AGREEMENT

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL and the CGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, with the Company surviving the Merger and continuing under the name “Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.” (the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”), such that following the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Parent.

The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date”.

with the Merger and (b) an agreement of merger (the “CA Merger Agreement”) and officer’s certificates to be duly executed and filed with the CSOS as provided under the CGCL and make any other filings, recordings or publications required to be made by the Company or Merger Sub under the CGCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective following the close of business on the Closing Date, with such date and time specified in the CA Merger Agreement and the Certificate of Merger, or on such other date and time as shall be agreed to by Parent and the Company and specified in the CA Merger Agreement and the Certificate of Merger (the date and time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

ARTICLE II

TREATMENT OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Treatment of Capital Stock.

(a) Treatment of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or holders of any securities of the Company or of Merger Sub, subject to Section 2.1(d) and any applicable withholding Tax, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and other than any Dissenting Shares and Company Employee Restricted Share Awards) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the following consideration (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”), without interest: (i) $30.00 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 0.897 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Parent Shares, including any associated rights that may be issued pursuant to the Parent Rights Agreement (as defined below) (if then in effect) (the “Stock Consideration”). From and after the Effective Time, all such Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each applicable holder of such Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Company Shares in accordance with Section 2.2, including the right to receive, pursuant to Section 2.6, cash in lieu of fractional Parent Shares, if any, into which such Company Shares

have been converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) (the “Fractional Share Consideration”), together with the amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.2(f).

(b) Cancellation of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, all Company Shares owned by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or by any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Treatment of Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, $0.01 par value, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock or Parent Shares, as applicable), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the number of shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Shares outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.2 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the exchange agent in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). The Exchange Agent shall also act as the agent for the Company’s shareholders for the purpose of receiving and holding their Certificates and Book-Entry Shares and shall obtain no rights or interests in the shares represented thereby. At or immediately after the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (i) evidence of Parent Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a) in book-entry form equal to the aggregate Parent Shares portion of the Merger Consideration (excluding any Fractional Share Consideration), and (ii) cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration, Fractional Share Consideration and any dividends under Section 2.2(f) (such evidence of book-entry Parent Shares and cash amounts, together with any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto, the “Exchange Fund”), in each case, for the sole benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock. In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration, Fractional Share Consideration and any dividends under Section 2.2(f), Parent shall, or shall cause Merger Sub to, promptly deposit additional funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to make, and the Exchange Agent shall make, delivery of the Merger Consideration, including payment of the Fractional Share Consideration, and any amounts payable in respect of dividends or other distributions on Parent Shares in accordance with Section 2.2(f) out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however,

that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated P-1 or A-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation on the earlier of (A) one (1) year after the Effective Time or (B) the full payment of the Exchange Fund.

(b) Procedures for Surrender. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the Exchange Agent to mail (and make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares (the “Certificates”) or non-certificated Company Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) and whose Company Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration into which such Company Shares have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1, including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6, and any dividends or other distributions on Parent Shares in accordance with Section 2.2(f). Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, together with such letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, any Fractional Share Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6, and any amounts that such holder has the right to receive in respect of dividends or other distributions on Parent Shares in accordance with Section 2.2(f) for each Company Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, to be mailed (or made available for collection by hand if so elected by the surrendering holder) within five (5) business days following the later to occur of (x) the Effective Time or (y) the Exchange Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment

shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Company that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6, and any dividends or other distributions on Parent Shares in accordance with Section 2.2(f), without interest thereon.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Exchange Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Exchange Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration, including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6, and any dividends or other distributions on Parent Shares in accordance with Section 2.2(f), payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration or other amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange 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 payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6, and any dividends or other distributions on Parent Shares in accordance with Section 2.2(f).

(f) Dividends or Distributions with Respect to Parent Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Shares with a record date after the Effective Time

shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to the Parent Shares issuable hereunder, and all such dividends and other distributions shall be paid by Parent to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Share (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Parent Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such Parent Shares.

Section 2.3 Dissenter’s Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder of record who did not vote in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement (or consent thereto in writing) and is entitled to demand and properly demands purchase of such Company Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) for fair market value pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Chapter 13 of the CGCL (the “Dissenting Rights”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1, but instead at the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive payment of the fair market value of such Company Shares in accordance with the Dissenting Rights (it being understood and acknowledged that at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the fair market value of such Dissenting Shares to the extent afforded by the Dissenting Rights); provided, however, that if any such holder (including any holder of Proposed Dissenting Shares) shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to payment of the fair market value of such Dissenting Shares under the Dissenting Rights, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair market value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, without interest or duplication, the Merger Consideration. “Proposed Dissenting Shares” means shares of Company Common Stock whose holders provide demands for fair market value to the Company prior to the Company Special Meeting and do not vote in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the Dissenting Rights.

(b) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for fair market value of any Company Shares, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments served pursuant to the CGCL and received by the Company relating to Dissenting Rights, and Parent shall have the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.4 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Company Stock Options.

(i) As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under any Company Equity Plan (each a “Company Stock Option”) to a Company non-employee director (a “Company Director Stock Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each Net Company Share; provided, however, that any holder who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Share shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, without interest, in an amount equal to such fractional part of a Parent Share multiplied by the VWAP of Parent Shares.

(ii) As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Company Stock Option other than any Company Director Stock Option (a “Company Employee Stock Option”) that is vested, outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each Net Company Share; provided, however, that any holder who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Share shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, without interest, in an amount equal to such fractional part of a Parent Share multiplied by the VWAP of Parent Shares.

(iii) As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Company Employee Stock Option that is unvested, outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into an option (a “Parent Share Option”) to acquire (A) that number of whole Parent Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Employee Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (2) the Exchange Ratio, (B) at an exercise price per Parent Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Employee Stock Option by (2) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that each such Company Stock Option (I) which is an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be adjusted in accordance with the foregoing in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code and (II) shall be adjusted in a manner which complies with Section 409A of the Code and that causes the resulting Parent Share Option not to constitute the grant of a new option or a change in the form of payment of an option, as provided under Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4(a)(iii), each such Parent Share Option assumed and converted pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)(iii) shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Company Employee Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Company Restricted Share Awards.

(i) As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each outstanding award of restricted shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Restricted Share Award”) granted under any Company Equity Plan to a Company non-employee director (a “Company Director Restricted Share Award”) shall fully vest and become nonforfeitable, and shall be treated like Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof.

(ii) Subject to Section 2.4(d), as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each outstanding Company Restricted Share Award other than a Company Director Restricted Share Award (each such award, a “Company Employee Restricted Share Award”) shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into an award of restricted stock corresponding to Parent Shares (each, a “Parent Restricted Share Award”) with respect to a number of Parent Shares (rounded up or down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the applicable number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Employee Restricted Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4(b)(ii), each Parent Restricted Share Award assumed and converted pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii) shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Company Employee Restricted Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Company RSU Awards. Subject to Section 2.4(d), as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each outstanding award of restricted stock units that corresponds to a number of shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company RSU Award”) under any Company Equity Plan that is not then vested shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into a restricted stock unit award corresponding to Parent Shares (each, a “Parent RSU Award”) with respect to a number of Parent Shares (rounded up or down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the applicable number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4(c), each Parent RSU Award assumed and converted pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Performance-Vesting Company Equity Awards. Notwithstanding Section 2.4(b)(ii) and Section 2.4(c), as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Share Award and Company RSU Award that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions and is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Restricted Share Award or Company RSU Award, as applicable.

(e) Company ESPP. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall take all actions with respect to the Company ESPP that are necessary to provide that: (i) with respect to the offering period in effect as of the date hereof (the “Current Offering Period”) and the immediately succeeding offering period in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice (the “Succeeding Offering Period” and together with the Current Offering Period, the “ESPP Offering Periods”), no participant may increase the percentage amount of his or her payroll deduction election from that in effect on the date hereof for such ESPP Offering Period; (ii) subject to the consummation of the Merger, the Company ESPP shall terminate, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time; (iii) immediately prior to the Effective Time, any then-outstanding rights under the Company ESPP shall terminate and the Company shall distribute to each Company ESPP participant all of his or her accumulated payroll deductions with respect to the ESPP Offering Period then in effect; (iv) following the purchase of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Succeeding Offering Period, the Company ESPP shall be suspended and no new offering period shall be commenced under the Company ESPP prior to the Effective Time; and (v) the Company shall cause any shares of Company Common Stock purchased during an ESPP Offering Period to be shares reacquired by the Company in the open market (rather than unissued shares).

Section 2.5 Withholding. The Company, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from the consideration otherwise payable to a holder of Company Common Stock or a

holder of a Company Equity Award pursuant to this Agreement, any amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted with respect to such consideration under the Code, or any applicable provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock or a holder of a Company Equity Award in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.6 Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional Parent Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Share shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, without interest, in an amount equal to such fractional part of a Parent Share multiplied by the VWAP of Parent Shares.

exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.1, in confidence to the extent required by and in accordance with, and will otherwise comply with, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, (i) of any notice or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or other Transactions, or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such Party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, (ii) of any legal proceeding commenced or, to any Party’s knowledge, threatened against, such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates or otherwise relating to, involving or affecting such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, in each case in connection with, arising from or otherwise relating to the Merger or any other Transaction, (iii) in the case of Parent, of any notice or other communication received by Parent from any Person requisitioning the convening of a meeting of the holders of Parent Shares and (iv) upon becoming aware of the occurrence or impending occurrence of any event or circumstance relating to it or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the Parent Subsidiaries, respectively, which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be, or which would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impede the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to any Party. The failure to deliver any such notice shall not affect any of the conditions set forth in Article VII or give rise to any right to terminate under Article VIII.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Party agrees to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) business days after the execution of this Agreement (unless a later date is mutually agreed between the Parties), and to supply as promptly as practicable and advisable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to take all other actions necessary to

cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company shall, in connection with the efforts referenced in Section 6.2(a) to obtain all waiting period expirations or terminations, consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits, and authorizations for the Transactions under the HSR Act, (i) cooperate in all respects and consult with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, including by allowing the other Party to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings and submissions; (ii) promptly inform the other Party of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) or any other Governmental Entity, by promptly providing copies to the other Party of any such written communications, and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of Parent, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (C) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns; and (iii) permit the other Party to review in advance any communication that it gives to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting, substantive telephone call or conference with, the DOJ, the FTC or any other Governmental Entity, or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person (provided, however, that materials may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of Parent, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (C) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns), and to the extent permitted by the DOJ, the FTC or any other applicable Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in any in-person meetings with the DOJ, the FTC or any other Governmental Entity or other Person. In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the Parties contained in Section 6.2(a) and this Section 6.2(b), each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve objections, if any, as may be asserted with respect to the Transactions under any Antitrust Law including agreeing to any terms, conditions or modifications (including Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries having to cease operating, license, sell or otherwise dispose of any assets or businesses (including the requirement that any such assets or businesses be held separate)) with respect to obtaining the expiration or termination of any waiting period or any consents, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders in connection with the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to take such actions under this Section 6.2(b) that would result in, or would be reasonably likely to result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Merger. Nothing in this Section 6.2(b) shall require Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries to take or agree to take any action with respect to its business or operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing. Parent shall, on behalf of the Parties, control and lead all communications and strategy relating to the Antitrust Laws (provided that the Company is not constrained from complying with applicable Law), provided, further, that the Parties shall consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, regarding the form and content of any analyses,

appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of either Party in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law prior to their submission.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the expiration or termination of all waiting periods and all consents, waivers, authorizations and approvals of all third parties, including Governmental Entities, necessary, proper or advisable for the consummation of the Transactions and to provide any notices to third parties required to be provided prior to the Effective Time; provided that, without the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not incur any significant expense or liability, enter into any significant new commitment or agreement or agree to any significant modification to any contractual arrangement to obtain such consents or certificates in each case, that would have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.3 Publicity. So long as this Agreement is in effect, neither the Company nor Parent, nor any of their respective affiliates, shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to the Merger or this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Party, unless such Party determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is required by applicable Law or by any listing agreement with or the listing rules of a national securities exchange or trading market to issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to the Merger or this Agreement, in which event such Party shall endeavor, on a basis reasonable under the circumstances, to provide a meaningful opportunity to the other Party to review and comment upon such press release or other announcement in advance and shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required by this Section 6.3 to provide any such review or comment to Parent in connection with the receipt and existence of a Company Competing Proposal or a Company Change of Recommendation and matters related thereto; provided, further, that Parent shall not be required by this Section 6.3 to provide any such review or comment to the Company in connection with the receipt and existence of a Parent Competing Proposal or a Parent Change of Recommendation and matters related thereto; provided, further, each Party and their respective affiliates may make statements that are not inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Parent or the Company in compliance with this Section 6.3.

Section 6.4 Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance and Indemnification. For not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent agrees to, and to cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless all past and present directors, officers and employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any actual or threatened claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Law; provided such Indemnified Party agrees in advance to return any such funds to which a court of competent jurisdiction has determined in a final, nonappealable judgment such Indemnified Party is not ultimately entitled), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, investigation, suit or proceeding in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the

Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in connection with such persons serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or of any Person if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, to the fullest extent permitted by Law or provided pursuant to the Company Governing Documents or the organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary or any indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement. The Parties agree that all rights to elimination of liability, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, now existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in their respective certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) or in any agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. For six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained in effect the provisions in (i) the Company Governing Documents and the organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary and (ii) any other agreements of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with any Indemnified Party, in each case, regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are in existence on the date of this Agreement, and no such provision shall be amended, modified or repealed in any manner that would adversely affect the rights or protections thereunder of any such Indemnified Party in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Company’s current directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is no less favorable than the Company’s existing policy or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Company may prior to the Effective Time substitute therefor a single premium tail coverage with respect to D&O Insurance with an annual cost not in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Party notifies Parent on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time of a matter in respect of which such Person may seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.4, the provisions of this Section 6.4 shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto. In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.4. The rights and obligations under this Section 6.4 shall survive consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or amended in

a manner that is adverse to any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party.

Section 6.5 Takeover Statutes. The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to the Merger or any of the other Transactions and (b) if any such Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the foregoing, to take all action necessary so that the Merger and the other Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such Takeover Statute on the Merger and the other Transactions.

Section 6.6 Obligations of Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, including the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Effective as of the Effective Time and for a period of no less than one (1) year thereafter, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Company to provide, to each employee of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries who continues to be employed by the Parent or the Surviving Company or any Subsidiary thereof (the “Continuing Employees”), (x) compensation (including cash incentive compensation opportunities, but excluding any equity-based compensation) that is no less favorable than the compensation provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (y) equity-based compensation that is no less favorable than the equity-based compensation provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and (z) employee benefits that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than those provided to the Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, effective as of the Effective Time and for a period of no less than one (1) year thereafter, each Continuing Employee shall be eligible to participate in any applicable severance plans, programs and/or arrangements maintained by Parent and in accordance with the terms set forth on Section 6.7(a) the Company Disclosure Letter. Effective as of the Effective Time and thereafter, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Company to provide, that periods of employment with the Company (including any current or former affiliate of the Company or any predecessor of the Company) shall be taken into account for all purposes under all employee benefit plans maintained by Parent or an affiliate of Parent for the benefit of the Continuing Employees, including vacation or other paid-time-off plans or arrangements, 401(k), pension or other retirement plans and any severance or health or welfare plans (other than for purposes of determining any accrued benefit under any defined benefit pension plan or as would result in a duplication of benefits).

(b) Effective as of the Effective Time and thereafter, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, (i) ensure that no eligibility waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements or pre-existing condition limitations or exclusions shall apply with respect to the Continuing Employees under the applicable health and welfare benefits plan of Parent or any affiliate of Parent (except to the extent applicable under Company Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time), (ii) waive any and all evidence of insurability requirements with respect to such Continuing Employees to the extent such evidence of insurability requirements were not applicable to the Continuing Employees under the Company Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) credit each Continuing Employee with all deductible payments, out-of-pocket or other co-payments paid by such employee under the Company Benefit Plans prior to the Closing Date during the year in which the Closing occurs for the purpose of determining the extent to which any such employee has satisfied his or her deductible and whether he or she has reached the out-of-pocket maximum under any health benefit plan of Parent or an affiliate of Parent for such year. The Merger shall not affect any Continuing Employee’s accrual of, or right to use, in accordance with Company policy as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, any personal, sick, vacation or other paid-time-off accrued but unused by such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent, the Surviving Company or any affiliate of Parent, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent, the Surviving Company or any affiliate of Parent, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Continuing Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between Parent, the Surviving Company, the Company or any affiliate of Parent and the Continuing Employee or any severance, benefit or other applicable plan or program covering such Continuing Employee. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.7 shall (i) be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or employee benefit plan of Merger Sub, or (ii) create any third party rights in any current or former service provider of the Company or its affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

Section 6.8 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall, as applicable, take all such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable hereto to cause any dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) and acquisitions of Parent equity securities pursuant to the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.9 Security Holder Litigation. Each Party shall provide the other Party prompt oral notice of any litigation brought by any shareholder of that Party against such Party, any of its Subsidiaries and/or any of their respective directors relating to the Merger, this Agreement or any of the Transactions. Unless (i) in the case of such litigation with respect to the Company, the Company Board of Directors has made or is considering making a Company Change of Recommendation or (ii) in the case of such litigation with respect to Parent, the Parent Board of Directors has made or is considering making a Parent Change of Recommendation,

each Party shall give the other Party the opportunity to participate (at such other Party’s expense) in the defense or settlement of any such litigation, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that the other Party shall not be obligated to consent to any settlement which does not include a full release of such other Party and its affiliates or which imposes an injunction or other equitable relief after the Effective Time upon Parent or any of its affiliates. In the event of, and to the extent of, any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 6.9 and Section 5.1, Section 5.2 or Section 6.2, the provisions of this Section 6.9 shall control.

The Company agrees to, and to cause its Subsidiaries to, provide such assistance (and to use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective officers, employees, consultants and advisors, including legal and accounting advisors, to provide such assistance) with the Financing as is reasonably requested by Parent, including: (a) participation in, and assistance with, the marketing efforts related to the Financing, including assisting Parent with Parent’s preparation of customary confidential information memoranda, private placement memoranda, prospectuses, offering memoranda and the other customary marketing materials and information reasonably deemed necessary by the Financing Sources to complete a successful syndication for delivery to potential syndicate members and participants, including estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking financial information regarding the future performance of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; (b) participation by senior management, representatives and advisors of the Company in, and assistance with, the preparation of rating agency presentations and meetings with rating agencies, roadshows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and meetings with prospective lenders and debt investors (including, for the avoidance of doubt, direct contact with such rating agencies and prospective lenders and debt investors); (c) delivery to Parent and its Financing Sources as promptly as reasonably practicable of the Financing Deliverables (at least four (4) business days prior to the Closing Date, to the extent requested in writing at least nine (9) days prior to the Closing Date), the Financing Information relating to the Company and such other financial information relating to the Company customary or reasonably necessary for the completion of the Financing to the extent reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the preparation of customary offering or information documents to be used for the Financing (which Financing Information, for the avoidance of doubt, may be included in any such offering or information documents used for or distributed in connection with the Financing); (d) use reasonable best efforts to cause its independent auditors to cooperate with the Financing consistent with their

customary practice, including by providing customary “comfort letters” (including customary “negative assurances”) and customary assistance with the due diligence activities of Parent and the Financing Sources, and customary consents to the inclusion of audit reports in any relevant marketing materials, registration statements and related government filings; (e) using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Financing (including the syndication and marketing thereof) benefits from the existing lending and investment banking relationships of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries; (f) assisting Parent with Parent’s preparation of pro forma financial information and pro forma financial statements and other materials for rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda, financial projections and similar documents used in connection with the Financing and providing customary estimates and other forward-looking financial information regarding the future performance of the business of the Company to the extent reasonably requested by the Financing Sources, and providing customary authorization and representation letters in connection therewith, and (g) executing and delivering definitive financing documents, including pledge and security documents, and certificates, management representation letters and other documents, to the extent reasonably requested by Parent, and otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral. The Company hereby consents to the use of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing, provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein or in any other agreement between the Company and Parent (or its affiliates), the Company agrees that Parent and its affiliates may share customary projections with respect to the Company and its business with the Financing Sources identified in the Debt Commitment Letter, and that Parent, its affiliates and such Financing Sources may share such information with potential Financing Sources in connection with any marketing efforts in connection with the Financing, provided that the recipients of such information agree to customary confidentiality arrangements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective directors or officers or other personnel shall be required by this Section 6.13 (i) to take any action or provide any assistance to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (ii) to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Financing or the Debt Financing Documents; or (iii) to execute or deliver any certificate, document, instrument or agreement that is effective prior to the Closing or agree to any change or modification of any existing certificate, document, instrument or agreement that would be effective prior to the Closing. Parent shall (1) promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the assistance contemplated by this Section 6.13 and (2) indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, personnel and advisors from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the Financing or any assistance or activities in connection therewith, in each case other than to the extent any of the foregoing arises from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of this Agreement by any such Person.

Section 6.14 Parent’s Financing Cooperation. Parent shall cause MIFSA to take, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken, all actions and do, or use its reasonable best

efforts to cause to be done, all things necessary to obtain the Financing on or prior to the Closing Date on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, including: (a) maintaining in effect and enforcing the Debt Commitment Letter and complying with its obligations thereunder; (b) participation by senior management of MIFSA in, and assistance with, the preparation of rating agency presentations and meetings with rating agencies; (c) satisfying (or, if deemed advisable by MIFSA, obtaining the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions to the Financing (including the Financing Conditions) that are within Parent’s control; (d) negotiating, executing and delivering Debt Financing Documents that reflect the terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Fee Letter (including any “flex” provisions related thereto); and (e) drawing a sufficient amount of the Financing to enable Parent to consummate the Transactions, in the event that the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 and the Financing Conditions have been satisfied or, upon funding would be satisfied. Parent shall cause MIFSA to give the Company prompt notice of any breach or threatened breach by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter of which MIFSA becomes aware which would affect the availability of the Financing on the Closing Date. Without limiting Parent’s other obligations under this Section 6.14, if a Financing Failure Event occurs Parent shall cause MIFSA to (i) immediately notify the Company of such Financing Failure Event and the reasons therefor, (ii) in consultation with the Company, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing from alternative Financing Sources on terms (including conditionality, structure, covenants and pricing) not materially less beneficial in the aggregate to the Company and Parent, with lenders reasonably satisfactory to MIFSA, in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, and (iii) to the extent MIFSA obtains a new financing commitment in respect of such alternative financing, provide a copy of such new commitment to the Company. Parent shall cause MIFSA to not, without the Company’s prior written consent, agree to any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or voluntarily replace (it being understood that any alternative financing obtained pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be deemed a voluntary replacement for purposes of this sentence) the Debt Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification or waiver or voluntary replacement (i) would reasonably be expected to (x) materially adversely affect the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to timely consummate the Transactions or (y) make the timely funding of the Financing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing materially less likely to occur, (ii) changes the conditions to obtaining the Financing, unless such amendment, modification or waiver results in conditions that are in the aggregate substantially equivalent (or that are more favorable to the Company and Parent), (iii) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing or (iv) materially adversely affects the ability of MIFSA or its affiliates to enforce their rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Fee Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent or Merger Sub may cause MIFSA to replace or amend the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Fee Letter and any other Debt Financing Documents (I) to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof, (II) to implement or exercise any “flex” provisions provided in the Debt Fee Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement or (III) to the extent such action would not be prohibited by the preceding sentence. Parent shall cause MIFSA keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to obtain the Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.14, Parent shall not be

required to take any action that could constitute financial assistance in violation of Law, as determined by Parent in its reasonable discretion.

Parent shall have the right to substitute the proceeds of consummated offerings or other incurrences of debt (including unsecured notes) for all or any portion of the Financing by reducing commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter; provided, that to the extent any such debt has a scheduled special or mandatory redemption right, such right is not exercisable prior to the earlier of the consummation of the Transactions on the Closing Date, the termination of this Agreement or the Outside Date (for the avoidance of doubt as it may be extended pursuant to this Agreement). Further, Parent shall have the right to substitute commitments in respect of other debt financing for all or any portion of the Financing from the same and/or alternative bona fide third-party financing sources (“Replacement Financing Sources”) so long as (i) all conditions precedent to effectiveness of definitive documentation for such debt financing have been satisfied and the conditions precedent to funding of such debt financing are in the aggregate, in respect of certainty of funding, substantially equivalent to (or more favorable to the Company than) the Financing Conditions, and (ii) prior to funding of any loans thereunder, the commitments in respect of such debt financing are subject to restrictions on assignment which are in the aggregate substantially equivalent to or more favorable to the Company than the corresponding restrictions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (any such debt or equity financing which satisfies the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the “Replacement Financing”; the definitive documentation for any such Replacement Financing, the “Replacement Financing Documents”). The representations, warranties, covenants and other restrictions of Parent and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement with respect to the Financing and the Debt Commitment Letter shall apply equally to any Replacement Financing and Replacement Financing Documents.

Section 6.15 Parent Board and Committee Representation.

(a) Parent shall take such actions as are necessary to cause ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to become members of the Parent Board of Directors immediately after the Effective Time. The new members appointed to the Parent Board of Directors in accordance with this Section 6.15 shall be ratified by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Parent Board of Directors pursuant to the director nomination process set forth in Parent’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on January 24, 2014, to serve on the Parent Board of Directors, initially, until the next annual general meeting of Parent’s shareholders in accordance with the Parent Governing Documents, and who shall also be nominated by the Parent Board of Directors for election (or re-election) to the Parent Board of Directors at the next annual general meeting of Parent’s shareholders in accordance with the Parent Governing Documents, to serve until the next subsequent annual general meeting of the Parent’s shareholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify. If any of ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ refuse, or are unable, to serve on the Parent Board of Directors, a mutually agreeable replacement will be selected by the Company and Parent and ratified by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Parent Board of Directors in accordance with the director nomination process discussed in the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) The Parent Board of Directors shall take such actions as are necessary to create as of immediately after the Effective Time a new committee of the Parent Board of Directors, which shall be composed of three members: the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (who shall be the chair of such committee), the Chief Executive Officer of Parent as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and the Chair of the Parent Board of Directors as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent be obligated to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(d) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the Transactions and that (i) each of the Company Termination Fee and the fee payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i) is not a penalty, but rather is a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee or the fee payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i) is payable 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, and (ii) each of the Parent Termination Fee and the fee payable pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(i) is not a penalty, but rather is a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company in the circumstances in which the Parent Termination Fee or the fee payable pursuant to Section 8.2(c)(i) is payable 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, each of which amounts would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud or Willful Breach, (A) upon payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.2, none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, affiliates or agents shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions and (B) upon payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.2, none of the Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, affiliates or agents shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement (including Section 8.2(a) and this Section 8.2(d)) shall in any way limit the provisions of Section 9.14.

(ii) the determination of the accuracy of any Acquisition Agreement Target Representations (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof Parent, Merger Sub or their respective affiliates have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, or to decline to consummate the Transactions pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) the determination of whether the Transactions have been consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in each case, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted solely in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the Law of any other state.

(b) (1) Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and appellate courts thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and appellate courts thereof, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and appellate courts thereof, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such courts and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such courts. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 9.11(b)(1) in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.4. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. (2) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company (on behalf of itself and each Company Related Party) and each of the other Parties hereto (A) agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing or the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, in any forum other than exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the County of New York (and appellate courts thereof), (B) submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (C) agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at its address provided in Section 9.4 shall be effective service of process against it for any such action brought in any such court, (D) waives and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it

may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action in any such court and (E) agrees that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Section 9.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE MERGER, THE FINANCING AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (INCLUDING ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

Section 9.13 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except that Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to (i) Parent, (ii) Parent and one or more direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries of Parent, or (iii) one or more direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries of Parent; provided, that no such assignment shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the other Parties if such assignment could delay the Closing, increase the risk that any of the conditions set forth in Article VII may not be timely satisfied, result in a breach of any of covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or adversely affect the Company; provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of any obligation or liability under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, but without relieving any Party of any obligation hereunder, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.14 Enforcement; Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly 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) The Parties agree that irreparable injury will occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. It is agreed that prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or remedy any

breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by any other Party, to a decree or order of specific performance specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to any further equitable relief.

(c) The Parties’ rights in this Section 9.14 are an integral part of the Transactions and each Party hereby waives any objections to any remedy referred to in this Section 9.14 (including any objection on the basis that there is an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of such remedy is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity). For the avoidance of doubt, each Party agrees that there is not an adequate remedy at Law for a breach of this Agreement by any Party. In the event any Party seeks any remedy referred to in this Section 9.14, such Party shall not be required to obtain, furnish, post or provide any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such remedy.

Section 9.15 Liability of Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company (on behalf of itself and each Company Related Party (other than Parent and Merger Sub)) agrees that neither it nor any other Company Related Party (other than Parent and Merger Sub) shall have any rights or claims against any Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that, following consummation of the Merger, the foregoing will not limit the rights of the parties to the Financing under the Debt Financing Documents. In addition, in no event will any Financing Source be liable for consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or indirect damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) or damages of a tortious nature.
