AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 11, 2011, by and among Broadcom Corporation, a California corporation (“Parent”), I&N Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and NetLogic Microsystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 8.4.

RECITALS

A. WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of each of Merger Sub and the Company have approved and declared advisable, and Parent’s board of directors has approved, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Law”);

B. WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously resolved to recommend to its stockholders the adoption of this Agreement;

C. WHEREAS, as an inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain of the Key Employees (as defined herein) have entered into offer letter agreements with Parent;

D. WHEREAS, Parent has required, as a condition to its willingness to enter into this Agreement, that the Board of Directors of the Company exempt, and the Board of Directors of the Company has so exempted, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby from the Rights Agreement dated as of July 7, 2004 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, as rights agent;

E. WHEREAS, Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, has approved and adopted this Agreement and approved the Merger; and

F. WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall

cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”.

1.2 Effective Time; Merger Closing. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law (the “Certificate of Merger”) (the time of such filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or such later time as may be agreed in writing by the Company and Parent and specified in the Certificate of Merger) being the “Effective Time”) as soon as practicable on the Merger Closing Date. The closing of the Merger (the “Merger Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, LLP, located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the second (2^nd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those that by their terms are to be satisfied or waived at the Merger Closing, each of which shall be capable of being satisfied at the Merger Closing) (the “Normal Closing Due Date”), or at such other time, date and location as the parties hereto agree in writing. The date on which the Merger Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Merger Closing Date”. “Business Day” shall mean each day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions located in Irvine, California are authorized or obligated by any Law or executive order to close or a United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) holiday. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in Section 5.6 to the contrary, Parent shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, by giving written notice to the Company on or before the Normal Closing Due Date, to defer the date of the Merger Closing:

(i) if the Normal Closing Due Date is on or before fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company’s filing with the SEC of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011, then Parent may thereby defer the Merger Closing to any Business Day until and including the sixteenth (16^th) Business Day after the Company makes such filing;

(ii) if the Normal Closing Due Date is between December 10, 2011 and January 1, 2012, then Parent may thereby defer the Merger Closing to any Business Day until and including January 3, 2012; or

(iii) if the Normal Closing Due Date is after February 16, 2012 and the Company has not already filed with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, then Parent may thereby defer the Merger Closing to any Business Day until and including the first Business Day after the Company’s filing with the SEC of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011;

provided that, solely for purposes determining whether the closing conditions in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(c) have been satisfied, the Merger Closing Date shall be deemed to be the Normal Closing Due Date.

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as in effect on the date hereof (as may be further amended, supplemented or modified as permitted hereby, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) shall be amended and restated in its entirety to be identical to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such Certificate of Incorporation; provided that at the Effective Time, Article I of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is NetLogic Microsystems, Inc.” At the Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof (as may be further amended, supplemented or modified as permitted hereby, the “Bylaws”) shall be amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in the Bylaws; provided that at the Effective Time, the title of the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “Bylaws of NetLogic Microsystems, Inc.”

1.5 Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until the earliest of their death, resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until the earliest of their death, resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly appointed. In addition, unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers, respectively, of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office as a director or officer of each such Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of the Laws of the respective jurisdiction of organization and the respective bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of each such Subsidiary.

1.6 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company, the following shall occur:

(a) Company Common Stock. Each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Shares”) to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(e), will be canceled and extinguished

and automatically converted (subject to Section 1.7) into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to $50.00, without interest (such amount of cash hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Consideration”), to be distributed in the manner provided in Section 1.8 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and bond, if required in Parent’s sole and absolute discretion) in the manner provided in Section 1.10).

(b) Company Options and Company RSUs.

(i) Terminating Company Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested as of the Effective Time, and that (A) is held by any Person who is not as of immediately prior to the Effective Time an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and that has a per share exercise price less than the Merger Consideration (each such Company Option, a “Non-Employee Option”), (B) is held by an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which employee is a permanent resident of the People’s Republic of China (each such employee, a “PRC Employee” and each such Company Option, a “PRC Employee Option”)or (C) has a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, (each, an “Out-of-the-Money Option” and together with the Non-Employee Options and the PRC Employee Options, the “Terminating Options”), shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time, and the holder of each Terminating Option shall be entitled to receive therefor an amount of cash, denominated in either United States dollars or with respect any PRC Employee, in the Company’s discretion, Chinese yuan (rounded down to the nearest whole cent or fen, as applicable), if any, equal to the product of (X) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of such Company Option multiplied by (Y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such Company Option. For the avoidance of doubt, each Out-of-the-Money Option that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time and the holder thereof shall not be entitled to receive any consideration pursuant to this Agreement.

(ii) Assumption of Certain Employee Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than Terminating Options shall be assumed by Parent and converted automatically at the Effective Time into an option denominated in Parent Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Parent Common Stock”) having substantially similar terms and conditions as the Company Option (each, an “Assumed Option”), except that (A) each such Assumed Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (X) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (Y) a fraction (such ratio, the “Option Ratio”), the numerator of which is the Merger Consideration and the denominator of which is

the volume weighted average price for a share of Parent Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to (and excluding) the Merger Closing Date as reported by Bloomberg, L.P., and rounding such product down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing (1) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by (2) the Option Ratio, and rounding such quotient up to the nearest whole cent. The Company will not take any action to accelerate the vesting of any Company Options (other than to implement any existing agreements or arrangements for such acceleration in effect as of the date of this Agreement). As soon as reasonably practicable, Parent will use all reasonable best efforts to issue to each Person who holds an Assumed Option a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Company Option by Parent.

(iii) Terminating Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by any Person who is not as of immediately prior to the Effective Time an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each such Company RSU, a “Terminating RSU”) shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time, and the holder of each Terminating RSU shall be entitled to receive therefor an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (A) the unissued number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration.

(iv) PRC Employee RSUs. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a PRC Employee shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time (“Cancelled RSUs”). Promptly following the Effective Time, the Company shall grant to each PRC Employee a new restricted stock unit of the Company that is economically equivalent to the Cancelled RSUs held by each such PRC Employee.

(v) Assumption of Employee RSUs. At the Effective Time each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than Terminating RSUs and Cancelled RSUs shall be assumed by Parent and converted automatically at the Effective Time into a restricted stock unit denominated in Parent Common Stock having substantially similar terms and conditions as the Company RSU (each, an “Assumed RSU”), except that upon vesting, each such Company RSU will entitle the holder to that number of whole shares of the Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (X) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable with regard to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (Y) the Option Ratio, and rounding such product down to the nearest whole number of

shares of Parent Common Stock. The Company will not take any action to accelerate the vesting of any Company RSU (other than to implement any existing agreements or arrangements for such acceleration in effect as of the date of this Agreement). As soon as reasonably practicable, Parent will issue to each Person who holds an assumed Company RSU a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Company RSU by Parent.

(vi) The Company shall take all steps necessary prior to the Effective Time to cause the Company Options and Company RSUs to be treated as set forth in this Section 1.6, including providing any necessary notices and obtaining any necessary consents or waivers and making any necessary amendments to the Company Stock Plans and related agreements. The Company represents and warrants that copies of the relevant agreements governing all Company Options and Company RSUs have been made available to Parent.

(c) Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.6 or otherwise in this Agreement to the contrary, the conversion of Company Options and Company RSUs provided for in this Section 1.6 shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code.

(d) Registration. Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 or on Form S-3 or such other available form (for those awards which are not eligible for registration on Form S-8 and with respect to which no exemption is available) for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Assumed Options and the Assumed RSUs concurrent with the first Form 10-Q or Form 10-K filed by Parent with the SEC following the Effective Time, and shall exercise reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statements for so long as any of such Assumed Options and Assumed RSUs remain outstanding.

(e) Cancellation of Treasury and Parent or Merger Sub Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no cash shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(f) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall at the Effective Time be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. After the Effective Time, each certificate, if any, evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(g) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change

with respect to Company Common Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

1.7 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, other than Section 1.7(b), each Company Share held by a holder that: (i) has not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing, (ii) has perfected its rights to appraisal in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law and (iii) as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s appraisal rights (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in Section 1.6, but instead shall be converted into the right to receive only such consideration as may be determined to be due to the holder thereof as provided by Delaware Law. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of an equity owner of the Surviving Corporation or of a stockholder of Parent.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(a), if any holder of Company Shares who demands appraisal for such shares in accordance with Delaware Law shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, each of such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in Section 1.6, without interest thereon, subject to any withholding of Taxes required under applicable Law, upon surrender of the Certificate representing such shares or transfer of such Book-Entry Shares, as applicable.

(c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal rights of any Company Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company which relate to any such demand for appraisal rights and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings which take place prior to the Effective Time with respect to demands for appraisal rights under Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Any communication to be made by the Company to any holder of Company Common Stock with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in advance and shall not be presented to any holder of Company Common Stock prior to the Company receiving Parent’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

1.8 Surrender of Certificates or Transfer of Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a national bank or trust company to act as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time represented by a stock certificate (each, a “Certificate”) and each non-certificated share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time represented by book-entry (the “Book-Entry Shares”), in each instance other than

Dissenting Shares, in accordance with this Article I and Parent shall enter into a customary paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent.

(b) Parent to Provide Cash. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the Paying Agent for exchange, in accordance with this Article I, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the full amount of the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a) as Merger Consideration in exchange for outstanding Company Shares. Any cash deposited with the Paying Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund”.

(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share, whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6(a): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall otherwise be in customary form) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a) as Merger Consideration. Upon (X) surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, or (Y) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, the holder of record of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, with respect to each Company Share surrendered by such holder, the cash constituting the Merger Consideration, and the Certificates so surrendered or Book-Entry Shares so transferred shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered or transferred, outstanding Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, respectively, will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which each Company Share represented thereby shall have been so converted. No interest will be paid or accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares under this Agreement.

(d) Required Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, to any holder or former holder of Company Shares, Company Options, Company RSUs or otherwise, such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other provision or under any provision of state, local or non-United States Tax Law or under any other applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

The

Company agrees that it shall promptly (and in any event within twelve (12) hours) (i) provide Parent with oral and written notice setting forth all such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Parent currently informed in all material respects of the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (including any negotiations contemplated by Section 5.3(d)), (ii) provide Parent a copy of all written materials subsequently provided to, by or on behalf of such Person or group in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and (iii) notify Parent of any determination by the Board of Directors of the Company that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Offer.

(iii) the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to provide such information or enter into such discussion or negotiations would result in a breach of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law.

consultation with its financial advisor, that the terms of the Superior Offer are more favorable to the stockholders of the Company (in their capacities as stockholders) than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (taking into account as it may be adjusted pursuant to paragraph (D) above) and (2) after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take the applicable action set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 5.3(e) would result in a breach of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; and

(g) State Takeover Statute. The Board of Directors of the Company shall not, in connection with any Change of Recommendation, take any action to change the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state Law to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Insurance. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall purchase a fully-paid, noncancellable “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy (a correct and complete copy of which has been provided or made available to Parent) which (i) has an effective term of six (6) years from the Effective Time, (ii) covers those directors and officers who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof for actions and omissions of such officers and directors (in their capacities as such) occurring prior to the Effective Time, (iii) contains terms and conditions that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable to the insured than those of the

Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof and (iv) to the extent the annual premium therefor would not exceed two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage; provided that if such policy is not available on such terms, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with one or more reputable unaffiliated third Person insurers covering those directors and officers who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof for actions and omissions of such officers and directors (in their capacities as such) occurring prior to the Effective Time of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable to the insured than those of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof; provided that in no event will the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year in excess of two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage (and to the extent annual premium would exceed two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage, the Surviving Corporation shall use all reasonable best efforts to cause to be maintained the maximum amount of coverage as is available for such two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of such annual premium).

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is 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.

7.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. Other than with respect to termination pursuant to Section 7.1(g), any termination of this Agreement under Section 7.1 above will be effective immediately upon the delivery of a valid written notice of the terminating party to the other party hereto. Any termination of this Agreement under Section 7.1(g) will be effective upon the later of delivery of a valid written notice of the Company to Parent and payment of the Termination Fee described in, and in accordance with Section 7.3(b). In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except (i) as set forth in Section 5.4(a), this Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and Article VIII, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement or fraud (each, a “Covered Breach”). No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

7.3 Fees and Expenses.

(a) General. Except as set forth in this Section 7.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated; provided that Parent and the Company shall share equally the filing fee for the Notification and Report Forms filed with the FTC and DOJ under the HSR Act and for similar initial premerger notification and report forms filed under similar applicable Laws of other jurisdictions, in each case pursuant to Section 5.6(a).

(b) Company Payment.

(i) Termination Fee. Other than as set forth below, the Company shall promptly, but (except in the case of clause (B) below) in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the date of termination pursuant to the sections of this Agreement as set forth below, pay Parent a fee equal to One Hundred Twenty-Seven Million Dollars ($127,000,000) (the “Termination Fee”) in the event that this Agreement is (A) terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d); (B) terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(g), provided that in the case of termination under Section 7.1(g), payment of the Termination Fee by the Company shall be made concurrently with such termination, or (C) terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(i); provided that in the case of termination pursuant to Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(f) (on account of a knowing and intentional breach of one or more covenants and agreements other than Section 5.2 or Section 5.3) or Section 7.1(i) such payment (1) shall be made only if after the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination, there has been disclosure publicly of an Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company and within twelve (12) months following

the termination of this Agreement, an Acquisition of the Company is consummated or the Company enters into a definitive agreement with a third Person with respect to an Acquisition of the Company and (2) shall be made no later than the earlier of (x) the consummation of such Acquisition of the Company and (y) twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement; provided further that the Company shall not be excused of its obligation to pay the Termination Fee by reason of the termination or abandonment of any such definitive agreement with respect to the Acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 7.3(b)(i), no Termination Fee shall be payable with respect to any termination pursuant to Section 7.1(b) under circumstances where (x) Parent’s or Merger Sub’s breach of this Agreement was the principal cause of the failure of the Merger Closing Date to occur on or before the End Date, or (y) the condition set forth in Section 6.1(c) has not been satisfied prior to termination and the Company’s breach of this Agreement was not the principal cause of the failure of the satisfaction of, Section 6.1(c) on or before the End Date.

(ii) Interest and Costs; Other Remedies. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim that results in a judgment against the Company for the amounts set forth in this Section 7.3(b), the Company shall pay to Parent the reasonable costs and expenses of Parent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) at the rate two percent (2%) per annum over the United States bank prime rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required (or, if such date is not a publication date, the most recent preceding publication date) from the date such payment was required to be made (or such lesser percentage as is the maximum permitted under applicable Law). Any and all such payment of fees and expenses described in this Section 7.3(b) shall be made by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account to be designated by Parent. Payment of the fees and expenses described in this Section 7.3(b) shall not be in lieu of, but shall be credited against, damages incurred in the event of a Covered Breach. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which such Termination Fee 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 Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.3(b)(ii) shall limit the

rights of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company under Section 8.8 (or otherwise with respect to injunctive or similar relief) or the rights of Parent or Merger Sub to seek damages under Section 7.2 for any Covered Breach.

(iii) Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 7.3(b) only, “Acquisition,” with respect to the Company, means a transaction of the type described in the definition of Acquisition Proposal, except that for this purpose each reference to “fifteen percent (15%)” therein shall be deemed to be a reference to “forty percent (40%)”.

7.4 Amendment. Subject to applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after obtaining Stockholder Approval; provided that no such amendment shall be made after the Stockholder Approval which by Delaware Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such further stockholder approval; provided further that this Agreement may not be amended except by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company.

7.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time either party hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Board of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed: (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, including pursuant to Section 7.1, shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such waiver is in writing and is signed by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that that no such waiver shall be made after the Stockholder Approval which by Delaware Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such further stockholder approval.

This Agreement supersedes the letter agreement between the parties regarding exclusivity dated as of August 16, 2011, provided that nothing herein shall excuse any breach thereof occurring prior to the execution of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the Company has not made and is not making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except as provided in Article II, and that they are not relying and have not relied on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except as provided in Article II; and (b) the Company acknowledges and agrees that Parent and Merger Sub have not made and are not making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except as provided in Article III, and that it is not relying and has not relied on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except as provided in Article III.

8.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

8.8 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed by the parties hereto that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties may be entitled at law or in equity.

8.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and covenants not to assert or plead any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

8.10 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

8.11 Assignment. No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties, except that Parent may transfer or assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries at any time; provided that Merger Sub may assign this Agreement to any wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (provided that such assignment shall not impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise materially impede the rights of the stockholders of the Company under this Agreement). No transfer or assignment by any party shall relieve such party of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 8.11 shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

8.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, MERGER SUB OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
