and none of Newco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives is relying on any representation or warranty except for those representations and warranties of the Company expressly set forth in Article III, (b) no Person has been authorized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make any representation or warranty relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, operations, properties, assets, liabilities or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and if made, such representation or warranty has not been and may not be relied upon by Newco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives as having been

-41-

authorized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any other Person), and (c) any estimate, projection, prediction, data, financial information, memorandum, presentation or any other materials or information provided or addressed to Newco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, including any materials or information made available in the electronic data room hosted by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with presentations by the Company’s management, are not and shall not be deemed to be or include representations or warranties unless and to the extent any such materials or information is expressly the subject of any express representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Article III. Newco and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge (each for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and Representatives) that it has conducted, to its satisfaction, its own independent investigation of the business, operations and financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Newco, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates and Representatives have relied on the results of their own independent investigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.12 serves to modify the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article III (as modified by the Company Disclosure Letter) or the right of Newco and the Merger Sub to rely thereupon.

(i) Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1(c), (A) the Company Board shall (x) recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and (y) include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, and (B) neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (1) fail to make, withdraw, amend, modify or qualify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner that is adverse to Newco, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, modify or qualify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner that is adverse to Newco, (2) approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Transaction, (3) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within three (3) Business Days after Newco so requests in writing following any public statement by a stockholder of the Company or a member of the Company Board expressing opposition to the Merger or the Merger Consideration (it being understood that the Company Board shall have no obligation to so reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation on more than two occasions), (4) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or (5) fail to publicly recommend against any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Transaction subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in a

-50-

Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Transaction (the actions or inactions referred to in the preceding clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) being referred to herein as a “Company Board Recommendation Change”).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval in the event that:

(A) the Company Board has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement that was not solicited in violation of Section 6.2(a);

(B) The Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal (which determination and any public announcement thereof shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change);

(C) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company Board shall have given Newco at least three (3) Business Days’ notice of its intention to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 7.1(c)(ii) (the “Change of Recommendation Notice Period”) (which notice shall include the most current version of the proposed definitive agreement (which shall be marked to show changes to this Agreement) and, to the extent not included therein, all material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal);

(D) if requested by Newco, during the Change of Recommendation Notice Period, the Company shall have met and negotiated in good faith with Newco regarding modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to be a Superior Proposal;

(E) prior to the end of the Change of Recommendation Notice Period, Newco shall not have made a counter-offer or proposal in writing and in a manner that, if accepted by the Company, would form a binding contract, that the Company Board determines (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside legal counsel) is at least as favorable to stockholders of the Company as such Superior Proposal (it being understood that (x) any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including, any revision in price, shall require a new notice pursuant to clause (C) above, (y) the Change of Recommendation Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to the extent necessary to ensure that at least three (3) Business Days remain in the Change of Recommendation Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Newco of any such material revision and (z) there may be multiple extensions of the Change of Recommendation Notice Period); and

-51-

(F) the Company Board determines (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and after considering any counter-offer or proposal made by Newco pursuant to clause (E) above), that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval in the event that the Company Board determines (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties; provided that, prior to effecting a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 7.1(c)(iii), the Company Board shall have given Newco at least three (3) Business Days’ notice of its intention to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 7.1(c)(iii) (which notice shall include the reason (in reasonable detail) for such Company Board Recommendation Change) and, if requested by Newco, the Company shall have met and negotiated in good faith with Newco regarding modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Company Board no longer determines that the failure to make a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties.

(iv) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from taking and disclosing to stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act or any other Applicable Law; provided, however, that any statement(s) made by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, further, for avoidance of doubt, that it shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change for the Company Board to make a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d9-f.

7.2 Regulatory Approvals.

(a) Filings and Cooperation. As soon as reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of Newco and the Company shall file with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ a Notification and Report Form relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) as required by the HSR Act, as well as comparable pre-merger notification filings, forms and submissions that are required in the Relevant Antitrust Jurisdictions. Each of Newco and the Company shall (a) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the making of such filings, (b) supply the other with any information that may be required in order to effectuate such filings, and (c) supply any additional information that reasonably may be required or requested by the FTC, the DOJ or the competition or merger control authorities of any other jurisdiction and that Newco reasonably deems necessary and/or appropriate. Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, of any communication

-52-

from any Governmental Authority in the U.S. or any Relevant Antitrust Jurisdictions regarding the Merger or any other the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any party hereto or Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such party shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

(b) Remedies. In furtherance and not in limitation of the provisions of Section 7.2(a), if and to the extent necessary to obtain clearance of the Merger pursuant to the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws applicable to the Merger, each of Newco and Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable) and the Company and its Subsidiaries will (i) offer, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, any restrictions on the activities of Newco and Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand; and (ii) contest, defend and appeal any Legal Proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger; provided that, neither Newco nor Merger Sub (nor their respective Affiliates, if applicable) or the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be required to sell, divest, license or otherwise dispose of any capital stock or other equity or voting interest, assets (whether tangible or intangible), rights, products or businesses of Newco or Merger Sub (or their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand; provided, further, that neither Newco nor Merger Sub (nor their respective Affiliates) shall be required to take any action that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse impact on the reasonably expected benefits to Newco or Merger Sub (or their respective Affiliates) of completing the Merger.

7.3 Financing.

(a) No Amendments to Financing Commitment Letters. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Newco and Merger Sub will not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Financing Commitment Letters if such amendment, modification or waiver would, or could reasonably be expected to, (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (unless the Equity Financing is increased by an equivalent amount) or reduce the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing, (ii) impose new or additional conditions or other terms (except in connection with any “market flex” terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter provided as of the date hereof) to the Financing, or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) delay, prevent or materially impede the consummation of the Merger, or (B) make the timely funding of the Financing, or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing, less likely to occur in any respect, or (iii) adversely impact the ability of Newco, Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements with respect thereto. In addition to the foregoing, Newco shall not release or consent to the termination of the Debt Commitment Letters or of any individual lender under the Debt Commitment Letters, except for (x)

-53-

assignments and replacements of an individual lender under the terms of, and only in connection with, the syndication of the Debt Financing under the Debt Commitment Letters, or (y) replacements of the Debt Commitment Letters with alternative financing commitments pursuant to Section 7.3(c).

(b) Equity Financing. Newco shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions and do (or cause to be done) all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Equity Financing, including by (i) maintaining in effect the Equity Commitment Letters, (ii) complying with its obligations under the Equity Commitment Letters, (iii) satisfying on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Newco or Merger Sub in such Equity Commitment Letters that are within its control, if any, (iv) enforcing its rights under the Equity Commitment Letters and (v) consummating the Equity Financing at or prior to Closing, including by causing the Equity Financing Sources to fund the Equity Financing at the Closing, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letters.

(c) Debt Financing and Alternate Debt Financing. Newco shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange the Debt Financing and obtain the financing contemplated thereby on the terms and conditions (including, to the extent required, the full exercise of any flex provisions) set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, (ii) comply with its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter, (iii) negotiate, execute and deliver definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, (iv) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to funding that are applicable to Newco and Merger Sub in the Debt Commitment Letter and the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, (v) enforce its rights pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter, and (vi) consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing, including by causing the Debt Financing Sources to fund the Debt Financing at the Closing. Newco and Merger Sub will fully pay, or cause to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees arising pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter as and when they become due. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, Newco shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, (i) obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on terms and conditions not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Newco and Merger Sub than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and in an amount at least equal to the Debt Financing or such unavailable portion thereof, as the case may be (the “Alternate Debt Financing”), and (ii) obtain one or more new financing commitment letters with respect to such Alternate Debt Financing (the “New Debt Commitment Letters”), which New Debt Commitment Letters will replace the existing Debt Commitment Letter in whole or in part. Newco shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of any New Debt Commitment Letters (and any fee letter in connection therewith). In the event that any New Debt Commitment Letters are obtained, (A) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing Commitment Letters” or the “Debt Commitment Letter” will be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letter to the extent not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter at the time in question and any New Debt Commitment Letters to the extent then in effect, and (B) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing” or the “Debt Financing” means the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as modified pursuant to the foregoing.

-54-

(d) Information. Newco shall (i) keep the Company fully informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing, and (ii) provide the Company with copies of all executed definitive agreements related to the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Newco and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company (A) of any breach (or threatened breach) or default (or any event or circumstance that, with notice or lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to the Financing Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing, (B) of the receipt by Newco or Merger Sub of any oral or written notice or communication from the Equity Financing Sources or any Debt Financing Source with respect to any (1) breach (or threatened breach), default, termination or repudiation by any party to a Financing Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Commitment Letter or such definitive agreements, or (2) dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to a Financing Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related to the Financing, and (C) if for any reason Newco or Merger Sub at any time believes that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing. Newco shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any of the circumstances referred to in the previous sentence as soon as reasonably practical (but in any event within one Business Day) after the date that the Company delivers a written request therefor to Newco. Newco shall, and shall use its best efforts to cause the Equity Financing Sources and the Debt Financing Sources to, provide the Company and its Representatives with such access to Newco, the Equity Financing Sources and the Debt Financing Sources as the Company and its Representatives may reasonably request for the purpose of allowing the Company and its Representatives to understand the status of Newco’s efforts to arrange the Financing; provided that Newco and its Representatives shall be permitted to participate in any such discussions or communications.

(e) No Financing Condition. Newco and Merger Sub each acknowledge and agree that obtaining the Financing is not a condition to the Closing.

(f) Company Support.

(i) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to use its respective reasonable best efforts, to provide Newco with all cooperation reasonably requested by Newco to assist it in causing the conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter to be satisfied or as is otherwise reasonably requested by Newco in connection with the Debt Financing, including:

(A) participating (and causing senior management and Representatives, with appropriate seniority and expertise, of the Company, to participate) in a reasonable and limited number of meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies, and otherwise cooperating with the marketing efforts for any of the Debt Financing;

-55-

(B) assisting Newco and the Debt Financing Sources with the timely preparation of customary (i) rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing; (ii) high-yield offering documents, prospectuses, memoranda and similar documents required in connection with the Financing; and (iii) forecasts of financial statements of the Surviving Corporation for one or more periods following the Closing;

(C) assisting Newco in connection with the preparation and registration of (but not executing, unless effective only at or following the Effective Time) any pledge and security documents, supplemental indentures, currency or interest hedging arrangements and other definitive financing documents as may be reasonably requested by Newco or the Debt Financing Sources (including using reasonable best efforts to obtain consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials relating to the Debt Financing and accountants’ comfort letters, in each case as reasonably requested by Newco), and otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral and the granting of security interests in respect of the Debt Financing, it being understood that such documents will not take effect until the Effective Time;

(D) furnishing Newco and the Debt Financing Sources, as promptly as practicable, with (x) all financial statements, financial data, audit reports and other information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries of the type that would be required by Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC for a registered public offering of non-convertible debt securities of the Company, including audits thereof to the extent required, and (y) such other pertinent and customary information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Newco to the extent that such information is of the type and form customarily included in an offering memorandum for private placements of non-convertible high-yield bonds pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include (or be deemed to require the Company to prepare) any (1) pro forma financial statements or adjustments (including regarding any synergies, cost savings, ownership or other post-Closing adjustments) or projections (provided that the Company will reasonably cooperate and assist Newco in its preparation of such materials), (2) description of all or any portion of the Financing, including any “description of notes,” or other information customarily provided by the Debt Financing Sources or its counsel, (3) risk factors relating to all or any component of the Financing, (4) separate financial statements in respect of its Subsidiaries, or (5) other information required by Rule 3-09, Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X, any Compensation, Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K, any information required by Items 10 through 14 of Form 10-K or any other information customarily excluded from an offering memorandum for private placements of non-convertible high-yield bonds pursuant to Rule 144A) or otherwise necessary to receive from the Company’s independent accountants (and any other accountant to the extent that financial statements audited or reviewed by such accountants are or would be included in such offering memorandum) customary “comfort” (including “negative assurance” comfort), together with drafts of customary comfort letters that such independent

-56-

accountants are prepared to deliver upon the “pricing” of any high-yield bonds being issued in lieu of any portion of the Debt Financing, with respect to the financial information to be included in such offering memorandum (all such information and documents in this Section 7.3(f)(i)(D), other than such information that is expressly excluded by clauses (1) through (5) above, the “Required Financial Information”). If the Company in good faith reasonably believes that it has provided the Required Financial Information, it may deliver to Newco a written notice stating when it believes that it completed such delivery, in which case the Company will be deemed to have complied with this Section 7.3(f)(i)(D) and the Marketing Period shall be deemed to have commenced as of such date unless Newco or the Debt Financing Source in good faith reasonably believe that the Company has not completed delivery of the Required Financial Information and, within three (3) Business Days after the delivery of such notice by the Company, deliver a written notice to the Company to that effect, stating in good faith the specific items of Required Financial Information the Company has not delivered, in which case such Required Financial Information shall be deemed to have been delivered and the Marketing Period to have commenced when such specific items have been delivered by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such Required Financial Information will be deemed to not have been delivered if, at any point prior to the completion of the Debt Financing, (a) such Required Financial Information contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make such Required Financial Information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (b) such Required Financial Information is not compliant in all material respects with all requirements of Regulation S-K and Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (excluding information required by Regulation S-X Rule 3-10 and Regulation S-X Rule 3-16) for offerings of debt securities on a registration statement on Form S-1 or sufficient to permit such a registration statement on Form S-1 from being declared effective by the SEC; (c) the Company’s auditors have withdrawn any audit opinion with respect to any financial statements contained in the Required Financial Information; (d) with respect to any interim financial statements (including any corresponding predecessor periods), such interim financial statements have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors as provided in the procedures specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in AU 722; and (e) the Company’s auditors have not delivered drafts of customary comfort letters, including as to customary negative assurances and change period, or such auditors indicated that they are not prepared to issue such comfort letter; provided that after commencement of the Marketing Period, the delivery of additional financial statements or pro forma financial information required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 7.3(f)(i)(D) due to the passage of time shall not terminate or restart the Marketing Period;

(E) cooperating with Newco to obtain customary and reasonable corporate and facilities ratings, consents, landlord waivers and estoppels, non-disturbance agreements, non-invasive environmental assessments, legal opinions, surveys and title insurance as reasonably requested by Newco, including in connection with any arrangements to be effectuated after the Closing;

(F) reasonably facilitating the pledging or the reaffirmation of the pledge of collateral (including obtaining and delivering any pay-off letters and other cooperation in connection with the repayment or other retirement of existing indebtedness and the release and termination of any and all related liens) on or prior to the Closing Date;

-57-

(G) delivering notices of prepayment within the time periods required by the relevant agreements governing indebtedness and obtaining customary payoff letters, lien terminations and instruments of discharge to be delivered at the Closing, and giving any other necessary notices, to allow for the payoff, discharge and termination in full at the Closing of all indebtedness;

(H) providing executed authorization letters to the Debt Financing Sources authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders or investors and containing a representation to the Debt Financing Sources that the public side versions of such documents, if any, do not include material non-public information about the Company or its Subsidiaries or securities and executing ratings agency engagement letters as required in connection with the Debt Financing (provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any cost or expenses relating to rating agency engagement letters);

(I) taking all corporate and other actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably requested by Newco to (1) permit the consummation of the Debt Financing (including, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, distributing the proceeds of the Debt Financing, if any, obtained by any Subsidiary of the Company to the Surviving Corporation), and (2) cause the direct borrowing or incurrence of all of the proceeds of the Debt Financing, including any high-yield debt financing, by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries concurrently with or immediately following the Effective Time; and

(J) furnishing Newco and the Debt Financing Sources with all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities pursuant to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3(f)(i) or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (A) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay any fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Effective Time for which it has not received prior reimbursement or is not otherwise indemnified by or on behalf of Newco, (B) enter into any definitive agreement (other than with respect to authorization letters and ratings agency engagement letters referred to in Section 7.3(f)(i)(H) that is effective prior to the Closing), (C) give any indemnities in connection with the Financing that are effective prior to the Effective Time, (D) take any action that, in the good faith determination of the Company, would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business or the Company and its Subsidiaries or create an unreasonable risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (E) provide any information the disclosure of which is prohibited or restricted under Applicable Law or is legally privileged, or (F) take any action that will conflict with or violate its organizational documents or any Applicable Laws or would result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. In addition, (1) no action,

-58-

liability or obligation of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument relating to the Debt Financing will be effective until the Effective Time, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to take any action pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument (including being an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing) that is not contingent on the occurrence of the Closing or that must be effective prior to the Effective Time, and (2) any bank information memoranda and high-yield offering prospectuses or memoranda required in relation to the Debt Financing will contain disclosure and financial statements reflecting the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries as the obligor. Nothing in this Section 7.3 will require (A) any officer or Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to deliver any certificate or opinion or take any other action pursuant to Section 7.3(f)(i) or any other provision of this Agreement that could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to such officer or Representative, or (B) the members of the Company Board as of immediately prior to the Effective Time to approve any financing or Contracts related thereto prior to the Effective Time.

(g) Use of Logos. The Company hereby consents to the use of all logos of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Financing so long as such logos (i) are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) are used solely in connection with a description of the Company, its business and products or the Merger.

(h) Confidentiality. All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company or any of its Representatives pursuant to this Agreement will be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Newco and Merger Sub will be permitted to disclose such information to any financing sources or prospective financing sources and other financial institutions and investors that are or may become parties to the Debt Financing and to any underwriters, initial purchasers or placement agents in connection with the Debt Financing (and, in each case, to their respective counsel and auditors) so long as such Persons (i) agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement as if parties thereto, or (ii) are subject to other confidentiality undertakings reasonably satisfactory to the Company and of which the Company is a beneficiary.

(i) Company Reimbursement and Indemnification.

(i) Upon request by the Company, Newco shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days of invoice) reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the support and cooperation contemplated by Section 7.3(f).

(ii) Newco shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and other representatives, from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, interest, costs or expenses (including legal fees and expenses), awards, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in settlement

-59-

suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with providing the support and cooperation contemplated by Section 7.3(f) and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries).

(j) No Exclusive Arrangements. In no event will the Guarantors, the Equity Financing Sources, Newco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates (which for this purpose will be deemed to include each direct investor in Newco or Merger Sub and the financing sources or potential financing sources of Newco, Merger Sub and such investors) enter into or enforce any Contract prohibiting or seeking to prohibit any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing for the Merger or any other transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from providing or seeking to provide debt or equity financing to any Person in connection with the Merger or any other transaction relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

7.4 Efforts to Close.

(a) Reasonable Best Efforts. In furtherance and not in limitation of the other covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, including Sections 7.2 and 7.3, each of Newco, Merger Sub and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to take (or cause to be taken) all actions, and to do (or cause to be done), and to assist and cooperate with the other party or parties hereto in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 2.2 to be satisfied or fulfilled, (ii) obtain all necessary consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Authorities, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and all other applicable Antitrust Laws in the Relevant Antitrust Jurisdictions, (iii) obtain all other necessary consents, waivers, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Authorities and make all registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Authorities, including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, in each case that are necessary or advisable to consummate the Merger, and (iii) obtain all necessary or appropriate consents, waivers and approvals under any Contracts to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to maintain and preserve the benefits under such Contracts following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger).

(b) Forbearance. In addition to the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) Newco or Merger Sub shall not (and shall cause their Affiliates, including the Equity Financing Sources, to not), and (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, in each case take any action, or fail to take any action, that is intended to or has (or would reasonably be expected to have) the effect of preventing, impairing, materially delaying or otherwise adversely affecting (i) the consummation of the Merger, including (A) imposing any delay in the obtaining of, or materially

-60-

increasing the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, order, declaration or approval of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Merger or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (B) increasing the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (C) increasing the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise, or (D) delaying or preventing the consummation of the Merger or (ii) the ability of such party to fully perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall restrict Affiliates of Newco or Merger Sub from acquiring any capital stock or other equity or voting interests, assets (whether tangible or intangible), rights, products or businesses of any Person. For the avoidance of doubt, no action by the Company taken in compliance with Section 7.3(f) will be considered a violation of this Section 7.4.

(c) No Consent Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to agree to the payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration (including increased or accelerated payments), or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty), in connection with the Merger, including in connection with obtaining any consent pursuant to any Material Contract.

7.5 Access to the Company. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall afford Newco and its Representatives (i) reasonable access, during normal business hours and after reasonable advance notice, to all assets, properties, books and records and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Newco may reasonably request; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 would be in violation of the HSR Act, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, or any applicable non-U.S. antitrust or competition laws; (c) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other privilege applicable to such documents or information; (d) access to a Contract to which the Company or any of its 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; (e) access would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third Persons; or (f) such documents or information are reasonably pertinent to any adverse Legal Proceeding between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Newco and its Affiliates, on the other hand, and (ii) to the extent available and prepared in the ordinary course of business, for the period beginning after the date of this Agreement and ending at the Effective Time, as soon as practicable after the end of each calendar month, and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter, a copy of the monthly consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including statements of financial condition, results of operations and statements of cash flow.

(a) Existing Agreements and Protections. The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any and all indemnification agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Persons”). In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificates of incorporation and 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 certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six-year period such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by Applicable Law.

(b) Indemnification. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 7.11(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person 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 in connection with any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry arises directly or indirectly out of or pertains directly or indirectly to (i) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, at or after the Effective Time), or (ii) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Newco a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 7.11(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall 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 hereunder with respect thereto), (ii) each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (iii) the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by an Indemnified Person promptly after statements therefor are received, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control

the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, and (iv) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any settlement effected without his or her prior express written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.11(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Surviving Corporation nor any of its Affiliates (including Newco) shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person under this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry.

(c) Insurance. During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligations under this Section 7.11(c), the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such three hundred percent (300%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”) (which premiums the Company represents and warrants to be as set forth in Section 7.11(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter); provided, further, that that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance. In the event that the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of the Surviving Corporation (and Newco) under the first sentence of this Section 7.11(c) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(d) Successors and Assigns. If the Surviving Corporation (or Newco) or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation (or Newco) set forth in this Section 7.11.

(e) No Impairment; Third Party Beneficiaries. The obligations set forth in this Section 7.11 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.11(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person who is a beneficiary under

-65-

the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.11(c) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.11(c) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.11, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.11(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 7.11 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificates of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or Applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

(f) Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations and liability of the Surviving Corporation, Newco and their respective Subsidiaries under this Section 7.11 shall be joint and several.

7.12 Employee Matters.

(a) Acknowledgment of Change of Control. Newco hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Employee Plans, as applicable, will occur as of the Effective Time, as applicable.

(b) Existing Agreements. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) honor all Employee Plans and compensation arrangements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding equity based benefits), provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall prohibit the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any such Employee Plans, arrangements or agreements in accordance with their terms or if otherwise required by this Agreement or Applicable Law.

(c) Continuation of Company Plans. As of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) employ the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are employed as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time (or, if earlier, the date of termination of employment of the relevant Continuing Employee), the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) either (i) maintain for the benefit of each Continuing Employee the Employee Plans (other than equity based benefits and individual employment agreements not providing for severance) and any other employee benefit plans or other

-66-

compensation and severance arrangements of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (other than equity-based plans and individual employment agreements not providing for severance) (together, the “Company Plans”) at benefit levels that are no less than those in effect at the Company or its Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement, and provide compensation and benefits to each Continuing Employee under such Company Plans, or (ii) provide compensation, benefits and severance payments (other than equity based benefits and individual employment agreements not providing for severance) to each Continuing Employee that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in the aggregate than the compensation, benefits and severance payments (other than equity based benefits and individual employment agreements not providing for severance) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Comparable Plans”), or (iii) provide some combination of (i) and (ii) above such that each Continuing Employee receives compensation, benefits and severance payments (other than equity based benefits and individual employment agreements not providing for severance) that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in the aggregate than the compensation, benefits and severance payments (other than equity based benefits and individual employment agreements not providing for severance) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time. In each case, target annual cash compensation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the target value of cash compensation that is payable based on achievement against Company performance objectives) shall not be decreased for a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time for any Continuing Employee employed during that period. For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Newco will cause the Surviving Corporation to) provide severance benefits to eligible employees in accordance with the Company’s severance plans, guidelines and practices as in effect on the date of this Agreement and that have been made available to Newco prior to the Closing and are set forth on Schedule 7.12(c) attached hereto.

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Plans) (such plans, collectively, the “New Plans”) to the extent coverage under any such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, the Surviving Corporation shall cause all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar

-67-

requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent waived for such person under the analogous Employee Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date, and the Surviving Corporation shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be given full credit under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan, and (iii) credit the accounts of such Continuing Employees under any New Plan which is a flexible spending plan with any unused balance in the account of such Continuing Employee under the applicable Company Plan. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time, and shall not be subject to accrual limits other forfeiture that were not applicable as of the Effective Time.

(e) No Third Party Beneficiary Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Section 7.12 will not be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Newco, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate any Continuing Employee for any reason; (ii) subject to the limitations and requirements specifically set forth in this Section 7.12, require Newco, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to continue any Company Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time; (iii) create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person; or (iv) establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

-68-

or transferred to the Company immediately before the Closing (including pursuant to the repayment of outstanding intercompany obligations) any cash balances held by any non-U.S. Subsidiaries (the “Repatriation Actions”); provided, however, that no distribution or transfer will be required to be made (i) to the extent that such distribution or transfer would be subject to withholding or other Taxes in advance of the Effective Time, and (ii) unless and until all of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 2.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder) at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of such conditions at the Closing) and Newco has irrevocably confirmed that it is prepared to consummate the Closing.

Newco, Merger Sub and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 8.4 are an integral part of this Agreement and the Merger, and that, without these agreements, Newco, Merger Sub and the Company would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 8.4(a) or Newco fails to promptly pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 8.4(b) and, in order to obtain such payment, Newco, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a judgment against the Company for the amount set forth in Section 8.4(a) or any portion thereof or a judgment against Newco for the amount set forth in Section 8.4(b) or any portion thereof, as applicable, the Company will pay to Newco or Newco will pay to the Company, as the case may be, its out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) in connection with such Legal Proceeding, together with interest on such amount or portion thereof at the annual rate of five percent (5%) plus 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 through the date that such payment or portion thereof was actually received, or a lesser rate that is the maximum permitted by Applicable Law.

(d) Newco Expenses. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (i) Section 8.1(c) under circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is not then payable pursuant to Section 8.4(a)(i) or (ii) Section 8.1(h), and as of the time of such termination by Newco, Newco and Merger Sub were not in material breach of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement, then within one (1) Business Day after demand by Newco, the

-73-

Company shall pay to Newco up to $4,000,000 of Newco’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by Newco and its Affiliates on or prior to the termination of this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Financing) (the “Newco Expenses”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Newco; provided, that the existence of circumstances which could require the Company Termination Fee to become subsequently payable by the Company pursuant to Section 8.4(a)(i) shall not relieve the Company of its obligations to pay the Newco Expenses pursuant to this Section 8.4(d); provided, further, that the payment by the Company of Newco Expenses pursuant to this Section 8.4(d) shall not relieve the Company of any subsequent obligation to pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.4(a)(i) except to the extent indicated in Section 8.4(a)(i).

(e) Acknowledgement. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.4 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee or a Newco Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.4(a) or Section 8.4(b) are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Newco or the Company, as the case may be, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) without the agreements contained in this Section 8.4, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement.

9.6 Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company, Newco and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement shall terminate at the Effective Time.

9.7 Expenses. Subject to Section 8.4(c), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) shall be paid by the party or parties, as applicable, incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

9.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Voting Agreements, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

-77-

CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER NEWCO AND MERGER SUB, ON THE ONE HAND, NOR THE COMPANY, ON THE OTHER HAND, MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO THE OTHER, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OTHER INFORMATION, MADE (OR MADE AVAILABLE) BY ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING.

9.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated by the terms and provisions of Section 7.11, (b) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of holders of Shares to receive the merger consideration set forth in Article I and (c) each Debt Financing Source shall be an express third party beneficiary with respect to Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12, 9.13, 9.14 and this Section 9.9. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Debt Financing Source shall be subject to any special, consequential, punitive or indirect damages or damages of a tortious nature.

9.10 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 hereto. 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.

9.11 Remedies.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) Remedies of Newco and Merger Sub.

(i) Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable injury would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or

-78-

other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages (notwithstanding the termination fees contemplated hereby). Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, in the event of any breach of threatened breach by the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, Newco and Merger Sub shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Company in the courts described in Section 9.13 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, including the Company’s obligation to consummate the Merger. The election to pursue an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit Newco from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate the Agreement and collect the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.4(a) and/or the reimbursement of Newco Expenses pursuant to Section 8.4(d); provided, however, that in no event shall Newco be permitted to pursue an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief or any other remedies under this Agreement or available at law or equity following the payment of the Company Termination Fee.

(ii) Company Termination Fee. Newco shall be entitled to payment of the Company Termination Fee if and when payable pursuant to Section 8.4(a).

(iii) Expense Reimbursement. Newco shall be entitled to reimbursement of Newco Expenses if and when payable pursuant to Section 8.4(d).

(iv) Termination. Newco and Merger Sub shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1.

(v) Monetary Damages. In no event shall (A) Newco, Merger Sub, the Guarantors or the Equity Financing Sources or (B) the former, current and future holders of any equity, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates (other than Newco, Merger Sub or the Guarantors), members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders and assignees of each of Newco, Merger Sub, the Guarantors, the Equity Financing Sources and their respective Affiliates (the foregoing in clauses (A) and (B) collectively, the “Newco Related Parties”) have the right to seek or obtain money damages from the Company or any Company Related Party under this Agreement (whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) other than the right of Newco and Merger Sub to payment of the Company Termination Fee as set forth in Section 8.4(a) and/or Newco Expenses as set forth in Section 8.4(d).

(i) Specific Performance (Pre-Closing Covenants). The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable injury would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages (notwithstanding the termination fees contemplated hereby). Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, in the event of any breach of threatened breach by Newco or Merger Sub of any of

-79-

their respective obligations hereunder, and other than as it relates to the right to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the Merger (which are governed by the provisions of Section 9.11(c)(ii)), the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Newco and Merger Sub in the courts described in Section 9.13 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

(ii) Specific Performance (Closing). The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable injury would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages (notwithstanding the termination fees contemplated hereby). Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that, prior to a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy in connection with enforcing Newco’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded (and to exercise its third party beneficiary rights under the Equity Commitment Letters) and to consummate the Merger only in the event that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (A) the conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b) have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing) at the time the Closing would have occurred but for the failure of the Equity Financing to be funded, (B) the Debt Financing has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or the Debt Financing Sources have confirmed in writing that it will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, (C) Newco and Merger Sub shall have failed to consummate the Merger by the time the Closing was required by Section 2.1 to occur and (D) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Newco that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then it will take such actions that are required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur. In no event shall the Company be entitled to enforce specifically Newco’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded (or exercise its third party beneficiary rights under the Equity Commitment Letters) if the Debt Financing has not been funded (or will not be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing). In no event shall the Company be entitled to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement other than solely under the specific circumstances and as specifically set forth in Section 9.11(c)(i) and this Section 9.11(c)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to a remedy of specific performance or other equitable remedies against any Debt Financing Source. The election to pursue an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit the Company from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate the Agreement and collect the Newco Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.4(b); provided that in no event shall the Company be permitted to pursue an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief or any other remedy under this Agreement or available at law or equity following the payment of the Newco Termination Fee.

(iii) Newco Termination Fee. The Company shall be entitled to payment of the Newco Termination Fee if and when payable pursuant to Section 8.4(b).

-80-

(iv) Termination. The Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1.

(v) Monetary Damages. In no event shall (A) the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates or (B) the former, current and future holders of any equity, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders and assignees of each of the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates (foregoing in clauses (A) and (B) collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) have the right to seek or obtain money damages or expense reimbursement (whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) from Newco, Merger Sub, the Guarantors, the Equity Financing Sources or any other Newco Related Party other than the right of the Company to payment of the Newco Termination Fee as set forth in Section 8.4(b) and to enforce its rights under the Guarantees. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, the Newco Termination Fee (if payable pursuant to Section 8.4(b)) represents the maximum aggregate Liability of Newco, Merger Sub, the Guarantors and any other Newco Related Party under this Agreement and the transactions and other agreements contemplated hereby. In addition, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company hereby (A) agrees that no Company Related Party shall have the right to seek or obtain money damages or expense reimbursement (whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) from any Debt Financing Source and (B) waives any and all claims against the Debt Financing Sources (and agrees not to bring any claim or cause of action) and hereby agrees that in no event shall the Debt Financing Sources have any liability or obligation to the Company or any Company Related Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letters or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.11(c)(v) shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of Newco, Merger Sub or the Financing Sources set forth under the Debt Commitment Letters. In addition to the rights of Newco and Merger Sub hereunder, Newco and Merger Sub shall be entitled, at Newco and Merger Sub’s sole election, to settle any claims arising from or relating to this Agreement by agreeing to consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Acknowledgement Regarding Available Remedies. Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly available under the terms of this Section 9.11, the parties hereto 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 hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly available under the terms of this Section 9.11, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 9.13 without proof of damages or otherwise, and that such explicit rights of specific enforcement are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such rights, none of the Company, Newco or Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction,

-81-

specific performance and other equitable relief expressly applicable under this Section 9.11 on the basis that (i) it has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent 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.

(e) Sole Remedy. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Section 9.11 shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedies for any breaches of this Agreement or any claims relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that such party may have against the other party, the Newco Related Parties or the Company Related Parties, as the case may be, arising under or based upon any Applicable Law (including any securities law, common law or otherwise) for any breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement.

(f) Extension of Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if prior to the Termination Date any party initiates a Legal Proceeding to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then the Termination Date will be automatically extended by (A) the amount of time during which such Legal Proceeding is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days, or (B) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Legal Proceeding.

9.12 Governing Law. 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 conflicts of law principles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any and all claims arising directly or indirectly out of or concerning the Debt Financing (including any claim, controversy or dispute against or involving any Debt Financing Source, including their respective successors and permitted assigns, each of which is hereby intended to be an express third party beneficiary of this Section 9.12) shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicts of laws rules or provisions (whether of the state of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state of New York.

9.13 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Law, and nothing in this Section 9.13 shall affect

-82-

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 action or proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept or does not have jurisdiction over a particular matter, any or state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in the event any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof; (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (d) agrees that any actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept or does not have jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other state or federal court within the State of Delaware); (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or 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 action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of Newco, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the parties hereto, any of their respective Affiliates, any Company Related Party or any Newco

Related Party will bring, or support, any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim, counterclaim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Debt Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, anywhere other than in (i) any New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan or (ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

9.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF NEWCO, COMPANY AND MERGER SUB HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF NEWCO, COMPANY OR MERGER SUB IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FINANCING AND FINANCING COMMITMENT LETTERS).

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

ANNEX A

CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS

For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the following capitalized terms shall have the following respective meanings:
