The Merger

2.1 Conversion of Shares.

At the Effective Time, each share of Merger Sub Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and the shares of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub Common Stock are so converted shall be the only shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time.

(b) Conversion or Assumption of Company Securities.

(i) Company Common Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(c)) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof (except as expressly provided herein), be converted into and represent the right to receive an amount of cash, without interest, equal to the Cash Amount Per Share. The amount of cash each Company Stockholder is entitled to receive for the shares of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder shall be rounded

to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all shares of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder.

(ii) Company Options. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Company Option that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then exercisable, will be assumed by Acquiror and converted into an option to purchase Acquiror Common Stock (collectively, “Assumed Options”). Each Company Option so assumed and converted will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions, except that (A) each converted Company Option shall be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share) and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such converted Company Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The conversion of Company Options provided for in this Section 2.1(b)(ii) with respect to any Company Options that are intended to be “incentive stock options” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code and otherwise in a manner designed to preserve incentive stock option treatment to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(iii) Company Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Stock Unit that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by Acquiror and converted into an Acquiror Restricted Stock Unit (collectively, “Assumed Restricted Stock Units”). Each Company Restricted Stock Unit so assumed and converted will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions, except that each converted Company Restricted Stock Unit shall be for that number of whole shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to the Company Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share).

(iv) Company Warrants. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Company Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof (except as expressly provided herein), be converted into and represent the right to receive an amount of cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) multiplied by (B) the Cash Amount Per Share, less the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Warrant; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation and Acquiror shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from such payment made to the holder of a Company Warrant the amount of withholding for Taxes required to be deducted and withheld as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.1(b)(iv); provided further, that the right of the Company Warrantholder to receive such cash shall remain subject to the same terms and conditions set

forth in such Company Warrant. The amount of cash each Company Warrantholder is entitled to receive for the Company Warrants held by such Company Warrantholder shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all Company Warrants held by such Company Warrantholder.

(c) Cancellation of Company-Owned Stock. Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b), each share of Company Capital Stock held by the Company or any Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(d) Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Capital Stock occurring after the Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time, all references in this Agreement to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.

(e) Continuation of Vesting and Repurchase Rights. If there are any Unvested Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, then the right to recover or extinguish such Unvested Company Shares under the terms of any Contract with the Company shall be assigned to Acquiror and the cash payable upon conversion of such Unvested Company Shares in the Merger (the “Unvested Cash”) shall be, in place of such Unvested Company Shares, equally subject to such right assigned to Acquiror and shall be withheld by Acquiror and paid without interest to the holders of such Unvested Company Shares if and to the extent such assigned right expires unexercised by Acquiror pursuant to the terms of the applicable Contract with the Company; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation and Acquiror shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from such payments the amount of withholding imposed for Taxes as required by Applicable Law; provided further, that a portion of such newly vested cash so distributed may be treated as imputed interest and will be so treated to the extent required under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder; provided further, that for administrative convenience, Acquiror may in its discretion make all such required payments of newly vested cash according to its normal payroll schedule following the date within a month upon which such cash became vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder paid for Unvested Company Shares with promissory notes, Unvested Cash which vests shall first be applied towards repayment of accrued interest and then outstanding principal under such promissory notes before being distributed to such holder. The Company shall take all actions that may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Acquiror (or its assignee) is entitled to exercise any such right assigned hereunder, such that any Unvested Cash shall be returned to Acquiror without payment to such holder (other than payment of the original purchase price of any Unvested Company Shares converted into Unvested Cash upon exercise of the applicable right by Acquiror according to the terms of the Contract with the Company governing such Unvested Company Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time).

(f) Dissenting Shares. Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the Cash Amount Per Share, and the holders thereof shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the Delaware Law; provided, however, that if any such Company Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall effectively waive, withdraw or lose such stockholder’s rights under Section 262 of the Delaware Law, such stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive fair value under Section 262 of the Delaware Law shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted, at the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Cash Amount Per Share.

2.2 Effects of the Merger. At and upon the Effective Time:

(b) Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall, in accordance with their terms: (i) constitute a material breach of or default under any instrument, license or other Contract governing any Company IP Right (collectively, the “Company IP Rights Agreements”) (except where such breaches, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole); (ii) cause the forfeiture or termination of, or give rise to a right of forfeiture or termination of, any Company IP Right (except where such forfeitures or terminations, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole); or (iii) materially impair the right of the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary to use, develop, make, have made, offer for sale, sell, import, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, license, and/or dispose of any Company IP Right or portion thereof (except where such impairments, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole). There are no royalties, honoraria, fees or other payments (other than salaries payable to employees and independent contractors not contingent on or related to use of their work product) as a result of the use, license-in, manufacture, sale, offering for sale, copying, distribution, or disposition of any Company IP Rights that are incorporated into, integrated or bundled with any of the Company Products or Services by the Company or any Company Subsidiary that shall become payable by the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. After the Closing, all Company-Owned IP Rights will be fully transferable, alienable or licensable by the Surviving Corporation and Acquiror without restriction and without payment of any kind to any third party.

(c) Schedule 3.14(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a list (by name and version number) of each of the products and services currently produced, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold, or distributed by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and each product and service currently under development by the Company or any Company Subsidiary that the Company intends to make generally commercially available within six months after the Agreement Date (each a “Company Product or Service”). To the

Company’s knowledge, neither the operation of the Company Business nor the use, development, manufacture, marketing, licensing, sale, offering for sale, distribution, or intended use of any Company Product or Service (i) violates (or will violate) any license or other Contract between the Company or such Company Subsidiary and any third party, or (ii) infringes or misappropriates (or will infringe or misappropriate) any Intellectual Property right of any other party. There is no pending or threatened, claim or litigation contesting the validity, ownership or right of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to exercise any Company IP Right, nor is there any legitimate basis for any such claim. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received any written notice from a third party (or any other notice from a third party of which the Company’s internal legal department personnel have actual knowledge) asserting that the operation of the Company Business or the development, manufacture, marketing, licensing, sale offering for sale, distribution or intended use of the Company Products or Services conflicts with or infringes (or will conflict with or infringe) the rights of any other party, nor is there any legitimate basis for any such assertion. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received any written notice from any third party offering a license under any such third party patents. None of the Company-Owned IP Rights, the Company Products or Services, the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is subject to any proceeding or outstanding order, contract or stipulation (i) restricting in any manner the use, distribution, transfer, or licensing by the Company or any Company Subsidiaries of any Company-Owned IP Rights or any Company Product or Service (other than any pricing restrictions), or which may affect the validity, use or enforceability of any such Company-Owned IP Rights or Company Product or Service, or (ii) restricting the conduct of the Company Business in order to accommodate Intellectual Property rights of a third party.

(d) To the Company’s knowledge, no current or former employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any Company Subsidiary: (i) is in material violation of any term or covenant of any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement, invention assignment agreement, nondisclosure agreement, noncompetition agreement or any other Contract with any other party by virtue of such employee’s, consultant’s or independent contractor’s being employed by, or performing services for, the Company or any Company Subsidiary or using trade secrets or proprietary information of others without permission; or (ii) has developed any technology, software or other copyrightable, patentable or otherwise proprietary work for the Company or any Company Subsidiary that is subject to any Contract under which such employee, consultant or independent contractor has assigned or otherwise granted to any third party any rights (including Intellectual Property) in or to such technology, software or other copyrightable, patentable or otherwise proprietary work. To the Company’s knowledge, neither the employment of any employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, nor the use by the Company or any Company Subsidiary of the services of any consultant or independent contractor subjects the Company or such Company Subsidiary to any Liability to any third party for improperly soliciting such employee, consultant or independent contractor to work for the Company or such Company Subsidiary, whether such Liability is based on contractual or other legal obligations to such third party.

(e) The Company and each Company Subsidiary has taken all commercially reasonable steps to protect, preserve and maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of all confidential or non-public information included in the Company IP Rights and to preserve and maintain all the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ interests, proprietary rights and trade

secrets in the Company IP Rights. All current and former officers, employees, consultants and independent contractors of the Company and any Company Subsidiary having access to material proprietary information of the Company or such Company Subsidiary, its customers or business partners and inventions owned by the Company or such Company Subsidiary have executed and delivered to the Company or such Company Subsidiary an agreement regarding the protection of such proprietary information and the assignment of inventions to the Company or such Company Subsidiary (in the case of proprietary information of the Company’s or such Company Subsidiary’s customers and business partners, to the extent required by such customers and business partners). The Company has secured valid written assignments from all of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ current and former consultants, independent contractors and employees who were involved in, or who contributed to, the creation or development of any material Company-Owned IP Rights, of the rights to such contributions that may be owned by such persons or that the Company does not already own by operation of law. No current or former employee, officer, director, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any Company Subsidiary has any right, license, claim or interest whatsoever in or with respect to any Company-Owned IP Rights. Schedule 3.14(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a list and description of all technology, software or Intellectual Property owned by a third party (other than software generally available to the public at a per copy license fee of less than $10,000) that is incorporated into, integrated or bundled with any of the Company Products or Services (including any patent licensed by a third party to Company or any Company Subsidiary pursuant to a license agreement which requires payment (solely for rights under such patent) based upon the sale or distribution of any of the Company Products or Services) (“Third Party Product Technology”) and identifies each Contract pursuant to which the Company licenses the Third Party Product Technology.

(f) Schedule 3.14(f) of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a true and complete list of (i) all registrations made throughout the world by or on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary of any patents, copyrights, mask works, trademarks, service marks, Internet domain names or Internet or World Wide Web URLs or addresses with any Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority, including Internet domain name registries, (ii) all applications, registrations, filings and other formal written governmental actions made or taken pursuant to Applicable Law by the Company or any Company Subsidiary to secure, perfect or protect its interest in the Company IP Rights, including all patent applications (excluding unpublished patent applications), copyright applications, mask work applications and applications for registration of trademarks and service marks, including intent-to-use applications, and where applicable the jurisdiction in which each of the items of the Company IP Rights has been applied for, filed, issued or registered, and (iii) all inter parties proceedings or actions before any court or tribunal (including the United States Patent and Trademark Office) or equivalent authority anywhere else in the world) related to any of the Company IP Rights (collectively, the “Company Registered Intellectual Property”). All registered patents, trademarks, service marks, Internet domain names, Internet or World Wide Web URLs or addresses, copyrights and mask work rights held by the Company or any Company Subsidiary are valid, enforceable and subsisting, and the Company or such Company Subsidiary is the record owner thereof. Schedule 3.14(f) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of all actions that are required to be taken by the Company or its Subsidiaries within 120 days of the Agreement Date with respect to any of the Company Registered Intellectual Property in order to avoid prejudice to, impairment or abandonment of such Company Registered

Intellectual Property. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries are the exclusive owner of all trademarks and trade names used in connection with the operation or conduct of the Company Business, including the sale, licensing, distribution or provision of any Company Products or Services by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. The Company owns exclusively, and has good title to, all copyrighted works which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries owns or purports to own.

(g) The Company and the Company Subsidiaries own all right, title and interest in and to all Company-Owned IP Rights free and clear of all liens, pledges and security interests (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

(h) No license or other Contract to which the Company is a party and pursuant to which any person is authorized to use any Company-Owned IP Rights grants any third party exclusive rights to or under any Company-Owned IP Rights or grants any third party the right to sublicense any of such Company-Owned IP Rights (provided that the right to resell a software product, without the right to reproduce such product, shall not be considered a sublicense right). Neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries has transferred ownership of any material Intellectual Property that is or was owned by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to any third party.

(i) Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary nor any other party acting on its behalf has disclosed or made available to any party, or permitted the disclosure or delivery to any escrow agent or other party of, any Company Source Code (as defined below). No event has occurred, and no circumstance or condition exists, that (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) shall, or would reasonably be expected to, result in the disclosure or delivery by the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any other party acting on its behalf to any party of any Company Source Code. Schedule 3.14(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter identifies each Contract pursuant to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary has deposited, or is or may be required to deposit, with an escrow agent or other party, any Company Source Code and further describes whether the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, in and of itself, would reasonably be expected to result in the release from escrow of any Company Source Code. As used in this Section 3.14(i), “Company Source Code” means, collectively, any human readable software source code, or any material portion or aspect of the software source code that constitutes a Company Product currently marketed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

(j) To the Company’s knowledge, there is no unauthorized use, disclosure, infringement or misappropriation of any Company IP Rights by any third party, including any employee or former employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

(k) All Company Products or Services provided by or through the Company or any Company Subsidiary to customers on or prior to the Closing Date conform in all material respects (to the extent required in Contracts with such customers) to applicable contractual commitments, express warranties and representations provided to customers in such Contracts, and neither Company nor any Company Subsidiary has any material Liability (and, to the knowledge of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, there is no legitimate basis for any present or future action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim or

demand against the Company or any Company Subsidiary giving rise to any material Liability relating to the foregoing Contracts) for replacement or repair thereof or other damages in connection therewith in excess of any reserves therefor reflected on the Company Balance Sheet. The Company has a policy and procedure for tracking material bugs, errors and defects of which it becomes aware in any Company Products or Services, and maintains a database covering the foregoing. For all software used by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries in providing Company Products or Services, or in developing or making available any of the Company Products or Services, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have used reasonable business judgment in determining whether or not to implement security patches or upgrades that are generally available for that software.

(l) No government funding or facilities of a university, college, other educational institution or educational research center was used in the development of the Company Products or Services, computer software programs or applications owned by the Company or any Company Subsidiary. To the Company’s knowledge, no current or former employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any Company Subsidiary who was involved in, or who contributed to, the creation or development of any Company IP Rights has performed services for the government, for a university, college or other educational institution or for an educational research center during a period of time during which such employee, consultant or independent contractor was also performing services for the Company or any Company Subsidiary whereby the performance of such services has caused such government, university, college, educational institution or educational research center to obtain rights to any material Company-Owned IP Rights.

(m) Schedule 3.14(m) lists all material Open Source Materials incorporated or integrated by the Company or any Company Subsidiary into any Company Product, and describes the manner in which such material Open Source Materials were incorporated or integrated into such Company Product (such description shall include whether (and if so, how) the Open Source Materials were modified or distributed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary). As used in this Section 3.14(m), “Open Source Materials” means any software that (i) is generally publicly distributed without charge, in source code form, and under a license that authorizes each licensee to modify and distribute such software and sublicense such rights to other parties without charge (e.g., Linux).

The Company is in material compliance with the terms and conditions of all applicable licenses for such Open Source Materials.

(n) With such exceptions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has (i) incorporated Open Source Materials into, or combined Open Source Materials with, the Company Products; (ii) distributed Open Source Materials in conjunction with any Company Products; or (iii) used Open Source Materials, in such a way that, as a result of (i), (ii), or (iii), grants, or purports to grant, to any third party, any rights or immunities under any Company-Owned Software (including using any Open Source Materials in a manner that requires any Company-Owned Software to be

Unless otherwise indicated in Schedule 3.16(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, with respect to each such Company Benefit Arrangement that is an “employee pension benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, the Company has received a favorable opinion, advisory, notification and/or determination letter, as applicable, that such plan satisfied the requirements of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 and the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (collectively referred to as “GUST”), the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 and the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (a copy of which letter(s) have been made available to Acquiror and its counsel), and nothing has occurred since the issuance of such opinion, advisory, notification and/or determination letter, as applicable, which would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of the Tax-qualified status of such Company Benefit Arrangement. Each Company Benefit Arrangement can be amended, terminated or otherwise discontinued after the Effective Time in accordance with its terms, without liability to Acquiror and/or the Merger Sub (other than ordinary administrative expenses typically incurred in a termination event). No suit, administrative proceeding, action or other litigation has been brought, or to the knowledge of the Company, is threatened, against or with respect to any such Company Benefit Arrangement, including any audit or inquiry by the Internal Revenue Service or United States Department of Labor.

(vi) All contributions due from the Company with respect to any of the Company Benefit Arrangements have been timely made under the terms of the applicable Company Benefit Arrangement, ERISA, the Code and any other Applicable Law, or there is a period of time remaining for such contributions to be timely made except to the extent failure to make such contributions would result in a material liability to the Company.

(vii) No Company Benefit Arrangement (other than life insurance arrangements) provides post-termination or retiree welfare benefits to any person for any reason, except as may be required by COBRA or other Applicable Law.

(e) To the knowledge of the Company each Company Benefit Arrangement, to the extent applicable, is in compliance, in all material respects, with the continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code, Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA, the applicable health care continuation and notice provisions of COBRA and the regulations (including proposed regulations) thereunder.

ARTICLE 5
Company Covenants

During the time period from the Agreement Date until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time or (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, the Company covenants and agrees with Acquiror as follows:

5.1 Preparation of SEC Documents; Company Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) Proxy Statement. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Agreement Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company without providing Acquiror and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and reflecting therein all reasonable comments proposed by Acquiror and its counsel. The Company will promptly advise Acquiror, of the time when the definitive form of the Proxy Statement has been filed with the SEC or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, or any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information and will promptly provide Acquiror with copies of any written communication from the SEC or any state securities commission. The Company will respond in good faith to any comments of the SEC and will cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as soon as reasonably practicable. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event or information (including any Change in Recommendation) relating to the Company, or any of its Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by Acquiror or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing

such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, disseminated to the Company Stockholders.

(b) Company Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Agreement Date, take all action necessary in accordance with the Company Charter Documents and Applicable Law to duly give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting. Unless there has been a Change in Recommendation pursuant to Section 5.2(d), the Company will use reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, including by using reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders’ Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to its stockholders in advance of a vote on the adoption of this Agreement, or, if, as of the time for which the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting. The Company shall ensure that the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited by the Company in connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with the Company Charter Documents and Applicable Law. Without the prior written consent of Acquiror, adoption of this Agreement (including adjournment of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, if necessary, if a quorum is present, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of adoption of this Agreement), is the only matter which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, adoption of this Agreement shall be submitted by the Company to the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting.

(c) Board Recommendation. Except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 5.2(d), (i) the Company Board shall recommend that its stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Company Board has recommended that the Company Stockholders vote in favor of adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, and (iii) neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, amend or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Acquiror, the recommendation of the Company Board that the Company Stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement.

5.2 No Solicitation.

(a) Alternative Transaction. The Company shall not and will cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, (i) permit any of its or its subsidiaries’ officers, directors, attorneys or financial advisors (or its or its subsidiaries’ other employees, agents or representatives who have the authority to act on behalf of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries regarding any Alternative Transaction) (collectively, “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, seek, endorse, recommend or support, or knowingly encourage or facilitate, any inquiry, proposal or offer from, furnish any non-public information to, or participate in any discussions or

negotiations with, or enter into any agreement with, any party or group regarding any Alternative Transaction (except to disclose the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.2), (ii) approve, endorse or recommend any Alternative Transaction (except to the extent specifically permitted by Section 5.2(d)), or (iii) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract, agreement or commitment (whether binding or not) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Alternative Transaction Proposal. The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any third parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction Proposal, and, upon Acquiror’s request, shall request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person with which the Company, its Subsidiaries or Representatives have engaged in any such activities within the 12-month period preceding the Agreement Date. The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, use reasonable best efforts to enforce (and will not waive any provisions of) any confidentiality or standstill agreement (or any similar agreement) to which the Company of any of its Subsidiaries is a party relating to any such Alternative Transaction Proposal. Any breach of the foregoing provisions of this subsection by any of the Company Subsidiaries or Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach by the Company.

(b) Notification. As promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours) after receipt by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Representative of any Alternative Transaction Proposal or any request for non-public information relating in any way to any Alternative Transaction Proposal, the Company shall provide Acquiror with oral and written notice of the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Transaction Proposal or request, and the identity of the Person or Group making any such Alternative Transaction Proposal or request and a copy of material written materials provided to it in connection with such Alternative Transaction Proposal. Thereafter, the Company shall keep Acquiror informed on a current basis in all material respects regarding the status and details of any such Alternative Transaction Proposal or request (including substantive modifications or proposed substantive modifications), including by providing to Acquiror a copy of material written materials setting forth such modifications or proposed modifications. The Company shall provide Acquiror with 48 hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the Company Board) of any meeting of the Company Board at which it is reasonably expected to consider any Alternative Transaction Proposal or Alternative Transaction, including to consider whether such Alternative Transaction Proposal is a Superior Proposal.

(c) Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the provisions of Section 5.2(a), in the event that prior to the time that Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, the Company receives a bona fide written Alternative Transaction Proposal that was not solicited in, or submitted as a result of a, violation of Section 5.2(a)(i) hereof that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) is, or is reasonably likely to become, a Superior Proposal, the Company or the Company Board may then take the following actions, but only if (i) (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that it is required to do so to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Company Stockholders under Applicable Law, and (B) the Company has given Acquiror prior written notice that the Company Board has made the determination set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A), and (ii) the

Company shall have provided to Acquiror the information regarding such Alternative Transaction Proposal as set forth in the first two sentences of Section 5.2(b).

(i) Furnish non-public information to the Person or Group making such Alternative Transaction Proposal, provided that (A) the Company first shall have received from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement in substantially the same form as the Confidentiality Agreement, which confidentiality agreement shall not include any provision having the actual or purported effect of restricting the Company from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement and shall also require such Person to agree to customary employee non-solicitation provisions covering at least 12 months from execution of such confidentiality agreement and (B) contemporaneously with furnishing any such non-public information to such Person or Group, it furnishes such non-public information to Acquiror (to the extent such non-public information has not been previously so furnished to Acquiror); and

(ii) Engage in discussions or negotiations (including negotiation of appropriate documentation) with such Person or Group with respect to such Alternative Transaction Proposal.

(d) Change in Recommendation. Solely in response to the receipt of a bona fide written Alternative Transaction Proposal that was not solicited in, or submitted as a result of a, violation of Section 5.2(a)(i) hereof that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, to be a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may make a Change in Recommendation, if all of the following conditions in clauses (i) through (vi) are met:

(i) the Superior Proposal has been made and has not been withdrawn;

(ii) the Company Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained;

(iii) the Company has (A) provided to Acquiror three Business Days’ prior written notice which shall state expressly (1) that it has received a Superior Proposal, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal, a copy of all negotiated draft agreements relating thereto, and the identity of the Person or Group of Persons making the Superior Proposal, and (3) that it intends to effect a Change in Recommendation and the manner in which it intends to do so, (B) provided to Acquiror (to the extent not previously provided) a copy of all non-public information made available to the Person or Group making the Superior Proposal in connection with such Superior Proposal, and (C) during the aforementioned three Business Day period, if requested by Acquiror, engaged in good faith negotiations with Acquiror with respect to any amendments Acquiror proposes to make to this Agreement such that the Superior Proposal would no longer be a Superior Proposal;

(iv) Acquiror shall not have, within the aforementioned three Business Day period, made, and not withdrawn, a bona fide written offer that the Company Board has in good faith determined (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its

financial advisor) results in the Alternative Transaction Proposal that had been determined to be a Superior Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal; and

(v) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal and the results of any negotiations with Acquiror as contemplated by subsection (iii) above and any bona fide written offer from Acquiror contemplated by subsection (iv) above, the Company Board is required to effect a Change in Recommendation to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Applicable Law.

(e) Tender Offer Rules. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided that the Company shall not effect, or disclose pursuant to such rules or otherwise a position which constitutes, a Change in Recommendation unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2(d).

5.3 Maintenance of Business.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, exercise reasonable best efforts to carry on the Company Business in the ordinary course consistent with its past practices, including with respect to the payment of debts, Taxes, and other Liabilities when due (subject to good faith disputes over such debts, Taxes or other Liabilities), and in such regard shall provide the access to information contemplated in Section 5.7 hereof.

(b) The Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, use its reasonably diligent efforts to assure that each of its Contracts (other than with Acquiror) entered into after the Agreement Date will not require the procurement of any consent, waiver or novation in connection with, or terminate as a result of, the consummation of, the Merger.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) make all required Antitrust Filings and, as reasonably requested by Acquiror, obtain all other necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities, make all necessary registrations and filings and take all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority, (ii) cooperate with Acquiror to determine an appropriate process to identify any, and thereafter seek to obtain any so identified, consents, approvals or waivers from third parties necessary to consummate the Merger, (iii) defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, brought by third parties (and not Governmental Authorities) challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, including promptly seeking to have reversed any stay or temporary restraining order resulting from such lawsuits or proceedings entered by any court or other Governmental Authority, and (iv) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company shall make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable after the Agreement Date and to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to take all other actions reasonably necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act, and under comparable merger notification regulations of any foreign or other Governmental Authority, as soon as practicable. Subject to Applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, Acquiror shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent reasonably practicable the Company will consult Acquiror on, all the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority or third party in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Notification. The Company shall keep Acquiror reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Merger and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority (whether domestic, foreign or supranational).

The Company may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to Acquiror under this Section 5.6 as “outside counsel only.” Such material and the information so designated and contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient unless express written consent is obtained in advance from the Company or its legal counsel.

(c) State Takeover Statutes. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall (i) take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or the Merger and (ii) if any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement or the Merger, take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms required by, or provided for, in this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement or the Merger. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not take any action to render inapplicable or to exempt any third Person from, any state takeover law or state law that purports to limit or restrict business combinations or the ability to acquire or vote shares of capital stock unless (i) required to do so by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of a Superior Proposal with respect to the Company, it is required to take such action to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Applicable Law.

5.7 Access to Information. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.7 to the Company Disclosure Letter, subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Acquiror and to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives of Acquiror, reasonable access at all reasonable times on reasonable notice during the period prior to the Effective Time to all their properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records (provided, that such access shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries) and, during such period and subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make available promptly to Acquiror (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Acquiror may reasonably request; provided, however, that with respect to any documents or other information subject to the attorney-client privilege, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Acquiror to develop procedures (such as a common legal interest agreement) to allow such documents and information to be shared with Acquiror and its advisors without waiving such attorney-client privilege. No review pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein, the covenants or agreements of the parties hereto or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement.

5.8 Confidentiality. The Company will hold and keep confidential, and will cause its officers and employees and will direct its accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other authorized representatives and Affiliates to hold and keep confidential, any non-public information in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which Confidentiality Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

5.9 Public Announcements. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to consult with Acquiror before issuing, and will provide Acquiror the opportunity to review and comment upon, and use reasonable best efforts to agree on, any press release or other public statements to be made by the Company with respect to the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as the Company may reasonably determine is required by Applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or stock market. In addition, except to the extent disclosed in or consistent with the Proxy Statement in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1 or prior communications consented to in accordance with this Section 5.9, the Company shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or disclosure concerning Acquiror’s business, financial condition or results of operations without the consent of Acquiror, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as the Company may reasonably determine is required by Applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or stock market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, it is not intended that this Section 5.9 shall apply to the matters set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 hereof (including with respect to a Change in Recommendation), which shall be exclusively governed thereby. The initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form agreed to by the Company and Acquiror.

5.10 Employee Benefits.

(a) Termination of Benefit Plans. To the extent requested in writing by Acquiror no later than ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions necessary to terminate, effective no later than the date immediately preceding the Closing Date, any Company Benefit Arrangement that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Company 401(k) Plans”) in accordance with the provisions of the Company 401(k) Plans and Applicable Law. If Acquiror requests that the Company 401(k) Plans be terminated, the Company Board shall adopt resolutions authorizing the termination of the Company 401(k) Plans effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, such resolutions to subject to the reasonable review and approval by Acquiror’s counsel. Upon the request of Acquiror, the Company shall terminate (or cause to be terminated) any and all group severance, separation, retention and salary continuation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements prior to the Closing Date (other than agreements that by their terms cannot be unilaterally terminated by Company and Contracts listed on Schedule 5.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter).

(b) Company ESPP. The Company shall terminate the Company ESPP prior to the Effective Time. To the extent any offering period under the Company ESPP is in progress prior to such termination, the Company shall ensure that such offering period ends immediately prior to such termination, and that each participant’s accumulated contributions for such offering

period are applied towards the purchase of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such termination unless the participant has previously withdrawn from such offering period in accordance with the terms of such plan.

(c) The Company will consult with Acquiror (and consider in good faith the advice of Acquiror) prior to sending any material notices or other communication materials to its employees regarding the matters described in this Section 5.10 and any other matters relative to the entry into the Agreement or the effects of the Merger.

5.11 Section 16 Matters. 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. The Company acknowledges that all such above reference dispositions are compensatory in nature.

Subject to Applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent reasonably practicable Acquiror will consult the Company on, all the information relating to Acquiror and its Subsidiaries that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority or third party in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Notification. Acquiror shall keep the Company reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Merger and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority (whether domestic, foreign or supranational). In that regard, Acquiror shall without limitation use its reasonable best efforts to (i) promptly notify the Company of, and if in writing and requested by the Company, furnish the Company with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise the other orally of) any communications or filings from or with any Governmental Authority (whether domestic, foreign or supranational) with respect to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) permit the Company to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of Company in connection with, any proposed written (or any material proposed oral) communication with any such Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) to the extent practicable, not participate in any meeting with any such Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the Company in advance and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority gives the Company the opportunity to attend and participate thereat, and (iv) furnish the Company with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the Company may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of necessary filings or submissions of information to any such Governmental Authority. Acquiror may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the Company under this Section 6.2 as “outside counsel only.” Such material and the information so designated and contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of

the recipient unless express written consent is obtained in advance from Acquiror or its legal counsel.

(c) State Takeover Statutes. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, Acquiror shall (i) take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or the Merger and (ii) if any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement or the Merger, take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms required by, or provided for, in this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement or the Merger.

(d) Antitrust Restraints. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any Governmental Authority challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Laws, it is expressly understood and agreed that: (i) Acquiror shall not have any obligation to litigate or contest, or continue to litigate or contest, any administrative or judicial action or proceeding brought by, or any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent issued in favor of, any Governmental Authority asserting that the Merger, or any aspect thereof, is in violation of any Antitrust Law; and (ii) Acquiror shall be under no obligation to make proposals, execute or carry out agreements, enter into consent decrees or submit to orders providing for (A) the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of Acquiror or any of its affiliates or the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, (B) the imposition of any limitation or regulation on the ability of Acquiror or any of its affiliates to freely conduct their business or own such assets, or (C) the holding separate of the shares of Company Capital Stock or any limitation or regulation on the ability of Acquiror or any of its affiliates to exercise full rights of ownership of the shares of Company Capital Stock, to such extent as would be reasonably likely to (1) adversely impact in any material respect the benefits expected to be derived by Acquiror from the Merger, including with respect to products, services or technologies of the Company, Acquiror or their respective Subsidiaries, including existing products, services or technologies, or (2) otherwise adversely impact in any material respect any business line of Acquiror or its Subsidiaries (any of the foregoing, an “Antitrust Restraint”).

6.3 Confidentiality. Acquiror will hold and keep confidential, and will cause its officers and employees and will direct its accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other authorized representatives and Affiliates to hold and keep confidential, any non-public information in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which Confidentiality Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

Acquiror also covenants and agrees with the Company as follows:

6.4 Employee Benefits. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall enroll those persons who were employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and who remain employees of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries or become employees of Acquiror following the

Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) in Acquiror’s employee benefit plans for which such employees are eligible (which could, in Acquiror’s sole discretion, include Company Benefit Arrangements continued by Acquiror after the Effective Time) (the “Acquiror Plans”), including its medical plans, dental plans, life insurance plans and disability plans, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Acquiror Plans, on substantially similar terms applicable to employees of Acquiror who are similarly situated based on levels of responsibility. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Acquiror shall recognize the prior service with the Company of each of the Continuing Employees (i) for all purposes in connection with Acquiror’s PTO policy, severance policy, 401(k) plan, medical plans, dental plans, life insurance plans and disability plans and (ii) for all purposes in connection with all other Acquiror Plans (to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable Acquiror Plans); it is understood that for purposes of the foregoing Acquiror Plans, even in situations where the prior service with the Company is so recognized by Acquiror, the benefit levels under such Acquiror Plans may nevertheless depend in part on the grade or position of the Continuing Employees with Acquiror, all as set forth under the terms of the applicable Acquiror Plans. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.4 to the contrary, this Section 6.4 shall not operate to (a) duplicate any benefit provided to any Continuing Employee or to fund any such benefit not previously funded, (b) require Acquiror to continue in effect any Company Benefit Arrangement or any severance plan or other employee benefit plan of Acquiror (or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof) following the Effective Time for Acquiror’s employees, including the Continuing Employees, or (c) be construed to mean the employment of the Continuing Employees is not terminable by Acquiror at will at any time, with or without cause, for any reason or no reason. Acquiror shall also perform the additional covenants set forth on Schedule 6.4 hereto.

6.5 Indemnification of Company Directors and Officers.

(a) If the Merger is consummated, then until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Acquiror shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company to its directors and officers as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Indemnified Persons”) pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws as in effect on the Agreement Date and pursuant to the terms of any indemnification agreements between the Company or such Company Subsidiary on the one hand, and such Company Indemnified Person on the other hand, in each case existing as of the Agreement Date (the “Company Indemnification Provisions”), with respect to claims arising out of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. In connection therewith Acquiror shall advance expenses to the Company Indemnified Persons as incurred to the fullest extent provided for under the Company Indemnification Provisions, provided the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to the terms of the Company Indemnification Provisions or under Applicable Law. Any claims for indemnification made under this Section 6.5(a) on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time shall survive such anniversary until the final resolution thereof.

(b) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect, to the extent available, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by

the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in an amount and on terms no less advantageous, when taken as a whole, to those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company; provided, however, Acquiror may fulfill its obligations under this Section 6.5(b) by purchasing a policy of directors’ and officers’ insurance or a “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy, in either case which (i) has an effective term of six years from the Effective Time, (ii) covers only those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect as of the Agreement Date and only for actions and omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) contains terms and conditions (including, without limitation, coverage amounts) that are no less advantageous, when taken as a whole, to those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company, provided further, that in no event shall Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend an annual premium for any such coverage in excess of 200% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company under its directors’ and officer’s liability insurance policy in effect as of the Agreement Date, and if the cost for any such coverage is in excess of such amount, Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation shall only be required to maintain such coverage as is available for such amount.

(c) This Section 6.5 shall survive the consummation of the Merger, is intended to benefit each Company Indemnified Person, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation and Acquiror, and shall be enforceable by the Company Indemnified Persons.

6.6 Assumption of Company Securities; Form S-8. Acquiror shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary for the assumption of the Company Options and Company Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii)-(iii), including the reservation for issuance and authorization for listing on NASDAQ of the shares of Acquiror Common Stock subject to Assumed Options and Assumed Restricted Stock. Acquiror shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 for the shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable with respect to Assumed Options and Assumed Restricted Stock Units eligible for registration on such form as soon as reasonably practicable (and no later than three Business Days) after the Effective Time and shall exercise reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as any of such Assumed Options or Assumed Restricted Stock Units remains outstanding.

ARTICLE 7
Closing Matters

7.1 The Closing. Subject to termination of this Agreement as provided in Article 9, the Closing shall take place at the offices of Fenwick & West LLP, Silicon Valley Center, 801 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ the Closing Date. Concurrently with the Closing or at such later date and time as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Company and Acquiror, the Certificate of Merger shall be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with Delaware Law.

7.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Fund. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall deposit with Computershare Trust Company, Inc. (the “Exchange Agent”)

the aggregate amount of cash consideration, in immediately available funds, payable pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund will be held by the Exchange Agent in trust in a separate fund for the benefit of Company Stockholders and will be distributed to Company Stockholders in exchange for outstanding Company Common Stock in accordance with Article 2 hereof, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(e) (regarding the continuation of vesting and repurchase rights).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable (and no later than two Business Days) after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of certificates or instruments evidencing the Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Certificates”) and which were converted into the right to receive cash pursuant to Section 2.1(b), (i) a letter of transmittal (that shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for cash, which letter of transmittal and instructions shall be in the customary form used by Acquiror and the Exchange Agent (provided that Acquiror will provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon). Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange 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 Exchange Agent (including any required Form W-9 or Form W-8), the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check in the amount of U.S. dollars that such holders have the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b) subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(e) (regarding the continuation of vesting and repurchase rights), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the right to receive upon surrender thereof a check in the amount of U.S. dollars that the holders thereof have the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b) subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(e) (regarding the continuation of vesting and repurchase rights). No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check in the amount of U.S. dollars that the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b) subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(e) (regarding the continuation of vesting and repurchase rights), may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid.

(c) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue and pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, a check in the amount of U.S. dollars into which the Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(b) subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(e) (regarding the continuation of vesting and repurchase rights); provided, however, that Acquiror or the Exchange Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of such cash, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any

claim that may be made against Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the former holders of Company Common Stock for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Acquiror, upon demand, and any such holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with the provisions of this Section 7.2 shall thereafter look only to Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation for the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(b) subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(e) (regarding the continuation of vesting and repurchase rights), without any interest thereon.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Securities. All cash paid in accordance with the terms hereof with respect to Company Common Stock and Company Warrants shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock and Company Warrants, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Company Common Stock and/or Company Warrants that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If after the Effective Time Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 7.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, neither the Exchange Agent, Acquiror, the Company, the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Company Common Stock, Company Options or Company Warrants for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1 hereof and any payment of a Termination Fee, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any of the parties, except (a) as set forth in Sections 5.8 and 6.3 (Confidentiality), this Section 9.2 (Effect of Termination) and Section 9.3 (Payments), as well as Article 10 (Miscellaneous) (other than Section 10.1) to the extent applicable to such surviving sections, each of which shall survive termination of this Agreement, and (b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party from any further liability for any willful or intentional breach of any representation or warranty of such party contained herein or any breach of any covenant or agreement of such party contained herein. 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. Payments made pursuant to Section 9.3 (Payments) shall be in addition to any other rights, remedies and relief of the parties hereto or with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

9.3 Payments.

(a) Payments by the Company.

(i) Termination Fee. In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(e), the Company shall pay Acquiror a fee equal to $37,500,000 (the “Termination Fee”) as provided in Section 9.1(e). In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Acquiror pursuant to Section 9.1(f), the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days after the date of such termination, pay Acquiror the Termination Fee. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iii), the Company shall pay Acquiror the Termination Fee if (A) following the Agreement Date and prior to such termination, an Alternative Transaction Proposal with respect to the Company (1) shall have been publicly announced by any Person, (2) shall have been made to the Company Stockholders by any Person, or (3) shall have been made to the Company by any Person and subsequently been publicly announced or disclosed, and in each case such Alternative

Transaction Proposal shall not have been withdrawn, and (B) within 12 months following termination of this Agreement, any Company Acquisition with respect to the Company is consummated or the Company enters into a Contract providing for any Company Acquisition, in which case such fee payment is to be made concurrently with the earlier of the consummation of such Company Acquisition or the execution of such Contract, as applicable.

(ii) Acquiror Expenses. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iii), the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two days after the date of such termination, reimburse Acquiror for its Transaction Expenses, not to exceed $2,000,000. The amount of any Transaction Expenses reimbursed by the Company to Acquiror shall be credited against any subsequent payment required to be made by the Company to Acquiror of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i) above.

(b) Interest and Costs. All payments under this Section 9.3 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Acquiror. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Acquiror would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 9.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, Acquiror makes a claim that results in a judgment against the Company, the Company shall pay to Acquiror its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 9.3 at the rate of interest per annum publicly announced by Bank of America as its prime rate, as in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. Payment of the fees described in this Section 9.3 shall not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of breach of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by Section 9.2.

9.4 Amendment. Subject to compliance with Applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time before or after the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that after the occurrence of either the Company Stockholder Approval there may not be, without further approval of the stockholders of the Company, any amendment of this Agreement that changes the amount or the form of the consideration to be delivered to the holders of Company Common Stock hereunder, or which by Applicable Law otherwise expressly requires the further approval of such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto and duly approved by the parties’ respective Boards of Directors or a duly designated committee thereof.

9.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, a party may, subject to the proviso of Section 9.4 (and for this purpose treating any waiver referred to below as an amendment), (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance by the other party hereto with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Any extension or waiver given in compliance with this Section 9.5 or failure to insist

on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

ARTICLE 10
Miscellaneous

10.3 Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

10.4 Jurisdiction. In any action or proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties hereto: (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any Delaware State court (or, in the case of any claim as to which the federal courts have exclusive subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America, sitting in Delaware); (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding must be commenced, and may be heard and determined, exclusively in such Delaware State court (or, if applicable, such Federal court); (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such Delaware State court (and, if applicable, such Federal court); and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such Delaware State court (or, if applicable, such Federal court). Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding 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 in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.2. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

10.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or conditions, express or implied, written or oral, between the parties with respect hereto other than the Confidentiality Agreement. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

10.6 Third Party Beneficiary Rights. No provisions of this Agreement are intended, nor shall be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer, employee, affiliate, stockholder, partner or any party hereto or any other Person unless specifically provided otherwise herein and, except as so provided, all provisions hereof shall be personal solely between the parties to this Agreement; except that Section 6.5 is intended to benefit the Company Indemnified Persons, who shall be third party beneficiaries for purposes of such Section.

10.7 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any successor to, or assignee of, all or substantially all of the business and assets of Acquiror. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, no party hereto may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment in violation of this provision shall be void.

10.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall 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 shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.

10.9 Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereunder shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law 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 that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

10.10 Interpretation; Rules of Construction. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, such reference shall be to an Article of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. References to the Subsidiaries of an entity shall be deemed to include all direct and indirect Subsidiaries of such entity. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented,

including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by legal 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 shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. The one percent threshold established by the parties with respect to the Company’s capitalization in Section 8.3(a)(ii) hereof shall not, in and of itself, constitute an economic benchmark for determining whether any Effect shall be deemed to be material in relation to the Company or shall be deemed to constitute a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original as regards any party whose signature appears thereon and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all parties reflected hereon as signatories.

10.12 Expenses. Whether or not the Merger is successfully consummated, each party shall bear its respective Transaction Expenses, unless otherwise expressly provided herein.

10.13 Attorneys’ Fees. Should suit be brought to enforce or interpret any part of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, as an element of the costs of suit and not as damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees to be fixed by the court (including costs, expenses and fees on any appeal). The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs of suit, regardless of whether such suit proceeds to final judgment.

10.14 No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between any of the parties hereto. No party is by virtue of this Agreement authorized as an agent, employee or legal representative of any other party. No party shall have the power to control the activities and operations of any other and their status is, and at all times shall continue to be, that of independent contractors with respect to each other. No party shall have any power or authority to bind or commit any other party. No party shall hold itself out as having any authority or relationship in contravention of this Section 10.14.

10.15 Confidentiality. The Company and Acquiror each confirm that they have entered into the Confidentiality Agreement and that they are each bound by, and shall abide by, the provisions of such Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that Acquiror shall not be bound by such Confidentiality Agreement after the Closing. If this Agreement is terminated, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and all copies of documents containing confidential information of a disclosing party shall be returned by the receiving party to the disclosing party or be destroyed, as provided in the Confidentiality Agreement.

10.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES

ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.16.
