The term “Surviving Company” as used herein shall mean the Company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent after giving effect to the Merger. The Merger will be effected pursuant to the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the provisions of, and with the effect provided in, Section 251 of the DGCL.

2.1 Effects of the Merger.

(a) At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL and, to the extent applicable, the CCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as provided herein, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.

(b) Parent, the Company and Merger Sub, respectively, shall each use its best efforts to take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the Merger in accordance with the DGCL at the Effective Time. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all properties, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of either the Company or Merger Sub, the officers of the Surviving Company are fully authorized in the name of Parent, the Company and Merger Sub or otherwise to take, and shall take, all such lawful and necessary action.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Article VII and Article VIII hereof, the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated hereby shall take place on or before March 31, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or such other time and place as the Company and Parent mutually agree at the earliest practicable time after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in Article VII, but in no event later than three (3) business days after all such conditions have been satisfied or waived, or on such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto. On the Closing Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, to effect the Merger, the parties hereto will cause the Certificate of Merger to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL. The Merger shall be effective when the filing of the Certificate of Merger is accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”). As used herein, the term “Effective Date” shall mean the date on which the Effective Time occurs.

2.2 Effect on Company Common Stock and Merger Sub Common Stock.

(a) Common Stock. To effectuate the Merger, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the holders of any of the following securities, the following shall occur:

(i) Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled and extinguished pursuant to this Section 2.2 and Dissenting Shares) shall automatically be converted into and exchangeable for 0.5 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock. If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with the Company, then the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock will also be unvested and/or subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition, and the certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock may accordingly be marked with appropriate legends;

(ii) Company Treasury Shares. All shares of Company Common Stock held at the Effective Time by the Company as treasury stock, if any, will be cancelled and extinguished and no payment will be made with respect to those shares;

(iii) Company Common Stock Owned by Merger Sub or Parent. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned by Merger Sub or Parent, if any, will be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and

(iv) Merger Sub Common Stock. All shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Company.

(b) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock occurring or having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu thereof, receive one whole share of Parent Common Stock.

2.3 Rights of Holders of Certificates Evidencing Company Common Stock. On and after the Effective Time and until surrendered for exchange, each outstanding stock certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company

Common Stock (except Dissenting Shares and shares cancelled or extinguished pursuant to Section 2.2) shall be deemed for all purposes, to evidence ownership of and to represent the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Company Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.2 above. The record holder of each such outstanding certificate representing shares of Company Common Stock, shall, after the Effective Time, be entitled to vote the shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Company Common Stock shall have been converted on any matters on which the holders of record of Parent Common Stock, as of any date subsequent to the Effective Time, shall be entitled to vote. In any matters relating to such certificates of Company Common Stock, Parent may rely conclusively upon the record of stockholders maintained by the Company containing the names and addresses of the holders of record of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time.

2.4 Procedure for Exchange of Company Common Stock.

(a) After the Effective Time, holders of certificates theretofore evidencing outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (except Dissenting Shares and shares cancelled or extinguished pursuant to Section 2.2), upon surrender of such certificates to the Secretary of Parent, shall be entitled to receive certificates representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by the certificates so surrendered are exchangeable as provided in Section 2.2 hereof. Parent shall not be obligated to deliver any such shares of Parent Common Stock to which any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock is entitled until such holder surrenders the certificate or certificates representing such shares. Upon surrender, each certificate evidencing Company Common Stock shall be cancelled. If there is a transfer of Company Common Stock ownership which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a person other than the person in whose name the certificate so surrendered is registered if: (x) upon presentation to the Secretary of Parent, such certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, (y) the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock to a person other than the registered holder of such certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable, and (z) the issuance of such Parent Common Stock shall not, in the sole discretion of Parent, violate the requirements of the Regulation D “safe harbor” of the Securities Act with respect to the private placement of Parent Common Stock that will result from the Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent shall deliver to any investor affiliated with Fidelity Management & Research Company (collectively, “Fidelity”) certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock to which Fidelity is entitled prior to surrender by Fidelity of the certificates representing the shares of Company Common Stock held by Fidelity.

(b) All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company Common Stock, in accordance with the above terms and conditions shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock.

(c) Any shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger will not be transferable except (1) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) upon receipt by Parent of a written opinion of counsel for the holder reasonably

satisfactory to Parent to the effect that the proposed transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Restrictive legends shall be placed on all certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock, issued in the Merger, substantially as follows:

NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS IN EFFECT THEREUNDER AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS (SUCH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS, THE “SECURITIES LAWS”) OR (B) IF THE CORPORATION HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, WHICH OPINION AND COUNSEL SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSFER, SALE,ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES LAWS.

(d) In the event any certificate for Company Common Stock or any certificate or similar instrument evidencing any other security of the Company shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, promptly following its receipt of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Parent Common Stock, as may be required pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, may require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or any other party with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.5 Dissenting Shares. Shares of Company Common Stock held by stockholders of the Company who have properly exercised and preserved appraisal rights with respect to those shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL or dissenter rights for such shares in accordance with Chapter 13 of the CCC (any such shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock, pursuant to Section 2.2 above, but the holders thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CCC. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for such shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CCC shall receive payment therefor from the Surviving Company in accordance with such laws; provided, however, that if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal or dissenter rights under applicable law, such holder shall forfeit such appraisal or dissenter rights, as applicable, and each such share shall thereupon be deemed to have been cancelled, extinguished and exchanged, as of the Effective Time, into and represent the right to receive from Parent shares of Parent Common Stock, as provided in Section 2.2 above. Any payments in respect of Dissenting Shares will be deemed made by the Surviving Company.

2.6 Certificates of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) The certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation.

(b) The bylaws of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such bylaws.

From and after the Effective Time, the directors and officers of the Surviving Company shall be the persons who were directors and officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, respectively.

6.3 Due Diligence; Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Company and Parent shall afford to the other party and their authorized representatives the opportunity to conduct and complete a due diligence investigation of the other party as described herein. In light of the foregoing, each party shall permit the other party full access on reasonable notice and at reasonable hours to its properties and shall disclose and make available (together with the right to copy) to the other party and its officers, employees, attorneys, accountants and other

representatives (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Representatives”), all books, papers, and records relating to the assets, stock, properties, operations, obligations and liabilities of such party and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, all books of account (including, without limitation, the general ledger), Tax records, minute books of directors’ and stockholders’ meetings, organizational documents, bylaws, contracts and agreements, filings with any regulatory authority, accountants’ work papers, litigation files (including, without limitation, legal research memoranda), attorney’s audit response letters, documents relating to assets and title thereto (including, without limitation, abstracts, title insurance policies, surveys, environmental reports, opinions of title and other information relating to the real and personal property), plans affecting employees, securities transfer records and stockholder lists, and any books, papers and records (collectively referred to herein as “Evaluation Material”) relating to other assets or business activities in which such party may have a reasonable interest, and otherwise provide such assistance as is reasonably requested in order that each party may have a full opportunity to make such investigation and evaluation as it shall reasonably desire to make of the business and affairs of the other party; provided, however, that the foregoing rights granted to each party shall, whether or not and regardless of the extent to which the same are exercised, in no way affect the nature or scope of the representations, warranties and covenants of the respective party set forth herein. In addition, each party and its Representatives shall cooperate fully (including providing introductions, where necessary) with such other party to enable the party to contact third parties, including customers, prospective customers, specified agencies or others as the party deems reasonably necessary to complete its due diligence; provided that such party agrees not to initiate such contacts without the prior approval of the other party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) The Company and Parent agree that each such party will not use the Evaluation Material for any purpose other than in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereunder. Each agrees not to disclose or allow disclosure to others of any Evaluation Material, except to such party’s Affiliates or Representatives, in each case, to the extent necessary to permit such Affiliate or Representative to assist such party in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereunder. Each agrees that it will, within ten (10) days of the other party’s request, re-deliver to such party all copies of that party’s Evaluation Material in its possession or that of its Affiliates or Representatives if the Merger does not close as contemplated herein.

(c) In the event any party or anyone to whom Evaluation Material has been transmitted in accordance with the terms herein is requested in connection with any proceeding to disclose any Evaluation Material, or a party has determined that it is required under applicable law or regulation to disclose Evaluation Material, such party will, to the extent permitted and practicable under the circumstances, give the other party prompt notice of such request or determination so that the other party may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Agreement, and such party will cooperate with the other party to obtain such protective order. In the event such protective order is not obtained, or the other party waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.3, such party (or such person to whom such request is directed) will furnish only that portion of the Evaluation Material which is required to be disclosed. The parties acknowledge that, upon execution and delivery, this Agreement (but not the exhibits and schedules thereto) will be filed by Parent with the SEC under cover of Form 8-K.

reason, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, neither Parent nor the Company nor any of their Representatives shall disclose to third parties or otherwise use any Evaluation Material or other confidential information received from the other party in the course of investigating, negotiating, and performing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing shall be deemed to be confidential information which:

(e) Parent and the Company each agree that money damages would not be sufficient to remedy any breach by the other party of this Section 6.3, and that, in addition to all other remedies, each party against which a breach of this Section 6.3 has been committed shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of such breach.

It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger, taken together with the subsequent merger of the Company with and into Parent (the Merger and such subsequent merger together, the “Mergers”), shall constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Each of the parties hereto adopts this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall report the Mergers as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and file all Returns accordingly, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of and described in Section 1313(a) of the Code.

6.5 Press Releases. The Company and Parent shall agree with each other as to the form and substance of any press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit either party, following notification to the other party, from making any disclosure which is required by law or regulation.

6.8 Company Stockholders’ Written Consent; Materials to Stockholders.

(b) The Company shall as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement prepare and mail to Company stockholders all information, if any, as may be required to comply with the DGCL, the CCC, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Parent will promptly advise the Company if it receives a proposal or inquiry with respect to the matters described above.

(b) Unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, neither the Company nor its officers, directors or agents shall, directly or

indirectly, encourage, solicit or initiate discussions or negotiations with, or engage in negotiations or discussions with, or provide non-public information to, any Person or group of Persons concerning any merger, sale of common stock (other than the Private Placement), sale of substantial assets or other business combination; provided, however, that the Company may engage in such discussion in response to any unsolicited proposal from an unrelated party if the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in good faith, after consultation with counsel, that the failure to engage in such discussions and provide such non-public information (subject to obtaining confidentiality agreements) may constitute a breach of the fiduciary or legal obligations of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company will promptly advise Parent if it receives a proposal or inquiry with respect to the matters described above.

6.11 Notification of Certain Matters. At or prior to the Effective Time, each party shall give prompt notice to the other party of (i) the occurrence or failure to occur of any event or the discovery of any information, which occurrence, failure or discovery would be likely to cause any representation or warranty on its part contained in this Agreement to be untrue, inaccurate or incomplete after the date hereof in any material respect or, in the case of any representation or warranty given as of a specific date, would be likely to cause any such representation or warranty on its part contained in this Agreement to be untrue, inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect as of such specific date, and (ii) any material failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder.

6.12 Pre-Merger Indemnity Agreement.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement and to preserve each party’s anticipated benefits under this Agreement.

9.5 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing approved by the parties to this Agreement and signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

9.6 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Date, any party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto or (b) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party or with any conditions to its own obligations, in each case only to the extent such obligations, agreements and conditions are intended for its benefit. Any such extension or waiver shall only be effective if made in writing and duly executed by the party giving such extension or waiver.

9.7 Miscellaneous. This Agreement (together with all other documents and instruments referred to herein): (a) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof; and (b) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, but shall not be assignable by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.

9.10 Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to such State’s principles of conflicts of laws that would defer to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction.

9.11 Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement must, to the extent such courts will accept such jurisdiction, be brought against any of the parties in the courts of the State of Delaware, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of those courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any such action or proceeding may be served by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Section 9.11, however, affects the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner

permitted by law.

9.12 Disclosure in Schedules. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any matter that is clearly disclosed on any Schedule hereto with respect to any Section hereof in such a way as to make its relevance to the information called for by another Section hereof or any other Schedule, as the case may be, reasonably apparent, such matter shall be deemed to have been disclosed in response to such other Section or Schedule, notwithstanding the omission of any appropriate cross-reference thereto; provided, however, that each of Parent and the Company hereby covenants to make a good faith diligent effort to make all appropriate cross-references within and to any and all Sections of this Agreement and Schedules hereto.
